[ somewhere, wei wuxian takes a breath.

and then he just says it. ]

jiang cheng, i still see you as my brother and i want you to take care of yourself and be well. if i were there, i would make sure you were fed and slept soundly. but i am not so i can only hope you do what is best for you regardless.

[ And then silence. ]

[suibian]

i know. i owe jiang cheng many apologies but my heart is still yours

[fennu]

Why are you saying this now? Idiot!

[fennu]

Both! Neither!

[suibian]

i'm sorry

[fennu]

Are you? Really?

[suibian]

yes. i know lotus pier isn't my home anymore but if i could have jiang cheng even like this, i would be happy

[fennu]

Then why do you stay so far away?

[suibian]

[ that actually gives wei wuxian pause so give him a long moment before — ]

i thought i wasn't welcome in yunmeng?

[fennu]

[suibian]

jiang cheng. if you're being honest, i'll come home right now

[suibian]

i didn't say you were a liar. i just wasn't sure if you really meant it

[fennu]

Isn't that the same thing?
