special chapter (five)

"No!" Chaoze exclaims from his seat. "We are not going! And I'm not taking either of you,"

"Chaoze, come on," Yanjun butts in. "We all know how the fairyland has given us so many opportunities. The land gave me my bestfriend,"

Zhixie nods, approving, "It gave me my bestfriend, too."

Luo Zheng looks at him with a soft expression, "Why thank yo -"

"Not you!" Zhixie says as he pointed at Chaoze, "You always taught us not to give up, maybe it's time we tell you the same."

Yanjun nods, "Fairies helped us once. It's time we repay the favor."

Chaoze sniffed. It was evident in his eyes that he was trying to hold back tears, "B..but Luo Zheng... Zhixie.. we couldn't save -"

Zhixie quickly shook his head, "Our fairies tried everything. We were just too stubborn to listen to them."

Luo Zheng got the memo and smiled at Chaoze, "Besides, what would Kunkun and Boogie say if we leave their land in ashes?"

Chaoze was about to say something but was cut off when a certain someone walked inside the office. He was speaking to a taller guy.

"I'm telling you - why don't we kidnap Zhangjing - OH!"

"Boy shut your mouth or I might have to shut it for you!" Yue Yue said, removing his coat and putting it down on the table. He looks at Yanjun, "I picked up your package."

Yanjun nods and look at his friend, "You ready to meet Zhangpang's human form?"

Dinghao shows off his warm-hearted smile, "I'm ready."

.·:*¨¨*:·. .·:*¨¨*:·.

"Are they talking or fighting?" Yuzhu asked Yanjun who was quietly standing in front of Zhangjing's guest room.

Dinghao and Zhangjing were somewhat bickering inside the room. They were talking about some curtains, remote and food.

"Hard to guess," Langyi interrupts, leaning on the door frame. "Do they know each other before?"

Yanjun shrugs, "You could say they were once friends."

Yuzhu furrowed her eyebrows and saw Langyi scratching his head. He suddenly walked away, walking into the elevator.

"Babe, is this about the thing we talked about last night?" She asked her boyfriend who was busy tapping his foot on the floor.

Yanjun sighed, putting his hands inside his pocket. He finally had the guts to tell Yuzhu everything right after confronting Chaoze about their world.

Yuzhu was surprised - of course, who wouldn't? She came back from the dead. But what shocked Yanjun wasn't Yuzhu's lack of reaction about her being a zombie. It was what Yuzhu said that really made Yanjun determine to go to fairyland.

"If fairies save me, isn't it our time to save them?"

"Yuzhu, if we decide to go to Chaoze's land, I want you to stay here."

"No," Yuzhu protests. "I want to help."

"You can help by staying safe," Yanjun whispers, "I can't bare to lose you again."

Yuzhu peck his lips before running her thumb over his soft cheeks, "And you won't. I promise."
