Xiao Zhan's POV

"I know you are here...Open the door"
I heard these words as I put my ears at the door to listen the footsteps. I don't know but suddenly a fear grasped me. Its not that I cannot fight the goons. I can protect myself pretty well since I was Yiling Patriarch in past life. But I don't know why I suddenly feel as my heart became light weighted. I am usually not afraid of anything but why this time I feel tensed. I looked at Wang Yibo. He is already looking at me with a curious eyes. He nodded his head and signalled me to remain pin drop silent. I just obeyed him. I tried to move close to Wang Yibo. Suddenly another loud thud is heard.

"You fucking bastard. We know you are here. Open the door or we will break it open."

Now my heart really sank, feeling a strange emptiness in my chest. I could protect myself and I was so sure of that but Wang Yibo..he was injured and he couldn't even stand up properly. I don't want him to get more injured because of me. As I silently crawled back, trying to get as close as possible to the other person. Tracing his legs, I silently sat beside Wang Yibo, glancing at him. Wang Yibo was already staring at me but...his gaze appeared somehow different from normal cold gaze- perhaps some warm and pacifying gaze?

"Yibo..." Unconsciously, his name slipped from my lips as I stared at him with lines of worry on my face. Perhaps my eyes were showing millennia of emotions right now but who cares?

"Su Liu's men," Wang Yibo whispered, glancing at the rusted door.

"So you are no going to open the door...we are breaking in."

No sooner had the words completed, they started to push the door with all their might, making huge banging noises. I could feel my heart drumming against my rib cage, threatening to jump out of chest. Never ever in my entire life had I feared this much.

Suddenly I felt a cold fingers touching my hand. Recognizing the touch, I glanced at Yibo who nodded his head gently while his face had a slight smile. Is he trying to pacify me!?

"Yibo, what do we do now?" I whispered before biting my lower lip anticipating the moment.

"Don't be afraid. As long as I am here, no one will hurt you," Yibo said in his usual cold voice.

But I don't know why it sounded warm, as if I had heard this type of voice before. May be...my Lan Zhan used to say this to me.

"Yibo...I am worried about you. I can protect myself. It's you who is injured!" I spoke, looking directly into his eyes.

"You talk too much," Yibo said diverting his eyes from me to the door, sounding irritated.

Su Liu's men were hitting the door hard without a break. Perhaps by now they are using their full man strength to break the door. If the door wasn't jammed by the God's Grace, by now we have been slaughtered like chicken in the hands of the cruel men.

"Fuck!!! This door is jammed , Zizhen. What shall we do now?" One of Su Liu's men yelled?

"Leave it. Perhaps those jerks aren't hiding here. Let's go. We need to find them as soon as possible."

Slowly the sound of footsteps faded and gradually disappeared.

"Let go of my hand," Suddenly Wang Yibo said out of blue, leaving me in utter state of confusion.

"Uh?!"

"You are holding my hand Xiao Zhan!" He said in cold voice, giving me a death glare.

Just then I realized that I was holding his hand really tight. At that moment I was so nervous that unconsciously I held his hand. Such a idiot I am!

"A-ahhhahaaa...sorry," I gave out a sheepish smile as I withdrew my hand, rubbing my palm against my shirt, trying to get rid of invisible dirt.

Glaring at me, Wang Yibo scooted away from me, keeping around 2 hand distance between us.

Such a strange guy he is! It's not that I am a contageonius disease. Aish...he knows how to piss me off.

"Wang Yibo, phone Zewu Jun. Otherwise we will stuck in this crappy place forever."

"Do it yourself."

"Wang Yibo...are you out of your brain? My phone battery died. Otherwise why would I ask help from a coldie like you!?" I said, annoyed at his statement. Even at this state he dared to cold shoulder me. Such a poor fate!

"My phone is dead as well" Wang Yibo said showing his phone to me.

Unbelievable! Yeah...I waited my whole life just to get stuck with this cold iceberg in this crappy place.

I stood up, walking to and fro before starting to examine the abandoned area. Never ever I had seen such a crappy place before. The entire place looked suffocating while with a small window at the top. The window was so small that hardly the light could reach to the bottom part of the room. To add to the trouble, the door even got jammed, making it impossible for us to escape.

"Wang Yibo ah Wang Yibo...this place is really creepy as hell. How will we get out of this place?! My phone died and I cannot even contact Wen Ning," I said walking around the dark room. It was already 9pm by my watch and it seemed like the room is engulfed with darkness. The only source of light was moonlight. The gentle moonlight was peeping at us through a small open window.

Suddenly my attention was diverted to Wang Yibo. His brows were furrowed deeply, showing that he was in great pain. Just then I remembered that he was badly wounded and his wounds were left untreated, blood was slowly oozing out of the wounds. Walking towards him, I sat beside him.

"Wang Yibo, is your wound still hurting?" I asked as I removed the handkerchiefs from his wounds. My eyes widening as I realized that his wounds were bleeding instead of blood slowly oozing out! "Aish...Wang Yibo, you are bleeding!!"

"Its not a big deal," Wang Yibo said in an impassive voice.

"Shut up. Your wounds need to be dressed," I said examining his wounds. The wound on his arm wasn't that deep but the wound on his palm was really deep.

"We don't even have a handkercief Xiao Zhan. How will you dress my wound?" Wang Yibo smirked, mocking me.

Even in this condition he had guts to mock me!? This iceberg!

"Though I don't have handkerchief, but I have my clothes," wiggling my brows, I returned his smirk ad I teared my shirt at the lower edge.

"What are you doing!?" Wang Yibo exclaimed with discomfort, moving a bit away from me.

"Tearing my clothes for you," I smirked, as a crawled towards him. "Now don't think too much and give me your hand."

"Uh?!"

"Respect sir Wang Yibo, can you please lend me your hand? Can I gave the honor to touch your precious hand?" I said with a smile while internally I just wanted to bang his head. Knowing that he would never allow me to touch him, I snatched his hand.

Luckily I had a medicine that Wen Qing gave to me. That medicine would stop bleeding as well it would effectively reduce the pain. I applied it to Wang Yibo and took the piece if torn shirt to bandage his wounds. He suddenly held my hand, astonishing me.

"Uh!? Wang Yibo, Is it painful? Please hold for a while. The pain will fade away soon," I tied the cloth piece around his wounds, bandaging them.

Wang Yibo was still staring at me as if I were some alien. But his gaze felt like it held thousands of questions as well as emotions in those pair of impassive eyes.

"Is anything wrong Wang Yibo? Do you want to say something?" I asked, unable to understand his gaze.

"Why does your presence feel so familiar to me as if I know your touch, like...I touched you before?" He asked, narrowing his eyes, reading me.

"Aahahaha..." I laughed awkwardly, moving back. "Wang Yibo, don't tell me that taking care of you like in this way is reminding you of your girl," I said laughing.

He looked at me as if I had said something extremely offensive.

"What happened this time? Cannot you have a girlfriend?!" I stopped laughing as his face suddenly became serious.

"I don't have a girlfriend," Yibo said in extreme cold tone.

"Eh!? Why? It's not that you don't look handsome. I don't believe you!" I said, crossing my hands across my chest. Is this guy just kidding me!?

"Then don't believe. None of my problems." He scoffed. "Why am I taking these nonsense things with you!?" Wang Yibo said, taking away his gaze from me.

"You have no other option . Sitting in this crappy place, you and me two unlucky guys have nothing else to do" I said laughing at his serious face.

Laughing, I looked at him, trying to find what he was doing. My brows got knitted together as I realized that the iceberg Wang Yibo was trying to get up.

"Yah! Wang Yibo, what are you doing? Do you want to break your leg or what!?" I said worriedly, holding his elbow.

"..." Instead of replying, Mr. Iceberg just gave me a death glare. Seriously? I am trying to help him and he is giving me death glares. God! Why am I even living?!

"Ah...Wang Yibo, why do you always give me death glares?!" I huffed. "Your leg is already sprained and instead of taking care of it , you are putting pressure on it. Do you think it will help your leg?" I said trying, holding his injured leg gently, putting it on my tigh in order to message it.

"Xiao Zhan!What are you doing!" Wang Yibo exclaimed, struggling to take his leg back.

"Come on Wang Gege...I am neither going to undress you nor see your body. I am just trying relieve you from pain. Moreover, it's okay to help each other. Don't feel shy," I winked as I took his leg on my tigh and removed his shoe. The sprained area already looked red and swollen.

Grasping, I looked at the swollen area, "Aish! Wang Yibo, your sprain looks painful. Let me help you, alright?"

Saying so I gently ran my finger tips around the swollen area, messaging the sprain.

"Xiao Zha.."

"Mr. Wang, I am definitely not going to listening to you," I cut his words as my finger tips gently messaged his sprain.

Trying to find a topic to talk, I spoke, "Wang Yibo, you already know that I am CEO of Rose Valley Company. But I still don't know what you do," I asked his messaging his leg.

"Zewu Jun told you that day. Both Zewu Jun and I are employees in Nie company," he replied in his usual cold voice.

"Ah...sorry!" I laughed awkwardly. Aish! My poor memory! How can I forget something vital like this?!

"By the way Wang Yibo, I don't think that we are going to open the door now. If I am not so wrong ,then we have to spend tonight here. Why don't you sleep first?" I gently put his sprained leg down?

"Its okay. You can take rest first, " Yibo said resting his back against the rusted wall.

"I have to take care of something. You rest first Yibo," I said.

"What will you do now at this hour!?" Wang Yibo asked, brows knitting into a small frown.

"Sleep now, Wang Yibo..."

Letting out a deep breath, Wang Yibo gently closed his eyes. Perhaps he was too tired to argue with me. I took my jacket and put it on Wang Yibo so that he wouldn't catch cold.

Now the thing I have to take care of was I had to send a signal to Wen Ning so that he could rescue us. Since Wen Ning remember his past , so I think he will easily recognise this signal.

Taking a piece of paper from my pocket I just held it in between first two fingers. A red spark appeared and I threw it towards the window so that it could reach to Wen Ning.

I hope that Wen Ning would recieve this signal. I sat beside Wang Yibo only to find him sleeping peacefully. Normally I sleep like a dead log . But today I wasn't  even feeling a bit sleepy. So I examined the entire room. Finally my eyes became a little heavy and I closed my eyes. No sooner I closed my eyes than a heard a knock from the door.

That knock disturbed Wang Yibo as well. He immediately opened his eyes and looked at me. Again followed by the first knock, I heard a second knock.

"Wen Ning.." I yelled hoping that Wen Ning had come to our rescue.

To our dismay, we received no response.

"Wen Ning...is that you?" I shouted but again theres no response.

Now my legs froze. I am sure this is not Wen Ning. What if the knock is from Su Liu's men? Did they find us? What will we do now?
