Young Master Wang went on a business trip again. He took a plane the next day without saying when he would be back.
Zhan didn’t know whether he was feeling relieved, or had a different feeling.
He felt relieved but there was a vague feeling when he returned home and saw that there was no sign of Yibo in the mansion, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Maybe he just hadn’t got used to it yet.
Anyway, it was good because he was relaxed when Young Master Wang was not in the mansion.
Zhan packed his luggage in a relaxed mood and moved directly into the school dormitory.
The battle started immediately.
Xuan Lu came back to report that their registration was successful two days later.
The preliminary round was scheduled for the next weekend, which meant there were only twelve days left.
Their small club completed the first three chapters on the morning of the third day.
“Send the email directly?” Jili didn’t know what to do next.
“Don’t submit it. We just directly published it.”
If they submitted it, once they caught the editor’s fancy and signed a contract, they would get paid by the publisher.
However, if they published by themselves, they wouldn’t get paid even though the site approved and their work was successfully published.
“We need a work right now. Let’s publish the work for free on all the platforms first. We don’t have much time left if we submit it to the editor.”
“I got it. I’ll register for an account and publish it directly after school in the afternoon.”
Jili squinted his eyes because he was very delighted when he thought about their work that would be published soon.
“Zhan, have you decided the title yet?”
“Youth on Fire.”
“Well, then we call it “Youth on Fire’!”
“But Zhan, are you going to draw completely about the teenagers’ growth?”
Jili was perturbed because the theme of teenagers’ growing process was too unpopular and easily flopped.
“No, it is about a teenage love story, and there will be three handsome male leads.”
“That’s right!”
Teenagers liked this kind of theme nowadays. They didn’t like the story that was too serious.
Xuan Lu came in from the outside with some posters in her hands. She rushed to Zhan and Jili.
“Zhou Lusi, the talented girl from Sky University will come here in the afternoon. Every anime club has to send someone to attend the lecture. Zhan, you and Jili should go.”
Zhan knitted his eyebrows.
Zhou Lusi was a top student from Sky University and also an excellent artist.
She had several popular works at this young age, and her personal Weibo followers had reached up to millions of people!
She was a popular influencer who played an important role in the anime industry.
However, the reason that made Zhan knit his brows was because of Lusi’s identity.
Lusi was Zhou Liying’s niece, and also the most outstanding Zhou Young Miss!
Among the painters of her age, her achievements were quite brilliant everyone else.
Others had tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of fans, but she had millions of fans.
Of course, it had something to do with her frequent attendance.
She was Liying’s niece and was also the daughter of a noble family. Moreover, she was deeply favored by the Old Master Wang of the Wang family.
Every time she held an activity, many people would like to join in.
“In fact, your identity is even better than her. As long as you make some achievements, and then announce that you are Young Master Wang’s wife, the number of your fans will be increased quickly.”
From the teaching building to the conference building, Jili came to Zhan’s ear and said secretly.
Zhan gave him a sidelong glance, “What you mean is that I will accomplish nothing if I don’t have the status of Young Master Wang’s wife?”
“Of course not. It’s the icing on the cake.”
Zhan didn’t pay attention to him any more, Jili was in a good mood today and was smiling all the way.
Seeing that there was not much time left for the lecture to start, Jili quickly ran up the steps outside the building, “Zhan, I’m going to occupy our seats first.”
Zhan wanted to catch up with him, but the boy ran so fast and disappeared soon.
The mobile phone message prompt sound suddenly rang at this time.
He took a look. Unexpectedly, it was Yibo’s message. “Grandma is very ill, come home with me immediately.”
Zhan didn’t know when Yibo came back.
When he heard the news that his grandmother was seriously ill, he immediately ran to the school gate without thinking about anything.
Old Madam Wang was seriously ill and was sent to the emergency room.
Now, all the people of the Wang family had rushed to the emergency room.
After getting in the car, Zhan kept pinching his palm.
He was extremely nervous!
Although in his previous life, Old Madam Wang could still live for half a year, that was his previous life.
In this life, his life’s journey was completely different from the previous one.
Now, Zhan did not know what was the situation of Old Madam Wang and whether she could survive!
Yibo’s face was ghastly pale and he was dusty.
Obviously, after receiving the news, he hurried to come back from abroad.
After two days of not seeing each other, he seemed to be even colder and more apathetic. His aura was getting more and more intense.
Zhan was worried about Old Madam and didn’t pay much attention to the man beside him.
Along the way, they did not even say a word.
The atmosphere was heavy.
Finally, they arrived at the hospital parking garage.
As soon as they got off, Yibo held Zhan’s hand and walked quickly to the elevator room.
In the operating room on the 17th floor, everyone was waiting.
They looked solemn and did not say any words to each other.
Seeing Zhan, Old Master Wang suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, “You come with me.”
Zhan thought Old Master Wang was calling Yibo.
So, he immediately let go of Yibo’s hand and retreated to one side.
Unexpectedly, Old Master Wang went straight to him. Seeing that Zhan didn’t respond, he even grabbed his wrist.
“Grandfather…” Now, even Yibo couldn’t see clearly what Qiren wanted to do.
“Your grandmother wants to see him.” Saying this, Qiren directly took Zhan and went to the operating room.
People was shocked and could only watch Old Master Wang knock on the door of the operating room.
The nurse came out.
Hearing that this was “Zhan”, she immediately let Zhan into.
Even Old Master Wang was blocked outside.
“What’s going on?” Yibo frowned slightly and walked to the door of the operating room.
Old Master Wang glanced at him. He did not relax at all with a serious face.
After a while, he said, “The doctor said that she has been calling Zhan all the time.”
Old Master Wang didn’t remember who was Zhan at all before.
For him, the reason Yibo was engaged was only to please Old Madam.
Old Master Wang was absolutely dissatisfied with Xiao Zhan. How could such an ugly ger deserve his best grandson?
But Old Madam was very stubborn to let Yibo and the youngest ger of the Xiao family get engaged.
What else could he say with Old Madam’s current situation? So, he could only arrange the two people to be engaged first.
As for the future, after Old Madam…. After that, he had other plans.
It was impossible for an ugly ger to become the young mistress of the Wang family, After all, this position was the facade of their family. If this boy went out in the future, he would surely make their family be laughed at by others.
So, in short.
He couldn’t remember who was Zhan Old Madam was calling. He only thought that Old Madam was muddle-headed and talking nonsense.
But seeing Yibo coming with Xiao Zhan, Old Master Wang immediately remembered, when Old Madam saw Zhan in Wang’s house, she indeed called him Zhan!
No one knew why Old Madame only wanted to see Zhan among so many younger generations.
Old Master didn’t know why a boy who was not related to them, but just engaged to Yibo, could be favored by Old Madame.
At the last family dinner, Old Madame even let Zhan sit by her side.
Even the two legitimate daughters of the Wang family had not enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Zhan also did not understand why Old Madam wanted to see him at this time.
But after several layers of disinfection and coming into the room, no matter whether he understood or not, Zhan was completely shocked.
Old Madam was attached to tubes. She could maintain her life depending on the supply of pipes.
She looked very emaciated. Her breath was weak, as if she would be taken away at any time if the wind was a little bit strong.
Zhan felt sad. His nose twitched and his tears almost rolled down.
“Grandma…” Zhan squatted on the edge of the bed. He held old Madam’s hand and looked at the doctor.
The doctor shook his head. “We’ve tried our best. Now, Old Madam Wang can only wake up by herself.”
There was no problem with the operation. But Old Madam Wang was too weak to go out now.
Even if she went out, she had to be transferred to the intensive care unit.
In short, it was a catastrophe for Old Madam Wang. Whether she could survive or not depended on her own will.
“Grandma, it’s me. I’m Zhan.. Grandma, I’m here.”
He did not know why Old Madam needed him. But at this moment, Zhan realized that he needed Old Madam very much.
Old Madam was the best to him among all the people in Wang family!
“Grandma…
“Zhan…” Old Madam’s cracked lips moved and she murmured.
Zhan was shocked and suddenly looked up to see the doctor.
The doctor nodded and motioned for him to continue talking.
Zhan took a deep breath and said softly, “Grandma, it’s Zhan. I am here. Grandma, do you have something to say to me?”
“Zhan…” Old Madam was obviously excited again. Her eyelids were shaking, but she could not open her eyes.
The doctor and the medical assistant came to check Old Madam immediately and paid close attention to the data of the instrument.
There were signs of gradual improvement in the data, Although the recovery was not much, it was much better than before.
The doctor looked at Zhan and nodded to show encouragement.
Zhan clenched grandma’s hand. His voice trembled slightly but was softer.
“Grandma, I’m here, I’m Zhan, Grandma, do you hear me? Grandma….
“Zhan…” Old Madam’s fingers moved, Gradually, she took Zhan’s hand.
Her voice was so hoarse and intermittent that even the doctor could hardly hear what she was saying.
“Zhan, my grandson… Zhan, Zhan…
“Grandma, I’m here. I’m here!”
So, in Old Madam’s heart, he had already been her grandson!
Zhan didn’t know why Old Madam was so kind to him.
But he could feel clearly her affection to him.
Even in the Xiao family, no one had ever given him such affection.
“Grandma…”
“Only Yibo… can protect you. Zhan, only Yibo…”
Zhan was shocked for a moment.
He really didn’t understand why Grandma had to let Yibo protect him.
Wasn’t he safer if he did not follow Yibo?
At present, although the danger he was facing was not entirely due to Yibo, at least half of the people came because of Yibo.
But grandma said that only by following Yibo could he be safe.
“Grandma…”
“Only Yibo. Zhan, must… follow Yibo.”
Old Madam suddenly tightened her fingers and held Zhan’s hand tightly.
Zhan was scared and called the doctor, “Is grandma going to wake up? Doctor, hurry to come and have a look. Is grandma going to wake up?”
****
Old Madam Wang’s condition stabilized a lot.
She finally was transferred from the operating room to the intensive care unit.
Only one family member could go in to see him, Zhan had already gone in before, so the one who went in now is Old Master Wang.
Old Master basically took up all the time to go in. The others stayed here but could not see Old Madam at all.
The doctor advised them to go home and have a rest first.
Yibo stared at the door of the intensive care unit. He had stood for a long time and then turned to leave.
Zanjin walked to Zhan and said in a low voice, “Young mrs, let’s go back first!”
Zhan met Old Madam today and knew that it was no use staying here at this time.
Seeing Yibo’s stiff back, Zhan nodded and kept up with his pace.
Zanjin drove the car for them. They were silent all the way.
After dinner and a bath, Zhan sat down at his desk and opened his Notebook computer.
He still had a lot of scripts to write. But tonight, he couldn’t write a word in his Notebook computer.
He didn’t understand what Old Madam Wang meant by saying those things to him.
The maid knocked at the door and said that Young Master asked him to come.
Zhan tidied up his clothes and walked out of the room. Then, he knocked on the door of Young Master.
Yibo was still working.
He was originally investigating projects abroad. But he came back immediately after hearing the news that Old Madam was very ill.
It was evening when he was abroad.
After flying for more than ten hours, he came back here. Because of the time difference, it was also evening here.
In other words, Yibo had not had a rest for nearly 30 hours.
But, He didn’t look tired now. It was just that his eyes were a little gloomy.
“Young Master Wang.”
“Sit down.”
Zhan was a little nervous. It seemed that every time he got along with Young Master Wang, he was always under great pressure.
Although in fact, Young Master Wang usually would not take the initiative to put pressure on boy.
But even if Yibo didn’t speak, he was also solemn. When boy was with him, he couldn’t relax at all.
Zhan looked around and went to the chair to sit down. He was at least a dozen steps away from Yibo.
“Do you like to sit so far away to talk to people?” Yibo stared at him and frowned lightly.
“Well…” Zhan knew that this distance was a disaster for chatting.
However, he didn’t think that he could talk something with Yibo.
“I can hear what you say.” Boy tried to force a smile.
Staring at the distance between them, Yibo suddenly remembered what YangYang said that day.
–Your identity, as well as your age, made boy feel that he and you are from different worlds.
People from two different worlds… Now looking at the distance between them, those words seemed to become true at this moment.
Yibo put down the mouse and turned the chair to face him.
He crossed his long legs and held the cup in his hand.
“You’re still drinking coffee so late at night. Aren’t you going to sleep?”
After finishing saying this, Zhan regretted. How could he meddle Young Master Wang’s things?
But seeing his obvious harmful habit, Zhan couldn’t help meddling.
Yibo looked at the cup in his hand, and his eyes sank for a moment.
After that, he put the cup on the desk. His hands were on his legs.
The slender fingers were delicate and perfect, like white jade.
The two crossed long legs with golden proportions were perfect and sexy.
Zhan gently coughed and looked away. He subconsciously moved his chair behind.
Although the moving distance was very limited, it was so subtle that it was almost hard to notice.
But Yibo still easily noticed boy action that he wanted to pull a big distance with him.
“Do you really want to treat me with such a distant attitude?”
Two people who had already completely merged with each other became strangers when they left the bed?
“Young Master Wang, I don’t understand what you mean.”
Zhan was still smiling. But it was just a forced smile, and Yibo could see that boy was perfunctory to him.
Yibo’s eyes were getting deeper. His deep eyes seemed to hide a lot of feelings that boy couldn’t understand. But it also seemed to have no emotion at all.
Anyway, boy couldn’t see through him. So, Zhan decided not to think deeply.
“Young Master Wang, do you need anything from me?” Zhan asked seriously.
So, he could not talk to this boy if there was nothing. They were still so strange and estranged.
This boy was unrestrained and at ease among his friends. But in front of him, he became stiff and unnatural.
“Do you think I’m much older than you?”
The man’s sudden question stunned Zhan for a long time.
How could boy answer this question? The point was, why did Yibo ask this question?
Seeing boy’s uncertain expression, Yibo was more depressed.
Did this boy have to think carefully about how to answer when he talked to him?
If this boy had to think carefully about every sentence he said, what was the meaning of the answer?
This boy was just perfunctory to him!
“I’m asking you something!” Yibo suddenly emphasized his tone.
Boy was scared and quickly said, “No. It is not much. It is not even ten years old. Hahaha.”
But thinking about it, he was actually nine years older than me!
In the past, Zhan didn’t care about this. Being mentioned by Yibo. He suddenly felt that the difference in age between the two of them was really huge.
Three years was regarded as a generation gap. Then, nine years was three generation gaps!
Eh? Young Master Wang turned out to be so old? Why didn’t I realize before?
Seeing the dislike flashed in boy’s eyes, Yibo suddenly felt uncomfortable.
This boy really disliked his age!
He was 27 years old and was just in his high and vigorous spirits. However, he was being blamed for too old!
Yibo almost wanted to catch this boy and give him a good spanking.
Didn’t this boy know that, regardless of whether it was 18 or 80 years old girls and ger, were all attracted to him?
Did this boy only like those little brats in their twenties?
That Darren was only in his early twenties. When this boy was with Darren, he laughed so happily.
“You like to eat at the food stalls and go to the low-end KTV to sing?” Yibo asked, “What else do you like?”
Zhan met his eyes, Young Master Wang seemed to be chatting with him or interrogating him.
Zhan felt clearly that Yibo did not want to give him pressure, but boy was still a little nervous.
What else did I like?
“I like a lot of things.”
“For example?”
“For example…” Boy couldn’t remember what he liked best.
He had too many interests and nothing to like in particular.
In fact, it depended on who he was with. If they were like-minded, he would be very happy even if they just had a meal.
So, how to say what he liked?
“I like things young people like anyway. I don’t have any special hobbies.”
This answer was like an interview answer and was a bit perfunctory.
Zhan forced a smile, “Young Master Wang, is there anything else?”
The things that young people liked…
Yibo stared at boy sitting position again. Boy was really far away from him.
So, should the first step be to shorten the distance between them?
Yibo’s fingers moved and he announced. “From today on, you move in with me.”
