There’s this small moment from Chapter 98 after Wei Wuxian sends Wen Ning away to find Lan Wangji and he hears Fairy barking that just lives rent-free in my mind

Wei WuXian immediately felt his soul fly away.
Almost petrified, he held back the urge to get the hell out of there, trembling as he hugged the sculpture on the roof tightly. Listening as the barks moved closer and closer, his chest was filled with fear, involuntarily chanting is his heart, Help me, Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, help me! 
After this, it seemed as if he got some courage from the name, and so he kept on trembling as he forced himself to calm down.

This is hardly our first example of a time when Lan Wangji makes Wei Wuxian feel safe and comforted. Several times, we see how much comfort Lan Wangji’s presence and his “I am here” bring to Wei Wuxian. Even before Wei Wuxian knows that Lan Wangji knows his identity, we see it from the fact that in Qinghe when Jiang Cheng is threatening him with Fairy, Wei Wuxian unconsciously calls for Lan Wangji. Just a short while ago we had the ‘if he catches me, I’ll...’ scene. But in this scene, it’s just the thought of Lan Wangji’s name that helps Wei Wuxian calm down when faced with his biggest fear

Wei Wuxian is of course tracking them closely, and thus opens the doors to an "inn" only to find a room full of beautiful courtesans—among them Lan Wangji.

He's dripping in finery, his face made up to accentuate his fierce features, but the thing that stops Wei Wuxian short is that Lan Wangji doesn't even look at him at all.

Still, the relief at seeing him safe and unharmed is extreme. He almost calls out to him, but realizes a bit belatedly that something very strange is going on, and he should probably make sense of it before drawing attention to either of them. He makes his way through the—brothel, he realizes, face heating—toward Lan Zhan, and when he still doesn't look up, plops himself down beside him at the table where he’s playing a rather gaudy qin.

Lan Zhan ignores him entirely.

"Lan Zhan," he whispers urgently, "what happened? What are you doing here? And why are you...dressed...like that?"

Still, Lan Zhan ignores him.

Wei Wuxian tsks at him, frustrated, and grabs his arm, halting his song. "Lan Zhan!"

This, at last, earns him a steely glare. He lets go, and the music starts up again.

"Talk to me," he says. "Please. I came all this way, let me help."

"I do not know this ‘Lan Zhan,’" Lan Zhan says. "And outside of paid patronage, I have need of nothing from you."

This stuns Wei Wuxian momentarily. He glances around, and sees a hawkish-looking madam overseeing the room, currently glaring at him. He sobers, thinking he's caught Lan Zhan's meaning. They’re being watched, so he’d better play along.

"Ah," he says, "apologies...I...got excited. You're just so beautiful I lost my head," he adds, hoping unabashed teasing might give him just a hint of the real Lan Zhan under the mask. But Lan Zhan doesn't react. 

Wei Wuxian clears his throat. "Is there a place we can...um...talk?"

"You are talking now."

Cultivation baby A-Yuan... Please let LQR talk to WWX. Infuriating as WWX might be, LQR should definitely be able to drag the truth out of him!

"No. No, this is madness," Lan Qiren groans. "What you ask is impossible. It cannot be done."

“I don’t see why not,” Wei Wuxian says obstinately. “You take A-Yuan back to the Cloud Recesses, never let anyone know he was my son, and have Lan Zhan bring him up as a ward. I will remain here and look after the Wens. What’s impossible about it?”

Lan Qiren pinches the bridge of his nose and wishes he could pinch Wei Wuxian’s ears instead. He blames himself for this dismal state of affairs; he was too harsh towards Wei Wuxian when they first met, and so the child had not thought to ask his marital family for help when he found Wen Ning slain at Qiongqi Dao. Jiang Wanyin could not be relied upon—for foolish though a marriage alliance with the Lanling Jin might be, Jiang Yanli was still in love with Jin Zixuan, and he had very little sway in his clan despite being the trueborn heir to it—but Lan Xichen has already announced his plans to bring the Wens back to Gusu, and returned all the gold Jin Guangyao sent to aid in the Cloud Recesses’ reconstruction. Nie Mingjue inspected the other camps, tallying up the dead and wounded there before denouncing Jin Guangshan before the whole jianghu; and the survivors are already recovering in Qinghe, with some already well enough to testify against the prison guards.

In short, Wei Wuxian is in no danger, and it is Lan Qiren’s fault that he ever believed otherwise.

“Your Wens will be safe. Xichen set four houses aside for them in the Cloud Recesses, and the Jin clan has been made aware that neither we nor the Nie will treat with them any further,” Lan Qiren argues. “You have my word, Wei Ying. Now go send word to Wen Qing, and have the Wens prepare to leave by the end of this week. Wangji and I will provide their food and medicines until they are ready to go.”

Wei Wuxian flinches. “You won’t send them back to Lanling? Truly?”
