Chapter 64 (Lovely Dovey)

After that they had stand up and thank the audience and sit back in their seats. Zhan pulls Yibo hand a little close to him, he put it at the side of his thigh which forces Yibo to lean his weight towards Zhan. The hall in the light has dimmed down as there were some cultural performance going on. So, Yibo is confused now, then he turns towards Zhan and find that Zhan is actually not looking at the performance but he is staring at himself.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Heartbeats sounds were heard between them.


Yibo's eyes were stunned when he saw Zhan was actually looking at him. The light was dimmed but that dark eye orbs cannot be mistaken, there is no one that had that and beside they are just sitting next to each other, however, YIbo thought it was his illusion. That boy did something that is out of the world. He uses his hand to fan in front of Zhan, this is an involuntary action, Yibo also don't know why he did that but he just did it. His arms seems to have it own's command. The hand that had been held by Zhan was somehow having a light squeeze which was felt by Yibo and then the hand that had a slight to swap fan was somehow caught by Zhan other hand.

Now, Yibo was even more shocked, his physical body starts to have reaction which is far more violent. His hand starts to shake and he tremble when both hands are caught by Zhan. Of course no one saw it, as the light has been dimmed further because now the performance involved some performers doing some fire dancing. With the lights almost totally off, the fire stick held by the performance are like fire wheels, people are all clapping their hands in excitement but only Yibo and Zhan had their own world of their own excitement.


Yibo felt his heart thrumbing too fast, and his face feels like the fire wheel is just inches away. He doesn't know what to do, so he sweat profusely and it is so cold, the cold sweat of his inner tumour that he had never felt before. So, now, his hands are cold, so cold that he trembles slightly, this kind of feeling when he is in fear, when his father took out a belt to wanting to hit him. Now, no one wanting to hit him, Yibo had another kind of fear. He in still not sure but the fear of the unknown had trigger the cold sweat.

Zhan on the other hand was just acting out on his own, his actions were the imploration of his long suppressed love for the boy. He just couldn't help but stare at the boy, the dimmed light had given him more courage. However, he did not expect the moments of Yibo fanning in front of his eyes. He just uses the other hand to catch the hand that is fanning him. He holds it for a second and he starts to feel Yibo's hand trembling and then it starts to turn cold. He knew that Yibo is having some kind of a reaction there but he cannot see him now cause there is total darkness in the audiences now, all eyes are on the front as the performance is indeed impressive. However they both are not looking in the front but just feeling each other hands in the dark.

Zhan is now too worry, he was afraid that he might have been the cause of the coldness in Yibo, so he lean towards Yibo and asks

"Your hands are cold, what happened?" Zhan asks very softly, of course only Yibo heard as the others are all mumbling with amazement at the performance.

Yibo himself doesn't know what happen to his body reaction, he is indeed in a sea of lost, so he reply on the most reliable person in his life now

"I don't know" Yibo told Zhan in small voice

Zhan hesitated for a while, he is now seriously worry about the boy, so he released the one hand that he is holding on the fanning hand and he lean forward to touch the boy's forehead, seriously worrying about him. It was supposed to be in totally darkness, and the little light from the fire on the stage didn't help at all, so Zhan's hand touched the lips instead of the forehead and the slim fingers is now finding his way upwards. The slim fingers linger on the high pointy nose that move very gently and slowly like it is finding some treasures or an artefact that requires very much care. It was not hasty or rush, it was done with very much care, like Yibo is a baby that has very soft and sensitive skins that required to be done in the utmost gentleness.
