CHAPTER 23

Someone fell. Unstable and bleeding. And it was not Dan.

It was yibo. He has been shot in the area above his heart. The gun fell out of Dan's hands, she moved back. The stench of blood, the tention of seeing 2 bodies in front of you.

"Fuck...fuck, fuck,fuck fuck fuck! Yibo get up, it's not funny. Man he's bleeding. Ahhh!!!" Dam was panicking. She had just killed someone. More like, 2 people. Zhan wasn't waking up either. The sound of the gun shot alarmed the neighbors. Someone came running to see yibo and zhan on the floor with a girl who has blood on her clothes.

The neighbour ran, screaming and frantic. Dan picked the gun and thought for a second and did something she knew she should not. She shot zhan who was still unconscious on the floor. She shot him the stomach and leg. Blood splattered everywhere. She ran and ran until she couldn't see the area in sight.

16 years ago, Beijing. W

" Mr Bai, these are the kids who are over the age of 3. Kids, say your greatings to Mr.Bai, he is here to take one of you home."

"Good morning Mr. Bai!" The group of sang.

"Good morning."

"Continue with the your drawings children, Mr.Bai will talk to you later."

"Okay sir!" The kids were amazing. They were obedient.

"Let's go to the office when you make your Choice."

"Can we talk to that girl over there?"
"Kf course. I'll leave you two for the privacy."

Bai saw a girl about 8 years old, she was coloring a book. She was not different to naked eyes, but to Mr and Mrs Bai, she was an extraordinary girl. She appeared to be mature.

"Hello, can we talk to you?" Mrs Bai asked the girl. She politely said yes and bowed before saying good morning.

"Aww you're so polite. What is your name?"

"Chu An. That was what the teacher calls me, but she says that I can change my name when the good angles accept me as their child."

The conversation with the child warmed the hearts of the couple who decided to adopt the girl and name her as Dan zhaosi. She was intelligent,polite and took good care of their younger son, Bai Fuyu.

(8 years later)

"Happy birthday Dan Dan!" Wished the entier family. It was Dan's 16th birthday, she was happy.

"Mom dad, can I say something?"
"Of course honey!"
"Thank you. Thank you for making my life better. I always pretended to be happy when I was at the orphanage to be true, but I was not happy. I remembered my birth mother and her face was too similar to mine. Looking at my face remained me of her. She truly hated me. She said my face remained her of her boyfriend who left her with a curse.

Mother, I truly I was terrified of her. She would beat me everyday and I hated it. When I came back from school one day,she was dead on the couche due to over dose. I was even more scared to know that now I was alone.

I was moved to the orphanage and I stood silent. Until miss xiao came. I love miss xiao for taking care of me there. I love you two and fuyu for loving me as I was your own flesh and blood. Thank you so much, mom, dad and Fuyu.."

[ fast forward to the year of Mr Bai's surgery]

"Doc,doc wait. What is my father's condition now? What will he be after the surgery? How long will it take, what--" Dan was cut off by Xiao zhan.

"Ma'am, calm down. We will try our best to save your father. His condition has worsened due to the sensory overload. Do not worry. And stay calm."

3 hours later.

Dan and her family got the news of Bai's death. Everyone was remorseful but Dan was infuriated. She was angry at the doc who couldn't save her father. Her angel who saved her and gave her a new name, a new life.

She filed cases against zhan but when she found out that her family has agreed to letting the doc go without her knowledge, she decided to take Revenge illegally.

She stalked yibo and zhan for 5 full years to the date, 22nd November 2022, when she shot the two.

(Present)

23rd November 2022

Day of the Funeral.

Everyone was dressed in black, remorse and pain could be sensed. The funeral was the worst place to be in. No one wanted him to die. Everyone loved him. Both zhan and yibo were shot, but only one survived. And it was not zhan.

The funeral was being held for zhan who couldn't survive the surgery due to past medical issue. Yibo on the other hand, has lost the control of his legs after being shot in them by Dan before she ran away.

He was experiencing the same pain, again. He was seeing the pale face of his lover again. He was not smiling, not speaking to him like in those excruciating 4 years. But this time, yibo had no hope. A person doesn't die when he stops breathing, he dies when he looses hope. He lost hope.

The funeral was conducted and yibo was taken home by zhan's sister. Yibo has requested a full time caretaker from her because he wanted to live alone. She and her husband were reluctant at first but agreed later on.

27th may 2023

Yibo was sitting on his wheelchair waiting for his caretaker.
When the caretaker entered the room, yibo froze. The guy had a striking resemblance to zhan. He was tall, skinny and had a face similar to zhan.
'this must be the new caretaker' he thought.
His fashion was similar to zhan's as well. He was walking towards yibo, until he was not. He tripped and fell.
"Ah fuck!" He cursed under his breath.

"Oh I am sorry. How are you sir?," The caretaker asked.

"I am good. How about you? Did it hurt when you fell? It's quite slippery, the floor. " yibo asked the man.
"Oh I'm fine. I'm used to falling all the time. And yes, the floor is indeed slippery."

"Yes, may I ask your name?" Yibo asked.

"Yes sorry I didn't introduce myself. My name is Xiao Jin. Nice to meet you Mr.Yibo. Mrs Yanli told me about your situation."

"Nice to meet you, Jin. You're an amazing person to take on the task of taking care of a cripple. "

"No no, it's okay for me. I do not worry at all. May I ask you something?"

"Yes, of course."

" you were an idol, weren't you? Why did you quit?" Yibo froze. The only thing he saw then was zhan asking him the question. His eyes welled tears.

"Oh shit I'm sorry. I did not mean to bully you, I am so sorry sir. Please don't cry." Jin was visibly panicking.

"It's okay. I am sorry, I remembered something. And yes, I was an idol. I retired to take care of my late boyfriend. You cak ask me about him anytime you want, that way he will always be remembered."

"Yes sir. I am sorry for your loss. My sister was a huge fan of yours, that's why I was curious."

The only one he could see in Jin was zhan. Jin was unbelievably similar to zhan.

It was comforting for yibo, he was near someone he loved. Although, indirectly, he was near zhan.
