Zhan POV

"The most important aspect about being an undercover agent is being able to adapt to any situation, and be anyone when required" I said "We have to be chameleons"

Yibo nodded in understanding. I still couldn't believe I'd agreed to this madness. Unfortunately being helplessly in love with him had its side effects. One of them being that I couldn't refuse him in anything he wanted. I didn't doubt Yibo's ability to do this but I worried about him. 

I was good at my job but even I had to face death more than I bothered to keep count, and imagining Yibo in those kinds of situations just disturbed me.

I cleared my throat "We have to always be one step ahead of everyone else, physically, mentally, you name it. That's why our training is more rigorous than any other, not just on the body but the mind as well" I said "You have to know how to defuse a bomb in your sleep" I teased, and he chuckled.

"Is your training a lot similar to that of soldiers?" he asked solemnly. "A little, though our training is subjective; it doesn't just focus on one aspect only" I said and he nodded.

"So what will I need to learn?" he asked. "Combat, weapons training, and everything in between" I replied.

I gestured for him to come closer; I hated this part of the training, I couldn't possibly teach Yibo how to fight, not the right way. "Take your best shot," I said and his eyes widened, "You mean like hit you?" he asked and I nodded puzzled, he knew this was part of the 'training'.

"I want to see what I'm working with" I said then eyed him suspiciously "Are you having second thoughts?" I asked, a little hopeful.

"No, I can do this" he said, and positioned himself he threw the first punch in my direction and I easily ducked it. "Huh nice shot" I said, actually meaning it. His fist was fast and firm. He beamed "But it's a little sloppy, put your both fists up" I said.

He complied and I continued to set them right, advising him on how to throw one without damaging his own hand. "Alright again, successively this time" I instructed, and he complied, he started to get irritated when none of his shots got me, I laughed.

"Are you trying to kill me?" I teased ducking more shots. "Yes, given that you keep dodging my attacks" he muttered. I chuckled grabbing his wrists to stop him "Rule number one, never let frustration get the best of you. You have to be patient and tactful when attacking," I advised and he nodded.

I continued to show him the basics, he was a quick learner and much to my disappointment; he looked promising. His drive and stubbornness were an advantage on his part, it would get him through training. I didn't dare tell him that though, I didn't want to strengthen his resolve to do this. 

My only hope now was that Bill wouldn't buy his crazy idea, but that he turned him down. I would gladly leave the agency if need be, nothing was more important than being with him. "That's enough for the day" I said, the sun was already beginning to set. Besides, watching him work up a sweat was doing terrible things to my body.

"How was I?" he asked as we walked back to the house, "Good, you still have a long way to go" I said monotonously. "I'm terrible aren't I?" he asked crestfallen, I didn't have it in me to put him off. "No, you're just a beginner. You'll get better" I lied, he did too well for his own good, I watched him smile and I sighed inwardly.

"So we're going home right?" he asked, and I nodded

"We better start packing," I said and he raised his eyebrows "We're leaving now?" he asked, and I shook my head. "From this island, in few hours... but we'll be staying in Bermuda for a couple more days, we got invited to a charity auction ball" I added.

"A ball in which couple dance?" he asked. I nodded "It's going to be fun, trust me" I said, not wanting to blow the surprise I had been planning for him.



Back from loading his luggage in the speedboat, I found him getting ready in the bedroom. I leaned against the doorframe watching him. He ran his fingers through his hair absently and my gaze followed the gesture. He smiled when he saw me, "I'm curious as to how is this ball works," he asked, I realized this was Yibo's first time, I had attended more parties like this past the point of fascination.

"Actually I was informed that it's a 2-part celebration, the first is a beach party at St. Catherine and then an art auction at St. George Hall. I'm guessing that's where the ball will be held," I said, walking up to him and leaned down to kiss his neck. He turned around "Sounds like fun" he whispered, his hands on my chest.

"Hmmm" I breathed, bushing my lips against his silky skin "Are you ready to go?" I asked lifting my head, before I change my mind and carry you back to bed I thought.

He just nodded; I noticed he too was trying to keep his hands to himself. The level of intimacy between Yibo and I always astounded me, all I wanted to do was make love to him every second of everyday. I was never satiated. I chuckled inwardly as I pulled away from him and we headed downstairs,

"I'm going to miss this place," he said as I locked the door. "We can come back here anytime you want, little one" I said, puzzled by his sadness. I knew he loved the place, but leaving was his idea. "I know, it was just amazing here," he said wrapping his arm around me as we walked towards the speedboat.

I smiled as I helped him in; glad he had a great time. We sped away back to Bermuda.


Matthew was waiting for us at the docks; he helped whenever we wanted to travel around the city. I told him to take us to a hotel I booked for us. When we arrived the hotel attendants brought our luggage up to our suite, I tipped them and they bowed and went out.

I looked at Yibo who was examining the suite in quiet appreciation "It was the only one I could get at short notice," I said. "No, I like it" he said "Only you can get a five-star suite at 'short notice'." He added sarcastically and I chuckled. His sense of humor was one of the many things I loved about him; it was refreshing.

"I have to run a couple of errands," I said "The celebrations are tomorrow, you might want to visit a couple of shops. You don't have a Tuxedo, do you?" I asked as I pulled out one of my black credit cards and gave it to him.

He frowned looking at the shiny card; I hid my smile. He always hated it when I gave him credit cards to use. That's why I always had A-li and A-mi to get his things; he seemed more accepting when it's from them. Besides my cousins loved shopping for him, but they weren't around right now.

"Don't fight me on this please" I said, he groaned and took the card "You should start getting used to it, you're going to have your own very soon" I added. I kissed him before he could start his protest. He let out a frustrated moan; kissing me back, I pulled away. "I have to go" I said, kissing his nose "Matthew will take you anywhere you want to go, I'll see you later" I added releasing him.

"Damn you" he cursed breathlessly, I chuckled and turned for the door, "I love you too" I replied and went out.
