Surrendering To You - ZhanYi (Completed)

Chapter 24

Xiao Zhan didn't come to bother Wang Yibo late at night. He went out to do something and returned when it was already dawn.

He started preparing breakfast for Wang Yibo.

What would Wang Yibo like to eat? He decided not to ask, fearing it would worsen his mood. Wang Yibo could be a bit temperamental in the morning, and now it might be even worse.

So, before knocking on Wang Yibo's door, Xiao Zhan advised himself, "Don't get angry at him. He's just in a bad mood."

Xiao Zhan spent a considerable amount of time preparing the breakfast. In addition to the usual dishes, he also baked some pastries because Wang Yibo wasn't feeling well. Xiao Zhan thought that sweets might cheer him up.

He pushed open Wang Yibo's bedroom door, and thankfully, Wang Yibo was still hiding under the covers, not having left him.

Xiao Zhan's tense mood relaxed a lot. He set the breakfast aside and gently played with Wang Yibo's hair.

"How about we get up now and have breakfast?"

Everything was not much different from the perfect life he had once anticipated. Wang Yibo's hair was still his beloved chocolate brown color, his eyes were still a soft amber hue, and his hair was just as soft and would still sway with the wind if a breeze blew by.

However, Wang Yibo's lips lacked a smile, and his eyes lacked the familiar affection Xiao Zhan knew so well. This was not right.

Wang Yibo's smile was sweet and sunny—it should never disappear.

So Xiao Zhan pleaded, "Please smile for me?"

Wang Yibo lifted his eyelids and only gave him a cold gaze in return.

Disappointed, Xiao Zhan withdrew his expectations. He felt anxious, but he couldn't show it. Wang Yibo was just waking up, so his mood might not be great, and Xiao Zhan couldn't afford to get angry with him.

"Let's have breakfast then. You didn't eat anything yesterday..."

Wang Yibo sat up and interrogated him, "Do you think I have the appetite for breakfast?"

"You must eat."

Wang Yibo found Xiao Zhan's desire for control unreasonable, and his aversion reached its peak.However, Xiao Zhan couldn't sense his disgust and continued, "Or maybe you don't like these. I'll make something new for you."

Wang Yibo lifted his wrist, exposing it.

"Unlock it."

"No."

"I need to go to the bathroom!"

Xiao Zhan helped Wang Yibo untangle the chains and explained, "The length is just enough for you to go. I measured it."

Wang Yibo angrily got up.

Indeed, the chain was just long enough for him to reach the bathroom. Wang Yibo felt a headache and looked down to see the gap on the door. Xiao Zhan had thoughtfully made a hole in the door to facilitate his bathroom visits, ensuring that the chain wouldn't prevent the door from closing.

An overwhelming sense of powerlessness engulfed him.

What were they even doing like this?

What more did Xiao Zhan expect to achieve? Did Xiao Zhan still hope that after what had happened, they would still be together, living as intimately as before? It was impossible for him to do that.

Impossible.

In the past, when he thought of Xiao Zhan, he would feel warmth and familiarity because they were the closest people in the world, and he wholeheartedly believed in his partner.But now, when he thought of Xiao Zhan, he could only recall the helplessness and deep fear from that night.
