Xiao Zhan's first instinct was to kick Wang Yibo out, after all he came without warning, like an emperor secretly visiting his country, most importantly, Xiao Zhan did not remember ever inviting Wang Yibo to his home, even he did it was only as a courtesy, who would have known that Wang Yibo would really appear?! This progress was too fast, Xiao Zhan could not put up with it.

During his prime, Xiao Yang Hai had an explosive temper, any small things could cause he to beat Xiao Zhan. Only after the death of his wife did Xiao Yang Hai calm down, but he had never lost his edge, whether he could beat Wang Yibo it was unclear, but towards his son Xiao Zhan was sure he could not escape.

"Junior, Junior, heheh," Xiao Zhan quickly pulled him to his bedroom. "Come, come, it feels like we haven't met in awhile, I miss you very much, let's reminisce in my room."

Having yet to even take a step Xiao Zhan was dragged back by his collar.

"What are you doing? Wang Yibo has yet to drink even a drop of water since coming to our home, quickly go get him a glass."

"Oh, ok."

Xiao Zhan resentfully went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, he paid attention to their conversation topic, to say that he was not afraid was a lie, even though there was not much of an actual relationship between him and Wang Yibo, that they were not officially together, they had already done most of what could be done, but what should be done had yet to be done. Xiao Zhan's conscience was definitely not clear, if anything was to be found out by Xiao Yang Hai, Xiao Zhan might actually be paralysed by him and end up in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

"You're really too talented hahaha–"

Xiao Yang Hai's loud laughter drifted from the living room, Wang Yibo modestly said.

"No, it's all because of Senior, Senior takes care of me very well."

"It's a miracle if Zhan doesn't give you any trouble, he can still take care of people? Forget it, he still needed me to wipe his backside at the age of ten."

– Fuck you old man your lying skills is as good as your Wang Ba Fist?! What nonsense like you've ever wiped my backside for me! Xiao Zhan suspected this was karma, after learning all of Wang Yibo's blackmail material from Wang Li Xia it was now Wang Yibo's turn to receive his blackmail materials from Xiao Yang Hai. Xiao Zhan had to prevent a tragedy from happening, he had to save the proper image of him that Wang Yibo has, he quickly took the glass and returned to the living room, pushing Wang Yibo away with a twist of his butt, not waiting for Xiao Yang Hai's reaction, he hooked onto Wang Yibo closely and laughed.

"Dad let me tell you, Junior and I have gone through both life and death, we'll be brothers for life."

"Hmm? How did you go through life and death?"

"Junior and I–" Xiao Zhan did not plan only telling Xiao Yang Hai about the lift incident, his ability to make up stories was non-existent, he stamped Wang Yibo's foot. "We're such great friends, if Wang Yibo forgot toilet paper I'll bring it to him, each time he call I'll be there, no matter the weather, even if I had to swim there I'll still deliver the toilet paper to him, don't you call this having gone through life and death?"

"Senior," Wang Yibo quietly poked Xiao Zhan. "Why don't I remember any of these?"

Xiao Zhan glared at Wang Yibo.

"I said it happened so it happened."

Wang Yibo smiled helplessly.

"Ok, as you wish."

"I knew you were talking rubbish," Xiao Yang Hai stood up and headed to the kitchen. "I didn't know your junior was coming so there's not much in our house, quickly go to the market before it closes to get some chicken, duck or fish."

"Alright I'll go now."

Without giving him a reason, Xiao Zhan also pulled Wang Yibo along.

"Why did you come here?"

"Didn't you invite me?"

"When?" Xiao Zhan seriously considered for a moment before thinking of a possibility. "Was it when I was gaming?"

"Yes."

"Junior, you still don't know me well enough," Xiao Zhan defeatedly clutched his cheeks. "I would even announce my bank account password if you ask for it while I'm gaming."

"Do you wish that I didn't come?"

Wang Yibo felt a little wronged and glanced at Xiao Zhan, this fella, comparing his previous icy face, he had so many more expressions now, Xiao Zhan felt guilty looking at him.

"It's not that I wish you didn't come, I'm just afraid of my dad finding out anything, if he knew I was in an ambiguous relationship with a man, he would definitely castrate me."

"When did you get into an ambiguous relationship with a man?" Wang Yibo laughed, his mouth curved. "You got into an ambiguous relationship with me right?"

"Who did you learn from to speak so coyly?" Xiao Zhan vowed silently to never let Wang Yibo watch a certain streamer with him again. "Don't talk nonsense in front of my dad, ok?"

"Ok."

Wang Yibo obediently nodded his head.

"Nice," Xiao Zhan patted his shoulder satisfactorily. "What do you want to eat, Elder Brother would buy it for you."

Xiao Zhan pondered, actually Wang Yibo and him were like being suspended in mid air, neither going up nor down, he did not start it nor had Wang Yibo finish it, if Wang Yibo really liked him, why did he not directly confess to him? Xiao Zhan was startled by this unusual thought and trembled, Wang Yibo thought he was cold, so he took off his scarf and wrapped it around Xiao Zhan.

By then Xiao Zhan did not believe in any suspension effect, at the brink of death, he already had the answers to many of his questions. Maybe Xiao Zhan had overestimated Wang Yibo, he was not a hero, but instead a coward like him, Xiao Zhan completely understood his point-of-view, also, Wang Yibo's parents were both public figures of a certain status, naturally they would have to face quite a fair bit of pressure from the public.

Many years later when Wang Yibo knew how Xiao Zhan analysed him, he would find it both funny and infuriating, and end up fucking Xiao Zhan so hard it could be considered a punishment. For now, the blame would be pushed to Wang Yibo, the person who started the flames would be in charge of dousing the flames, if the fire really spread, then, then they would decide again later... There was no other choices, Xiao Zhan admitted that he was really silly.
