I thought I uploaded this chapter on Sunday .... but this wasnt the case ... I just saw it and I am so sorry T_T 

[Just to clarify something first : Uncle James (Huang) is not blood related to Haikuan and Yibo. He is just the "personal hairdresser " of Yibo. The are really close to each other. ]

When Haikuan saw a specific store he stopped in his track and smiled. He turned around and looked at the two boys behind him. "How about you guys go alone to Uncle James? I want to buy a few things for the empty room next to yours, Xiao Zhan" he explained. Xiao Zhan looked at him in confusion. Yibo smiled as he knows what his brother is planning.

"Xiao Zhan, I want to make this room comfortable for you. This room will only belong to you. So is it okay for me to go and buy some things we need for that? I will come back before Uncle James is done with your hair, I promise" Haikuan said and waited for a reaction. Xiao Zhan slowly nodded and Haikuan gave him a hug. Xiao Zhan flinched but relaxed soon. Haikuan felt that Xiao Zhan is uncomfortable so he let him go.

"I want a hug too, why don't get I get one?" Yibo complained playfully.

"Don't be so dramatic, little brother. Come here" Haikuan laughed.

"No! Now I don't want anymore... I am not dramatic" Yibo said.

"Yes you are."

"No I am not. I just wanted a hug! But you called me dramatic and I am not!" Yibo pouted.

Xiao Zhan looked from the younger brother to the older and then back to the younger. He giggled.

Haikuan laughed at that and Yibo pouted again "Not you too, Xiao Zhan.... "

"Let him be, Xiao Zhan. He is like a little child sometimes. I will go and make the arrangements. I will see you both at Uncle James. Yibo, stop pouting and take care of our Xiao Zhan" Haikuan laughed and went his way. Yibo turned around and looked at Xiao Zhan. "Am I really dramatic?" he asked the younger boy in an unhappy tone. Xiao Zhan smiled and shook his head. He then came forward and gave Yibo a short hug.

Yibo is surprised and froze. He then smiled at the younger boy and ruffled his hair. "Thanks for hugging me. That is what I needed. Lets go and I will introduce you to Uncle James"

The doorbell rang when both boys entered the store.

"Uncle James? Its me Yibo, where are you?" Yibo shouted, took Xiao Zhans and his own jacket and hang them up. At the same time an old man came from the backroom. 

He looked at Xiao Zhan and said "You sure has shrunk since the last time I saw you, Yibo... I told you to drink more milk! Why do you never listen to me?"

"Uncle James! Put your glasses on and dare you to say the same again!" Yibo who came back from the wardrobe answered slightly annoyed and rolled his eyes. Uncle James did so and now saw Xiao Zhan in front of him. "You not only shrunk but you have a totally different face... Yibo when I told you you are not that handsome I didn't mean you are that ugly to get a new face! Does your brother know?" Uncle James shouted and Yibo shook his head in amusement.

"You are getting old, Uncle..." Yibo chuckled

"Hey! I am not old! I am only 61!" Uncle James complained.

"Yes like I said... old" Yibo said and stood next to Xiao Zhan. The latter giggled and when Uncle James looked at him he hid behind Yibo.

"And who is this shy boy who is a lot more handsome than you?" the old man asked Yibo.

"Hey! I am handsome too!" Yibo yelled.

"And I am young too!" Uncle James shouted back. "Now that we clarified the facts don't you want to introduce me to you little friend here?"

Yibo shook his head in defeat and smiled. "That is Xiao Zhan and he is my nephew since yesterday" he said and thought 'I cant get enough of saying that'.

"Nephew? Since yesterday? Oh god, not Haikuan too ....Don't tell me your brother got influenced by you and kidnapped someone? Xiao Zhan tell me now and I will call the police right away" Uncle James said and looked at Xiao Zhan playfully.

"Sorry Xiao Zhan... I forgot to tell you this old man is weird ... " Yibo said and rolled his eyes again.

"I am neither old nor weird, get that! So where does he come from?"

"My brother adopted him yesterday and he turned 16, also yesterday. Moreover he is your customer today, he wants a haircut. " Yibo explained.

"Oh? Your birthday was yesterday? Then I will do your hair for free! Happy late birthday, Xiao Zhan." Uncle James smiled. Xiao Zhan, who was very confused and scared just nodded and stayed behind Yibo.

"He sure is shy... " Uncle James mumbled.

"Yes, he is. And he doesn't speak, so don't be mad when he doesn't answers" Yibo said and gently stroke Xiao Zhans back to calm him down. Xiao Zhan relaxed.

"Alright, Xiao Zhan lets wash your hair first. You want me to do it or should I let Yibo do it?" Uncle James asked and smiled friendly.

Xiao Zhan tugged at Yibos shirt and signalized that he wants Yibo to do it. "Alright, Yibo it is. Then I will just sit here and wait" Uncle James said and sat down. 

Yibo led Xiao Zhan to the sink. "Sit down here and I will wash your hair." Xiao Zhan sat down and Yibo started. Uncle James observed them and chuckled.

"Xiao Zhan is the first customer I served who doesn't relax while his hair is being washed. Normally my customers find this part the most relaxing but it seems like Xiao Zhan is more tense. He doesn't close his eyes. What is wrong, Xiao Zhan?"Uncle James asked. Xiao Zhan didn't reacted and observed his surroundings.

Before Uncle James could ask more, Yibo stopped washing the boys hair and knelt beside him. "Its okay Xiao Zhan. Relax, I am here. You trust me don't you?" he whispered in his ear and Xiao Zhan looked at Yibo. He nodded. "Then close your eyes. I will protect you, no one will do anything especially not Uncle James. Okay?" he whispered again and Xiao Zhan slowly closed his eyes. Yibo then went back to the sink and continued washing Xiao Zhans hair.

Uncle James saw that and was kind of surprised how much that little boy seems to trust Yibo. 'What did he say to him to get him relaxed?'  he thought and smiled.

"You sure have beautiful hair, Xiao Zhan. Its so soft. Are you sure about cutting your hair?" Yibo asked. Xiao Zhan opened his eyes, looked at Yibo and pointed at the older boys hair. "So you like my hair, huh?" Yibo chuckled. "Truth to be told, short hair is way more comfortable than long hair. And easier to wash... look at all your wet hair, Xiao Zhan. Isn't it extremely heavy?"

Yibo took the long hair and put it over Xiao Zhans face. "Okay that looks kind of creepy. Imagine its evening and you take a shower, put on a white bathrobe and your long hair in front of your face... I would shit in my pants.... pardon my language" he winked at Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan smiled and pushed his hair back in the sink. Through this action Yibo got wet. Xiao Zhan saw that and giggled. "Yeah... guess I deserved that..." Yibo said and laughed.

Uncle James chuckled. 'Our Yibo is so different than usual. He seems to like that boy a lot, huh?'

After Yibo finished washing the younger boys hair he took a towel and carefully wrapped it around Xiao Zhans head. He dried the hair with gently movements. The younger boy opened his eyes and smiled brightly at Yibo who blushed slightly. 'Did he just blush? Our Yibo? Blushed? Now I have seen everything in this life. I cant believe it.'  Uncle James laughed internally.

Yibo led Xiao Zhan to the next chair and turned around to Uncle James. "You can start now, but please be careful" He said to him.

"Yes Yes" Uncle James answered.

"Xiao Zhan its okay I will sit right behind you." Yibo said to Xiao Zhan who nodded.

When Uncle James walked forward and past Yibo he whispered "Your two sure look good together" and winked. When he saw how red Yibos face went he started laughing. Yibo sat down without commenting the statement and looked anywhere but in Uncle James direction.

"Xiao Zhan I will start cutting your hair now. Hmmm ... If you are uncomfortable say so please or give me a sign." Uncle James said smiling and started his work.

Meanwhile Yibo calmed down. 'This old man! What is he even saying?'  He glared at the hairdressers back.

After 40 minutes Haikuan came to the store and saw his little brother sitting at the side. He sat next to him. "Is something wrong Yibo?" he asked concerned.

"I am fine brother. I am just waiting for Xiao Zhan. He should be ready every minute now" Yibo answered. Haikuan patted Yibos back while both men waited for Xiao Zhan.

"Alright, my work is done. Do you like it?" Uncle James asked and looked at Xiao Zhan. The boy saw himself in the mirror and smiled. He then run to Haikuan and Yibo and showed them his new hair. 

"You are looking very handsome Xiao Zhan. Do you like you it?" Haikuan asked and when Xiao Zhan nodded in agreement he hugged the boy. "That's good. Then how about thanking Uncle James? Hmm?" he asked. Xiao Zhan moved his head in the hairdressers direction and then back to Haikuan. "Come, lets go together. Don't be so shy. Uncle James did his work good. He is one of the best even when he gets older." Haikuan said and Uncle James, who heard him, complained "Hey! Why is everyone saying I am old? I am not!"

Haikuan laughed and walked up to him together with Xiao Zhan. The boy looked at Haikuan and when the latter nodded encouraging Xiao Zhan turned to Uncle James and bowed to him.

"Your welcome young man" Uncle James laughed.

Xiao Zhan run back to Yibo and pointed to his hair. Yibo who was shocked to see that Xiao Zhan was even more handsome than before smiled at him and touched the boys hair carefully. "This style looks really good on you Xiao Zhan. You look ... ahm... even more ... handsome than before" Yibo stuttered slightly. Xiao Zhan smiled at him and linked his arm with Yibos.

Haikuan smiled while watching them. 'I am glad, brother. This life everything will be different.'

"They suit each other don't you think" the hairdresser said and Haikuan looked at him in shock.

"W-What?" he asked.

"I am sorry. Its not my intention to interfere with anything I just thought... they look good together. Don't look at me like that. I know people in this county don't really accept those kind of relationships but I do. If you think like those people I apologize but my way of thinking stays the same.... I also think ... your brother ... seems to like Xiao Zhan ... I don't know.... I just hope that ....if his feelings grow and he .... hmm ... maybe.... maybe falls in love .... you will stand with your family .... I am sorry if I crossed a line here..." The hairdresser apologized.

'Uncle! Why? Your are accepting this now but why not in the past? What changed? Wangji loved you dearly and I know you loved him too but .. you weren't this understanding back then ... But who am I mad at? ... Thank you. Even if its just now... thank you for accepting this.' Haikuan thought and a tear fell from the corner of his eyes. He quickly washed it away.

"Uncle James. Yibo is my brother and Xiao Zhan my son. I don't know what the future brings but... if they should fell for each other I will accept it wholeheartedly. Because I love my family more than anything else." he said truthfully and smiled.

"Let me tell you one thing... Today I observed them quite a bit ... I don't know about Xiao Zhan ... that boy is quite difficult to read but your brother... he definitely has feelings for Xiao Zhan.... He just didn't realized it yet." Uncle James chuckled.

"I should help him when the right time comes. That is ... if Xiao Zhan is ready for it..." Haikuan said and looked back to the boys who were playing with Xiao Zhans new hairstyle.

"What do you mean by that?" Uncle James asked confused.

"Nothing. I am sorry, don't mind me. We will have to go now. There is a lot to do today. Thank you for the haircut. How much do we owe you? "

"Nothing. The haircut is for free as Xiao Zhans birthday was yesterday." the hairdresser said smiling.

"Thank you, Uncle James. We will go now." he said and bowed. Then he walked up to Yibo and Xiao Zhan. "Lets go guys. Xiao Zhan needs clothes. Xiao Zhan, I want you to stay either with Yibo or with me, okay? Don't go by yourself." he asked and the younger boy nodded.

They bid their farewell to the hairdresser and went their way.
