The Delusory Ice Wall

Chapter 6

Hai Kuan walks to his table after Zhuo Cheng closes the door, Xiao Zhan stands silently in front of him who is looking at him sharply.

"Wei WuXian, don't force yourself to do this for Yibo if you are not willing from your heart". Xiao Zhan shook his head.

"I'm not forcing myself to do this, Your Highness".

"Really?? You are not thinking like your brother??". Xiao Zhan frowned.

"What do you mean by that??". Hai Kuan turns to look at him with a smile.

"I know your story, and I know what is in your brother's mind and what he is thinking of us, and I also know what is he going to do, but how about you?? Are you doing this for revenge too??". He asked but Xiao Zhan looked down.

"I....Don't think so".

"How come??".

"I only thought of meeting my brother that time, until we met by coincident here, I said to myself that's it, everything is not important now, as long as my brother is next to me I have nothing to worry about, and I keep telling him to change his thoughts so we can stay next to each other, I don't want anything bad to happen to him, but....when I see Prince Yibo in this state, I unconsciously protect him too, he is strong but weak at the same time, I need to do something for him, that's what I thought until now". He said slowly and Hai Kuan nodded in understanding.

"You are brothers, and have different thoughts yet similar points, You know that he is doing this to save you, right?".

"Yes".

"Then you know that he is willing to do anything to make sure you are safe, right?". Xiao Zhan nodded.

"Yes, and I don't want that, I want him to focus on himself and forget about me a little". Hai Kuan laughs at him and sits on his chair.

"Forget about you you say?? Whatever he does he is thinking about you, and it's for you, I feel like he is your bodyguard, not mine". Xiao Zhan giggles at him and bows.

"Sorry about that Prince Hai Kuan, I will talk to him".

"It's fine, I know you are his only family he has, it's normal to be extra careful toward others to protect yourselves". He said slowly as he sighed.

"Prince Hai Kuan, excuse me for this, but....You are always cold, do you get worried about Prince Yibo too??". Hai Kuan looks at him annoyingly.

"Of course I do, that's why I am talking to you now, I wanted to know if you are like Jiang Cheng or not, so I have to tell Yibo to be careful next to you, but it turns out that I have to be careful only from Jiang Cheng, you are fine to be with Yibo so you are dismissed". He said in one breath as he looked for some papers around his table, Xiao Zhan laughed at him.

"Don't worry Prince Hai Kuan, my brother is kind and reliable, just stop teasing him and you will be fine". Hai Kuan sighed and looked at the file he was holding.

"I wonder, he is looking at us like killers, he said we killed your parents".

"Sorry about that, that's what he is thinking, but we are not sure about the details". Hai Kuan looks at him and stands up.

"And I am sorry that he is telling the truth".

Zhuo Cheng was waiting outside the palace after making sure the guards took the maid away, he was thinking of his brother's words and held his head.

He sighed and thought of going to Hai Kuan, but he was probably still talking to Xiao Zhan, so he changed his direction to Yibo's room, he frowned when he didn't see him in the bed, he rushed to the bathroom and saw him on the floor unconscious.
