While I was writing this chapter, I heard this song.

-25- Attack

Yibo had to talk to his stepbrother for over an hour until he agreed to go back to his wife for the time being. He did not want to stand in the way of Hai Kuan and Cheng, that is far from his mind. He just wants Hai Kuan to clarify things at home first before he gets involved with someone else.

Hai Kuan was not enthusiastic and Yibo could see how hard it was for him to leave Cheng behind. But finally he realized it too and let Yibo take him through the tunnel back to the hut and then to his car. After he had read them the message from Zhan's aunt.

"Sorry I can't help you. I was robbed and I haven't eaten for days myself." The message said so.

When Yibo stood with his brother at his car, Yibo promised him that as soon as he had settled his affairs at home with his wife, he would pick up Hai Kuan and bring him to Cheng. Hai Kuan nodded and begged Yibo to keep this promise.

Yibo could see how hard it was for his stepbrother. And he could only too well understand the pain his brother was feeling right now. He also felt this pain and longing for Zhan. And this already for months.

Before Yibo went back to the others, he wandered a little through the forest. It was full moon once again and the temperatures had long since dropped below zero. But Yibo did not feel the cold. Not since his transformation.

He stood at a broad tree trunk and looked up to the night sky. At that moment, the longing for Zhan felt to him like it was killing him from the inside. A slow and very painful death. A fire that burned inside him and tortured him incessantly with its hot flames.

Yibo crouched down, tears running down his cheeks. How long until he can finally see Zhan again? How much longer must he wait until he can hold Zhan in his arms and feel him?

"It's not a good idea to walk around alone in these times. Especially when they're targeting you." Did Yibo suddenly hear someone beside him say.

He tore his head to the side and stared into the eyes of his big brother Wangji. "What are you doing here? Uncle gave me a few more days."

"I know. But that doesn't mean I'm leaving you here defenseless."

"Defenseless? I have Yanli and Cheng. They have learned how to fight."

"But they are not with you now. You are all alone here. You didn't even notice my coming. You should really be more careful. What do you think happens if someone kills you? How will your Zhan react then?"

"Stop saying things like that OK? You have no idea how I've felt for months. I just need some time for myself."

"I know how you feel. You mean Wei Ying has always been with me? No, he wasn't. We haven't seen each other for many years and I know this pain all too well. But that doesn't mean you can give up and be careless. You know where Zhan is and how he is doing. I didn't know then, with Wei Ying."

"I'm sorry"

"It's OK. But Yibo, please do me a favor. Practice a bit more in the next few days. So that you'll be ready for the attack."

"Listen, I already told uncle. It's urgent. It's unclear how long it will take them to realize Zhan's father is mixing something in the blood mixture that will weaken them."

"Yes, I know. And that' why Uncle wants to launch the attack as soon as you and the other two get back. Right now, right now, some of our people are there and spies are all out. So if you want to survive and save your Zhan, train."
