"Yibo..." Zhan sat on his bed, while his fingers were brushing against Yibo's soft milk-white cheeks making the latter open his eyes and him.

"What's up Zhan?" Rubbing his eyes, Yibo replied while sitting beside Zhan.

"You know" Zhan cupped Yibo's face while leaning in. "I love you so much. I love you more than anything in this entire world."

"I love you too Zhan," Yibo said as he closed his eyes, pressing his face against the other's warm palm, feeling his beloved's warmth.

Zhan smiled as he leaned in for a kiss. He looked at Yibo while the latter smile a bit. Zhan's thumb gently caressed Yibo's soft pulpy lips feeling the softness. Zhan leaned further and they were about to share a tender kiss, suddenly the bedroom door opened with a loud bang and a familiar figure entered in. Zhan at once jumped on the bed seeing that figure.

"Zan Jin?!" Zhan looked at him as if he saw a ghost. "What are you doing here at this hour?"

"Xiao Zhan..." That figure smirked as he walked towards Zhan. "I am here to take Wang Yibo away."

"What!? No!" Zhan protested. "He is MINE! You cannot take him away."

"But I love him, Xiao Zhan." That man sarcastically said as he pulled Yibo out of the bed.

"Don't touch me!" Yibo tried to make himself free but he couldn't because of the other's strong grip.

"Zan Jin, leave him." Zhan reached to hold Zan Jin's collar but the latter moved a step back holding Yibo at gunpoint.

"Xiao Zhan, poor thing! If I cannot have him, none in the world can have him." That guy smirked.

"Zan Jin, you cannot do this to me." Zhan pleaded to fall on his knees.

"I am not Zan Jin." That guy laughed. "But I won't tell you who I am." That guy pressed his gun at Yibo's temples. "Sweetheart, sorry, but I cannot let Zhan take you."

"Please spare him," Zhan begged while tears escaped his eyes. "Please don't kill him."

"Sorry." With a sinister smile, that guy pulled the trigger and in the next moment, Yibo collapsed in a pool of blood.

"YIBO!!!!!!"

With a loud scream,  Zhan at once sat on his bed. Beads of sweat covered his entire face as well his half-naked body. Yibo who sleeping peacefully beside Zhan woke up due to Zhan's loud scream.

"What happened, Zhan?!" Yibo exclaimed as he could clearly see how much Zhan was sweating and he was panting as if he did some vigorous exercise.

"Yibo..." Zhan immediately hugged Yibo, pressing him tight against him, as if would never let go of the other.

"Zhan!?" Yibo said softly, while his hand messaged Zhan's scalp and his other hand hugged Zhan. "Calm down. I am here."

"Don't leave me," Zhan said restlessly as his grip around Yibo became tighter.

"I am here right beside you and in your arms." Yibo caressed Zhan. "Did you had a nightmare?" He broke the hug and cupped Zhan's face to which the latter noded. "It's just a nightmare Zhan, not a reality. It's only 4:30 am, go back to sleep." Yibo gently made Zhan lay on the bed.

"C-can I hug you while sleeping?" Zhan asked hesitatingly looking at the other. "I swear, I won't do an..."

"You can hug me." Smiling Yibo laid beside Zhan and turned his back towards Zhan. He waited for a few seconds for Zhan to hug him. When he didn't feel the other's touch, Yibo turned his head. "Aren't you going to hug me?"

Zhan immediately hugged Yibo and nuzzled into the latter's warm neck. Yibo smiled in content and put his soft hands on Zhan as if he wanted to assure the latter that he would never leave him.

The bright shafts of sunlight coming from the open window fell into Zhan's eyes. Zhan covered his eyes with his hand trying to continue his sleep. Suddenly he opened his eyes as if he remembered something. He checked his side only to find Yibo absent from there. He suddenly sat with a jerk. He quickly down from the bed and checked the bathroom. But Yibo wasn't there too.

"Yibo?" Screaming Yibo's name Zhan quickly went downstairs. He abruptly stopped seeing the scene welcoming him. A soft smile appeared on his face as he saw Yibo preparing breakfast.

"You are awake?" Yibo asked without turning. He was putting the egg on the plate.

"Good Morning." Zhan smiled as he stood beside Yibo who was garnishing the dish. "Wow! You made omurice!" Zhan inhaled the aroma of the dish. "Hmmm...it smells so nice Wang Yibo. You are indeed a fast learner."

"It's not that tough," Yibo replied blushing. "Well, brush your teeth and take a shower. It's already 8 am and we have to go to university at 9 am." Yibo put the plates on the table.

Zhan smiled and quickly went to his room. When he came out, he saw Yibo preparing some clothes. Yibo was so absorbed into choosing clothes that he didn't see the other walking towards him.

"What are you doing Wang Yibo?" Zhan said as he stood just a few inches behind Yibo. The sudden words made Yibo flinched and he looked at Zhan as if he saw something inhuman. "What?" Zhan arched his brow. "Am I looking good?"

"Why are you standing here with a towel wrapped around your waist?" Yibo moved a few steps back. "Why aren't you wearing bathrobes?"

"Why?" Zhan leaned towards Yibo. "Is it making my Wang Yibo blush?"

"Shameless!" Yibo pushed Zhan gently and went to the wardrobe to fetch a hoodie. "Here," Yibo said as he stretched his hand, giving the clothes to Xiao Zhan. "Wear them."

"Why should I?" Zhan titled his head. "Are you my personal stylist?"

"Why are you so full of yourself?" Yibo rolled his eyes. "These clothes are lost and comfy and will hide your bruises. If you want to wear tight clothes then go ahead." Yibo twitched his lips and went out of the room.

"Such an angry headed sweetheart." Xiao Zhan chuckled. "It looks like you are falling for me."

Xiao Zhan pit on the clothes and went downstairs. Yibo was sitting on the chair, waiting for Zhan to come and join him for breakfast.

"How am I looking Wang Yibo?" Zhan said standing like a model.

"As usual," Yibo replied and took a spoon. "Eat your food otherwise we will be late for classes." Yibo handed over a big spoon to Zhan.

"Thank you," Zhan said with a huge smile and started eating his food. "Mmmm...Yibo, it's amaessing..." Zhan said with his mouth full of food. "You are such a good cook."

Yibo smiled and shook his head at the other's innocent behavior. Suddenly Zhan's phone rang. A big smile appeared on Zhan's face.

"Little Devil," Zhan mumbled. "Wang Yibo, I need to receive this call." Zhan smiled and answered the phone.

"What's up Little Devil?"

"Zhan!!!! How many times I told you not to call me Little Devil!!!???"

"Okay okay." Zhan put his phone away from his ear sensing that Hao Xuan's loud voice would surely damage his eardrum.

"Zhan..." Hao Xuan's voice became softer. "Are you okay? Does your injuries hurt much? Are you going to University today?"

"Hao Xuan wait." Zhan chuckled. "Give me time to answer. I am alright, my injuries don't hurt much and yes, I am going to university."

"Is Wang Yibo taking good care of you?"

"Mn. He made a tasty breakfast for me. What about you? Did you drop Jiyang home?"

"Zhan...can I talk to you alone for a moment? I mean I don't want Wang Yibo to hear it."

"What's so serious Hao Xuan? Wait." Then Zhan turned towards Yibo. "Yibo, excuse me for a minute." Saying so Zhan went to the balcony. "Now say Hao Xuan, what's bothering you?"

"It's about Jiyang."

"Hm? Is anything wrong?"

"I don't understand how Wen Chao came to know about Jiyang. As far as we know, they have grudge against us from high school. How come Wen Chao knew about Song Jiyang?"

"I too don't know." Zhan's expressions became serious. "Wen Chao is in jail now. This is worrying me even more. His brother Wen Zhuliu won't stay calm."

"I am worrying about Meng Ziyi as well. What if he kidnaps her and torture her?"

"I don't know anything." Zhan sighed. "I am even more stressed. I dreamt a weird dream of losing dreamt

"We need to protect what ours is."

"I won't ever let go what's mine," Zhan said with determination. "I will protect Ziyi, Shijie, Yibo, Jiyang and you no matter what. You guys are only people whom I trust most in my life."

"What about Li Bowen, Prince Charming?" Hao Xuan said in a teasing voice.

"Wait, Are you teasing me? Then let me tell you, Li Bowen and I are partners and Bowen is as strong and as powerful as I am. So I don't need to worry about him."

"See you at University. My friend is calling me."

"Friend? Who is that?"

"Sorry Zhan, I cannot hear you. Bye."

Hao Xuan hung on the call. Zhan looked at the phone with disbelief.

"This brat!" Zhan sighed. "So he and Jiyang are together at his house. Great!"

"Is something wrong?" Yibo asked joining Zhan. "You look stressed."

"Well, Wang Yibo, I am thinking something..."

"Why are you hesitating?" Yibo titled his head, looking at Zhan. "Say it."

"I want to ask you something..."

I wanted to share this with you, my sweet readers. This is omurice, one of my favorite food. It's very simple and easy to cook using less effort and very tasty to eat. *whispers* I just cooked omurice for my tiffin. I wanna share the recipe with you guys so that you can try this at home.

(p.s. I make very simple omurice with the least ingredients. You know, I am lazy AF. So I don't use many ingredients.)

Ingredients:

1. Finely chopped vegetables of your choice. Use can use the vegetables you want to add. (Well, I use carrots, onion, beans, and capsicum. I love the flavor which capsicum adds to the dish)
(Please don't add eggplants. Generally, people don't add this to this dish. I don't know, I don't use it)

2. Finely chopped chicken, shrimp, pork (it's optional. I don't add these normally when I make omurice for myself)

3. 2 servings of cooked rice.

4. 4 eggs. (2 eggs for a serving. It will make the omelet look fluffy and the dish will look delicious. I use 1 egg for a serving. *I am too lazy to add another egg*)

5. Salt, pepper, oil for frying pan, soy sauce (optional).
(I don't use soy sauce. You can use if u want)

6. Ketchup (must)

Process:

1. Take the finely chopped ingredients.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil. (Don't use huge oil. It's not good for health *health specialist mode on*). Add the finely chopped ingredients and stir fry until the onions become soft and the meat/shrimp/chicken (if you have added any) becomes soft. Add one tablespoon of soy sauce, salt, and pepper.

(Since I am Indian, I carve for Masala. So if you have masala, you can add chicken masala or Maggi masala as per your wish.)

3. Reduce the flame to medium and then add the five and stir it until the clumped rice gets broken and ingredients are combined well. Add 1-1.5 tablespoon of ketchup, salt, and pepper for taste. Now stir and mix the rice so that the ingredients get mixed well with the rice.

(Don't use too much masala during this mixing. It will make the dish taste bad. I have experience with this. So I am telling you.)
(You can use ketchup as per your wish. Adding too much ketchup won't make it tasty. But my sister like huge ketchup so I have to add a little more ketchup like 2-2.25 tablespoons)

4. Then transfer the rice to a plate.

5. Crack and beat 2 eggs in a bowl with a spoon or a fork. Stir in a pinch of salt. Heat a lightly oiled small non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add the egg mixture to the pan and swirl it around to cover the pan.

(I use one egg. So those people who are like me can use 1 egg. It won't cause any hamper to the dish.)

6. Make a huge omelet. Leave the upper side of the omelet a little runny.
(You know, little raw omelet with the rice goes well)

7. Take the amount of rice serving on a plate and make it compact.

8. Then put the omelet on the top of the rice, covering the entire rice. (Like this)

9. Then u can put tomato sauce on the top of the omelet to garnish. You can use ketchup.
(I don't add anything to garnish. LOL)

10. Here you go, your omurice is ready.

Hehe,😅😅😅 I don't know if this recipe and my over blabbering bothered you. Sorry, but I love this food so much that I cannot help myself from sharing it with you guys)
