Chapter 5 - The Choice

Darkness had swallowed the entire room. Xiao Zhan's breath grew heavy, his eyes darting around. On the glass wall, faint glowing words appeared—

"Choose."

Xiao Zhan's heart skipped.

Xiao Zhan said in whispering—

"Whom… whom do I have to choose?"

Han stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with strange intensity.

Han : "Perhaps the shadow wants to show you the truth. One of us will hurt you… and one of us will save you. But which is which… only you can decide."

Yibo pulled Xiao Zhan fiercely into his arms, his voice sharp with anger.

Yibo sharply said —

"Enough of this nonsense, Han ! Zhan doesn't need to decide anything. He's with me. Always." 🔥

Confusion filled Xiao Zhan's eyes.

Xiao Zhan: "But… what if this is a warning? What if these whispers are trying to save me? Who should I trust?"

The chilling voice returned, echoing in the air—

Whisper: "Choose wisely… or lose everything." 👻

The silence was crushing. Han took a slow breath, his tone heavy.

Han : "See? This isn't a game. The spirit wants to claim you. And if you choose wrong… your heart will be bound forever."

Yibo's grip tightened, his eyes burning with both anger and tears.

Yibo: "You don't need to look at anyone else. Only me. I'll tear the world apart before I let someone take you."

Han's gaze was cold, unflinching.

Han : "Don't call it love if it's a cage, Yibo. If he truly chooses you… he won't need to be forced."

Xiao Zhan's heart raced wildly, torn between Yibo's possessive fire and Han's quiet mystery. 🌑💔

And then, on the glass, new words appeared—

"Tonight, one truth will be revealed."

Xiao Zhan froze.

He knew—whatever truth awaited him, it would change everything.
