As soon as Wei Wuxian arrived at the room, he quietly opened the door and saw that the prince was fast asleep. He quietly walked into the room and relaxed on the sofa as he stared at the sleeping prince.
To Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji is a handsome man with amazing features. The prince has such perfect features that Wei Wuxian couldn't help but stare at him. Wei Wuxian slowly admires his beauty, and he didn't realize that he had gotten quite close to his face that their lips were just a few inches apart from each other.
Before he knew it, the prince suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Wei Wuxian. Due to the shock, Wei Wuxian accidentally tripped on his own feet and fell on top of Lan Wangji chest. Both stared at each other with their lips closed apart and with both hearts thumping loudly. After a few minutes of staring, Wei Wuxian broke eye contact and quickly got up from Lan Wangji's chest.
"Haha...You are awake..." Wei Wuxian said as he scratched his neck while laughing awkwardly.
There was an awkward silence as Wei Wuxian felt embarrassed as the prince kept staring at him without saying anything. As for Lan Wangji, he was emotionless. But in his mind, he was confused as he didn't know who this man in front of him was. He wanted to get up but when he tried to get up, he got a throbbing pain in his head. Wei Wuxian sensing that Lan Wangji is feeling uneasy, quickly went to assist him up and arranged the pillow to lean on. After Wei Wuxian helped him up, there was an awkward silence. The silence was so unbearable that Wei Wuxian couldn't take it anymore.
"Wei Wuxian. Courtesy name, Wei Ying, Yunmeng Hunter Organization." Wei Wuxian said as he stretched out his hand while smiling.
Lan Wangji still didn't say anything and just stared at Wei Wuxian blankly. It would be a lie if Wei Wuxian said that he didn't feel uncomfortable with the silence that was radiating in the room. He felt fidgety and anxious as the Second Prince kept on staring at him. Once again, Wei Wuxian couldn't take the silence anymore.
"Don't you know that it's rude to stare at someone and ignore the people who are providing you a place to stay and protecting you until you regain your memories? Wei Wuxian said in a teasing tone but also with a hint of seriousness.
As soon as Wei Wuxian finished saying those words, he observed Lan Wangji's facial expression closely. If Wei Wuxian wasn't closely observing Lan Wangji, he wouldn't have noticed the expression that Lan Wangji was showing. Although it was a split second, Wei Wuxian could see that Lan Wangji's face was flooded with confusion, suspicion, and exhaustion. The minimal number of expressions relays a thousand emotions of the handsome prince enchanted Wei Wuxian to no extent, and he wants to know everything about him.
However, for Lan Wangji, he was deep in thought as if he was trying to remember something but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember anything at all.
"A place to stay? Protection? Why?" Lan Wangji asked after a while of silence.
Even though his phrases were brief, Wei Wuxian understood what he meant and what he wanted to ask.
"You are the Second Prince of Gusu Lan Vampire Clan, Lan Zhan. Your courtesy name is Lan Wangji and your royal title is Hanguang-Jun. Besides this, you are one of the Twin Jades of Lan, alongside your older brother, Lan Xichen. Your brother is the King, and his royal title is Zewu-Jun. He must have told you all this right?" Wei Wuxian said as he looked at Lan Wangji before continuing what he needed to say, who nodded his head in affirmation.
"Our headquarters received reports of unusual attacks in our territory, so we were heading to check the area where we saw you being attacked. By the time we reached you, you were already unconscious, and your attacker ran away. Since you lost your memories, you can't be taken back to the palace because those despicable vampire elders will try to brainwash you and your attacker might ambush you again. At least if you stay here, we can protect you." Wei Wuxian said as cheerful as possible to make the situation seem less serious.
Lan Wangji looked at his lap, his face looked stoic but internally he was lost. He didn't comprehend what was going on at all. Somehow Wei Wuxian didn't like such a depressing atmosphere around the prince. He knew that the prince must have felt confused and lonely. Wei Wuxian can understand his feelings as he was also like this before the Jiang family took him in as their own. When Jiang Fengmian found him and brought him back to stay with them, he didn't know where he was, what he was doing, or what his parents looked like. All he remembered was his name.
"You must be feeling confused and exhausted...After all, I know what it is like to lose part of your memories." Wei Wuxian said softly as a rueful smile appeared on his face.
This caught Lan Wangji's attention as he lifted his head and looked at Wei Wuxian, who had to curb his laughter from bubbling in his chest at the pure curiosity in the prince's deep eyes. He was like a child, so cute and innocent.
"I was around 9 or 10 when this happened. Not as many years as you but yeah. I still haven't recovered my memories and in a way I am glad. I rather forget about the days on the street and my parent's death before the Jiang family adopted me." Wei Wuxian confessed.
After hearing that,Lan Wangji's eyes widened at this information.
"Don't you want to recall the memories of your parents?" Lan Wangji asked in his deep baritone voice, void of any emotion yet comforting.
"I do. But how? Your memory would regain after some time, but I don't think mine would. Anyway, my memory has always been terrible, so it won't make a difference. Instead, let's make new memories " Wei Wuxian said as he said cheekily to end the solemn atmosphere and flashed a big grin towards Lan Wangji, only to receive a small upturn of lips from the prince that stole his breath away. Wei Wuxian was stunned by that smile on his handsome face, and he felt his face heat up.
"Mn. Let's make new memories." Lan Wangji said softly as Wei Wuxian flashed him a smile so bright that it could rival the sun.
A comfortable silence soon settled over as Wei Wuxian kept on talking while the prince listened quietly with a fond expression.
