Code name:Z.H.

I yawned as i waited for more trainees to arrive.

It was the debut showcase.Zeyu was in already but why was it taking so long for the rest..More specifically the two trainees Huang Shuo and Zhang zimo.

Zuo hang smiled empathetically as he walked over to give me his jacket while his friends cheered on.

"You're just building up the dating rumours."

"Let them..give them something to entertain themselves with right now."He said winking as he handed over the jacket.

I wanted to reject it but it smelt like him..and it had a calming effect.Somethong soft and sweet..and completely like Zuo Hang.

Zeyu just looked like he had expected it and gave me a knowing smile while i rolled my eyes.I had come to enjoy bantering with Zeyu and i realised how much he was just like a brother to me with all the constant back and forth which was nice considering how i had almost no one.

Finally,the last of the trainees came and i couldn't help but notice Zimo.He could easily have been that popular student for his good looks and his charms.He knew how to instantly light up a room.He had piqued my interest and curiosity.

I sat on the grass as i watched the clock on the ground and its hands.Zhu zhixin was the fastest one and i was not surprised.I did a bit of background research and i didn't even do much because Zeyu and Zuo Hang did all the talking and i just realised how much the trainees really looked up to him even though he was a few years older.Next was Su Xinhao.A black horse.All i knew was that he had a big fanbase and he was really talented.I couldn't tell much of his personalities.After that was Zuo hang and then the rest.

Looking at the back,it was mostly the trainees who had trained the longest with 8 years of record.It seemed more of a way of public shaming then a light-hearted game.Then i noticed Zimo and i went to the Audio guy to see what he was talking about.

I smiled to myself as i saw how easily he bonded with Tong Yukun and the rest.

"Yilin."One of the monitors said.It was coming from Zeyu's microphone.I looked up to see Zeyu speaking into his microphone as close as possible.

"Zuo hang looks really jealous.I'd suggest maybe to not wear his jacket while staring lovingly at other males."I read.

I almost burst out laughing at the way he phrased it.I looked back at Zuo Hang and he looked annoyed.

Note to self:stop staring at Zimo.

I layed on the grass and my eye accidentally caught a man in a black jacket who looked eerily familiar.Not wanting to scare the trainees,i slowly backed into the forest where he was.

Looking around the green forest,i could easily spot him.

"What are you doing here?"i asked as i carefully slipped out a pin filled with anesthetic.

"I thought you were dead."He replied.

"Takes more than that to kill me."

"So Zuo Hang huh?"He chuckled,his voice laced with threat.

"What about him?"

"You seem to like him..a lot..makes a good target to take you down."

"Leave him out of it."I said as i slowly inched closer towards him.

"Then give us the heir."

"Why?Why do you need him so badly?"I asked as i was so close.

"Because his family has secrets we want and need and don't think i don't see you."

I gasped as he suddenly turned around and punched me in the face.I wiped the blood from my nose as i started to go on defence,blocking his moves while trying to insert the needle.

"Yilin?Where are you?"Someone called,catching the attention of the man.I finally plunged the pin into his skin as the anaesthetic worked quickly and knocked him out.I tied his hands together and called out for a car to take him away as i rejoined the group.

Wiping the blood from my nose,i noticed the directors packing up as each trainee had a key.

"Yilin?You're bleeding!What happened out there?"Zeyu said as he rushed to me in concern.

"Nothing."I said as i cleaned the wound on my face.

"Don't tell me it's nothing."Zeyu said as he tore out a part of his uniform and wrapped it around the wound.

"Damn Yilin.."Yuhan said as he came to me with bottle to clean the wound.Mu ZhiCheng brought a chair out for me to sit.On a normal occasion i would've shrugged off their help but Zeyu looked mad so i'd rather not.

Zeyu gingerly cleaned up my blood before disinfecting it with a spray that Zhang Junhao brought.It was nice to see them uniting them to help me but it felt weak.

"Where's Zuo Hang?"Zhu Zhixin asked.

"He went to help pack up..I'm hoping he wouldn't see this yet or he'd-"Zeyu was cut off when Zuo Hang appeared.

"Who did this to you?"
Author's note
How are we liking this book so far?Because i am running out of inspo🥲🤡

Also Zeyu seems like a good second lead considering their friendship..should i make him end up with Yilin instead🤔
