MIRAGE

•••••••••••

- How are you?.- Yibo walked holding Zhan's hand.- Did you have a good time?

- Very well.- Zhan smiled.- Your family is very nice and your mom is lovely.- He sighed.- Something tells me that if my mom were still alive she would be like this.

- Seeing as you are, I think it was.

- What?.- He sketched a half smile.- A jerk?

- You are not a jerk.- He stopped.- Why do you say that?

- Well, because I am.- He sighed.- Yibo, you only know one side of me. You only know the nice part. Don't you hear the comments in the theater? They're not wrong. Before you came, I used to be abrupt and distant with people, you could even say I was disinterested, and it was all because I didn't want them to get close to me, much less have any kind of contact with me. None of that interested me.

- What made you like this?

- Life.- He took his hand.- I want to tell you about myself, about my past....- He paused.- But it's a sad story and to be honest I wouldn't want to ruin this moment because right now I feel very happy.

- Then I will wait until you are ready and I will listen to you carefully.

- Thank you.- He caressed his cheek.

- I thought you two had already left.- Xiao Ce and Yunian approached .

- We're already on our way.- Yibo smiled at him.

- We're leaving too.- Yunian put his arms around Xiao Ce's shoulders.

- I'll go get the car.- Xiao Ce slapped the hand holding him and walked away.

- Wait for me here.- Yibo spoke to Zhan.- I'll go get the motorcycle.

- If you want, I'll go with you.

- No.- He smiled.- You better go with my brother, I'll be right back.- He ran to the parking lot.

The last thing Xiao Zhan wanted was to be left alone with Yunian Volkov. Since early in the morning, he had been trying to stay calm and not run away. Even though he had spent a pleasant time with Mrs. Wang, he couldn't help but feel like a little mouse under the gaze of three hungry cats.

Whenever he exchanged glances with any of the officers, he reminded himself to remain calm. He didn't want to give himself away, much less arouse suspicion. It had been a tough test for him, but since it was Wang Yibo, he was more than willing to face it.

- Zhan.

- Yes?.- He smiled at the officer.

- I didn't mention it to you before, but when I heard about you and your project, I couldn't help but feel admiration. At such a young age, you have achieved something so great. - He smiled.- It is truly worthy of admiration.

- It's not that bad.- He smiled.- I just put in my effort and took a risk.

- Did you take the risk?

- Yes.- He nodded.- Don't think that everything I have was easily obtained.- He laughed.- If
you only knew that only two years ago my theater was in the hands of the banks.

- Oh yeah?

- Yes, I got everything through loans and sponsorships.

- That sounds interesting.
