[ Lan Xichen has managed to make Zishu feel all sorts of uncomfortably unusual emotions in their very short acquaintance, and it's all revolving around Wen Kexing. On one hand, he's very glad that Lao Wen has had someone with him, a steady and regular sort of presence. Lao Wen has always done better with someone to take care of, as it seems to remind him to take care of himself as well, and as much as Lan Xichen seems to have cared for Wen Kexing, Wen Kexing clearly cares for him as well. Zishu can't begrudge him that, especially when Lao Wen has so few friends as it is. Still--and it's hard to imagine that he's the one sipping from the vinegar jug here--it frustrates him that there's a shared history he's unaware of, will never understand, and has no right in demanding. And yet still, perhaps he ought to encourage Wen Kexing to stay with Lan Xichen. ]

He is so much more than he gives himself credit for. [ A brief pause. ] As it seems you are, Master Lan.

[ Better someone like this, than a dying man like Zhou Zishu, who won't be able to hold on much longer. It'll be good for him to have someone there when Zishu dies, someone who cares deeply for him. ]
