"You will eventually," he says sadly. "You'll grow old and you'll die and I'll be just as you see me now. It's been this way for thousands of years."
Wei Ying's become an expert at losing Lan Zhan. Not so much with keeping him by his side for eternity.
"I've lost you more times than I can recall. Our times together have been so brief.... yet they would seem like forever to a mortal."
But short-lived as they were, they'd been the happiest times of his life. Wei Ying hadn't been alone; he'd been loved.
"But life is always so good when I am with you. When I'm with you, I almost feel human again. I'll never turn you away no matter how much it hurts to let you go. You're worth it."
Here he goes again, spouting emotional nonsense like a lovesick fool but it's how he's always been when it comes to Lan Zhan. Most of the wisdom and sense he's accumulated over the years goes out the window like it never existed in the first place.
