That night, the three had a simple dinner. Right after they ate, Zan immediately went to his room. Yibo followed him secretly and told his mom that they would play games for awhile.
"Zan, are you okay?" Yibo asked while facing Zan's back.
Choking, Zan wiped the tear away from his cheek and nodded.
"I can't help it" Zan sobbed, "I feel so sad"
He cried softly. Yibo comforted him and lent his shoulder, "hush, let it out. I'm right here"
That night, Zan slept restless in Yibo's arms like a baby.
The next day, Hao Xuan was flirting with Jiyang inside their classroom.
"YangJi, aren't you gonna give me Snow and Ice? Are you still fond of them?" Hao Xuan
pouted. This time it was Hao Xuan trying to get rid of the huskies, obviously because he was jealous.
"No way, I love them very much" Jiyang said and fixed his messy hair with his long slender fingers.
"Let me help you" Hao Xuan giggled and helped Jiyang fixed his hair.
"Zan, do you want to eat something? I'll buy it for you" Yibo said, his hand resting on Zan's nape. The older shook his head. Seeing that Zan was still on the phase of sadness, Yibo sighed.
"Baby, just tell me if you want to throw the dogs away. I'll be happy to let them live in my house, okay?" Hao Xuan said while softly scratching the angel's chin.
"Dream on" Jiyang sticked out his tongue and pouted.
"Do you want me to find Zed?" Yibo asked Zan. Zed was the bald guy who bullied Zan and the one who accidentally shot the poor old man.
"I don't know" Zan bowed his head, sighing, "What should I tell him when I see him then?"
With that, Yibo was left speechless. If Zan wanted him dead, Yibo would gladly kill the guy. But that's not the case, and surely Zan never wanted to kill a person.
"Then please tell me, Zan. What should I do in order to comfort you?" Yibo asked. He was frustrated too. Seeing the person you love suffer and do nothing because there is nothing you can do is painful.
"Just... Just stay by my side. That's all" Zan sighed. Red circles surrounding his puffy eyes made Yibo worried.
"I hate seeing you like this" Yibo said. Zan exhaled deeply and burried his face under his arms. He was pretending to sleep on his desk. Patiently, Yibo just gave him a massage on the hair and let him rest.
"Yibo, were you two fighting?" Jiyang asked when he noticed that the oldest was gloomy since the morning. Yibo shook his head and sighed.
"And I can't tell you right now" he said. Hao Xuan as always sharp, he knew that something bad really happened.
"Did someone die?" he bluntly asked. Jiyang gasped and immediately covered Hao Xuan's mouth in disbelief, "What nonsense are you spouting, Xuan?"
Like a boss, Hao Xuan licked the flesh covering his mouth and smirked. Jiyang quickly took his hand away, face pale as snow.
"Yes" Yibo replied. The couple were shocked with the bad news.
"Who is it?" The angel asked.
"Zan's grandpa, the stray old man" the bad boy replied.
"And what about the grandma he told us?" Jiyang asked, his voice slightly shaking. Hao Xuan softly pinched his arm so he could relax.
"Currently living alone miserably. She's got no one to look after her right now" Yibo said.
"Who killed him?" Hao Xuan frowned.
"Zed, police says it was an accident" Yibo tried to sound calm as possible. He glanced at Zan who was really sleeping now because he haven't slept peacefully last nigh at all. He kept dreaming about the old man, the times where they used to laugh together, eating sweets during Friday and drinking a lot of tap water during weekends just to fill their hunger.
"That fucking dickhead?" Hao Xuan growled. Jiyang didn't know whether he'd laugh or cry with the way Hao Xuan name people.
"Was it really an accident?" Hao Xuan frowned and thought deeper.
"What are you trying to say?" Yibo asked, confused.
"Who told you it was an accident?" Hao Xuan sounded very serious.
"The police, of course. Just what are you trying to say? I'm not as smartass as you nor the people around here. Stop acting cool and spill it now" Yibo groaned while glaring at his cousin.
"Only you" Jiyang 'hmp'-ed and rolled his eyes. He may not be that smart but he was way better than Yibo in some other aspects.
"We can't discuss it here. Others might hear it and it's very risky. What I'm trying to say is, the police were wrong" Hao Xuan said. Hearing the last sentence, both Yibo and Jiyang cleared their throats and finally understood.
"Then, what are we gonna do?" Yibo asked.
"Let's ditch class and discuss it outside the school" Hao Xuan suggested. A moment later, he received a slap on the back of his head.
"You're not trying to make up stories just to cut classes, aren't you?" The angel frowned. Hao Xuan smiled innocently as if saying that Jiyang was wrong.
"Baby, I'm serious" he said while chuckling.
"If you hate coming to class that much, just go away and scram. Stop trying to be cool" Jiyang hissed and rolled his eyes.
"Fine fine. I'm itching for a smoke, and I'm dragging my cousin along with me. I can't let YangJi come with me. You better watch sleeping brother Zan instead" Hao Xuan giggled and kissed Jiyang's cheek naughtily. He then gave Yibo a serious look which the bad boy easily understood.
"Yeah, I'm on the mood to have a smoke right now. You watch Zan for me" Yibo got along with the act and winked at Jiyang.
Jiyang noticed that Hao Xuan was really in a hurry and Yibo did not protest being ordered by his cousin, he felt that something was off. His heart started beating faster as he held his breath, "They're not going to find Zed and start a fight, are they?"
"Baby, I'll be back soon" Hao Xuan smiled at Jiyang which made the angel feel even more restless. The Huangs hurriedly went out of the classroom as if they were in a rush.
"Xuan!" Jiyang shouted and walked fast towards Hao Xuan. The bad guy had no idea but he was forcing a smile towards his angel, "Yes, YangJi-?"
Jiyang cupped his boyfriend's face softly and kissed him. The kiss was hot and sexy, making the other students around gasped in awe. Some were shocked and others were squirming, mostly girls. It was as if they had seen such a rare scene. Hao Xuan always considered Jiyang's feelings so he never dared to do something bold with Jiyang in public, especially at school. But having Jiyang do this kind of act out of the blue, Hao Xuan couldn't help himself but get excited. He pulled the angel's necktie violently and kissed back the angel even wilder. Forcing his tongue inside and exploring the mouth that tasted like black forest cake.
"Take care. I'll be waiting, hm?" Jiyang broke the kiss, panted and bit his bottom lip.
"I'll be back before you even miss me. I promise" Hao Xuan smirked and pecked the angel's lips one last time.
"Done making a show?" Yibo snarled, he felt like wanting to go back to the classroom and kiss Zan too. He was totally envious and he hated it.
Hao Xuan mouthed the word "I love you" before running away with his cousin. Jiyang forced a smile and went back inside to check on Zan.
"What's your plan?" Yibo asked while jogging.
"Call at least 30 people. We'll deal with that motherfucker. He never learns" Hao Xuan growled.
"Right away" Yibo snarled.
