Lan Wangji is meditating with his brother, Lan Xichen. He shares his lotus pod seeds with Xichen, who seemingly dies from the unripe seeds. Lan Wangji then tries to convince Lan Xichen to eat watermelon rinds with tons of chili peppers. Xichen is suspicious about Wangji's new infatuation with food. Turns out Wei Wuxian has been feeding him bad information. Wei Wuxian chuckles back at Lotus Pier and tries to sneak past a sleeping dog with Jiang Cheng, to no avail.
