At the time when Xiao zhan at evening come to pick up lixin he saw a boy was very upset and sad and that made Xiao zhan feel worried as in the morning he was looking very excited to meet his teacher Wang then what happened suddenly to make his face gloomy.
When lixin seat inside and was still pouting so Xiao zhan spoke softly "hey buddy"
Lixin without looking at Xiao zhan said "hmmm uncle!"
Xiao zhan ruffled his hairs lovingly and asked "you want some ice cream?"
The boy shook his head and spoke "No! I don't want"
"What happened? Did anyone bullied you at school?" Xiao zhan asked with a worried voice this time.
Lixin shake his head in denial "no one can bully lion"
Xiao zhan laughed and said "yeah yeah lion cub" but just after saying he get silent suddenly remembering something.
Watching Xiao zhan got silent lixin looking at him said "well I'm just upset I wouldn't able to meet teacher Wang for some days"
That's when Xiao zhan snapped out of his daze asked "why? Is your teachers Wang going on some trip?"
"No he is sick maybe but i don't know exactly what happened to him ..im worried for my beautiful teacher Wang" he pouted saying that.
"Oh.." left from zhan's mouth as he said immediately "but you can visit his home." Zhan smiled trying to lift little one's mood.
Lixin's yes immediately lit up as he asked "really ? Can you please get me to teacher wang .. please please handsome uncle zhan" he said with puppy eyes making zhan chukle.
"Okay okay! I'll take you there but let's go home now." Said zhan with a smile and started driving the car towards home while lixin was jumping happily in the car.
After they got home lixin get inside to his room to change while jiyang looking at him said "thank you so much Mr Xiao, I hope he didn't troubled you so much."
"No no it's fine and call me zhan." zhan said with a smile. And get inside as well.
When they settled on the couch he saw zhan rubbing his forehead and tensed. jiyang couldn't help but asked "uhm.. are u okay zhan?"
Zhan who had closed his eyes opened and noded "yeah I guess I need shower" saying so he get up and jiyang also didn't forced him to say anything and said "okay then come for dinner at living room." zhan noded and get inside his room.
After getting inside he took a hot shower and come out only to see the text message.
Watching this text he got some hope and he immediately called his detective zhang yecheng and asked him how he got that information.
After talking for some time he immediately get ready and left the house immediately to check on the nearby schools.
He literally searched in each and every school even it was night time all schools were closed he still begged to let him have the information it doesn't matter if he have to beg or give money he can't waste a single second to find his bo-di.
But at last all gone in vain none of the schools have a teacher named "Wang yibo".
He himself want to see their information but it's against rule so he have to come back empty handed, and try again at morning when the school will open as he can't risk security's job because of his selfish motive as they helped him to know about teacher's named Wang.
Still Xiao zhan got the list but it's useless there isn't a anyone yibo. maybe yuchen got mislead information thinking he just get inside the house only to see everyone was having their meal.
Lixin watching zhan uncle said with a excited tone "uncle uncle have a dinner with us." He gave a big smile and invited zhan.
But zhan ruffled his hairs and said "I'm sorry Buddy, I just had my dinner. I'll see you tomorrow" saying so he get inside his room.
He lied to the little boy but he really is not in the mood to have anything. now it will be two whole days means 48 hours he is here, still he couldn't get a single information about where his yibo is currently.
What's the use of having this much money when he can't find a single person?
He sighed and layed on the bed thinking if yibo himself don't want to meet him that's why he is hiding somewhere where he can't find him?
Some thoughts just pinch like a hell and stab inside his chest which again and again overflows.
Is yibo moved on from him? Will he never want to see my face again? did he really hate me now?
But again he scolds himself at the thought yibo didn't send him divorce papers yet that means he still have hope. A hope that yibo still can be his, that yibo can give him one chance to prove his love, one chance to say sorry for all the things he had done by his foolishness.
He open his eyes which was teary, well tears also feels like water coz even he shed them countless times still his pain didn't lessen instead it gets more and more worse.
He took some sleeping pills and closed his eyes waiting for the sleep to consume his senses and with a hope he will find yibo tomorrow.
••
Next day!
Zhan after getting ready come out of his room only to see smiling lixin was waiting for him.
That's when he realised how easily his bond was get nice with this little boy who unknowingly giving him some strength by his some cute words of warmth.
He crouched down in front of him and suddenly hugged him making lixin little surprised but he also hugged uncle back and said "Uncle what happened? Don't worry you will get your beautiful husband soon."
Hearing that zhan couldn't stop himself but cry silently making little lixin worried when he felt some wet tears on his back as he started to move his hand in circular motion in his back and said "uncle mama says sometimes crying is not bad but don't just give up and get sad. if we wish something from the bottom of our heart god fulfills your wish"
Lixin broke the hug slowly and wiped zhan's tears and kissed on his cheeks and cupping his face said "now be a good man uncle.. fighting!" he said while showing his fist to boost zhan's mood.
Zhan couldn't help but smile warmly and look at lixin with so many emotions. after so long he had felt someone so close to him. in his dead life someone gave him a hope of strength. Even he try to get so strong at the end he is also human who have emotions and he can broke down and when nobody is there to give you hand to stood up its gets impossible to heal that pain.
He lovingly kissed lixin's forehead and said "thanks little buddy"
Lixin smiled widely and dragged him towards dining table and said "let's have breakfast uncle then drop me to school then at evening we have to go to teacher wang's home."
Zhan noded and had breakfast with all of them and jiyang and haoxuan were smiling at how easily their son creates bond with people.
After breakfast Xiao zhan dropped lixin to the school and said goodbye while promised to take him back home and then went to search for yibo.
He get in all of the schools just to see the information and if he get any clue where yibo will be. But there wasn't the person he is finding.
How whole day went on he didn't even understood. he just sighed and sat one of nearby park at the garden while sighed and put his both hands on face.
Where he is loosing? Why God can't see his faithfulness why he can't see his misery. he opened his eyes only to look at the people's in the park and most of them were couple or with their children's.
Holding hands, smiling happily and playing with their kids. one tear roll down his eyes unknowingly as he watched how happy they were looking having their love of life close to them this near to their heart.
Suddenly zhan saw like he saw someone out of the garden's gate. very familiar figure. he immediately get up and started to run towards mindlessly.
He was running and running till he saw it another side of road and he didn't even though for a second and started to chase the figure running in the middle of the road. he didn't even noticed a car running towards his director with full speed.
but before zhan could reach towards the future the car directly stopped in front of him but hit zhan's leg little because it was coming with high speed it was impossible to stop urgent break.
But that made zhan to jump backwards and and fell down. suddenly he felt little blury as his head hit the road when he fell down.
Everyone gathered around him to check what happens and someone said call the ambulance.
Zhan was in his half senses when he heard those voice. but he shook his head and tried to get up.
Someone helped him to stand and shouted "hey if you wanted to die did you only found my car for that?"
Zhan said sorry to the man and bowed "I'm sorry." And started to run away but that person pulled him and said "wait where are you running your leg seems cramped even I stopped car in correct time."
Zhan ignored the person and run away from there ignoring his leg while the person sighed and getting inside his car mumbled "how weird person's are this days."
Zhan run towards the way he saw the person but he found none and at last feeling extremely tired by physically as well mentally he get back to car seat inside while leaning his head on the starring wheel while hitting his head there and cursing himself for being such a careless always.
That's when he noticed the darkness it was newly 8pm and he didn't even had the clue he was this long outside. and suddenly he remembered he had to pick up lixin from school he immediately droved his car towards school only to see there was none he asked security guard who said that lixin's dad took him home.
Zhan sighed in relief and felt so bad as he promised his little buddy to take him to teacher Wang. But seems like he always broke the promise's and couldn't able to fulfill them.
••
He get back to home and saw lixin wad playing with his dad in living room. They looked at zhan who was totally messy and dirty clothes looks so devastated and tired.
Haoxuan worriedly asked "hey are you okay zhan?"
Zhan noded and looked at himself and said ".. It's just... leave it."
He get near lixin who was pouting and looking away ignoring him. zhan felt bad as he said "I'm sorry buddy. uncle forgot his promise."
Lixin didn't tuned amd said just like that "bad uncle, I was waiting for uncle in school as well."
Zhan didn't know how to make this little buddy understand so he crouched down on his legs and holding his ears said feeling guilty "xinxin can punish uncle for his mistake."
Lixin turned to look at zhan but laughed immediately watching zhan pouting like a bunny and seating on his knees.
Lixin immediately get near him and hugged him and said "it's okay. Uncle I know you must be finding your little prince."
Zhan smiled softly as lixin broking hug said "eww uncles smells bad go and change... Go go" saying so he pushed zhan inside the room making everyone chukle.
After getting fresh they were seating on the dining table while having their meal and jiyang wad gesturing haoxuan to ask something to zhan.
Haoxuan at last asked clearing his throat. "Uhm.. Zhan did you find something about yibo?"
Zhan stopped eating and shook his head sadly. so jiyang asked "can you show his picture so we can help some how"
Zhan noded and take out his phone from poket to show his lock screen photo but lixin immediately snatched the phone too see first but when he saw photo immediately exclaimed surprised.
"TEACHER WANG"
Zhan who heard that his heart stopped beating for a while and asked "w-what did you say lixin?"
lixin looking at zhan asked confused "why there is photo of teacher wang in your phone uncle zhan?"
Zhan felt like he got a breath again to live he gulped the overflowing emotions and controlling his tears asked "a-are you sure lixin.. t-that he is your teacher wang?"
This time haoxuan took the phone and noded "yes zhan it's yijun wang. the new teacher of lixin who joined some months back."
Zhan immediately get up and taking his phone back he asked to lixin immediately. "Do you remember his address lixin.. can you tell uncle your teacher wang's address?"
Haoxuan put a hand on lixin shoulder who immediately get inside the room and come out after some time writing the address on the paper and giving it to zhan said "uncle.. but don't hurt my teacher wang."
zhan with teary eyes which were threatening to fall crouched down and hugged lixin tightly and said "t-thank you buddy.. you gave me my life back"
He ones put hand on lixin's head while noding at haoxuan and jiyang immediately left the house taking his car keys. While lixin stood there watching zhan living in rush. He didn't understood zhan's words meaning but he can understand teacher wang is the little prince in zhan uncle's life.
••
Zhan with racing heart and sweating body was driving his car with full speed at the house and only one thing was flashing on his head he gonna see his love, his bo-di after 6 fucking months.
The seconds passing by also feeling like years to him he was trying hard to drive as fast as he could.
Finally he reached the address and immediately getting out clumsily while tripping over the road while walking he immediately run towards the door and pressed the door bell.
His heart was beating so faster like it will jump out of his chest. he was feeling like he is getting out from the hell of death towards the light of heaven, which is within his bo-di.
Zhan continuesly pressing door bell and no one was opening even after 15 minutes when no body opened his heart which was beating very faster by the happiness was turning into the fear.
He was feeling his chest suffocated as he banged his fist on the door hardly and shouted.
"YIBO! BO-DI... PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR."
he continually calling yibo's name while his tears flowing through his eyes but still he didn't stopped.
But suddenly someone from neighborhood come there and said "hey! stop making noise .. why are you banging door like this"
Zhan stopped beating door and looking at the intruder and asked gulping the lump in his throat "w-where is the owner of this house"
"Oh so you are relative of Mr and Mrs wu. They had gone somewhere yeah.. Business trip. Come after some days" he said casually while watching zhan's messy attire and doubting if he is some kind of psychopath banging a closed door in the night just like this, it's so inappropriate.
Zhan's heart was Clenching and unclenching at hearing Mr and Mrs wu.. But he composed his emotions and asked hopefully "is someone else also lives here? a t-teacher?"
The man thinked for a while and said "o-oh yeah... Someone lives with them as well .. but he just left with his boyfriend, you can come later and don't make noise." saying so the man closed his own door not wanting to talk longer with crazy man.
But what Zhan heard was enough to make his heart to pain more. Boyfriend? Zhan not wanting to believe the outsider seat in front of house's main door on a clod floor in a chilly night which wasn't feeling as much cold to his heart which was craving for a warmth of one person.
Zhan leaned his head at the door and waited for his bo-di to come back, his mind was thinking countless of things but all he want to do is see his bo-di.
He don't know how much it was difficult to live without seeing yibo for this 15768017.3 seconds in those 6 months.
He was lost in his bo-di's thoughts when suddenly a roar of bike caught his attention. he saw a flashing light on his face and he immediately jerked stood up heart racing and mind hazy thinking finally he gonna see the face he was craving this much for this months, every single sleepless night's which made him only think about one person, the one with some he is madly in love but faith was this much cruel he didn't even had chance to confess and snatched everything in just a blow of wind.
he wiped his tears and trying to see the person he badly wanted to see and finally he looked at the the figure and his heart literally stopped beating and his whole world stopped around that one figure.
The happy tears formed in his eyes when he saw that beautiful smile ones again, he clenched his chest tightly coz he couldn't able to hold those emotions. he was literally trembling on his place as if he couldn't able to believe on his eyes.
He couldn't able to move from his place nor he could able to utter any word all he can do at this moment was watch mindlessly and calm his eye's thirst watching his angel one's again.
If God will ask him who is the happiest person in the world he will proudly scream on top of his lungs that he is very happiest person on the earth today finally finding his bo-di , his love, his home!
But like a thunderstorm his whole body freeze when he saw the next person with yibo, and when yibo hugged him with a smile.
He clenched his fist recalling the words the neighbor said some time ago, boyfriend!
But ones again his mind got blank when his angel looked at him finally! With shock, horror, surprise zhan couldn't tell but he was dam sure both of them got lost in that eye contact that they both couldn't able to move or speak any word.
And looking just like that both of them had tears in their eyes started to walk slowly towards each other closer with each step.
when finally they were one inches apart from each other the a lone tears slide through their eyes making both of them to believe that it's not a dream but a reality and the overflowing emotions were going through the flow of tears as both just starred at each other without blinking their eyes unmoving on their place with the silence which wasn't painful like those 6 months but it was the silence of longing they were feeling through each other's eyes. and definitely, the eyes speaks louder than words.
