Yes, this was similar to their first conversation when he had first arrived. He understood what that helplessness to care for someone was like, though compared to the Wen's struggle, it paled in comparison. He had tried to take care of WuXian in his first life but had been blocked both by WuXian himself and the circumstances of the world. WuXian had been an enemy to the cultivation world, not one WangJi should associate with. When he had tried to defend him, he had been beaten for the trouble and hadn't been there for WuXian's last moments.

He had suffered three years with those injuries, a time he had wanted to take care of A-Yuan but had been physically unable. Watching the child he'd made his son leave with his brother and not being able to join them had been hard.

Still, his injuries had healed, he had a good relationship with Sizhui, and even against all odds, he had WuXian again. Xichen had never allowed his good name to be disgraced even after attacking his own sect trying to save WuXian. His problems were nowhere near those that Wen Qing had suffered.

"You can be with him now. He appreciates that."
