[ Is he truly so angry at Lan Wangji's willingness to help him? Wei Ying knows his character, and knows that he would not do so out of obligation, or out of a way to ingratiate Wei Ying to him. He has everything he could possibly want. What favors could he need from Wei Ying?
So he doesn't understand, then, what else could make Wei Ying reject his assistance in this way. Does Lan Wangji's presence remind him of his past? Does it remind him of those dark days when everyone had abandoned him, when he had struck back as a wounded animal does, and in trying to injure him, some nameless idiot had killed his sister instead?
Lan Wangji had mourned for him, for sixteen years. So he understands, it's not always easy to leave the past in the past.
This place is not home. There are no mysteries to solve, and no old faces to avoid. Only the one. Things are different here, and perhaps, Lan Wangji is not needed. Perhaps, he is hindering Wei Ying's ability to grieve. After all, he never did get a chance to do that for himself.
He looks down and takes a deep, meditative breath to calm himself. ]
