Chapter 13. Trust...

After all the debacle that he was partly responsible for, Yibo was simply afraid that Zhan might love him less or even push him away or worse, part with him.

But nothing like that had happened. Instead, Zhan returned the hug and gave Yibo a kiss on the forehead. "I know you only meant it well with your best friend. That is why I am not angry with you. I understand it very well. But you should be more careful. Even best friends can sometimes pursue their own goals without paying attention to other people's feelings." Explained Zhan to him.

"Yes now I know that ZhanZhan. I just didn't notice it. I've known him for almost all my life and never thought he could be like this. Besides, he always said he had a crush on women." Yibo replied thoughtfully.

"The important thing is that you have learned from this. Let's hope you don't have any more friends like him." Zhan said.

"He was my one and only friend. There are no other friends but him. That's why I wanted him to be fine. He was the only friend I ever had, and I didn't want to lose him." Explained Yibo to him.

"Well, you've met my friends and they all like you. And they told you they would be happy to see you more often. They also offered you that if you ever need someone to talk to, to party with, to laugh with and to have fun with, you should just call them. So you have more than one friend." Zhan replied.

That's true. Because shortly after Yibo and Zhan got together, he met Zhan's four best friends. And they had approached him openly from the beginning, welcomed him into their midst and integrated him. They exchanged their phone numbers and connected through social media.

And he met them several times and each time they treated him like one of them. Nobody asked stupid questions, nobody condemned him because of his background or his past. They made him feel welcome and that he could trust them.

He now has more than one friend. And these four new friends like him as he is. They also really like him. Because after they went out together for the first time, they wrote messages to Zhan afterwards, telling him that they liked Yibo very much and wished them both to stay together.

And he had not only made four new friends. Louis also helped him with advice and support. Zhan's mother loved him like a son from the beginning. She treated him like her son-in-law. Zhan's manager, with whom Yibo has a lot to do as a personal assistant, had also told Yibo that if he ever needed help or anything, he could contact him.

Not only did Zhan make him a happy and cheerful person, he didn't change him so positively. He also enriched his life in other ways. Through him he is a happy man who feels loved. Through him he has a new family, new friends and new confidants. And all this he can thank Zhan with nothing more than his honest and seemingly endless love. But that is enough for his Zhan.

"I'm sad too, because I didn't read how your book continued and ended." Marbled Yibo into the chest of Zhan.

"Well, then you should read it. Everything is on my computer. And the cover we both created pleases the publisher so much that he's going to use it for the new book. And because we both did it, he needs your permission, because your name will be on it. And if you don't want your real name to be used, you should think of an alias." Zhan said.

Yibo pulled his head up with a grin. "He likes our cover?" He asked excitedly.

Zhan nodded. "He loves it." Zhan returned.

"Oh wow, I want an alias, I already know one. Lan Zhan." He said proudly.

"Okay, then we should go to the publisher tomorrow and get everything ready Mr. Lan Zhan. Then your name will also be on the cover. Lan Zhan and Wei Ying. Why does this sound so familiar?" Zhan wondered and then shook his head.

"It just seems like it fits together." Yibo replied.

While Zhan went into the shower, Yibo began reading Zhan's very first book. It is the very first book that Zhan wrote and no one but him would ever see it. No one but him had the right to read it. And he would treat it like a treasure.

He realized that Zhan had this talent even then, when he was only fifteen years old. Proudly he turned another page, then another and another. When Zhan appeared behind him, put his arms around him and gave him a kiss on his neck.

"Is it interesting?" Asked Zhan.

"Yeah. Thanks for that." Yibo replied and pressed the book back against his chest. He turned to Zhan and kissed him. "Thank you for the book. It means a lot to me." He whispered, then he let himself be taken into the bedroom.

Yibo lay in the arms of Zhan and read the book page by page until the end. It's true, it's not very thick, but everything in there contains as much information as a book with a thousand pages.

Zhan's thoughts and feelings, described on twenty-five pages, all condensed into one thin book. Whose cover Zhan had drawn by hand at the time. For Yibo it was now the most important thing he ever owned.

"No matter what lies ahead, the most important thing is that we trust each other and always talk to each other. That we look out for each other and not hurt each other's feelings. It won't always be easy, but together we will succeed." It's written as a paragraph in the book.

"Once we have found each other and you hold this book in your hands, it means I have found someone I love, trust and can imagine spending the rest of my life with. Be sure, if you have the book, it means I love you! Your Zhan." It's the last paragraph in the book.

Yibo carefully put the book on the bedside table beside him, turned to Zhan, smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "I love you too ZhanZhan."

Yibo never thought that he would meet someone he loves so much that it almost scared him. He vowed to himself to protect and guard this love, to cherish and nurture it. And never to give up, even if it should become difficult.

 And never to give up, even if it should become difficult
