-24- Moving house

I have never been so afraid of Zhan as that night when Wooseok called me and I heard my ex's voice through the cell phone. I didn't think long, got dressed and ran off. Luckily it wasn't very far and I was there in time to save Zhan from his ex who had also shown up.

And honestly? If Zhan hadn't stopped me, I would have killed that dirty bastard!

It had taken a long time before Zhan confided in me that his ex had beaten him and locked him in a small room for days. And then his ex got away with it because Zhan didn't want to report him. He Peng had almost begged him to file a report, not to underestimate the danger. But Zhan didn't listen to him, maybe he was afraid he would make things worse.

When we went to He Peng the day after the incident in the supermarket, he was relieved that Zhan finally understood that his ex never gives up. We also learned that his ex had apparently had an incident like this before. But since the report was withdrawn at the time, he got off scot-free.

I also stated that I beat up Zhan's ex. But He Peng just laughed and said I didn't have to worry, because I defended and saved Zhan when I realized the emergency situation in which Zhan was.

Still, I was very worried about all this. I don't mean that I hit him, I would have liked to give him more beatings. But how great the danger was.

After the incident in the supermarket, I thought a lot and asked myself how we could avoid such situations in the future. Because I don't think that Zhan's ex, despite a restraining order according to which he is not allowed to come within 40 meters of Zhan, will stick to it and ambush Zhan again.

After we filed the report, the judge quickly decided that Zhan's ex is not allowed to approach him anymore. We hired a lawyer who took care of this quickly. However, he also said that he does not believe that Zhan's ex will follow the restraining order.

I also want to prevent Zhan and my ex from seeing each other again. The last time, his words alone had hurt Zhan more than punches could do. And even though Zhan said he was fine, I knew he wasn't. I looked at him and saw how much all this was bothering him.

So I talked to my parents and my family and asked them what advice they had. And they all said the same thing. Moving!

I thought about it and agreed with them. The only thing that could help now would simply be to move. So I talked to Zhan about it and he looked at me sadly. "I love this apartment and this neighborhood. I don't want to move." He said.

"ZhanZhan, I want to. I want you to be in a safe environment. I don't want you to be afraid to go out alone. And maybe you'll like the idea more if I tell you we could rent a house. A house where you can set up your own studio, where you can paint and work creatively."

"I don't know. I mean sure, it would be nice to have a room like this. But where are we going to find such a house? And how far away from work would it be?"

"ZhanZhan, I'm always driving anyway. So you don't have to worry about driving to work. And, you might like to know that the house next door to my parents' is vacant."

"That cute house with the blue door?"

"That's the one."

"Mhhh."

"We can always come and see it. And it's been newly renovated. There is the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, two bathrooms, and three more rooms. One could be our guest room. One our office and the other your own studio." Somehow I have to make it appetizing for him.

"That sounds pretty good, but..."

"ZhanZhan, I forgot There's even a little garden, a pool and a whirlpool."

"Ahem. Okay. But isn't it very expensive?"

"The rent is very high indeed, yes. It would probably be cheaper to buy the house."

"Mhhh."

"We can buy it if you want to." I can see he's struggling.

"Well, maybe we should check it out. At least then we would be closer to your parents. Just in case something came up."

"Yeah, sure, Zhan. We have to remember that my parents are old and will need more help soon." Oh God he's so cute. I know he loves my parents very much, just like they love him. And the fact that he can be closer to them makes him think.

I probably could have made this house so attractive to him too, but when he thought about my parents, he said: "Then let's call the realtor tomorrow so we can take a look at the house?"

"Sure, baby, anything you want." That's what I said.

That was a week ago now. We went to see the house and Zhan loved it. We put an offer on the house the same day. Just an hour later, the realtor called us and told us that we could buy the house. We immediately went to the bank with our financial advisors and applied for a loan.

This all happened very quickly, like so many things with us, and was even processed immediately. Therefore, we were able to finish the house buying just two days later. We also quit our apartment immediately. And the best thing is, our families put together and paid half of the house and in one week we are moving.

Already in one week we will live in our house and I will finally be able to sleep more calmly again. 

Zhan and I are even taking a course in self-defense together now. Actually, I only wanted to have Zhan do the course. But after watching it, I found it very interesting and decided to take part as well.

By the way, there are new rumors in our company. According to them, the company's chairman is planning to replace our boss. Currently they are probably looking for a suitable successor within the company.

Zhan told me that our boss is not going to be fired at all, he is just going to be transferred to another company. Maybe one where he can do no harm?

Well, anyway, Zhan also said that our boss suggested me as his successor. And that the company chairman is very impressed with my work. So Zhan thinks I could take the position and then Zhan would work for me as my assistant. I asked him if that would bother him, but Zhan immediately shook his head and said, "I can think of many things my boss could do with me." Ha ha, that's right, that's my ZhanZhan.

I wondered if I would be a good boss and Zhan immediately thought of what I could do with him as his boss.

And I also have an update on our receptionist. Zhan still hates her and every time they look at each other they exchange deadly looks. Yesterday he stood next to her and pointed at me. I heard him say to her, "Look at him calmly. He's absolutely sexy, isn't he?"

She stared at me and said, "Yes, he is. So?"

"And all you see is him dressed. You should see his abs, they're amazing."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Oh, I just wanted to show off what you'll never have. Yibo is mine. I allow you to look at him as much as you want. But I want you to remember that I'm the only one who can touch and kiss him."

"You're an asshole, Xiao Zhan." She said angrily.

And Zhan said, "Mmm, I'd love to. And by the way, Yibo finds it very unhygienic how you chew on your pen when you stare at him."

"I'm not chewing on my pen!"

"Oh, yeah, right. Then why is a piece of your pen missing? I can even see the teeth marks on it."

So she took her pen and threw it in the trash. She looked at me, looking for help. But I'm not crazy enough to help her. When Zhan is jealous, he's very scary Even for me! Besides, I don't feel like his punishments anymore, they are always mean!

Recently we went to an underwear store. Zhan tried on several clothes. And there was this one boxer short that really showed off his butt. He looked so damn hot and sexy. And what does Zhan say: "Too bad you can only see it this one time. Because Yibo, I can't reward you for talking to that stupid cow from the reception again."

I was really disappointed. And I think the receptionist is something like his archenemy. It's only because of her that I've had so many punishments that I'm slowly starting to consider her my archenemy too.

Because of her, I am no longer allowed to watch Zhan shower or shower with him many times. I could only look at him but not touch him. I showed him a heart and threw him an air kiss, he caught both with his hand, threw it on the floor and stepped on it. He deliberately did not use my favorite perfume on him. I was not allowed to lay my head on his lap and he did not stroke my head. And what was really mean, he pretended to forget what I like best in bed.

So I should help her with Zhan? I'm not crazy! Who knows what punishment he'll think of next. No, no, not with me anymore. She has to go through that alone. Everyone fights for himself!
