Wang Long's parents talked nonstop. Yibo was too afraid, he had caused problems for Zhan ge. He was ready to bear anything but he couldn't bear to have his gege angry with him. The main Yibo whose consciousness resided in this body was itching to speak but this Yibo's personality was too depressed looking at Xiao Zhan, he couldn't speak.

There were also witnesses to his behavior earlier and sure, they over exaggerated it when they spoke. All the while, Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo said nothing.

"Zhan ge, it's not the way it happened", Yibo finally said something after more than 30 minutes. Xiao Zhan finally raised his head and forced out a smile. He held Yibo's hand and spoke.

"I know you Yibo, I believe this was not what happened. Why don't you explain everything to me when we get home?"

Seeing that he might let him off so easily, Wang Long's parents called Xiao Zhan all sorts of offensive names and threatened to call their lawyers.

"I know nothing about the law but I can vouch for whatever Yibo tells me. Though not widely practiced, there is still an aspect of the law that protects special persons like himself. If your son is found guilty of inciting him or faking his injuries, he would be tried as an adult and a minimum of 20 years jail term awaits him, consider it properly. I wouldn't like to drag Yibo's name to the eyes of the public but if you do so, it may not end in your favour. Again, consider it properly and ask your son if he wants us to carry out an investigation".

Wang Long's mother kept talking, threatening to go for a full-scale investigation but seeing Xiao Zhan's resolute look, Wang Long felt fear creep into him.

"Ma, no need for that. It's not so serious. We all know Yibo is prone to tantrums. Let's take this as an unfortunate encounter and let it go".

Saying that, nobody spoke any further but everyone knew in their hearts who was telling the truth. Xiao Zhan placed his hands around Yibo's shoulders and pulled him away.

"Zhan ge, I'm sorry I caused you trouble", Xiao Zhan wasn't angry but Yibo felt he needed to say something.

"You didn't cause me any trouble, this incident just made me think a lot. You hate it here, don't you? Well, you don't have to come back. How about I teach you at home so you can write your exams and get your diploma?"

This day turned out too well. Xiao Zhan was letting him stop school?

"Yes! I promise to give you a good result".

Xiao Zhan laughed. It didn't matter whether he made it or not, Yibo would be just fine.

"Why don't you tell me what really happened over a cup of ice-cream?"

Xiao Zhan unknowingly ended up eating two cups of ice-cream.

......

Four years had passed since then and Yibo was now a famous artist. Xiao Zhan had started a center for children with special needs where they hired professionals who could give the children the education they deserved.

At first, people were still ashamed to bring their kids over but when Yibo got famous and it was made known that he grew up special, people began to see it in a different light. He never failed to mention his gege everywhere he went and people got more comfortable sending their children over there.

While Xiao Zhan got the necessary training needed, he allowed the professionals handle things, simply overseeing the operations of the center.

"If I had teacher's like you back then..."

"Let me guess", Xiao Zhan took over when he noticed Yibo found it difficult to complete his sentence. "You'd have liked it in school and you'd have concentrated in class".
