Xiao Zhan took a cold water bottle and drank from it. As he turned, he suddenly gasped and clutched his chest. 
"Are you trying to scare me to death?" Xiao Zhan said. 
Wang Yibo stood behind him, leaning against the kitchen counter with his arms crossed and legs casually crossed. His face showed no emotion.
"Are you trying to scare me to death?" Xiao Zhan exclaimed.
Wang Yibo stood behind him, leaning against the kitchen counter with his arms crossed and legs casually crossed. His face was a mask of calm indifference.
"Listen, as I already told you, about your leaving," Wang said.
Before Wang could finish, Xiao Zhan interrupted, "No, Uncle said if I want to leave, that's up to me."
Wang Yibo's gaze was icy. "Don't even think about cutting me off. Just be ready tomorrow. You will leave."
"I’m not going anywhere," Xiao Zhan said firmly.
"Just yesterday, you were shaking like a leaf, and now you're arguing with me?" Wang Yibo stepped closer, staring directly into Xiao Zhan’s eyes. "Thank you for showing your true colors. If I had known what kind of person you are, I never would have let you in my house."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhan asked, confused.
"Lower your voice," Wang Yibo snapped. "You might fool my father with that innocent act, but not me."
"Jimmy isn’t your best friend," Wang Yibo continued.
Xiao Zhan was silent.
"Answer me, yes or no," Wang Yibo commanded.
Xiao Zhan nodded, his face showing his defeat.
Thank to father you are standing otherwise the filthy character you have I never let you step in my house . 
This is not true , xiao zhan said 
"It’s best for you to leave my house as soon as possible," Wang Yibo said. "
But I don’t want to. I have no one," Xiao Zhan pleaded.
"That’s not my problem. I’ll give you some money and help you find a place. But before you go,  assure my father, you have to leave on your own and never come back."
"And stay away from my father. I can’t take any risks," Wang Yibo added sternly.
"Tomorrow morning, tell my dad you’re leaving. By evening, James will take you wherever you need to go," Wang Yibo warned before walking away.

In the morning, Xiao Zhan woke up early or maybe he hadn’t slept at all. He went to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone.
"Good morning, Uncle. Why are you up so early?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"I don’t know. I just couldn’t sleep, so I came here," Uncle replied.
"Are you okay, Uncle? Xiao zhan asked 
I am okay son but you  seem a bit lost this morning," Mr. Wang  said.
"Actually, Uncle, I wanted to ask for your permission," Xiao Zhan started.
"What is it, son?" his uncle asked.
"I want to live with my friend who is living here," Xiao Zhan said.
"Xiao Zhan, it’s okay. What’s the problem? You can stay here whenever you want. Just make sure you see him," his uncle said.
"But, Uncle, I really want to move in with him," Xiao Zhan insisted.
"Xiao Zhan, you’re new here. I don’t know much about this friend of yours," his uncle said.
"I understand, Uncle. But you said you’d help me with whatever I needed. I need this," Xiao Zhan said.
"I said I’d help, but son, it’s not safe, " his uncle said.
"Uncle, I get your concern, but I really want to live on my own terms," Xiao Zhan replied.
Let him go,  Dad   Wang Yibo spoke up from behind them, "Dad, if he wants this, let him. We’re here to support him if he needs anything.", wang yibo came and take his chair. 
"But son, Mr. Wang said,"he  began to protest.
"Dad, he’s not a child. He can make his own decisions. We’ll be here to help him whenever he needs us. Let him live how he wants," Wang Yibo said.
Xiao Zhan looked at Wang Yibo with innocent eyes but Wang yibo ignore it.  
"Xiao Zhan, please promise me you’ll stay in touch and never hide anything from us. Call us whenever you need anything," Mr. Wang said with a warm smile.
"Uncle, can I hug you ?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"Of course, son," Mr. Wang said, pulling him into a tight hug.

“Listen, Wang Yibo said and  stop him . 
 Take this ,” Wang yibo  said firmly.
“What’s this?” Xiao Zhan asked, clearly confused.
“Why you can not see ” Wang Yibo replied, his frustration showing.
“I can see it, but why are you giving it to me?” Xiao Zhan asked, his voice filled with anger.
“This money is for you to survive,” Wang Yibo said, trying to stay calm.
“I don’t need your money,” Xiao Zhan said, “please move aside and let me go.”
Wang Yibo stood there, watching as Xiao Zhan walked away, his expression a mix of frustration and anger.
