Second Life

Yibo was heading out when Xiao Zhan stopped him "Thank you... for treating my wound. Wang Zhan misunderstood"

Yibo looked away and swung his arm to free it, then walked away, leaving Xiao Zhan standing there with an unknown feeling in his heart.

While Lan Zhan tried his best to pay more attention to Xiao Zhan, he found himself distancing away.

During this time, Yibo once came home slightly drunk and Lan Zhan scolded him badly, then left.

Xiao Zhan had to stop Yibo from destroying everything, getting a few bruises here and there.

Yibo slumped to the floor "Leave me alone! Leave me! I know I'm useless! I know I can't study well! Just leave me!"

Xiao Zhan who was tired slumped down beside him "Yibo... Why do you say that? Don't say that..."

"It's true..." Yibo cried "I'm bad at studying, I'm bad compared to Wang Zhan! Everything he does is way better! I want to race, I want to dance, but all they want me is to study and I can't! Why must they compare me to him all the time! Why?!"

Xiao Zhan hesitated but when Yibo leaned on his shoulder, he held Yibo's hand "Yibo, don't be sad. I have an older brother too.

He is amazing and he learns everything so quickly. He chose not to go to university and he already started his own successful business.

While me... All I know is drawing. I don't know if that will even help me in the future. I'm just trying to go with the flow and be hopeful"

Xiao Zhan found Yibo staring at him and his heart thumped "W-What..."

"You..." Yibo said "He stole you from me too..." Yibo continued before placing a kiss on Xiao Zhan's lips.

Xiao Zhan froze but when he realised what happened, he immediately pushed Yibo away and stood up, blushing.

He wanted to say something but ended up going to his room while Yibo laughed at himself for being pathetic.

That day was the first time Xiao Zhan went to sleep before Lan Zhan came back. Because Xiao Zhan did not know how to face him.

Especially when the kiss sent tingles and unknown feelings through him and he enjoyed it so much. Much more than the kisses he shared with his current boyfriend.

The next day, when Yibo sobered up and Lan Zhan had early classes, he sneaked into the two's room. He really hates that the two are sharing a room.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan woke up in shock. Yibo was here again. Yibo watched him "Before you say anything, I'm not sorry."

Xiao Zhan sat up with a confused face and Yibo continued "I'm not sorry for kissing you. I didn't say anything wrong either. He stole you from me.

Xiao Zhan... I will never forget your look and your name. That day when we were 7 years old in that forest is something I will never forget too"

Xiao Zhan's eyes widened "T-That... L-Liar! That was Wang Zhan!"

Yibo chuckled "So you remember. That was me. I told you I am Wang Zhan because I wanted to be him. I wanted to be as good as he always is. Even now... Even now I want to be him. Because he has you"

Xiao Zhan's heart squeezed at Yibo's words. Yibo stared at him so intensely that when Yibo leaned forward, Xiao Zhan was frozen still.

Their lips were just millimetres away when Yibo chuckled "Xiao Zhan. From now on I will never want to be like Wang Zhan. I will be me and I will steal you from him"

Yibo then left and Xiao Zhan had mixed feelings. First, he was disappointed they didn't kiss. Second, he was blushing and his heart was thumping so quickly. Third, he felt guilty and like a betrayer.

A few days later, Lan Zhan was walking beside Xiao Zhan when his hand brushed against another which sent sparks through his body.

Wei Ying! Only Wei Ying had made him feel like this before. Immediately, he tightened the hold on that hand and what made him happy was that the hand did the same.

The two turned around at the same time and both their eyes widened. Suddenly, Xiao Zhan popped out "Ge Ge! We were trying to find you!"

Lan Zhan's face paled when he heard Xiao Zhan's words while Wei Ying quickly let go of their hands. "Zhan, how are you?"

"Good! Ge, this is Wang Zhan, my boyfriend" Xiao Zhan smiled while Wei Ying tried to smile and reached out his hand "Hi... Wang Zhan... My name is Xiao Ying"

Lan Zhan's eyes widened. Xiao Zhan had a twin? Xiao Zhan only said he had an older brother! So Xiao Zhan is not Wei Ying's reincarnation?

Lan Zhan reached forward to grab the hand and shook it and sparks traveled through his body. This feeling he missed so much is unmistakable.

He remembers it clearly as this was the last thing he felt before being reborn. The two unknowingly held their hands there till Xiao Zhan cleared his throat "Something wrong?"

Wei Ying immediately let go and smiled "No, nothing. Let's go get a seat before others start queueing"

Now Lan Zhan felt awkward holding Xiao Zhan's hand. He was more relieved when the two siblings walked side by side in front of him.

Lan Zhan kept staring at Wei Ying. How did he fail to realise that Xiao Zhan was not Wei Ying? Maybe he was too desperate and immediately assumed he found Wei Ying when he saw Xiao Zhan.

A dog barked and Wei Ying flinched while Xiao Zhan giggled at him and Lan Zhan's heart squeezed.

He got the wrong person... Wei Ying is right there... But now he can't go to him...
