The ding of the toaster alerted Xiao Zhan when he whiffed the aroma of hot coco. He needed to take his breakfast quickly or it would get too late for him to take his medicine. Surprisingly, he slept a lot last night and there weren't any nightmares either.

He was happy after all. He had been waiting for his nephew's call for days and it arrived only last night. Pei Xin told him how his mother got angry and Xiao Zhan didn't even want to imagine that. But in the end, it was good news.

Aside from that, it was weekend. That meant, it was time for Xiao Zhan's session and for once, he was eager to go.

Humming along the sound of the birds, Xiao Zhan walked the path where little kids were skipping end to end. Ring of their laughter filled him with warm sensation, affirming that the day would only get better.

His destination this time was a barbeque restaurant. Back in Luoyang when he talked with his psychiatrist, Xiao Zhan offered to take him for Barbeque. He had broken too many promises already. He wanted that to change.

The moment he stepped inside the restaurant; the receptionist led him to the private dining room – He had already booked the table two nights before. Xiao Zhan chuckled seeing the psychiatrist, struggling to put together the equipment.

Is he nervous?

"Always early huh? Let me help you." Xiao Zhan moved over and took the light bar from psychiatrist's hand and attached it with the tripod that laid forgotten on the floor.

"Ah! Thank you." The psychiatrist said with a mild smile, plugging in the wires in theratapper.

"Would you like to eat or have the session first?" Xiao Zhan asked, even though it should be the other way around.

"Ah, it depends on which event will you narrate today." The psychiatrist replied fixing all the fires himself. Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and replied, "I will probably talk about my daughter."

"Ah!...Isn't that a step ahead already?" The psychiatrist was caught off guard. Since they were going in order, the next incident should be the Readapt Testing Lab.

"I could talk about the Readapt Testing Lab but..." Xiao Zhan sat down, after looking at the equipment – an excellent job he did.

"But what?"

"But I don't remember it." Xiao Zhan said with a sheepish smile. It was one of the memories that he had forgotten. A memory where Wang Yibo was not involved.

Before the psychiatrist could heave a sigh of relief, Xiao Zhan added.

"I don't remember what happened but I do remember what I felt back then."

"What did you feel back then?" Psychiatrist asked unsure.

Xiao Zhan looked at the psychiatrist, straight into the eyes. There was not even a flicker in those pupils. In the emptiness of the room, the silent drop of water traveled through the chill glass simultaneously as Xiao Zhan said,

"I really wanted them to just kill me."

How did the air become so thick?

Xiao Zhan wanted to talk to Zheng Fanxing, about the incident. But the latter had been busy with his duties as a trainee assistant intern. Xiao Zhan didn't have it in him to ask him out on his free day.

But he never could have guessed that the fellow victim would chose to go to the hospital. Xiao Zhan still felt terrified to stay in the hospital for too long, it was one of the reasons he requested to have sessions any other place. Contrary to him, Zheng Faxing faced his trauma head on.

How truly brave!

One thing he could assure was that the experiment ZFX98-Neurogenesis was a success!

Zheng Fanxing's ability to memorize had been enhanced 10 times of that a normal human. Looking it like that, one would think what cool ability to have – that was not it. Sooner or later, they were going to kill him and use his neuro cells to cultivate more.

For Xiu Qing, they were nothing more than guinea pigs.

"Let's have lunch first." Xiao Zhan suggested, realizing how hard the other took this information.

Throughout lunch, Xiao Zhan kept talking about his visit to Luoyang and Chongqing; elaborating events he couldn't report on text. For once, he ate. For once, he didn't starve himself.

"Maybe, it was the bad idea to eat first? I am so full; I just want to sleep now." Xiao Zhan whined stacking the empty plates.

"Immediately after eating, never lie down. That's basic knowledge." The psychiatrist pretended to judge.

"Hey, I have holes in my memory, maybe I forgot."

"You certainly did." The psychiatrist chuckled.

"Now, let's continue." Xiao Zhan said wearing the headphones.

"Mn, Is this alright?" The psychiatrist connected the pulsator on his phone.

"A little slower if you don't mind." Xiao Zhan requested, unable to get the hang of the light.

"Is this better?" The psychiatrist lowered the speed of the light beam, that was moving to and fro, on the light bar.

"Mn, better." Xiao Zhan said as he begun.

[Flashback R-18]

"Yibo." The wind carried the soft whisper that fluttered out of his thin lips.

Lying on the bed, amidst the silky sheets, Xiao Zhan raised his hand and tenderly touched the man who had the key to his heart that loomed over him.

Wang Yibo leaned into his delicate touch, his voice dipped in worry, "Zhan-ge, is this– are you– should we really do it?"

Xiao Zhan smiled at his concern and used his other hand to poke at his pink button nose. "Lao Wang, you always wanted to do me and now that I present myself to you, you refuse? Tsk tsk, poor me." Xiao Zhan playfully complained, attempting to ease the worry in the younger's heart.

It had been like this ever since the incident at the lab. Wang Yibo had been holding himself back, too afraid to hurt the elder. How long will he treat me like a fragile glass?

"Zhan-ge! That's not it! I am just... are you really alright with it?"

"Bo-di, it's been so long. I am already well. Don't you believe me?" Xiao Zhan defended. He then picked up his phone and playfully said, "Should I call my doctor and ask her permission?" He placed the phone on his ear as he teased. "Hello, Dr. Su Yue, my boyfriend is worried if we should have se – "

"Zhan-ge!" Wang Yibo pulled away the phone and to his relief, Xiao Zhan didn't dial the number.

"Hahaha." Xiao Zhan laughed so hard seeing a beautiful pout on his beloved. He wanted to tease more but he swallowed his desires in, playfully he coaxed,

"Lord Yibo, won't you accept his virgin sacrifice?"

Reaching his limit, like a lion out of the cage, Wang Yibo pounced at his beloved to shut those provoking lips. Hungrily, he bit at the beauty mole that was demanding his attention. Xiao Zhan smiled through the kiss. It's good he has relaxed somewhat.

It had already been a year since the Readapt incident. Doctors said that it was a miracle that Xiao Zhan survived, yet they didn't know what actually happened to his body. It was a case they never have seen before. Dr. Su Yue said something along the line of morphism, none of them really understood what it meant.

Since his health was a lot better, Xiao Zhan also resumed his studies. Although he was still not allowed to go outside, but thanks to Liu Jian Min's influence he received his lectures at home.

While they focused on Xiao Zhan getting better, Wang Yibo didn't touch him. They did share occasional smooches and snuggles but nothing more intimate. Xiao Zhan didn't know about Wang Yibo but he himself was running out of patience. This time, on his birthday, Xiao Zhan decided to finally grant his long-demanded wish.

[In this story, their birthdays are switched but in same year.]

"Yibo, you don't have to hold back too much. I am really fine." Xiao Zhan assured once again, but Wang Yibo still chose to play safe.

Unlike their chaotic first time, this time they knew what to do. Wang Yibo was a fast learner and all the sensual touches that Xiao Zhan granted him before, he returned him more warmly in a cautious manner.

Fondling with the body below, Wang Yibo kissed every part of it. Forming a path of wet kisses, erupting a beautiful sound like the tunes of a fine flute. His long fingers, teased the milky crest, tickling through the thin fabric that came in between.

"Zhan-ge." His whisper was thick with desire, yet he tamed his beast. "You will have to tell me when you can't take anymore."

Xiao Zhan raised his head and hushed those worried eyes, placing a chastise kiss to sooth that little heart. He pretended to be a lion but really, he was just a child –A kid at heart.

While dancing with his pair of lips, Xiao Zhan moved the hem of his lover's shirt up, tracing the fading blue blotches along the way. Wang Yibo immediately got rid of the barrier and did the same with body below, helping him, ever so gently.

Xiao Zhan leaned on his back and stared at those oracles; among the ocean of stars those were his own.

"Little star..." He couldn't help but whisper, drunk in his love.

"Baby sponge..."

What the--

"Wang Yibo!"

"How many times do I have to tell you, not to call me that?" Xiao Zhan complained. Couldn't his idiot boyfriend come up with a better nick name? Pick something romantic at least?

"Xiao Zhan, how many times, I have told you not to call me little but you don't stop either." Wang Yibo protested back. What part of him is little?

"Lao Wang, the name I pick is beautiful unlike yours."

"Mine, is beautiful too. You just can't accept it."

"Oh really? What's so beautiful about it? What part of me looks like a baby and where did that sponge even come from?"

Wang Yibo smiled sheepishly and said, "It's because you're my baby and I will take care of you." Xiao Zhan couldn't deny that part. Wang Yibo has been taking care of him, especially after his injury.

"And sponge?"

The tip of his ears turned red, Wang Yibo's hand reached below, and groped those chunky butt cheeks.

"It's because you're soft like a sponge"

"..."

Xiao Zhan came up with the nick name, inspired by a Venus in the vast sky while Wang Yibo named him after his plump ass!?

That was the punch line.

"I don't believe you Lao Wang!" He really didn't.

"But it's the truth."

What annoyed Xiao Zhan more was, that just the thought of his ass was making Wang Yibo blush like a teenage girl. Are you bold or are you not bold?

"Wang Yibo, you are good at killing the mood. Hurry up and move, I need to sleep."

"Y-you can't sleep— I'm already aroused." Wang Yibo said through his pink cheeks.

Xiao Zhan eyed below and rolled his eyes before placing his head back in the pillow, he complained,

"You get aroused this easily. I am not sure if you're a romanticist or masochist."

"Zhan-ge, you know it throbs."

"Come up with a better name, then I will think about helping you." Xiao Zhan said turning to his side, attempting to sleep.

"Lao Xiao, don't do this to your Bo-di." Wang Yibo said as he lied on top of Xiao Zhan.

"Ahh, Bo-di you're heavy." Xiao Zhan tried to push Wang Yibo away but the heavy person insisted on putting more of his weight. Xiao Zhan gave him a stern look and Wang Yibo reciprocated with a pleading one. The two stared at each other before bursting into innocent laughter.

"We really can't look into each other's eyes for more than three seconds, huh?" Xiao Zhan said, laughing lightly. Wang Yibo loved that face. The face that was adorned with contagious smile. He would do anything to keep that smile intact, he added lovingly.

"Zhan-ge, didi ai ni."

Xiao Zhan froze for a moment. All this while it had always been him, showering with words full of love, chasing away younger's worry. Hearing it after so long, Xiao Zhan's heart felt full and his eyes felt warm. He replied with the glistening eyes,

"Bo-di, gege ai ni."

Wang Yibo leaned in and kissed those tears away, he then kissed those rosy cheeks, nose and finally landed on the lips. The thin lips responded to the knock of plump ones and allowed their tongues to mingle on their own. Like how the bees danced to the flowers, their heart swirled to the beat.

The smaller naughty hand, trailed through the soft body and stopped at the bulge that was asking to be freed. The merciful Zhan listened to those pleads and probe through those pants to get rid of them. Wang Yibo captured that hand and friskily said,

"Lao Xiao, what's the hurry?"

"Lao Wang, if you drag it for too long then I will surely sleep."

Wang Yibo shook his head, mused. He can demand too?

He teased Xiao Zhan, slowly taking off his clothes. Xiao Zhan gulped seeing that bulge. Maybe it's a bad idea after all?

"Bo-di, I think – hmph!"

Wang Yibo hunched over for a kiss, not allowing elder to say a thing – he knew what was coming. How could he let this opportunity go when it was finally presented before him?

His Yaoi hands flowed through those sensual curves, soaking in all the warmth – this heat! He loved it.

"Zhan-ge you're also hard." Wang Yibo teased, grabbing the clothed bulge in his palm.

"...Not as much as you." In response, Xiao Zhan grabbed his dangling shaft and squeezed it tight.

"Mmnh...eager much?" With one full swoon, Wang Yibo got rid of those pants, discarding them on the floor. No more intruders now.

Just the two stark naked bodies radiating the heat of love.

"How can I not be, when I have such a beautiful boyfriend with me?"

Wang Yibo smiled, even with his body filled with bruises and bumps, Xiao Zhan found him beautiful. That's Xiao Zhan for sure. He's too kind to a fault. If he searched up in a dictionary, Xiao Zhan's picture would be next to the world kind.

How could they hurt someone like him?

Sensing the change in the behavior, Xiao Zhan spotted Wang Yibo looking at his scar. On an Instinct, he covered it with one hand while with other hand, caressed his beloved's face.

"Yibo, stop thinking about other things. Just focus on me – focus on my love."

Wang Yibo slid away Xiao Zhan's hand and kissed right at that scar. He replied,

"Let me be the one to love."

He was always the one who received love, now it was his turn to give.

The parade of kisses marched on his velvety skin. With each peck his breath hitched at the euphoric sensation planted in him. The wet tongue teased his cave, while big hands played with his cock, swirling his fingers around it.

"... Ahh... Bo-di..."

The smaller hand, dished into the silky hair, pressing the head further inside as the wet tongue slicked it thick with saliva. The ticklish sensation lasted for so long that when it stopped for a brief moment, Xiao Zhan had to open his eyes to inquire.

Capturing those query eyes, Wang Yibo smiled a gentle smile.

"Sorry, I needed to get the lube."

Xiao Zhan placed his head back, catching his breath and giving a simple 'mn'.

His naked body resting on the sleek sheets, impatiently waited to have a taste of their love.

Lubricating his fingers, Wang Yibo adored the sight before him. Just like a pearl, illuminating the depths of his ocean heart.

Carefully he placed his finger at the top of the opening, still hesitating for another step. Sensing the presence, Xiao Zhan spread his legs a little further, washing away the doubts his lover might be having. With new confidence, Wang Yibo inserted the finger in the pinkish hole and earned a beautiful melody as a reward.

"Mnn..."

What a beautiful symphony!

Prudently, he moved the finger around, allowing himself and elder to adjust to this new feeling. It was soft and it was warm like the petals of a gauzy flower.

Feeling another intruder, Xiao Zhan husked in pleasure releasing another tune.

"..ah..Yibo... you can go a little... rough..." Xiao Zhan demanded through his pants.

Obediently Wang Yibo inserted the third finger, stretching the opening further. He looked at his bulge and wondered how would it fit?

Xiao Zhan grabbed that big bulge once again, attempting to calm it down before it could enter. The two of them followed the same pattern of huffs and puffs as if their breaths were one.

"Z-Zhan-ge..." His eyes were amalgam of pain and pleasure but there was fear dominating in them.

"Yibo...I will be fine..." Xiao Zhan smiled so warm, like the fresh of the early sun.

Wang Yibo nodded his head and adjusted himself at the entrance, without hesitating for long, he plunged in, joining the two of them together.

"Ngn..."

He halted immediately, not a muscle out of place.

"Zhan ge! I'm –"

"Yibo! I'm okay!" Xiao Zhan reassured. Just how many times would he have to calm him down?

"...Let me get used to it for a while." Xiao Zhan suggested to ease younger's worry. Wang Yibo nodded obediently, while his heart quivered in worry.

Xiao Zhan looked at the younger with his tear brimmed eyes, they are not from the pain but from the sight of his lover. He hated it the most seeing him in pain while worrying swirling in worry. Unable to take it anymore, Xiao Zhan reached his hand and wiped away those tears.

"Yibo, if you cry like this, how would we be able to continue...?"

I'm crying?

"I-I..." Wang Yibo tried to speak but those awful memories flooded into his mind. Abused body of Xiao Zhan passed out in front of the lab. When doctors attempted cardioversion through electrodes. When he was swerving in pain, struggling to breathe.

How could he not cry? His love was put through so much agony that even a whole lifetime won't be enough to compensate for the pain.

"It's alright, I am okay." Xiao Zhan comforted taking the hand of his beloved and kissing it.

However, the tears in his eyes, only appeared more. Wang Yibo lowered his head and placed it on the belly below. His tears dripped on the scar, falling down freely.

"I'm sorry Zhan-ge! I'm so sorry!"

What are you sorry for?

Xiao Zhan let him cry. He stroked his hair soothing him on his own. He had been strong for both of their sakes. It's good that's he's letting out everything now.

"I'm sorry too, for making you worried." Xiao Zhan relayed tenderly. The two were still connected like the hearts and souls that were meant to be.

Xiao Zhan had been thinking, about him and Yibo, their future and how would they go on about. If the younger kept welling in worry like this, would it be wise to stay with him and torture him like this? Wouldn't he be hurting him more? Wouldn't it be better to let his heart settle the surge of pain?

Just like he had caused pain to his families, was he causing pain to Wang Yibo now?

Day and night, he thought too much. In the absence when Yibo wasn't home and his presence when the two cuddled together. No matter what, only one answer came to his mind.

"Bo-di...this not really the place or time but... will you marry me?"

Wang Yibo raised his head to look at Xiao Zhan. His eyes dipped in tear.

Did Zhan-ge just?

Wang Yibo couldn't tell if he was hallucinating or did he mishear? Xiao Zhan recognized that confused but adorable expression as he confessed one more time.

"Wang Yibo, will you give your life to Xiao Zhan? Will you marry me and stay with me for eternity?"

It's not a dream!

Overwhelmed by what was asked of him, he moved over and responded with a chastise kiss. His tears, fell down mingled with the tears below. Within a single breath he responded,

"Yes!"

Yes, to his heart! To his love! To his life!

What part of him did even make him doubt that response? He knew how much Wang Yibo loved him, Xiao Zhan felt so relieved, so happy, so light.

"Ah! I forgot the rings!"

"We have these." Wang Yibo picked up the two necklaces dangled on the side table. The ox and the goat! It would be their compact of love.

"Ah, these can work until we get rings."

He moved ahead and welcomed those lips, kissing them tenderly. They savored in the moment, in the passion and each other's love.

[Flashback ends]

.

.

.

Sitting at the chair, wearing the head phone, Xiao Zhan's eyes raced along the light. How beautiful their love was!

Even the psychiatrist shared the same thoughts.

"After that night, Yibo stopped coming back home." He recalled how the small apartment felt so big. So empty. So lonely.

"He would text me every day, asking me how I was doing. When I would ask him where he was, he would tell me that he got held by the teachers or his uncle wanted to see him."

Everyday it was the same response. Was he running away? Did he had enough? Was it because of the proposal?

"He hired a delivery service for my meals, and I stupidly wish for it to be Yibo for once." He recalled he would ask the delivery guy for any sort of information about Wang Yibo but would only get 'I'm sorry sir, I am just doing my job.' In response.

What devastated him more was, that when he asked his university teachers about Yibo, they said 'He has changed university.'

Why didn't he even tell him such a big thing? Was he really avoiding him to the point that he even changed his university? The two of them had each other as friends, so there wasn't anyone he could ask to.

"He came back on his birthday..."

The texts which Xiao Zhan received every day, became occasional. But Xiao Zhan would text him instead asking him, how are you? He didn't get a single response to that question. The younger granted him relief when he said he would come back on his birthday.

After two whole months, Xiao Zhan got to see his face again, he got to hear his voice again. But he looked so tired, so thin, so lifeless.

"Seeing him so pale and exhausted, I couldn't bring myself to question him. We celebrated his birthday like it was just any other day. I was happy just to see him again. That night, I slept peacefully having Yibo by my side... but the morning turned cold when he was gone."

Xiao Zhan couldn't stop his tears that time. He stayed in the bed all day, not wanting his warmth to dissipate.

"Around that time, I started feeling dizzy. I thought it was because of crying too much. I had been worried sick for Yibo – praying for him to be safe." Xiao Zhan said clutching the scar on his stomach.

Those days, he had trouble breathing, trouble eating and trouble keeping his emotions in checks. The words of Xiu Qing begun to ring in his ears, he was in and out of conscious when they were experimenting on him but he did catch few words.

The womb!

Promptly, the blood that seeped out of him every now and then and the word Metamorphosis made sense to him.

What only confirmed his doubts was when he started feeling nauseous and threw up the food which he liked so much. His body become too sensitive to many things, he would feel dehydrated a lot and even the chemical smell of soap made him feel woozy.

"I was scared. So scared."

There was no way for him to confirm, but he was scared to see the doctor. What if they found him amusing and decided to experiment on him?

The way they cut those bodies open, like a butchered animal. Even if you said to him that things will be fine, he had seen the worst. His fear, it just couldn't be described.

He did research on his own, whatever the internet could provide anything that would take away the awful feeling he was in. He ordered so many prenatal vitamins that the internet suggested and even the pregnancy test strip to make his doubts go away.

He received the confirmation when, two lines appeared on the strip.

He was pregnant!

"I called Yibo so many times after wards, but not even a single call went through. I begun to worry for him. What if something happened to him?"

But at least, the delivery guy eradicated his thoughts, that Yibo was fine. Having no other option, Xiao Zhan sent him a text 'When you read this, please call me, I need to discuss something very important.'

"Instead of the call, Yibo arrived the next day. B-but I couldn't talk to him."

The HCG hormone made him feel so exhausted at times, that he couldn't keep his eyes open. He was sleeping when Yibo arrived. He thought he was dreaming, when he felt the warmth of his beloved again. That brief moment was so powerful for him that it washed away so much fear in him.

It was his child, the product of their love.

"From then on, I begun to see the baby as a part of Yibo. It helped me feel calm."

"Why didn't you call your family?" The psychiatrist asked.

"I was scared of what they might say. I know they are very supportive of me but back then everything felt blue." Xiao Zhan answered still tracing the light with his eyes.

Should he blame it on his pregnancy hormones?

There on, Xiao Zhan sought help on the internet, hiding his identity and booked appointments with various doctors. He could do this much until Wang Yibo come back again.

The doctor guided him how to handle the stomach cramps, lower back pain and mood swings. They all suggested him to hire a mid-wife, something he couldn't do.

"After the first trimester, I felt relived that Baby was save, the chances of miscarriage were gone..."

Or so he thought, there is a reason why God created pairs. His body was not built for pregnancy. No matter how advanced the science was, nothing defies the law of nature.

Every day he would suffer from pain, sadness and loneliness. Nothing the doctors said worked anymore. He begun to fear, how long would he hide? Would the baby make it out alive? How would he even deliver?

"I fell into prenatal depression."

The phase of the second trimester was so unbearable for him. Dealing with complications like Round Ligament pain, gum bleeding, insomnia, soreness, Chloasma, Heart burn, indigestion, headache, Edema, Hicks contraction, leg cramps and more importantly depression. How long would he be able to survive on just Antacids and Acetaminophens?

He was alone! He was scared! He felt helpless in more than once ways.

"The delivery guy must have felt pity on me."

One of those days, the delivery guy told him that he spotted Wang Yibo in one of the restaurants with someone else. His heart broke a million pieces but he didn't allow himself to reach to a conclusion.

If I don't catch him now –

Xiao Zhan bravely put aside his insecurities, donned his thick coat to hide his baby bump and stepped outside of the apartment. He carefully climbed down the stairs and finally breathed the fresh air after 18 whole months.

.

.

.

[Flashback ch37-ch38]

The dry yet chill air of February teased the students who were enjoying their adolescence before the grounding pressure of exams strike them. The youth were busy making memories of their most precious time in life.

The pregnant man walked past so many of such individuals, too occupied with himself to cast a glance on the changing beauty.

Xiao Zhan reached the designated restaurant, out of breath. Because of new weight on his body, his sense of gravity has been shifted so much that he barely saved himself from falling over.

His tired eyes cautiously scanned the area to look for his other half. He spotted him but what made his whole-body freeze was seeing the person sitting next to him.

He Peng!

How is he here? Why is he here? He should have been in jail! He murdered his grandmother; he shouldn't be out for years! What is he doing with Yibo?!

His swollen feet carried him towards the man he loved, hoping to beg for answers.

But when he sees the big smile adorned on his face, a smile which was directed at someone else, he couldn't move.

I thought I was the only one who could make that smile appear...

Too dizzy with heartache, Xiao Zhan stumbled and almost fell. The waiter that was passing by, helped him stand properly.

"Sir, are you alright?"

Xiao Zhan had covered his mouth with his one hand while with the other sustained himself by the wall near. He felt sick, too sick.

Why did it have to be He Peng of all people? Why did it have to be someone, he could never forgive?

Before Xiao Zhan would worsen his condition, he decided to retreat and never return but luck was not on his side.

"Zhan-ge?"

Wang Yibo was too shock to see Xiao Zhan out like that. First, he looked terrible. Second, he was...

Xiao Zhan mustered up his courage and uttered, "So, this is what you've been doing huh?"

But the younger was concerned about something different altogether. He was already up from his spot, so, he decided to go to his beloved and aid him but elder harshly rebuked,

"Stop! Don't come any closer!"

"Zhan-ge! What happened to you?" His heart felt cold like the northern wind blowing directly over it. Why does he look worst than before? He should have been completely fine by now!

He Peng also stood up from his seat. Sensing the dejected situation, he immediately inserted.

"ZhanZhan it's not –"

"Shut up! Don't call me that!!" Xiao Zhan spitted. He covered his ears with both hands not wanting to hear that voice. Not wanting to hear them.

Before Wang Yibo could go near to Xiao Zhan, the latter ran away, panting hysterically.

He could not decipher where he was going. He just ran and ran and ran with the aim to go away. Anywhere but here, any place away from them. Any place where he could feel safe, where he could keep his baby safe.

His whole body ached, alerting him for the consequences that he might face later on. But his cursed feet carried him back to his apartment subconsciously.

Why the fate liked to mock him?

Xiao Zhan wiped away the tears that came loose along the away. He needed to get somewhere else, but where? He didn't even bring his phone with him. Xiao Zhan climbed those stairs with heavy steps. It was difficult for him not only psychically but emotionally as well.

Just as he twisted the key in the key hole, he heard the voice which made his whole existence halt.

"Hahaha! My experiment was really a success!!" The loud laughter of middle-aged man was heard from the opposite end of the porch. He was leaning to a railing, carrying a pleased grin.

Even in his wildest dream, no way would Xiao Zhan forget such a person.The man who brought misery upon him. The man who was supposed to be dead in the blast. The man with the weight of many lives was approaching him ever so slowly.

"X-Xiu Qing...?"
