9. Unexpected🐰

The morning sun was about to set on the earth. The young man, who was still curled up in his blanket, began to slowly open his eyes, realizing that someone is gently stroking his hair. He saw his mother lovingly looking at him. Surprised, he greeted his mother with a soft smile. But he smiled to himself as he remembered the things of the previous night.

"Have a good dream?"

"It's like that. Why did you come to my room in the early in the morning mom?"

"Just....hm....Dad needs to talk to you."

"Oh...o..k...Looks like not such a good thing."

"Depending on how you accept it. Take a shower soon. Dad is waiting at the library."

"Looks like this talk is very serious enough to put my breakfast back on?"

"Well kind of. Come on soon. Ok?"

"Ok Mom"

Yibo let out a big sigh. He felt his happiness soon fade. Talking to Dad is not a good thing at all. He began to remember the night before. The way Bunny came to see him, the way he himself confessed his feelings to his baby, the taste of his baby's red cherry lips was still felt by Yibo. He thought of running right now and taking Zhan in his arms and kissing him until he breathless. But........he began to worry about what his father had to say to him.

Yibo took a shower and quickly got ready and stood at the library door. He slowly knocked on the door.

"Come on in."

"Good morning dad!"

"Good morning and sid down here. Yibo You know, I speaks straight and not someone who wanted to be taken around. I told you to come here to make you aware of your marriage.

"What? Marriage?"

"Yes. Your marriage. And I don't want to ask you anything. Because all of this was decided before you were even born. So when I called the other family this morning they liked it. All you have to do is prepare."

"But why didn't you tell me about this before? What would you do right now if I just fell in love with someone else?"

"Whoever it is you will only marry the person who has bound you Yibo. Honey, give Yibo a photo of that person."

"I don't want see. And I don't want to agree. Why are you doing this to me? I'm still 24. Please let me wait a little longer."

"No Yibo no more. There are a lot of proposals to get you married right now. When I don't like them, they even stop our business. So getting married now is as good for you as it is for our family. Then no one will bother you. Check this out here."

Yibo stared at the picture his mother had given him for a moment. Then he let out a long sigh. He raised his head and took turns looking at his mother and father who were looking at him lovingly.

"I understand, Dad. I like this and even tho I have nothing else to do. I'll be ready."

"Good. And You understand Yibo we always want to see you get better. Now go to the office. Drive carefully."

"Have a good day Dad and Mom"

*****Xiao Mansion

The two older Xiao sat in the living room and fell into a very serious conversation.

"How do we tell this to Zhan? How will he take it?" Mrs Xiao said as she looked at her husband who was thinking with a bit of anxiety.

"I don't know honey, He is still a small child and also he's very sensitive. When I tell him about this, I'm afraid to think about his behavior."

"But we have to find a way to tell him this. Shall we tell him about Yibo's marriage first?"

"That sounds good. Then we can tell about his marriage. God, if I could get away with this other proposal I would never marry my little boy to anyone at such a young age."

"Don't worry honey. Zhan will understand."

"Dad, Mom, why did you two ask me to come? Oh, won't you let me sleep on a day like today?"

Zhan said angrily and came in front of his parents and sat down next to his mother. But it seemed to him that the two of them looked so serious that they could not joke.

"Ok tell me? What is happening here? Did you two fight? Why do I feel so hard to breathe here? Tell me something?"

"Zhan first tell me where did you come from last night?"

"Ahem..mmm..Mom...I went to enjoy some fresh air."

"Good.This is Zhan Hmm..... you have to get married soon. hmmm......In fact, this is a promise made by your grandfather."

"Mom, what are you talking? You know very well how much I love Yibo ge. I don't want anyone else in that. I do not want to. Not at all."

His last words echoed throughout the house.

"Zhan, honey listen to this, don't worry. Listen to what we have to say. Your dad didn't want to marry you so soon. But you keep getting marriage proposals from one family after another. When we don't like them, they lose the goodwill we have. So we're afraid they'll hurt you. We do this for your own good honey. Try to understand us, son."

"But mom, Yibo ge already said he loves me. No, that's not the case. I don't want anyone. I don't want to marry anyone."

"Listen baby Yibo ge is going to get married .... he already said yes to that."

"Nooooooooooooooooooooo! No he can't, He is mine.This is something I want to ask him. I will not give him to anyone else. He is mine. Only mine."

Before his parents could say anything else, Zhan grabbed the keys to his car and sped off. He began to drive, wiping the tears from his eyes. Because of the incessant tears, he felt that everything in front of him was blurring. He shouted at the guards who were blocking his way.

"Get out of my way! go away"

"Sir, a call to you, and very urgent one."

Yibo, who was in a meeting, was approached by his secretary in fear and handed him the phone.

He got a little angry but he picked up the phone and held it to his ear.

"Hello!"

"Hello Yibo, son, *sob* Zhan *sob*..."

"What happened to bunny aunty?" Zhan mother is crying. Yibo rose from his chair in great fear. Everyone in the meeting saw the difference in their sir and began to whispered to each other.

"Zhan *sob* When we told him you were going to get married *sob* He screamed like crazy. After that he ran to the outside and began to drives his car and comes to see you now.*sob* We already coming after him but please do something.......please Yibo I don't even know why I called you."

"Don't worry aunty. I'm coming now."

With that said Yibo quickly started running out of his office. He felt like he was going crazy. As he came out of the building, a speeding red sports car crashed into another car. A loud noise spread throughout the area.

"Xiao Zhaaaaaaaan"

You and I cannot hide

The love we feel inside

The words we need to say

I feel that I have always walked alone

But now that you're here with me

There'll always be a place that I can go

Suddenly our destiny has started to unfold

When you're next to me

I can see the greatest story love has ever told

Now my life is blessed with the love of an angel

How can it be true

Somebody to keep the dream alive

The dream I found in you

I always thought the love would be the strangest thing to me

But when we touch

I realize that I found my place in heaven by your side

I could fly when you smile

I'd walk a thousand miles

To hear you call my name

Now that I have finally found the one

Who will be there for me eternally

My everlasting sun

Suddenly our destiny has started to unfold

When you're next to me

I can see the greatest story love has ever told

Now my life is blessed with the love of an angel

How can it be true

Somebody to keep the dream alive

The dream I found in you

I always thought the love would be the strangest thing to me

But when we touch

I realize that I found my place in heaven by your side

That I've found my place in heaven by your side

Heaven by your side

Heaven by your side

Heaven by your side

And when you're next to me

I can see the greatest story love has ever told

Now my life is blessed with the love of an angel

How can it be true

Somebody to keep the dream alive

The dream I found in you

I always thought the love would be the strangest thing to me

But when we touch

I realize that I found my place in heaven by your side

Now my life is blessed with the love of an angel (heaven by your side)

Somebody who keep the dream alive (the dream I found in you)

I always thought that love would be the strangest thing to me

But when we touch, I realise

That I found my place in heaven by your side

-Heaven by Your Side-
