Chapter 14. Zhan's POV Memories

I still cannot believe that this wonderful innocent and handsome young man in my arms is my boyfriend. We have been together for half a year, but already I can't remember what it was like without him. And I can't imagine being without him again.

Back when Louis wanted to take me home after we went to my publisher's Christmas party. I saw a young man from afar who was clearly not well.

Louis drove slower to see if he was maybe drunk, but he wasn't. We soon realized he seemed ill. "We can't leave him here like this. We should take him to a hospital." I said that to Louis.

"What if he doesn't want to? He doesn't look like he can afford it, young master."

"It doesn't matter. Then I'll pay him for it. Look how young he still is. I'm afraid it might go badly for him without any medical attention."

Louis nodded and stopped the car. The young man didn't want any help, but after he lost his strength, Louis just grabbed him into the car. He is so weak, so tired and so sick he doesn't even notice me.

We drive to the private clinic of my trust and the doctor, who is also a good friend of mine, takes care of him immediately. "Just in time. He has a really high fever and might not have survived this night without help."

Like I already suspected.

They took him to a room, started an IV and gave him something for his fever. Louis stayed with him the whole time until he fell asleep. Meanwhile, I took care of the bill and paid for the medicine.

My good friend asked me if I knew him. I told her I'd never seen him before. Then she shook her head and asked me if I believed that someone like him deserved to pay his bill. At the time, we were standing in the room, next to his bed. "I'm sure he deserves it."

I pulled a chair close to his bed at the head end and looked at him. His fever-red cheeks really suit him. He looks really handsome and has beautiful facial features.

It must have been almost three o'clock in the morning when I asked Louis to drive me home. I got up to move the chair. Then the young man, Wang Yibo as I learned, grabbed my hand and held it tightly. "Please don't go." He muttered in his sleep.

I stroked his cheek and tried to free my hand, but he kept holding it tight. "Please don't leave me." He mumbled in his feverish sleep.

"Shhh, I'm here. Don't worry."

"Stay with me... I... don't go."

"Shhh, it's all right. Sleep and don't worry."

My hand is the hostage of Wang Yibo's hand. He turns on his side, pulls my hand further towards him and lays it on his face. "I don't know who you are, but I like your hand. It is soft and warm." He mumbles and kisses the palm of my hand.

I used my other free hand and stroked him over his head. He seemed like a cat and his nose sounded as if he was purring. I took a look at his file, which was lying next to me on the night table. His birthday catches my eye again.

"Ahhh, so you're a lion. So that's why you're purring."

"Mn."

"Sleep tight, little lion."

"Will I see you again?"

"Maybe."

"Please. I must see you again."

I said nothing more and let him sleep. I watch him continue to cuddle with my hand. He probably thinks I'm Louis, because I assume he hasn't noticed me.

Which is just as well. Because we probably won't see each other again. And I should forget him quickly.

I don't know why, but as soon as I saw his face, my heart started racing. But I can't let that feeling happen. He's only twenty-two years old and he must have a girlfriend.

If I would allow this feeling, it would probably accompany me for a long time and I would only suffer. I cannot and should not let it happen.

Besides, I'm still tired of my last relationship. How can my heart pounce on someone else so quickly after what it has experienced?

It's only been two months since I broke up with my ex boyfriend. Four years of relationship and then it ends abruptly. One moment you're thinking together about a wedding and the next moment you want to surprise your boyfriend at his home and catch him in bed with his ex-boyfriend.

I vowed to myself to take my time with my next relationship. Not to give my heart away so quickly again. And where does my heart go? It starts to race because of Wang Yibo.

It's hard to believe that I agreed to see him again after Louis told me he saw him at a bakery and asked him to tell me that he wanted to thank me personally.

When I decided to face him after my journey, I saw him at the bakery. Safe and sound and totally shy. And again my heart screamed at me and hammered so hard in my chest that it already hurt.

For some reason, I offered him the job as my personal assistant. Well, what does that mean, for some reason, I knew the reason. But at the same time I warned myself not to get too used to him. To suppress my feelings.

But pretty soon I realized that Yibo apparently saw more in me than his employer. I tried to keep him at a distance but he didn't give up. He made me breakfast, cooked lunch, prepared something for dinner and called me every time.

He used every opportunity he got to see me and spend time with me.

From the beginning he had been honest with me and told me about himself and his life. And I was sorry that he had never been on vacation in his life.

So I wanted to do something good for him and invited him to Greece. I was also a little selfish, because I wanted to spend some time with him alone.

And then, in Greece, late at night on the beach, I decided to give in to my heart and try my luck. There were only two possibilities, either he returned my feelings or he did not.

Well, what can I say, he returned them and we have been together since then. It is not always that easy, because he is totally inexperienced in relationships and love. Every now and then I have to remind myself of this, when, like just now, he just wants to help someone and do something good and doesn't realize that he is being taken advantage of and tricked.

But at the same time I love him all the more for his inexperience and his innocence. I am glad that I gave in, to my feelings and so I got the most wonderful, loving and sweetest boyfriend. I love him, it is that simple. And I will nurture and protect this love. I will protect my Wang Yibo! I will not let anyone hurt him.
