Meeting

I rushed into my car and drove home. He looked so handsome in his outfit. I had several missed calls from grandma, I didn't know when I put it on flight mood.

"How did he find me?" Oh, but he looked damn hot.

"I drove home, entered my apartment, and locked the door.

Zhan's POV

I woke up late, breathed fresh air, and felt wonderful. I'm glad I came. I never knew I needed the time off.

"Good morning butterfly," I hope you sleep well wherever you are.

" I freshened up and went to grandma, as usual, she's experimenting.

Good morning, grandma.

Good morning baby, she said with a beautiful smile.

She wrapped Lan Zhan's cake nicely. We talked about everything, and I wanted to tell her about Yibo so badly but she was busy preparing for the show. I'll tell her when we get back.

It was 5 pm already, and I got dressed. Waiting for grandma.

When we got there, the hall was beautifully decorated, and everyone looked amazing. We sat a few meters away from the dance crew. They danced so elegantly, their choreographer did a good job.

My phone rang and I stepped out to pick it,

Hello buddy.

I'm coming with your dad tomorrow, forget anything you want me to bring for you. Cheng asked

No, nothing thanks. I replied

Are you enjoying the show? He asked

Yes, I am.

Okay bye, see you tomorrow.

I walked back in and I heard the most angelic voice, when I looked up it was my butterfly.

Omg, my heart skipped. He looked really beautiful and sexy with his outfit and hair. I just stood there mesmerized.

This man has my heart, I'm so glad I saw you, butterfly. Guess we have a lot to talk about.

"When he was done singing. He bowed and walked down the stage and walked toward the dance crew". Oh, no wonder their dance was amazing, he coached them well.

He looked straight up and saw me, I could see fear in his eyes, why is he scared? Before I could talk, his face went cold and he sat beside the dancers. My eyes were glued on him but he never turned his head to look at me.

When they finished, he stood up and walked backstage. I followed him but I didn't see him. Then I saw him rush out of the bathroom and ran to the parking lot.

I was hurt, why did he run? Did I do something to hurt him? I couldn't go back inside, I just walked and walked until I got home. I cried my eyes out and slept

Yibo's pov

It was already 9 am when I heard a knock on my door. I was scared that maybe he found me, when I didn't answer. I heard another knock with a familiar voice.

Yibo, are you still sleeping? Haikuan ge asked.

I let out a shaky breath. "I went and opened the door for him"

Sorry, I couldn't make it yesterday, I had a series of meetings! Haikuan ge said.

It's okay, gege.

What's wrong, why're you dull? Did something happen? Haikuan ge asked, sounding worried.

I saw him yesterday gege, he found me.

Did you see Xiao Zhan?

Yes gege, I've to leave here too.

Did you guys talk? Haikuan ge asked

No, I pretended like I didn't know him and I ran out when they finished the show. I  replied with tears forming in my eyes.

Has he come here or called you? Haikuan ge asked.

"No"

That means he does not know where you live or have your number so just relax until we figure something out.

Okay, gege. Tears started rolling down my cheeks.

He hugged me and rubbed my shoulder. 'You'll be fine, don't worry,' he said calmly.

After a few hours. We ate, and talked for a while. I just remembered my phone has been on flight mode since last night.

I removed it and saw several missed calls and messages from grandma asking if I'm okay.

I immediately called her and told her I was sorry about disappearing last night. I'll explain to you when I come and if it is okay if I come with my brother.

Oh, please the more the merrier. Come by 4 pm, she said.

We got ready and walked to grandma's place. It was warm and nice, the smell of food, cake, and cookies made it feel like home to me. We bowed and greeted grandma, and introduced Haikuan ge to her.

Oh, finally you trust me with your family, he is handsome. She whined happily.

Thank you for always taking care of my baby brother grandma.

It's okay dear he's like my grandson. She said

She turned to look at me. Now tell me what happened to you last night, I was so worried. 

He found me, and I ran immediately after the show was over. I'm sorry I left without telling you.

Do you mean your lover? She asked

Yes, grandma.

Did he hurt you in any way before you left him or now? Just tell me, I will deal with him "Her expression changed to anger "

No grandma, he didn't hurt me, I left to protect him.

Protect him from what? "she asked "

And I heard another voice coming out of the kitchen with baked cookies and ice cream.

Protect me from what Yibo?

I was shocked, I immediately stood up and dragged Haikuan ge. Let's go

He dropped the cookies and ice cream on the dining table and walked up to me and held my hand. I asked a question, Yibo. Protect me from what? He said calmly.

Grandma was confused. Do you two know each other? She asked.

None of us replied.

Let go of my hand. I told him

He moved an inch closer, I could feel his warm breath against my face. It sends shivers down my spine

I asked a question, Yibo, protect me from what? He yelled

I flinched, Haikuan ge and grandma were stunned too.

"It-it's f-for the be-best. I stuttered"

"If you don't answer me right now, Yibo, you won't like what I'll do to you. What the fuck are you protecting me from? His voice got louder.

"I can't remember you, if I do you'll die." Tears formed in my eyes.

What- What are you talking about? He asked, confused.

Ahhhhh, I think I know what he is talking about. Grandma chimed in.

We all turned to look at her, his hand still holding my wrist tight.

What the hell is going on here? A thick voice asked.

Oh, well I think it's time to talk, grandma said.

Dad, what's happening here? Xiao Zhan asked.

Dad? Okay, what's happening? I whispered to myself.

Whatever it is, I don't want to be a part of it. Let go of my hand Zhan.

When I called his name he melted. I could  feel it. He only looked at me and said never.

Can you all sit down? Grandma said.

We all sat and looked at her like she grew horns on her head.

He didn't let go of my hand, he sat next to me "I started sweating" Oh, lord please don't let me remember him. I thought in my head.

"Care to explain what's happening here?"  dad. Xiao Zhan asked.

I don't owe you any explanation, he replied coldly.

I think you do. Grandma replied.

No, I don't.  He said with gritted teeth.

"Then I'll tell him." Grandma hissed.
