Yibo held Zhan by his shoulders and looked into his eyes. There was surprise in those eyes, but Zhan said nothing.
"I know you will never speak your heart openly," Yibo said softly. "But I want to know-does this relationship have a place in your life? Or am I more important? Today, your 'no' will create such distance between us that it can never be removed. Or your 'yes' will join our souls as one. I swear, if you say yes, no storm in this world will ever touch you."
His voice was tender. For one moment, Zhan wanted to make this moment his destiny. But then he remembered Yixuan's words that day-how Yibo would never leave him because of their bond of loyalty.
Zhan removed Yibo's hands from his shoulders. "Loyalty is staying faithful even when you have every chance to betray," he said quietly. "But sadly, you never gave Yixuan any chance of your disloyalty. You have done many favors for me, and I am grateful. But I cannot pay for these favors by giving away my feelings as the price of your temporary desire. You have no right over this."
His voice was bitter. Before Yibo could speak, Zhan walked away.
