Silent beauty

chapter 20

Wei Ying

Wei Ying had gone off to the shop in the forest, he hadn't told anyone where he was going as it was meant to be a surprise so he just told Lan Zhan that he had ' something to do ' and ran away from him, leaving behind a confused Lan Zhan that just walked off to walk with his older brother.

The young man walked until he reached the familiar place, stopping right in front of it and knocking on the door. The old lady from before opened the door and greeted him with a big smile on her face." Hello there dear how are you today?". She asked as she stepped aside and let the younger come in." I'm good today, and you?". He replied with a smile just as bright as the woman." Oh i'm doing well". She answered as she sat down and offered for him to do the same, which he did as he sat down across from her.

The two talked for a while." So, you are here for the present for your boyfriend is that correct?". She asked as he laughed at the young man blushed at her words." H-He's not my boyfriend". He said shyly as he looked at the floor." But yes, did it come yet, his birthday is tomorrow". He asked, this time looking up at the woman that was in front of him." Luckily it did arrive, a couple of hours ago actually". She said as she got up from her seat and walked into another room, coming back with a big box in her hands.

" Here you go, i hope it's not too heavy to carry all the way back". She said as she gave the box to Wei Ying, who picked it up with not too much trouble." It's not too heavy Su Yu". He said as he put it back down and sat back down on his seat as Su Yu did the same." So, if this Lan Zhan is not your boyfriend then what is he?". She asked as Wei Ying blushed once again." Well i, i don't really know, maybe friends?". He said as if he was asking.

" Nonsense, you two are anything but friends, from what you have told me about him, you seem to be a couple that just didn't tell each other yet". She said as she wiggled her eyebrows at Wei Ying, making him blush at her statement." Well i-i wouldn't say that". He said as he mentally cursed himself for cursing, which had made Su Yu look at him with a small smirk on her face." Then what would you say?". She asked as Wei Ying looked down and thought about it.

He couldn't really put a label on him and Lan Zhan, they were definitely not friends but they weren't a couple, although many had said that they acted like one, which always made the two blush.

They were really close, closer to each other than other people and they would sleep in the same bed while cuddling, they would also get an awful lot close to each other and Wei Ying definitely didn't think of him as just a friend, but if they weren't friends not a couple, what were they?" Honestly, i don't know how to put a label on us". He said in a more serious voice than before, his mood visibly changing from the previous happy one that he was in just moments ago.

" Don't worry dear, the time will come where you both will know". She said in an effort to comfort the younger, which seemed to work as he seemed to smile a little." Thank you, and thank you for this too". He said as he pointed at the box." Of course dear, if you ever need to talk again you can always come to me for boy advice". She said as she winked at Wei Ying, which finally made him fully smile as he nodded and bid her goodbye, grabbing the bow and saying bye again before going out the door." Bye dear, see you around". She said as he walked him to the door and watched him walk off with the box as he closed her door and sat back down on her seat. Just don't forget to invite me to the wedding' . She thought to herself with a smile on her face before getting up again and finishing on other things for other clients that she had.

Wei Ying walked back to cloud recesses, this time much earlier than a couple of days ago, it was still early evening and everyone was probably eating at the moment.

When he arrived, he didn't go eat with the others, he walked around searching for a spot to hide his present for Lan Zhan, it had to be near the room as he would give it in the morning. He walked around the room and decided that hiding it in the room was way too obvious and walked out of the room and walked behind it, finally finding a good place. There was a huge rock just behind the room where no one would go and there was just enough space for the present. Wei Ying went to hide it there and hid it even more with some leaves that he found nearby and then he left to go find Lan Zhan.

Like he had guessed, they were all still eating but he was a little embarrassed to go in while everyone was still eating so he decided to wait outside and get something later from sneaking in the kitchen when everyone would be done. After a couple of minutes Lan Zhan finally finished eating like the rest of the Lan's." Hello Lan Zhan". Said Wei Ying as he jumped in front of the said man, scaring him a little but of course he didn't let it show." Hi Wei Ying". He replied back as he gave him a small smile that only he could see.
