After the Wen sect was 'disrespected' withing an archery tournament including the other main sects, they offered(demanded) other sects send some of their deciples for 'training', forced by black mail and silent threats. Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian had both been forced to go, fed terribly, worked tirelessly, and getting none of the credit. But when the large group of cultivators was herded into a cave to reveal a beastly monster, their ended up being a revolt. Everyone but Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji had escaped. And everyone knew, a war was surely coming.

Jiang Cheng, without rest had ran, then walked the long distance back to the Jiang Sect, hoping to get help to save Wei Wuxian. He hadn't eaten, hadn't slept, hadn't stopped to drink, he was weak and tired. And there was no you.

After informing the nearest member of his sect, Jiang Cheng practically collapsed..until he was met with a warm chest and arms. Jiang Cheng collapsed into arms he had long since desperately missed, but was to tired to say much yet.

You had caught him, and it seemed you cared for him more than anyone else.
