When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Jiang Cheng didn't say anything. He just withdrew his gaze and said "hmm".

After the question and answer, there was another silence between the two.

His lips hesitantly opened slightly and then closed, closed and opened again, repeating this several times. The words were stuck in his throat as if they were stuck there and he couldn't spit them out. Wei Wuxian even cursed himself in his heart, wondering when he had become so timid that he didn't even dare to utter a simple word.

Wei WuXian calmed down, his hands on both sides unconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes, then he took a deep breath with determination and exhaled slowly: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Jiang Cheng: "What?"

Wei WuXian gritted his teeth and spoke each word tremblingly: "Jin Dan, lead the pursuers away."

"How did you know?" Jiang Cheng sat up suddenly.

Wei WuXian: “I saw it in a fantasy world.”

"That's right." Jiang Cheng suddenly understood and leaned back on the bed: "You saw it all."

"I saw it all in the illusion, why didn't you tell me at the beginning?"

Jiang Cheng seemed to be very tired of this topic. He slowly closed his eyes and asked, "Why should I tell you?"

Wei WuXian yelled, “How would I know if you don’t tell me?”

Jiang Cheng said: "What's the use of knowing that?"

“……”Yes, there is no use knowing. It happened eight hundred years ago. Even if you know it now, what can you change?

Despite this, Wei WuXian still refused to give up and said, “Of course it works!”

Compared to Wei Wuxian's impulsiveness, Jiang Cheng, who was usually irritable and irritable, was very calm at this moment: "What's the use?"

Wei WuXian’s speech was incoherent: “If…if this matter was made clear at that time, and I knew the reason why you were turned into a pill, I…I…”

In fact, Wei Wuxian knew in his heart that even if Jiang Cheng told him about this at the time, the ending would not have changed much.

Even if Jiang Cheng didn't agree, he would still find a way to give the golden elixir to Jiang Cheng.

Even if the place to exchange the golden elixir was not in the back mountain of Yiling and he was not pushed into the mass grave by Wen Chao, he would not be content with mediocrity without the golden elixir. He had unique attainments and ideas about orbits since he was a child, so he might eventually embark on this path of no return.

After going around in circles, the result is still the same.

But even so, Wei Wuxian didn't want Jiang Cheng to hide this from him.

"Me what?" Jiang Cheng asked harshly, veins bulging on the back of his hand that was outside the quilt, "How dare you ask me why I didn't tell you? Then why didn't you tell me about the pill exchange?"

Even though Jiang Cheng's voice was hoarse now, he still shouted at the top of his lungs: "Whatever you say, just consider it as returning it to the Jiang family. Then who do you want to return it to? Do you know, Wei Wuxian?! When the Lotus Pier was destroyed and my father and mother died in front of me, I was devastated. When you were about to be discovered, I ran out to help you divert the pursuers. At that time, I was ready to die. I didn't expect you to return anything to me, but Wei Wuxian, you returned this thing to me again! Why did you give me the golden elixir?!!!"

“To die is to evade responsibility.” Wei Wuxian said, “I promised Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu that I would protect you.”

"Haha." Jiang Cheng suddenly laughed wildly: "Protect me, so that I can bear the guilt towards you for the rest of my life?!"

"You don't owe me anything, and you don't have to feel guilty."

"You have a clear conscience and can get by, but what about me? How can I get by?!"

Wei Wuxian was also very agitated now. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He himself did not want to argue so much with Jiang Cheng. After all, everyone has to look forward. Besides, the incident happened so many years ago that even if they argued again, they would not be able to reach a conclusion.

Wei WuXian said solemnly: “My not telling you about the pill exchange is the same as you not telling me about the pill being transformed.”

Indeed, both of them essentially care about each other. They are willing to consider each other and even risk their lives for each other, but they are surprisingly unanimous in not wanting to tell each other.

Jiang family motto: Do ​​something even though you know it is impossible.

What does this mean by doing something that cannot be done? Jiang Cheng knew that if he ran out to divert the pursuers, he would be in danger of death, or Wei Wuxian knew that there was only a 50% chance of changing the pill but still insisted on doing it.

Both of them were blaming the other for not telling them, but neither of them reflected on why they didn't tell the other at that time.

Jiang Cheng turned his head away abruptly and didn't look at him. Where neither of them could see, a tear silently rolled down the corner of their eyes and was buried in their clothes.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Someone knocked on the door. "Uncle, are you awake? Can I come in?"

Wei Wuxian calmly wiped away the tears from his eyes and walked over to open the door.

Jin Ling was holding a food box in his hand. He first looked inside with his head tilted to the side. Because Jiang Cheng was blocked by the curtains on the bed, Jin Ling did not see that he had gotten up. He turned his head and met Wei Wuxian's eyes and asked, "Is my uncle awake?"

Wei WuXian: “Wake up…”

Jiang Cheng, who was already smelling the aroma of food in bed, said loudly even though his voice was hoarse: "You are so old, but you are still so slow to do things. Can't you come in and see if I am awake or not?"

Jin Ling, who was used to being yelled at, pursed his lips, said "oh", and walked in.

Wei Wuxian stood at the door: "Um...Lan Zhan called me, I'll go over there and take a look." After saying that, he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Inside the house, Jin Ling brought a bowl of white, hot rice porridge: "Uncle, the doctor said that you can't eat anything too oily or spicy when you just woke up, so drink some rice porridge first."

Although Jiang Cheng doesn't like spicy food as much as Wei Wuxian, he still likes oily and meaty food. For Jiang Cheng, he can't stand eating bland porridge.

He frowned and said, "What is this? Take it away. I won't eat it."

Jin Ling: "You have to eat, your body won't be able to take it." Jin Ling coaxed his uncle to eat like he was coaxing anything else: "Eat a little first, and I'll get you whatever you want after you finish eating."

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng picked up the bowl of porridge in Jin Ling's hand, took a sip, and frowned even more. The taste of this porridge was so bland that it made people feel nauseous.

Jin Ling moved a chair and sat beside the bed, watching him eat: "Uncle, did you and Wei Wuxian have a fight?"

Jiang Cheng glanced at him sideways.

Jin Ling shuddered with fear. He was very clear about his uncle's temper, but he still wanted to know the reason, so he bravely said, "I seemed to see his eyes were red just now, as if he had been crying."

Jiang Cheng paused while drinking his porridge, and said nothing.
