"Then what if I really break them now?"

 Yibo was still trying to calmly stare at Xiao Zhan's eyes which were fixed on him. After 30 seconds of silence Xiao Zhan said something which made Yibo weak .

 "You'll get hurt Yibo . And I don't want to hurt you. Get rid of your feelings and we can continue our contract."

 Yibo heard every painful word with a trembling body. He blinked, not wanting to be seen crying in this big room including in front of Xiao Zhan.

 Xiao Zhan walked over to him.  Then lifted  Yibo's chin to stare  into his face. 

 "So can we carry out our contract again?"

 Yibo could feel the corner of his eyes flooding with tears. Then his head nodded while clenching his fist tightly until it turned white. He was already feeling weak and fragile. 

 He didn’t know how to feel. How could Yibo know the feeling of love and belonging, only to have it yanked away, making him feel lost and powerless. 

  

 Xiao Zhan looked at him. Did the tall man see his tears falling now. He was not aware that Yibo felt destroyed with pain from his words.  "Good boy, now accompany me to eat. You must carry out this task. Do not_"

 "I know."

 Yibo cut off  Xiao Zhan's words first. He was no longer able to take the another hit to his feelings making his chest tighten.  

 "So, don't waste my time, let's eat together."

 Only that sentence was composed by Yibo earlier. So, he could run away from conditions that broke his heart into pieces. 

 ***

 Awkwardness now filled the luxury black car. In the passenger seat Yibo seemed to concentrate staring out at the road. Xiao Zhan, who was beside him, was more content looking at some files and folders.

 "Jiang Cheng, please stop the car over there," Xiao Zhan pointed to the driver to one of the row of restaurants on the roadside that looked crowded.

 The driver whose full name was Jiang Cheng nodded. Then pulled aside the car while Yibo was still daydreaming with a broken heart, Xiao Zhan sighed pulling the chin  of the man back to look at him.

 "Are you going to still daydream, um? It’s lunch time. I'm hungry," Xiao Zhan said softly.

 Yibo, whose consciousness had disappeared, was now back. He pulled his face away from Xiao Zhan's hand. Yibo  now  knew enough, not to be ensnared again by the kindness and actions of the man in front of him.

 "Yes." Yibo answered briefly then slowly then opened the car door. However, 

as he stood on his feet, Yibo seemed to realize something. This restaurant was, the usual restaurant he and A Yuan went to when eating out . The restaurant’s food was delicious and it reminded him of his mother’s cooking. Did Xiao Zhan bring him here for some purpose.
