Jin Ling has been the sect leader for five years now and since three years ago he waits for Wei Wuxian to visit when summer starts and he is on his way to Lotus Pier. Just thinking about seeing him makes him smile and he starts giving orders to the servants to prepare the guestroom he always gives him.
His relationship with Wei Wuxian has improved somehow, and now every time he sees his uncle there is a warm feeling inside of him. Even though he continues to annoy him.
A week passes when he hears shouts of laughter and one or two "Lan Zhan's" intermingle from the halls and a small smile forms on his face before scowling. He excuses himself from the meeting with his advisors and starts walking to where all the ruckus is.
"A-Ling, over here!"
When Jin Ling turns to where the voice comes from he sees him all wrapped up in Hanguang-Jun's arms, bright smile, and waving his arm like Jin Ling will not notice him.
And this scene right here, with Wei Wuxian sprinting along the tiles to hug him with a teasing smile, makes their relationship worth it, because even though there is still a very difficult history between them and some part of him continues to resent him, he gained a new uncle, some part of his family is back.
"Hey! Wei Wuxian, let me go!"
He struggles and pretends to be annoyed, a scowl on his face, but can't stop thinking that it's worth it.
