When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

It feels like there is something hidden lurking in the dark, making people feel vaguely uneasy.

It was in this situation that Wei Wuxian suddenly felt that what Jin Ling said today seemed to be right. Jiang Cheng really seemed to be possessed by some demon or monster at this moment.

Otherwise why would they specially call him over to play stare-eyed games.

Not knowing what Jiang Cheng was thinking, Wei Wuxian felt strange but hesitated for a moment before sitting across the table from him.

As soon as he saw Wei Wuxian sitting down, Jiang Cheng directly picked up the teacup, poured a cup of tea, and drank it without saying a word.

Then he pushed the cup and teapot towards Wei Wuxian.

"..."

Wei WuXian was a little confused about what he was going to do, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

What's the point of pushing the teapot and the teacup over together? It's just pouring tea. Wei Wuxian picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea without waiting for him to drink the tea or do anything else.

Jiang Cheng had already reached out and snatched back the cup of tea, then drank all the tea that Wei Wuxian had poured.

Wei Wuxian: “…”

After finishing the tea, Jiang Cheng dropped the cup heavily on the table and closed his eyes.

Wei Wuxian: “…” What does Jiang Cheng mean by this? Weird? What kind of epilepsy is this?

After drinking the tea, Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, then opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

Wei Wuxian: “…”

For some reason, after Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and opened them again, his face, which had just finished drinking the cup of tea, was visibly relaxed.

It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. What's the reason?

Without waiting for Wei WuXian to think about it, Jiang Cheng asked calmly, "What do you want to see me for?"

...Wei WuXian was even more confused. I was looking for you? It was you who called me here, right?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, and seeming to see the confusion in Wei Wuxian's expression, Jiang Cheng said, "One month ago, the night before my father's birthday."

When he said that, Wei Wuxian understood. Since Jiang Cheng knew he was coming to find him, why didn’t he come out at that time? Combined with his behavior over the past few days, Wei Wuxian was sure that Jiang Cheng was indeed avoiding him. So what was he doing now...

After realizing this, Wei Wuxian still remained silent. Jiang Cheng's question now made Wei Wuxian forget what words he had organized in the first place.

In silence, their eyes met in the air, but both sides seemed to feel inexplicably guilty about something and looked away.

Wei WuXian opened his lips, and when the words came to his lips, he knew something very clearly, but he couldn't move his mouth and couldn't organize his words well.

Jiang Cheng clenched his fists.

After a while, Wei WuXian said, “What can I do? Of course… I came to chat and drink with you. What do you think I came to you for?”

When Wei WuXian said this, there was a pause and urgency in his words that should be present when telling a lie.

There are so many mistakes and omissions that you can tell it's a lie as soon as you hear it.

However, such an obvious lie actually made Jiang Cheng's clenched hands loosen up.

Jiang Cheng picked up the cup and drank the last drop of water in it. Then he looked aside and said, "I was... that night dealing with files sent by others... so you didn't wait for me."

The flaw in Jiang Cheng's words was just as serious as Wei Wuxian's just now.

Wei Wuxian naturally knew that he was lying, but it seemed that this lie did not need to be exposed.

Wei Wuxian poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, as if he was hiding something.

Jiang Cheng also drank his tea in silence like him.

Wei Wuxian believed that Jiang Cheng must know what he came to talk to him about that night, so he hid that night because he didn't want to discuss this matter with him.

Or maybe I don’t know how to face it.

So at this point, both of them knew everything.

I know you know, you know I'm pretending.

You know I know, I know you are pretending.

Everyone knew each other and was pretending not to know, but they also pretended not to know that each other knew.

Ever since Wei WuXian didn't tell the truth just now, the two of them seemed to have reached an invisible agreement.

Suddenly Wei Wuxian understood that perhaps Jiang Cheng had the same mentality as him. Although he knew everything about the past, these things could already be regarded as a thing of the past.

In today's time, these past events are like a big dream and have nothing to do with the current world.

Although a dream leaves traces in your heart after you wake up, a dream is a dream. If you can pick it up, you should be able to let it go. The past is like smoke, so you should let it drift away with the wind.

But, Wei Wuxian looked at the tea swirling in his palm and thought: Can the past really disappear like smoke?

As soon as Wei Wuxian finished thinking about this, he suddenly heard a crisp sound coming from outside the door.

"Ouch!"

The two of them immediately came back to their senses, and Wei WuXian asked, “Who?”

After he finished speaking, Wen Yuan was the first to stand up with his hands behind his back, followed by Lan Jingyi, and then Jin Ling.

Jin Ling patted the dirt off his body, and some of it fell off, but a large area of ​​his bright yellow robe turned dark yellow, obviously wet by something.

The dirt on the wet area could not be wiped off, and it became darker and darker. Jin Ling looked a little embarrassed, probably because he got it all over himself when he came here to steal things just now.

Jin Ling frowned and rubbed his elbows and collarbones.

Wei WuXian asked, “You three are sneaking around like that. What are you trying to eavesdrop on outside?”

Lan Jingyi smiled and took his hands out from behind his back and said, "Of course we didn't mean to eavesdrop on anything, Senior Wei, Sect Leader Jiang, we just thought that with such a nice day and such a nice night, is there anything that can't be solved with a jar of wine?"

Wen Yuan also took out his hands from behind his back and said, "Master, if one jar doesn't work, then two jars."

Jin Ling took out the red rope in his hand, which was the rope for lifting the wine jar: "The third jar is broken."

Wei Wuxian: “…”

Jiang Cheng: "..."

Just now after the banquet ended, these three people noticed that Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng went out together. Jin Ling talked about something with Lan Jingyi and Wen Yuan, and then the three of them took a few jars of wine at the banquet and followed them.

Just now, three people were leaning on the door frame in a row, listening to the two people talking inside. Then Jin Ling was at the bottom. He leaned on the door frame for a tenth of a second and suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

What on earth are these three kids doing? Wei WuXian held his forehead slightly.
