Just thinking about post-canon WWX going night-hunting with LWJ and downplaying or outright hiding it any time he gets injured
MXY’s golden core means he can heal up faster than he used to, but he hates the way LWJ’s eyes go big and haunted any time he gets hurt

One night they get back from a hunt and LWJ is feeling frisky, still high on the adrenaline from the fight, and WWX gets so carried away he kind of...forgets? He’s injured? Until LWJ stops in the middle of ripping off his clothes and says “Wei Ying, you’re bleeding.”
“Oh hahahaha Lan Zhan that’s nothing, just a scrape, don’t even worry about it, anyway, where were we?”
Lan Zhan purses his lips and raises an eyebrow and goes “hmm” and then refuses to rail him properly until he’s bandaged the wound, which, rude

It doesn’t take LWJ long to catch on. Fortunately, the solution is simple: if WWX refuses to let LWJ check him for injuries, LWJ will simply initiate sex after every night hunt
WWX is not complaining at all about the late-night sexcapades, although he’s a little confused — usually LWJ goes to bed before he does! Night hunting already keeps LWJ up past his usual bedtime, which is why they try to have afternoon sex on days they’ll be hunting
LWJ is exhausted but determined. No matter how late it is, Wei Ying must be gotten naked after every night hunt, for LWJ’s own piece of mind.
It’s not until LWJ actually dozes off mid-makeout, his hands still clumsily tangled in WWX’ robes, that WWX finally has to be like “what’s going on, you’re cute when you’re sleepy but wtf??”
They agree: WWX will tell LWJ if he’s actively bleeding, poisoned, or cursed (“Yes, Wei Ying, even a LITTLE curse”) after a night hunt, and LWJ will only power through his sleepiness for 100% sex purposes, not sex AND medical care purposes.
