Fake

*Slap!* A slap sound echoed from the staircase near Xiao Zhan's ward. The man who got slapped was shocked.

"Don't give me that face. You deserve it" Zhuo Cheng said with crossed arms. Hai Kuan grabbed his hand with a smile "You're right, I deserved that, I was wrong"

"You don't deserve to hold my hand either" Zhuo Cheng said but Hai Kuan smiled wider "Yes, I don't deserve to hold your hand but I still want to"

Zhuo Cheng pulled one hand away and raised it up and Hai Kuan immediately shut his eyes, bracing himself for another slap.

Hai Kuan peek open his eyes to see a red, teary eyed Zhuo Cheng who was trying to control himself. Finally, Zhuo Cheng landed light slaps on Hai Kuan's chest without stopping.

Hai Kuan smiled and grabbed Zhuo Cheng's two hands, pulling Zhuo Cheng into his embrace, one hand stroking his head, the other stroking his back.

"I'm sorry, I must have scared you. I'm sorry I didn't come back to you sooner. I'm sorry I let you suffer by yourself" Hai Kuan gently said.

Zhuo Cheng finally cried, wrapping his arms around Hai Kuan while throwing out curses and complains. Hai Kuan chuckled as he responded to Zhuo Cheng while hugging him tightly.

Hai Kuan cupped Zhuo Cheng's face and gave him a peck before kissing him. Zhuo Cheng kissed back for a minute before harshly biting down on Hai Kuan's lower lip.

"Your punishment! Why are you hard?!" Zhuo Cheng spat out as he moved away. Hai Kuan chuckled "You looked so erotic when controlling your tears, exactly like how you look everytime I thrust inside you-"

Hai Kuan's mouth was covered by Zhuo Cheng's hand while Zhuo Cheng gave him a death glare, making Hai Kuan chuckle and lick Zhuo Cheng's palm.

Zhuo Cheng jolted up and immediately took back his hand. With a red blushing face, he mumbled "Disgusting!" and went back to the ward with Hai Kuan following tightly.

Meanwhile, Yibo was shocked to hear that he pushed Xiao Zhan's beloved sister away. Xiao Zhan had always talked about her and anyone who bullied her would not be spared.

"Zhan, how are you?" Yibo asked, worried, directly hugging Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan's heart skipped a beat in happiness, but then the smile slowly disappeared from his face.

Yibo's shirt stinked of alcohol, perfume and sweat. It was very crumpled and Xiao Zhan did not even dare imagine who laid a hand on him or even worse, what activities Yibo did to someone else.

Xiao Zhan pushed Yibo away and tucked himself under the blanket as he shut his eyes, back facing Yibo.

Yibo was of course unhappy to see this. Yibo decided to pick Xiao Zhan up in bridal style and run the hell out of the hospital and return to their home and lock the doors tightly.

Before Yibo could do anything, he was punched and fell to the floor. "Y-Yibo!" Xiao Zhan's eyes widened in shock.

But the next moment, Xiao Zhan's head was smacked. "You did a good job turning around, what are you getting up for? Lie back down and turn around!"

"Ge...!" Xiao Zhan protested. He then blinked at Xuan Lu with a pout and sparkling eyes but his head was smacked again "Don't look at Jie like that!"

Yibo wiped his mouth and got up but before he could do anything, he noticed his brother standing there. "B-Brother?!"

"Come with me" Hai Kuan said to Yibo and walked away. Yibo hesitated, looking back at Xiao Zhan, but Zhuo Cheng immediately blocked his view. Hence, he followed his brother out.

"Brother, you're not dead?" Yibo finally asked when Hai Kuan stopped at a corner near the ward.

Hai Kuan nodded "I met an old friend at the convenience store after I left home, realising that father found out about my identity as an undercover police officer.

My friend was rushing to his wife in labour 2 cities away so I lent him my car... But I didn't expect...

I spent the night at a hotel nearby but the moment I found out about the news, all I could think was going to his wife and newborn baby.

After all, it was because of me that his wife lost her husband and his newborn baby lost his father before even seeing him once... It was all my fault..."

Hai Kuan was more depressed as he said that. How could he have not suspected that his car was tampered with? It's all because of him that he destroyed a happy family.

"Brother, you would not have expected it. It was not intentional. It is regretful but you are not at fault" Yibo pat his brother's back.

Hai Kuan however, shook off Yibo's hand. "After that I decided to stay low, seeing how father and mother held a funeral for me. But that did not mean I wasn't watching all of you"

"I have explained me hiding myself but you? How can you treat Xiao Zhan like that? You looked so happy but all of a sudden, you started drinking before going back, to the point where u stayed out the whole night!

Is it fun? Buying so much alcohol and locking yourself in the hotel room, spraying perfume on yourself and leaving lipstick stains on your clothes before going back?" Hai Kuan scowled.

"H-How did you know?" Yibo asked, feeling a lump in his throat. "Yibo, you make me feel so disappointed. How can you treat Xiao Zhan this way when he obviously brings you so much happiness!" Hai Kuan scolded him.

"Brother! Don't be fooled! I love him to the point where I have decided I can ignore everything he did! But it's all fake!

He accepted money from our parents just to leave me! He planned all this and got close to me only for 15 billion dollars! I can give him much more than that! Yet he chose money over me!" Yibo cried out.

Yibo was never one to be emotional but he could not hold it inside. Why? Why must the person he love be fake too?

"You!" Zhuo Cheng lunged forward but was caught by Hai Kuan. Zhuo Cheng spewed out all kinds of vulgarities and thrashed about while being restrained by Hai Kuan.

Zhuo Cheng stopped, still feeling angry. "You told Xiao Zhan that they were no longer your parents! Since they are no longer your parents, then they have no rights to ask Xiao Zhan to leave you!"

Zhuo Cheng wanted to land a few hits on Yibo but seeing Hai Kuan holding him firmly, Zhuo Cheng angrily left.

Hai Kuan shook his head "Yibo, you were too angry to check properly. Did you not realise that Xiao Zhan never bought any expensive items? That he still worked his part-time jobs?

Yibo, Xiao Zhan took that 15 billion and secretly divided it out to help certain families. These certain families are families that our parents have destroyed.

Yibo... You... You should have trusted Xiao Zhan. Don't you have faith in the one you choose?" Hai Kuan sighed.
