It was early evening. Zhan didn't want to waste more time caressing or resting for his body. He was already Putting up his stall , for selling. "Brand new bags. Have look. Come ! This way." Yubin's voice kept ringing on his ears.

"If you're not well. Just leave already. I told you , I'll divide my money for few days." Yubin uttered seeing Zhan's painful appearance. It was hard for him already. "I'm bless to have you Bin. But I'm fine to work." Zhan assured Yubin with a forceful smile plastered on his face. 

  "Have a look. It's not very costly. But warm to wear." Zhan started mumbling as he trailed his hands again again at the clothes on his stall. Yubin still stared at him, with pity in his eyes. 'This guy deserves better.' Yubin thought to himself and turned away his face to pay attention on his own stall. 

"Hmm! Take this." A voice said. Zhan could see the jiggling bag in front of him. He looked up and finally caught the person's orbs. "You..!" Zhan was cut off. "Yes ! Me. Medicines. I bought you medicines." Yibo uttered while hanging the medicine bag at the edge of the stall. 

"Huh! feeling pity on me. No need." Zhan scorned Yibo with a bitter chuckle. "No. I'll Put it for you." Yibo stuttered while taking out the meds from the bag. "I said no." Zhan babbled with seriousness. He slapped away Yibo's hand that was nearing to his face. 

"Don't let me put force on you. Then don't blame me , you get few more bruises , getting hit by a junior." Yibo teased as he approached Zhan's face once again with his hand.  Zhan felt he was at loss of words. he just starred at the young man moving his hands closer and finally it touched his wound near his eye. "Tssk.." Zhan flinched at the sudden pain.

"Don't move. " Yibo instructed. "Hmm! done. Take this. put at the other wounds too." Yibo said at handed the ointment tube to Zhan. He turned back and was about to walk away. "Wait." Zhan mumbled and Yibo froze at once. "You don't need to thank me. It's just a goodwill." Yibo uttered without turning back. 

"So full.! where's the cap of the tube?" Zhan said in a whisper tone. Yibo flushed red. He was embarrassed. He didn't manage to look at Zhan and just gave the cap with one hand and walked off in a clumsy manner. 'Ahh ! you .' Yibo thought as wanted to punch himself.  

"Who's he?" Yubin smirked at Zhan once Yibo was fully gone. "Friend." Zhan tried to cut it off. "Friend! I see . Which friend puts meds in the lips." Yubin was in his mood. "He put it beside the eye. Just a friend." Zhan said and turned away.

Meanwhile Yibo decided to visit Zhan's dad. He was nervous. He stood by Zhan's door and heave a sigh. "Is anyone in there. Hello!" Yibo asked while knocking the door slightly. Few minutes passed and there was no reply. Yibo looked carefully and he saw the door was locked from outside. It pained him again. 

Zhan's door didn't even had a proper lock. It was locked using a spoon through the lock holes. He sighed and pulled out the spoon. The door opened itself as it was loose. He stared inside. Seeing no one he stepped in. 'I'm not a thief. Why does it feels like this?' Yibo thought to himself as he stood at the living room. He stared at the house. It had a small dine table, and a pair of old -fashioned sofa, a small kitchen nearby. 

He put down the fruits by the dine table that he was carrying. He slightly walked around the room and a frame hanging on the wall caught his eyes. It was Young Zhan with his brightest smile holding onto his mom's and dad's hands. Yibo's eyes lit up at seeing that smile. It was really breathtaking. 

"Ahh! Hey!" Yibo screamed. He was startled as he was suddenly hit by something on his head. He hold onto his head and turned to look around. "You, burglar. What are you stealing in my house." Mr. Xiao asked Yibo while pointing a stick at him.
