LWJ has a great plan. Everything is meticulously prepared without a single chance for error.

Today is the day, he will finally propose to Wei Ying.

A beautiful bouquet of flowers in his hands he arrives at the appointed destination.

LWJ comes to a still.

Wei Wuxian is seated where LWJ prepared. At the floating pavilion surrounded by thousands of lotus-shaped lanterns bobbing on the surface of the lake.

He isn’t alone.

Jiang Wanyin is on Wei Ying’s lap, his arms around Wei Ying’s neck, their faces too close to each other for LWJ’s liking. Wei Ying supports Jiang Wanyin by the waist, keeping him from falling.

Why is Jiang Wanyin here?

Wei Ying has a stunningly gorgeous smile on his face from what Jiang Wanyin said and Lan Wangji frowns, urging his feet forwards. Wei Ying notices him when he’s barely two metres away and waves at him.

“LZ! This is beautiful! Thank you so much for setting it up! We love it!” 💕

“…?”

Jiang Wanyin turns his head, a bashful expression on his face and he nods at Lan Wangji. Wei Ying gives him a loud smooch on the cheek and Jiang Wanyin goes redder than ever.

Funny how the fearsome SDSS can flush so red like the blood of the enemies he slayed ruthlessly.

“Are those to congratulate our union?” Wei Ying asks, tilting his chin towards the bouquet of flowers. “You didn’t need to! You’re the best, LZ!”

He gingerly removes JWY from his lap and takes hold of the flowers from LWJ’s grip and gives him a bear hug, thumping his back.

“Seriously, thank you LZ. You’ll be the first person I invite to our wedding. I promise.”

JWY pulls WWX away. “Can’t you see that Lan’er dislikes it? You need to learn boundaries!”

LWJ—him—dislikes, WY’s touch? No way.

The disgusted expression on his face is clearly not from

WY’s hug. But rather for the mess of the situation in front of him.

Didn’t WY accept all of his approaches? Didn’t WY accept his courting? What did he mean wedding with JWY? If Lans could swear, LWJ would be cursing a whole storm right now.

“It’s fine JC! LZ knows me,” WY laughs, slapping LWJ on the shoulder. “He’s the one that listened and help me with all my problems.”

“Oh?” JWY quirks an eyebrow. “All those courting gifts come from Lan’er?”

“Yeah! He’s my best bud!”

LWJ feels the sky fall down on his head. His precious courting gifts he took all of his courage to give to WY—they…they went to JWY? WY thought that he was trying to support his courting of JWY?

What? LWJ feels faint. He needs to leave. Now.

“I…got to go.”

“You don’t look well, LZ, go get some rest. It must have been tough on you to set this all up so perfectly. Come, A-Cheng, let’s go for a boat ride and admire the view!”

LWJ feels so lonely in the wind, watching the back of the one he loves walk away hand in hand with another.
