Pretending Not To Remember: A Second Chance

Chapter Seventeen

"Jin Guangshan?" Asked Lan Xichen.

"Mn. If this book explained more about empathy then I can use it on Jin Guangshan to look into the future. To see what's the future Jin Guangshan have done to Wei Wuxian. Why does he provoke Wei Wuxian?" This got Lan Xichen to think about what Wei Ying just said.

"Alright, I will help you to get to Jin Guangshan. I just don't know how yet," Wei Ying walk over to Lan Xichen, he put his arm on his shoulder, "why not ask Nie Xiong to help you? You know how smart Chifeng Zun little brother is?"

"You know Huaisang too well, Wei gongzi."

Wei Ying let out a giggle, "he is my friend after all." Wei Ying removed his arm from Lan Xichen shoulder, he walk over to the step while saying, "Thank you for the book, Zewu Jun!" Lan Xichen shake his head at the way Wei Ying is acting.

When Wei Ying arrived back at Jingshi, he see Lan Zhan is talking to a girl. He tighten his hand on the book, an angry expression show on his face. Just when this girl is about to touch Lan Zhan, Wei Ying disappeared from there and reappear behind Lan Zhan, grabbed his clothes and pull him away from the girl who is about to touch him.

This shock Lan Zhan to see himself getting pull back by Wei Ying. The girl looked at Wei Ying, she took a step back away from him, "Get lost, don't show yourself in front of Lan Wangji home anymore. Now leave!"

She ran away from there when she see Wei Ying crimson red eye giving her a death glare. Wei Ying let go of Lan Zhan clothes, he walk away from there without looking back at Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan look at the back of Wei Ying as he walk from there, "what....what...what just happen? Suddenly, I felt a cold aura around Wei Ying. He pull me back when the girl is about to touch me." Lan Zhan eye went wide at what he just figure out, 'Wei Ying, are you jealous?'

Wei Ying found a place to let go of his anger, 'Lan Wangji Ah Lan Wangji, don't just stand there to let some girl touch you. Don't forget who you belong too,' Wei Ying then bring the book in front of him, then drop his hand down to the ground. 'I can't contract at the moment. Just seeing what just happen pisses me off.'

He leaned his head backwards to look up into the sky. 'Don't let anyone touch you, Lan Zhan. Don't you dare talk to any girl either. I need you to only think about me and only to look at me.'

He stay at that place until night fall, 'I should head back before Lan Zhan comes find me.'

When he arrived back at Jingshi, he walk into the room ignoring Lan Zhan. He went over to the bed, close all the curtains and put up a silent spell around his area. Lan Zhan who is seeing this felt like a knife stabbing his heart.

Since Wei Ying isn't talking to him, he walk to his room, and closed the door behind him. Wei Ying who is reading the book removed the silent spell around his area and when he did, he hear the sound of sniffing coming from Lan Zhan room.

Wei Ying got out of the bed, move the curtains to the side as he walk out of his room. He walk over to Lan Zhan room and knock on the door.

Lan Zhan who is inside of his room drying his tears, he hear a knock coming from the door. He know that is it Wei Ying on the other side of the door, so he blew out the candle, and the room went dark.

Wei Ying decided to give up, he walk away from there, instead of walking back to his bed, he walk out of Jingshi and walk straight to the library to stay for the night. 'It is best to give each other some space. How long will you keep this up, Wei Wuxian? How long will you keep on hurting your Hanguang Jun like this?'

Jingshi

The next morning when Lan Zhan woke up, open the door to his room, walk out and look to his left side. He see that the curtain to Wei ying bed is still close from the front to the one that is close to the bed.

Lan Zhan is hesitating either to go over there or not. He decided not too, he end up walking to the cold spring to do what he usually do every morning.

Library

Lan Xichen who is walking by the library, he see someone is sleeping on the other side of the room with one leg cross above their other leg and a book covering their face.

He walk into the room, walk over to that person and take the book away from that person face. "Wei gongzi."

Hearing someone call him "Wei gongzi" Wei Ying opened his eye, he take the book from Lan Xichen hand and put it back on his face. Lan Xichen couldn't help but giggled at this, "Wei gongzi, what are you doing here? Why are you sleeping in the library instead on sleeping back at Jingshi?" Lan Xichen asked.

He went to take a seat that is above Wei Ying head, "Lan Wangji and I has an argument last night. I don't feel like staying in Jingshi since I don't know what to said to him when I see him in the room. This is the only place I can think of," 'beside I spend my time here with Lan Zhan, when he was the one who told Lan Qiren to punish me by writing all of their stupid rule down instead.'

"Then did you find anything on empathy in this book?" Lan Xichen changed the subject for Wei Ying to get his mind off of his didi who by now is still angry at him.

"Mn. I found out that using empathy, I can either look into someone far past or far into the future." 'If I can look into the future then I will know what Jin Guangshan and Jin Guangyao did to me. I am sure that the two of them is the cause of my death.' Wei Ying said this without removing the book from his face.

"Then I will head to the Nie clan to talk to Huaisang," before Lan Xichen can get up, he hear Wei Ying saying, "You should also read the letter that Nie Xiong man found in Jin Guangshan room. This will help you see what kind of person Jin Guangshan really is."

"I will,"with that Lan Xichen left from there to head straight to the Nie clan.

Nie clan

After reading the letter that his didi man had found inside of Jin Guangshan room, Nie Mingjue is angry and upset at how cowardly Jin Guangshan really is. "Da ge, now you see what kind of sect leader Jin Guangshan really is. He doesn't deserve to be a Xiandu just like what Wei xiong said."

Before Nie Mingjue can said what he want to said a voice interrupted him, "Mingjue Xiong, can I also read the letter?" The two Nie sibling see Lan Xichen walking into the room.

"Huaisang?" Nie Huaisang pick up the letter from his brother table, went down to where Lan Xichen is at and handed him the letter. As he read the letter, Lan Xichen felt the same anger inside of him just like Nie Mingjue.
