[ Xichen is definitely not used to this kind of sweetness, especially not to celebrate the day of birth, but it is what his precious little brother has brought him, so of course he will partake - and share the rest.
The gifts bring a small hint of an almost smile, and, holding one of the ceramic figures in long fingers, he cups his hands and salutes his brother. ]
[Thankfully, it was one cake and there's enough for all. Jingyi can be so thoughtful to buy so many cakes for his own birthday. Lan Wangji smiles back, a rare occurrence. He is happy when his brother is happy. For once, they can enjoy the peace without a single incident.
With a hum of approval.]
Mn. I thought you might like them. You're welcome.
[ Jingyi is still at an age where new things are easily adopted and sugar highs are welcome... but that's all right. Xichen is almost more indulgent with his adoptive son than with his brother.
Almost.
He tilts his head slightly. ]
Have you... calmed down yet, after what transpired over the last weeks?
[Considering what happened with Wei Ying is gone in that world and everybody came back? That's like experiencing 16 years, but condensed. Well, not everyone. Shijie is gone while they're away. At least, with cake and Wei Ying returned, some sweetness in their life has returned. Slowly, but surely.]
Mn? It was tiring. I remembered everything. Wei Ying did not. It's for the best not to mention anything.
But Wei Ying is aware his shijie is gone and he wants to be alone for the most part.
[ Xichen almost opens his mouth to point out that, regardless of words, unlike Wangji, young master Wei is likely to be more hurt than aided by solitude...
Then he remembers, between the two of them, who has the better judgment about people. He lowers his eyes. ]
You are most likely to know best what he need. Only... if it becomes too difficult for him, try to remind him that she may yet return again. The way you did, and he did, and young sect leader Jin. In this place, little seems impossible.

Thank you, Wangji. These are beautiful.

I'll remind him. For now, he requests a distraction. [Understably] So, he's going back to work and I'll remind him that he has a home here with us.
In the meantime, I will learn the recipes she left behind.
