His Race (YiZhan Fanfiction)

Chapter 7: He Likes Someone

"Xiao Zhan, tell your parents to eat with us. I'm preparing a feast dinner to celebrate Yibo's first win." his mom giggled, we are already in front of our gate.

I smiled at her, "Yes auntie. and probably staying the night at your place. If it's okay." I giggled.

She giggled at me, "You're always welcome in our home, Xiao Zhan. and I know Yibo will be happy spending the night with you, since you haven't had time to hang out, I suppose?" she said and smiled.

"That's right! Didi you got lots to tell me." I said and pointed at him as if I'm getting mad at him for not telling me things.

A smile formed at the edge of his mouth. "I will tell you tonight Zhan ge" he shook his head.

"You better be. Then I'll be going inside. See you tonight." I patted his head and opened the gate. I can see him pouting, I just chuckled. He's such a baby, a big baby.

I waved good bye at them and they waved back at me. I smiled wide as I enter the house.

Everyone is in front of the table. The feast already started, Mom and auntie were the same as always, talking with each other as if they own the dining. I shook my head and smiled at them, they seem to have a lot to talk about. Dad and uncle are talking with each other also, but unlike mom and auntie they are silent type. I looked at Yibo, he's eating so much, his cheeks are puffing. I smiled trying to contain my urge to pinch his cheeks. He's so damn cute. I turned to look at my food, It's dangerous to look at him, I might not stop myself from pinching those cheeks.

After eating, me and Yibo fixed the table. Mom and dad bid good bye at auntie and uncle. I'll be staying over tonight, we got lots to catch up together. I smiled to myself as we put the dishes on the sink.

Auntie showed up in the kitchen after bidding goodbye at my parents. "I'll be doing that, you two can go upstairs now." She smiled at us and took over the sink.

I put my arm on Yibo's shoulders and smiled, "Come on kid." I chuckled.

His room is always tidy, well, he's a clean freak after all. I looked around, his cabinet is full of motorbike toys. He's obsess with this things.

I laid on his bed and he just sat beside it. "You got lots of fans out there already Didi." I snickered and sat up.

"Do I? Doesn't seem that much." He shrugged and rest his head on the mattress.

I laughed at him, not much huh? "Too humble aye?" I nudge him, he faced me and glared, he sighed.

"By the way, the girl who came up to you and congratulated you, is that the same girl who I saw you with, last time?" My brows met as I asked him, I felt a pang in my heart. Why do I feel so nauseous after asking that.

He clicked his tongue as if saying it's not even interesting at all.

"Yes." He answered with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"She must like you a lot." I chuckled and changed my position, now I'm lying on my belly. I faked a smile.

"Don't care about her." He said disinterested. I chuckled internally, he doesn't like her, how pathetic of her.

"You're so cold, she's pretty though." I rest my chin on my hand and tried pushing the topic even more.

"I don't like her. She's pushy." He said, I bet he's rolling his eyes now. I can't see his face since it's his back that I'm facing right now.

"What did she do?" I asked, tilting my head.

"She confessed to me and I rejected her, she told me she's willing to wait but I said no and tell her there's someone I like already, but she insisted, so I don't have a choice. Then that night, I took a night run for practice, I left my phone on one of the bleachers, she was there, insisting on looking after my things. I did not object since I need someone to look after my things. But when I returned, I saw my phone on her hand. She handed me my phone with a bright smile. I was suspicious of her that time." he explained, I remember, I called him that night but it's a voice of a girl who picked up my call.

"I called you that night, didn't she tell you?" My brows furrowed, now I get why Didi doesn't like her.

"Eh?! But she didn't say anything. She just handed me my phone and when I looked into my call logs there's no any call history. She might have erased it." He clicked his tongue. "So that's why she have that creepy smile on her."

I chuckled, "Then it's good that you found out sooner." I don't know why I'm so relieved that Didi hates that girl but I'm so happy right now.

"Mn," He answered and stood up, he sat beside me.

"How about you Zhan ge, how are you?" He asked and looked at me.

I shrugged, "Nothing special, same as always. But Ms. Lee always accompany me when going out of the school." I looked at him and I can see a dissatisfied face on him. What's with him?

"Don't get too close to her." He said with annoyance in his tone.

I sat up and pat his head. "Don't worry, nothing can ever replace my childhood bestfriend." I giggled. But his brows furrowed even more.

"Aw, when you do that, you look really cute." I pinched his cheeks and he just whined in pain.

I let go of his cheeks and laughed at him as he cupped his swollen cheeks.

He glared at me grabbed both of my cheeks. "ow ow ow! That hurts!" I whined in pain.

He laughed at me and let go of my cheeks, "That's how it feels." He glared and caress his cheeks.

I caress my cheeks and soothed the pain, he's so sadist. I pouted.

"By the way, about that someone you like. who was it?" I teased him and poked his waist. He flinched and moved away from me.

"Stop that! I'm not telling you!" He whined and crossed his arms on his chest.

I pouted at him and glared.

"Let's sleep already. I'm tired." He said and laid on the bed, covering himself with the blanket. It's obvious that he don't want to talk about it.

I sighed, I'll let it go today, since I know how tired he was from the race. I laid beside him and closed my eyes.

"Good night" I said and smiled at myself. His presence is so warm that it's so comforting.
