Reborn as a Stranger

Chapter 25

"Lan Zhan?.... Lan Zhan" Wei Ying waved his hand in front of Lan Zhan's face.

Lan Zhan snapped out of his stupor and regarded the other with a complicated gaze.

Wei Ying got a puzzled look and asked. "What? Don't you believe me?" He nodded his head and said. "Of course, how could you trust someone that you know little, huh?!! But what if i tell you that i am not interested in whatever you are? I don't care as long as you won't hurt anyone... So is that a good deal?"

Lan Zhan felt a bit hurt by his words. It's not that he doesn't trust him. It's because he want Wei Ying to trust him. But what's with the sudden talk of deals and all that?

Also it's a secret that he kept hidden from everyone and feared to be found out. He loathed himself for born like this. If he could exchange his life to be a normal human, he would have done that already. That's how big deal it was for him.

Yet Wei Ying made it like it doesn't matter. His all worries instantly wiped away in that moment. How did he do that?!!! Even with such simple words, how could he make him think that he is as same as Wei Ying?!!

However if you think from Wei Ying's perspective, it's natural for him to say it like that. After all he didn't run away. That's what matters. If he was in his stead, he would have done the same too.

If Wei Ying doesn't trust him even a little, he wouldn't have stayed with him. Lan Zhan was sure of it. In these past few days Lan Zhan understood him a lot too. He is so eccentric and cheerful, can't sit still for more than five minutes, naughty, but smart. Have a wide variety of hobbies.

Everything about Wei Ying amazed him. He never met someone like him. Their personalities are so different, though he knew they can understand each other so well. Even if it's not be a lifetime friendship, at least they can be friends. That's what he thought.

They roamed around for a while. Wei Ying talked non stop this and that and Lan Zhan being a good listener, listened carefully and answered in monosyllables when needed.

"Ay Lan Zhan, can i ask you something? If you don't like to answer, then it's fine too. I just want to get to know you more." The mischief glint on his eyes told it's not something sensible.

"Mmm" Lan Zhan prepared himself for the upcoming questionnaire.

Wei Ying faced Lan Zhan with a serious look on his face. "Did you ever drink human blood?"

Lan Zhan knows he is asking out of his curiosity. It won't kill him to answer. After all his most feared secrets are out in the open. What there's to fear more?!

"No. My family, including my parents and sisters never drank human blood. Father might had a taste of it when he was a child but that's it." His words came smoothly after the burden lifted off his shoulder.

"Then what about others?"

"My uncle and elders are still using it." He said bitterly.

Wei Ying didn't probe more on that. "Then, did you ever thought of drinking it?"

That question bewildered him. Did he ever thought of drinking it? He was always in control of his needs. Even after his uncle's persuasion, he never considered it. That thought repulsed him and made him hate himself more. Then how could he possibly think about it?

Lan Zhan said resolutely. "I never thought about it and i won't. I can manage myself without it." Then he told a little more about them. Wei Ying listened everything with utmost interest.

"Ah huh..." Wei Ying put his hand under his chin. He was silent for a moment. Hearing no response Lan Zhan was going to ask if anything wrong. But Wei Ying beat him to it. "Wanna drink my blood?"
