Cinderella's brother [boyxboy]✔️

05 The offer

Xiao Zhan quickly detached himself from the arms wrapped around his waist and backed a few steps when they were assaulted by a loud mini crowd. A crowd led by his sister who started tugging frantically at the prince's wrist:
"Yibo Ge! Yibo Ge, come quickly, someone wants to talk with us, I mean with you and me!
Someone very important!
Look, he gave me this business card!"

"Not before your brother will answer my question!", Yibo shook off his hand from the girl's grip, while not breaking eye contact with the boy before him.

Xiao Zhan's eyes were oscillating from Wang Yibo to Qing Mei and back, the words 'FAMILY COMES FIRST!', flashing like a discotheque stroboscope inside his brain, so he whispered in a cracked voice:
"Lao Wang, I don't understand what you were talking about, I only met you once, two days ago in the park, I'm sorry!"

"What?
You two have met before, in the park?
What's happening, and what did you ask him and why are you waiting for his answer?!!!", the girl screamed hysterically, shaking violently Yibo's arm.

"I just asked him if the red notebook with song sheets that I found in the park is his or not.", the prince replied, deciding that it wouldn't be safe for others to know about what only him and the ball of sunshine were knowing.

"Oh, it seems like some sort of a god of fate wants you to find all of my lost things!
You found my lost red purse, now you found my dear notebook, thank you my wonderful GeGe!", Xiao Qing meowed, snaking her arms around the prince's neck and kissing him fully on his lips.

Yibo pushed her pretty hard, gritting his teeth in annoyance:
"Don't you dare to kiss me again, never, never again, understood?!
And how come the notebook is yours? As far as I know your brother is the song composer, not you!
Besides, why would his name, Xiao Zhan, be written on the cover?"

Qing frowned, but she recovered quickly:
"The notebook was a present from my brother and it's his name written on it because he was too stingy to buy a new one for me, so he gave me one from his old notebooks which he didn't get to use , because... Because he never went to college, you know.
As for him being a composer, please, it's the biggest joke I have ever heard!
You already heard me singing, I have a lot of talents besides my nightingale voice, I can act, I can write poems and songs, I can kiss...and I can do lots of things which I could show you later...
I already told you that he is an idiot and a big liar!"

He intended to ask the girl about the school dancing ball, but his attention was captured by the beautiful face that was sparkling not from his usual bright smile, but from the tears flowing down his soft cheeks.

"She's right...", Xiao Zhan whispered, struggling to smile, while pushing away the hand stretched out to wipe his tears.

Wang Yibo was so tormented by that pain written in those pretty eyes, that he didn't react fast enough to stop the boy from running away and disappearing in the darkness of the club.
He had no power left to fight against Xiao Qing, who was hastily dragging him who knows where.
