The Untamed: Wei Wuxian Reborn as a Child
Chapter 38: Lovesickness in Gusu
The days after the Lunar New Year were particularly deserted. Wei Wuxian's yearning for Lan Wangji grew stronger in the silence that followed him day after day, like an unstoppable tide.
Finally, one sunny morning, Wei Wuxian could no longer suppress his desire. Dressed in black, holding a jade flute, he leaped onto Suibian and flew off on his sword towards the Gusu Lan Clan.
The wind whistled in his ears, but Wei Wuxian's anxiety grew. Before long, the Gusu Lan Clan's Cloud Recesses were right before his eyes.
However, when he arrived at the mountain gate, the disciple guarding the gate stopped him with a vigilant look on his face.
"Who is coming?" The gatekeeper disciple held his sword in front of him with a serious expression.
Wei Wuxian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the gatekeeper didn't recognize him.
"I am Wei Wuxian from the Yiling Wei clan, and I'm here to look for Lan Wangji." He raised his chin and said eagerly.
"No one is allowed to enter without a visiting card." The disciple guarding the gate remained unmoved and remained firm in his attitude.
Wei Wuxian frowned, feeling extremely anxious.
"Your Second Young Master Lan and I are close friends. Please let me in immediately."
But the gatekeeper disciple remained unmoved and strictly abided by the rules of the sect.
Wei WuXian had no choice but to ask the gatekeeper to go and report.
As he waited, Wei Wuxian felt a surge of frustration. He had come a thousand miles to get here, only to be stopped at the door. The person he wanted to see was so close, yet he couldn't see her right away.
Finally, the disciple who had reported the arrival returned and respectfully invited Wei Wuxian in.
Wei Wuxian walked quickly into the Cloud Recesses, passed through the familiar paths and courtyards, and arrived at Lan Wangji's residence.
Lan Wangji was sitting at the desk. When he saw Wei Wuxian come in, he was startled at first, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Lan Zhan!" Wei Wuxian rushed over, his eyes full of grievance.
Lan Wangji stood up and gently took Wei Wuxian's hand.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?" Lan Wangji's voice was gentle and concerned.
Wei WuXian curled his lips, "I missed you so much, but who knew the gatekeeper wouldn't recognize me and wouldn't let me in."
Lan Wangji sighed softly and pulled Wei Wuxian into a hug.
"It was my negligence that caused you to suffer."
Wei Wuxian leaned on Lan Wangji's arms, and all his grievances disappeared in an instant, leaving only a heart full of joy.
Lan Wangji gently patted Wei Wuxian's back, his voice soft and childish, "Wei Ying, I think of you every day, too."
Wei Wuxian raised his head, tears glistening in his eyes, yet smiling: "Lan Zhan, you are not allowed to ignore me from now on."
Lan Wangji nodded solemnly: "No."
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. It turned out to be Lan Qingheng coming over.
"Wangji, Wuxian, what are you doing here?" Lan Qingheng looked at the two people hugging each other tightly, his eyes full of confusion.
Wei Wuxian awkwardly pulled himself out of Lan Wangji's embrace, scratching his head and saying, "Qingheng-jun, I missed Lan Zhan so much that I came here."
Lan Qingheng smiled slightly: "It's rare that Wuxian misses me so deeply."
Lan Wangji's face flushed slightly, and he whispered, "Father, Wei Ying..."
Lan Qingheng waved his hand: "Forget it, since you are here, you can stay in the Cloud Recesses for a few more days."
Upon hearing this, Wei WuXian jumped up excitedly, "Great!"
In the following days, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were inseparable. Together they caught cicadas in the mountains, played in the stream, and practiced calligraphy in the study.
That afternoon, the sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, and Wei Wuxian pulled Lan Wangji under a big tree.
"Lan Zhan, how about we have a tree climbing competition?" Wei Wuxian suggested with a blink of an eye.
Lan Wangji frowned slightly: "Not decent."
"Hey, don't be so old-fashioned. Let's try it this time." Wei Wuxian said as he started to climb up using his hands and feet.
Lan Wangji had no choice but to watch him climb up.
Just when the two were having a great time, Lan Qiren suddenly appeared.
"How disgraceful, you two!" Lan Qiren was so angry that his beard began to tremble.
Wei Wuxian hurried down from the tree and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
"Wei Wuxian, why don't you stay in the Wei family and come to the Cloud Recesses to cause trouble!" Lan Qiren shouted angrily.
Wei Wuxian muttered quietly, "I just want to play with Lan Zhan."
Lan Wangji stepped forward and said, "Uncle, it was me who wanted to be with Wei Ying. I don't blame him."
Lan Qiren looked at the two children and finally shook his head helplessly: "Wangji, the family rules cannot be abolished. The family rules must be repeated fifty times."
"Wangji, accept the punishment." Lan Wangji bowed to Lan Qiren and turned back to his room to copy the family rules.
Wei Wuxian looked at his departing back, feeling somewhat guilty.
“Master Wei, you don’t have to blame yourself too much. That’s just Wangji’s personality.” Lan Qiren said slowly.
"I know, Mr. Lan. I will never let Lan Zhan be punished again next time." Wei Wuxian said solemnly.
Lan Qiren glanced at him and couldn't help but sigh. The bond between these two children might have already transcended ordinary brotherhood. He hoped they could always maintain this innocence and kindness.
Since then, the friendship between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji has grown deeper and deeper, and they have left many beautiful memories in the Cloud Recesses.
