HIME – Chapter 7

Everyone was singing, some were dancing, some were beat boxing, some were playing instruments and enjoying the whole bus ride. But Zhan and Yibo were sitting quietly. Zhan was feeling awkward after knowing he’s gonna stay with Yibo for the whole f*cking trip.

 

Yibo grabbed the bag from Zhan’s lap and took out a packet of snack and offered it to Zhan. Zhan looked at him with his confused expression but still he was looking too cute.

 

Zhan : Are you giving it to me?

 

He asked while grabbing that packet awkwardly and smiled a little.

 

Yibo : Umm.

 

He replied while nodding and looking at zhan. After hearing that Zhan smiled happily and opened that packet immediately and Started eating alone.

 

Zhan :  Well, thanks i left without having breakfast.

 

Yibo was still staring at him and admiring him all happily from inside. He was happy that he made Zhan smile. He knew Zhan skipped his breakfast this morning. So he went supermarket to buy some of his favourite snacks. Yibo placed that bag on Zhan’s lap again and looked away from him.

Zhan thought he is just placing that bag like Yibo did before.

 

Yibo : If you want you can eat everything. I already had breakfast.

 

Zhan widened his eyes and looked into the bag of snacks and smiled happily finding out all were his favourite. He looked at Yibo and thought yibo might be thanking him for saving Yibo by giving Zhan his own snacks. But he furrowed and asked

 

Zhan : Why did you buy them if you weren’t hungry.?

 

Yibo widened his eyes and Zhan couldn’t notice it because yibo wasn’t looking at him. Yibo’s mind started thinking for a excuse and bluntly said.

 

Yibo : Some one gave me.

 

Zhan nodded with his cute pout and started sulking after listening his answer.

 

“What the hell were you expecting? It might be her follower, who gave it”

Zhan thought to himself while eating the snacks.

Everyone getting out of the bus standing in a line. They reached infront of the large resort gate, there was huge garden, a fountain, and a luxury hotel. Everyone looking at the view with their wide eyes except for few rich students. There were some kind of products stalls in a garden that was making everyone confuse. Professor came and clapped three times to gain students attentions.

 

Professor  : Everyone listen here… You guys have already know about your roommate and team mate , right ? I’m sure Mr. Wang Haoxuan must had done his jop excellently.

 

Everyone except few rolled their eyes as all of them knew that professor loves to praise Haoxuan because his father is the director of this college.

 

Professor : So, I guess you guys are ready to do tasks right? We aren’t here for rest. The first task is to cook delicious food. You can choose desert, snacks, street food or a proper meal. Professors will taste and choose the best dish of the day and winner will get a  prize.

 

Everyone started hooting when they heard the name ‘prize’

 

Professor  : So there are the bags of each teammates name and you guys will have 20 minutes to choose ingredients but but but… Ingredients aren’t free. There are stalls of ingredients and each stall is manage by one professor of your course. Professor will ask one question and you will be having three minutes to answer that by any means. You can ask for help and use google too. And from each answer you can buy three ingredients.  Is that clear. !!???

 

Everyone shouted in excited, they were so ready for challenge. Well this is what we call youth.

 

Zhan was making a bored face and turned his head toward Yibo and asked him

 

Zhan :  Can you cook anything?

 

Yibo looked at him with expressionless face and Shook his head.

 

Zhan : Wow great..

 

He said sarcastically with his bitter smile and huffed in annoyance.  Everyone started going toward the stalls and Zhan and Yibo followed them too.

 

But out of nowhere, Haoxuan came, grabbed Yibo arm and started dragging him away from Zhan. Zhan scoffed in disbelief and he begin to walk forward.

 

Haoxuan stopped making yibo stopped too and huffed in annoyance.

 

Haoxuan : What the hell are you doing!?

 

He said with so much irritation and Yibo looked at him with his confused face.

 

Yibo:  What? I’m goi–

 

Haoxuan : Is this how you gonna impress Zhan!? Then let me tell you, you are f*cking up so badly.

 

Yibo widened his eyes and his eyes was showing a hint of anger after listening Haoxuan. Haoxuan noticed it and smirked in satisfaction.

 

Yibo  : F*ck off , I know what to do. I’m going Zhan is alone.

 

---

He went toward Zhan, grabbed the bag from Zhan’s hand and said in his cold voice.

 

Yibo : Let me handle this.

 

Zhan got startled from his sudden arrival and scoffed in anger.  He snatch that ingredient bag from yibo’s hands and said with his gritted teeth.

 

Zhan  : No thanks.  Go and chat with Haoxuan. He is your real teammate.  Go..

 

Yibo widened his eyes but smirked a little after listening Zhan. He took one  step closer toward Zhan and leaned more closer toward his face with his playful smirk.

 

Yibo  : By any chance, Are you jealous?

 

Zhan widened his eyes when he heard that. Zhan huffed and pushed him a little but yibo step forward again.

 

Zhan  : Jealous my as&…. I was just feeling alone because my teammate is chitchatting with his best friend and I had to do the task all alone. I don’t know why god made me your teammate. You are just pain in the as&.

 

Yibo’s smirked widened after listening all his frustration and he leaned closer toward zhan’s left ear and whispered seductively.

 

Yibo  : Well,… one day, i will definitely give you pain in your as&.

 

Zhan furrowed a little but then he realised what he said to him. He opened his mouth in shock and Yibo moved away from his ear and winked before snatching the bag from Zhan and started moving toward stalls, leaving Zhan there in awe.

 

---

Zhan and yibo were walking in the resort hall, that place was setup like a huge kitchen with numbers of stalls for students to cook their food there. Each stall has a names of its teammate. Zhan found their designated place and tapped on yibo’s shoulder while pointing their names on stall. They went toward the counter and yibo kept the bag on the kitchen counter.

 

Zhan was happily counting the ingredients and Yibo was standing with his hands crossed  on his chest. Zhan was happy because Zhan got all the ingredients that he needed for the dish. Actually Yibo answered all the questions effortlessly and Zhan choose the ingredients for the dish.

 

As yibo told him that he doesn’t know how to cook so he will be the one who cook. He only knows few dish. And Zhan decided to make his favourite dish because it was Yibo’s favourite too. He always wanted to cook this for Yibo but their relationship wasn’t that good but this is the perfect time when he can cook this.

 

Yibo was looking at the ingredients and thinking what the hell is he going to make.? He looked at the Zhan’s adorable face and wonder how can someone be look this cute just with a smile on his face.

 

Yibo : What are you going to make?

 

He asked while observing Zhan’s smile. Zhan turned his head toward Yibo and smiled more widely making Yibo go insane. Yibo immediately wanted to caged him around his arms and hugged this cute naughty ball so tightly.  But he controlled his urged by clenching his jaw.

 

Zhan : Wonton soup… Its your favourite, right?.

 

Yibo smiled a little after hearing that. “He still remember “. Yibo thought while looking at him lovingly.  Zhan moved back to his work when he get no reply from yibo and started washing vegetables.

 

Zhan : You can’t cook but you can help me. Here Cut ginger, and green onion and yeah mushrooms too. Do this then i will tell your your next job. Okay?

 

He said while giving Yibo those vegetables, Yibo grabbed it from zhan’s hand and nodded nervously. He never cooked or cut vegetables in his whole life. He doesn’t know how to do it but he doesn’t want to lower his image infront of zhan.

 

Zhan cut the pork meat expertly and went toward the mixer to minced the meat. Yibo took deep breath and started cutting green onion, he was trying to imitate the zhan’s cutting skill. When Zhan was mincing the meat he hear Yibo’s painful hiss. He widened his eyes worriedly and stopped the mixer immediately and ran toward Yibo.

 

Zhan : What happen!?

 

He asked and immediately grabbed his hand and saw a small cut on his pointed finger,without thinking twice he put his finger inside his mouth.

 

Yibo widened his eyes and started panicking when he saw that. ” How could he just– fck that’s hot”. Yibo’s eyes was filled with lust just in a second.  He parted his lips and released hot breath. Yibo’s hawk eyes peeked down on his lips which was sucking his finger. Yibo bite his own lips to controlled his urge of moving his finger fully inside his warm mouth. He sighed in need when he felt Zhan moved his tongue on his finger. ” Fck is he teasing me or testing my patience ” he thought while his brain was making dirty scenario.

 

Zhan took out his finger from his mouth and shouted frustratingly.

 

Zhan : Are you blind or what? Couldn’t you just cut the f*cking vegetables slowly?

 

Seeing him so much frustrated because of Yibo’s little injury, it made yibo so satisfied.  He smirked and took his finger in his own mouth and licked while eying Zhan’s face. Zhan widened his eyes in surprised but thought he might be doing this to stop the blood.

 

Zhan : Forget that..  I will do everything. Just stand here without touching anything. Okay?

 

Yibo took out his finger from his mouth and nodded with his smirk and moved closer toward Zhan’s ear and whispered.

 

Yibo : By the way, you sucked me too good. I f*cking love it.

 

Zhan’s whole blood ran toward his cheeks. He never thought someone can make him blush. Just with his few words he felt his mnhood reacting on it. He gulped hard and shook his head and started working.

 

Zhan was finding it weird that Yibo is flirting with him time to time. Yibo stopped bothering him and behaving too nicely with him. But he didn’t know why? “Because i saved him yesterday?  But why is he flirting with–”

 

“He is just teasing me, maybe its his new way to bother me.” he thought and put his full concentration on cooking.

 

---

Professor : 3..2..1 and stop..!! Time up!

 

When he shouted students stopped their hand and moved one step back from their kitchen counter.  Zhan was smiling while looking at his dish. He wasn’t sure if he is gonna win prize or not but he was damn sure that Yibo will like this. He decorated his dishes beautifully and Yibo was feeling proud that his Zhan can do anything.

 

Fei and YangZi were in one team and they had very difficult time to coordinate with each other. YangZi doesn’t like Fei because she knew what she did with Zhan that day. Fei doesn’t like her either because she is Zhan’s friend.

 

But somehow they managed to cook something eatable. Yangzi smiled sadly while looking at zhan, Zhan smiled back and shown her thumbs up to encourage her.

 

Yibo rolled his eyes and moved closer toward Zhan and pinched his waist painfully making Zhan yelp in pain.

 

Zhan  : Aaayi aaayi… Aahh!!! What are you doing Wang Yibo. !?

 

Zhan yanked Yibo’s hand away from his waist and asked with his irritated face, while making little distance between them. Yibo looked at Zhan coldly and said with his serious expression.

 

Yibo  : Stop flirting with her.

 

Zhan furrowed in confusion and asked

 

Zhan : But when did i ? Wait.. Its non of your bus–

 

Professor : Get ready students…  We are going to taste your dishes one by one.

 

Zhan stopped speaking and sighed to release some of his anger. Professor begin to taste their dishes and giving points according to the taste. Zhan was nervous like everyone. Yibo noticed it and took his hand in his warm hand and pressed a little.

 

Zhan looked at his hand and then Yibo, Yibo nodded warmly and somehow it actually gave peace to Zhan’s heart. He smiled while intertwining his finger with Yibo. Even though Yibo didn’t helped him in cooking but still they are team. But his little action made Yibo totally crazy. “I never want to let go this hand” Yibo thought while looking at their hands.

 

No one can see their hands because their lower part was covered with kitchen counter.  Finally professors done tasting and smiled at them.

 

Sadly, Zhan failed to achieve First place but he was happy to be third runner up. Everyone started eating their and their friends food. YangZi, Yubin, Ziyi, And Cheng came toward Zhan’s table to taste his dish but Yibo refused to share it with anyone else.

 

Zhan : Guys let him eat he must be too hungry..

 

Yibo was eating with his happy face and everyone was surprised to see him like that. They guessed that Yibo only shows this side of him with Zhan. YangZi was feeling so jealous and she cleared his throat before smiling and looked at Zhan.

 

Yang Zi : Zhan, Taste my dish. It must not be as good as you but i worked hard while making this.

 

Zhan nodded with his sweet smile.  He was happy that Yibo was liking his dish. YangZi moved her spoon toward Zhan’s mouth but Yibo immediately grabbed her hand and ate it without her permission.  He made disgusted face and said..

 

Yibo  : Its too bad.. Don’t eat this Zhan.

 

YangZi started burning with anger. Zhan also wasn’t liking Yibo’s behaviour toward YangZi. “Why the hell is he giving so much attention to her? Is he like her or what? ” Zhan furrowed while looking at Yibo who was having calm expression.

 

Yang Zi : Who told you to eat it..!? It was for Zhan.

 

Yibo shrugged calmly after making everyone uncomfortable and begin to eat his Wonton. Zhan doesn’t want her to argue with Yibo, so he calmed YangZi while saying.

 

Zhan  : Calm down Zi..I will eat it.

 

He said and took bite from her plate and widened his eyes to pretend like it was really delicious but everyone knew that he was doing this just to make her smile.

 

Zhan  : Its good. Wow..

 

Yibo stopped eating when he saw that. Without saying anything he stood up from his seat and left them alone. Zhan eyes followed him and he started wondering what happened to him suddenly?.

 

Yang Zi : Thank god he left. I don’t like him. I understand why Zhan hates him.

 

Zhan pouted while saying inside his brain “i don’t hate him”. He wanted to follow Yibo but at the same time he didn’t want to leave his friends. He saw Yibo didn’t left a single bite in his bowl and  it made Zhan really happy.

 

---

It was almost evening and everyone preparing for bonfire. Zhan and Yibo received a task of collecting woods from the store room.

 

Zhan and Yibo were walking beside each other but no one was speaking. Yibo’s both hands were in his pocket and he was looking straight with his stern face while walking. Zhan was biting his lower lips and moving his gaze towards yibo time to time.

 

Yibo stepped inside the store room and Zhan was going to enter too but Yibo stopped him while saying..

 

Yibo : Stay there..

 

He went inside the dark store room and Zhan understood why Yibo didn’t let him enter. Zhan smiled a little, his heart filled with warmness but within a second he felt heavy material on his both hands. He looked up and saw Yibo handed him all the woods to carry all alone. He widened his eyes and said…

 

Zhan : Are you telling me to carry all these all alone?

 

Yibo didn’t replied anything and begin to walk leaving Zhan behind. Zhan furrowed in confusion and started walking.  Few hours ago he refused to let Zhan carry ingredients bag and now he let him carry this all alone.

 

Zhan : Are you angry on me?

 

Yibo stopped in his place and making Zhan stopped too. Yibo furrowed his eyebrows in anger and Zhan could guess Yibo was too furious.

 

Yibo  : Are you still doubting on it?

 

After saying that he started walking fastly and Zhan was having hard time to follow him. Zhan stopped for a second to rest a little and watched him going further away.

Garden

 

 

Students were enjoying barbeque, some were singing and playing guitar to make beautiful environment. Zhan was sipping his drink and nodding his head with his friend. He was enjoying too but he was also looking at Yibo time to time. Yibo was still sulking and just sitting beside Haoxuan and Jiyang.

 

Zhan was noticing that Yibo was continuously glaring at Zhan dangerously. To be honest Zhan didn’t know what is his fault. But he wasn’t liking this separation..

 

Zhan saw YangZi stood up from her place and went toward Yibo. Zhan immediately got alert and saw her saying something to Yibo. At first he ignored but then he instantly looked at her and they both left from that place.

 

Zhan couldn’t hear their conversation because Yibo was sitting away from Zhan’s place. He started worrying as well as feeling nervous.  He stood up too and started finding them.

 

---

 

Yang Zi : I know you like him too.

 

Yangzi announced making Yibo little surprised. But he maintained his composer and said casually..

 

Yibo : So what?

 

Yang Zi huffed in annoyance and replied..

 

Yang Zi : You know i like him.. He is a straight guy. So stop wasting your time.

 

Yibo smirked a little and tilted his head while asking.

 

Yibo : If you know he is straight then why are you worrying so much. Or are you starting to doubt it? You are worrying because you are no match for me. And sooner or later he will be mine.. right?

 

 

YangZi started biting his inner cheek after listening that. He made her so nervous and frustrated that she lost her control and she started speaking rudely..

 

Yang Zi : You know he is not like you.. don’t you? He hates you to the core of his heart. He even hates to see your face. He can’t tolerate you for a single second. You know it right? And remember Wang Yibo he hasn’t refused me yet.. I’m sure he has feelings for me and he will accept my proposal soon.  If not, then no problem somehow i will make him mine.

 

Yibo’s eyes darkened after hearing that. He moved a little closer and pointed his finger on her face while warning her dangerously.

 

Yibo  : I’m warning You for the first and last time. He is mine. I don’t have problem if you like him, but if you will try anything dirty against his will. I promise i will make your life real hell. And Believe me I’m not joki–

 

Zhan : WANG YIBO !!

 

Yibo stopped speaking and turned his face toward Zhan who was running toward them with his furious expressions. Yibo moved away from YangZi casually. YangZi looked at Zhan with her nervous face. Zhan stopped in front of Yibo and hide YangZi behind him. Zhan was looking angry.  And Yibo furrowed in confusion as why is he looking at him like that.

 

Zhan : Enough Yibo.!! Why are you doing this with her. What did she do wrong!??

 

Zhan yelled on his face making Yibo more furious. At first he was angry because Zhan hide her behind him like Yibo was going to eat her and now he is yelling on him without any reason.

 

Yibo : I was just having talk with he–

 

Zhan : Why the hell are you talking with her. !!? You don’t give attention to anyone then why.. ??!!

 

Yibo looked at him being totally speechless.  Zhan knew he was talking non sense but he got triggered by seeing them this close and he wasn’t liking that yibo suddenly started giving attention to her. Yes, he wants to protect her because she is his good friend but more than that he wanted to know why yibo behaving like that with her. Before it was just Zhan who used to get yibo’s attention, but now Yibo was ignoring Zhan and fighting with YangZi like he used to fight with zhan.

 

Yibo : You know what Fck off.. I’m just wasting my time on you. You won’t understand anything with your shtty brain.

 

He said and left them alone.  He turned toward Yang Zi and asked worryingly.

 

Zhan : You okay?

 

YangZi : Yeah… We were just talking and you misunderstood us. He wasn’t fighting with me.

 

She told him truth. She doesn’t want to be a villain. She wants to win Zhan’s heart so she doesn’t want to do anything wrong. Zhan widened his eyes and started running toward Yibo leaving Yang Zi alone.

 

---

 

Zhan  : Yibo stop!!!

 

He was shouting while following him but Yibo wasn’t listening him. He was taking long strides toward his room and opened the door while entering into it.

 

Zhan reached in front of their room and entered too and saw Yibo packing his bag. Zhan immediately got worried and went toward him to grab his hand.  Yibo stopped and looked at him with dark eyes and yanked Zhan’s hand away.

 

Zhan  : Yibo listen…  Please..  I will explain you please lis–

 

Yibo  : LISTEN WHAT!!??  I DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOUR FEELINGS TOWARD HER!!. What you gonna explain?  That you got jealous while watching me with her.

 

Zhan furrowed in confusion and immediately shook his head. He took one step closer toward Yibo and grabbed his hand again .

 

Zhan : No! I told you, i don’t have feelings for her.. And Why are you bringing this again and again?  Why is it bothering you. Yibo do you like her?

 

Yibo scoffed sarcastically and snatched his hand away from his grip.

 

Yibo : ask this to yourself…  You are one who smiled at her and eat her food with her hands. You spend your time with her.

 

Zhan got irritated after listening so much details about Yangzi. Zhan poked his tongue in frustration and looked away to lessen his anger.

 

Zhan : And what about you?  Why are you giving her attention??  I’m feeling like she took my place. You never gave this much attention to anyone except me. If you wanna fight with someone, fight with me.. If you wanna talk with someone..  Talk to me. I’m always available for you then why are you going to Yang Zi and eating her food with her hands. Why are you replacing me—

 

Before he could say anything else Yibo smashed his lips on Zhan’s soft juicy lips..
