Xiao Zhan got up wiping the blood off his face. Every inch of his body ached and he groaned while stretching his arms.
Bullying had become such a familiar thing to him.

He pulled down his sleeves covering his bruised arms.

As he walked towards the school exit he heard others whispering and pointing at him as if he was some kind of an animal. Ignoring the gazes of thousands of eyes Xiao Zhan came outside and a wide smile appeared on his lips as soon as he noticed his best friend Zhou Cheng waiting for him with his usual impatient look.

As soon as Zhou Cheng saw Xiao zhan he gave the other a charming smile but when he noticed the black and blue bruises on Xiao Zhan his smile disappeared.

"Zhou Cheng ya~" Xiao Zhan just gave smile as he understood the change in the other's face and cheerfully bumped onto him.

"Xiao Zhan! this isn't a joke!! you have to do something about those bullies!"

Zhou Cheng scanned Xiao Zhan's face watching the grim expression overtaking his playful mood.

As usual Xiao Zhan became silent. He knew that him alone can't stand against five or six bullies who were older than him and stronger than him. Even Zhou Cheng was unable to help him because he was in another school. The only friend he had was distant from him unfortunately.

They were about to head home but with a low shriek Xiao Zhan hid himself behind Zhou Cheng making him startled.

"W..what is it!?"

"... Wang Yibo.." Xiao Zhan mumbled and Zhou Cheng looked at the guy who walked pass them with a bunch of boys.

He had his eyes fixed somewhere far. His untamed brown hair appeared more like a red tint in the rays of the setting sun. Zhou Cheng heard Xiao Zhan sigh behind him.

"What about him?" Zhou Cheng looked over his shoulder at the other's curious eyes those followed Wang Yibo.

"W..well.. he's a bully.. almost all the students fear him.. even some teachers.."

"Did he hurt you?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head for a 'no'

Then with a peculiar expression he looked down.

"He's just annoying.. I don't like him"

"... yeah right.. you probably like him!"

"NO I DON'T! SHUT UP!" Xiao Zhan pouted in annoyance.

I really don't....... right?
