✅The Ocean As My Witness (Zhanyi) (Completed)

5. I found you

Xiao zhan came back to his own cabin and lied down on the fluffy bed. He rested his back on the mattress but a drop of tear flowed down his eyes when sudden beautiful yet painful memories of his childhood flashed before his head.

(Flashback)

It was when xiao zhan was 11 years old, a small boy with pearl white skin, innocent eyes, beautiful face with pouty lips and chubby cheeks entered his life. Wang yibo had a single mother who abandoned him and eloped to marry her  lover. He never got a mother's or father's love and was living with his maternal grandfather since childhood who was suffering from a chronic disease, intestinal cancer, since many years and had died with the same. Until he was alive, he always provided best for yibo and never let him suffer. When he was on his death bed, he gave his responsibility to the son of his best friend. Xiao's were their once business partners, their family friends and the one whom he trusted the most.

Wang yibo, with trembling hands and lowered gaze entered inside xiao mansion. His hands were clutching a soft lion plushie who seemed like his only companion as he was left in the world all alone. But seeing xiao zhan standing beside mrs xiao, he felt happy that he would get someone to play with.

Xiao Zhan rolled his eyes and stomped his feet in anger before leaving for his room when he saw some other child who will be living with them suddenly from now on. Although he knew yibo's story but still accepting someone who will also invade your privacy is little difficult isn't it!

"Hello gege my name is wang yibo and i am 6 years old...will you become leo's friend?" Yibo entered inside zhan's room in order to befriend him. He bit his lower lip cutely and directed the plushie's hand in front of xiao zhan.

"G..go away" Xiao Zhan clenched his fingers in dissapointment as the small boy was almost successful in breaking his cold self.

"Gege is very bad, leo and yibo are not happy with gege..aahh gege" he looked towards the floor and turned to leave his room.

Xiao zhan became furious when yibo called him bad so he grabbed yibo's small hands and pulled him harshly. Yibo became scared when zhan slammed him against the wall.

"What did you say with this little mouth huh? Who is bad?" Xiao Zhan growled and tightened his grip on yibo's hands. Yibo became scared and looked down while clutching leo with other hand as his eyes started to become teary. Soon, his lips quivered and his body trembled and he bursted into tears.

"You- you are bad gege. I won't talk to you ever. I will go back, I won't disturb you uwuuu." He shouted in tears and tried to break zhan's hold around his arm.

Zhan's trance broke and he blinked repeatedly when yibo said he would go back. He knew the little boy had nowhere to go. Leaving yibo's hands, he blowed air to soothe his now reddened arm for it must be paining due to his hard clutch. "Gege is so sorry, stop crying please. Yes you were right, I am so bad that i treated such a good, pretty boy like that. Please don't talk about going back, i will treat you right, I promise.." 

Yibo pouted and shook his head in denial. "You are liar". Xiao Zhan sighed and chuckled "Then what do you want gege to do in order to make you believe him huh?"

"Umm Hehehe give a kiss on my palm, grandpa said that promises get sealed like this and you have to play with yibo and leo, also you will allow me to sleep with you, yibo is afraid of dark" he smiled in tears and extended his palm towards Xiao Zhan.

Zhan smiled and placed a kiss on his palm and they both giggled. Yibo interlaced him one arm with zhan while he was grabbing leo tightly with his other hand. Coming out, zhan's parents smiled when they saw that yibo has already befriended him. It was too difficult for others to befriend or even talk to him but yibo did it in few hours after coming there.
