#in a terrible and hastly made flute but you can hear the certainty in the notes

[layzeal]

i think one interpretation that i acquired somewhere between my 3rd read of that scene, is that lwj’s first reaction to hearing wangxian.mp3 on that mountain wasn’t hope, or relief, or any of that

it was anger

#ok first confusion. then anger #i doubt his first thought was ''wei ying is back'' #his first thought to me was ''someone is playing this song that doesnt belong to them'' #he grabs their arm to stop them. any nornal person would already be terrified by simply standing next to hgj much less touching him #but wwx just keeps playing. that song #in a terrible and hastly made flute but you can hear the certainty in the notes #lwj's eyes widened. in his surprise his tightens his grip even harder. the person drops the flute #now. if wwx had acted in ANY other way. if he had pretended to be shy or cowardly. then maybe hgj would have brushed it off #he would have his suspicions. maybe he would haven accompany this person to safety from sect leader jiang #but nope. wwx just had to do ALL that clownery #and in every attempt to disgust him he just further confirmed his identity lmao #ah the karma #modao #lace speaks
