[ He realizes a bit late that this might not be an easy tale for Lan Xichen to tell. But the story still comes out, leaves him motionless, staring with eyes growing wider as each point and parallel is set before him.
Finally Wuxian can't stay sitting still, pushes himself to his feet to start pacing. But doesn't interrupt.
And when Xichen tells him that last little bombshell, he almost stumbles. ]
... not unless you choose him, in turn. He would not repeat our father's mistakes.
[ This much, Xichen knows. There is not nor will there ever be anyone else for Wangji. But he will never put his wishes above those of young master Wei. Especially not when he believes it is unrequited.
Just like their father's feelings. ]
He... these years, he has been referring to you as his lifetime confidant. He would share your path with you.

No. I know he wouldn't force me.
[ Even without the countless opportunities Lan Wangji's had to do just that.
Even with this information, he trusts Lan Zhan above all others, even himself.
He absently rubs at the side of his head, listening to the rest but no longer quite able to look at Lan Xichen.
It's a lot to think about. A lot to learn all at once.
He shakes his head again and takes a careful breath before turning to face Xichen, then bows formally, hands cupping in front of him. ]
Thank you, Zewu-Jun.

Young master Wei. It was a pleasure to have you here. And... please, try to allow yourself to rest.

You should too.
