‘Beep…Beep’ Xiao Zhan looked down on his phone and smiled when he saw the sender of the message. ‘Meet me at my place asap.YB’
‘Asap?? ck..what’s with the hurry,’ Xiao Zhan thought, however he still speed up his car.
Xiao Zhan arrived 15 minutes later, wearing a thick jacket and masked covered his face. He sent a message to Yibo informing him that he had arrived.
‘Brrr…..’ He couldn’t help but shook his body and jump a little to make himself more warm. Today indeed was very cold outside.
‘Ding’ the elevator opened and he quickly went in and felt relieved that none was inside the elevator. Once again he took his phone and checked his new message, but still none.
‘Why hasn’t he replied?’ he thought.
The elevator opened a few minutes later, and Xiao Zhan just raised his brow when he noticed the hallway was dark.
‘Huh?’ Xiao Zhan stood there for a while, wondering if he pressed the wrong button. He glanced at the button and saw the correct floor number.
‘It isn’t wrong’
When he noticed the elevator door was closing in, he quickly stepped outside and took out his phone. Still no reply from Yibo.
‘Ck..asap he said...He must be teasing me now, Haa…just you watch yibo. ‘ he mumbled with a smile.
He turned the flash lamp on and walked slowly while checking the hallway.
‘Power outage?….but the elevator was okay’ He shrug and looked around checking his surrounding. He concluded that this floor might had the electricity problem.
3 minutes later he stood in front of Yibo’s door and ring the bells, once again he checked his surrounding, feeling suddenly eerie with the silent.
He waited for several second and no answer and even no movement from the inside. Once again He ringed the bells and waited for another minutes. Xiao Zhan frowned and decided to knock the door.
“Yibo, are you there?” He said loudly.
Now he could heard some voices inside and the door opened just a second later.
Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows, startled with the sudden movement. The door opened and there was Yibo standing with his disheveled hair and his tank top.
“ Ah You..” Yibo said while smiled nervously, looked past Xiao Zhan for a while and back to Xiao Zhan eyes a moment later.
“Umm yes I am, Xiao Zhan, umm did you forgot that you message me?” Xiao Zhan said it with a hint of teasing.
“.……..mn…” Yibo nodded and averted his eyes as soon as possible.
Xiao Zhan noted his gesture was a little bit weird right now but he didn’t said anything.
They stood there and seems like Yibo forgot to invited the guest inside, Xiao Zhan couldn’t help to stare at Yibo’s intently and he noticed Yibo’s hand gripping the door with a tight grip, disheveled hair and a layer of sweat on his forehead despite him wearing a tank top in this cold day. Now Xiao Zhan realized that Yibo was indeed weird today.
Yibo realized about this and hurriedly invited him.
“Come on” Yibo said and he stepped aside to make a way for Xiao Zhan.
Again Xiao Zhan noticed his nervous gesture, He nodded and went inside.
The room was bright, even too bright for his eyes.
“Wow… you got so many emergency lamps there Yibo?” He commented.
Yibo closed the door and didn’t said anything. Xiao Zhan sat on the sofa and looked around, he counted there was five emergency lamps on at the moment. ‘huh, these many?’ He said to himself.
Yibo sat on a chair beside him, playing with his hands.
“ What happen Yibo? IS there a problem?” Xiao Zhan asked.
“.……..……… no I am just……………” Yibo smiled again nervously.
“Are you sick? “
“No no I am okay………”
“Then what happen?” Xiao Zhan stared at him and noticed Yibo didn’t even saw him during this conversation.
Yibo unconsciously bites his lips and playing with his hands again, his eyes looked down.
Xiao Zhan titled his head to have a better look at him.
“Do you want me to cook for you?”
Froze, Yibo looked up and stared at Xiao Zhan confusedly.
“Well you see, food can calm your nerves”
Yibo opened his mouth to said something but then he sat still and didn’t said anything in the end.
“.……..mn………” he nodded
Xiao Zhan smiled at this, ‘cute’ he said to himself. ‘………….……… never mind’ he dismissed his thought and followed Yibo who was walked to the kitchen. He noted there were another 5 of emergency lamps there. ‘huh? Again?’
Yibo sat in one of the stool and stay there almost like an obedient child, ‘he looks like a puppy’, Xiao Zhan thought
“You like salmon? I can make one for you. Oh but do you have it?”
“Mn” He nodded
“Okay, well….you are welcome to sit there and watch me or you could wait at the other room.” he grinned widely
Yibo stared at Xiao Zhan and shook his head
‘hmm cute……….again?’ He blinked his eyes and decided to cook the salmon asap.
He was familiar with Yibo’s apartment, since he often spent his free time playing games here, even though this was his first time cooking for Yibo.
While he was busy preparing all, he saw Yibo was only sitting there still observing him and looking very nervous. He wondered why yibo looked so nervous today, he might as well asked about this later.
Several minutes later
“Tada..Roasted Salmon with Crispy Potatoes and Broccoli ” He grinned and put the plate in front of Yibo.
Yibo’s eyes widened, he then looked up to Xiao Zhan and smiled sweetly.
Xiao Zhan just stared at him, he couldn’t avert his eyes at all because Yibo’s smile was too sweet for him.
“Thank you Zhan Ge” he smiled some more, Xiao Zhan unconsciously followed suit.
Xiao Zhan only nodded his head several times while staring at his eyes.
“For you..for you” He said softly
Yibo heard it and nodded his head, then he started to eat.
Xiao Zhan saw Yibo bite his meal and noticed he closed his eyes, ‘such a long and beautiful eyelashes.’
“How? Is it good? Do you like it?”
Yibo opened his eyes and smiled again this time he could saw his beautiful teeth.
“Yes” He nodded and continued eating
Xiao Zhan smiled back at him and somehow feeling proud about this.
“I am glad you like it” He said
Yibo looked up from his eating and stared at Xiao Zhan for several moment
His disheveled hair, white milky skin, and those tiny and rosy lips caught his eyes right away.
He couldn’t help but looking at it inch by inch until he met Yibo’s eyes.
“Yes I like it……………I like……******………….very much” Yibo said with his serious face and those intense stare.
Xiao Zhan gulped down, somehow couldn't hear him clearly, suddenly feeling nervous he stared back at him and didn’t said anything. ‘ohh…..ohh’
“Umm….I have to go…ummm….I…….suddenly remember something haha…” He said nervously and turned his back to Yibo pretending to organize the kitchen tools before he turned back to Yibo and said goodbye.
“Bye, Yibo” He then run to the door ignoring Yibo, because somehow he didn’t want to know at all. He just need to stay away from Yibo right now.
“Xiao Zhan!” He heard Yibo shouted his name but he just ran, went in to the elevator and into his car.
He turned off his phone and decided to go back to his place and slept it away.
“Tomorrow, yeah just think about this tomorrow.” Xiao Zhan said to himself and closed his eyes.
