Chapter 26: Waking up at Meng Yao's

Here we goooo!!

Enjoy this new chapter <3 <3 <3

Xiao Zhan's POV

The moment I woke up I remembered what happened so I sat up in a hurry ready to defend myself. I was a little dizzy but nothing I couldn't handle. I was surprised that I was alone but that didn't mean I was disappointed. Being alone is a luxury right now and I had time to think.

I looked around the room and my mood changed. Everything inside here from the furniture, their colors, the color of the walls, the decor... This is close to the idea of how I would furnish my bedroom. Of course only if my life wasn't as miserable as it was right now and I had a house or an apartment of myself.

Meng Yao and I knew each other for about 5 years and we have been best friends for the same time. That was before I got to know what kind of a person he was. Without questions, he knew a lot about me but that he could furnish a room exactly according to my ideas was weird because we didn't speak much about stuff like this.

Now I needed to find a way to leave here. I wasn't scared. Well, maybe a little, but at least I was sure that he wouldn't hurt me. If he wanted to, he could have done it already but as he had feelings for me, he wouldn't. I tried to think of a way to leave here but I couldn't find a solution. And even if I could, I didn't even know where I was. I looked out of the window but all I could see were trees. But they looked different from the house I lived in with Meng Yao.

My phone wasn't with me so I couldn't call for help. I sighed in frustration and wanted to scream.

Just then the door opened and Meng Yao stepped in. I was surprised to realize that the door wasn't locked. I didn't check that earlier but seeing one hell of a big guy standing in front of it I was relieved I didn't.

"Zhan...." Meng Yao called me with a smile and sat down on a chair next to my bed. "I am glad you are already up. For a moment I thought these idiots used too much of the drug. How are you feeling?"

"What do you want, Meng Yao?" I asked him without answering his question. I was still tired but I tried my best to look strong.

"Isn't that obvious? I want you." He answered. "But don't worry. I would never do something to hurt you. I just .... want you here with me. Where I can see you, where I can make sure you are safe and where you won't get hurt."

"Is that all?" I asked and he frowned.

"What do you mean? I love you, Zhan. You are safe here with me. I know.... I know your feelings for me aren't as deep as my feelings for you. Albeit it hurts me I won't hold it against you."

"You love me, yet you keep me here against my will?"

"I have to keep you safe. He will only hurt you. He did so once and I won't let him do that a second time." I knew that he talked about Yibo. "I know you hate what he did, Zhan. I will make sure he won't come close to you again. He will never be able to lie and hurt you again."

"I forgave him." I didn't know why I said that but I wanted him to know.

"Did you forget what he did to you back then? And if that is not enough he did it once again!" Meng Yao was annoyed and I shook my head.

"I didn't and I won't ever forget it. But I forgave him already. He made a mistake and I know he is repenting." I answered and stared at him. "What do you mean he did it again?"
