" Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong that its mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star.”

Chapter 43
The after effects of Convoluted Emotions...





Zhan's Room, Hostel
 

It is late in the night and Zhan is lying wide awake in the bed , looking up at the wooden ceiling , snuggled under his blanket. There is a sentimental grin on his face as he reflects on what had happened with him and Yibo in the last 24  hours. He had seen monsters in action and stood in the line of fire but thanks to the shield on his arm, he was no longer scared of these creatures and was in fact , even beginning to understand how they functioned . That how far these beasts ( apart from his Yibo who was different) could go , survival and power were the only driving force for them and how the creatures of darkness like Yibo and Sam balanced the human being and the monster inside them. 
Zhan's mind went back to the kiss. He hadn't really recovered from that heady feeling of Yibo having kissed him right on his lips and having held him in his arms as if he is all that Yibo has. As Zhan recalled the sight of a bare bodied Yibo hugging him and kissing him, he felt his cheeks blush and with a cute and mischievous grin, he hid his face in his soft white pillow. Just then, he heard a naughty whistle and Zhan sat up straight with a start. 
Right in front of him , he saw the superhot and super bitchy version of himself sitting on the open window amongst flying curtains and clicking her pencil heels together as the catsuit highlighted the shape of her shapely body against the moonlight.
Zhan ( stunned )- Qui Su!
Qui Su ( winks at him )- Dreaming about Yibo? See, I caught you there! Only Yibo's thoughts give those silly stupid smiles to women and now you! Did I interrupt your pink dreams of a happily ever after with the vampy?
Zhan ( looks at her calmly )- What are you doing here , Qui Su?

Qui Su gets down from the window and with a sigh sits on a chair , putting her legs up on a table and the silver points of her shoes shining like a tiger's eye.
Qui Su ( eyeing the beautiful amber stones of the shield )- You are not scared of me anymore, hmmm? Infact , you are not scared of anything anymore. Yibo is smart. As soon as you stepped into the supernatural world , he tied you with this charmed shield. Xena truly is the master of her craft. Brilliance of magic. Am impressed.

Zhan ( sitting on his bed and looking at his  mirror image in awe but with grips on himself )- What have you come here for, Qui Su? It is not a casual visit , of course. If it is about Yibo , well I don't want to talk about him.

Qui Su ( puckers her lips as if to sulk )- Of course , it is about Yibo , my great-great-great who-knows-how-great little nephew! It will always be about Yibo.

Zhan is shell shocked to hear what Qui Su says and he feels his eyes and head go blank for a few seconds.

Zhan ( frozen )- I-I am sorry. Nephew? Whose nephew?

Qui Su ( rolls her eyes )- My nephew, baby. You are my bloodline, Zhan. I am your super gorgeous and superhot great-great-great-great aunt … ugh, how bland that sounds. Awwww…. Don't look so shocked, munchkin. I AM. Didn't your pea brain ever wonder how you can be my exact copy , hmmm?

Zhan is horrified to hear that and he gets down from the bed as he sees a cool and sassy Qui Su go up to Zhan's table and fiddle with things.

Zhan ( barely finding his voice )- Y-You are my ancestor , Qui Su?
