Lan Wangji

Evening. The sky had been overcast all day, blocking out the bright sunlight. It only cleared up towards evening, and Lan Wangji watched the sunset from Jingshi's window. The scholar's four treasures were neatly laid out on the table. An unrolled scroll with a portrait lay in the center of the table. Lan Wangji lowered his heavy gaze to the image of a young man on it. In three days, this omega would become his husband. The mere thought of it brought a multitude of emotions to the surface, none of which were reflected on Lan Wangji's face. He felt sorry for Wei Wuxian, angry at him, upset and confused that their families had taken away their choice from both of them. But he can't go against the clan's choice. Especially since both Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian expressed protest, but no one took it into account. Lan Wangji closed his eyes wearily. It was approaching lights out. He stood up and carefully rolled up the scroll, setting it aside. Lan Wangji will try to talk to Wei Wuxian about a non-conjugal arrangement. He would have suggested it sooner if Wei Wuxian hadn't been constantly walking out of meetings. Soon their lives will change irrevocably... Everything had already been decided, and there was no point in protesting or regretting any more.
