Summary
”This spell embodies our clan’s ancestral values of consensus and balance,” Lan Zhan’s brother says. “Right now, both of you are in Mr Wei’s body. In three days, both of you will be in Ah Zhan’s. And so on, back and forth, ad nauseum. The only way to lift the spell is for both of you to embody everything it represents, completely and wholeheartedly, of your own volition.”
Or: After a heated argument, Lan Zhan unwillingly finds himself sharing a body with his greatest rival, Wei Ying.

Bookmarker's Notes
"The truth is, Wei Ying’s words have shocked him, utterly and unerringly, cutting deeply to the core of his pride. His worth as a spiritual intermediary, his self-perception, his reputation: once he had worn these things like glittering armour, but now they lie around him in tatters, ground to dust in the wake of this cruel realisation."
"Revelations do not easily come to Lan Zhan, as a matter of principle. He’s always been used to thinking in black and white, to see people and events in stark absolutes; to judge in favour of appearances and outcomes over intent and context. The world has a set, predictable order in which things run, in which things are supposed to run; everything in its own time and place, as natural and inevitable as the sun rising every morning and setting every night. He has seldom been wrong, his brother and the association and its teachings have seldom been wrong, and all the rules he has ever known have always existed for good reason.
But Wei Ying has consistently flown in the face of that"
"Lan Zhan, do you know how much love went into this? You say he learnt how to cook from your Ma. What then is this meal, and every other meal he’s ever made for you, if not a living continuation of her love?”
“Suksuk, you should open your own restaurant.”
"And even as he basks in the startling, humbling glow of his uncle’s regard, he wonders if he would ever have said anything without Wei Ying’s urging him on; would ever have given voice to his own feelings, setting them free into the unspoken threads between himself and the rest of his family, and watching them take flight over their bowed heads, free and beautiful as a flock of tropical birds."
"Wei Ying’s empathy — if it could even be called that — is a vast, bottomless thing, warm and thorough as a tropical storm. What happens next feels singularly unexplainable, indescribable: Wei Ying enveloping him with the very core of his being, as though somehow holding him fast and close, from the inside."

Summary
The next day, there's a note clipped to the edge of his trellis, along with a little packet of radish seeds: “Thank you for looking after my plot! I was soooo busy with work this last week that I couldn't come to visit it. Your garden is so organized, how do you do it?”
Lan Zhan finally gets a spot in the allotment garden in the park across from his house, and begins a correspondence with the mysterious gardener in the neighbouring plot.

Summary
A-Yuan cries. It is the only sound with meaning. He cries in the restless choked waves of a child beyond hope of relief, who believes that crying is all that is left to him.
Lan Wangji lies still and listens and is grateful for the sound, insofar as he is anything.
Lan Wangji doesn't die under the discipline whip. It takes time to come to terms with this.
