Chapter 2: Why!? {WWX POV}

I was supposed to go to Ghost Realm since I am dead, but here I am wandering in the world of mortals that hated me, wherever I go, I heard them cursing my name. I planned to look for him, but I'd rather not. Burning my soul as fuel so I can stay here longer, I don't know how long I could withstand.

'It has been a week already since I died, I wonder if anyone's mourning for me.' That was exactly what I thought bur I gently heard my name, someone was calling out to me.

i followed the voice and it led me to Gusu. Yet I was focused on following it not minding anything. In there I saw Lan Zhan in actual mourning clothes, in the table were things I loved, the bunnies I gave him was there too, my headband, emperor's smile, painting. Unexpectedly Wei Ying heard Lan Zhan's thoughts as well.

In his hands was a painting of us. He was like cursing me but with sad emotion, "Dumb fool Wei Ying. I miss you, but where are you? I regret it. I regret not telling you, I regret letting go of your hands, I regret not being able to save you. I hate myself. It's all because of me"

He was crying that Wei Ying would be unable to recognize him by his face.

He looked around and didn't expect Lan Zhan to keep the things he though were thrown away. He sees him insuxh a manner and had the urge to huf him, but he forgets that he is a ghost, not a human being.

He wants to cry but no tears, he wants to touch him and hug him, but he can't. He can only suffer with him.

"Lan Zhan oh Lan Zhan, why!? You're hurting me like this. S-Sorry... I can't come back anymore. There's no road back to you. It's probably the end of us."

The moon was bright but for two certain people, it was dim, stars were shining but their world was dark, although one wearing white, everything around him was lifeless and colourless. From the moment he let go of Wei Ying's hand, he also died deep inside...

"Sorry... I'm sorry that I only realized these when I've already lost you. I'm sorry"

I smile at Lan Zhan who said those words while looking at the same painting. For him, those were precious memories that we spent together, but the current me of that time was knly playing around... "Lan Zhan, my Lan Zhan. Thank you for letting me know that you feel the same as me. But I guess we're not meant to be. At least not in this lifetime..."

Wei Ying enters Lan Zhan's dream using his soul power, his dark cultivation helped him this time.

~Inside the DREAM~

Lan Zhan opens his eyes and sees someone familiar, his hair flying along with the wind, his eyes staring at me softly, he caressed my face, "My dear Lan Zhan. Thanks for loving me, Don't blame yourself over my death, because this ghost never blamed you."

Lan Zhan reaches out his hands to Wei Ying's cheeks while Wei Ying enjoys the warmth. "Is it really you? This time... Please come back" Tears fell as both hearts beats and they enjoyed each others warmth.

Hughing each other feeling their heart beat fast as it could. "Wo ai ni"

After saying that Wei Ying disappeared to nothingness. Lan Zhan collapsed on the floor, his tears falls on the ground. In his sleep real tears he also shed.

I woke up reaching mid-air for him. I felt my wet cheeks. I placed everything related to him in a secret compartment right beneath my bed.

I tooka bath and cleaned after myself and went out without letting anyone know, Wei Wuxian followed him around like an obedient slave.

Lan Zhan was heading towards Burial Mounds, Wei Ying immediately understood why. As expected, he came back to Gusu with nothing.

His Uncle asks him where he was... He was showing repect as the Grandmaster of Gusu, not the Uncle he knew. "Burial Mounds" I walk away and heard him spout nonsense.

"No one has ever survived the Burial Mounds, it has been a week not even a single bone could be found, let alone a corpse!"

I was angry, really agotated, without facing him I yell at him,"Grandmaster! Shenme hei, shenme bai? Shenme dui, shenme bu dui? Is everything you've seen the whole truth?!"

"You.. you..." He spit out blood agitated, I heard him order me to meet him at the Wall of Rules. I went to my own room missing Wei Ying.

At the same time Wei Ying was feeling uncomfortable, Lan Zhan didn't break any rules except drinking liquor accidentally in the past. But now he goes against his uncle for me. Wei Ying was of course happy but he's afraid that his sould wouldn't hang in there longer.

"I'm afraid of leaving you..."

The next day as Lan Zhan arrived at the wall the back of his knee was hit, he was forced to kneel.

"Do you know how you are wrong?" Asked his Grandmaster.

He coldly ignores him which agitated him more, but the next moment Lan Zhan spoke up, "Then could I ask Grandmaster if he knows his mistake?"

He was hit by discipline whips. Wei Ying tried to shield him but he couldn't. He can only suffer in pain mentally without tears or pain physically.

Soon Zewu-Jun arrives as he helped Lan Zhan up and blames his Uncle. He took him to his own room dressing his wounds. Wei Ying was worried but seeing Zewu-Jun he was relieved.

Soon a black amoke enveloped Wei Ying, he understood, it was time to go... "Goodbye, Lan Zhan My Soulmate"

He xompletely disappears as Zewu-Jun notices the change. He calmed down seeing that there was nothing. Right now he's only focused on healing Lan Zhan's wounds.
