Chapter Text
Wei Ying loves his current life with his dear husband and son. Even though in the past he did many mistakes, he doesn’t care about overthinging them now when he is finally happy.
But one day when Lan Wangji was busy with documents, Wei Wuxian was looking through old raports from disciples out of boredom.
He looked through them, not really paying attention to the names until something caught his attention. That was a very old report that looked quite messy but what Wei YIng found unusuall was handwriting- it was far too similair to his own one. He immediently looked at the date an found out it was around 40 years ago. Wei Ying's heart immediently started beating faster. With sweaty hands he ran to where Lan Zhan was currently sitting peacefully with focused expression.
"Lan Zhan! Lan Zhan! You're never gonna believe what i found among old reports!" Wei Ying said exited and literaly fell to the ground, not caring about the pain in his knees "Look! This report is from over 40 years in the past!"
Lan Zhan stood up and firstly began examining Wei Ying's knees. Wei Ying just huffed, clearly too inpatient to wait even a second longer.
"Lan Zhan! I'm serious! Stop examining my knees and look!"
Lan Wangji just sighed, mentally noting to finish his work as well as examination once Wei Ying calms down. He changes his position and takes the report from Wei Ying. When Lan Zhan saw the characteristic handwriting, he immediently understood Wei Ying's emotional reaction it.
"Yes, Lan Zhan! It is! It's my mom's report! Lan Zhan... I'm so happy, finally after so many years I can get to know my mom even just a little bit...!" As be talked, tears quickly followed, warning upcoming crack in his voice.
Wei Ying quickly swallowed a sob and threw himself on Lan Zhan, hugging him tighter than ever before.
Lan Zhan began stroking his back to give to Wei Ying some comfort.
"I know! Why don't you help me search through the library and see if there is possible any other report that was written by my mom? And hey, there's also a chance to possibly find one from my dad!" Wei Ying drags Lan Zhan after him, eager to see even one more report if possible.

"Here, here! Lan Zhan, look! I found another report from my mom and there's some weird talismans she found on a nighthunt!" Lan Zhan calmly stood up and went to see Wei Ying's discovery.
"Do you recognize it?" Wei Ying quickly asks when as soon as Lan Zhan looked at the talismans and narrowed his eyebrows. But Lan Zhan shook his head apologetically.
Wei Ying sighed and looked at the report again to see if there is any hint what might it be used for.
"Wei Ying, it's time for bed. Let's continue our searches tomorrow" Lan Zhan tried to convince Wei Ying to rest, it's been 5 hours since they started looking through library and he can clearly see exhaustion on Wei Ying's face.
Seeing Lan Zhan's concerned expression Wei Ying decided to obey. He nodded and took all the founded reports and notes they made during looking through them. Once he had everything, Wei Ying let Lan Zhan carry him to Jingshi.
It didn't took long for them to reach their destination. Lan Zhan carefully placed tired Wei Ying on bed and himself went to prepare a bathtub for them, since going to cold springs in the middle of a winter. But first Lan Zhan has to get a bathtub in a first place, they broke 5 bathtub this week what means breaking it each night. Lan Wangji knows he should finally control his urges but Wei Ying's intentionally makes it impossible for him to do so.
In the meantime as quickly as Lan Zhan left, Wei Ying got paper and started attempts to see what these talismans are for.
But talisman after talisman and still no results. He groans in annoyance.
"What the hell is wrong with this talismans?! I already corrected it like 20 times and here I have! Still no progress!" Wei Ying complains, and turns to Lan Zhan who looks like he just finished preparing bath "All done?"
"Mn, come here"
"Carry meee! Your pure Wei Ying is too angry to stand up and bath himself!"
"Wei Ying." Lan Zhan tried to warn him. It's not about breaking sixth bathtub this week right now, it's about Wei Ying's need to rest and Lan Zhan doesn't want to push Wei Ying too far with sex.
"Oh, don't worry! Yiling Patriarch is too strong to be defeated this easily! Also, we still have our everyday to do, you know~"
"Mark your words"
"That's more like it"
Like this talismans are left alone. Some are on the ground, others on a table and bed but one is hidden silently under a pillow, ready to work its magic as soon as Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are asleep.

As Wei Ying woke up, he immediently knew something's off. Firstly, he doesn’t feel soreness at all with is a huge warning since Lan Zhan’s libido is known as unsantiable. Secondly, he's clearly in the inn he doesn't remember entering at all. And thirdly, he's small. But then he realizes he's hugging someone, who clearly isn't Lan Zhan. It's too late for Lan Zhan to still sleep, not even mentioning different robes and female figure.
"What the fuck..." Wei Ying mumbled sleepily and instantly stirred when he heard his voice- a voice that sounds exactly like his but when he was a little child.
"Good morning, A-Ying~! Tell me where in the world did you learn such a bad phrase, hm?" In a blink of an eye Wei Ying turnt his head to look at the owner of those words, his heart beating as fast as if he just finished training with Madam Yu overseeing. But when he saw the face of that woman, his eyes welled up with tears.
"M-mom..?" Wei Ying whispered, his voice cracking, first tear drops.
"Of course it's me, you little troublemaker! Just tell me where did you learn that phrase, I won't tell dad if you're scared of that!" Cangse Sanren laughs but when she sees her pure son bursting into tears, she immediently hugs him and strokes his back.
"Hey, I'm sorry.. i didn't mean to scare you, A-Ying.." She tried to comfort him, when she herself felt as if she was about to cry- she's never saw her little baby crying so hysterically. But when Wei Ying tried to say it's not her fault, she already had tears in her eyes.
But it looks like fate took mercy on them, making Wei Changze walk into the room with breakfast he ordered for the three of them downstairs. He immediently placed it down and went to check what's wrong.
"What happened when I wasn't here? Honey, did you scare him somehow or he had a bad nightmare or-" he didn't have a chance to finish when Wei Ying after hearing his dad's voice, immediently jumped on him, hugging him so hard as if his whole life depended on it.
"D-da-dad!" Wei Ying sobbed, now capable of stopping.
It took about an hour for Wei Ying to fall asleep from crying this whole time, leaving his parents stunned and worried sick.
