In the world of utter darkness, blooms a musical prodigy. To the world he was a maestro, yet he himself was wrapped away from the worldly being. He was Xiao Zhan.
Innocence and purity was one, Wang Yibo was known for. Singing was his passion and so...
Your soft breaths caresses my soul, Like million stars painting the world, Beauty is music with no destination in mind, Like a lover singing a bard so so ever kind.

Xiao Zhan's POV:
With Bo Di out with his friends, BaBa and I were sitting on their garden patio with Fairy lying by the side of my legs. The sound of the water from their fountain were music to a parched soul. Closing my eyes, I was immensely cherishing that sound. The feeling is of standing under waterfall as millions of droplets kisses your skin like a lover's caress.
"So I guessed right" his voice is soft "that you would too enjoy this place."
"Me too?" I enquire and he explains "Hm, Bo when he is sad, happy or just wishes to be alone, he'd come here and just like you, close his eyes and smile peacefully. I once asked Bo the reason for him to frequent this place and he said 'BaBa, this is one place where I can enjoy sound of music', I accepted his wise words back then and it often brought me joy to see him happy."
Something in his words let me know that Bo Di had a sad childhood. "BaBa."
"Hm?"
"Did Bo Di have a troublesome childhood?" I enquire and his sigh answers my query.
"In lots of ways, yes. Bo has always been a sensitive child. His empathy quotient has always been higher than children of his age, because of which there were times in his life that people made it miserable for him" BaBa's pain was evident which made me clench my fist involuntarily.
"What happened?" I enquire and with a deep breath he reveals a past of my lover which I had only guessed during our times together.
"Bo, being a single child fell in love with every single thing around him. Especially souls who were weaker than the rest. There were days he would be beaten up because he was saving an injured stray from being stoned or would fall ill for a sole reason that he would jump into raging river to help a stranded animal.
"He'd often get them home and right here, Bo would treat them with love and care. This garden has seen many injuries at at times he would secretly nurse his own. Zhan, do you know what broke him?"
"What?" My voice was just a whisper.
"Him saving a child from bullies. Back then he was in a different school. He saved that boy from being beaten up and in return those bullies broke our Bo's ribs and kicked him so hard, he was in hospital for a month from all those internal bleedings. His MaMa and I filed a formal complaint but because they were minors, with just a simple warning they were let free.
