Strategic Marriage

Chapter - 46

It was the middle of the night. Wang Yibo was sweating while mumbling something in his sleep. He seemed to having a nightmare.

Xiao Zhan was wake and noticed Yibo's discomfort. He sat up and started to patted Yibo's cheek.

"Yibo, Yibo. Wake up." Zhan said softly.

"Don't touch.... don't touch. Help me. Someone help me. Mom, don't leave. Don't leave me alone. Zhan, I didn't mean it. Don't hate me. Don't leave me." Yibo kept mumbling.

Seeing that Yibo didn't wake up, Zhan shook him violently and finally Yibo woke up.

"Finally, you are awake." Zhan said and sighed in relief while leaning against the headboard.

Yibo blinked at Zhan and then sat up straight. Zhan was startled by Yibo's action and leaned towards him.

"Are you okay?" Zhan asked softly and Yibo shook his head.

"You are here?" Yibo said in a low voice.

"Of course, I am here. I am right beside you." Zhan said and hugged Yibo.

"I thought..." Yibo said and gulped the lump on his throat.

"I thought you left me." Yibo said and clenched Zhan's clothes tightly.

"Who said that I am leaving you?" Zhan said and looked down at Yibo who was also looking at him.

"Didn't I say that I want need some fresh air? You just panicked for nothing." Zhan said.

Hearing Zhan's words, Yibo didn't say anything. He looked down and snuggled closer to Zhan's chest. He felt warm and safe in Zhan's arm and it made him want to cry. He bit his lower his lip hardly to prevent himself from crying but a drop of tears roll down from his eyes wetting Zhan's cloths.

Zhan was observing Yibo's movement silently. He saw how Yibo was preventing himself from crying.

"Don't bite your lips hard or else it will bleed." Zhan said and gently pulled Yibo's lip from Yibo's teeth.

After Zhan's pulled Yibo's lips out, Yibo sobbed and buried his face on Zhan's chest.

"If you want to cry then cry out loud. Don't surpass it. If you are embarrassed then I won't look at you." Zhan said and hugged Yibo tightly.

Hearing Zhan's words, Yibo started to cry out loud. He felt aggrieved and poured his heart out through tears.

Zhan felt that someone was stabbing his heart as he saw Yibo cried bitterly in his arms. His eyes started to turn red as he hold himself back from crying. He hugged Yibo tightly and rubbed Yibo's back to smooth Yibo. He occasionally kissed Yibo's hair to show his support.

It was already dawn when Yibo was tired of crying and fell asleep on while curling himself in Zhan's arms.

Zhan wanted to lie Yibo comfortablely on the bed. As he tried to move Yibo from his chest, Yibo whimpered and clenched Zhan's clothes tightly.

"It's okay. It's okay. Go back to sleep. I am here." Zhan whispered softly near Yibo's ear and Yibo relaxed.

Seeing Yibo relaxed, Zhan sighed and leaned his back on the headboard. He closed his eyes and tried to take a nap as he was tired.

Zhan was sleeping peacefully but he frowned when he felt something hot on his body. He struggled before opening his eyes and stared at Yibo who was still sleeping.

Zhan touched Yibo's forehead and found it hot. He sighed as he understood that Yibo had fever.

Zhan lied Yibo on the bed and felt his body sore and numb. He stretched his arms a little and took his phone from the nightstand and called Gu Wei. He informed Gu Wei about Yibo's condition and told him to come to check on Yibo.
