Resolution

Jiang Cheng sighed as he, this time, get off on top of Lan Xichen. Lan Xichen stared at him, but voluntarily let go of him.

"So?" he said as he sat on the floor, crossed his legs and leaned back, his hands supporting him.

Lan Xichen stared at him and, seeing he can't read Jiang Cheng's thoughts, he smiled. "I love you." He told him and looked at him in the eye.

"... I heard." Jiang Cheng said.

Lan Xichen didn't react and just smiled.

"So? What's with the ghost?" Jiang Cheng asked and looked at the pile of ashes on the floor.

Lan Xichen's face went serious. "My ghost." He answered.

Jiang Cheng looked at him.

"He was born from... his (JGY) resentment." He said, his voice low.

Jiang Cheng didn't need to ask. Jin Guangyao has feelings towards Lan Xichen.

He sighed and stood up. He brushed the dust off his clothes. "I see." He just said. "If that's all, then I'll be taking my leav – "

Before he could reach the door, he felt him grabbed his hand and stopped him.

"What?" he asked.

"... don't leave." Lan Xichen answered. "Don't leave me... Wanyin." He said, his tears starting to fall down his cheeks.

Jiang Cheng didn't answer.

Lan Xichen bit his lip as he lowered his head. He really doesn't love me - ? he thought, his heart feels like it's being crushed.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath to calm his wildly beating heart. He loves me... he thought, his face flushed red. He really loves me, not Jin Guangyao. He thought and pressed his lips tight, stopping the smile that's about to form on his face.

He raised his head when he felt Lan Xichen let go of his hand. Eh - ? he thought, his body froze as he felt his heart gone cold.

No... way... he thought, shocked, as he felt his hand became empty.

It's really no way since, just as Jiang Cheng's about to cry he felt strong arms hugged him from behind.

"Wanyin - !" Lan Xichen called as he hugged him tight, not willing to let go. "I don't want you to leave me - !" he told him, his grip on Jiang Cheng's clothes became tight it was crumpled.

Eh... eh? Jiang Cheng thought, his mind went blank because of the sudden turn in the turn of the events.

"I love you!" Lan Xichen told him. "I love you... I don't want you to leave me... I love you - !" he cried and buried his face on the back of his head.

Jiang Cheng felt his heart fluttered when he felt something wet touched his nape. It is Lan Xichen's tears.

"Wanyin... I love you – " Lan Xichen said, his voice low.

Before Jiang Cheng could react, the fourth time happened. I didn't expect this, really. Jiang Cheng thought, sarcastic.

Wait. This is just the third time.
