        "Young Master Wei, today, in this ancestral hall, with the presence of all the sect leaders, I formally announce that I, Lan Wangji dissolve the engagement with Wei Wuxian and that I no longer have any affairs with the Wei family."

         Silence. Pin drop silence. It wasn't because they were afraid to speak, it was because they were too shocked speak. How could they not be? The whole cultivational world knew how lovey dovey these two were even before their marriage. There had not been a single time when they had spotted them alone. Somehow or anyhow they had always sticked around together. And now, Lan Wangji declaring such a thing.....

         "Lan Wangji, you cannot do this to my brother." Xue Yang said with clenched teeth.
         "My life choices are my own. It has nothing to do with anyone."
        Rumors said that it was better to keep shut than greet the second jade of Lan. And now everyone clearly understood the reason. Seems like Bichen is not the only blade second jade had.
        "Lan Wangji... I will remember this." Xue Yang spat back.
         Lan Wangji shrugged it off in his own way. He then turned back to Wei Wuxian and said,
          "Young Master Wei, can I have the Gusu Lan's ribbon back?"

           Wei Wuxian wasn't in a state to form any coherent sentence. He couldn't even make out the words of Lan Wangji. "L...Lan Zhan... What did Lan Zhan say just n..now?
H..he said that... that he is going to d...dissolve the e..engagement, r.. right? N..no. Lan Zhan w...will never do t..that. He wi..will never d..do that to m..me..."
          "Young Master Wei.." Lan Wangji called out again.
          Wei Wuxian came back to reality. So... He hadn't misheard. H..he had heard it right! Which meant that.......
          Wei Wuxian looked up at Lan Wangji.
           The eyes that always soften just with a glimpse of him was now glaring daggers at him. The lips that always find its way upwards with just a glimpse of him was now not showing any movements for a smile at all. Realization dawned upon him. His Lan Zhan no longer... Loved him!

          "L...Lan Zhan..." He called weakly.
          Lan Wangji did not respond. There was not even a slightest twitch in his eyes.
        "Lan Zhan.." Wei Wuxian called out again, but a little more firmer. He knew he was going to break down in tears sooner or later. But he would try to convince the other before it. At least he could save his mother.
          "Lan Zhan, I know that you are upset. You are sad and confused because of the.... unexpected and sudden turn of events. I know very well that you cannot think straight now. You are devastated.. So Lan Zhan pl..please don't take any decisions rashly. Please L..Lan Zhan.... I.... beg you.."
         His voice cracked at the end. He couldn't hide tears any longer. But he couldn't care any less either.
         "Young Master Wei, you are correct. I cannot think straight now. So I had already given myself time. I didn't make this decision rashly. I have made this decision after considering it for a week. So.."
        "Lan Zhan, wait.. listen to..."
       "I hate you." Lan said emotionless.
        Just by hearing it, Wei Ying's world came crashing down. But still he tried to keep his composure.
        "L...Lan Zhan, you don't have to like me. You don't have to care for me. Y..you can be the way you want. J...Just let me care for you. Let me show you what happiness is. Let me accompany you through your highs and the lows. Let me give my world to you. J...just let me love you..? Huh....? Can you let me do that? Please Lan Zhan...!"
          He sounded hoarse due to crying. But who cares for he was about to lose the love of his life!
          His Lan Zhan no longer needed him. His Lan Zhan no longer cared for him. His Lan Zhan no longer adored him. His Lan Zhan no longer....no longer loved him!
          Tears welled up more in his eyes. He couldn't cease the tears from flowing down his cheeks. He couldn't help but show his vulnerability to Lan Zhan. His Lan Zhan!

         Why does life has to be so cruel? He was more than happy a day ago and now..... Now his Lan Zhan no longer needed him!

          "Young Master Wei, can I have the Gusu Lan's ribbon back?"
         "A..ah..?" Wei Wuxian asked.
         "Lan Wangji, don't you dare!"    Xue Yang said once again through his clenched teeth.
         But Lan Wangji refused to acknowledge his presence. Xue Yang gritted his teeth. 'Lan Wangji will not get away with this..,' he thought.
        Wei Wuxian couldn't believe what he was hearing. He glanced down at his hand. There was it. The Gusu Lan's ribbon. The proof that he was engaged to one of the sect heir. He remembered the first time Lan Wangji put it on him.

         It was a nice evening.
        Wei Wuxian had once again visited Cloud Recesses with his family. Well, Xue Yang had been dragged. However, for the dinner, Wei Wuxian along with his mother and his little brother had joined Lan Wangji and his family.
           Wei Wuxian sat beside Lan Wangji and was giggling the whole time. Lan Qiren had done his best to not qi deviate. But it was impossible.
Luck wasn't at his side.
         Because after everyone had eaten their dinner, Lan Wangji spoke,
          "I wish to say something."
         "Go on A-Zhan, your mom is all ears." Madam Lan said giggling.
Lan Wangji gave his reserved smile for her and said with red ears,
         "I.. I have been thinking for some time and have finally decided."
         "What is it, Wangji?" Lan Xichen asked.
         "Lan Zhan....," Wei Wuxian whined, "tell fast.. my curiosity kills me. But don't worry, I will be alive for you no matter what." He winked.
          Lan Wangji looked straight at Wei Wuxian and said,
         "I have decided that I am going to get engage with Wei Ying."
          "What.....!" Everyone said in unison but with different facial expressions. If it was any other time, Wei Wuxian would have laughed at Lan Qiren's expression but now... he himself was astonished.
         Madam Lan was the first to recover from the surprise.
         "A-Zhan, finally... I have been waiting for this since a very long time."
        "Thank you, moth...." He was stopped halfway by Cangse Sanren.
        "Oh my god..! My son is getting engaged. I didn't know that this arrangement would become official so soon. I am so happy..."
        "Congratulations, Wangji. May you be blessed with happiness alongside Wei Wuxian!" Lan Xichen said as the best brother he was.
        "I am glad." Qinheng Jun simply stated but Lan Wangji knew better. His father meant those words.
        "Wow.. it's awesome. Finally I can have a peaceful life without being dragged to Cloud Recesses every once in a week. Bro.. you gotta grab this chance. That way you could be beside your beloved anytime, anywhere and anyhow. Bro..."
          Due to the over excitement and astonishment, everyone had forgot Wei Wuxian who was also the other main figure except Lan Wangji and Lan Qiren. Lan Wangji couldn't simply forget him but as for Lan Qiren... Well, he was still in a trance.

         Wei Wuxian sat there mouth gaping. He had long forgotten everything. All he could remember was, 'I wish to get engage with Wei Ying.' Lan Wangji hadn't meant that probably. 'Yeah he might be joking.'
Wei Wuxian felt a tingling sensation on his wrist. He glanced down. 'Oh my GOD...!!' His breath hitched and it felt as if his soul had left him.

         Lan Wangji and everyone else knew that Wei Wuxian was probably in the wonderland. Everyone except for Lan Wangji didn't care.
         Lan Wangji swiftly removed his forehead ribbon and tied it on Wei Wuxian's wrist. It felt so right and perfect. His ribbon suited more on Wei Wuxian's wrist than his forehead. He felt so happy and warm that he couldn't help but place a light kiss on Wei Wuxian's wrist. He carressed the ribbon with his thumb. Oh... How has he longed for this..!

          Wei Wuxian came back to himself only when Lan Wangji placed a kiss on him. He shuddered. And it was only then he noticed the ribbon on his wrist. His eyes widened. 'It couldn't be that...' He looked up at Lan Wangji. There was no ribbon on Lan Wangji's forehead. Which meant that...
           "Lan Zhan...." Wei Wuxian sprang towards Lan Wangji, his arm hooked around the other's neck and sat on the other's lap. He couldn't stop his tears and he didn't want to. He hid his face on the crook of the other's neck and cried. Cried his heart out. He only stopped when.....
         "Y..you, get.. get off my nephew." Lan Qiren barked.
          "Uncle...," Wangji began but was stopped.
          "Wangji, you are only sixteen. You are still not in the age to get engaged. And what if you change your decision after some time? It would be too late if you are engaged now."
         "Uncle, Wangji understands your concerns. But I am sure that I will not change my decision about Wei Ying or anything related to him." And then he turned towards Wei Wuxian who had now come out of his hiding place, "Wei Ying, although we have been together literally since our childhood and you understand me much more than I understand myself, I still feel that I should say this. There was not a single minute where I had been sad while you were beside me. In fact, I have always longed for your presence beside me. You make me feel contented. You make me feel things that no one else can. You make me happy with every small things you do. Your smile makes me blinded. Your..." Wei Wuxian covered his mouth by his hand.
Lan Wangji panicked. Had he said something wrong? He took the hand that covered his mouth and held it firmly by his.
        "Wei Ying, I am sorry if I said something wrong. I am not very good with words. But I promise..."
          "No, Lan Zhan," Wei Wuxian interrupted. "Nothing of that sort. But I think it is enough. You don't have to say anymore. I know everything. And although I am very good with words, I am not going to say anything except, 'A relationship is built by love not by words.' With that he placed a kiss on the other's forehead where the ribbon used to be.
        "Y...you two.." Lan Qiren began but Lan Xichen interfered,
       "Uncle, it's late. I'll take you to your room."
       With that all of them retired, except for two. And it was none other than Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian.
        "Lan Zhan, good night."
        " Mn. Good night. Sleep well." He kissed one last time at the other's forehead and then they retired for the night.

        "Young Master Wei.."
        "Y..yes...."
         Lan Wangji had enough. He lost his patience. He looked at the Gusu Lan disciples who were behind him. He signaled them. They understood.
         Two of the disciples knelt around Wei Wuxian and took his hand. Wei Wuxian's eyes widened in horror as realization dawned upon him. They were forcefully going to remove it from him! No!

"No.......!! Stop it....!"
