5. Skipped a beat

A loud bang in the locker area echoed through the hallway. It was Zan being pinned on the wall like a painting. Three guys from the same class as him made fun with the stuffs inside his locker. Zan just bowed his head as if he was bored. He was too used to this kind of treatment that he didn't feel like responding nor reacting at all, waiting for the guys to get tired of beating him and leave him alone.

"Hey! Stop it!" an angel's voice made the three guys froze. Jiyang rushed towards Zan and helped him stand properly.

"Enough" Jiyang frowned. The three guys blushed instantly. If Jiyang was not Hao Xuan's best friend, they could have courted him because of his beautiful face. But Hao Xuan existed and as long as he is around Jiyang, no one is allowed to be near the angel for a very long time. Even if you couldn't see Hao Xuan around Jiyang, when you are with Jiyang you could feel that someone's watching you 24/7.

"Are you okay?" Jiyang's gentle voice made Zan felt a bit better. He nodded and said yes.

"That yibo, how could he let someone bully you?" Jiyang hissed and slowly pulled Zan along with him.

A tall student suddenly popped out from the hallway intersection, the name was lee Bowen.

"Jiyang!" the guy smiled genuinely. It was as if his day brightened up the moment he saw the smaller guy. Jiyang was not short but Bowen is taller than him .

"Thank goodness you are here, Wen. Please help me bring brother Zan to the clinic" Jiyang felt relieved when he saw the taller guy. The latter immediately responded and supported Zan to walk slowly.

"You want me to carry you on my back, bro?" Bowen asked. He would do anything for Jiyang, even if that means carrying other man behind his back.

"Not necessary but thank you, I can walk" Zan replied. The three of them went to the clinic. Jiyang worried for Zan because it was his first day of school and he already got new bruises.

Jiyang sighed, Bowen noticed the latter's mood. It's time for him to cheer Jiyang up. This way Jiyang would probably notice him.

"Hey, don't worry too much. Zan will get better soon" Bowen smiled. The two had a long chat while Zan took a long nap because his head hurt so much.

Suddenly, someone kicked the door. Hao Xuan and Yibo were standing right in front of them. Bowen looked a bit startled when he saw Hao Xuan glaring at him intensely.

Hao Xuan rushed towards the taller's direction but his best friend immediately stepped forward and covered Bowen.

"What are you planning to do, Xuan?" though trembling, Jiyang managed to glare back at his best friend. He clenched his fist and gulped the lump inside his throat, Hao Xuan find it sexy though. He sighed and averted his eyes towards Jiyang's hands. His gaze soften and held those trembling fingers.

"YangJi, stop trembling. I won't do anything, okay?" Hao Xuan's aura transformed from evil to a gentler one. He rubbed the trembling hands in between his own warm ones.

"What were you two doing here?" Hao Xuan changed the topic and asked Jiyang. While waiting for his best friend's answer, Hao Xuan glared at Bowen as if telling the guy to fuck off and exit the place.

"Yang, I'll go ahead. Let's talk again some other time" Bowen said and quickly exited the clinic. Hao Xuan frowned and repeated the irritating word he just heard from the guy, "Yang?"

"So he calls you 'Yang'?" he asked, annoyed.

"What's wrong with it?"

"So you like it when he calls you Yang?"

"He said it's cute"

"No It's not, unless it's not me saying it" Hao Xuan chuckled shamelessly.

"Didn't I tell you not to entertain other guys than me?" Hao Xuan reminded his best friend.

"Xuan, you can't just tell me what to do. It is up to me whether I'll date other guys. We're not dating, okay? Stop being childish" Jiyang sighed.

"What happened to Zan?" Huang Yibo asked. Zan was still sleeping so Jiyang wanted to say the things he is concerned about.

"Aren't you the first person who should protect him? Why are you letting them bully Zan?"

"I'm a busy person, I can't have my eyes on him all day. Some jackass would really love to mess with him when I'm not around. I can't control everyone" Yibo reasoned out as if he didn't care at all.

"YangJi, Let's go home first. My great cousin is already here. He will take care of his big brother on your behalf" Hao Xuan pulled Jiyang away and dragged his best friend towards the parking lot.

"Xuan, it hurts!" Jiyang hissed. Hao Xuan's grip tightened around his wrist and he hated it. Hao Xuan let go of Jiyang's hand because he needed to start the vehicle.

"Get on" He ordered. He was seriously pissed off and he needed to remind Jiyang who he really is.

"I don't want to, you're scary right now" Jiyang's eyelids panicked.

"And who's fault do you think it is?"

"Whatever... I'm not taking a ride with you today. Try to cool down your head and let's see each other tommorrow, okay?" Jiyang trembled and turned around so he could walk away.

"Don't make me say it again. Get the fuck on the bike" Hao Xuan growled. Without a second word, Jiyang immediately rode on the motorcycle out of fear.

"Fine fine! I'm going home with you! Don't be like this!" He panicked. Hao Xuan remained silent and drove the motorcycle very fast as if he was joining a race. Jiyang began to worry of what awaits ahead of their ride.

"Young master, welcome home" Hao Xuan's nanny ever since he was a kid greeted him with a smile. Hao Xuan tried to keep his cool down and managed to smile at the middle aged woman.

"Nanny, make dinner but don't call me. I'll go down by myself when I'm hungry" with a calm voice, the helpers didn't notice that the young master was on a rampage. He dragged Jiyang towards his room and push the poor guy on the soft bed. Jiyang's head hit the pillow and his heart was beating so fast. Adrenaline rushed through his body while looking at the mad beast in front of him.

"Xuan, what are you planning to do-mph!" Haoxuan sealed Jiyang's mouth with his strong tongue. He pinned Jiyang's wrists above the taller's head. Struggling for air, Jiyang frowned and bit Hao Xuan's tongue.

"What the hell, Xuan!" he yelled. Hao Xuan bowed his head while remaining on top of Jiyang.

"Do you think that you being this way to me is funny?! Are you that bored that you would go so far to disgust me?! Have you finally lost it?! Do you think I will always tolerate this childish behavior of yours-"

"If it's Bowen doing this with you, then, you won't feel disgusted?" Hao Xuan asked while keeping his head bowed.

"What the hell are you-"

Jiyang's eyes widened, his mouth unable to speak as he felt a hot liquid on his cheek.

"All this time you really thought I was just trying to make fun of you" Hao Xuan's tears rolled down his cheek.

"Xuan-"

"Tell me what should I do?"

"Xuan... I'm-"

"You hate being mine that much to the point that you think it's disgusting?"

"Xuan-Xuan..."

"Fine" Hao Xuan sighed. He kissed Jiyang's forehead and faked a smile. He stood up and fixed his ragged uniform because of Jiyang trying to escape from his embrace earlier.

"I won't argue with you anymore. No matter how hard I try, my feelings won't reach you." Hao Xuan chuckled awkwardly.

"But let me tell you honestly, I've been inlove with you from the time that you smiled at me. Remember when we were kids? Aside from my parents and my nanny, you were the first person who smiled at me. That's why I love you" Hao Xuan combed his black locks using his fingers and shut the door behind. Jiyang was left confused, "What do you mean by that?"

In the school clinic, Zan finally woke up.

"Rise and Shine, brother!" Yibo greeted him. He had been there for half an hour while waiting for his brother to wake up but all he ever received was a cold treatment like the usual.

"Are you hungry?" I have poison, Yibo wanted to add.

"Yes"

"Let's go home then" so mom would be disappointed in you for getting new bruises, Yibo smiled.

"Bring my bag, my whole body hurts" Zan ordered. He is older so it's convenient for him to order those who are younger than him.

"Unbelievable" Yibo mumbled.

"What?"

"Nothing! I said sure!" Yibo grinned like a kid. The two kept the things they needed to bring.

Zan bit his bottom lip and said, "Thanks for accompanying me while I was sleeping, Yibo"

Huang Yibo froze for a second and his heart unexpectedly skipped a beat.

"Calm down, Huang Yibo, he was just trying to trick you" Yibo mumbled and was the first one to walk out.
