GUESS who got cast in the Aether Watches commercial with a mystery “VIP guest”?

You better not embarrass yourself this time.
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
What do you mean “this time”?
Nie Huaisang
Nie Huaisang
I heard rumors that the VIP is someone big from the racing world…
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Racing? Eh… not really my scene. But who knows? Could be some stuck-up rich guy.
[Scene – Commercial Shoot, Day 1 – Rooftop Location, Shanghai]

(Wei Wuxian walks into the set with a lazy grin, flipping his script. His all-black suit catches everyone’s attention. Cameras flash. He smirks.)
Director
Director
Ah, Wei Wuxian! Glad you're here. You're playing the Rebel Timekeeper—a charismatic man who controls fate.
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Perfect casting. I do control hearts.
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
(He turns—spots a tall man in white, hair tied neatly, standing near the bikes. Their eyes meet.)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
(blinking) Whoa.
[Private Chat – Wei Wuxian & Nie Huaisang]
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Dude. The mystery guest is Lan Wangji.
Nie Huaisang
Nie Huaisang
WHAT?! The Ice Racer???
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Yep. Cold, tall, and insanely good-looking. I think he glared at me??
Nie Huaisang
Nie Huaisang
That’s just his face. Don’t take it personally.
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Why did I feel like I’ve seen those eyes before…
[Scene – Wardrobe Room, Mid-shoot Break]
(Wei Wuxian leans against a mirror. Lan Wangji enters, about to leave with a bottled water. They both freeze.)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
(smiling awkwardly) So... Lan Wangji, huh? I’ve heard you don’t talk much.
Lan Wangji (ml)
Lan Wangji (ml)
(quietly) I talk when it matters.
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
(tilting his head) Do I matter yet?
Lan Wangji (ml)
Lan Wangji (ml)
(Lan Wangji stares. A faint flicker of something ancient flickers in his eyes.)
Lan Wangji (ml)
Lan Wangji (ml)
You’re… familiar.
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
(startled) Wait—do we know each other?
Lan Wangji (ml)
Lan Wangji (ml)
(soft) I don’t know. But… your voice. That flute.
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
(Wei Wuxian feels dizzy—flash of moonlight on a lake, a boy in white robes standing still, guqin vibrating under fingers.)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
(blinking fast) Did you just say… flute?
Lan Wangji (ml)
Lan Wangji (ml)
(firmly) You played it. In the fog. On a mountain. And I… I chased you.
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
(shaken) I dreamed that last night. A burial mound. A war. You… called me Wei Ying.
Lan Wangji (ml)
Lan Wangji (ml)
(eyes narrowing) That’s not in the script.
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
(quietly) No. It isn’t.

[Scene – Later That Night – Rooftop Balcony]
(Both sit in silence after filming, staring at the skyline.)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
I’m not crazy, right?
Lan Wangji (ml)
Lan Wangji (ml)
No.
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
So what does this mean? Shared hallucination? Destiny? Parallel lives?
Lan Wangji (ml)
Lan Wangji (ml)
(turning slightly) I only know... my head hurts when I look at you too long.
Wei Wuxian (mc)
Wei Wuxian (mc)
(laughs) Charming. You really are an Ice Racer.
Lan Wangji (ml)
Lan Wangji (ml)
And you… have always been chaos. Even in memory.
Private Chat – Lan Xichen & Lan Wangji
Lan Xichen
Lan Xichen
You look unsettled.
Lan Wangji (ml)
Lan Wangji (ml)
He plays the flute. The exact melody from my dream.
Lan Xichen
Lan Xichen
Lan Zhan… do you believe in reincarnation?
Lan Wangji (ml)
Lan Wangji (ml)
I don’t know. But I believe I’ve found someone I lost before.
