The Gift (A YiZhan Fanfiction)

Wangs

Xiao Zhan stopped by the head's office to submit some important papers that needs to be signed. He knocked on the door and waited for the head's assistant to let him in. "Professor Xiao. How's the University so far?" Xiao Zhan smiled and gave her the papers. "It's alright. The kids are participating and doing their best." The Head laughed and asked Xiao Zhan to sit. "I heard you somehow convinced Mr. Wang and Mr.Zhu to attend your lectures. I highly admire you for this. The other Professors tried but failed for three consecutive years until you showed up." Xiao Zhan shyly accepted the praise, smiling so sweetly at the woman infront of him. Even the Head thinks this young Professor is such a beauty.

"May I ask? How do they get away with skipping lectures?" She sighed and rubbed her chin as he thought about it. "Well, Mr. Wang's parents contributed half of the University's funds. Indeed, our University is prestigious but if it weren't for the Wangs, this is just an old building. Now, don't get us wrong- It's not about the money that we let Mr. Wang do whatever he wants. That kid is really smart, he loves to dance but finds regular lectures boring that he used to tease the Professors by getting a low score on purpose. So, to make it short.. We let him dance all day but he also needs to do his best on thesis and tests." The professor nodded, understanding that Yibo's family is very powerful. "But what about Mr. Zhu?"

"Mr.Zhu is a close friend of Yibo, their parents goes way back and also contributes to the University. Unlike Yibo, Mr.Zhu always tries his best in lectures but suddenly acted like Mr.Wang after his first year. Many students tried to do it their way but unfortunately only those two can ace their academic styles." The head clasped her hands together and leaned in. "Since you seem very familiar with Mr.Wang and I think he likes you the most, can you do us a favor and help him with his papers? The poor boy has to do three months worth of paperwork within a week." Xiao Zhan frowned. "Why?"

"Well, he's going out of country for two to three months and needs to catch up." Xiao Zhan suddenly stood up, shocked to hear the news. "Excuse me.." The Professor bowed and left leaving a confused Head.

"How come he never told me anything!?" The Professor mumbled, stomping his way to the usual Practice room and breathed in and out before knocking on the door. "Oh- Professor Xiao, what are you doing here?" Zanjin asked behind him who was about to enter the room. He is holding two iced peach juice. "Mr. Zhu.. Is Mr.Wang inside?" Yibo yawned as he opened the door, revealing his favorite Professor and his best friend. "There he is~" Zanjin gave Yibo the peach juice and excused himself in. "Professor Xiao, What are you doing here? Where's that other Professor who was so chummy with you?" Xiao Zhan hissed, warning the younger to watch his tone. "Fine.. I'm sorry."

"I need to talk to you." Yibo followed Zhan out in the parking lot and gave the elder his juice. "Drink." He ordered. The Professor took it and placed it on the concrete floor. "Yibo, aren't you forgetting something? Is there something you want to tell me? Something important?" Yibo thought for a while and shook his head. "No.. Is there something I'm supposed to tell you?"

Yibo slapped himself on the back of his mind, He just can't tell Xiao Zhan. What if he reacts badly? What if Xiao Zhan never gives him a chance? "Yibo." The younger gulped, his adams apple bopping up and down. "Alright.." The Professor forcefully smiled and tapped Yibo's shoulder. He picked up the juice and walks away.

(In Xiao Zhan's apartment)

Xiao Zhan kept staring at the man leaning on a bike outside, looking up at his room's direction. "He has the guts to stay right across my apartment but hides the fact that he's leaving the country for almost a hundred days." Xiao Zhan furiously closed the curtain and hugged his pillow as he crawled on his bed. "Annoying.." he mumbled.

Yibo saw the lights off saw he decided to drive home. He keeps thinking on how he's supposed to tell Xiao Zhan. If he doesn't tell him, surely the elder will notice he's gone right? He stopped right infront of his house and greeted Zewu who is currently reading the newspaper. "Yibo, Dad wants you to stay at home when you return to Korea." Zewu said, not looking at his baby brother. Yibo threw his key on the coffee table and sat beside Zewu. "Why is he in Korea? I thought he had business in London?" Zewu closed his newspaper and faced the younger. "Maybe he wants to see his precious little boy race?" Yibo rolled his eyes and laid down on Zewu's lap, covering his eyes with his arm. "He'll just squish me to death when he sees me.." The elder stroked his baby brother's hair upwards while humming.

"We both know how he cares for us Yibo. Daddy will do everything just to protect the both of us. Just open up to him a little more okay? He missed you a lot." Yibo sighed for the hundredth time and peeked at Zewu's face. "It's not that I'm not opening up to him, It's just that.. I'm really not into his ways. Dad almost killed Zanjin when he left you remember? Aunt and Uncle were terrified because they thought they'll lose their son." The elder smiled. "What Zanjin did was unreasonable. Daddy thought of that too, plus.. After seeing his son devastated, who wouldn't want to kill the person responsible, hm?" Yibo sat up and gulped. "Also, Yibo.. Daddy did try to kill Zanjin but he did not. Do you know why?" Yibo shook his head and waited for his brother to continue.

"Because he knows I would die with Zanjin. I loved that brat so much and Daddy knew I would do crazy unbelievable things to myself so he just let it go. He may be using evil ways but he never failed as our father. Please go see him, hm? It's been what- 3 years? Daddy is probably depressed."
