•••••••••

Wang Yibo waited patiently for the words of the black-haired man in front of him. Even as he sat there in the darkness, he could still clearly see the big, bright eyes of the man in front of him.

He hasn't touched a single part of his body, yet he knows perfectly well that the man who is nervously playing with his hands is trembling at that moment.

As he made his way there, he thought about it over and over again. He debated whether he should know the truth or remain in ignorance.

He was afraid, he loved the person in front of him but he had realized that until now he had not seen even a quarter of his true self..

He was scared to know, he was scared that his world would fall apart with that truth. He was sure of one thing, he would not stop loving him, even here he was betraying his older brother for him but the fact that that love was so strong also meant that when the truth came out the blow would be more painful.

- I'll start by saying that everything I told you before... - The black-haired man paused. - About our father, our theater and how it all ended... is real. Even what I told you about my work in the fields and my trip abroad, all of that is true.

- I understand.- He nodded.

- I went to Romania when I was 18. At that time, a famous circus had come to the country, they put on a wonderful show. - He smiled. - I was still in love with those magical shows, they reminded me of my father all the time, so after talking to my brother, I went and insisted to the organizers that they hire me.- He looked up and sighed. - Luckily, my talent captivated them.

- How long did you stay there?

- I came back at 23.- He smiled.- Even though I loved the show and the earnings I got were very good, I missed my brother and I knew very well that even if he didn't tell me, he missed me too. Sean took care of me even when I was in Romania.

- Zhan...- He squeezed his hands together.- This robbery thing....- He lowered his gaze and lightly bit his lip.- Your theater and everything you have....

- I figured you'd want to know about that.- He smiled.- Everything I have is legal, it's the product of my effort and not...- He denied.- Not a single cent of those robberies has been used there.

- How? You told me that when your father died you were left broke.

- Well... - He stood up and sat next to the brown-haired boy. - The first thing you have to know is that even what my brother has... belongs to him legally.- He smiled again.

- I don't understand.- He was confused.

- Well... - He let out a giggle. - My brother is... a widower.

- What?!.- He looked everywhere.

- Let me tell you.

That night, Yibo not only learned about Zhan and his life, he also learned about Sean and how, in a stroke of luck, Sean had become a widower and heir at just the age of 24.

Yibo heard the story of how young Sean had unwittingly captured the attention of the wife of his then boss. The black-haired young man, who at that time was already indifferent to the world and what surrounded him, had managed to attract the attractive woman who used a thousand and one tricks to catch the cute young man.

At first, that seemed unpleasant to Sean. For Sean, it was not acceptable that a 35-year-old woman was behind a young man of just 17. That lady was beautiful, voluminous and charming, but she was not someone who could catch the dark-haired man's attention.
