"Zim," Shuzhen pulled his hand back as soon as everyone was done discussing the plan. All of them walked out the room, leaving the two.

"Hm?" Zimo turned around, raising an eyebrow at her.

Shuzhen averted his gaze and looked down on the ground, "You're not going to let me marry Yuntian are you?"

Zimo bit his lip, looking down on Shuzhen's hair. He raised Shuzhen's face with his two hands, making their eyes meet, "Why would I let the love of my life marry someone else?"

Shuzhen widens her mouth but before she could say anything, Zimo beat her to it. By putting his lips on Shuzhen's.

The girl closed her eyes, falling deeper into the kiss as Zimo carefully wrapped his arms around her waist with Shuzhen's hands playing with his hair.

Shuzhen groaned as Zimo bit her lip. He was smirking through the kiss, putting his tongue inside Shuzhen's mouth. Her hands moved down to his shoulders, gripping his shirt again.

This feeling is what Shuzhen was looking for. The feeling of butterflies and fireworks playing along in her stomach. Their hearts beating at the same time as their bodies pressed against each other.

The only time Shuzhen felt like this was during the kissing booth. And she now knows for sure that it was indeed Zimo.

They stopped for air as Zimo pressed their foreheads together, "No matter what happens. Promise me. Promise me one thing."

Shuzhen smiled, holding Zimo's hand that was resting on her cheek, "Anything."

Zimo pecked her lips again before saying the words that made her a thousand times confused, "Don't trust Yunyi,"

.·:*¨¨*:·. .·:*¨¨*:·.

"I look weird," Yanchen muttered, fixing the disguise he was wearing.

"You guys are lucky Yanyu knows how to make disguises," Bangbang says, putting some facial hair on Ruibin's face.

"You guys ready?" Xingjie asked, climbing inside the van. They had just finished circling the neighborhood incase any unexpected situations occur.

"You're also lucky that my parents are out of town," Jeffrey said, sitting in the driver's seat. It was his family's van and he just took it without permission. "So this better work."

"It will," Zimo nods, seeing Shuzhen, Yuntian and Liu Wei walked out of the house.

"Wait, is he gonna do it?" Xiao Gui asked, leaning on the window. They saw a familiar girl, wearing a maid costume as she flips her hair back and forth.

Yanchen widens his eyes, "Holy shit! He did not -!"

"Step 1, in order to ensure Shuzhen's safety, Zhou Rui will apply as a maid," Xingjie explains the plan.

"How did you persuade him?" Peiyao asks, closing the buttons on his shirt.

"I didn't have to," Zimo replied, feeling angered by Yuntian's sudden touch towards Shuzhen. "He cares for her so much that he's willing to do everything for her."

Xingjie nods, pointing at a car that just arrived, "Step 2, hire Kaihao as the driver."

Kaihao wore a hat and sunglasses with a uniform to go with it. He grinned as Liu Wei hopped in the car.

"He will pass through all the streets that has heavy traffic in order to buy us some time," Xingjie adds. "And step three, we help Yunyi pretend to be Yuntian so that we can save Yilong with you guys acting as Liu Wei's new lackeys,"

Peiyao notices the exchange of glances between Zimo and Xingjie, but he chose to ignore it. But he knew something was up. Peiyao found it suspicious that everytime Xingjie explains the plan, he looks at Zimo first.

This isn't the end of the plan, is it?
