[ Xingchen prepares himself, unsure of what he's about to hear. If his friend injured? Is Zichen hurt? What has happened while Xingchen has been out of contact with the two of them?
My name is Xue Yang.
It doesn't make sense. It's a name Xingchen is well acquainted with. They were enemies. Once, he'd wanted to help the man turn a new leaf, but the hatred had been so strong that the only answer was to turn him over to the other sects so that he couldn't keep causing havoc.
Why is that name coming from the mouth of his friend? A man he spent years building a life with? A man that has become near and dear to his heart? Xingchen isn't stupid, he knows this isn't meant to be another Xue Yang.
The confusion is too strong for him to process it for a moment. His mouth opens, but it's another few seconds before he speaks. ]
I don't understand.
[ He understands, but he wants to hear he misunderstands. ]
