I ADORE Jingyi here and I adore all the juniors in this scene for grieving for Jing, who they didn't even know. I headcanon that Wangji is like SUPER soft with them and probably sheltered them from a lot of the harshness of the cultivation world.
And if sometimes people whispered that Hanguang Jun was too gentle-hearted with the children, and that maybe he wasn't teaching them to be strong enough, well that could be forgiven because obviously he didn't want them to experience the pain that filled his own childhood, so maybe it was all right if their toughness and resiliency came from other sources.
But Lan Zhan knows that empathy is toughness and resiliency--that it's a gift to cry for the tragedies of people you never knew--because Wei Ying taught him that.
