LAN ZHAN AND WEI YING'S ETERNAL DESTINY BOOK2

CHAPTER 18

That was not because he didn't trust his brother, because he was the only person he trusted in the whole mortal realm.
The thing was...if words were to come out that Lan Zhan and Wei Ying were the chosen ones, his brother would definately be in danger, and he would be in more danger if he was to know about the things he and Wei Ying were talking about with the Gods. Lan Xichen had his own connection with the Gods and they had theirs which were about dangerous things and warnings. So he had to keep everything from him for his own safety.

Silence took over the room again and Wei Ying was left in an awkward situation between brother's. Lan Xichen stood up and said " I need to go now before it's time for bed, I will see you both tomorrow" Lan Xichen had a smile in his face and Wei Ying who always found comfort in his smile felt that the smile he was giving wasn't radiating and calming him as it always had, infact he felt 'doubted' and he knew this was how Lan Xichen was feeling at that same moment.  "Good night Zewu Jun, see you tomorrow"  that was all Wei Ying could say while Lan Zhan walked his brother to the door and locked it after bidding each other good night. Wei Ying sat down to have some tea, he poured a cup for himself and for Lan Zhan aswell, he picked his tea cup and sipped on it. Lan Zhan who was trying to avoid Wei Ying couldn't anymore because he didn't want to seem rude to Wei Ying by not accepting tea.

Lan Zhan went to him and sat down on the other side of the table, picked his cup and sipped on it still lowering his head. Wei Ying got used to that and he felt like he was walking in eggs with Lan Zhan and that feeling was very uncomfortable for him, with that being said...he had to talk to Lan Zhan about something and this time he did'nt care if he broke a few egg by accidentally or deliberately stepping on them.  After a few sips he started " Lan Zhan! Why did you do that?" Lan Zhan still avoided eye contact but he still answered " what do you mean? What did I do?" " Seriously Lan Zhan, you're going to sit there and tell me you don't know what I'm talking about?...look...I know you're worried about your brother finding out many things about us. I also agree that the Gods will tell him what he needs to know and will not tell him what they tell us because it's dangerous. I get it ok! I do get it but..."

Wei Ying was so worked up that he raised his voice unintentionally and when he realised that he was scolding Lan Zhan...his soulmate and the one who was given the task to keep and guard his core power for several years. He totally understood that he was that important and the Gods trusted him more to give him such a huge responsibility, the reason for him to be alive up to this point was Lan Zhan's strange longer meditation period stabilizing his core power so that his temporary spiritual energy could flow and not forgetting that he saved his life twice since the met, but he couldn't let this one slide. He did that with so many things because he always felt like he was not permitted to talk or say what was in his mind ,not by the Gods but by Lan Zhan. Wei Ying was raised to be free in everything he does and say, to smile even when it was not needed and be polite no matter what.

Now was Lan Zhan who he had not seen smile even once, comment when sometimes needed and only spoke a few words and that was it, Wei Ying made a bet with himself to make him say more than he's used to because he needed answers. He calmed down and took a few breaths with his eyes closed to stabilize his breathing " Lan Zhan...your brother is only trying to help, his task is with us to help us in any way he could, but if you won't let him then how is he supposed to do it? You get too worried and when you do your temper rises and your commanding voice is some5that sends shivers to my spine. How can someone reason with fear? How do you think he felt... He knows he's not supposed to overstep his boundaries and trust me...he knows his boundaries very well, why do you think he went to sleep with your uncle? Why do you think he himself went out to bring robes for us?...

Everybody may know who we are but they do not know what we are and by that we are not in any immediate danger, so you think he went there because you're the chosen one? I know you don't use statuses and neither do I, but I respect Zewu Jun because he is my peace and calm. I don't care how you take it Lan Zhan,but I will not sit by an let you treat him like that. If you don't want to tell him anything then let me tell him, I have a right to speak to whomever, whenever and about whatever I want don't I? Or do I have to make an appointment and tell you first what I want to tell him? " Lan Zhan gasped and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't not look up into his eyes at the things Wei Ying had just said. His breath became shakey and his face went too pale because of how flustered he was.

He wanted to say something but he couldn't, when he tried to speak his lips trembled, he stopped trying for a minute or so trying so hard to calm himself down. He still had hope that Wei Ying would someday return his unrequited love and till that day comes...he needed to choose which tone to use correctly in that kinds of situation. He closed his eyes breathing while Wei Ying was looking at him with patience, waiting to hear what he had to say. He was patient enough until he had it and flushed an answer out of Lan Zhan by force. " LAN ZHAN!!! Am I not talking to you?  answer me this instant!!"
