Xichen was writing on scrolls in elegant calligraphy that night, only a lone candle lighting her room. She paused the moment she heard the thud, getting up quickly as she hurried out of her room and slid open the door. What could be causing such noise? "Lan Yichen?"

//Charlie! I always think you're fantastic!! I will admit the space here is a bit different, perhaps quiet at times, but I don't think that's a testament to your skills. You're a great writer and I love plotting with you 🥺

Seeing her mother's gentleness with the rabbits made her expression soften. After all, they had to get their affection for the animals from somewhere. "A mother bunny, while you were pregnant with me? Mm... It must've been lovely... Two mothers, two different species but linked by nature..."

It was not that she didn't trust her mother, she was just so accustomed to one way of thinking and feeling. Still, that didn't stop her from feeling some guilt. "It's been... Troublesome, at times, but the most important thing is that Wangji is able to live the way he wishes to."

*Her eyebrow rose slightly, her eyes meeting his as her expression shifted to gentle concern.* A-Yao, did something happen? Is everything okay?

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

*She was used to the micro expressions of her brother that catching the slight hitch in his was as easy for her as breathing. She didn't overtly say that she noticed, but she did raise her eyebrow slightly with a knowing smile.* This one understands, though A-Yao mustn't forget that he has support.

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

*Her expression is gentle. Passive, even, as she laughed off his words.* Sect Leader Nie means well. *She wouldn't continue her sentence, even though it felt like it ended rather abruptly.* And you, A-Yao. Are you alright? How are you holding up?

Xichen was... Well, she was out of her element. She was never one to pour out her heart to anyone. Instead, she was often the shoulder that was leant. To have someone listen, to have that someone be her own mother, was... Well, it was just a bit too much. "I... Have been fine." So she defaults.

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

"Xue Yang." Her tongue was sharp as she glared at him directly. "I'm done playing your games. We've been over this before, have we not?"

She had felt a faint hint of nervousness upon the sight of the rabbit, knowing it was breaking sect rules to host the little creatures, but how could she refuse? Not only were they helplessly adorable, they were Wangji's favorite. "I agree, Mother... They're quite docile, too."

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

"Why would I not be?" Her answer was so simple, so blunt. Although she answered with a question of her own, the words said it all. As did that ever so gentle expression, which had not left her face since he approached. "I see no reason to abstain from meeting with a fellow Sect Leader."

- hearing a faint rustling, peaking through the leaves at a little bunny that munched away at one of the plants. "... It seems we have a visitor."

"I did." Lan Xichen knew of her mother's reputation, perhaps a bit better than Wangji did considering she was a bit older than he was at the time. That didn't stop her from treating her mother as respectfully as possible. "I found these plants grow best in the cold climate-" She stopped upon -

She paused at her mother's reminder, that slight haze clearing from her eyes. Of course what had been instilled in her from birth would be second nature, but since her mother had been gone for so long, she simply defaulted to what she knew. "I have been well. The weather is warming a bit."

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

She doesn't hear any argument, setting her hand gently on his arm to guide him over to sit at the table with her. After steeping some jasmine tea leaves, she gracefully poured them both a cup, their surroundings peacefully quiet.

Pulling her skirt beneath her legs, she sat down beside her mother in perfect uniform fashion. Ever the pinnacle of elegance, as a good Gusu Lan clan member should be. "Thank you, mother."

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

"Have you not been resting?" Lan Xichen questioned, meeting his gaze with a gentle look of concern. "Sect Leader Jiang, with all due respect, no leader can function on lack of rest. Come, sit. Join me for tea. If you need aid, you only need to send a message."

110

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Seeing her mother's reaction, her expression softened as she retracted. "I did not intend to startle you, Mother. My apologies. I wanted to recommend that you get some rest in a proper bed."

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

If anyone questioned her mother's presence, then they would have to answer to the Sect Leader herself. Lan Xichen was eager to show the renovated Cloud Recesses, which had been reconstructed and updated since the Wen attack. "And this is the gardens, my personal achievement." She proudly stated.

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

Her expression immediately soured, before she schooled it carefully into a calm stone faced look. "Release him. Now."

"You know I have better things to do with my time." Xichen said softly, flipping her sleeves before his comment caught her off guard. A few blinks was all it took as she tried to school her expression back into a neutral one. "... I wasn't aware of such a thing, either."

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Raises her eyebrow, meeting his gaze. "So, we meet again, Xue Yang."

I hope Wangji has been holding up well. I haven't heard from him in a while.

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Her expression shifted to one of gratitude, and she squeezed her mother's hand in reciprocity. "I've missed you terribly, mother. Let's not dwell on the troubles of the past and enjoy the moment, shall we? Cloud recesses has changed so much, I can't wait to show you."

000

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

She didn't question his lingering hold, remaining there with a kind smile for as long as he held on. "I am, thank you for asking. Things at Gusu have been calm, thankfully. How is everything at Lotus Pier? I heard your efforts have paid off." She smiled, retracting her hand when he let go.

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

"That's..." Xichen couldn't argue with her. After all, she understood where her mother came from so she instead fell quiet. It was with a contemplative sigh that Xichen met her mother's eyes. "I know, but I'm a grown woman. I have you back, and it's my turn to make sure you're alright now."

000

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

She smiled faintly at him, her gentle gaze admiring his shy expression. There was always that aura of polite kindness that radiated from her smile, even now. "Always the gentleman. It's good to see you, Sect Leader Jiang."

110

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Hesitance was clear in her expression, before she smiled weakly. "It seems... True happiness continues to evade... But I will be fine, Muqin. I promise you, there is no need to worry yourself for my sake."

000

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

She bit her lip, her eyebrows furrowing briefly before she looked at her mother. "I know. That... is the life that Wangji can live now. He's... He's happy. He's found a partner, and he lives as he chooses." Her smile became a touch more genuine for a moment. "... It was worth it for that reason."

000

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Xichen composed herself carefully, making sure her mother did not witness her tear streaked face as she carefully cleaned her skin. "Mn... It is unseemly to appear before you in such a way. This is... This is a happy occasion, you're here a-and alive, and that is worth celebrating."

010

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Xichen never would let anyone witness her in such a state. Always an unshakable monolith of perfection, she served the Lan clan with immovable grace. Yet now, before her own mother, she was weak. She cried helplessly, clinging to her robes without a word spoken or a noise uttered.

000

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Xichen didn't know how to respond, other than to silently break down into her mother's robes. She carried so much weight of expectation and grief with her all because she had nowhere to put it down. So now... Now that she had her Mom... Xichen broke.

000

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Xichen was an expert on hiding her true feelings, but only her mother could ever see through her. It was something she deeply missed, being so understood by anyone. A sigh passed her lips as she closed her eyes. No use in lying now. "... It's just a bit tiring." She muttered. "That's all."

000

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

She nodded slowly, her eyebrows furrowing as her lips even pursed. In truth, Xichen was lying, even if that was against the rules. She didn't know if she was happy or if she ever truly would be. But at least... At least Wangji could live the life he desired. That would be enough. "Mm..."

000

𝑭𝒆𝒎! 𝑳𝒂𝒏 𝑿𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏 @firstjadeofgusu.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Xichen knew only the rules, for keeping appearances was her duty to ensure respect for both herself and her brother. Yet, before her mother, she felt her resolve breaking the second her arms surrounded her. "I... I'm Sect Leader now... I did everything I could to be someone you could be proud of."
