Fake

4

My brother's body was beyond recognition which made me mad. Investigations showed that the car was on fire, that's why it lost control and sped off the bridge.

Despite that, his body was cremated and I am standing here. With many reporters around and my parents... Wait, my ex-parents crying very badly.

They cried and came to hug me and I flinched. Wow. The first time they hugged me and it's with fake tears. How do I know?

The moment the reporters left they stopped their ugly crying. In fact, my ex-father came up to me "Yibo, cancel the disowning."

"Why should I?" I glared at him. Now they are concerned for their image? Of course. What would happen if they media found out that the most loving parents in the world disown their child.

"Don't be childish" He then pointed to where my brother is being cremated "That guy in there is childish enough to be a detective. Trying to be a superhero?

That's just stupid. Yibo, you're cold and strong and you'll survive well in this industry. Better than that useless brother of yours"

He actually pointed to his own son and called him that guy? And is he trying to praise me? He just disowned me last night!

"No. I don't want to and I won't" I said and immediately left. Now what? Will he kill me too? Get rid of me too?

It was already late when I returned, just to see the man from before outside the door with boxes of stuff. He got up when he saw me.

"Hey, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Mr Wang, right? Could you please let me stay here till I find a place to move to?"

I ignored him and opened the door but he grabbed my hand "Hey, I'm really sorry! Please. I can handle the cleaning and cooking and any other household duties!"

I scoffed. Yea, he would do anything just to continue staying in such an apartment. He is only saying sorry to suck up to me.

But I don't know why I felt relief in seeing his face. Must be his special weapon. I'm really not in the mood for this. "Whatever" I replied.

That man smiled his cute bunny smile and brought his stuff back in. "Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook for you?"

"Is there wine?" I asked and he headed to the shelf. "Mr Wen gave this to me before! He made it himself, it's his strongest one"

I grabbed it and started drinking straight from it. The man in front of me quickly grabbed my hand. "Hey! It's very strong! Don't drink like that! It's bad for health!"

I frowned and to shut him up, I let him taste a little too. His eyes widened and after a few forced gulps, I let go.

I watched as a deep blush started surfacing on his cheeks and shook my head with a chuckle. What a lightweight. I then walked to the sofa.

The man stumbled his way and fell onto the sofa beside me, tugging my hand "Stop drink... drinking"

I frowned at him then asked "Hey, did you ever feel like dying" He let out a giggle "Yes... When I was young... But not now"

"Why?" I'm so curious. He started blabbering "My parents died when I was... 3? I didn't understand but living on the streets with those... evil dogs... made me understand.

I lost my parents... who would protect... love me... and give me warmth... I had nothing... I was suffering... But I remembered something...

My parents loves each other and me a lot! You know... they said they are the only one for each other. And I'll have mine too"

He started giggling "I'll have my soulmate... The one I can and will do anything to live for... So I don't want to die anymore. I want to meet my soulmate..."

I let out a smirk. Soulmate? That's stupid. This world is fake. Everything is fake. And that is fake too. There isn't such things.

The man gasped and pounced himself on me, making me fall on the sofa. "You feel like dying? You can't die! I won't let you!"

I frowned "Why not? If I die then you can continue staying here" The man squeezed me tighter and sobbed "You can't, don't die... You must have someone to live for..."

"But my brother is gone" I don't know why I'm telling him. "There are still people to live for! And you must find your soulmate..."

I let out a small smile. A sad one. I don't have anyone to live for. And soulmate? I still think it's fake. But... is he really drunk?

Is he really crying for me just because I feel like dying? He is pretending to be drunk right? It's all fake right?

His sobbing died down and I realised he fell asleep. Or is it fake too? I poked his cheek and... it's so soft. How cute.

I sighed at myself then got up. The man tightened his hold around me. I raised a brow but drank a few more mouthful of wine before getting up.

The man was hugging me like a koala, making me chuckle. Did I just chuckle? Anyway, I can't believe he can hold on to me like that and not fall if he is really sleeping.

But then, I felt his grip slowing slipping and before he could fall, I held him. Wait... why did I hold him?

I shook my head and went into another room. I closed seeing it was a study room and went into the room beside mine.

I looked around the empty room which was probably the room this guy stayed in. I then plopped him down on the neatly folded bed.

I wanted to get up but this guy was still clinging onto me. Maybe I was slightly tipsy but feeling tired, I got into the bed and very quickly, sleep washed over me.

Third Person's POV

Yibo woke up with a groan. He felt a kick and his eardurms bleeding. He opened his eyes to see Xiao Zhan screaming in shock.

Tired and annoyed, Yibo slapped his hand over his mouth "Shut up" Xiao Zhan with widened eyes made a few "Mmph" which slowly died down.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan was still processing everything. Ahhh, this Mr Wang forced him to drink alcohol.

Seeing their clothes intact, Xiao Zhan felt a little relieved. Yibo then opened his eyes and removed his hand, just to feel his shirt wet.

He took it off and smirked when he saw Xiao Zhan's widened eyes on a tomato red face as he wiped his drool away.

Xiao Zhan then gasped "W-Why do you have bite marks..." Yibo then remembered and leaned in with a smirk "Don't you remember? We slept together"
