[ This is a lot. This has all happened in three weeks? ]
Wei Ying.
[ He has died before. That was his choice. Coming back -- coming back in someone else's body, was not. Being driven to madness, to hatred, was not. Even becoming happy, though it is usually a good thing, was not done by his choice.
Lan Wangji wishes, more than anything, to keep Wei Ying from harm. To keep him from this stupid hotel's tricks, dragging him along by his destiny, reminding him he is just a puppet as any of the puppets they had fought.
It was unjust. It was unfair! They had finally been freed - Lan Wangji, finally having secured a position of influence to tell everyone the truth, and then wait for their insidious social sphere to do all the gossiping for them as he took off to go join Wei Ying in an adventure that was finally just their own. No longer tied to their titles of Yiling Patriarch, or of Chief Cultivator, they were free to choose their own future.
He grits his teeth, and sharply inhales his anger, before letting it go. ]
