Summary
When Yibo gets the call to represent Apolune in a last-minute substitution for the Genubian asteroid rights negotiation, he drops everything to make it to Helion before the talks start. He gets there before his wardrobe does, even; and after a reception that passes in a sleep-deprived haze, he wakes the next day ready to face down the Helion consul and hold the line for Apolune.
That would be fine—this is Yibo’s job, after all. It’s just unfortunate that the consul of Helion has a very familiar face.

Summary
“You’re a ghost.”
“I am.”
Wang Yibo really was trying to decipher what the fuck was happening in front of him right now, but his brain was very obviously focused on something else, “How the fuck are you so pretty for a ghost?”
The very oddly pretty ghost blinked at him for a few seconds, then burst out laughing.
Wang Yibo’s new apartment is being haunted by an oddly pretty ghost. Ironically, with him, Yibo feels the most alive.

Summary
Everyone's buzzing that you canceled a meeting. Someone said you were sick. Xiao Zhan sends a weird worried face meme that Yibo doesn't recognize.
Yibo runs a tired hand over his face. He hears from Xiao Zhan once in a blue moon. There's been radio silence since they'd had what Yibo can only keep telling himself was a wildly ill-advised hook-up backstage months back. They weren't anything to each other. Why is Xiao Zhan asking about him now?
Yeah, is all he sends back. He tries to line up words to say next, but his brain is thrumming with bewildered exhaustion. He's staring down, thoughts moving sluggishly, as the screen dims for a moment, Xiao Zhan's text coming in right before it locks itself.
Your stomach again?
Yibo does, then, definitely break into slightly hysterical giggles. Yeah. Yeah, Xiao Zhan, it's his stomach again. It's definitely his stomach again. Sure. Yes. Absolutely. It's a big stomach thing. Probably going to be a huge stomach thing.
