[It's only ten minutes and Wei Wuxian has absolute faith that his husband will be soon to follow in his footsteps - close enough to rescue him quickly if need be but far enough to stay hidden. His thoughts linger on his husband a few seconds more as he walks to the meeting place, just long enough to remind himself of what he has lose if this goes awry.
Then Wei Wuxian focuses on the note itself. It'd been poorly written and transparent, clearly by a fool underestimating the quarry he chose to hunt. However, given this is Wei Wuxian and thinking outside the box is his preferred method of deducing things, he's considering an alternate possibilty: that the note was deliberately written to be seen as foolish by him in order to coax him into underestimating. His old friend and classmate, Nie Huaisang had been good enough at it to fool everyone, including himself, for years. And it's not as if Wei Wuxian hasn't deliberately played the fool to obtain certain goals himself either.
One way to know for sure is to meet them directly, strike up a conversation, and see just who it is that wants his head this time around. After that, Wei Wuxian can decide just how it is he's going to play with them before he lets them go.
He strolls into the clearing the meeting's to take place in,one hand already poised to grab Chenqing, just in case something unexpected happens.]
Hello! Anybody here? I got your note! Where are my secret admirers? Come out, come on out! Don't be shy now. I came all this way just see you.
[His tone's every bit as cocky and brash as it'd been in his younger years but it also sounds just a teensy bit half-hearted. Playing the role of the Yiling Patriarch upon crowd demand can be fun and all on occasion but he's missing out on cuddles. And not just cuddles but kisses and all sorts other things more exciting than dealing with this nonsense.
Why, oh, why hadn't he just listened to Lan Zhan!?]
he's so mad at himself now and it's all his own fault
