As the silken fabric falls away, it becomes clear that the gift is indeed a book.
The cover is a deep, deep blue, but there is no title written in the block allotted for it, not yet, as Lan Wangji had decided to keep the mystery intact for as long as possible, until Wei Ying opened the book itself. The binding has clearly been done by hand, with great care.
When he opens it, he will find a copy of a musical score for a very, very familiar melody, written in Lan Wangji's own calligraphy. There are three sections; one is the music alone, written for the dizi, the second contains the same piece written as a duet for dizi and guqin, and the third contains a transcription of the lyrics that Wei Ying has so recently heard.
