"Zhan!!!" Hao Xuan screamed.
Before Wen Chao's knife could touch Zhan's body, Wen Chao screamed and collapsed on the floor. Zhan looked at collapsing Wen Chao and then looked up to find Wang Yibo standing at the door along with Song Jiyang and the police.
When Wang Yibo entered the scene, he saw Zhan shielding Hao Xuan. Without wasting a minute, Yibo took out his pocket knife and threw it towards Wen Chao aiming at his thigh. Yibo was a master when it came to archery. So his aim didn't miss and the knife got stabbed on Wen Chao's thigh. As Wen Chao fell on the floor holding his leg, the policemen surrounded Wen Chao's men.
"Zhan!!" Yibo ran towards Zhan who just collapsed on the floor. "Are you okay?" Yibo asked holding Zhan.
"I am okay," Zhan said with a feeble smile.
"What on the earth do you mean by you are okay?!" Hao Xuan shouted. "Have you seen yourself. Your face is full of bruises. Those bastards...I wanna chop their hands off!"
"Xuan, calm down," Zhan said putting his hand on Hao Xuan's shoulder while Yibo supported Zhan sitting beside him on the floor. "It doesn't matter what happened to me. Look, I have protected your Jiyang. He is safe. I didn't even let the assholes to touch him."
"Why did you do that!?" Jiyang said feeling extremely guilty. "You could have left me with those thugs." He was on the verge of crying.
"Jiyang, I am completely fine. These are just small bruises." Zhan tried to make Jiyang feel comfortable. "I am used to it."
"Let's go to the hospital," Yibo said supporting Zhan to sit comfortably.
"I am okay," Zhan said trying to sit up.
"Shut the fuck up Zhan!" Hao Xuan shouted. "You need to go to the hospital right now."
"My little Devil Hao Xuan, my sweetheart Wang Yibo will take care of me," Zhan smirked as he glanced at Yibo.
"You still have the mood to joke?" Yibo said glaring at Zhan.
"It's all my fault. I am sorry." Jiyang hung his head down. A drop of tear escaped his eyes. "I should have phoned you."
"Jiyang, it's okay," Zhan said extending his hand to wipe Jiyang's tears. "I had to protect you anyways since you are my little devil's special friend."
"What do you mean by little devil!?" Hao Xuan gave a friendly smack on Zhan's uninjured shoulder.
"Aiya, Hao Xuan, it hurts." Zhan faked his expression as if he was in pain. "You know about it."
"Wang Hao Xuan, don't act recklessly." Wang Yibo said putting his hands protectively on Zhan to shield Xuan's friendly hits. "Xiao Zhan is already injured."
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Wang. Because of you, we are able to catch these criminals." The police officer said.
"It's okay." Zhan smiled as he stood up with the help of Yibo's support. "Thank you for helping us on time."
The officer bowed to Zhan and his team and took away Wen Chao and his men.
"Who are they?" Wang Yibo asked looking at Hao Xuan.
"Hey! Wang Yibo, won't you ask me?" Zhan pouted looking at Yibo.
"It's related to our past." Hao Xuan said as if he regretted his past.
"Hao Xuan, you don't need to feel sad," Zhan said as he understood Xuan felt guilty. "You were a victim as well."
"What!?" Jiyang gasped. "Did they rape you?"
"Jiyang!?" Yibo looked at his friend with 'are you kidding' look.
"Jiyang!?" Hao Xuan blurted out gaping at Jiyang's wild imagination. "I am not that weak."
"Pffft...hahaha... Jiyang ah Jiyang." Zhan tried to control his laughter. "Don't worry, they didn't even lay their hands on him."
"Jiyang, why did you phone Zhan instead of me?" Yibo said
"You could have phoned me either." Hao Xuan said feeling a little hurt.
"Well, that because..." Jiyang rubbed his nape. "Xiao Zhan's name was there in the first in my call log list."
"What!!?" Hao Xuan and Yibo said in unison while Zhan's brain took time took time to process that sudden news.
"Song Jiyang!" Hao Xuan raised his voice. "Do you have a crush on Xiao Zhan or what!? Do you really like him?"
"No no..." Jiyang shook his head vigorously. "It's...Yibo asked me for Xiao Zhan's number and while sending the number to him, I mistakenly phone Xiao Zhan. Before the ring could start I cut the call. So...Xiao Zhan's number is there first in my call log."
"Wang Yibo asked for Xiao Zhan's number!?" Hao Xuan's eyes widened as he shifted his gaze from Jiyang to Yibo while the latter looked away to avoid being asked.
"Why not Little Devil?" Zhan smirked. "He is my friend. So he can have my phone number."
"Stop calling me Little Devil!" Hao Xuan whined.
"Why do you call Hao Xuan Little Devil ?" Jiyang asked innocently.
"Jiyang, we can discuss this later." Yibo interrupted. "Zhan is injured and he needs rest."
"Hao Xuan, drop Jiyang at his home," Zhan said trying to stand without Yibo's help.
"Zhan, you are not in the state to stand of your own," Yibo said trying to support Zhan.
"Wang Yibo, actually I am capable of fighting again," Zhan smirked as he stood straight and moved his head sideways to activate his resting neck muscles.
"You don't need to act as a hero now." Hao Xuan rolled his eyes. "Or...should I tell jiejie?"
"Hao Xuan!" Zhan shouted. "You are blackmailing me?! You are blackmailing your childhood friend?! Oh my God! Wang Yibo, protect me, I don't want to live anymore." Zhan said, dramatically falling into Yibo's arms.
"Zhan, you know what, you become hyperactive when you are injured." Hao Xuan said and then looked at Yibo. "Wang Yibo, this big kid needs you. Take care of him."
"By the way, Hao Xuan, don't tell anyone about this," Zhan said in a serious tone. "Not even to Meng Ziyi."
"But they will eventually find it out." Hao Xuan replied worriedly.
"Don't worry." Zhan smiled. "I will stay at Li Bowen's house for a few days. I cannot let Shijie see me like this. You don't know, how ferocious she will become if she finds me injured like this."
"Will you go to university tomorrow?" Hao Xuan asked.
"Mn." Zhan nodded. "It has been almost 5 to 6 days that I didn't attend university."
"You are not allowed to attend," Yibo said coldly. "You are still injured."
"I agree with Yibo," Jiyang said.
"I cannot stay idle at home." Zhan sighed. "I already missed important classes related to important business."
"Ziyi will find out if you attend classes." Hao Xuan said.
"I will tell her about this." Zhan smiled. "Hao Xuan, we got two tigresses with us. Both Ziyi and my shijie becomes ferocious like tiger is they find me like this."
"I agree." Hao Xuan chuckled. "I really do like both our tigresses."
"Leave it," Zhan said. "Hao Xuan, go home now. It's already 1:00 am. Yibo will take care of me. So don't worry. Take care of Song Jiyang."
Saying so all of them left that abandoned house. Hao Xuan left first with Jiyang and then Zhan was about to get into the car, Yibo interrupted him forcing him to sit in the passenger's sear beside the driver's seat. Zhan at first opposed the idea but he was too tired to drive, so he let Yibo drive the car.
As Yibo was driving the car, he found an unusual silence. He wondered why Zhan wasn't saying anything or teasing him. It felt odd. When he turned his face to check on Zhan, he found him sleeping like a kid. Yibo's lips curve up into a smile. 'Sleeping like a kid' Yibo thought as he drove the car.
After 40 minutes they reached Zhan's home. Yibo unfastened his seat belt along with Zhan's. Zhan was so tired that he even didn't stir.
"Xiao Zhan," Yibo called softly to wake him up but Zhan didn't even move. "Xiao Zhan wake up. Xiao Zhan." Yibo shook Zhan gently and then Zhan opened his eyes.
"What happened? Let me sleep." Zhan mumbled as he turned his face other side avoiding Yibo.
"Zhan, first let's get into the house okay? Then you can sleep as much as you want." Yibo gently said.
Zhan looked at Yibo like a kid who just woke up unwillingly. He got out of the car and stood before the door. Yibo followed him.
"Type the pin code," Zhan said.
"You tell your on code to random strangers!?" Yibo asked in surprise.
"No," Zhan said yawning. "You are not a stranger. Type the pin and open the door. I want to sleep."
Zhan instructed Yibo and the latter opened the door. As Zhan stepped himself, he let his body fall on the couch.
"Zhan! Not here." Yibo sat as Zhan made himself adjust comfortably on the couch.
"I know." Zhan rubbed his eyes. "Go to my room and take whatever dress you want from my wardrobe and change your dress. I am coming after drinking water."
Yibo nodded and went upstairs. Zhan lazily got up from the couch. He poured water into his glass and was about to take a sip suddenly he heard Wang Yibo's voice.
"Xiao Zhan!!!! What is this!!!!!???????"
