Xiao Zhan focused on his laptop while laying prone on his bed. His eyes stared at the screen without blinking.
‘Yibo’ he said quietly on his mind, feeling suddenly sad.
Today he had his day off and decided to spent his time at home and checking the newest update online when he suddenly remembered about Yibo. He started to search and read the news about him and several hours later he felt bad for the boy, not only so many nasty comments for him but also almost of his related search was bad news. One that got his attention the most was the rumour about his role for Lan Wangji, apparently there was a rumour of him and his agency that they bribed the producer with a large sum of money in order to have the role. Hence this made Yibo got another hates and nasty comments from the public. So far no official released from Yibo and the agency regarding this matter, which made the situation worsened . Now he recalled how hard it was to approach Yibo at first, not to mention how timid the boy was. Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but thought that probably it was the way Yibo defended himself against the world, and he was alone at that.
Xiao Zhan understood how cruel the showbiz could be, and he knew that this could happen to anyone but he couldn’t help himself to think more about Yibo. Not only Yibo was his current partner on screen but also he honestly admired him for all his achievements in such a young age. Further more he spent more time with Yibo recently and he could see how pure and childish sometimes Yibo was. Somehow that made Xiao zhan believe in him more and felt that he couldn’t leave the boy alone. He couldn’t.
‘Yibo’ Xiao Zhan sent a message on impulsed.

‘Yes’ Yibo replied.
Xiao Zhan almost jumping because of happiness, knowing Yibo replied the message.
‘I ordered the wrong flavour’ Xiao Zhan sent.
‘What is?’
‘Ice Cream’
‘.………….’
‘.…………’ Xiao Zhan suddenly felt stupid for lying like this to him. He waited and waited anxiously.
‘It’s vanilla’ Xiao Zhan sent again, wishing to get a response from Yibo.

‘.……..Zhan ge……’ Yibo replied.
‘Yes’ Xiao Zhan responded as fast as he could.
‘Did you invite me to have a lunch?’ yibo replied.
‘.…………’
‘.…………’
‘aaahh haha’ Xiao Zhan couldn’t think anymore response at that moment, he suddenly felt shy.
‘??’ Yibo replied
‘.……..Yes…..’ Xiao zhan sent, now he wanted to bury himself because of embarrassment and of course he was also afraid of rejection from Yibo this time.
.
.
.
After minutes or so, Xiao Zhan started to get jittery, afraid of the response.
.
.
‘Where?’ Yibo replied.
Xiao Zhan sat up suddenly and grinned, but then he realized his lie and he should think fast about which cafe that has the most delicious Ice cream near his place.
‘I am here’ Xiao Zhan sent the address and scrambled fast to change his clothes and all so he could arrived there earlier than Yibo.
====================WX======================
Wearing a red T-shirt and black ripped jeans, Yibo entered the cafe and he looked around searching for Xiao Zhan. He spotted Xiao Zhan at the corner of the cafe, wearing a blue shirt and white jeans waiting for him. He seemed distracted by something though.
Yibo walked closer and greet him.
“Zhan Ge”
Xiao Zhan looked up and smile brightly, Yibo couldn’t help but stared at him and smiled back.
‘You came” He said happily.
“Of course” Yibo sat in front of him and saw nothing on the table.
Yibo stared at Xiao Zhan, his eyes clearly full of question. Xiao Zhan scratched his head, grinning widely.
“You see, I ahhaa hahah…..Lied” He said while averting his eyes and looking nervous.
Yibo stared.
“How could you?!” Yibo said sternly.
Xiao zhan shocked and looked at Yibo, he stared but couldn't read Yibo’s expression at all. Feeling guilty Xiao Zhan looked down, didn’t said anything.
.
.
.
.
Yibo couldn’t help but giggled seeing Xiao Zhan reaction, ‘he is cute’ Yibo thought. Xiao Zhan looked up and frown at Yibo and he realized that Yibo only teased him.
“1-1” Yibo said.
"Yaaah..." Xiao Zhan said.
They both smiled and hours later they were talking, laughing and playing games as usual while ordering ice cream vanilla for Yibo and strawberry for Xiao Zhan, of course with a lot of pudding and fruits.
