" What a coincidence! " -Ji Xia.
Every student who saw Ji Xia praised the beauty of the girl, and a few classmates Zhan said he was lucky to have a beautiful girl who would willingly come to see him.
"I don't have time to accompany you, you can go now." - Xiao Zhan.
Zhan has no reason to be kind to Ji Xia, he doesn't care about the view of his friends if they think he is being rude to Ji Xia. Zhan knows Ji Xia very well, she is a cunning girl who will do anything to attract his attention. And Zhan knows that Ji Xia deliberately came to her school to embarrass him and Wang Yibo.
Yibo who was standing next to Zhan felt that the current conditions were unfavorable, he walked away leaving the two to talk.
"Look.. at times like this, even he left you. You're really lucky because I'm willing to stay by your side." - Ji Xia.
Zhan looks down on Ji Xia and leaves her behind for Yibo.
"Zhan, you dare to leave me, don't blame me if I keep bothering you." - Ji Xia shouted.
Yibo turned his gaze to the side and saw Zhan already walking beside him.
"Don't mind her, let me take you home." - Zhan.
Yibo feels sorry for Ji Xia, as a girl she is not as quick as he is. But Yibo knows Zhan has a reason why he treats Ji xia like that.
Zhan returned home after sending Yibo home, when he arrived he saw his parents were busy preparing clothes.
"Who's clothes are those, mom?" - Zhan approached her mother and gave her mother a kiss on the cheek.
"Tonight your father asked us to come to an event, it seems this is suitable for you." - Mrs. Xiao sorted through a suit for Zhan.
He just nodded yes to his mother. The Xiao family went to the intended event.
°
A sumptuous banquet where businessmen gather. Not only businessmen but their families also attended.
" Xiao Zhan "
Feeling his name was called Zhan turned to the source of the voice, Ji xia stood behind him wearing a dress that was very fitting on her body. If other men see it maybe they will immediately fall in love with her, unfortunately Zhan already knows how sly Ji Xia is.
"Come with me" - Ji Xia took Zhan to meet her friends.
A group of children of entrepreneurs who show off their belongings.
" So he's the one who made Ms. Ji crazy with just one meeting."
" He is handsome and sweet. If it were me, maybe I could be crazier than Ji Xia."
Various kinds of responses from Ji Xia's friends when they saw Xiao Zhan, from every flattery Ji Xia was increasingly attached to him. Several times he removed her hand, because Xiao Zhan felt Ji Xia was showing him off to her friends.
"Take your hand off, you make me uncomfortable." - Xiao Zhan.
Ji Xia ignored Xiao Zhan's words, and she kept talking to her friends without letting him go.
"Is he really your boyfriend???" -Ji Xia nodded.
Xiao Zhan wants to deny her but he is also a human who still has a conscience, he does not want Ji Xia to be humiliated by his friends.
"You don't believe, look." - Ji Xia.
Zhan senses that he's landing in trouble ...
" What are you doing??" - Xiao Zhan walked backwards as Ji Xia turned and approached him.
There was no time for him to flee, she pulled his neck until their lips touched each other. Despite being surprised Zhan spontaneously pushed Ji Xia until her body staggered and almost fell.
Because they were the center of attention, Zhan finally left the event. On the other hand his father and mother saw what was happening, Mrs. Xiao tried to calm down her husband so as not to get carried away.
That night it was raining, Xiao Zhan's mind was a mess. He walked under the rain, thinking about what had happened to him. He felt guilty, not for Ji Xia but for Yibo.
"Good evening, where do you want me to go ???"
Zhan stopped a taxi and with a confused mind, unconsciously gave Yibo's home address.
"Sir, it's reached."
"Why did you bring me here ???" -Xiao Zhan had just woken up from his reverie.
"So where should I take you??? I brought you to the address you gave me."
"Sorry to bother you. Thank you." - Xiao Zhan.
Since he got here, Zhan decided to meet Yibo. He knocked on the door, someone heard him ask to wait until the final door opened.
"Ah, Xiao Zhan. What are you doing, hurry up and go in." - Seeing Zhan soaking wet, Mrs. Wang was very worried.
" Can I find Yibo, auntie???" - Xiao Zhan.
"He is in the room, quickly go there and change your clothes." - Mrs. Wang.
Zhan immediately went to Yibo's room, without permission, he just walked in to make the latter surprised.
"Zhan ge, what's wrong ???" - Yibo got up from his seat and approached Zhan.
As soon as the door closed, Zhan pulled Yibo and immediately kissed him. He kisses his lover fiercely, he desperately hopes it can erase Ji Xia's kiss.
There was something different in the kiss this time, Yibo slowly opened his eyes and saw his Zhan ge kissing him with tears.
Yibo urges Zhan to release him ...
"What happened ???" - Yibo sounded worried.
Zhan slumped so that his body sat on the floor and he leaned against the edge of the bed. Yibo took a towel and sat with his legs bent in front of him to dry his hair. Zhan covered his face with both hands then sobbed.
"Sorry" - Xiao Zhan spoke between his sobs.
"What's wrong, tell me ???" - Wang Yibo.
TOK TOK TOK
Mrs. Wang enters with a tray in her hand...
"I brought something for Xiao Zhan, I put it here." - Mrs. Wang.
"Thank you, mom." - Yibo.
Mrs. Wang didn't ask why, she immediately left after keeping the tray.
Yibo's heart also felt sick to see his Zhan ge like this, he hugged the older trying to soothe him. After a while Zhan opened his hands to hug him back.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to betray you... Ji..." - Xiao Zhan.
Yibo did not interrupt his words, he just kept waiting for Zhan to finish it....
"Ji Xia kissed me."
" She kissed you, not that you kissed her. Right???" - Xiao Zhan nodded.
" So you're crying just because of that???" -Wang Yibo.
"You're not mad at me???" -Xiao Zhan.
"I believe in you, and thank you for being honest with me." - Wang Yibo.
Yibo asked Zhan to change his clothes immediately, he's afraid that tomorrow Zhan may become sick. He let the latter spend the night in his house, Zhan slept peacefully hugging his Yibo.

Since Ji xia came to see all of Zhan and Yibo's schoolmates knowing the closeness between them, there is no need to be cautious about showing affection. They are enough to care about each other.
"Today I started painting lessons, you want to come with me ???" - Xiao Zhan.
"Umm. Zhan ge, may I pick you up ???" -Wang Yibo.
Xiao Zhan nodded and ruffled Wang Yibo's hair.
Yibo did not come to Zhan's house, he's waiting at a park not so far from latter's house. Zhan does not want to add new problems by letting his father know that Yibo comes to pick up his son.
Yibo accompanied Zhan during his tutoring, and when it was finished, he approached gege to see the results of his paintings.
" Pretty good." - Yibo.
" What are you doing ??? "
"Taking a picture, and I will send it to you. And if Zhan Ge becomes a famous painter, I only want Zhan Ge to remember me on his journey." - Wang Yibo.
Accompanying and escorting someone to reach their dreams is a struggle, even though later that person chooses something else, it's to be dealt later.
There was no one besides them in that place, and when they finished packing they went out to go home.
"You can still hold his hand after embarrassing me???" -Ji xia.
"I'm sorry." - Xiao zhan.
" Sorry?? It's useless now, you don't know how people talk about me. And you're definitely not gonna like it if it were you."
"Then what can I do so that you forgive me???" - Xiao Zhan.
"I don't need to apology from you ... I just want to remind you to maintain your safety. Bye." -Ji Xia.
The girl got into her car after talking, several thugs came out from behind her car. Not only that, thugs disguised as women tried to surround them from all the directions.
If you let those people manage to surround them, then the situation will become even more dangerous. Yibo pulled Zhan out of their trap towards his motorbike, luck already accustomed it was not difficult for Yibo to start his motorbike immediately. Zhan tried to keep away the people who wanted to catch him by hitting with his bag.
"Let's go." - Wang Yibo.
They managed to escape after Wang Yibo pulled the clutch. But it is not that easy, they chase them with a motorcycle as well and the chase action ensued.
" Aaaaaaa " -Xiao Zhan.
Yibo turned his gaze and saw that someone was trying to pull his Zhan ge.
BUGK BUGK BUGK
He kicked the motorcycle on his side until both of them shook and finally gege's arm was released.
" Hold tight " - Wang Yibo.
