In the ancient realm there was a soul who was known widely as Hanguang-Jun.
He was known to be aloof and away from worldly beings. Seldom people knew him for who he was or what his heart truly yearned in reality.
A man who loved dearly and in retu...
Sighing at the ludicrous moment that I just experienced with Jingyi, that kid will never change, I walk inside the inn when I witness all the students standing aimlessly and watching me enter with keen eyes.
"Youngsters would wait down. Elders would be upstairs" I command and Sizhui immediately obliges. Meeting the inn keeper, I request him to provide dinner and rooms for the disciples and host a private dinner upstairs.
Turning to leave, I remember Wei's love for Liquor and request for the same too. Not paying attention to the dozen of eyes on me, I knock the door and enter to find Wei Ying watching the dark sky in deep melancholy.
Pouring a cup, I hand it to him and without a thought he consumes them. Sighing deeply, his words are laced with immense pain "Lan Zhan" the way he says my name, strikes a chord within my heart. My fingers itch to touch his skin, caress his face and embrace him into my warmth.
"Hm" but I don't do any of the above, instead I listen to his pain.
"Why does bad thing happen to good people?" He takes another sip of his liquor "what happened back in Yi City, with Xiao XingChen, Song Lan and" he turns to look at me "even Xue Yang" he sighs "Lan Zhan, what is right? What is wrong?" He laughs sadly and I gasp inwardly.
Weren't they the same words Wei Ying had once uttered. Those same questions? I am pulled back in time when I received those 33 lashes. I had then questioned but received no anwer.
"Wei Ying" I whisper and he abruptly turns to look at me, holding a cup in front of me, he demands "drink with me, tonight".
He wants me drunk? Does he not remember what happened last time? Shaking my head, I realise, he can truly bring out his emotions, only if he's with me, when I am drunk. For you Wei Ying, I'll consume whatever you ask me to.
Taking the cup from him, I pour the liquor and consume it. I gaze into his eyes. They're excited. If this makes my Wei Ying happy, then gladly I'll...
My head thumps against the table and he grins.
"Lan Zhan!" He whispers next to my ears and chuckles softly "people get drunk then they sleep, here you're completely the opposite" my breath hitches when he brings his face close to my neck. Seconds pass by when I feel his nose nudge my cheeks "you're cute, Lan Zhan" he whispers. Just as he's about to close the distance between us, there's a soft knock on the window and he moves away from me.
Stabilizing my breathing, I listen to the voice and immediately stiffen when I realise who it could be.

Wen Ning! What is he doing here?
I hear them talking to eachother when an unknown feeling is brewing inside my heart, I call his name "Wei Ying". He immediately turns and strides to where I am sitting.
