"That's what he said to me." He empatheically emphasized. "There's nothing I could do for you other than acting on my heart's volition."

At that, Lan Zhan felt uncomfortable. The conversation with the Mad March question his own powerlessness. He never wanted to control Wei Ying. Knowing him from the years, Wei Ying is wild and unrestrained, a rebellious spirit. He never wanted to manipulate how he should feel basing on the Queen's games for power and control, and unwittingly he becomes a pawn.

Lan Zhan's tries to find his own strength and conviction. Very firmly, "No. The two of you are not alike. For one thing, I..." His voice trails off, trying to find the words. His heart skipped a beat as he has stopped himself in time and he is this near to confessing he has feelings for him too.

"You have a heart, Wei Ying. You know what's right and wrong in your heart. You walked the Dark path and regreted it. You never wanted to hurt people and last at all, hurt me. What Mad March said is a warning to hurt you and me." He stressed, his voice strain as if it's breaking glass.

Firmly with conviction, "You're not like him, Wei Ying."
