《FearLess HEARTS ❤》Chapter 40. I Don't Want You To Take Responsibility.
Advertisement
The next morning, Zhan woke up and turned his body over, he felt as if his bones were breaking apart.
He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a sumptuously-decorated room. It didn't look unfamiliar to him.
He took a glance around the room and realized that it was the room of Yibo's house.
He lifted the quilt as he wanted to get up from bed and looked down.
He immediately widened his eyes and screamed loudly, "Ahh!"
His scream was muffled by the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.
Zhan looked towards the bathroom in horror. He could faintly see the figure of a fit man through the frosted glass.
Really?
He vigorously pulled the bed sheet.
What did I do last night?
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped abruptly. A moment later, Yibo pulled the door open with his slightly wet hand. He wrapped a towel around his waist, and wiped his hair as if nothing had happened. It seemed that he didn't hear Zhan screaming just now.
After taking two steps, he saw Zhan sitting on the bed and their eyes met in an instant.
Looking at Yibo's strong upper body, Zhan's mind went blank.
Zhan tipped the corner of his lips and revealed a forceful smile. He stuttered himself words, "You and I... last night, perhaps... did something happen?"
"Can't you feel it yourself?"
Yibo asked him back. He placed the towel on his shoulder and the water droplets on his partially wet hair streamed down his face. He looked extremely hot.
"Don't come over."
Zhan covered his eyes as he didn't want to look at Yibo body.
"What are you afraid of?"
Yibo stood by the bedside with a calm face, "We've done everything that we should and shouldn't do last night. Don't tell me that you have no memory of what happened last night at all."
Zhan lowered his head, with a face as red as tomato. He was so nervous that he couldn't say a word. Of course he knew what happened last night.
"I... I can't remember."
Zhan summoned up his courage and planned not to admit it.
Yibo sneered above his head, and Zhan thought he had misheard it.
When he looked up, Yibo had already taken a bathrobe from the closet and walked towards the door.
"The servant will send medicine later. Come downstairs to eat after you've changed your clothes." Yibo stood at the door with his back facing him and said in a cold tone.
"Medicine?" Zhan froze for a moment, "What medicine?"
Was it a contraceptive pill or something?
When he was thinking nonsense, a profound voice sounded outside the door.
"Antiseptic cream."
"Did I injure myself?" Zhan felt inexplicable at the man who couldn't make his words clear enough.
Zhan really didn't understand his words. When he got out of bed to take a shower, his face turned red.

In an instant, he understood where this antiseptic cream should be applied at.
He didn't know whether he should be angry at this man, or thanked him for being considerate.
After changing his clothes, he stayed in the room for more than ten minutes to clear his mind before pulling the door out. When he saw the servant in the hallway who was preparing to clean the room, his face was still looking calm.
...
When Zhan got downstairs, Yibo wasn't in the living room Zanjin was there. He pretended that nothing had happened and greeted Zanjin.
"Good morning."
Zanjin smiled brightly, "Mr. Zhan, it isn't morning anymore. It's already noon."
The forced smile on Zhan's face seemed even more forceful now.
"Young master is handling some business affairs in the study room. He told me to call him for lunch once you come downstairs."
"No need." Zhan quickly raised his hand and made a refusal gesture, "Don't call him. I'm leaving now. I have something else to do, so I won't be eating here."
"Ahh, Mr. Zhan, I don't think this is a great idea. This..."
Zhan was afraid that Zanjin would stop him from leaving, so he hurriedly walked out.
The sound of a car stopping sounded outside and Zhan halted his steps.
A black car stopped outside the courtyard. A familiar old housekeeper got down and opened the car door. The old man of Wang's family got out of the car.
"Zhan?"
Qiren looked him over, "What a coincidence, I'm here to visit Yibo. You're here too?"
"Grandpa."
Zhan smiled with guilt. He wanted to dig a hole and hide his head inside. At that moment, he realized all the things that had happened earlier wasn't awkward at all. The awkwardness now, was only the most awkward moment he had ever experienced in his entire life.
Two minutes later, Yibo went downstairs from the study room and Zhan had been arranged to have a sit at the dining table, as if he was a criminal waiting for trial.
"Grandpa?" Yibo frowned and walked towards them, "Why are you here?"
Qiren said lovingly, "You haven't been coming back home to visit me for so long. I stopped by to see you on the way, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise here."
The old man decided to stop by today? This was way too coincident.
Yibo didn't expose him. He walked towards the seat opposite Zhan and was about to take a sit, but a servant pulled a chair next to Zhan, "Young master, take a sit here."
Zhan suddenly coughed and shook his head at him.
He was as guilty as a teenage girl who didn't return home all night to have fun getting caught by his elders.
Yibo ignored Zhan's awkward expression and directly walked over to sit next to him, "Since grandpa is here, let's have lunch together."

Qiren slightly nodded his head. He asked Zhan to eat more, but he didn't move his chopsticks at all.
Zhan braced himself to eat, and he felt really uncomfortable eating with them.
The last time Zhan met Qiren was three years ago, it was the first time he had seen Qiren since his return.
Zhan was afraid that Qiren would suddenly ask some strange questions. He ate silently so that the Qiren could neglect his presence.
However, things wouldn't always go the way he want them to.
"I already knew about last night."
Zhan directly choked on the braised pork in his mouth when he said that. His face turned really red. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't do it. He could only hold the glass of water and kept pouring water down his throat.
Qiren gave Yibo a fierce stare, "Do I still have a say now?"
"Grandpa, it's really fast for you to know about this." Yibo steadily took a glance at Liam.
After being stared by Yibo, Liam immediately looked down. There was still no expression on his face.
Zhan here had finally swallowed the braised pork down his throat. He wanted to shake his hands and said no.
Before he could speak, Qiren said to Yibo, "By the way, now that you and Zhan settled down everything, you should hurry up and sort things out. My head hurts whenever I see any of those erroneous news."
It was settled?
Zhan raised his head and he was dumbfounded. What did they settle while I was still choking on a piece of braised pork?
I and Yibo?
"Alright, I'll stop bothering the both of you."
A sound was heard when the chair rubbed against the floor as Qiren stood up suddenly. He smiled and looked at Zhan.
"Zhan, when both of you have clear everything, Just let go past and start from beginning look to the future, come to my place, when you are free. I'll arrange someone to handle things about the wedding. You can directly contact me if anything happens."
In fact, Zhan had a lot to tell, but in that instance, he couldn't say a word. He stared at Qiren's back as he left, leaving him and Yibo staring at each other.
"I'll send you back."
After the dinner, Yibo took the initiative to send him home. Zhan was not willing to do so, but he wanted to clarify about what had happened today. So, he did not reject his request.
...
As the car drove out of the mansion area, the atmosphere in the car still remained dull and boring.
Zhan lowered his head, staring at his handphone. He was swiping Weibo, but he did not focus on the content at all, he was thinking about what Qiren had said.
Zhan don't want to start like before, Three years ago when they were drugged and have sex together. Zhan make Yibo to take responsibility and forced him to marriage, because of pregnancy. Now isn't different both were drunk and spend night. In reality their relationship didn't really improve.
"Should I turn right at the next exit?"
Yibo's voice suddenly came into his ears as he asked casually.
Zhan froze for a few seconds and then he nodded, "Yes."
The car stopped in front of a red light before turning into the exit. The red light had 60 seconds left before it would turn green.
Yibo's slender fingers were gripping on the steering wheel, his right index finger was tapping on it unrhythmically.
Suddenly, Yibo asked, "I have something to ask you about what had happened last night."
"Last night."
Zhan's body turned stiff. He grasped his fingers and spoke stiffly, "There's nothing to worry about last night."
Yibo's fingers stopped tapping on the wheel.
"Erm."
Zhan sniffed and pretended to be okay about it.
"We were drunk last night, and we are grown-ups now. Don't take it too seriously. I also know that what happened it's not your fault, so you don't need to feel uneasy about this. I, I wouldn't want you to be responsible about anything, I'm not that kind of person."
Yibo tightened his grip so hard that a hollow appeared on the leather cover of the wheel. His face was still expressionless, but his tone turned cold suddenly.
"Get out of the car."
"What?"
"Didn't you just say that you don't need me to be responsible about anything? you can leave the car now."
Anger could be slightly felt from his cold voice and his voice echoed in the car.
Zhan finally sobered up.
He stood beside the road, watching Yibo's car leaving without any hesitation. Finally, all the expression and attitude he disguised collapsed, he stopped pretending to be okay about it. He sat down in the corner.
Why were all these things happening?
Relationships end too soon because people stop putting in the same effort to keep you, It doesn't matter who hurt you, or broke you down. What matters is who made your heartbeat again. If you care about that person enough, none of that matters, it just matters that the two of you can find a way to come to an agreement and move forward.
I hope both character understood this thing. Zhan had stopped making efforts to their relationship and Yibo hot temper guy don't know how to make someone fall for him.🙁 (Yibo u need to become shameless.)
Sometime I think of my other stories "You are my destiny" and "Don't Be So Nice To You"
In that stories Yibo character is more shameless who tease Zhan and do wherever he want. 🤣🤣😹😹😹
If Yibo from that stories are here what u think he do?
I think he don't say Zhan to get out from car. He lock car and kissed him forcefully and make Zhan take responsibility for their night. 😜😜😜😜

The Forgotten Hero
Long ago, in the world of Thyne, the Alliance of the Free Races, a name they had given themselves, summoned a hundred humans from another dimension. Praised as heroes by the people, they rejoiced that they had been able to acquire pure, mana deficient humans that wanted to aid them in their time of need, ignoring the black, archaic slave collars around their necks or the depressed, almost hate-filled expressions that they received when interacting with them. After Ten years of bloody war, the dark races were pushed back deep into their territories. Both sides were near breaking point and desperate to end the war once and for all. In a bargain, the twelve surviving heroes launched a high-risk mission, utilising advanced tactics from their home world to kill the Demon Lord. In exchange, they would be sent home, along with the magically preserved corpses of their comrades, though in truth, they knew that even if they returned, they would never be the same. Legends say that, upon ambushing the Demon Lord in his castle, they finally understood the plight of the world, and in the last act of heroism, sacrificed their lives, sealing him in an eternal prison so his essence would not be able to create another. With the loss of the Demon Lord, and no chance for another to be born, the dark races quickly surrendered and the free races celebrated, honouring the noble sacrifice of the heroes before quickly forgetting about them as they returned to their everyday lives. However, legends are rarely truthful, embellished by the victors in order to earn praise as well as hide the less desirable aspects of their deeds. Trapped in the Demon Lord's throne room inside the Demonic Palace, which even taking a single step on its desecrated grounds is punished by death, two figures remain motionless. They had long run out of insults and threats to trade and now they waited. For what, not even the Gods knew.

The Silence Within
Within her was the rising wave of memories, bowling over in violent tides, trying to crash through the barrier she had built over the years. She could feel the force that shook the restraints, leaving her almost breathless. She won't let it happen. The bang intensified, shaking and nearly spilling.
