Yibo sat in the common room staring into space while all the other residents celebrated around him. Finally, thanks to the AI, the scientists have made a breakthrough and created a serum that immediately neutralizes the vampire virus in a fresh bite. The bitten person cannot and will not turn. Even if this works for the time being only with one bite. With several bites the poison is too strong and the serum does not help.

Nevertheless, this is a success that had to be properly celebrated by all residents of both hotel complexes. Only Yibo did not feel like celebrating at all. He was simply trying to comprehend what had gone wrong between him and Zhan over the past two weeks, which had even driven Zhan to move out of their shared apartment for the time being.

Just the thought of seeing Zhan standing in front of him with his packed bag and Zhan telling him he was temporarily moving out brought tears to Yibo's eyes. He just had to get out of the hall and wanted his peace. So he returned to the apartment where he was all alone.

A-Yuan was at the party with his grandparents and Zhan had moved out and buried himself in his work. Yet he and Zhan didn't even argue. They were still talking quietly to each other. If they talked to each other, of course. Because that didn't happen often in the past 14 days.

Yibo walked up and down the living room and finally stopped and said angrily, "Damn it! I didn't do anything wrong after all! Why did you move out Zhan?" But since Zhan wasn't there, he couldn't give him an answer either.

Angry, Yibo left the apartment and went straight to the infirmary. He wanted to talk to Zhan and he wanted to talk to him now! He would not be held back and delayed any longer now! He has finally had enough of it and wants his husband back!

For the past 14 days, Zhan had been acting strangely. Since the new group arrived at the hotel and as Yibo thought, unfortunately for him, his ex-girlfriend Lee was with them. But as soon as Yibo learned that she was with the group of new residents, Yibo went to see her and clarified the situation with her. He told her that he had fallen in love with Zhan and that they were married and even had a son. He told her that he loves Zhan more than anything. He said it clearly after she went to hug him and told him she had been looking for him for the past few months, hoping she would see him again. But Yibo knew she had lied. She had always lied. Only back then, Yibo always accepted it because he didn't care.

Finally after he made it clear that she couldn't expect anything from him, she told him it was okay and she accepted it. But then why did Zhan pull away? Didn't he trust him after all? Had Zhan lost his trust in Yibo because he was talking to Lee alone and didn't want Zhan involved? Or was Zhan upset because they didn't get to talk that night, even though they had planned to? Yibo just didn't know.

When Yibo reached the infirmary, he saw that the door to Zhan's consulting room was ajar and the light was on. He walked toward the consulting room and was about to just open the door because he was just furious when he heard soft voices. Zhan's and Lee's. So instead of rushing into the consulting room, he stopped and listened to what they were talking about.

"... said that Yibo wants me back. He told me that the first day he talked to me. He said that now that he sees me, he only realizes how much he missed me. And that he only got into this thing with you because he thought you were the only survivor and that he would never see me again." Said Lee.

"Why do you keep telling me this? Do you enjoy torturing me?" Asked Zhan. Yibo bit his fist to keep from screaming. Because it hurt him to hear that.

"No. I told you to leave him alone, though. I told you he wouldn't have the guts to tell you himself."

"And why?"

"Because your father is the boss here and he's afraid everyone will hate him then. But Xiao Zhan I tell you, you better sort it out. Because Yibo is really unhappy right now. He wants to be with me and because of you he doesn't dare."

"I can't believe that. I know Yibo loves me."

"Haha, yeah right. That's why you moved out."

"I only moved out to give Yibo the freedom to think about what he wants. I thought with your sudden appearance, he needed some time to himself to think. But not because I think he has doubts about him and me. But if he does, I want him to have the time to decide for himself what he really wants."

"As if that would do any good. He knows it already. But because he is crushed by you with your love and is under pressure because of your father, he doesn't dare to take the step and confess to me! Besides, he feels responsible for the boy."

"I can't understand why you show up at my place every day and tell me these things. I know that Yibo loves me and also our son. I know he wants to be with me and not with you! He is my husband! He's the one who proposed to me! Do you understand? He loves me and I love him. And I hate that you're trying to convince me otherwise."

"What am I trying to talk you into? I'm just telling you the truth. Yibo was my boyfriend until the day of the apocalypse. We lost sight of each other. And now that we've found each other again, he wants to be with me again."

"I don't think so."

"But it's true! Yibo is mine. So stop looking at him like that, trying to get his pity. And don't keep sending the boy to him just to make him feel bad." Lee almost shouted.

Yibo had had enough. He smashed the door open and yelled, "You lying miserable bitch! Stop telling my husband such lies! Stop trampling on his feelings! I told you two weeks ago and I'm telling you again now. I LOVE MY HUSBAND and I DO NOT WANT YOU BACK! And Zhan! Why did you keep all this from me? Are you stupid? You leave home, leave me and our son alone and don't explain why! How many times do I have to tell you that you're my everything and I don't want to be without you for even one single day?"

"Yibo I..." Began Zhan.

Yibo walked over to Zhan and wrapped his arms around him. "You are an idiot Zhan. You know better than anyone how much I love you. I don't need space or distance. I need my husband! Pack your things and come back home. Back to where you belong. By my side!"

Zhan clung to Yibo and began to sob. This was almost unbearable for Yibo to listen to. He hugged Zhan tightly and said softly, "You are my Zhan. My wonderful husband and the only one I have ever loved and will always love. Please trust me. I am not confused, nor do I need space. Come back home."

"I, I trust you. I think I was just confused myself. And I felt bad for Lee. She was telling all around that she was looking for you all these months and now she's just happy to have finally found you. I felt sorry for her because she had to learn that her search was in vain. Since I took her boyfriend away from her."

"That's what's been bothering you? Then let me tell you, you didn't take me away from her. Remember, I told you back then that I wanted to break up with her weeks before the apocalypse. I never loved her. It's only because of you that I know what love means."

"I'm sorry Yibo. I didn't mean to cause you any grief."

"Awww, you are so cute. Mhhh, who is the older of the two of us mhm? Why am I always the more reasonable one of us?"

"Because you're my husband and one of us has to be reasonable, right?"

"Yeah right. And because I love you endlessly."

"You two are so ridiculous." Lee interjected.

"Shut the fuck up! Get the fuck out of here you lying snake. And don't you ever dare come near my husband, our son, or me again. Because if you do, you won't be able to stay in this hotel any longer. Because nobody needs such lying bitches like you. Get the hell out of here!" Yibo yelled at her.

Lee stormed out of the consulting room, grumbling to herself. Yibo kissed Zhan and asked, "Will you finally come back home with me?"

Zhan nodded and said, "Of course. And please forgive me for acting so childish. I didn't mean to hurt you or cause you any grief."

"I'm sorry too ZhanZhan. I should have come and talked to you right after talking to Lee. Especially because I knew you weren't feeling well lately. I just unfortunately fell asleep at home while waiting for you. And then the conversation you and I were supposed to have kind of got lost."

"Mmm. We both messed up."

"Yes. One alone is seldom to blame. But honey tell me, how are you feeling now? Are you still in a bad mood and want to leave the hotel?"

"I don't know. I want to be where you are."

"I know. But be honest. Do you have a desire to leave the hotel?"

"Yes. Often."

"Then I have something important to tell you."

"And what?"

"Your dad has actually been able to make contact with a submarine. After I told your dad about the island and Annex C, they offered to take us to it. Since we are underwater, we are protected from creature attacks. You, our son, our parents, and me."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"No crap?"

"Yes honey."

"That's fantastic."

"It is. And one more thing. The crew from the sub still had control of a drone that they flew over the island. And they discovered in the process that there are a large number of gray creatures there."

"Huh? They're really there?"

"Yes. And it looks like they've built nests. They're having babies."

"Oh my god. We have to go there!"

"We're going to go there. We're leaving in three days."

"Oh crap."

"What?"

"Now I love you even more than I already do."

"Really? Can you show me?"

"Let's go home and I'll show you all night."

"Haha, yes that's my cute husband." Replied Yibo. All his anger was gone. Because he was able to talk to Zhan and the two of them worked out what was between them.

As for Lee, well with this one Yibo is not done yet. He will come up with a good punishment for her by the time they leave. He will not let her go unpunished. But for now, he wants to return to their apartment with Zhan and celebrate their reconciliation together. With a smile, he kissed Zhan and thought to himself, everything else will come tomorrow. Today only my Zhan counts.
