Yibo said, "These days a person is appearing in front of me who is exactly look like you, but both of you are different persons.
"Earlier it seemed, you may have some kind of experience, isn't it?"

Xiao Zhan said, "Yes! I thought you are that person, though you have different get up. But the same face. So, I was thinking if that person came to persuade me changing his style- cutting hair or wearing our dress - he was so stubborn."

Yibo nod, "Then tell me your story first, then I'll tell you mine."

"I'm first? Um. Ok !" Xiao Zhan said and started his story.

In Xiao Zhan's words:-
"I am an artist. I wander around places for painting and exhibition or so. I heard this place has many beautiful sceneries, so I came here a few days ago. I was living as a paying guest of a bachelor man over there, just behind the hill. The place called Yilling.

The night of my arrival, when I was viewing the moonlit night from the balcony, I saw him.
Dressed in white, a man with golden eyes standing in front of me. His long smooth hair and his forehead ribbon were waving in the air. He was carrying a sword. His calm-cold look, lost-looking eyes were captivating."

Yibo thought, Here goes another description of that Wangji person. First that psycho now this foolish artist. Well, both are the same person no doubt.

Xiao Zhan's also stopped when he realised the person he was described as beautiful, someone with the same face was sitting beside him. He gave a shy smile then continued again.

"I was so shocked at how anyone could enter here. But he didn't reply to me properly and called me Wei Ying. I asked how he came here, he said by the sword. I thought he was a madman. Then I asked why he was here, he said, 'for night hunt'. His face was rigid but his eyes were full of worry. He asked me "What happened to you? Why you changed this much?"

I asked him 'Who are you?' His expression was changed. His face became paler, or I was seeing wrong. His eyelids were trembling too. I feared if he was not feeling well. So I took him inside. Everything was suspicious about him, I know, but he did not seem a fraud or evil person. I gave him some beer. Though he may feel better. But Oh God!

Yibo said, "What?"

"Did you ever see a person got drunk just after one drink? Me never. It was totally unexpected from him, first, he fell asleep. I was super tensed. Who knows who is this person, and now acting like this, what should I do. After a few minutes he woke up, but he was still in a drunken state.

I tried to talk to him, he wasn't answering properly. He was only asking me to go back with him.. somewhere called.. Gusu? Yea, That's the name. I never heard of the place. Did you?"

"No" Yibo said.

"Ok, and he was still addressing me as Wei Ying, and asking if the metal is controlling me.. or something like that, total gibberish. I asked him his name again and finally, he replied 'Lan Zhan'. I asked many questions. I asked why he was here again. He said that he is here to see me. I also asked about his sword. I never hold a real sword before and the design of his sword was also beautiful. So I asked him if I can take a look. He replied, " I am here, choose me, not bichen" Xiao Zhan shrugged.

"Then what happened?" Yibo asked.

"Nothing much, I gave up, later I fell asleep too. I did not find him in the morning, I asked the landlord. He said he did not know any person like that. But I still saw him later. But he seemed normal than before. But his words did not change, 'Go back Gusu with me.' It's really hard to say No to those eyes, so I tried to escape from him. He wants to kidnap me! Oh heaven !"

Xiao Zhan finished his story. "Tell me your story, now. Mr Yibo!" He said looking as Yibo.

Yibo shared his story, then they started to sum up what was happening around them.

It was cleared that this Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji came from past and met them. Both want to see each other but ended up with their future selves at this place. Surprisingly the future selves of them also in the same place. Something making them come crossing the timeline. Wang Yibo saw him only at night, but Xiao Zhan saw Lan Wangji in morning too. So what is the thing bringing them here?

"Desire?" Zhan said.

"Not Impossible. But.... I still don't know how is it possible..." Yibo said.

"We should talk to them too, But Lan Zhan did not speak much, oky let's give a try." Zhan said.

"Oky, I'll ask Wei Wuxian too." Yibo said.

"Here, Keep my card, contact me if you find out anything." Zhan said.

Yibo took the card and thanked him. Then they went to their own destinations.

That day when Yibo went to the home, no one was there at that time. He stood in front of the mirror to check if he needed a shaving. Then he thought out loud, "That person, Xiao Zhan was also praising Lan Wangji guy, but they also said we look alike. So who is more handsome? What will I look like with long hair, wearing super long white clothes? WTF ! it sucks. I prefer how I am now. How can that get up look more handsome? Tsk!"

Suddenly he heard a sound, he moved his face and found Wei Wuxian was looking at him, smiling. "Why he always appears so sudden like this?? Sigh" He thought.

"Did you hear anything?" Yibo asked.

"No! Nothing at all. Hee hee.." Wei Wuxian said and sat on the bed.

The next day, Xiao Zhan went to a place a bit north from Yilling, there was a very small lake. And the whole lake filled with lotus. Quite surprising, but the view from the wooden bridge was incredible. Xiao Zhan prepared his canvas and colours. Suddenly he noticed Lan Wangji was standing beside the bank of the lake. Zhan called him. He noticed and came closer.

Xiao Zhan said, "What are you doing here?"

"Viewing the lake" Lan Wangji replied.

"I have something to talk to you."

"Speak"

"Um, I heard about the person you are searching for. Wei Ying, Wei Wuxian." Xiao Zhan said.

Lan Wangji did not say anything but looking at him. 

"You want to hear right? Then do me a favour. Stand there, for a few minutes for me, oky?"

"Why?" Lan Wangji asked.

"Nothing much, I just need a good angle for a few minutes, then you are free. please." Xiao Zhan said.

"mmn"

Xiao Zhan took his colour and brushes and become busy. Sometimes he was glancing at Lan Wangji.

"What about Wei Ying? Who are you?" Lan Wangji said.

"My name is Xiao Zhan. Finally, you asked my name." he smiled.

"Why are you a different person?"

"Because it is the future. You came to future, Lan Zhan. There is also a person who looked exactly like you, but not you." Xiao Zhan said.

"This is the future! Wei Ying also came here like me?" Lan Wangji asked.

"Yes, he came to the person who looked like you, and thought he was you. I met the person another day and he told me this. He did not call me so I don't have his number. So I can't contact with him right now" Xiao Zhan pouted.

"I will go"

"Go where?"

"To search Wei Ying"

"Wait wait. I'll help you. where you going to find him without lead? Not to say you are in future... We can see him at Yibo's house. I don't know where he lives."  Xiao Zhan said.

"Who is him?" Lan Wangji asked.

"The person looked like you."

"How to find him?"

"He will call me." Xiao Zhan said.

"When?"

"After talking to Wei Wuxian."

Lan Wangji did not say anything. He did not know how they will contact, but believing him was the only option to him.

Xiao Zhan finished his drawing. He looked at his creation. "I'm not bad, but the handsome person in the drawing making it extraordinary."

Then showed to Lan Wangji, "How is it?"
His innocent eyes were full of expectation what will Lan Wangji reply?
