This is exactly 100% the very accurate dialogue the script-writers had in mind when they wrote this scene.
Image description under the cut.
Narration, as Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng come across Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen in the Unclean Realm in Episode 21: Just a normal encounter during the Sunshot Campaign...
Wei Wuxian, looking alarmed: oh no, my ex! who hates my new cultivation! who I also never began dating in the first place. can you break up with someone if you were never technically a couple?
Lan Xichen, looking at Lan Wangji with concern: I’m guessing you two are still on the outs...?
Lan Wangji, staring angrily ahead: No. There is nothing wrong. I am feeling nothing. This is my feeling nothing face.
Lan Xichen, now looking ahead with concern: ...alright, if you say so.
Jiang Cheng, looking at Wei Wuxian with concern: So, uh, you guys still going through a rough patch, huh?
Wei Wuxian, putting on a smile: Actually I am not bothered by this whatsoever. I am, in fact, very happy and normal and will say hello like a normal, untraumatized person whose crush isn’t rejecting him.
Narration, as the two parties come close and bow: *polite, normal bowing*
Wei Wuxian, looking at Lan Wangji: *YEARNS at Lan Zhan*
Lan Wangji, meeting Wei Wuxian’s eyes: *no yearning. no talking. still angry*
Wei Wuxian, looking to the side, somewhat hurt: oh. oh alright, cool cool cool
Wei Wuxian, covering it up with a stiff smile as he nods at Lan Xichen: anyway, nice seeing ya Zewu-jun
Wei Wuxian, walking fast past Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji: completely unrelatedly, time to go.
Jiang Cheng, looking up after Wei Wuxian in alarm: Wait, what? Really?
Jiang Cheng, also walking fast past Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen: Shit, I’m out too, then
Lan Wangji, turning around to stare at an off-screen Wei Wuxian: *YEARNS where Wei Ying cannot see*
Lan Xichen, also turning around to stare at the off-screen Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng: Well...that sure was something.

To celebrate wrapping up the juniors series earlier this year, I commissioned a scene from One Eye Upon the Heaven Renounced from @sadfishkid, who absolutely nailed a difficult and emotionally-charged moment!
If you found me from AO3, thank you for all the kind words and support over the past few years. <3 And if complicated familial relationships are your jam, I’ll throw a link to this fic in the reblogs.

Who else thinks Lan Wangji went “wherever the chaos is” all those years because he always hoped that Wei Wuxian would be right in the middle of it since he was more often than not the cause of chaos?
