The truth is finally revealed

As Wei Ying looked around nervously, searching for any type of words, and found nothing, and Lan Zhan looking at him like that did not help his case. Furthermore, he knew that Jiang Cheng would kill him if he said anything." Ah L-Lan Zhan, it's nothing,don't worry". He said, acting as if nothing had actually happened just now." Don't believe Wei Ying". Said Lan Zhan, not at all believing Wei Ying, and continued to look at Wei Ying as if he was just waiting for Wei Ying to speak." Fine, fine! You win Lan Zhan, but please stop looking at me like that". He said as Lan Zhan indeed stopped looking at him like that, his eyes becoming softer." But you have to promise me not to tell anyone, not even your uncle or brother." He said, making sure that Lan Zhan promised.

When he saw Lan Zhan nod once, he started speaking once again." Ok so it may not be that surprising, but Jiang Cheng has anger issues, and let's just say that my nightmares don't help that". He said said while looking down, avoiding Lan Zhan's stare." Does Jiang Cheng hit Wei Ying?". Asked Lan Zhan, and Wei Ying didn't know what to say, he was surprised by the question, and did not know if he should say the truth,or if he should just lie.

He decided, that even if Jiang Cheng will most likely kill him if he were to ever find out about it,that he should say the truth." Well, yes...but it's really not that bad, it doesn't even hurt". He said, almost shouting to sound more convincing, which didn't really help at all." Let me see". Said Lan Zhan as he got up and went behind him." W-what?". He asked in a fearful tone

Jiang Cheng had just hit him with his Zidian last night for going back to the guest room for his clothes, and most of his scares were still looked pretty bad and very painful." Let me see". Repeated Lan Zhan." But it's really not that bad". Said Wei Ying, ashamed of those scars, it reminded him that he was helpless, because although he could easily fight Jiang Cheng and win, the punishment that Madam Yu would give woud probably be worst that death.

But in this situation, he really didn't have much of a choice, so he stood up as he gestured Lan Zhan to do the same and took off his outerwear and the bottom layer, and revealed all of the scars from Jiang Cheng and Madam Yu, and when he saw the slight look of horror in Lan Zhan's eyes, he knew that he would not leave this matter alone, which scared him because he knew what Madam Yu could do, but it didn't stop him this time.

He wanted Lan Zhan to know, so he said everything, from how he was found by Jiang Fiangman on the wen streets, to how ever since then the Jiang's, especially Jiang Cheng and Madam Yu, mistreated him even though he was the head disciple of the Jiang clan, he had to experience Madam Yu's horrible punishments that he'd get for the smallest thing, which was practically everyday. His time on the streets were the cause of his nightmares, and they never went away, not that anyone tried to help.

To say that Lan Zhan was furious would be an understatement, he was livid at the Jiang clan, especially Jiang Cheng and Madam Yu, he wanted to destroy the Jiang clan." I will find room for Wei Ying". Said Lan Zhan, and honestly Wei Ying wanted to be able to sleep on a normal bed too, but felt bad for having caused Lan Zhan so much trouble already,he didn't want to add more stress." No it's ok, i don't want to cause you any more trouble than I already have". But Lan Zhan did not look like he was going to settle down with that anytime soon." Come to jingshi". As Lan Zhan said this,Wei Ying's eyes slightly widened, jingshi was Lan Zhan's room after all, furthermore, no one was ever allowed in his room, not even his brother, Lan Xichen, not his uncle, Lan Qiren, at least not unless it was a emergency. So it was understandable why Wei Ying was surprised, and at the same time it kind of warmed his heart.

" B-but no one has ever been allowed in your room, I would never want to intrude in such a way". Stated Wei Ying, as he knew his nightmares would definitely not only worry, but also disturb Lan Zhan's sleep, and he would never want that." Want Wei Ying to be safe, also want Wei Ying to stay with me". Wei Ying was touched by his words, they were so kind and genuine." A-are you sure? I mean I don't want to cause you trouble, plus, your uncle kind of hates me, wouldn't he be mad?". Asked Wei Ying as he knew that the old Lan did not particularly like him.

After all, his perfect student was hanging out with the trouble maker. Lan Zhan had always been the pride and the ace of the Lan's, being good, if not perfect at everything he does, and Wei Ying, well although he was a very bright and smart student, he was quite the rebel as he had broken the rules many times during his stay, most of the times in accident as it was basically impossible to remember all 3000 rules like Lan Zhan did.

" Don't care what other people say, as long as Wei Ying is safe." And the sentence made Wei Ying slightly blush, but then he thought, was he really worth the pressure that Lan Zhan would most probably have?". But Lan Zhan, wouldn't you have a lot of pressure? And just because well...me". He said as he worried that Lan Zhan would stress out just because of him, but then Lan Zhan's answer made him blush even more than before." Wei Ying is more important than other people".
