Chapter 29
Zhan's experience of Obsession!
Xio Zhan's Hostel Room:
Zhan is back in his room and he has just washed his face. His eyes are swollen red from all the crying that he did in Heng's arms. He pulls his  hair together to tie them with a fabric band. And suddenly , his hand stops at his neck. His eyebrows narrow as he feels that his neck is warm.

Zhan ( hand on his neck and confused)- That is where the watersnake bit me , Yibo  said, but ( rubs his neck) why is it so warm.

Zhan looks at a sleeping Yika who came to study in his room and dozed off. He goes to wake her up but stops in his tracks.

Zhan ( getting into the couch  and pulling over the covers )- I can't ask her to look at my wound. We are not talking much, really and in this state of hers, I shouldn't be disturbing her sleep.

Zhan switches off the lamp and goes to sleep on his own bed. As he is sleeping, Zhan suddenly feels a hand caressing his hair. He recognizes the familiar masculine but protective touch. He opens his big brown eyes and looks at a smiling Yibo, sitting next to him and looking down at him. His deep set of eyes full of love. Zhan gets up with a start and looks into his hypnotic grey-brown concentric circles as he lovingly touches his face.

Yibo ( tenderly )- Has anyone ever told you before what an innocently beautiful sight you are when you sleep?...( moves the curls from his  face and tucks them behind his ears making Zhan's skin shiver) ..did I wake you up?

Zhan (blinking his eyes at Yibo's face as the handsome contours show in the moonlight)- H-How did you get in here, Yibo ?...I didn't even hear you coming! What if somebody sees you?

Yibo goes a little closer to his face and Zhan backs up to the wooden back of his bed, clutching the sides of the blanket. Zhan thinks that Yibo is going to kiss him but his lips go to his ears and he whispers in them as though telling him a secret.

Yibo (whispering )- Nobody sees me except you, and nobody looks at me the way you do.

Zhan feels ensnared by his warm fragrant breathing on his neck and that sends his senses for a toss. He closes his eyes and gently brings Yibo's face away from his neck and close to his face. He keeps looking at him without blinking his eyes. Slowly, he runs his hand over his chiseled demeanor as if to make sure that he is there for real. Tears well up in his eyes out of nowhere as he feels Yibo's face with his hands. Yibo raises his eyebrows at him as if to ask what happened. Zhan, his eyes not leaving Yibo's dark orbs, shakes his head and very gently, he presses his lips to his . He rests his forehead against his.
YIBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zhan screams and sits up straight in his bed , his heart pounding and totally breathless. He madly looks around but there is no Yibo. Even Yika is not in couch. Zhan gulps down the glass of water in one go and shakes his head as though trying to wake himself up from a drunken stupor. He gets out of the bed and looks down the balcony around his room , everywhere.

Zhan ( shocked at himself )- What the hell is wrong with me! I am dreaming of Yibo as soon as my head touches the pillow and that too...( recalls kissing and feeling him in his dream)  like that????????????......( cups his mouth to calm himelf). Zhan, you are losing it. Infact, you have lost it! You are dreaming and hallucinating Yibo and it is more forceful than before.
