Timeless Love [ YiZhan FF ] ✔

Chapter 16

" Why don't you try dating Yeifei ? " suggested Yibo's mother, to which all the people in the dinner table looked at her surprised, the range of surprise varied, it was more of a shock to Zhan and more of confusion to Yibo and happiness to Yeifei. Zhan looked down as he had nothing to say, his eyes almost ready to tear up and just then a loud voice bustled inside the dinning room, Paul came in sitting beside Zhan as he smiled looking at everyone in dinner table " Hey everyone, Hi mama ~ " It was as though a brim of light had entered Zhan's life, he smiled looking at Paul, Mrs. Wang just smiled, she knew Paul would immediately jump in if he found that she been advising Yibo or trying to put Zhan down. So she continue eating without any further words. 

Paul smiled looking at Zhan, while Zhan was silent as he continued to eat, Yibo was still confused on why his mother would say such a thing out of the blue. Yeifei was feeling really happy as she continued to compliment Mrs. Wang, meanwhile Paul had fixed his eyes on Zhan as he noticed he was sad. Yibo had his eyes back and forth at Zhan and to Yeifei, he silently began to eat.

After the Lunch ....

Zhan walked out silently while Paul tagged with him, so that he could drop him at the gate, " Zhan ~ " Paul called his name in a low voice, but Zhan was lost in his thoughts. Paul turned to him held his shoulders and shook him a little "  Zhan ~ " Zhan came out of his trance and looked at him, he blinked a couple of times while Paul laughed " Hello, earth to Zhan ? " Paul laughed once again, Zhan pouted " What is it you're thinking ? " Paul asked while Zhan shook his head " Nothing Paul-ge ~ " he said still maintaining the pout on his lips. Paul cocked his eyebrow up and ruffled Zhan's hair " I've known you for a long time now " Zhan smiled since the statement was true.

Just a Yibo who was searching for Zhan, stopped on his tracks seeing Paul ruffle Zhan's hair in a very loving way. Yibo felt the heavy feeling in his heart once again, he wasn't sure why he was getting them, but he didn't like it, he didn't like the fact that Zhan was wearing a ring, he didn't like the fact that Paul was very close to him and he certainly wasn't liking the fact that Zhan looked at him ( Yibo ) with painful eyes, it was as though he was hiding something from him, it was as though he wanted to say something but every time decides to hide t from him.

While his thoughts drifted himself from the reality, Yibo was bought back to the reality with Paul's voice calling his brother is a loving voice " Yibo ~ " Paul waved once again to get his brother's attention, Yibo looked at him and smiled and walked towards their direction. Yibo stopped in front of Paul and Zhan by his side " What is it gege ? " asked Yibo in a low tone, Paul smiled gesturing towards Zhan " Zhan is leaving home now, thought you might want to send him off " Paul smiled nudging Zhan slightly. Yibo was quick to response by shaking his head " I'm tired gege, I'm going to my room, take care Zhan ~ " Yibo smiled awkwardly as he turned to leave.

Zhan looked sad, while Paul looked at him with even more sadder expression, he lifted the corner of his lips in a soft smile as  a plan came in his mind, knowing Yibo was leaving to his room Paul looked at Zhan and raised his voice a bit high so that Yibo could listen to as well " Ah~ Zhan didn't you tell me you're going back to your father's house for a week ? So sad I'll miss you " said Paul pulling Zhan for a hug. Yibo slowed on his tracks to eavesdrop their conversation, his gaze fixed at the side looking at Zhan from the corner of his eyes. It was true that Zhan made plans to visit his father back at his place, but he didn't make it for a week stay, Zhan was baffled but decided to go with the flow anyway " Ah... Yes Pual-ge, I'll.... I'll miss you as well " he said bowing as he decided to go.

Yibo sighed a he turned back " I'll miss you as well Zhan " Yibo said in a stern voice, Zhan smiled at Yibo's words, he parted his lips to say something but even before Zhan could say anything Yibo had already left the place. Zhan bit his lower lip, while his eyes teared yet his lips still had a soft smile, but his eyes shadowed with sadness seeing Yibo leave the place without any further words, he looked at Paul and smile " I'll go now Paul-ge, take care ~ ".

Paul nodded his head, as Zhan left. Paul looked at the direction of Zhan and smiled in a same painful smile as Zhan, but only Zhan's pain was for the aching love from Yibo, while Paul's pain was aching love from Zhan " If it were me you loved, I wouldn't hurt you this way ~ But then again I love both of you " it was true that he loved Zhan, but he loved Yibo more, his brother meant the world to him and he would do anything to help him out. Maintaining the smile back on his face, Paul walked back inside the house with hands inside his pocket thinking about ideas and ways  to bring Yibo's memory back.

" I'm home ~ " Zhan walked inside his dad's house, because of his father health condition he had decided to meet him, as soon as he walked inside, he was given a big warm hug from his brother which later followed by his father " How are you Zhan ? " his father asked with a concerned tone knowing well that the situation with Yibo and him hasn't resolved yet. Zhan nodded his head and smiled " Enough about me, how are you baba ? " he asked sitting down as his gaze turned towards his brother " How are you didi ? " ( A/N: didi  = little brother )

His brother smiled " I'm doing good gege ~ " Zhan ruffled his hair and smiled, his father smiled looking at him " Didn't I say not to come, I'm alright now " Zhan pouted at his fathers word " I hardly come here, don't push me out, now that I'm here I'll take care of you both for a week " he said getting up enthusiastically. Zhan's dad held his wrist to catch his attention " Taking care us us is well and good Xiao An, what about you ? Are you talking care of yourself ? " he asked in a worried tone, Zhan smiled while holding his hand, he nodded as he controlled not to let his tears leave his eyes. His father immediately noticed it as he made his son sit beside him " If you want to cry, don't stop your tears, let them out " he said patting his son's head, while Zhan nodded his head as tears fell down making cheeks moist. While his father continued to pat his head.
