Chapter 2

When Fan Ziming came back to senses he immediately shrugged him away.

Xiao Zhou laughed and said, "2 minutes 25 seconds"

Fan Ziming : ".. what?"

Xiao Zhou: "The longest time you let me hold you.. today, 2 mins 25s." He laughed and continued in a small voice that only two of them could hear, "Is my boss slowly falling for me?"

Fan Ziming, today, seemed to be affected by slow-response-poison, he blinked for a moment and said, ".. NONSENSE!"

Now along with Xiao Zhou even Lin Yuan started laughing.

"Have you had enough?", Fan Ziming raised his voice at Lin Yuan and turned to look at Xiao Zhou, "And you.." he inched closer to intimidate but Xiao Zhou didn't back off, ".. WHY ARE YOU HERE!", Fan Ziming gritted every word out of his teeth.

Xiao Zhou casually said, "Boss, this is the city market! CITY MARKET! It's you guys who disturbed our peace! Why are you asking me such a lame question. what? hanging out with Lin Yuan even made you this dumb?"

Lin Yuan : "... what did I even do.."

"I know it's the market! but how did you find this abandoned place..!", Fan Ziming's voice was still low.

Xiao Zhou sighed, "Fan Ziming ah Fan Ziming.. First, you guys decided to collaborate to exchange confidential details of our countries medicinal drugs with foreigners, that's the first crime. But when did you guys even thought anything bad about doing crimes. Secondly, you guys could have peacefully exchanged the information but no, you intentionally set off an explosion, leading away some of the foreigners because you were not ready to sell all the information and decided to capture them as a whole and use the medicinal records to exchange for even better price with another organization. Am I right?", he didn't wait for any reply and continued, ".. But you didn't expect those foreigners to be more cunning than you and didn't expect they have a backup of such huge numbers within our city, here, within our locals and you're caught off guard, right?"

Fan Ziming didn't say a word much less Lin Yuan.

"I happened to pass by here with a friend", he grinned as if the one who completely analyzed their plans was someone else and took out a string silver bracelet from his pocket and grabbed Fan Ziming's wrist and tied the bracelet in the blink of an eye without anyone could realise.. ".. and I bought this bracelet, then I heard the explosion so I decided to stay back and give this bracelet to you. Do you like it?", Xiao Zhou smiled.

That smile again, that damned smile.. Fan Ziming's heart was in a disarray. He tried to take off the bracelet but in the end he unconsciously tightened it.

Lin Yuan couldn't hold his laughter anymore and started laughing.

"Xiao Zhou! what is that you want from me!", Fan Ziming no longer playing with the bracelet asked with a straight face.

"Me? oh.. I only want you"

Fan Ziming looked unamused as if he's already used to it.

"Don't lie to me!", Fan Ziming gritted his teeth.

Xiao Zhou inched closer, "Fan Ziming, I can understand that you don't like me the way I like you. I know you're a gangster who deserves thousand deaths for all the crime you've committed till now. But..", Xiao Zhou's eyes lowered, ".. how many reasons you give me, It's still the fact that you saved my life and from then I decided to cling onto you for a lifetime!", his usual playfulness returned back to his face but also had the rare sincerity, "...Don't judge my love for you even if you can't accept it.", he smiled and returned the gun to Lin Yuan and turned around and walked away.

"Don't judge my love.." Fan Ziming.. You don't know what you've given me. So even if you can't accept my love, don't disgrace my love for you.

"Even if you can't accept it.." Xiao Zhou.. If only I met you before I met him.. It's not that my breathing doesn't hitch whenever you smile.. It's not that my heart doesn't beat wild whenever I see you coming closer to me.. It's not that I don't want to hold you in my arms and live peacefully for a lifetime.. It's because I can't afford to. I don't deserve you.. You're the sunshine and I'm a black abyss. I'll only engulf your brightness. So please don't become my second scar.
