That night when Yibo came back home he saw that the house was all clean and arranged, surely Ziyi did not do this.

He went to the dining table and saw that the food was already kept there for him, he soon went to his room and saw that Ziyi was already lying on the bed.

"Ziyi are you asleep?" Yibo asked as he went beside her and saw her wide awake staring at nothing holding her stomach.

Yibo clenched his fist before he gave her a small smile, "I am back, Ziyi."

Ziyi looked up at him and blinked before she said in a slow voice that came out as a whisper, "welcome back."

Yibo smiled as he gently patted her head before he went to take a bath,  and after he came back he asked her again," have you eaten?"

"Yes," Ziyi replied before she closed her eyes indicating not to talk to her again and not to disturb her.

Yibo understood and went to eat his dinner before he came back to his room and lay on the bed.

Yibo stared at the ceiling for some time as he waited for sleep to embrace him as his mind drifted to the encounter with that man today.

Zhan still had a very strong effect on him, and he won't deny the fact that he himself had thought about Zhan a lot of time these past few years.

After all, he just left without saying a final goodbye to Zhan, however back then it was necessary as he had to handle other important matters.

Yibo then looked at Ziyi who had her back towards him before he moved ahead and hugged her from behind, "What are you doing?" she asked.

Yibo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "you look tired, I am just providing you energy."

Ziyi whose hand was still on her stomach and her gaze was downcasted, "I don't want your energy it's not like your energy is of any use."

Yibo sighed, "by the way did you do the cleaning of the house yourself?"

"No."

"I assume that someone from the agency had come to help right?"

"Hmm."

"Good, then if you get bored then you can..."

"Aren't you bored?"

Ziyi asked interrupting him Yibo paused, as Ziyi continued, "how long are you going to keep up with me? and my tantrums?"

"We have already talked about this Ziyi."

"Don't you ever feel suffocated? don't you want to go and live your life and get rid of a burden like me?"

"You are not a burden Ziyi."

"Who are you lying to, me or yourself?" Ziyi asked as she removed Yibo's hand from her body and sat up. She glared at Yibo, "The truth is that you are fed up with me it's just that you don't have the guts to leave me, but Yibo I promise I won't curse you or blame you, even if you leave..."

"That's enough." Yibo said before he turned around, "Go to sleep." he said before he closed his eyes and Ziyi sat on the bed for some time before she laid down again.

While Yibo thought about the words Ziyi said to him, as Zhan's face came before him and he sighed.

There was no use to think about those matters.

Meanwhile, Zhan also collapsed on the sofa and smiled, "you look happy." Marius spoke.

"Because I am happy." Zhan spoke with a smile "my mate is really handsome and amazing."

Marius smiled when he heard that he was happy for Zhan, "Zhan..."

"Hm..."

"How do you feel when you touch your mate?"

Zhan thought for a while before he said, "um... it's like I get electrified, the adrenaline rush that my brain released and the urge to claim him right then and it is just amazing and my nerves get filled with this refreshing energy that it's therapeutic."

Marius nodded, "do you feel like that every time you touch him?"

Zhan thought about it before he nodded, "till now I have only touched him twice and I have felt like thus both the times, and the elder had told us that this will go on till we mark and mate with our mate."

Marius nodded and Zhan asked, "why though?"

Marius sighed as he leaned back on the sofa, "I think there is something wrong with her."

Zhan's smile was gone before he asked, "Why do you say so?"

To this Marius replied, "actually I touched her hand today and the first time I felt nothing but when I touched her hand for the second time I felt something, it was exactly what you described."

Zhan looked at him, "well that's weird."

Marius sighed before he leaned back as he thought about his mate, "well find out why it happened I am going to spend more time with her any ways."

Zhan smiled, "all the best."

The next day when Yibo woke up Ziyi was sleeping, he went to take a bath and soon came out Ziyi was still sleeping.

Yibo then went to her and gently woke her up, "Ziyi wake up."

Ziyi slowly opened her eyes and looked at him, before she blinked while Yibo smiled, "I am going to work."

"Bye."

That was all she said before she went to sleep and Yubo sighed and left.

He sat in his car and drove to the office, the road in this place were actually smooth and this place was surrounded by greenery this place was closer to nature it could be a good place for Ziyi.

That is what Yibo did before he came here, he just hoped that he can cure her before things get worse.

As Yibo was thinking about all of this his car suddenly slowed down before it stopped.

"Oh come on!" he yelled before he got down from the car to see what was the matter, he opened the front as he looked at the engine, and as he was trying to find out the reason he felt the cold air blow and the tree rustled before he felt movement behind him.

And as soon as he turned around he saw an old woman standing right behind him, making him jump the woman looked blind and very old at least in her nineties with all the wrinkles on her face and hands.

"Um... can I do something for you?" Yibo asked and the woman just kept on staring at him, Yibo looked at her before he stepped and jumped at his place when he felt his phone ring.

He took his eyes off from the woman to take out his phone and when he looked up the woman was gone.

He clutched the phone tightly in his hand before he sighed, "fuck."

However, it was not over as he yelled when someone patted him on the shoulder, "WOAH!!"

But thankfully it was only Zhan.

Yibo took a deep breath as he kept his hand on his chest, "why the fuck are you here? and how dare you scare me?"

To this Zhan laughed, "Were you always such a scaredy cat?"

"Fuck you." Yibo said and Zhan smiled before he said, "car problem?"

Yibo nodded, and Zhan answered, "Want a lift?"

Yibo looked at him, "no thanks."

"Fine." Zhan said before he walked away while Yibo sighed, he could have asked one more time.

Now, what should he do? Yibo thought before Zhan came beside him with his car and blew the horn very loudly.

Yibo was startled at first but then got annoyed as Zhan did not stop blowing the horn and kept on spreading the noise pollution.

Yibo kept his hand on his ears before he yelled, "stop it, you bastard!"

Zhan smiled before he looked at him and Yibo went to his car and got his bag before he opened Zhan's car and sat on the passenger seat, Zhan stopped blowing the horn and drove the car.

And as they drove Zhan spoke, "why did you move here so suddenly?"

Yibo did not reply at first but he did after some time, "Ziyi's health is not good, so I thought it would be better to move somewhere quiet and near to nature."

Zhan nodded, "what happened to her?"

"Nothing just stress," Yibo replied absent-mindedly.

"I see." Zhan spoke and soon they reached their destination.

Yibo stepped down from the car and so did Zhan," I will pick you up, and drop your hope."

Yibo looked at him, "no that would not be necessary?"

"Why not? we will be going the same way?"

"The same way?"

Zhan smirked, "you should pay attention to your neighbors."

Yibo at first looked confused before he realized, "No way."

"Yes, way. See you in the evening" Zhan said before he sat in his car and drove away.

While smiled faintly just what the hell was it about Zhan that made him so calm?

Yibo had not seen or talked to Zhan for eight years but now they have reunited and they get along so well as if they never separated.

Was Zhan always so easy to get along with? Because Yibo does not remember him being that friendly and neither he is to get along with then the heat was so different about Zhan? Why did he feel so comfortable with him and why did he feel so safe with him?

Yibo thought about it as he walked inside his office, is it because he still had some sort of feelings for Zhan?
