But every thought left him when he heard the noise. His mind was telling him everything was fine, but his gut was telling him something was wrong. He peeked in, heart beating against his chest "A-Xuan?" He said in a pathetic voice "Is everything alright?"
There was no need to worry; AFX was a talented cultivator in his own right. But he was also his only friend and it was only right for him to be worried about his only friend. If something did happen to him, then he knew that he did not have the power to stop it.
What if AFX ran into Lan Wangji. His head and chest began to ache at the thought and he pressed his forehead against the wall. He wanted to believe in AFX, but the thoughts that came to his mind, memories that flooded back in at just a single thought.

It took a moment before he returned the embrace, his mind finally realizing what was happening, that he was being loved and cared about. Tears leaked down his cheeks and landed on AFX's shoulder
He pulls the other man into an embrace, speaking softly.
“You’re precious to me. Don’t forget that and don’t let anything—or anyone—convince you otherwise, okay?”
Well, it should be known by now that A-Xian is the exact opposite of what Minshan is ‘used to’.
“Yes, but I really *𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵* want to make the life of someone I care about more difficult entirely for my own gain...”
Blink, blink.
“I think it’s more important to make sure *𝘺𝘰𝘶* are certain that you want this. I don’t want you to feel like you have to go through something difficult just for my sake.”
