"I want to ask you something..." Zhan said looking away from Yibo while biting his lips nervously.

"What?" Yibo narrowed his eyes. "Why are you looking so nervous?" Yibo walked towards Zhan and held the latter's chin making him look at him. "Say it directly."

"Can I stay for two days at your house?" Zhan blurted out closing his eyes tightly.

"What?" Yibo burst out laughing. "So you were feeling nervous to say this? Hahaha," Yibo almost had a stomach ache by laughing. "Omg! Zhan, my stomach hurts. I cannot laugh anymore."

"Hey! Wang Yibo." Zhan looked at Yibo putting his hands on his own hips. "What's so funny here? I asked you like that because I know that you hate me."

"Hate you?" Yibo stopped laughing at looked at Zhan. "Which jerk told you that?"

"Then...do you like me?" Zhan smirked, as he tilted his head.

"Who said that not hating you means liking you?!" Yibo rolled his eyes and walked out of the balcony.

"If I am not wrong, Mr. Handsome..." Zhan followed Yibo to the kitchen. "...I think the opposite word to hate is like. Isn't it obvious that not hating me means liking me?"

"Excuse me, Prince Charming." Yibo turned towards Zhan. "I just consider you as a friend okay?"

"Tch" Zhan rolled his eyes. "You are worse than Meng Ziyi."

A frown formed on Yibo's face hearing the name Meng Ziyi from Zhan's lips. He shook his head and continued eating. After their breakfast, Yibo took his bag.

"Yibo, " Zhan calls out when Yibo was about to leave. "Keep this book with you. You will be needing this." He said handing Yibo a big book."

"Thank you," Yibo said as he put it in his bag. "Well, are you bringing your car to University?" Yibo asked taking his helmet.

"Yes," Zhan said taking the car keys. "You should leave your bike here. Someone will send it to your house later."

"What!? No!" Yibo protested as Zhan went to the garage. "Wait...Zhan!" Yibo followed Zhan to garage, whining. "Xiao Zhan, you either have to come with me or I will go by my bike." Yibo put his hand on the door of the car.

"Wang Yibo, can you please be practical?" Zhan said as he looked at Yibo. "I already have an extra bag for my clothes. Do you think your bike will help it?"

Yibo wanted to say something but he was slapped hard by the reality. He couldn't deny Zhan's words. Zhan already had a big bag for his clothes and his important stuff which can be only kept inside a car, not a bike. Accepting defeat, Yibo walked aside giving Zhan access to get into the car while he got into the passenger seat.

As they arrived at the college, Zhan, and Yibo together when to Business Department classes. As Yibo entered the class, the entire class was filled with gossiping. Zhan looked at the girls who tried to take a few photos of them. Zhan smiled at winked at the girls. The girls stopped taking the photographs and started to gaze at Zhan. Shaking his head, Zhan in the middle bench of the third row.

Within a few minutes, Hao Xuan and Jiyang entered the class together. Yibo looked at Jiyang while Zhan had a mischievous smile on his face as if he knew the reason for Mr. Heartbreaker and Mr. Gentle coming together. Hao Xuan smiled and took his seat in the next bench behind Zhan while Song Jiyang sat beside him.

"How come Mr. Heartbreaker and Mr. Gentle came to class together?" Xiao Zhan said taking his notes from the bag.

"Jiyang, are you okay?" Yibo asked putting his hand on Jiyang's. "Did you two run into each other?"

"Well...that's..." Jiyang looked away from Yibo.

"Hao Xuan and Jiyang slept together," Zhan said smirking at Hao Xuan while the latter's ears turned bright red. "Am I wrong, Mr. Heartbreaker?"

"Xiao Zhan...Yea, you are right." Hao Xuan sneered. "How do you realize that we stayed together?"

"Answer is simple." Zhan shrugged his shoulders. "You said your friend was calling. As far as I know, only Ziyi and I are your best friends and only we went to your house. Since Meng Ziyi was at her home then it's clear that the person must be someone special. And..." Zhan looked at Jiyang and then at Hao Xuan. "...you are considering this guy as your special friend. So it's easy to guess why you two came together."

"Tch." Xuan rolled his eyes. "You know me too well."

"Of course, my Little Devil." Zhan winked at Hao Xuan.

Before Hao Xuan could say anything, Meng Ziyi entered the scene. She came and sat beside Xiao Zhan.

"You look cute." Xiao Zhan smiled at her.

Meng Ziyi smiled but when her gaze landed on Zhan's bruises on the face, her brows got knitted and she looked into Zhan's eyes intensely. Zhan lowered his head to avoid her gaze, while she titled her head to without taking her gaze off Zhan.

"Explain," Ziyi said in a cold voice while there was a demand in it.

"Huh?" Zhan looked at Ziyi who was looking like a furious beast.

"Don't try to over smart me, Xiao Zhan." Ziyi raised her voice. "Explain why there are bruises on your face? Which jerk dared to hit you?"

"Ziyi calm down." Hao Xuan said gently trying to distract Meng Ziyi. "It's not a big deal."

"Wait" Ziyi looked at Xuan sharply. "You are protecting him. It means both of you are involved in this case." She titled her head and crossed her arms across her chest. "Both of you need to give me an explanation."

"Miss Wildfire, nothing serious happened," Yibo said trying to decrease the tension between the three friends.

"Woah! Xiao Zhan, what's up? Why is Wang Yibo trying to protect you? It means..." Ziyi eyed four of the playboys. "...all of you are involved in this." Suddenly Ziyi's eyes widened as if she remembered something. "Don't tell me you guys had a fight with bastard Wen Chao."

"Ziyi, unfortunately, yes," Xuan said biting his lower lip. "He kidnapped Jiyang and while protecting him, Zhan got injured. And then Yibo took care of him."

"What?!" Ziyi looked at Jiyang. "That bastard dared to lay his hands on your Jiyang?"

"Meng Ziyi, calm down." Zhan held her hand softly. "All are fine. Yibo took care of me."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ziyi looked at both of her friends.

"You already know that asshole jas his dirty eyes on you," Xuan said. "How will we risk you in this? Already Wen Chao kidnapped Jiyang once. Currently, he is in jail now. But still, I am afraid. So Zhan told me not to tell you."

"I knew it!" She glared at Zhan. "Only he has the guts to hide things from me."

"Meng Ziyi, how can you scold an injured guy like me?" Zhan pouted. "You know, my Little Devil slept yesterday with Jiyang."

"What!?" Ziyi's eyeballs almost popped out of her sockets as she looked at Hao Xuan. "Really? You guys already got together?"

"It's not that Ziyi. I didn't want him to get kidnapped again. So I asked him to stay with me." Hal Xuan said like a kid admitting his faults. "Ziyi, Zhan slept with Yibo yesterday. Won't you say anything to him?"

"Nope." Ziyi chuckled.

"It's unfair Miss Wildfire." Hao Xuan pouted. "Why are you so biased towards Xiao Zhan!?"

"It's because she is too stunned to hear that my Little Devil slept with another guy." Zhan winked.

"Don't. Call. Me. Little Devil!" Hal Xuan yelled.

"Why do you call Hao Xuan your Little Devil?" Jiyang and Yibo said in unison.

"Huh?!" Zhan and Xuan gaped at the sync of the two friends.

"It's a secret between my Little Devil and me." Xiao Zhan said wrapping his arm around Hao Xuan.

"Stop scaring them." Meng Ziyi chuckled at the expression of Yibo and Jiyang. "Tell them that secret already."

"I cannot." Zhan looked at Hao Xuan. "My Little Devil will feel bad."

"Hao Xuan, do you like Xiao Zhan," Jiyang said looking at Hao Xuan as if he was betrayed by the latter. "I mean, are you two in a relationship?"

"What!? No!" Xuan and Zhan said in unison. They looked at each other and then at their crush.

"See, I told you not to hide from them." Meng Ziyi chuckled. "Jiyang is really good at guessing," Ziyi said sarcastically.

"Yeah. Meng Ziyi, you don't know how good Song Jiyang is in guessing." Zhan said shaking his head. "Yesterday I said Hao Xuan was the victim of Wen Chao. Jiyang immediately asked if Hao Xuan was raped or not."

"What!? Omg! Jiyang, you are amazing." Ziyi laughed putting her hands on her stomach trying to control her laughter. "Jiyang, let me tell you, Zhan won't let anything happen to his Little Devil."

"Meng Ziyi, stop making fun of me." Hao Xuan pouted.

"Well, well, Wang Yibo and Song Jiyang, both of you listen to me," Ziyi said composing herself. "Nothing is going on between Zhan and Xuan. They are just very close friends or better say they are like brothers. Did they tell you how three of us met?"

"Hao Xuan told me how he met both you and Xiao Zhan," Jiyang said like an innocent kid.

"Xiao Zhan told me how he met you," Yibo said looking at Jiyang and then at Ziyi.

"It looks like I have to tell the entire story now. Okay." Ziyi said before taking a deep breath. "This Xiao Zhan wasn't like this before. He was a very lonely guy. His parents left him with his granny while Lulu Shijie used to take care of him. Later shijie became busy and Zhan became lonely. One day he was sitting alone in the park, gazing at the little kids who were playing with their friends while their parents accompanied them. I went to him and asked him why he was alone. Then he told me his story. After that, I said that I would be a good friend. From then we became best friends."

"It means Wang Hao Xuan wasn't there from the beginning?" Yibo said blinking his eyes.

"Yes. But you know, Zhan is very gentle and protective since he was a kid. When we played together if someone tried to hurt me or scold me, Zhan would come in front of me and protected me." Ziyi said blushing while her fingers tucked her long strands of hair behind her ear.

"Tigress don't blush. You don't look good while blushing." Hao Xuan said smiling mischievously at Zhan.

"Meng Ziyi, you already know, I protect the people who are close to my heart." Zhan smiled. "And you already know what you are to me."

"Don't make me melt Zhanzhan." Ziyi talked back. "One day in school, Zhan and I were playing with each other when we heard someone screaming for help. Then we saw Hao Xuan getting bullied by seniors. Zhan and I went forward and fought with them and rescued Hao Xuan from them." Ziyi looked at Hao Xuan and patted him. "He wasn't this arrogant back then. He was a cute kid who looked at Zhan and me as if we were angels. When we said that he can be our friend. He couldn't believe his ears. He kept looking like a lost puppy until Zhan held his hand told him that we are friends." Ziyi chuckled. "Hao Xuan then hugged Zhan and from then we three became best friends."

"Wow! It's so cute story." Jiyang smiled like a kid who was listening to stories from his granny.

"Jiyang, what's with that facial expressions?" Yibo said making a weird face. "You look like a high school girl in Korean dramas. Who would say that you are a playboy?"

"Shut up!" Jiyang replied back. "Meng Ziyi, continue."

"Sure, Mr. Gentle." Ziyi smiled. "From then we went to all the places together. Even we stayed together at each other homes. Only Zhan, shijie and I have complete access to Hao Xuan's house, otherwise, no one is allowed to set his foot in Xuan's house. Jiyang is the first guy who is allowed to stay at Hao Xuan's house."

"Woah! Really?" Yibo gaped at Ziyi's words.

"Mn." Ziyi nodded. "The same thing goes to Zhan and me as well. Zhan allowed one more person to his house and he is Li Bowen. Otherwise both you guys are first people other than us to enter their houses."

"Ziyi, don't you think the last sentence wasn't that essential," Zhan said rubbing his nape as if he got caught in a criminal case.

"It's necessary of course." Ziyi arched her brow. "Let me tell you the Little Devil Secret." Ziyi smiled mischievously while Jiyang and Yibo came closer to her. "During our high school days, Hao Xuan looked at Zhan as if he was in love with Zhan. He stared at him all the time like a girl seeking for his crush's attention. But our dumb Prince Charming didn't realize it. One day we were returning from school, I asked Hao Xuan if he liked Zhan. Zhan at first looked at me weirdly but then remained silent. Hao Xuan shook his head denying my words. He said that he was so lucky to have Zhan as his bat friend. He wanted to become like Zhan." Ziyi paused for a second. "Listening to such pure and innocent words, Zhan started to laugh. Then he said that he would teach Xuan how to become like him. From then he called Hao Xuan his Little Devil while Hao Xuan called him Master. But Zhan never calls Hao Xuan in front of random people or strangers."

Listening to these words, Yibo and Zhan blinked. After a few seconds, both of them exhaled feeling content with those words.

"Then, how did Hao Xuan became a playboy?" Jiyang interrupted.

"A year before our university, Hao Xuan, Zhan and I, three of us changed to a great extent. We became stronger than before and became players." Ziyi's facial expressions became darker. "We had to change like these because of the circumstances we faced. And you know, Xiao Zhan is strongest of all of us. He is determined and never let off of things which are his."

"Umm...Meng Ziyi, " Zhan said scratching her head awkwardly. "Don't you think you said too much?"

"No." Ziyi smiled cheerfully. "They need to know who you are."

"Aiya, my tigress is so strong," Zhan said holding Ziyi's hand. "It looks like I really have to help you to fix your relationship."

"You better not get involved in that." Hao Xuan and Ziyi said in unison.

"You guys are so rude." Zhan pouted. "By the way, Jiyang and Yibo, do you wanna see a picture of innocent, cute, little Hao Xuan?" Zhan took out his phone and started to search for his gallery.

"Don't kid me, Zhan. I am not falling for your tricks." Hao Xuan rolled his eyes

After a few seconds, Zhan found the desired image. "Here, this our cute little Mr. Heartbreaker." Zhan showed the picture to Jiyang and Yibo.

"Oh My Gosh! He is so cute." Yibo said closing his mouth, looking at picture.

"Aww...he is so cute. I wanna pet him." Jiyang said.

"Then take him," Ziyi said casually shrugging her shoulders. "He is still free."

"Prince Charming, Mr. Heartbreaker, someone came for you." A boy said panting.

"What happened?" Hao Xuan said leaving his seat.

"I don't know. But they are creating a ruckus outside the university." The boy said taking heavy breaths. "They said that they won't leave until the meet you. They even threatened some of the 1st-year students to kill them."

"What!?" Zhan exclaimed as he stood beside Hao Xuan. "Who are they?"

"I don't know." The boy replied hanging his head down.

"It's okay." Zhan turned towards Ziyi. "Don't come out Ziyi. Take care of Yibo and Jiyang. Okay?"

"But Zhan..."

"Ziyi, please." Hao Xuan said with pleading eyes. "You know we cannot risk your life. So please."

"Okay. Call me if you want my help." Ziyi said sulking.

"Sure Ziyi." Xuan smiled.

"Little Devil, I think we need to take care of someone," Zhan smirked

"Yes, Master." A sinister smirk appeared on Xuan's face. "I think those assholes still need a lesson."
