The day before Zhan and Yibo met : -

"I came to tell the good news. *Sigh* Anyways, you read the file." Mr. Xiao said.

"What good news? Have you resigned?" Zhan asked happily.

"I have accepted Zhou Cheng's proposal." Mr. Xiao said.

"Is this how you tell good news, Dad?" Zhan said.

Mr. Xiao looked at him with confused expressions.

"You should have brought sweets atleast. You know nothing." Zhan said after reading his father's confused expressions.

"I'll go and bring it." Mr. Xiao said and started to leave.

Zhan held Mr. Xiao's hand and stopped him.

"No!no. I'm just joking. I was fooling around." Zhan said and smiled.

"You are very naughty." Mr. Xiao said and pinched Zhan's nose lightly.

Zhan rubbed his nose.

"Let me go and surprise Cheng ge. Okay?" Zhan said and started to go.

"Give me my file back at least." Mr. Xiao shout at the dissapering figure of Zhan.

"I'll give it back to you after reading it." Zhan shout back and ran out of the room.

Zhan entered his room. Zhou Cheng was not in the room. Zhan went to his cupboard.

[Those who don't remember Zhan and Zhou Cheng share same room, same cupboard. But different different single beds.]

Zhan started to take out Zhou Cheng's clothes. Zhou Cheng entered the room and saw Zhan taking out his clothes.

"This is nice." Zhan said seeing a Zhou Cheng's T-shirt.

"Hey listen, take this one with you. It's not nice. Leave this one for me. Okay?" Zhan said taking another T-shirt.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"What? Think this room will be so spacious." Zhan said rooming in the room.

"I'll throw this old table and replace it with a swing." Zhan said seeing Zhou Cheng's study table.

"Light will directly come on it. How much fun would it be. Right?" Zhan said happily.

Then Zhan saw their two single beds.
"And I'll join these two beds and will sleep comfortably. Okay? I'll have a lot of fun." Zhan said smiling.

"You have gone mad." Zhou Cheng said seeing Zhan's childish behavior.

"Excuse me? Did you say something?" Zhan asked then saw the curtains of the room.

"I'll also change these curtains. I never liked them." Zhan said.

"What bullshit are you saying?" Zhou Cheng said irritatedly.

"Bullshit? I'm not talking bullshit. You time is over in this room in fact in this whole house." Zhan said happily.

"What do you mean? What are you trying to say?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"I'm trying to say that Dad has accepted proposal for you." Zhan said.

Zhou Cheng got stunned with the sudden news. He remained stand on his spot.

"Be happy. Will you have some sweet." Zhan said happily.

"Let me bring it for you. All these clothes are mine." Zhan was keep blabbing.

Yibo was driving his car. Suddenly his phone started to ring. He checked tye id of the caller and afer seeing who was it a faint smile appeared on his lips. It was Zhou Cheng.

Yibo quickly answered the call.

"Hello!!" -Yibo

"First of all thank you for calling me after so long and making me realize that I'm not your priority." -Yibo.

Someone's sniff sounds were coming from the other side.

"Hello? Cheng?"

"Y-Yibo" Zhou Cheng cracking voice came from the other side.

"Cheng? Are you fine? Why are you crying?" Yibo asked but no one answered only sniffing sounds were audible.

"Hello? Cheng? Where are you Cheng? I'm coming. Is your Dad well?" Yibo asked.

"No! No! Please Yibo no." Zhou Cheng hurriedly said.

"Cheng, please relax. Calm down.
If anyone has said anything then I swear I won't leave him." Yibo said sternly.

"Yibo, I! I---" Zhou Cheng was saying in cracking but bursted into tears.

"Cheng say something, Why are you crying?" Yibo screamed.

"I'll talk to you later." Zhou Cheng said hurriedly and hang up the call.

"Hello!! Hello? Cheng?
Hello?" -Yibo

Yibo again tried to call Zhou Cheng but his(Zhou Cheng) phone was switched off.

Yibo hit the stearing of the car in frustration.

Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao were sitting in the living room.

"Why did you say yes on call in a dry way?" Mrs. Xiao asked.

"Madam, What is dry way in it? Tong(Huikuan's father) called me. He asked me what have we thought so I said YES.
Should I had said no?" Mr. Xiao asked Mrs. Xiao.

"No! No! I meant to say that you should have taken time from him. We would have gone to their place and say YES.
And we could ask Zhou Cheng also--"

"Do you think Zhou Cheng would have objection on my decision" Mr. Xiao cut Mrs. Xiao in between.

"No! This is not like that. I was just saying--" Mrs. Xiao was saying but Mr. Xiao again cut her in between.

"Enough!! You know it very well that I am not fond of these baseless norms of this world.
I know Tong since many years. There is no use of wasting time in useless things.
As for Zhou Cheng concerned, we father and son have such relation that if he has an objection, he would tell me." Mr. Xiao said sternly.

"Fine! Then what do you think what should be done next?" Mrs. Xiao asked.

"What to think in it? Both families will sit together and decide what to do. Infact, let's do one thing. Let's go to their place in a day or two. Okay? " Mr. Xiao asked.

"Okay!!" Mrs. Xiao said.

____________________________________________________________________

Zhou Cheng was sitting in his room. There was a pic of his and Yibo on his phone screen. He was staring at his phone screen.

Mr. Xiao came in his room. Zhou Cheng hurriedly locked and placed his phone on bedside table. Mr. Xiao came and sat in front of him.

"My Child, your mom has put me in confusion. I have satisfied her but I'm here with you to satisfy myself." Mr. Xiao said.

"What confusion Dad?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"That my son has faith in me that I can take a wrong decision for him. Now you must be thinking that why I am asking this question? All I know is that I have no doubt on my decision. You will have no pain or worry with that family in that house. You will get all the happiness and respect that you deserve. All I want to know is if my faith is one sided or not? Does my son think I'm capable of it or not?" Mr. Xiao said.

Yibo's picture were floating in Zhou Cheng's mind. Tears were forming in his eyes but he controlled himself. He hold back his tears.

"Nothing is more important for me than your dignity and trust." Zhou Cheng said.

Mr. Xiao sighed in relief.

"Stay happy my child." Mr. Xuai said and stand up and kissed Zhou Cheng forehead then left.
Slowly tears started to roll down from Zhou Cheng's eyes.

Next Day : - ( When Zhan and Yibo met)

Xiao Zhan's P.O.V : -

I was coming back from my college. I was very happy. Yesterday Dad gave a really good news. I like Huikuan ge. He is a gentleman and so caring. I wish Cheng ge will be happy with him forever. I was searching for Huikuan ge on Instagram that's when I bumped into something more like someone and I fell. I can't say anything to that person because it was my mistake. I was not paying attention and was busy in phone.

I quickly picked up the books and saw who was that. A handsome young man was staring at me. I smiled at him and went away. I didn't looked at that young man properly as I was in a hurry. I was already late, Dad had called me thrice. I only got a glimpse of him.
