In the Future

Thoughts

"Ow, Xiao Zhan, you're crazy, how do you also bite people!" The fascination that had just begun to overtake Wang Yibo dissipated in an instant. There's a Chinese saying that even an anxious rabbit will bite, and Xiao Zhan's two front teeth were not vegetarian, this one bite directly broke skin.

Wang Yibo wanted to pull his finger out of his mouth, but Xiao Zhan's bite was too tight and he couldn't pull too hard and hurt him. With no other option, he could only try good-natured persuasion. "Ge, Zhan ge, let go, I'm begging you, look, my hand is already bleeding. Please, let go?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head, closing his eyes. His message was very clear. I'm not going to let go, what can you do about it?

"Ge, ge, Zhan ge, my dear big brother Zhan, you..."

Ding dong! Misfortunes never arrive alone, Wang Yibo wasn't able to save his finger and the doorbell sounded at this time. He looked at the Xiao Zhan that was still biting his finger and stubbornly refusing to let go, and then looked at the nonstop ringing doorbell with a splitting headache. He swore to himself that in this lifetime, he was never going to bring Xiao Zhan out drinking ever again. He was never gonna let him even touch a drop of alcohol!

No choice, Wang Yibo could only guide Xiao Zhan, withstanding the pain, and move towards the door to open it. He opened it just a crack, trying his best to not let the other person see inside the room.

"I've bought your clothes, look, inner and outerwear, two sets, do you need to take a look?" The owner smiled, saying warmly.

"No need, just give me the clothes, you can head back. Ow..." As if dissatisfied with Wang Yibo talking to other people, Xiao Zhan bite down even harder. New wound on top of old, Wang Yibo couldn't help but wince.

The owner smiled awkwardly, an expression of understanding. "Young people nowadays are really wild, no problem, no problem, I won't bother you two any longer, I'll leave first haha..."

"No...Miss..." Watching the fleeing figure, Wang Yibo was left speechless.

After closing the door, seeing Xiao Zhan who was wrapped up like a zongzi* yet still stubbornly biting onto him, he became somewhat irritated and lost his temper, yelling at him. "Xiao Zhan! Are you fucking done causing trouble yet?! My hand is able to be crippled, are you planning to bite off my finger before you quit? If that's the case, go ahead, bite it, bite it until you're satisfied!" After he finished berating him, he sat down on the ground and refused to get up again.

Perhaps it was because he felt Wang Yibo's anger, Xiao Zhan moved next to Wang Yibo like a wronged child. Though his mouth still clung on to his finger, the strength of the bite was much weaker.

Seeing this opening, Wang Yibo continued scolding, "I'm going to count to three, if you still don't let go, I'm going to leave, forget you, and leave you here all alone, do you believe me?"

Xiao Zhan's large, sparkling dark eyes stared at him for a good while. After confirming that Wang Yibo was really "angry", he could only let go reluctantly.

Wang Yibo held the finger he had so difficulty saved, essentially crying without tears. "Ge! Exactly which zodiac animal were you born under? Look, it's bleeding! Ow...don't know if this place has any band aids, when I get back I'm gonna go to the hospital for a rabies vaccination and you're paying for it!"

It was unclear whether Xiao Zhan understood him or not, he just watched Wang Yibo hold his bleeding finger and making a fuss. After a while, once he was done cursing, Xiao Zhan moved next to Wang Yibo once more, taking his hand, staring at the bleeding finger blankly.

Wang Yibo felt goosebumps rise all over his body, afraid that, as Xiao Zhan stared at it, he would take another bite. Just as he was about to pull his hand back, Xiao Zhan was faster than him and put the just-rescued finger back into his mouth.
