Chapter 24

The cold countryside wind silently sneaked into the small cottage to steal a glance at the handsome young man who was busy wandering in his dreamland.

Just looking at that handsome face didn't seem to satisfy it, so it tried to sneak into his blanket and cuddle his warm body.

Yibo stirred in his sleep as he nuzzled against the soft pillow pulling the quilt closer to his body. He slowly opened his eyes as the rays of sun welcomed him to view the luxurious cottage that his brother had prepared for him.

Even though the cottage was small, it still had great interiors, suitable for a couple to accommodate.

Yibo sighed internally as he slowly realised what his angel brother's evil plans were.

'If that is what you were thinking, why arrange a bunk bed instead of a king sized comfy one? '
He thought as he slowly turned around to take a sneak peek at the person lying below him... I mean on the bottom bed.

But his eyes widened and he quickly jumped down when he found the bottom bed empty.

"Zhan! "
He yelled as he walked out of the bedroom with quickened pace.
But, Zhan was no where to be seen.

"Where did he go? "
He wondered as he quickly grabbed his jacket that was hanging lonely on the hanger.

As he ran out of the small cottage, his eyes kept wandering around as his legs carried him all around searching for his lost bunny.

"Zhan! Where are you? "
He kept calling for Zhan as he went around searching for him. As he wasn't much familiar with those roads, he decided not to walk too far as he might lose his way back.

He took out his cellphone to check if he's within the network coverage area, but there wasn't even a single line of network there.

That's right. They were there for the Rural Development Project. So, it shouldn't be a surprise if there wasn't network available to make phonecalls.

"Dammit! I guess the first thing that I should be doing is to install some network towers here. How am I supposed to call him now? "
He sighed, looking lost.

"Hello, youngman. "
A cheerful voice greeted him from behind and he slowly turned around to see who it was.

It was the village head who had lead them to the cottage the previous night.

Yibo wasn't in a mood to exchange greetings as of that moment so he quickly acknowledged him with a smile and a nod and decided to resume his search.

But, as Yibo was walking away, that village head stopped him with a smile on his face.

"What is it? If you want to tell anything, please do that later. I'm busy now. "
He said in a cold voice.

His heart has been racing widely ever since he saw that empty bed. Even though he knew Zhan wasn't a little kid and wouldn't get lost, he was still worried. Very worried.

The village head quickly shook his head and smiled wider.

"It isn't that. Hmm... Are you by chance looking for that pretty boy who came with you yesterday? "

As soon as that question fell off the village head's lips, Yibo's ears perked and he quickly turned around to face him.

"Did you see him? Where's he? "
The tension that he had was clearly evident in his voice.

"Hahaha... Relax. He's fine... "
The village head laughed looking at the helpless boy.

Yibo breathed a breath of relief when he heard that. He took another deep breath to ease his racing heart.
