Chapter 6
Their life as an actor-manager continues however something has changed, Wang Yibo is not clingy as he used to be after that variety show, he no longer calls Xiao Zhan when he’s going to a club, so Zhan always wait him on his unit or outside and cook some food in the morning, and this makes Xiao Zhan worried, thankfully there is no scandal up until now.
Yibo talks to him from time to time, but he is not talkative as he used to be, and this makes Xiao Zhan a little bit sad as well. He treats him as a younger brother already and he’s an only child, so he’s really worried about Yibo and it is his job to take care of him.
At some point, he stopped cooking breakfast and just ask Yibo if he’s going to eat at home since now a day he spent eating on set or he just eat on the hotel after going to a club, of course these foods on set are made by Xiao Zhan as well but still different to eat at home.
“Hey Wang Yibo, sup?” Haoxuan asked, currently they are on their usual bar.
“Don’t talk to him, he’s in a bad mood lately” Seoungyoun said.
“Why? And where’s Zhan-ge? He usually happily sips his orange juice on the counter?” Haoxuan asked.
“Hahaha funny that I asked the same thing last time, you know Yibo what did you do this time? The last time I saw your manager at the agency he looked down and haggard?” Seoungyoun asked.
“He’s trending on weibo lately because of that show, does he know? He doesn’t have a weibo right? Zhan-ge is old fashioned haha” Haoxuan said.
“I’m not doing anything; he should be grateful that I lessen his work lately.” Yibo madly said and thought why everyone thinks that he is the bad one here, where in fact it is Xiao Zhan who betrayed him. Well, not necessarily betrayed but he still sulking that he chose to be with his childhood friend. He also misses eating at home, but his pride is high too. He just ignored Xiao Zhan.
As quick witted as he is, Seoungyoun noticed this once he watched that episode in variety show, he really thinks that his friend is childish, and Xiao Zhan always ask him if he is with Yibo and asked him to take care of him since Zhan did not receive any message from Yibo.
“Did you inform Zhan-ge that you are hanging out with us tonight?” Seoungyoun asked.
“Of course not, he’s not my parent and he doesn’t care about me we are in a business relationship only, see he can rest early” Yibo sarcastically said.
“Bo, by the looks of it, you look like a child who doesn’t get any attention from their parents hahaha” Haoxuan teased him.
“Shut up Haoxuan” Yibo glared at him.
“Chill guys, hahaha but Yibo you should still inform him like what you mentioned he is your manager and you used to call him whenever you go, don’t you think your older bro/manager will be worried at you?” Seounyoun explained.
“He’s not my older brother! And he doesn’t even look that old, he looks young by his age!” Yibo said while clenching on his drinks.
“Hahaha okay okay he’s just your precious Zhan-ge, I’m not sure if you are angry at him or just simping him, but you know, he’s always waiting outside near the bar or just to make sure that you are okay.” Seoungyoun calmly said.
“That’s impossible I know what our car looks like and haven’t seen one.”
“Of course, he’s not in a car” Seoungyoun reached his pocket to get a hangover drink that you can usually buy on a convenience store and place it in front of Yibo.
“Again, this? What’s with you nowadays” Yibo said.
“Aiyoo, Wang Yibo for someone who can remember every motorcycle in the world you are dumb. He wanted to give you this since you are using your motorcycle.”
Yibo was dumbfounded as the realization hit him and asked, “Where is he?!”
“Maybe on the cafe across the street”
Yibo hurriedly grabbed his coat and went outside the bar.
While waiting for Yibo in a cafe, Xiao Zhan is creating some designs to still practice his skill, again originally, he’s a graphic designer. The owner decided to always reserve this spot for him, it is owned by an old couple and he’s also the one who designed for their logo as his first client. He’s a usual customer here even before working as a manager and the old couple really adores him so they always reserve a spot for him so even the staff knows him.
He created a racing track suit design for Yibo, he’s planning to give this as a farewell gift if their agency approved his transfer to another artist or admin as he reaches the three years contract as Yibo’s manager, if not he’ll just resign and work as a graphic artist again. He hasn’t received any message from Seoungyoun that they left the bar.
Someone grabs his arms hard and shocked by the man. “Hey, what are you doing here” Xiao Zhan said hurriedly. There were some customers at the cafe even though it is almost midnight and most of them are teenagers so he’s cautious that someone might have noticed them. But Yibo didn’t answer him and dragged him outside while grabbing his manager’s bag by his other hand and drove away using his motorbike.
Yibo drags him on to the nearest Lan Hotel in the area so there’s no need to check in. In every branch of his brother’s hotel, he has the same card key for convenience, it was given to him by his brother and only him and his brother can access it by additional fingerprint lock. So, they would know if someone tried to open the door aside from them.
“Why are you following me?” Yibo quickly asked Xiao Zhan once they had reached the room.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to invade your privacy. I’m just worried since I haven’t received any updates from you.” Xiao Zhan shyly said, he’s a bit embarrassed since his cover got blown. “But it is your fault as well you should have informed me!” He said while looking at Yibo.
Yibo just smiles, and this really makes him happy. He walks in front of Xiao Zhan and closes the distance between them and caging his manager to the wall. Xiao Zhan could smell the alcohol on him, and asked how much he drank.
“Just a little Zhan-ge,” but he’s a little bit tipsy and his heart flutters by looking at his embarrassed manager, so he leans his head on his manager’s shoulder and whispers in his ear.
“I can say it’s not little, you have high alcohol tolerance, but you look like a drunkard.” Zhan said with a flushed face, he is used how Yibo is clingy and leaning on his shoulder, but he cannot use it whenever he whispers in his ear.
“Don’t fall asleep on my shoulder and let’s go to bed ‘gou zai zai.'” Xiao Zhan said as he tapped the back of this 23 years old actor who’s currently snuggling on his neck and thought he’s going to miss this.
“Mnn” Yibo answered and thought he really missed this smell.
