"Come in" yibo mannerly said

Zhan hesitatedly walked in.

Yibo just take a glance at zhan after that he turned his face and walked to the bed

"Hi zhan ge!! How is life treating you?"- yibo asked normally

Zhan got stunned hearing the word "zhan ge" from yibo's mouth.. he couldn't imagine that yibo would call him gege anymore in his life...

"Huh.. ah.. I.. I'm good.. what about you bobo" - zhan called him bobo as yibo addressed him gege first, so he doesn't want to put him in difficult situation to called yibo another name or something else.. if yibo wants to be with him normally then he goes with his wishes..

"Well as you can see I'm full in my plate " - yibo

"Oh yes, as a owner of a company, there are so many responsibilities on you. So you have to keep up with your work" - zhan proudly said,

Seeing that yibo smiled..

"Yeah right"- yibo said.. the room become silent for a few minutes, they doesn't know what suppose to say to keep their conversation on.. Zhan looks left and right and took a glance of yibo's whole room to get away his nervousness.

"Mom told me that you want to meet me"- zhan

"Hmm"- yibo calmly looks at him

Again they become silent..but this silence is hunting zhan internally ..yibo turned his face and start doing his work

"I didn't think that you would want to meet me "- zhan

Yibo paused. "But why"- yibo curiously asked while turning his face to him

Seeing yibo's gaze zhan stepped back unconsciously,he still has fear to get rude behaviour from yibo like before he used to get .. but when he saw that yibo didn't come near to him,he composed himself..

" i .. i.. thought...you are mad at me bcz of what i had done with you 5 years ago. "- zhan said with a sad face.

Yibo expression changed into a cold face.. seems like he doesn't want to recall that memories..

He came close to zhan and pinned him on the wall in a fast way.

"Listen.. i told you before that i can't hate you or mad on you.. whatever happened 5 years ago i didn't want to remember that. And you shouldn't have remind me that.. it would be better for you to forget the past too.. got it!!" - yibo said but while saying that he came very close to zhan that he merely a inches away from zhan. Zhan's tightly closed his eyes,and clenched his both hand, his heart beat getting faster feelings the closeness between them which makes zhan's heart came out from his body. Yibo who didn't notice when he came this much close to him while saying..

After realising that he immediately left  zhan from his grab and stepped back .. He couldn't believe on himself how he just acted like a jerk.. How can he lose his temper, he was about to lose his temper on him earlier.. yibo regret , he cleared his throat

"Nothing can happen like you thought.. so I'm not angry with you.and i also respect your decision." - yibo calmly said. 

While saying that yibo take out a gift from this bag and gave it to zhan..

"What is it "- zhan asked with a questioning face

"Check it yourself later.."- yibo said

""But why are you giving me this""- zhan surprisingly asked..

"It's not I'm only giving you this, don't think yourself special.. I brought a gift for everyone.. and for this reason i wanted to meet you"...

Yibo's words hurts zhan's heart like someone stubbing in his heart,

what's his fault??!.. he also didn't want to divorce him and apart from him.. he had to do that to save him, to save him from the cruel society, society's opinion and their behaviour towards gay couples, he doesn't want to put him on shame..

When zhan about to get out of the room he stopped by yibo

"Are you happy now ??" - yibo

Zhan paused for a moment, hearing the question, he doesn't know if yibo mocking him or really concerned about him coz yibo's voice was neutral.. it's hard to judge 

"Hmm..Why wouldn't i!!?"- saying that zhan left without took a glance of him.

Yibo was silently looking at the direction from where zhan left..

But he saw jhingtong zhang staring at him from afar, when their eyes met, she also left from there..

Yibo who is a smart guy, got it that she must kept her eyes on them.. yibo shake his head disbeliefly.. after that he locked his room's door..

At night

Zhan couldn't sleep for a second. He just tossed and turned in his bed after meeting with yibo, he couldn't put up with his feelings,he wanted to hug yibo badly but he couldn't,only he knows how was he holding himself back to hug him. Only he knows how he has been passing all this years hiding his emotions from everyone for him.

He pretended happy but the truth is he wasn't..and when yibo asked him if he is happy or not.. he felt like he became expose before yibo, who might found out that he wasn't really happy..

All this years zhan couldn't forget him for a second in his mind and now when yibo is before his eyes ,he can be able to hug him, can't tell him about his feelings, can't tell how much he missed him, he feels regret coz all of this happens only for him, it's he who force yibo to leave him, and there is nothing but regret coz even if he wants to hug him, confessed his love to him, he can't do that where his hand is binding, the only thing he can do is just bury his feelings before everyone for him..

But inside him only he knows how is he suppressed his feelings for him.. thinking all of this his heart become heavy. He feels like he needs to deal with his feelings. So

Zhan went to the rooftop to refresh his mind. But when he came to the rooftop there wasn't only him

"Zhan ge" - some one called him after seeing zhan

"Kuan"- zhan didn't expect to see him at this moment here.They both get shocked to see each other in the middle of the night.."Kuan why haven't you slept yet?"

"So you are ge"- kuan cleared.

"Yeah, right!! "" zhan slowly set beside him..

Both of them are looking on the sky while admiring the stars silently for a while..

"Zhan ge"- kuan call breaking the silence  without looking at zhan,

"Hmm"- zhan's response

"He acted normally than my thoughts."- haixuan said  .

Zhan look at him

"Did he act the same to you ge?"- haixuan asked.

"Hmm" - zhan.. both get silent again

"He hurts so much that he can't even want to bring the past now.. i thought i can explain myself before him but he didn't give me the chance, he didn't let me to talk about the past.. instead he happily talk with me and even i got a gift from him which i didn't expect for"- haixuan said while being emotional holding the gift in his hand ..

Zhan still remaining silent..

"I think i won't get the chance to apologise him, will we able to get him back ge as before he used to be with us?? I missed him so much"- haixuan said in a crying voice.

Saying that zhan can't help but hug him ."Stop being grampy kuan.. we all knows he needs time to adjust with us. So just let him free for whatever he wants to do and be with us." Zhan said while stroking haixuan hair..

"Ge he is misunderstood you. Why aren't you tell him the truth, if you tell him the reason behind the divorce, he probably leave his anger, and come back to his normal self.."

Hearing haikuan's word zhan face expression get dark.he closed his eyes and some flashes come in his mind.

"Mother what do you want me to do to forgive my mom and my foster family!?"- zhan asked to jhingtong zhang

"I don't want much. Just divorce him"- jhingtong zhang..

Hearing this zhan stepped back in shocked... Zhan couldn't believe what jhingtong zhang was asking from him.. just few hours ago he got married with yibo. Even if this marriage has done in a mess condition but he wants to continue this marriage with his beloved.but he didn't understand why jhingtong zhang asking him to divorce him but he wouldn't dare to asked him that

Seeing zhan's puzzle looks jhingtong zhang said.. " no one takes your wedding as a normal marriage, you aren't a normal couple.. life would be hard if you think to continue this marriage. Everyone will be pointing fingers at your mother's nurturing teachings, will you like it? How will you protect your family from this humiliating situation?

Not only that it will be dangerous for yibo too, homosexual men are not looked upon well in the society plus it makes their life miserable, they have to face thousands of dangers.

Where you two are one of the top businessman's sons in the world, people see you as their idol,  no one will let you easily after doing this controversial thing.within a minute your dad's business will fall down, his proud, his respect, his goodwills will be vanished in a second which he has been gaining over the years..do you want to put your family in this bad situation which family has been rising you all this years,

Are you ready to face all of this.?? If you can do this then you can go ahead..or if not, then give him divorce so that we can live peacefully under the one roof top" - jhingtong zhang cleared

Zhan become speechless,he didn't say anything just he nodded in agreement... Flashback end..

Zhan opened his eyes and a drop of tear fallen down.if it was about himself to bear all this pains,sorrows and dangers, he would happily Accept all of this for being with yibo but how could he put his beloved and families life in dangers..he can't be selfish so he accepted jhingtong zhang proposal.. zhan adjust his emotions immediately

"No.it's nothing matters now .what will i tell him? If i say him that mom made me divorce him, would he believe me?? .. even if i told him that mother asked me to divorce him, it won't change the fact that it's i who divorced him and it was my decision thought. No one could make me do that, if i didn't want to do.."- zhan said

Haikuan got stunned hearing that.. he surprisingly looking at zhan..

"Lair.. I know gege you love him so much that you can never tear yourself away from him,even every night I saw you hugging his shirt thinking of him while sleeping, then if you really wanted to divorce him when why did you do all this,why do you pretend for that you doesn't care about him!!" - haikuan thoughts and wanted to asked all this but he would rather keep silent instead of hurts his gege by saying that..

The Next day Early in the morning..

zhan came downstairs and get to see haoxuan, ziyi and wang shi excitedly questioning around yibo who was trying to escape from them but he couldn't.. seeing yibo's helpless face zhan let out a sweet smile on his face unwillingly which didn't take time to catch yibo's attention..

seeing yibo's gaze on him all of a sudden, zhan's smile disappeared immediately. Zhan couldn't understand what to say now. He is about to wave his hand dumbly but stopped in the middle after releasing what he is going to do..

Feeling embarrassed, zhan immediately rushed to the kitchen to hide his burning red face..

Seeing zhan running away like this yibo smirked, meanwhile zhan's heart start beating fast, his ears & cheeks are burning to red

Seeing zhan's cherry red face Carmen lee and jhingtong zhang who are in the kitchen making breakfast for their family members, got stunned thinking what happened with him, Carmen lee came to check his body temperature to find if he has any fever or something..but zhan ensure them that he is okay while hiding his shyness..

he doesn't want to let them know about his feelings, zhan tried hard to hide his feelings for yibo but it's came on his face.he feels like he is falling in love badly like a teenager who fall in love in the first time. Realising his own feelings a drop of tear fallen down onto the floor, thinking that how bad luck he is,

when he really love yibo so much, he can't even express it to him, it's made him upset immediately..

Nowadays zhan has been passing his days happily to have yibo beside him, Zhan can't help but sneaks glances at yibo for few days and turns away whenever their eyes meet,

On the other hand yibo has been so co-operative and helpful to his family that his behave making them curious coz he has been behaving polar opposite of their thoughts. It's beyond their expectation..yibo was supposed to act like a mad at then or cold guy but he acted nicely towards them  but whatever happens it not bad at all.

Where two families are filled with joy arranging the marriage of cheng and haikuan.Where both yibo and zhan put their past aside and work on the whole marriage together..

haikuan who is getting married to xuan lu, they fell in love when xuan lu started help him doing his projects. To see xuan Lu's innocent heart and social butterfly nature haikuan doesn't know since when he has feelings for her.. but when he proposed him earlier xuan lu accept it. So both of them confessed their relationship before their families where at first both families got shocked but soon they agreed of thinking their happiness ..

Seeing that Cheng didn't want to lose the opportunity,he immediately called ziyi, when ziyi came in the wang mansion, he dragged ziyi to his patients in a hurry and Seeking permission to marry her..

seeing Cheng's sudden explosion everyone got shocked, ziyi wasn't exception. Where she couldn't make out that when she told him to marry her or if he asked her permission before presenting her before his parents, and if she wasn't wrong , neither did Cheng proposed her nor they was in a relationship. It's another matter that she loves him too but yet how could he asked permission from his parents before confessed her.. he should have confused her first..But ziyi let it go when Cheng's family agreed to merry them. So they fixed both the couples marriage in same day. This is how both couple's marriage fixed..

at present both brothers zhan and yibo are arranging whole marriage together happily But whenever yibo comes to zhan's way, zhan couldn't hold his emotions to appear on his face..but their interaction can't hide from jhingtong zhang eyes and others..

Like some times ago when yibo was helping zhan to manage all the guest to sit their respective seats they interacted with lusi, yes zhan himself invite her. When lusi saw how yibo and zhan works together she couldn't help herself but speak to zhan about yibo.

"Zhan did you notice one thing that yibo still love you... I can clearly see the love in his eyes as like before for you..." - lusi said while observing yibo's behaviour towards zhan. Coz since when zhan started talking with her, yibo's happy facial expressions changed into dark face... Where yibo doesn't know lusi and zhan become good friends now so he glared her from afar.. seeing his glare lusi can't help but smile which made zhan feelings shy..

Where zhan couldn't believe on lusi's words. He takes yibo's reaction as brother's concern. So to prove zhan that she is right ,she decided to tease yibo a little bit.as thinking she pretending to fall down but before she could zhan help her to stand up but by doing this they become very close like hugging each other. Seeing that yibo with in a minute came to apart them. He pulled zhan towards himself quickly and stand zhan beside him..

"Excuse me..Gege mom calls you, let's go"- saying that yibo dragged zhan to his parents.. while dragged by yibo zhan looks back to see lusi, where lusi smilingly make a gusture to him like she wanted to say " see.. i told you, aren't he get jealous?!"

After seeing that zhan looks at yibo's face and get to see a jealous reaction on his face. Realising that zhan's heart beats getting faster,zhan feels like there wasn't anyone except them, he continues looking at him without blinked eyes, maybe yibo also feel that zhan continuously looking at him so he looked back with a questioning gaze

"Is there something stuck on my face?"- This question is enough for zhan came out from his dream world. Zhan blushed badly.. so he let himself free from yibo's grip and run away to his mom Carmen lee.. where jhingtong zhang and mr. Jiang were watching them from afar..

Mr.jinag who knows his wife well that She doesn't like zhan's and yibo's interaction much, seeing at her with concerning face for zhan. But she ignored it and walked to Carmen lee's direction where zhan was.

Their marriage have done smoothly. Where all of them are happy to see newlyweds couples..As the saying goes, happiness never long lasting .. they have forgotten that yibo and wang shi will leave after the wedding.

When they are busy with teasing Cheng and meng ziyi as well as haikuan and xuan lu, yibo become upset, remembering that he has to leave tomorrow morning and he doesn't want to ruin their happiness. That's why he silently went to upstairs to pack his belongings coz he won't get packing time early in the morning.

Zhan who was busy with teasing newlyweds couples, notice that there wasn't yibo, zhan got confused,he glanced the whole living room to find him but he couldn't get the figure he wanted to see. "Just a second ago he was sitting there before my eyes!! how a man could disappeared within a second just when i blinked my eyes.."

In yibo's room..

While packing this stuff he paused to hold a camera in his hand..yibo stare at the camera for a while silently..

"Even if you won't be mine, your memories are enough for me to live. And it's all mine now. No one can snatch your memories from me. Now I don't have any fear to lose you.. it's going to be mine forever ge. And this all are my hopes to live rest of the life" -  yibo said himself

Yibo turned on the camera to see the pictures and videos where haoxuan captured each of zhan and yibo's interaction during these days. Yibo feels grateful to haoxuan..

Yibo got emotional to see one picture of zhan where zhan was seeing him with a loving eyes and their hands were joined with each others .. haoxuan captured this picture when ziyi throw her wedding flower to catch by the unmarried couples but it's came to zhan's hand where zhan didn't want to catch it so he took his steps back which made him falling but before he could fall yibo hold him into his arms..

Yibo caressed the picture while remembering the memory of the incident..but he interrupted by zhan who suddenly got into his room by calling his name bobo..

Seeing zhan got into his room,yibo immediately turned his hand back side to hide the camera.

But it's too late, it can't hide from zhan's eyes.. zhan with a questioning gaze looking at the direction where yibo is trying to hide the camera..

"What are you trying to hide from me bobo.."- zhan curiously asked

"What's bring you here gege?.." - yibo trying to change the topic

"Oh I'm coming to take you downstairs. Why did you come here suddenly??you know cheng and haikuan are about to leave with ziyi and jiejie to the airport, They are calling you.."- zhan said

Yibo nods "okay let's go"

Yibo left the room with Zhan but before leaving the room he hide the camera in his bag, again this can't hide from zhan's eyes. But he didn't say anything to him

Few minutes late.

Zhan silently came into yibo's room..he wonders what yibo was trying to hide from him so due to the curiosity he came to find it

At first he saw the haft packed bag, which made him surprised..

"What was into this bag.let me see first" even though zhan is curious but he can't guess anything about yibo's leaving. Coz he thought that yibo has come here for  forever and won't go back to abroad anymore,so he was unaware of yibo's leaving but he doesn't know why he has an unknown fear to open it ...his heart beats with an unknown fear..

Zhan with a hesitate hand opened the bag to see what yibo was trying to hide from him. Zhan didn't find anything important except all of yibo's necessary stuff into the bag but what he got something important into his hand which is yibo's air ticket ..

"What is it! "- zhan with a racing heart beats see the ticket " a ticket"

Zhan hearts aches,,zhan didn't take time to realise that yibo is going to leave them again, realising that zhan loosened his holding which made the ticket fallen on the floor.. he sit beside that with a broken heart, a drop of tears falling down..

"Why bobo!! What makes you leave us this time!!?"- zhan mumbled

Zhan silently sits there for a while staring at the ticket without blinked eyes .. he wants to tore it into million pieces, burnt it into the ashes, even if he do what he wanted to do,yet he can't make him stop to leave him,,if yibo made his mind then no one can stop him doing that. He knows how self-willed he is. zhan doesn't know what should he do now to make him stop.if there will be any way to make him stop, he can do that nevertheless he doesn't want to leave him this time..

After staring for a while he pick the ticket up, he forgot to check the date of his leaving, zhan thought if he knows about of yibo's leaving time then he would do something before his leaving. But he can't have courage to see the departure time and date of the ticket.

When zhan was the time and date he couldn't believe on his eyes. So he rubs his eyes to see the clear view of the ticket. After seeing the time and date clearly he got frozen in his place..

On the other hand in the living room.. wang shi asked to yibo if he has told them already or  is he going to tell them about their leaving ?

Hearing her question yibo looks at his family members,he doesn't know how to say about his leaving to his family just after the wedding ceremony.

Yibo was waiting patiently to leave the wedding couples to their honeymoon... After their leaving he prepared himself to inform his parents about his leaving in the next morning.

Yibo with a emotionless face looks at his parents, he doesn't want to show his emotions on his face..he calmly called his parents where mr.wang and Carmen lee excitedly sharing their marriage day memories with mr. And mrs. Jiang. they enjoying their times while telling their wedding stories which made them forgot about others..

Seeing that wang shi asked to yibo "Can't we stay one more day here?"

Yibo shake his head in no without looking at her while staring his parents to find a way to tell them about his leaving without hurting them.

"Then please let go tonight. Tell them tomorrow in the morning, Don't make them sad now"- wang shi whispered to yibo while understanding his situation..

Yibo looked at her, he agreed and headed to his room.

When he came into his room he got frozen in his place to see the front view... Zhan who is sitting on the floor hugging his knees to his chest while hiding his face into this.

Yibo get concern so he came fastly to zhan to check if he is okay or not..

"Ge.. what happened?"- yibo asked in a concerning Voice.

Zhan looked up... Seeing zhan's messed face yibo get panicked, he feel a sharp pain in his chest.. he can't put up with zhan's tears

"What made you sobbing like this ge!!"Yibo asked while wiped zhan's tears with his thumbs lovingly.. zhan didn't say anything but closed his eyes while feelings the love touch from the person he love too. Zhan just wants to melt in his touch. Zhan's tears again started falling..

Seeing zhan silently cry, yibo couldn't help but kiss him on his forehead, yibo forgot their situation or relationship between them for a moments.

"Don't cry please"- yibo whispered, Zhan slowly opened his eyes to see him

"Why are you leaving us again?"- zhan asked directly without twisting his words with a teary eyes. He let out his true emotions for him unconsciously,he couldn't hide it anymore, he's fed up pretending not to care about him.

As long as zhan asked the question, yibo's thumbs stopped in the middle,his face reaction turned into cold, he left Zhan's face immediately..for a few moments he forgot about everything to see his beloved zhan in pain. But when the reality hits him, he came back to his senses..

Yibo stood up and turned his face while saying sorry to zhan. Zhan disbeliefly looking at him.

"Is it for me!!?"- zhan asked, yibo turned to him.

"Huh!! What did you say that?"- yibo said

"Are you leaving us just bcz of me?"- while asking this zhan's heart aches.

"No. What made you think that!??. I'm going back for my own business work..you know i can't stay here long.."- yibo become silent.

"If I'm not the reason then why are you going so soon after the wedding.. hadn't you shifted here forever and how many days are you going for? When will you come back?"- zhan asked all of this in one breath, zhan can't wait to know all of this. He feels like his life is going to leave his body. His body trembling..

Yibo can clearly see the restlessness in zhan but he can't do anything..

"Forever!!..I'm not gonna come back?"- yibo declared and turned back, he can't see zhan's sad face. Its hurts him.

Zhan eyes get widened..zhan shockingly stood up and turn yibo to himself angrily..

"What did you say just!!"- zhan angry asked. This time his whole body burning like a fire due to anger.

Yibo narrowed his eyes, he didn't understand why was zhan behaving like this..

"You can't go.. you're not allowed to go anywhere, I'm not allow you this time.do you get it.. "-, zhan said while shaking yibo with his both hand.

Yibo smirked..

"First of all gege you can't do that.even if you do that, why would i listen to you to take my life's decisions..but what i can't understand is, why are you acting like that gege like my husband?.... Yibo paused,, as long as zhan heard that he loosened his grip of his hand,,

Yibo continued..."And more important what the rights you have to keep me here gege?? where i don't want to stay.... i have nothing to stay here. So I'd rather go where my business is.. right..??? everyone thinks about their own life, thinks about their own happiness, you also do the same, so am i.. Moreover I've never stopped you from doing anything, I didn't even want to know why you made a decision in your life, so why are you stopping me now? Aren't you being so mean to me gege....  "

Zhan left yibo's arms as soon as he heard yibo's harsh words towards him,he couldn't believe that yibo replied like that.. zhan used to see yibo obedient to him, he doesn't know since when he changed like this..

Zhan smiled bitterly.. he knows..everyone thinks about him that he is happy in his life and has been enjoying his life peacefully. But no one can see and trying to find out about his pain behind his smiling face..and now his beloved one also think the Same things about him. How lucky he is he wonders..

Was he wrong? If he wanted to save his younger brother from the dirty thoughts of the society.? His families and friends known him as a heartless person towards yibo but they can't see his hiden love for yibo,he also love him, for protect him and keep him safe, he smilingly endured all of people's heartless comments and thoughts..

Zhan closed his eyes once to adjust himself before speak.." please don't go'"- Zhan pleading while forgetting yibo's harsh words.

"You don't get to have your way always!..It doesn't work that way gege!"- saying that yibo left zhan alone in the room.

'"All i ever said to him was just don't go,and he just Stormed out of the room, did i make this that mad!? " Zhan asked himself with a broken heart 💔.

Yibo went to the rooftop angrily and punched the wall randomly..he wants to screamed loudly to let out his pains but he couldn't

Few hours later Middle in the night..

After let out of his anger yibo is heading to his room but he bumped into jhingtong zhang..

Yibo ignored her and about to pass by her but he stopped by her

"Don't get carried away by Zhan's emotional blackmail.. remember your words"- jhingtong zhang said..

Yibo turned to her and smirked..

"Are you stalking us!!? You even called yourself mom of him, can't you see his pains, are you blind !!,," yibo said in a cold voice.. Yibo doesn't mad at zhan,he Stormed out of the room just bcz he can't see zhan's painful face. It's hurts him a lot.

" It's nothing much painful from what I'm saving him and i don't want to argue with you, just do as we made the deal."- jhingtong zhang said and left from there without listening yibo's reply..yibo just clenches his hand due to anger.. he coldly looking at the direction where jhingtong zhang was disappeared..

When yibo get back in his room he found zhan fallen asleep while waiting for him..

Yibo came close to him, carried him to the bed and laid him in the bed in the right position. After placed him safely he staring him for a while..he seems like thinking something while staring zhan. While thinking yibo trying to wipe zhan's dry tear.

"I hope ge you will find your life's goal and be happy in your life forever, just can't take to much to take your decision.." yibo said softly while caressing zhan's cheeks..

(A/N: sorry dears.. i couldn't make it complete today..it will be one or two more parts 😗🙂 )
