I Love You

16

Darren took an urgent leave for Xiao Zhan since he could not wake Xiao Zhan up. Xiao Zhan didn't know 1 year of not taking sleeping pills made his body less resistant to it again.

Xiao Zhan woke up in the late morning and got an hour worth of scolding from Darren and was made to hand out his box of sleeping pills.

Meanwhile, Yibo was not focused in work. He was hoping he could drag Xiao Zhan away to talk to him but Xiao Zhan did not even come.

The next day, Xiao Zhan came to school and Yibo immediately grabbed him and locked them in an empty classroom.

"Yibo..." Xiao Zhan frowned "Let me out." Yibo shook his head "Zhan, let me explain first" Xiao Zhan sighed "Yibo, can we talk after school? My lesson is starting soon"

"No. Let me explain first" Yibo punched the table angrily and Xiao Zhan flinched "O-Okay... make it quick..."

"Zhan, I was made to attend my Father's company's banquet. He drugged me and arranged for me to do it with my arranged Fiance. I was half drunk because of all the drinks they made me drink.

When I found out I immediately left the banquet hall! But that woman stopped me on my way out and touched me all over and I'm sorry! My mind was clouded and I couldn't think and ended up giving in to the lust!" Yibo said.

Xiao Zhan frowned "Yibo, I trust that you have your reasons. I trust that you're still the loyal pure-hearted boy I fell for. But if you think of me as an easy person who sleeps around, I'm sorry. I'm glad you explained but... I don't want to talk to you for now"

Xiao Zhan immediately left the classroom and Yibo punched the table. How could he forget what he said about Xiao Zhan. It came out in a fit of anger.

Yibo tried cooling down. His bad temper was coming up again. He had the urge to punch everything he could see.

Yibo waited for school to end before approaching Xiao Zhan. "Zhan, what I said about you... I said them in a fit of anger. I never meant to make you seem like an easy person..."

Xiao Zhan shut his eyes for a moment then sighed "Alright, let's just not talk about this anymore" Yibo nodded and reached for Xiao Zhan's hand "Make up dinner today?"

Xiao Zhan nodded and Yibo brought him to a restaurant that opened only after Xiao Zhan left. But it had many of their favourite dishes which are homemade.

After their dinner, they decided to go to a pub to drink just a little while chatting. While they were chatting about school, a man came to Yibo. "Yibo! It's been a few months! Who is this man? Your new prey?"

The man was slightly drunk and he placed his arm around Xiao Zhan "Be careful of this man, he is very wild in bed... You need to prepare painkillers if you're up for it"

The man chuckled then went to Yibo "Yibo, why didn't you contact me again? Wasn't I good? You know, I'm feeling it right now. Shall we?"

Xiao Zhan's eyes turned empty. "... Seems like you are very busy. Wang LaoShi, please go ahead and do what you want. I will see you next Monday in school."

Xiao Zhan then got off the stool and walked away but Yibo grabbed his arm. "Zhan Zhan..."

Xiao Zhan looked at him "Did you really not touch your fiance?" Yibo widened his eyes "Of course! I will never!"

Xiao Zhan chuckled dryly "So it's fine to touch others as long as they are not your fiance..."

Xiao Zhan pulled his hand back and left. Yibo immediately grabbed the man's collar and punched him "Which part of one-night stand do all of you sluts not understand?!"

Yibo gulped down the alcohol in front of him. Yes, he messed up. After his first time, he realised how sex was. The lust.

He could feel good as long as he imagined the person beneath him as Zhan. So to vent his frustrations, he had one night stands.

But he always thought of them as Zhan. It made him feel less guilty. But he never touched his fiance to prevent the responsibility.

Yibo cursed. He meant to stop but the lust was tempting. Besides, even though he was waiting for Zhan, there was also the chance of Zhan never coming back.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan cried as he walked down the dark streets. Yibo has changed. Yibo was no longer the romantic guy who keeps his body for the one he loves.

Yibo was the one sleeping around with others, yet when he explained to Zhan, he made it sound as if he was innocent. And then he made Zhan seem like the one sleeping around.

Zhan loves Yibo who shone, because he was the perfect man in his eyes. Handsome, smart, charming and most importantly, loyal. Someone who does not play or fool around with others.

Xiao Zhan lost energy in his legs and sat on the ground. He just didn't feel like walking. He continued crying and crying.

Crying because his heart hurts. Especially hearing another person telling him the person he loves is wild in bed. Crying because the Yibo he loves has changed.

Crying because he hated himself. Crying because he wished he hadn't met Yibo on the day he wanted to commit suicide and join his parents.

He looked back on his life. Maybe he should not have returned. But maybe he should not have left. But the start of this whole mess was the misunderstandings Yibo created.

Xiao Zhan was at a loss. Everything hurt and he wanted to shut out everything. The rain and cold continued attacking him but his tears kept flowing.

Xiao Zhan was about to lose his consciousness and let go of everything when he saw a blurry figure running towards him, shaking him then bringing him into his warmth while shouting his name.
