Wei Wuxian is being punished by Lan Qiren for fighting with Jin Zixuan. Lan Wangji sees Wei Wuxian's back and imagines the worst. Turns out it's Wei Wuxian playing with an ant's nest, much to Lan Wangji's disgust. Lan Wangji visits the anthill at night to play with it and the ants form a dog and rooster for him.
