SB- chapter 20

Before Wang Yibo had even ‘hit’ Xiao Zhan, tears already appeared in his eyes and were about to drop.

Wang Yibo was a big bully. Super big fat bully. He dared to be like this to him? Sucks that he actually thought Wang Yibo was a good person.

Wang Yibo didn’t move or think and he was suspicious that if he kissed him, Xiao Zhan would definitely accept it, not daring to resist.

Oh my. How did his parents raise a little treasure like him?

Wang Yibo felt as if his heart was clutched by a huge hand, making him feel pain and satisfaction at the same time.

He pinched his earlobes and stopped looking fierce, saying in a gentle tone, “Do you know what you should do when you see me in the future now?”

Xiao Zhan was confused.

“I was just mimicking what a bad guy would do, so you would know what to do in the future.”

Wang Yibo moved over after seeing Xiao Zhan’s confused gaze. Then he said, “When you meet a bad guy who has evil intentions, you need to find something and smash his head against it. After that, whether he could move or not, just run. Run and shout for help. You can’t just cry, do you understand?”

Xiao Zhan glared angrily at him and said, “Besides you, no one else would do that.”

Wang Yibo couldn’t help but reach over and pull Xiao Zhan closer, not minding his struggle, as he said, “Who knows. After all, our Huihui is so…”

Before Wang Yibo finished his words, Xiao Zhan grabbed a pillow and firmly hit Wang Yibo’s head.

The pillow didn’t hurt, but it stunned him for a second.

Taking this chance, Xiao Zhan ran to the other side and said, “You taught me this. Don’t come over.”

Wang Yibo held the pillow and looked at him for a while, exploding into laughter and he said, “You even use this trick against me, ah? Psh.”

Xiao Zhan kicked him and said angrily, “You can’t sleep on my bed.”

“Can’t I just squeeze in and sleep with you?” Wang Yibo said shamelessly, “We can hug each other to sleep.”

He climbed over and Xiao Zhan immediately said, “If you keep coming over, I’m going to call for someone.”

“…” Fine. He shouldn’t have taught him.

Wang Yibo stopped and said, “Do you dare to?”

“…” Xiao Zhan knitted his eyebrows and glared. “Stop being like this. Why…why are you like this?”

Wang Yibo was confused too. “What exactly are you afraid of? Of your parents finding out about us or me causing you trouble after I recover my memory?”

Xiao Zhan’s heart thumped. Could Wang Yibo have found out he lied about being good friends with him?

Xiao Zhan started to tug on his blankets, saying in a guilty tone, “I don’t know what you’re saying and I’m going to sleep now. If you want to sleep here, go ahead. But don’t you dare sleep on the same side as me.”

He curled himself into a ball and said in an alarmed tone, not forgetting to comfort Wang Yibo, “Don’t think too much.”

Xiao Zhan kept his ears peeled for any movement and his legs slightly stiffened.

Until Wang Yibo completely became quiet, he then relaxed and went to sleep.

Yet, when Wang Yibo detected Xiao Zhan relaxing, he silently crawled over from the other side and stared at Xiao Zhan’s delicate and soft face under the dim light; he suddenly pecked him.

Xiao Zhan’s skin was smooth and delicate; Wang Yibo didn’t want to stop caressing it.

It wasn’t enough for him to kiss it once, so he kissed it again, wanting to kiss Xiao Zhan’s lips next.

However, he woke up Xiao Zhan accidentally and the latter pulled his blanket over his head, snuggling in. He scratched the place Wang Yibo had kissed him.

Now, he couldn’t even kiss his face.

***

When Xiao Zhan woke up, he wanted to turn around when he realized it was a bit difficult. His tired mind pondered over his situation for a few seconds before he suddenly saw the arm around his waist.

He turned over with difficulty and as expected, he met Wang Yibo’s handsome face.

Wang Yibo breathed evenly and after he detected Xiao Zhan moving around, he slightly tightened his grip on him.

Their faces immediately became much closer to one another and Wang Yibo softly said, “Good morning.”

“Good morning.” Xiao Zhan dryly responded, pushing Wang Yibo, but was unable to do so.

Wang Yibo chuckled and hugged Xiao Zhan more tightly. His face was forced to be in Wang Yibo’s arms and the latter rubbed his chin against Xiao Zhan’s soft hair.

Wang Yibo said softly, “This is a nice bed. Last night, you wanted to kick me a few times, but you weren’t able to do so right?”

Xiao Zhan was quite a coward in the morning, but he was very brave at night. Not only did he kick Wang Yibo, but he also punched him several times.

Thankfully, Wang Yibo had hugged him tightly when he fell asleep. But even then, Wang Yibo was woken in the middle of the night a few times by Xiao Zhan moving around.

Xiao Zhan knew that he didn’t sleep steadily either. If no one looked after him, he was able to roll in bed.

Xiao Zhan had described his situation accurately. When he was awake, there was nothing that he wasn’t scared of. But when he was asleep, there was nothing he was scared of.

The moment Xiao Zhan was in deep sleep, he became very bold and would fight anyone trying to steal his bed.

Xiao Zhan struggled again and said, “Let go of me.”

“Kiss me and I’ll let go.”

Why was Wang Yibo so stubborn?

Xiao Zhan was shy and annoyed, saying, “I won’t kiss you. Let go…you…”

Wang Yibo pecked Xiao Zhan’s lips and the latter’s eyes widened. He fiercely struggled and the moment Wang Yibo loosened his grip, Xiao Zhan immediately jumped out of bed and grabbed his basin, running out of the door.

When he went to wash his face, he rubbed his face firmly and turned around to see Wang Yibo walking to his side.

Then, he quickened his pace and washed his face, running back. He changed into his school uniform and headed straight for the stairs.

Wang Yibo was slower by a step and called, “Wait for me.”

Xiao Zhan pretended as if he didn’t hear and ran all the way to his classroom with his backpack.

After he sat down, he panted heavily and Peng Chuyue had just gotten breakfast outside and was walking in.

When he saw this, he became stunned and then asked, “What’s the matter? There’s a ghost chasing you?”

Wang Yibo was even more terrifying than ghosts. At least, ghosts wouldn’t want to kiss him.

Xiao Zhan laid his head on the desk bitterly.

Li Wenhan and the others had arrived very early. Seungyoun and Yixuan stopped acting like rascals and even buttoned up their uniforms as they walked into class.

They sat down properly and both looked at Xiao Zhan with complicated gazes.

Like usual, Li Wenhan walked in and started to play games; but even so, he couldn’t help but stare at Xiao Zhan too.

Wang Yibo’s seat was in between the two of them and he asked, “Class monitor, why isn’t brother Wang with you?”

Xiao Zhan continued to lay on his head on the desk and said indifferently, “How am I supposed to know?”

They’ve gotten into a fight?

Li Wenhan was a bit surprised.

Not long after Xiao Zhan finished talking, Wang Yibo walked in and Li Wenhan gave him his breakfast. He even bought Xiao Zhan’s, making Wang Yibo curl the corner of his lips up. “Thank you.”

He kept his and then reached over to tug Xiao Zhan, making the latter shiver and knit his eyebrows. He said, “What?”

“Breakfast.” If Wang Yibo hadn’t mentioned this, Xiao Zhan would’ve forgotten about it. He turned around and said, “I don’t want it.”

“Really?”

“Don’t talk to me.” Xiao Zhan took out his earbuds out of his backpack and stuffed it in his ears, laying back down.

So, he’s really not planning to talk to him.

Li Wenhan tugged Wang Yibo, but the latter didn’t look back and immediately moved away.

“What happened? You bullied him?”

Wang Yibo thought about it and said, “I guess.”

“Coax him?”

Li Wenhan had a pair of discerning eyes. Without saying anything, it felt like Li Wenhan knew everything already.

Wang Yibo asked, “How do I coax him?”

Li Wenhan held in his laugh and said, “Try giving him some money.”

Xiao Zhan’s phone suddenly vibrated and he looked down to see that Annoying Wang had transferred him $520. He messaged: Don’t go home that early tonight. Let’s go to play basketball.

Xiao Zhan immediately returned the money and then deleted the two messages.

Annoying Wang transferred another $520 over and said: no one knows about us. Why are you so scared?

Xiao Zhan returned the money again, deleting the two messages.

Wang Yibo looked at the back of Xiao Zhan’s head and then looked down to text.

Annoying Wang transferred 10,000: if you don’t accept the money, I’ll let everyone know about us.

Xiao Zhan’s heart thumped and he turned around to look, knitting his eyebrows and looking down again. What happened between us?

Annoying Wang replied: what do you think?

What am I supposed to say?

In the end, Xiao Zhan was still a bit guilty and didn’t know how to reply when Annoying Wang replied again: it’s almost time for the morning session. Quickly eat breakfast, otherwise, I will tell your parents about us.

Xiao Zhan suddenly sat up and turned around to see Wang Yibo smiling. He grabbed the breakfast and shoved it in his desk.

Wang Yibo leaned over and casually said, “If you don’t eat, I’ll tell your parents also.”

Peng Chuyue kept his ears on the conversation and gradually got confused.

Xiao Zhan wanted to immediately break off his relation with Wang Yibo, feeling as if it wouldn’t end well.

He had been avoiding Wang Yibo for the past few days, but they were still in the same classroom.

Besides in class when Wang Yibo wouldn’t disturb him, whenever class was over, Wang Yibo would amuse him with jokes. Xiao Zhan couldn’t put up with him anymore.

When class was over, he started walking out with everyone else, but Wang Yibo had still caught him when Xiao Zhan arrived downstairs.

The youth trapped him in the abandoned staircase corner and said, “What happened? Your parents didn’t want you to talk to me?”

“It has nothing to do with my parents.” Lately, Xiao Zhan had a lot on his mind and he didn’t know how to mention breaking off their relationship to Wang Yibo.

He had the feeling that Wang Yibo might bash his head in after hearing this.

“Then what has it have to do with?”

Xiao Zhan looked complexly at Wang Yibo, wanting to talk but he ended up stopping.

Wang Yibo raised his eyebrows and said, “Just tell me right away. I can share the burden with you.”

Xiao Zhan rubbed his palm against his body, before making out a sentence.

Wang Yibo, however, didn’t hear it clearly. “Say it again.”

“Do, do you like me?” Xiao Zhan stared at him, his eyelashes trembling.

Although Wang Yibo had given him mixed signals, he had never confessed to him. It made him look a bit shameless for asking this now.

Wang Yibo glanced at the sweat on the tip of his nose and held in the urge to laugh.

He moved over and pressed his head against Xiao Zhan’s forehead, hoarsely saying, “You finally noticed. I thought I wasn’t obvious enough.”

Xiao Zhan wanted to duck, but it was too late.

Xiao Zhan felt trapped, enveloped in Wang Yibo’s deep gaze and breaths. His face slowly turned red and the response “but I don’t like you” was in his throat.

He was scared of being hit but also scared that the words might hurt Wang Yibo.

In the end, he tactfully and softly said, “But…I am a good friend.”

Wang Yibo chuckled lowly and held in the urge to kiss his white and delicate face, saying in a pampering tone, “Good friends? Psh. I knew a long time ago that you liked me. You used the opportunity while I lost my memory to get closer to me…Good boy, I’ll give you a chance. Call me hubby.”
