The Little Prince's Lonely Star

CHAPTER FIVE

"SHARING A ROOM"

The first thing that Wang Yibo saw when he woke up was the face of Xiao Zhan who's peacefully sleeping... He's supposed to be getting up now but instead he decided to stay in bed and silently looking at the guy beside him...

In his life, he's never been this close to a certain person... But when it comes to Xiao Zhan, he never cared at all... Maybe because it's the first time that someone has given him warm... Every time Xiao Zhan smiled at him and every time he patted his head, it feels like someone gives him a sense of security...

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan open his eyes and got startled when he realized that Wang Yibo is staring at his face...

"Zhan Ge..." he called him in a low voice...

"I-It's early in the morning and you're trying to put a hole in my face..." Xiao Zhan said while covering his face with his two palms...

"Zhan Ge..." he called out again...

"What?" he said while trying to avoid looking at him again...

Xiao Zhan is really not used to waking up with someone beside him in bed... He usually sleeps alone all his life...

"Zhan Ge, how about staying here with me rather than renting an apartment here in Beijing?"

He couldn't help but raised his eyebrows by this sudden offer.

"W-Why?"

"Huh?"

"Why are you letting me stay here?"

"Hmmmnnn, do I need a certain reason for letting you stay here?"

Xiao Zhan, let out a deep sigh and got up from bed...

"What if I'm a bad person? What if I'm taking advantage of you? What if---"

"But you're not, right?"

"You should not trust people right away..." he said and then look at Wang Yibo who's still laying in bed... "Get up... I'll prepare breakfast for us..."

While Xiao Zhan is making their breakfast in the kitchen, Wang Yibo keeps on watching him and smiling so silly...

"Zhan Ge, why don't you think about it? You said to me before that you wanted to save money to buy a hearing aid for your grandma..."

"Bodi, let's stop this conversation and besides------"

"Are you worrying because you'll be staying here for free? Then you can cook for me just like this. Zhan Ge, these days I feel like I'm choking to death of being alone. So please think about it..." Wang Yibo said truthfully.

Choking to death of being alone---- that line struck in the head of Xiao Zhan... He pitied the boy of saying that sentence... He suddenly remember the day when he first met him. Wang Yibo was alone and sick during his birthday... If it would have been him, it must be very sad...

"W-Where are your parents? Why are you living alone?" he curiously asked.

"If I answer that question, will you stay here Zhan Ge?" Wang Yibo cunningly also asked him.

He coughed hearing that...

"T-That depends on your answer..."

"Well, I leave my parents home when I graduated high school... I wanted to became independent back then..."

"You're not planning to go back home?"

"There's no need... My parents are not always at home, so why bother?"

Xiao Zhan sensed a little bit of bitterness to Wang Yibo's answer... Though he didn't have a parents growing up, it didn't erased the fact that he usually got jealous for those people who had a parents who's still with them... However hearing the boy saying that thing to him, he felt that Wang Yibo grew up without the tenderness of his mother and father...

"Then... I'll stay here..." he said and then he go back to what he was doing.

There's no turning back to what he just said... He felt like Wang Yibo really needs someone's company... And since he's his first friend in Beijing, he just agreed without further thinking...

(Author: You're digging your own grave, Zhan Ge.. 😅)

During their breakfast, Wang Yibo urge him to have all his things to be transferred right away to his (yb) condominium... As if he will back down to what he just agreed...

After that, both of them went to his apartment and talk to the owner for moving out. They brought all of his things back to Wang Yibo's place right away.

"So where's my room?" he asked him while looking at the two rooms available...

"My room."

"Huh?" he utter as if he didn't understand what Wang Yibo said.

"Just stay in my room for now Zhan Ge... Those two rooms right now are fully occupied... I put all my LEGO collections there..."

Though he could not gasped the answer he's hearing, he did still manage to say something...

"Then, I need to have a --- bed..."

"Zhan Ge, let's just share a bed..."

"A-Are you serious? I mean, you live alone before so you might not be comfortable sharing a bed with me..."

Xiao Zhan tried to change Wang Yibo's mind 'cause even he, himself is not really comfortable of sharing a bed with him...

"If it's you, I don't feel uncomfortable at all... Rest assured, Zhan Ge..."

'But I am!' he shouted in his mind... There are really times when he could not fathom what's on Yibo's mind... Since he brought all his things here, there's no other choice but to live for now according to Wang Yibo's wishes... But one of these days, he'll surely occupy one of those two rooms and move all of his (yb) LEGO collections...
