CBL – 4.

Xiao Zhan came back soullessly till late at night.

He walked into the living room and then saw Wang Yibo who was siting on the sofa with anger.

Seeing Zhan enter, Yibo stood up and came up to him.

Before Xiao Zhan could talk, his wrists were already griped tightly by Yibo. He was pressed against the wall.

Zhan’s back was hurt and in pain, but none of these would be worse that the pain in his heart.

Xiao Zhan blinked his sore eyes, trying not to shed tears. But the angry look of the man was hurt Zhan again and again.

Yibo was irritated because Zhan didn’t listen him and didn’t leave.

Zhan had been with him for five years. Not until now did he realize that he was just a bed partner to him.

“Xiao Zhan, what do you want?” Wang Yibo landed a punch near his ear at the wall and it made Zhan head ache.

Xiao Zhan was exhausted and staring at Yibo soullessly. He then suddenly laughed ironically. His laughing made Wang Yibo unhappy and frowned.

This man who used to be obedient to him now showed such a cold and ironical look to him. Wang Yibo felt angrier.

But Xiao Zhan was quite calm and asked, “About the Xiao’s closing down, you deliberately blocked messages from me, didn’t you?”

In his eyes there were no light and hope but despair.

“I had been with you for five years. Why can’t you show mercy to the Xiao’s? Wang Yibo, even though I was just a bed partner to you, I would not have ended up like this…”

Zhan was gradually sobbing and his shoulders started to tremble uncontrollably.

His rage reached a critical point, and he was extremely hopeless…

Being with Yibo for five years, I was no better than a joke!

Wang Yibo frowned and said, “Xiao Zhan, don’t be ungrateful. If it wasn’t for me, your dad would have ended worse. I kept that from you for your own good. Besides you had made a break with your father. It would be better if you didn’t know, and your father would not want you to know, either…”

“Wang Yibo!” Xiao Zhan couldn’t listen to him no more. He felt it ridiculous that Yibo would always have excuses.

How could he do anything he want reasonably? It seemed that the whole world should revolve around him. He could have me if he wanted to and he could abandon me if he wanted to. Even when he did something wrong he could still get an excuse for it!

“What about my dad’s death?” Xiao Zhan said it with his teeth clenched, and his jaw was chattering, saying, “I’m his son, but I could not even take the last look at him! Wang Yibo, how could you do that to me!”

This man was questioning him hysterically. Wang Yibo was stupefied, looking at Zhan’s red eyes which were filled with tears, saying, “Did you just say that uncle Xiao had passed away?”

“That’s enough, Wang Yibo.” Xiao Zhan laughed coldly. At the same time he was also sobbing, saying, “Yibo, don’t do this. You are Wang Yibo. How can’t you know? I am just nothing to you. So you think that I shall live like a puppet to let you control and simply stay by your side. My feelings are nothing to you.”

But that was my father. How could he be so cruel?

Did my father’s death really mean nothing to him?

He didn’t even let me take a last look of my father. I knew my father’s death just now…

Xiao Zhan, you were not filial at all. You should go to the hell!

“Xiao Zhan.” Wang Yibo was angry, looking at Zhan holding his own hair crying sadly, then Yibo felt something different for Zhan.

He pulled Zhan and hugged him in his arms, comforting him in a low voice, “Don’t be so sad, please.”

Xiao Zhan was struggling, trying hard to push him away. He was tired of Yibo’s sweet talk and his fake concern.

Yibo pulled him and hugged him in his arms, comforting him in a low voice, “Don’t be so sad, please.”

Xiao Zhan was struggling, trying hard to push him away. He was tired of his sweet talk and his fake concern.

But the man didn’t let go of him, holding him in his arms until Zhan ran out his energy, then Yibo stopped frowning.

Xiao Zhan raised his head and saw the worry on Yibo’s face. He was afraid that it was his delusion.

His voice was soft, saying, “Yibo, tell me. Tell me that all of this is just a dream, please.”

Zhan was breaking down. It seemed that his world was collapsing and he didn’t know where should he go?

“Speak.” Zhan was gripping Yibo’s arms, trembling. His eyes were full of upset and expectation, saying, “Please tell me that you did not abandon me. Tell me that my father is still a live. Yibo, we said that we would grow old together. You said that I would be the only one you love…”

“Yibo.” All of a sudden, a female voice sounded and interrupted Zhan.

Xiao Zhan was stupefied, slowly looking toward that woman. Qiu Zixuan was wearing a silk nightgown and a smoke gray shawl, coming downstairs elegantly.

She was smiling faintly and she looked elegant. Her appearance was quite opposite to Xiao Zhan’s which was quite confounded.

Xiao Zhan’s hands fell down from Wang Yibo’ arms.

Why would Qiu Zixuan be here?

“Xiao Zhan is here.” Qiu Zixuan came over elegantly, with a charming and dazzling smile.

Xiao Zhan clenched his fists silently without saying anything.

“Why are you standing at the door? Come in.”

Qiu Zixuan looked like that she was the hostess of this house, natural and graceful, but Xiao Zhan was like a stranger, a guest…

Qiu Zixuan held Xiao Zhan’s wrists and took him in the living room.

In the meantime, she was talking to Wang Yibo, “Why do you keep standing? Xiao Zhan just got here and his hands are cold. Go ask a servant to get him some hot tea.”

Wang Yibo nodded.

Seeing her go away, Xiao Zhan began to look around the house. He had lived here for five years so he had already considered it as his home.

But this house seemed… different.

The furniture was all changed so did its location. And there were more servants.

Xiao Zhan’s hands and foot were cold and the cold spread to his heart, iced.

Zhan chose all the furniture. It took him a lot of thought to this house.

Wang Yibo said, he could do anything to this house as long as he liked, so Yibo let Zhan decorate the house in the style that he like.

Yibo said that he didn’t want anyone to bothering them, so there was no servants at his house.

But now it was all different.

Xiao Zhan felt pain in his heart, and he could barely stood up. Was it because this house had a new hostess?

“I don’t like the colors of the grass and flowers, so Yibo asked servants to change them all.” Qiu Zixuan said like she was chatting casually, “He was like this before, considering everything for me. He was afraid that I would get tired, so he employed several servants. He is such a good man,”

Qiu Zixuan smiled happily while she was speaking. Happiness could be seen from her face. Xiao Zhan’s heart was badly hurt by what he heard and saw.

A good man.

He was a hundred percent good man only when he was with Qiu Zixuan.

Xiao Zhan felt anxious and upset, knowing that he needed to leave now.

This house no longer had room for me. But, where was I supposed to go?

When Zhan came out of the cemetery, he hated Wang Yibo badly but Zhan realized that this was the only place he could go.

Zhan didn’t want his mom know his current situation, because his mom would go mad.

I wanted an answer.

I gave up everything. And ended up like this?

I am not willing to accept that!
