Wang Yibo's POV

I placed my chin on Zhan's shoulder as I listened to him talking to his parents, "so also a hotdog?" Zhan took a twirl of my hair, playing with it as I smiled, not able to hear the response on the other line.

"Does dad wants sauce with his hotdog?" Silence as Zhan continued to play with my hair.

"With what kind of sauce does dad wants his hotdog then?" I bit back a little smile as Zhan twirled my hair around his finger, making me realize I had to get a haircut soon.

"Does dad only wants curry sauce or also with mayonnaise and onions, mom?" Zhan sighed as I blew a little air inside his air, getting him startled and squeaking.

I flashed a smile as Zhan continued to look at me, pouting with accusing big doe eyes that Suo'er uses too when he wants to get something.

"So dad wants a hotdog with mayonnaise, curry and onions? And a-ah, it was not a customer; it was just an f-friend who startled me a little." Zhan looked at me, his eyes widening as I held my head oblique.

Zhan looked at his phone, clicking on something as he placed the phone on the counter, eyes wandering towards the door of the shop before he spoke up, "mom, you're on speaker now; why did you want me to put you on speaker?"

"Can you hear me, the friend of my son Zhan Zhan?" I bit back a laugh as I answered, "yes, miss Xiao."

A giggle got heard on the other line as the voice of a young lady was heard again, "if you're free, can you come by with Zhan, since I know my son and he doesn't have many friends. Something in the way he spoke makes me believe you aren't just a friend~".

"Mom!" Zhan groaned, burying his head into my chest as I laughed, hugging him while patting his back.

"I would love to meet you, miss Xiao, and by coincidence, I am free this afternoon, so I guess we will meet soon." A triumph laughs as if she had won the lottery got heard on the other line as Zhan continued to groan, hitting me with his fists.

"We will meet soon, talk to you later, Zhan Zhan, and don't think that your mom is stupid just because she is getting old, huh!" I smiled as Zhan looked at me, pouting, and then the line disconnected.

"Do you want to tell your mom?" Zhan hummed; it sounded more like a thinking hum instead of a replying hum.

"Since I met your parents, it would only be fair if you met mine, but I just want to warn you, if they propose to you for me, please just reject it." A huffing laugh escaped my mouth as Zhan pouted, burying his face into the crook of my neck again.

"I am serious, Yibo!" I continued to laugh, not realizing Lily had walked into the kitchen until she spoke up.

"Back in college, his parents never approved any of his girlfriends because Zhan was their tiny precious baby and no one would be good enough, and now mister and miss Xiao don't care any longer as long as they won't die knowing their son will live as a hermit. They even thought I was Zhan's girlfriend the first time he introduced me to his parents." Watching Lily say this with a straight face caused Zhan to flush even brighter, and I couldn't help but laugh endlessly.

My ears perked up when I heard the bell, meaning a customer stepped in; Lily glanced out of the door, shrugging her shoulders as she called out, "Shi Lin, we're here!"

Wait-

Shi Lin?!

It can't be-

"YIBO?"

"SHI LIN?"

Zhan looked at me, face blushing and blinking his eyes, "you two know each other?" I coughed, unable to answer as I stared at Shi Lin, who had been holding Suo'er, who had jumped from her lap.

"Wang Yibo is my cousin, Zhan," Shi Lin said quietly, her eyes sharp.

Suddenly the puzzle pieces clicked together inside my mind.

"That means that your girlfriend is LILY?" I turned to point at Lily, only to be faced by air.

"Took you long to realize, Yibo, but you had always been a slow one." Shi Lin flicked my forehead as she kissed Lily on the cheek with a smile.

She was so two-faced.

"Yibo ge ge! Yibo ge ge!" I looked down, feeling something tugging at my pants.

I crouched down, holding my arms open for Suo'er, who didn't hesitate to jump into my arms for a tight embrace.

"You two act like you haven't seen each other in decades while it has only been some hours, didn't Suo'er miss his own daddy more?" Zhan pouted, looking at me accusingly again as if I had stolen his child!

Suo'er came to me by himself!

I pouted back at Zhan, and Suo'er looked between Zhan and me.

"But- I love daddy very much too!" Suo'er pouted too, and as Zhan and my eyes met, we both burst out in a peal of laughter.

"Yibo, I want to make this clear, I don't care that we're family and bonded by blood; if you hurt Suo'er, I will haunt you." I frowned, glancing at Zhan ge, who had taken Suo'er from my embrace and was now playing with his chubby cheeks.

Cute.

"Why?" Shi Lin impassively raised an eyebrow, slowly talking as if to imply on each word, "I don't like to see Lily sad, and Lily doesn't like to see Xiao Zhan sad, and Xiao Zhan doesn't like to see Suo'er sad. If Suo'er is sad, Xiao Zhan will be sad, what makes Lily sad, and I will get sad if my girlfriend is sad and if your parents know I am sad, they will get sad too because we both know your parents adore me more than you. And if your parents come to know you're the reason everyone is sad, you better run." I laughed at Shi Lin's logic, knowing it was true though, my parents did adore Shi Lin a lot as a child.

When I was younger, it was always the two of us, Shi Lin and me.

Before I met Zhan, kids used to bully me, when Shi Lin noticed, she beat them all up for me, and when the principal confronted us, wanting me to say it was my mistake just because the principal was the father of one of the bullies, Shi Lin hit out principle square in the face.

Believe it or not, eight years old Shi Lin held quite some power in her fist because martial arts was her life; it ran in her blood.

It was the reason we moved to a new place, but before that, Shi Lin had somehow convinced her parents to hack into the school systems as both her parents were important business figures holding much power, and when they had access to the truth, they leaked the video.

And that was how the image of the principal got tainted and destroyed.

No matter how annoying Shi Lin could be, she was and would always remain my devilish cousin who would have my back.
