🎶🎶🎶🎶
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
We're standin' there
On the rooftop in summer air
See the lights, see the visiting disciples
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Lan-er gege!"
Little did I know
That you were my soulmate, you were throwin' pebbles
And my uncle said, "Stay away from Wei Wuxian"
And I was cryin' on the Jingshi
Beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said
Wei Ying, come to Gusu with me so I can protect from the world
I'll be waiting, even if it takes thirteen years for you to come.
You'll be my Yiling Patriarch and I'll be your Hanguang-jun
It's a love story, Wei Ying, just say, "Yes"
So I sneak out from cloud recesses to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape the burial mounds for a little while, oh oh
'Cause you are my Wei Ying and, I am your Lan Zhan
And my uncle said, "Stay away from Wei Wuxian"
But you were everything to me
I was beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said
Wei Ying, come to Gusu with me so I can protect you from the world
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is kill Jin Guanshan
You'll be my Yiling Patriarch and I'll be your Hanguang-jun
It's a love story, Wei Ying, just say, "Yes"
Wei Ying, return to me, they're tryna tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, Wei Ying, just say, "Yes"
Oh, oh
I never got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' back to me
My faith in you is never fading
When I met you on the foot of Dafan mt., and I said
Wei Ying, please return to me, I've been waiting for you all alone
I kept waiting for you, and you've finally come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
I'll kneel to the ground and pulled out my forehead ribbon
And said, "Marry me, Wei Ying
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your donkey, go pick out a red robe
It's a love story, Wei Ying, just say, "Yes"
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you.
At the last lyrics of the song, Lan Zhan finally put down his brush, feeling satisfied with the piece he had just written and composed for Wei Ying.
He stood up from his desk and change into his sleeping robes. He lay next to his sleeping husband's body, pulling him tighter on his chest caressing his sleeping face then finally kissing his forehead like he always do every night. With a flick of his wrists the candle's lights were blown away. Lan Zhan closed his eyes, knowing that when he wakes up Wei Ying is right next to him.
