My Little Devil BL (The Untamed/Advancing Bravely/Guardian/HIStory3)

Chapter 37

It was an especially cold night. Winter was approaching, and even the animals that usually littered the streets huddled away, leaving the roads deserted. Only two figures were seen as they walked briskly in the night.

Lan Zhan quietly followed Wei Ying, silently tracing his footsteps until he reached his broken house in the outskirts of town. Lan Zhan then waited until he was sure Wei Ying was sleeping, climbing in through the window.

He had been following Wei Ying for weeks now, still unable to find the strength or a way to approach Wei Ying and admit that he knew what happened to him every night. How angry would Wei Ying be if he knew how he followed him and figured out his secret? The Wei Ying who would always hide his pain from him, with a large cheeky smile always bracing his face, how would he feel if he knew.....

"Lan Zhan!"

Lan Zhan endured Wei Ying's merciless teasing silently, the only sign of his discomfort was his fingers clenched at his sides. He thought he could get used to the way the boy would frustrate him, that eventually it would cease to bother him, but as time went on, it only increased his annoyance.

"Aiyooo... Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying held papers filled with drawings ontop of his head, waving his hands madly around, trying to get Lan Zhan's attention.

Wei Ying finally gave up and scooted over to where Lan Zhan was sitting, hastily sitting down right next to him, before he could run away. Eagerly he spread the papers on the table before him.

They were in the library again, Wei Ying had inappropriately spoken to a girl in Cloud Recesses, since speaking to female cultivators was strictly prohibited. As a punishment he had to write out the sect rules, for the third time this week.

For some reason, Lan Zhan was particularly angry about him talking to the female cultivator. How shameless was he, that he could casually speak to her! Despite Wei Ying's protests and Jiang Cheng's shocked face, Wei Ying was forced into the library to copy them out. Lan Zhan sat at the table opposite, knowing that Wei Ying was just drawing, but still feeling better that he was sitting there, alone, with only him in the room, away from anyone else. Away from trouble.

"Look, I drew you!" Wei Ying excitedly said shoving the pictures closer to him.

Lan Zhan couldn't resist to peek.

"Here's you writing in the library, it's you from now! Ah, ah....here's you smiling, it's how I imagine you'd look," Wei Ying showed him a picture where he had drawn him holding a bunny rabbit, smiling softly, but somehow the smile reached every corner of his face.

Lan Zhan watched quietly as Wei Ying showed him drawings of him in every scenario possible.

"Here's you cooking, you're making the sweetest lotus soup ever, since you don't like spicy things."

"....."

"This is you holding a baby girl, she doesn't have a name yet.... but look what a great dad you are."

Lan Zhan, "....."

"Here's you collecting wood to keep our house warm."

"---"

"Oh look, this one's my favourite, here your bathing in the river...."

Lan Zhan, "Shameless!"

He yanked the drawings away and stood up, striding quickly out the room, closing the library door firmly behind him. He heart raced and he couldn't slow it down. Quickly he hide the papers inside his robes and flew off to his room.
