Yao Shen goes very still. Xin Hulei's words completely blindside him.
He has no idea what Xin Hulei could be keeping from him.
Slowly, Yao Shen sits down on the sofa, his eyes not leaving Xin Hulei.
For his part, Xin Hulei's expression remains unchanged. "I've been sharing your dreams."
"What?"
Xin Hulei looks away from Yao Shen, rubbing at the back of his neck. "I know you've been having nightmares."
"Why...why didn't you tell me?" Yao Shen asks, feeling very conflicted about the whole thing.
"I didn't think much of it, until I heard what Jia Hao said." Xin Hulei's expression grows a little conflicted. "I think it's related to the blood contract."
Yao Shen hasn't thought about the blood contract in so long that he almost forgot about it.
"Is that something it can do?"
Xin Hulei shrugs. "I don't know, you were the first person I signed one with."
