Chapter 23. Be brave

Chapter 23. Be brave.

After the scene at the wedding ceremony, Zhan and Yibo feared that Shou Nian might cause further trouble. After all, he was one of those who knew about the true identity of the author.

Zhan trusted him with everything, even to reveal who Wei Wuxian really is. But until now, three weeks after the wedding and their two weeks honeymoon, nothing like that had happened.

Shou Nian suddenly appeared and disappeared just as suddenly. So had Shou Nian only lost control when he was drunk and that's why he showed up at the wedding party?

At this moment, Zhan and Yibo couldn't do anything but wait and hope for the best. An inner voice in Zhan, however, told him that he has nothing to fear and that Shou Nian would continue to keep the secret of the author's true identity as a secret.

Now the time had also come to say goodbye to Zhan's mother for now. Zhan and Yibo offered her to move into the apartment and live with them.

But Zhan's mother wants to live alone, at least for a while. She still feels fit enough to get along on her own and also thinks that the two should enjoy their new married life first.

Zhan and Yibo were a little bit sad, but they understood. And she was right, they needed time for themselves to celebrate and enjoy their new marriage, everything else could wait.

Only one thing couldn't wait, the completion of Zhan's new book. The story about how he found the love of his life, how they met each other until the day they said yes to each other.

There were still some chapters to write. Still many memories to put into words and emotions to describe.

Zhan was no longer sitting in his workroom just to write, he often sat with Yibo in the living room and continued to type the story on his notebook while Yibo lay with his head on Zhan's lap and continued to read the already printed books from Zhan.

Sometimes Yibo shared with Zhan what he remembered, how he felt and what he thought. And Zhan would put it into beautiful words and write them down.

Whenever Zhan finished a chapter, Yibo always sat up and read it and when he was satisfied, he kissed Zhan on the cheek and then put his head back on Zhan's lap.

For Yibo, it all felt perfect. He felt it was the perfect life. Being with the person you love. Spending time together and not missing any opportunity to tell each other how much they loved each other.

Yibo found his happiness and almost every day he wished his parents were alive and he could tell them how well he is doing now and how much Zhan loves him and makes him incredibly happy.

Zhan had sat in the living room again that day and continued working on the book. Yibo had cuddled his head on Zhan's lap again and fell asleep at some point.

Carefully Zhan pulled a blanket from the armchair towards him and put it over Yibo so that he wouldn't freeze. He looked at his sleeping husband and smiled as he gently stroked his head. "I love you, my dear." He whispered and then devoted himself to writing again.

When Zhan looked at Yibo, he always remembered that day when he saw his beautiful husband for the first time and how his heart suddenly beat faster and he felt excited and nervous.

From the first moment, Zhan felt that he and Yibo belonged together. And even though it took him a little bit of time to allow this feeling to happen, he never regretted taking the first step for a day, an hour, a minute or even a second.

Yet Zhan was never someone who approached others or spoke to them first. He had always been shy and reserved. But that night in Greece when he was on the beach with Yibo changed him.

He had long since admitted to himself that he had fallen in love with Yibo and wanted to be with him. But he was too shy to take the first step. But then on the beach, when he looked at Yibo, he wondered what would happen if he was not brave for the first time?

Will Yibo eventually leave at some point? Will it end before it has even started?

Zhan did not want to lose Yibo. He wanted to have with him what he always wrote about. To share his one true love. So he gathered up all his courage and kissed him.

Of course he was afraid Yibo would reject him. But in that moment when Yibo immediately kissed him back, thousands of butterflies fluttered in his stomach and a firework of feelings awoke in him as he had never experienced it before and never thought it was possible.

Not even in his books could he ever describe such a feeling.

And it was already that moment when they kissed for the first time, when Zhan felt that Yibo was the right one for him. The man he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Yibo opened his eyes and looked up at Zhan. "You know Zhan. I knew from the first moment I saw you that I loved you. And I wanted to be with you at all costs. Even if I was only your assistant forever."

"Wouldn't it have been too hard for you at one point? Just being the assistant?" Zhan wanted to know and stroked Yibo on the cheek.

"No, not at all. All that mattered to me was that I could see you every day." Yibo replied and sat up. He put his head on Zhan's shoulder and looked at the notebook.

Zhan lifted Yibo's chin with his index finger. "I love you my cute honey and I'm glad I have you." he said and kissed Yibo tenderly.

Yibo sat himself on the lap of Zhan and grinned. "How about you take a break and let's both go to our bedroom and have some fun? Maybe like this for the rest of the day?"

"My husband is very naughty. That' I have to say." Zhan replied with a grin.

"Your husband loves you and wants you to love him." Said Yibo with an even bigger grin.

Zhan put his hands under Yibo's butt and stood up. "Then I should take you into the bedroom now. So I can show you how much I love you." Said Zhan and brought Yibo to their bedroom.
