Dusk And Dawn ✔️

Part 7 :- In 'Sickness' and In 'Health'

Yanli smiles affectionately, "That's not necessary, Mr. Lan. How may I help you?"

Wangji finds it hard to make eye contact with the young girl. He keeps his eyes down, "If it's ok with you, I would like to meet Xian. Now."

She looks surprised for a second, but invites him inside, "I will call him."

"No. Don't." Wangji says, standing up, "I would like to see him in his room if that is ok with you."

"Mr. Lan, that is highly inappropriate... " Yanli starts, but when Wangji looks at her, she can see the desperation in his eyes. She changes her mind, "I will take you to his...."

"It's fine. I know where it is," Wangji says before rushing upstairs. 

'Is there something Xian is not telling me?' Yanli wonders. She can't explain why she feels ok with Xian being alone with his Boss. She goes back to sleep. 

"Xian!" Wangji exclaims when he sees the blood-stained sheets. 

Xian tries to sit up once again, but Wangji rushes to him and holds him in his arms. 

Xian feels a surge of energy pass into him, and he starts feeling better. 

Wangji's eyes fall on Xian's wrists. His brows knit together, "Why did you do this to yourself?"

"I didn't. I woke up like this. I had a dream last night. It began beautifully. I was happy. But then I was lying in a pool of blood with my wrists slit. I don't know why I had such a strange dream." Xian answers, recalling the dream. 

'Xian... He dreamed of Xian. Why?' Wangji wonders. Then it comes to him, last night in the car, Xian had cut him and drank his blood. That could have had something to do with Xian's dream. Wangji had concluded that Wei Xian may or may not be his Xian, but he probably had at least a little of Bai blood in him. For only Bai bloodline could have the effect that Wei Xian had on him. 

Wangji feels Xian's forehead. He had decided that he will never again use his powers on the young man. "Why did you call me?" He enquires. 

Xian decides to tell the partial truth, "Mr. Lan, there is someone I love. I told you this before, right." 

Xian's words hurt Wangji more than he expects; he nods. 

Xian looks away, "I love him, but there are things he is hiding from me. It's like he doesn't trust me. Mr. Lan, do you know I haven't even seen him, I mean, his face. I wanted to call him, but I don't even have his number." Xian pouts slightly. 

Wangji looks away and gulps, feeling guilty. 

"I thought of getting myself to the hospital without letting my siblings know. I can't explain to them how I got these cuts. They will panic if I tell them that I woke up like this. But when I tried to move, I felt weak. I couldn't even leave my bed." Xian pauses and catches Wangji's eyes. "Mr. Lan, you are the only one I could call to take me to the hospital without letting my siblings know. I am sorry that I disturbed you early in the morning."

Wangji has never felt so jealous: Jealous of himself, than he does now, "And why do you think I will help you?"

"You came over, didn't you?"

"Yes, but maybe I thought you changed your mind about sleeping with me," Wangji says expressionlessly.

"Oh." Xian pauses, 'He still doesn't want to accept that he is Jun...let's see how long he can pretend.'

"You are right. I must not have presumed." He smiles and pulls himself closer, "I wish My Jun could be as forthcoming as you, Mr. Lan."

The words My Jun from Xian's lips make Wangji's heart beat faster. He pulls Xian closer; Xian gasps. The immortal whispers, "Your Jun?"

Their eyes meet, "My Jun. Mine." Xian answers, looking directly into Wangji's eyes. His heart starts racing, 'Accept it. Accept that you are Jun.'

Wangji looks away once more, the need to mark and claim Xian hits the immortal with full force. He gets off and away from Xian, "You can't go to the hospital. They will think you did it to yourself."

Xian had not thought about that.

"Come with me to my home. I can help you there."

'But you can help me here and now.' Xian thinks, "Why your home?"

"I have my family doctors. They won't ask questions."

"Why do you want to help me?" Xian asks, fringing innocence.

Wangji smirks, "Maybe doing so will make you fall in love with me. Maybe you will want to sleep with me then." Wangji says, trying to sound like a jerk.

Xian chuckles weakly, "You can try, Mr. Lan."

He takes Xian's phone, "Password?"

"It's 'Jun' Message Shijie." Xian smiles, understanding what Wangji is trying to do.

Wangji unlocks the phone and sends a message to Yanli.

"What are you planning to tell her?"

"That we are dating, and you will be spending your day with me," Wangji says, smiling mischievously.

"But that's a lie."

"So lie. Just lie." Wangji suggests. He puts Xian's phone in his pocket and settles him on the couch. He changes the sheets and puts the blood-stained ones into Xian's bag along with a few cloths. He hangs the bag over his shoulder and picks Xian up once more, before carrying him to his car. He locks the door with the keys Xian hands over to him, and drives Xian to Lan mansion.
