On time, yibo thought to himself while checking on his watch. He then rushed to the hall room, where all the casts were gathered. He noticed all the casts were half ready, several of them already put their costumes and make up on while the other were busy memorizing the script. He scanned the hall and he found Xiao Zhan standing with Zhuo Cheng? Well he was bad at memorizing names. They were having chit-chat and Yibo saw Xiao Zhan held the script with his hand. Yibo tilted his head noticing Xiao Zhan’s costume that looked good on him, Yibo raised his eyebrow at his own thought, ‘…???.....’ he dismissed it as soon as possible. Deciding to finish the preparation, he then focused on his belonging.
------WX-------
Looking down at his script, he tried to memorize it while listening to Zhuo Cheng. Somehow he couldn't concentrated at his dialogue at the moment, not because of Zhuo Cheng though, but he couldn’t remember any of it right now no matter how hard he repeated it on his head. Zhuo Cheng kept talking some random things to him and Xiao Zhan just nodded his head several times. Even though Zhuo Cheng realized that Xiao Zhan didn’t paid any attention to him but he kept talking and didn’t care about it at all.
Feeling bored again, Xiao Zhan puffed his cheeks and looked around. He eyes caught someone at the corner of the Hall. He smiled, suddenly feeling happy, he decided to go to him, he jogged and left Zhuo Cheng alone.
“Hei…Xiao Zhan!..Where are you going?” Zhuo Cheng yelled at him.
“Bye..bye…” he said loudly while smiling happily.
“Huft, so weird, suddenly so cheerful like that” Zhuo Cheng said to himself and shook his head knowing well Xiao Zhan’s antics behavior, looking down to his script, he decided to continue memorizing his dialogue.
Even though the distance was only 300 meters long but the hot weather made him sweating, not to mention he was jogging. He stopped suddenly in front of Yibo and greeted him with delight.
"Yibo.." Xiao Zhan grinned.
Yibo startled and turned, widened his eyes in surprise that Xiao Zhan was there.
"Sorry, did I surprised you?" Xiao Zhan asked with a smiled and strached his head.
Yibo opened his mouth a little, but Xiao zhan suddenly cutted him off.
"No more Mn for me okay Yibo?!..We have so many vocabulary, please just use at least 10 of it Yibo." Xiao Zhan said happily.
Yibo just stared at him, lost for a moment until he shook his head.
"I am not." Yibo replied.
They faced each other at that moment, and upon hearing Yibo's respond Xiao Zhan couldn't help but felt happy and moved one step closer to Yibo.
"What is not?..What Yibo?" He said enthusiastically, eyes wide and smile brightly. Yibo could see Xiao Zhan's radiant smile and energy which made him step back a little, feeling overwhelmed. Yibo blinked and averted his eyes, deciding to kept silent.
Feeling a little hurt by Yibo's reaction, Xiao Zhan frowned and stared at him, wondering what did he do wrong. Noticing the quite respond, Yibo looked back at Xiao Zhan and couldn't help but studied Xiao Zhan's face. He noticed a thin layer of sweat above Xiao Zhan's upper lips, a smooth wigs bangs stiking to his right cheek, because of sweat. A soft panted from his lips and a frown that marred his face. Yibo parted his lips and coughed a little, he then looked at Xiao zhan's eyes.
"Do I bother you?" Xiao Zhan asked curiously.
Yibo shook his head.
"Good, I am happy then" Xiao Zhan said.
Yibo nodded his head, curious Yibo then asked him.
"Did you…...run?" Yibo asked.
"Huh? ohh...ohhh...umm...No I am just jogging a little, cause you see I never have any exercise recently. hehehe, so yeah I just exercise.." He said grinned and strached his head again. Well he didn't lied about that, because he never exercised recently right? Xiao Zhan was unsure about the answer though. He never cared about exercise before.
Yibo nodded his head and suddenly remembered about the fan.
"I..…...Thank you." Yibo said.
Xiao Zhan looked confuse.
"I wonder why are you always saying thank you Yibo? I didn't do anything I guess.?" Xiao Zhan said looking lost.
Frowned 'He doesn’t remember about his fan?' Yibo thought to himself.
Xiao Zhan was still there stared and grinned at him. Yibo opened his mouth to said something but Xiao Zhan cutted him off.
"Anyway I want to say thank you for yesterday, I am so grateful for your present."
".......Mn…" Yibo said while nodding his head slowly, feeling very shy.
"Hmph, See you forgot about the Mn thing" Xiao Zhan said while crossed his arm.
Yibo just blinked and nodded his head.
"Sorry" Yibo said
Xiao Zhan smiled widely
"You are so cute Yibo" He said happily.
Yibo widened his eyes and glanced down, he disliked it very much when someone called him cute. But this time he couldn't help but happy and shy hearing the praising. Xiao Zhan suddenly held his wrist, made him startled and looked at Xiao Zhan.
"Come let's join with us, come! hurry!" Xiao Zhan said dragging Yibo towards Xiao Zhan's friends. Yibo didn't have a time to respond before he let himself dragged by Xiao Zhan. 'I am not ready for this' Yibo thought to himself.
--------WX--------
Apparently Zhuo Cheng has moved and joined with the other casts after Xiao Zhan left him. Zhuo Cheng then looked up from his script and noticed Xiao Zhan dragging someone with him. 'Oh it's Wang Yibo' he thought, and suddenly strightened his posture. The other casts seemed to noticed it too and some of them started to whispered to each other, eyeing them.
"Zhuo Cheng...Zhuo Cheng…" Xiao Zhan called at him, oblivious to all that.
"What?" Zhuo Cheng answered him, while eyeing Yibo and stared at their hands.
"Mind if we join?" Xiao Zhan asked him. Yibo just glanced at them and noticed several of them stared at him weirdly. He started to get uncomfortable now, Yibo averted his eyes from them.
"...Sureee…" Zhuo Cheng said slowly while signaling his eyes toward their hands. Xiao Zhan seemed just realized about it and released his hold on Yibo's wrist, starched his head he grinned again. Yibo just stood there awkwardly, didn't know what to do.
Meanwhile some of the casts started to whispering and eyeing Yibo again. Yibo felt his uncomfortable doubled by now, he then glanced around and to Xiao Zhan.
" I have to go" Yibo said and turned as fast as he could.
"Hah?..Huh?? Yibo??.." Xiao Zhan felt confused and was about to go after him when Zhuo Cheng called him.
"Xiao Zhan"
"What?" Xiao zhan said to Zhuo Cheng.
"Ummm...you...know him?" Zhuo Zheng asked curiously.
"Yes of course, why??" Xiao Zhan titled his head feeling weird with the question.
"Never thought that the Ice Prince can have a friend." Someone said from beside Zhuo Cheng.
"The rumor said he is very arrogant, and I guess it's true. Look at him just now. No manner at all." One of the casts said heatedly
Xiao Zhan just stared at them dumbfoundedly. He was confused, how come Yibo arrogant? He never saw Yibo being arrogant. He then turned toward Yibo and saw his retreated back from far. 'Does he really arrogant? I don't believe it.' He said to himself.
"Xiao zhan" Zhuo Cheng called him
Xiao zhan was still looking at Yibo's retreated back and didn't answer.
"Just let's go, we have to prepare for our next scene" Zhuo Cheng said
Xiao Zhan wanted to go after him but he remembered his next scene. He then turned toward Zhuo Cheng feeling dejected.
"Let's go" Xiao Zhan said.
Noticing his dispirited friend, he then put his hand on Xiao Zhan shoulder and smiled at him. Xiao Zhan just looked at him, didn't smiled at all.
"Just forget about it" Zhuo Cheng said and dragged Xiao Zhan with him to their next location.

'Ck I should refuse it.' Yibo said to himself while walking hurriedly back to his place. Feeling the anger started to rise, he coughed, feeling his throat hurt and itchy. 'Not again' he thought to himself and run to his belonging, rummaging his bag. He found the the bottle and drank it as soon as possible. Feeling better, he then sat and stared at nothing. Yibo looked at where Xiao Zhan was and noticed Zhuo Cheng circled his hand on Xiao Zhan's shoulder. He averted his eyes, 'I better be alone' he said to himself and decided to do what his duty today and pray for this day to be end soon.
