[ Out there that night in the rain, on a horse, his flute held out, ready to surrender. As long as it would buy the others some time, he was ready to fight Lan Wangji. He was ready to die by his hand, just to give them a headstart.
He'd been reckless before, he'd stood his ground, he'd been a troublemaker, yes. But that night, he asked for death knowing that Lan Wangji would have granted it to him.
And that was when he really understood, that he both loved this man, and he was ready to accept it, but also ready to accept that it was too late to tell him, that he needed to let him go. ]
It was your conviction to do what was right.
You upheld our promise.
[ And so, what else could an honorable man like Lan Wangji do but match him in the same? ]
