"Hello! Did he arrived already auntie." Yibo approached the lady in charge of gallery. "Yes master. He's waiting inside." She said and cued him the way. Yibo walked with a smile. He saw the person from afar. "Why does he looks so familiar?" Yibo exclaimed and scratched his nape. 

"What kind of a joke is this ?" Yibo asked in shock when he saw Zhan almost flooded in his own blood all over his face. His hands full bruises and cuts. Yibo stared at him from toe to head again and again. The bright face already turned gloomy. 

"What's wrong with your face again? Such a hoodlum."  Yibo uttered in low tone. Zhan stared at Yibo for a good moment of time. Yibo felt nervous. He lowered his eyes to avoid Zhan's gaze. 

"It's non of your business." Zhan hissed at Yibo with clenched fist. Yibo gulped on his saliva seeing the angry man. He slowly looked up to his orbs. "Sell your painting to me. I'm here with money. " Zhan almost screamed. Yibo dared not talk. He stared at Zhan. 

"Do you here me? Sell me your painting." Zhan slammed his right hand at his right thigh. "Where did you get the money? I didn't ask to disdain you." Yibo murmured keeping his voice low. He saw extreme anger in Zhan. 

"I'm sorry for the other day. I didn't mean to disrespect you. Please hear me out." Yibo was trying to explain. Zhan pulled out an envelope from his pocket threw the money into Yibo.  " What the..." Yibo shouted but his words died down. All the money was spread through out the floor. Yibo was surprised at the behavior. He stared at Zhan , who was chuckling in anger. 

"Do you think you can buy me with money. Look around. It's total of 100,000 Yuan." Zhan said smirking angrily. This was the money Zhan won in the underground boxing. He knew he was risking his future, but had to pay back this shit. 

Yibo stayed silent staring at the flood of money. "Give me the painting that costs 100,000 Yuan." Zhan screamed and pushed Yibo's left shoulder. Yibo stepped back. "Take your money back. I'm not selling it to you." Yibo hissed within his own raising anger.  

"Why?" Zhan left a dry chuckle and walked closer to Yibo. "Don't you rich people like to use money to compensate your guilt. Even if you kill a person, won't you just pay o.." Yibo punched Zhan. Zhan was already weak and dizzy. That sudden force sting his aching body. He tried to look at Yibo and it was darkness that adown him. 

"Hey! wake up. Xiao Zhan. Auntie help me up." Yibo screamed and Pulled unconscious Zhan's head onto his lap. They took him to the nearby clinic where Youn works. 

Nurses came running and took Zhan to the emergency room. Yibo waited outside , checking the time. He walked around the emergency door in curiousness and winsome of worry. 'Why do I have to keep meeting this man? Isn't it annoying already?' He stomped at his feet.   

Youn came out. "What's wrong?" Yibo asked in a serious tone. "Nothing to worry. He's body got too weary. He's fine now and taking IV saline. He can go home soon. " Youn concerned Yibo. "Hmm." Yibo said avoiding his eyes from Youn. 

"Bo! Did he involved in any fight. Wounds on him is definetely not a light fight. " Youn asked. "Hmm ! I don't know either. Haven't told me." Yibo put it short. "Did he cheat on you that you punched him?" Youn teased to light up the moment. 

"Aren't crossing line already? None of your concern. Don't force him on me, since you don't want to marry me." Yibo muttered clenching his fist. It pains him each time Youn teases him with another one. But now he decided to take stand for himself. 

"Fine sorry." Youn said with a smile and excused himself. Yibo waited there until Zhan came out.  Yibo was distracted and didn't see Zhan walking out. When came to his sense Zhan was already walking away. " You. Hey You. Xiao Zhan." Yibo ran and hold onto Zhan's Arm. "You cannot walk away this way. You didn't put on bandages. Do you want to die? " Yibo continued. 

"So what if I die." Zhan snatched at Yibo and pulled himself away. Yibo saw the pained expression on Zhan's face. He understood that Zhan was aching bad. 

"Think of it , if you die. What's gonna happen to your dad.?" Yibo said in a comforting voice. "Aww! I must look really pitiful to you right.?" Zhan uttered in a dry chuckle. "I didn't mean that , alright." Yibo uttered gritting his teeth. 

"Yes I'm poor. My dad is demented. I've to skip meals in order to save coins." Zhan hitched at his word. His voice almost broken. he wanted to wail, but continued to speak with a heavy heart. "But you know what ? Even if I'm poor, I still have dignity. Wang Yibo don't buy me with your money." Zhan whisper screamed at Yibo. 

"I'm sorry for upsetting you. I didn't....." Yibo's words died down. He felt extremely bad. 

"You're so smart. Aren't you? You bought Mrs. Lee with your money and made her mouth shut. How dumb was I to believe that her friend helped me for free." Zhan hissed and bitterly chuckled a long while.  

"Xiao Zhan." Yibo screamed his name in anger. "Don't you dare scream at me. What you think huh? You'll ridicule me whenever you wish and I'll fool myself and eat meal out of your money." Zhan shouted back at Yibo. " Let's leave this place , we're shouting at hospital." Yibo said. 

"Really? Do you really care for people? Or trying to hide the beast that people might get to see?" Zhan mocked. "Enough of it." Yibo uttered and pulled Zhan out the hospital , in one go. "Let go of my hand. Leave my hand or I'll punch you to death. Wang Yibo." Zhan kept shouting while being dragged by the younger man. 

"Ouch!!!" Zhan exclaimed when Yibo pushed him forward and let go of his hand. " This is real hospitability right. Right after we left hospital you push me to road. huh.!"  Zhan chuckled between his pain. " Aren't you done taunting.  Fine I'm sorry for not letting you know. Can you stop it already." Yibo hissed. He tried his best to control his anger. 

Zhan stayed quiet staring at the floor. "I did it coz I knew sorry wasn't enough of what happened that day." Yibo tried to explain. "And what I said last night , was also coz of my mood. I was very upset. I'm sorry. And thank you for taking care of me." Yibo said and sighed. 

Zhan stared at Yibo, with a little calm composer. Yibo felt relief seeing Zhan at ease. "Let's go to my car I'll drop you. Please. Just a friend. Don't think of pity and any other shit." Yibo muttered to Zhan. "I'll go by walking. I've my legs." Zhan cut on Yibo. 

"I know you got long legs. Longer than mine. But let me drop you. Let the past go. Hello ! I'm Yibo. Can we be friends now." Yibo said and put forward his hand. "Umm." Zhan uttered and turned to walk towards Yibo's car. Yibo took back the abandoned hand, "How rude." He murmured. 

They finally settled at the car. "Well.... Uhhh. I'm sorry for being rude and misunderstanding you. Friends." Zhan said and put forward his hand. "Friends." Yibo said with a smile and grasped onto Zhan's hand. 

"Uhh... Can I.. Can I call you Zhan Ge. Since your my Uni senior." Yibo asked while scratching his head. "Whatever you feel to." Zhan said and giggled. 

Yibo started the car. "What's wrong with it. Uff ! Open already." Yibo muttered while struggling to open the car window. "What is it?" Zhan asked. "Not opening." Yibo said still struggling. 

Zhan leaned forward to press the button to open. Yibo flinched. Zhan's face was inches apart from his. He shut his eyes real tight. He could feel the warm breath, just next to his face. Butterflies played in his belly. He mistook Zhan to be trying to kiss him. Zhan finally settled back at his seat when the window got open. 

"What is it? Did you just imagined a kiss?" Zhan teased Yibo , who was flush red staring Zhan with wide eyes. "Shut up." Yibo uttered shyly.  They stared at each other for a while. It was awkward but not uncomfortable.  Zhan smiled at the blushing Yibo.  

Yibo laughed out awkwardly, and started to drive.

Meanwhile Youn mistook it as a kiss , who was watching the whole thing from afar.
