Surrendering To You - ZhanYi (Completed)

Chapter 28

Due to excessive exhaustion, Wang Yibo had to spend the night at the Xiaos' residence. Before going to sleep, he drank some plain porridge to ease the hunger-induced spasms in his stomach.

He was so tired that he almost collapsed and paid no attention to how dangerous the Xiaos' den was. He simply lay down beside Xiao Zhan's resting bed and fell into a deep sleep.The lingering feeling of hunger awakened him once again.

After waking up, Wang Yibo's mind was not as hazy as it had been in the past two days. He quickly freshened up, grabbed a couple of snacks from the table to satisfy his hunger, and prepared to leave.

Xiao Zhan was recuperating in bed, covered in bandages, and his pitiful gaze seemed as if he was about to be abandoned. He stared at Wang Yibo with eyes filled with sorrow.

Wang Yibo couldn't help but feel conflicted.

Should he take Xiao Zhan with him? Xiao Zhan had so many injuries, and he might not be able to take care of him properly. Besides, they hadn't reconciled yet. It would be better to send Xiao Zhan to the hospital. However, Xiao Zhan refused.

"Are you going home?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Wang Yibo lowered his gaze and replied, "Yes."

Xiao Zhan asked again, "Will you take me with you?"

Wang Yibo didn't know.

Originally, he had thought that they should have no further ties between them. But Xiao Zhan had just narrowly escaped death, and he couldn't find the strength to blame Xiao Zhan anymore.

The person in front of him couldn't be seen with a normal mindset. It was as if without his love, Xiao Zhan didn't care about anything anymore.Xiao Zhan suddenly said, "Don't be like this."

"What?" Wang Yibo asked.

"Don't be troubled. I don't want to see you unhappy" Xiao Zhan replied.Xiao Zhan struggled to move his left hand, wrapped in bandages, and sat up with great effort.

"Take me home with you. I want to be with you, but I won't insist on getting back together with you, nor will I do anything extreme towards you. I just want to be by your side. I don't need to go to the hospital, these are just superficial injuries. I can handle changing the dressing and removing the stitches myself. If you're not ready yet, just take me home first. I won't confine you. You can treat me as your roommate. Would that be okay?"

Wang Yibo knew that this was already the biggest concession Xiao Zhan could make.

What else could he do?

"Understood" Wang Yibo replied.

The Xiaos' car drove them back home. Standing downstairs, Wang Yibo looked at the place where he had been confined before and felt uncomfortable. He didn't feel like going upstairs. Xiao Zhan seemed to sense his emotions and said, "We can find another place to stay."

Wang Yibo nodded, then shook his head. He saw familiar furniture, which reminded him not only of the humiliation he endured while being imprisoned but also of the sweetness they experienced during their university days. He was torn, his brow.

The touch of the bandage crawled up his forehead, and only then did Wang Yibo remember to ask, "What happened to your injuries?"

"Xiao Ruhai caused them" Xiao Zhan replied.

"What about your leg?"

"I jumped from upstairs to see you and got injured in the process."

"And your face?"

"I scratched it in the grass."

Wang Yibo shook his head, took out his phone, and said, "I'm not good at cooking. Let's order takeout."
