ENDLESS LOVE_ZHANYI [COMPLETED]

Chapter 15

"I feel sorry to be a burden." Zhan said to break the silence. "No need of it. We are friends now Zhan Ge." Yibo said with a smile. "Do you really want to give me that respect?" Zhan asked while smiling. "Why not ? You're my senior. I'll owe you all my respect. Zhan Ge. " Yibo uttered pressing more at the last words and giggled. 

Zhan giggled back at him. They joked along and talked about. It was a good drive of half an hour. They were smiling and laughing about. 

They reached Zhan's house. "Do you mind having dinner here ? It won't be any special, but it'll be a thank you bonus for today." Zhan said while kept on his broadest smile. " I don't mind." Yibo said. They entered Zhan's house to see a frowning Mrs. Lee. "I'm sorry Yibo. I didn't mean to reveal. I didn't do for harm. Forgive me." Mrs. Lee uttered in a shaky voice. 

"Auntie it's fine now. It's past now. You settle the dinner for us. He's guest here." Zhan said with a smile to assure her. "Oww ! Good . Good then. Sit a while. I'll serve it soon." She smiled at them and left. 

While eating Zhan's dad was whining and sulking like a child. He wasn't in a mood to eat. "Dad at least not in front of a guest. This is the reason I avoid my friends to home. I'm sorry Yibo." Zhan hissed in anger. "Don't worry. I'll try." Yibo said and turned properly towards Mr. Xiao. 

"Uncle. If you don't eat I'll no longer bring chocolates to you." Yibo said in a serious tone, just like we scare a child. " No. I love chocolate. I'll eat . I'll eat." Mr. Xiao already started digging in. Zhan smiled how easily Yibo made his dad eat. He felt warmth. He felt happy. He wanted the time to pause. He didn't want anymore trouble to hurl on him.

But is it always the way we dream of our days? No right. Zhan wasn't aware of what to come, but decided to enjoy that very moment. 

Yibo left for home. 

Zhan went up to his room and checked his phone. '9 missed calls.' He was confused on seeing Yubin's missed calls. He decided to call him. "What is it? 9 Missed call." Zhan asked. " Bloody bastard. You disappeared the whole day. You fucking alive to call me back." Yubin screamed at the call. 

"Fine fine I'm sorry." Zhan said dryly. Zhan explained the whole situation to him. They talked quite long. "I'm tired. I need to sleep." Zhan said and they hung up. Zhan was feeling little better. He was smiling when he laid to the bed at his back. He turned his head and faced Yibo's T-s at the night stand. "Good night friend." He whispered and smiled. After a while he dozed off. 

Meanwhile Yibo was a blushing mess. He somewhat already felt a part of him ditching Youn. He couldn't deny. "But this is for good, right? Youn Ge don't want me. But does Zhan Ge feel the same?" Yibo talked to himself while laying on the bed. He pressed the pillow at his face when he felt blushing harder. 

He too slept with a happy face. It was a start of new journey. But will be a long one to finally be 'them'.

Next Morning 

Yibo was talking to the lady in the gallery. They were discussing about the money that she collected from the ground that evening. 

"Hey you. You're Wang Yibo right." Yibo heard a voice trailed in ears, it sounded too hoarse. "Yes. How may I help you sir." Yibo still replied in politeness. "I'm Yubin. Zhan's friend. I need to talk to you." Yubin yelled about. 

"Auntie excuse us please." Yibo said to the lady and she left them. Yibo lead Yubin to the bench, where the settled to talk. 

"Why are you after him. Once he paid you 10,000 Yuan. And now he paid with 100,000 Yuan. What is it? Do you want him dead?" Yubin screamed.  "Calm down please. I can explain you." Yibo said while gesturing his hand at Yubin to make him calm. 

"Do you really want to fool him with your naïve face? You may fool him, but not me." Yubin hissed little quieter. "You're misunderstanding me. Please listen." Yibo continued. "So now that I'm here. Fucking tell me everything." Yubin screamed again.

Yibo clenched his fist in anger. he wasn't a guy to take it, all. "Calm down if you want to hear. Or fucking leave." Yibo yelled back. Yibo tried to tell his part.

 "You need to know, Zhan never had an affair with anyone before. I see him flatter at you. You're fucking affecting him. But don't you take him for granted." Yubin uttered and stared at Yibo. Yibo felt happy at those words. But he can't show it right? "I won't. We are just friends. Is that okay to you?" Yibo said maintaining his composer. 

"Do you know what he needs to do to pay you off.?" Yubin yelled. "What he does?" Yibo wide eyed at Yubin. "He had to...." Yubin's words dried down. He can't reveal about underground boxing. He can't risk two lives close to him. " to....?" Yibo uttered in confusion. 

"You don't need to know." Yubin whispered. "You just need to return back the money. Is that clear.?" Yubin pinned the words at Yibo. " Okay. Please take this and hand it to him." Yibo offered the envelop of money in his hand. "No, Not me. You must give him back yourself. He's not a person who easily takes back money on giving to someone." Yubin said. 

"Fine. Tell him to visit me here. I'll give him on my own." Yibo assured. " I can't. Don't tell him I met you." Yubin said in nervousness. "Why?" Yibo asked in confusion. "Just don't." Yubin said and walked off. Yibo stood there in confusion. 

Zhan reached at the gallery by eight as Yibo's instruction. He was welcomed by the lady at the gate. "What is it?" Zhan asked on seeing Yibo from behind. 

"You came." Yibo said and approached to him with a smile. He dragged Zhan by his hand. "To where ?" Zhan asked. "You'll see." Yibo stopped at the other end and walked up to a properly covered painting. He brought it and gave to Zhan. "Take." Yibo said. 

"What ?" Zhan somewhat confused. " Now I'm not that of a terrific person to take your money for free. Am I?" Yibo asked smiling. Zhan chuckled. "This is a painting I chose to sell you." Yibo pointed at the wrapped painting in Zhan's hand. "If you don't like. You can return it. I'll return the money to you." Yibo murmured. " Said who? I'll keep it. I liked all the paintings here. Let's see what you chose me. " Zhan said and tried to unwrap the cover. 

" Okay. Red- Thread theory. Is it on us now?" Zhan smiled at the picture. Yibo blushed and lower his head. Zhan ended up laughing hard.  

" And take this too. This is extra money you paid. Keep it to you. " Yibo said while handing the envelop, still blushing a little. " Ahh! I don't need this money back. If you feel bad, then you can buy me food with this."  Zhan said after thinking for a while. 

"Zhan Ge ! I need to feed you for weeks to use up all the money." Yibo giggled. "Then do so." Zhan smirked. "Fine let's go eat something now." Yibo said with a smile. 

"100 Yuan." Yibo exclaimed on seeing the bill. "Why? Is it too much." Zhan smirked. "If you only have a meal of 100 Yuan. Then I can feed you for a month or so." Yibo chuckled at Zhan. 

" But can't buy costlier food and waste it. I'm happy with this." Zhan said while looking at his dish. "Just admit already. You want to eat longer with me." Yibo tried to tease.

"So full of yourself right. So much." Zhan teased back. " Really? I heard you didn't ever had a lover." Yibo said smirking. "Who told you?" Zhan asked with wide eyes piercing Yibo's orbs. "Won't tell you." Yibo laughed at Zhan.  They giggled around. 

They climbed few more steps closer.  The journey to love.
