Second Life

7 (Version 1)

For chapters 7 and 8, there will be two versions! Chapter 9 continues from both versions!

Dinner ended and Wei Ying and Yibo moved to the couch, still engrossed in talking. They laughed and smiled happily while the other two were staring sadly.

"L-Lan Zhan... I j-just remembered I need to tell Y-Yibo about s-something..." Xiao Zhan said.

Lan Zhan knew Xiao Zhan was lying. Xiao Zhan is always so obvious when he lies. But all Lan Zhan thought about was that he would be able to talk to Wei Ying.

Xiao Zhan quickly went over to the couch and interrupted them. "Y-Yibo... I... Can you come with me?"

Yibo frowned a little at Xiao Zhan's nervousness but nodded his head and stood up. Xiao Zhan quickly grabbed Yibo's hand and pulled him into Yibo's room.

"What do you need?" Yibo asked and Xiao Zhan felt hurt at the cold tone. He quickly grabbed Yibo's hand.

"I... I..." Xiao Zhan stammered. Yibo trapped Xiao Zhan against the door and whispered "If you drag me in here like that, I might think that you want to do something to me..."

"No!" Xiao Zhan widened his eyes and exclaimed which made Yibo angry as he hit the door, right beside Xiao Zhan's face.

"Do you dislike me that much?! Am I really that useless compared to Wang Zhan?! Am I not worthy of your attention, of being loved back by you?!" Wang Yibo hissed.

Seeing Xiao Zhan trembling slightly with his eyes shut, Yibo took a deep breath. "Forget it, get out. I won't disturb you anymore"

Xiao Zhan's eyes widened and he immediately grabbed Yibo's hand. "No! Yibo, I like you! I like you very much!

E-Every time you touch me or get close to me, I get jittery all over and... I... I stayed away from you because I felt guilty towards Wang Zhan. He took care of me so well and I didn't want to hurt his feelings!"

"Then why are you telling me this if you don't want to hurt his feelings?" Yibo asked angrily. Isn't it more torturous knowing Xiao Zhan actually likes him back but rejects him?

"I... I'm a very selfish person, Yibo... Even if I hurt him... I... I don't want to hurt you. Every time I reject you and you let go of me... I hate seeing that expression on your face... I hate making you feel that way when you deserve to be happy and loved... When I can choose to love and make you happy...

And... I hate the pain it gives me... I keep getting jealous... Like that girl you laughed with... Like Xiao Ying and how well you two get along, how you two talked and laughed...

Yibo... I'm selfish, very selfish, so... So I want to choose you. I want to be with you. Please give me a chance, I... I will talk to Wang Zhan tonight.

Just... Just don't stop loving me. Instead, stop thinking you are useless or unworthy because I don't think so. Because I love you so much" Xiao Zhan said, tears almost dripping.

Yibo gently wiped his tears and pulled him into a hug "Silly boy, I will never stop loving you. I'm very happy you feel the same way. I'll wait for you. I hope you tell him and come to see me tonight. You have no idea... How much I hate seeing you two share a room"

Xiao Zhan nodded furiously while in Yibo's embrace while Yibo kissed his forehead, glad that his favourite person chose him.

Meanwhile, the moment Xiao Zhan dragged Yibo into the room, Lan Zhan immediately walked towards Wei Ying.

"Wei Ying" Lan Zhan called, his eyes dripping with jealousy. Wei Ying's eyes widened "L-Lan Z-Zhan... Y-You r-remember...?"

"Wei Ying... I'm sorry. I've been searching for you all this time. When I saw Xiao Zhan, I immediately assumed it was you. It felt a little off and the feeling wasn't the same but I shrugged it off as it might be because you have reincarnated."

Lan Zhan knelt down and held Wei Ying's hand "Wei Ying, I love you. I'm sorry I did not get to protect you in our previous life. I'm sorry you thought no one trusted you.

I trusted you. I just hoped nothing bad would happen to you and everything about Yin Tiger Speal screamed trouble.

I wanted you to come back to Gusu with me, not because I wanted to force you to learn the sword way again. I just... I wanted you by my side. I wanted to protect you from the world."

Tears flowed out of Wei Ying's eyes. He misunderstood Lan Zhan. He thought Lan Zhan hated him. When they made peace, he thought Lan Zhan did so simply in order to find a way to pick up the sword.

Absorbed in feelings from the past, Wei Ying suddenly found himself kissing Lan Zhan back. These feelings bubbled in him, giving him relief, comfort and satisfaction he had been seeking for.

Lan Zhan deepened the kiss and grabbed cupped Wei Ying's face when Wei Ying shot his eyes open and pushed Lan Zhan away.

"I-I... Y-You... We c-can't... X-Xiao Zhan..." Wei Ying mumbled, shocked at what he did. Even if he found out that he and Lan Zhan reunited and felt the same, Lan Zhan is currently dating Xiao Zhan.

In a hurry, Wei Ying quickly left, tears falling. He can't do this to his little brother, who was always gloomy and upset, but one day came home saying he found his prince charming.

Since then, he became happy and more talkative. Wei Ying was worried, knowing Xiao Zhan had been feeling inferior and it brought back memories about Jiang Cheng.

But when Xiao Zhan found his prince charming, feelings of inferiority did not matter to him as much anymore.

So how can Wei Ying still take Lan Zhan away? He had been hurting his little brother since young. He can't take away the one person who makes his little brother happy.

Meanwhile Xiao Zhan had entered his and Wang Zhan's room. He sat on the bed, fidgeting about, waiting for his boyfriend to come in.

Seeing him enter, Xiao Zhan immediately thought of how he should break it to Wang Zhan.

But before Xiao Zhan could say anything, Wang Zhan sat beside him and said "Xiao Zhan, would you listen to my story?"

Xiao Zhan nodded, especially after seeing Wang Zhan's sad face.
