R/N: NEW LOOK OF ZHEN HUATIAN AKA LIANHUA♡♡♡♡♡
☆
Lan Xichen, with his eyes wide open, stare as the giant snake slithered off from Her body to the ground. The the giant snake coiled itself around and stared pitifully at her.
"Master, Xiao She is obedient, don't disdain me ah!"- Lan Xichen cannot believe his ears, Is this snake a spirit pet? How come it can talk ah? Is the world going to fall now?
"Annoying! Be quiet and stay on the side,"- Huatian ordered her and she meekly nodded and slithered to the corner, sulking.
When Lan Xichen regained his wits back, Huatian was staring at him with a serious look.
"Speak. How do you know who I am?"- She asked with her voice monotone. Lan Xichen gaze at her with a soft yet sad look.
"How about we eat first? Jiejie must be tired from the long trip yes? Here, Have a cup of tea,"- Lan Xichen smiled at her and personally poured her a cup of green tea. She could only nodded and take it since she cannot reject that face the tall man was making,
When the food arrives they silently ate. Huatian was a little disturbed by the man's stare and she cannot eat properly.
After another cup of tea for digestion, Lan Xichen then spoke.
"Seeing Jiejie like this... it seems that you do not really want to know the past and the people you met before... Jiejie.... Xiao Chen misses you alot,"- He said as his eyes became teary. Huatian was astonished, How come such a big man can shed tears so easily? Who was he in her past? Also, that name?
"Xiao Chen? That's you? I call you that?"- Huatian furrowed her brows together, her birthmark on the forehead gets squeezed in,
"Jiejie..... Lianhua Jiejie is you right? You changed so much- but its not bad, you look even prettier even... Jiejie.... when Childe Wei came to the Celebration of the Lanling Jin Sect... He.."- Lan Xichen talked to about the person he knew she cherished alot and a reaction happened from her.
"WAIT! STOP TALKING! WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"-Her head throbs in pain as she creased her brows further and held her head from the pain. Lan Xichen was a bit hesitant, He wants her to remember but at the same time he doesn't want her to be in pain.
"Jiejie bare the pain, you'll regret if you forget him- Wei Wuxian!"- Lan Xichen anxiously told her. She gritted her teeth and concentrate, trying to hear through what he has to say.
She knows its inevitable because forcing something you already loss will either let you gain happiness, weakness or sadness. But since when did she- Zhen Huatian, back out without fighting? NEVER!
With a hammering headache, she forced herself to listen and digest all the information Lan Xichen was telling her. She can vaguely remember the things he was saying yet something was blocking it- a thick barrier that encloses her memories.
"S-Stop,"- Huatian could barely support herself from the mental and physical fatigue. Lan Xichen immediately scurried to help her rest against his chest, using his handkerchief to gently and carefully wipe the sweat from her forehead and her neck. If anyone pay notice to him, they can see his hands tremble and his face a bit anxious with eyes darting here and there but never too long towards Huatian. After some time, she was weakly sitting as Xiao She aided her posture, Lan Xichen was looking at her quietly. After another cup of tea time, She finally raised her head and stared at him.
"I made up my mind, take me to the people and places I had been before, let me see if I could recall and regain my memories, if I can't... then I can't, let the nature run its course."- She said with careless tone. He nodded and smiled to her.
"Lianhua Jiejie, I'm really glad youre back,"- Lan Xichen scoot over to her side within a safe distance and stare at her with bright eyes, Huatian became unsettled getting look like this by a big man.
"I'm not Lianhua, I'm Zhen Huatian, stop calling me that,"- Huatian furrowed her brows in annoyance, Lan Xichen didn't even paid her words any mind.
"Jiejie, Can you let me lay on your lap? You used to do that to me and my brother before, and smoothing our family hair,"- A trace of nostalgia flickered on his face as he smiled. Huatian was a bit confused and still thinking about it, but the guy already laid on her lap, his long hair flowing like dark river on her thighs to the floor. She raised her hand and carefully brushed her fingertips on his hair. It was smooth, shiny and fragrant with rain dew and bamboo- if that exists, she thought.
They spent a whole hour being idle inside the room. Lan Xichen who was a whole known person in town, doesn't need to pay attention to the owner of this restaurant. Wherever he or his Sect go, they'll spout flowery words and all pleasantries to make them stay in one place to earn prestige, Seeing him idle inside this place, why would they want to drive him away?
◇
When the sun is ready to set from the horizon, Huatian stopped her fingers and withdrew her hand. Talking to Xiao She through their spiritual link to not disturb Lan Xichen who was sleeping.
"Xiao She, you need to break the barrier inside my head, you must!"
"Master... we don't know the ghost and her power- if you got hurt instead and di-"
"SHUT UP!"- I glared at Xiao She. My loud voice awokened Lan Xichen and he look at us with a sleepy look.
"Jiejie-"
"Return to your space, you snake!"- My anger haven't dessipated and called Xiao She back to the space. After she left, I took a deep breathe and calm myself down, Lan Xichen already sat up and stared at me worriedly.
"Jiejie, what happened? You and that snake-" He asked but I stopped him.
"I have something else to ask about."- I said seriously, he nodded and gave me his full attention.
"The Wen Clan where are they? Where is that brilliant scum who dares to threaten the other Sects?"- I asked as my anger and madness boiled up. Lan Xichen was quiet.
"Answer me!"
"They are still alive... the sects are being cautious because they have the Two Yin Iron to control and convert cultivators to puppets, we keep being on guard,"- He said. I look down and stared at the ripples of the tea on the teacup.
"It seems.... I do not need to look for them- the people from past. The Wen clan is wrecking havoc in this land, Why would I, Zhen Huatian, let them off?"- I stood up and walk to the door,
"Wait Jiejie! The Wen Clan, How did they offend you? I can help and aide you, Our Lan Sect are formidable, We can help you!"- Lan Xichen said grabbing my hand, I look at our hands before looking at him, my face impassive.
"The Wen Clan and My business, It has nothing to do with you! So now, What right do you have to meddle in?"- I shook his hand off and opened the door, stopping to leave a few words to him,
"After the war, Let's see what the future stored for us, Don't need to send me off!"- and I walk out, never to look behind me.

In a safe distance Lan Xichen watched as Huatian left to the forest. He could only pursed his lips and pray to heavens that person- the one he secretly loves, will be safe and away from danger.
