A few days has passed when Sizhui was released from the hospital. By then, he has accounted for Jin Ling, Fairy, and Jing Yi as he is certain of them. The messages left on his phone had been answered but he assumed that his father and uncle have been busy. So Sizhui simply assumed his duties and carry on his responsibilities.

He waited. Luckily he is home for the evening. Most of the bruises and scratches were healed by then, faded on their own.

The door opens, and without saying a word, Sizhui rushed forward to give him a due hug. He doesn't hold back as he's worried about his father for days, his father well-being never left his thoughts.

“Dad-...?" He caught himself, the word slipped. "Hanguang-Jun? Are you all right? Is everything well?”

The word cuts, though not for its meaning. He had failed all of them, in succession, and it is pure luck that he finds Sizhui here and now, mostly unharmed. His usually pristine face can't quite contain the twist of worry on his features, though it relaxes slightly once he's given the boy a full look over.

"Lan Sizhui." His voice is soft, low, the tone he uses when they are together. The tone he once used when he murmured to the boy in the dark, reassuring him from his bed even as the blood from his back seeped into his bandages.

"I am unharmed." To say he was alright would be a lie, but he is not wounded.

He steps over to the boy, reaching out to gently press two fingers to his neck, to reassure himself that the same thing has not happened to him as it did to Wei Wuxian or Jin Ling. To reassure himself that his son is whole.

"You were taken for healing?"

This certainly isn't the first time he sees his father grief-stricken. Though Sizhui's memory as a child occurs as brief flashes, and he wondered if they're real or not. He remembers when he was younger that there was a time his father is so unwell that his uncle has taken over to raise him. Hours where he was a very small child, he stayed by his side, pulling the sleeves of the tall man wearing in white to come play with him, but Lan Wangji will not play with him, and he's disappointed and often cry. As he grows up, he understood why he can't.

Sizhui looks at him quizzically when his father comes closer to check his pulse. Sure enough, there's a pulse, beating and strong, and also warm. "The healers at the hospital. They know what they're doing." He tried to assure him that he was taken care of. "They have a technology that is unfamiliar to me, but they explained to me how it works." He said, with a wonder.

He could only smiled brightly for his sake. That all is well. In a tone never short of warmth. "I'm all right. Jin Ling and Fairy is here too. Jing Yi gave me a call recently."

Sizhui opens the door wider to let his father in, so he can find a seat to take a rest if needed.
