It has been a long day for Xiao Zhan, Acting here and Modeling there. His world is only circulating on media, Well what other he can do? it's his work and passion. He was busy these past few days it is not that he's not busy everytime but these few days are different than before.
After the 'Untamed' he acted up as Wei Wuxian blew up his career has become more shiny but not all the time. When that '227' incident came up his world became dark temporarily.
Despite his love for his career he even lowered his pride to apologized even though it was not his fault. He did it to protect his family, career, friends, his fans, and mostly his beloved didi Wang Yibo.
He tiredly laid on his couch while watching a movie it's 10 PM already still he can't sleep no matter what he do although his body is exhausted his mind is still energetic.
"Boring" he said when even the movie can't satisfy him. He whined, "arghh.. what will i do?!". Right now he knows to himself that he feels incomplete but don't know what kind of thing it is. I mean he can get anything he want especially this time he's so popular in whole China.
He grabbed the remote and changed the channel to a News. Finally something caught his attention let say someone. "Wang Yibo donated for Hunan his home land" the headline said while showing Wang Yibo helping carrying boxes of goods and you could see on tv screen that there are some men taking a pictures of him.
"Bodi..." Xiao Zhan suddenly blurted out. There's unknown thing piercing his heart seeing Yibo again. He turned off the TV and moved to his bedroom and laid on the couch. Since that issue happened he became silent from the media for awhile it took months.
During that months Xiao Zhan decided he should do something to protect his loved ones from threats. And to ignore and avoid Yibo is one of that.
While laying on his king size bed and staring up to his ceiling his thoughts begins to eat his whole mind, Xiao Zhan still remember how Yibo cares for him on set and on his private life even on his darkest time when Xiao Zhan temporarily isolated himself from media.
That time every morning and night Yibo didn't forget to send Xiao Zhan a messages even tho Xiao Zhan is not replaying. Yibo always motivates him to not give up and gave Xiao Zhan a reasons to continue but before Xiao Zhan will comeback to his career he messaged Wang Yibo to stop sending him a messages and He have to ignore Xiao Zhan public or private but Yibo is so stubborn.
Until Xiao Zhan was the one who ignored Wang Yibo in messages, calls, in awardings, even everytime their path interacts. And many months are like that without any communications between them public nor private.
"I miss Yibo's cares" Xiao Zhan said while smiling like a fool and after a seconds his smile faded away and his tears begins to roll down on his cheeks. Many minutes has passed Xiao Zhan didn't know when he drifted into dreamland.

Xiao Zhan wakes up because of his alarm clock. Today is his rest day after a full schedules everyday. He sits up and brush his swollen eyes. He gets up and did his daily morning routine, After he cooked his own breakfast he sits on his couch when he is about to reach the remote to open the TV He saw a book in the side. He didn't hesitate to grab it.
"Mo Dao Zu Shi" Xiao Zhan reads the title of the book after a second of thoughts, "ah yeah right i bought this book before" he said to himself.
Xiao Zhan bought that book because of curiosity but he always forgot to read it due of lack of time and sometimes he is busy to memorize a script.
He forgot about the TV. Xiao Zhan back to his sit and open the book to the first chapter. "Let see, why many fans of this book are so obsessed to this novel" He begins to read the contexts.
It is not that he didn't know that "The Untamed" was based on this book but Xiao Zhan is kinda curious about that extra chapters.
While he peacefully reading, his phone suddenly rang. Xiao Zhan checked it out it is a message from one of the Directors of the Untamed it's Director Zheng Weiwen.
From : Director Zheng
Hi Xiao Zhan, We inviting you to eat dinner with us 'The Untamed' casts. At XXXX Restaurant 8PM. Hope you can join us! we miss you alot.
"What? The Untamed casts?! so it means Yibo will be there?" he asked himself, Xiao Zhan feels nervous and his cheeks burning as hell.
"Should i make an excuse? Oh damn! i don't have a courage to face Yibo!" He whined.
Before he could reply Director Zheng and make some excuses. Xiao Zhan received another message from him.
From : Director Zheng
Don't worry Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo can't join us tonight. Yibo said he's busy this whole day and maybe tired after. So, Can you make it?
Xiao Zhan sighed in relief, His heart finally calmed abit. Yes, Everyone knows Xiao Zhan ignoring Wang Yibo, so why they respect Xiao Zhan's decision everytime they arranged a dinner and Xiao Zhan can't attend because of Wang Yibo. They knew too that everytime Wang Yibo is there Xiao Zhan will make an excuses to avoid Yibo.
Since Xiao Zhan knows it is been a long time since his last bond with them and Wang Yibo will not going. So, He thinks that it is okay to join them this time.
To : Director Zheng

After He replied him, Xiao Zhan continued to read the novel. He realized that the novel is so detailed about the plot than to the script. He finds it interesting and amusing.

Time has passed, it's already 7 PM and Xiao Zhan is ready to go. He wears his simple white shirt and black jeans because he don't want to attract people's attention and put some silver necklace and let his bangs down.
Ofcourse because of his popularity Xiao Zhan didn't forget to wear a disguise he put his black glasses on, mask, and cap. He didn't use his car too because he knows everyone knew his car looklike and then they will secretly follow him. Xiao Zhan just needs privacy right now. He rent a Taxi that can drive him to the said restaurant and can wait for him.
"Mister, do you know other route?" Xiao Zhan impatiently asked, they're stuck almost 40 mins it's 7:48 PM and still far to that restaurant.
"Sir im sorry for the trouble but i don't know any other route. that restaurant is owned by an artist and a private it has only one route to the XXXX Restaurant" the driver explained.
Xiao Zhan can't help but to helplessly leaned on the sit. It's sunday so why there's alot vehicles right now. If he only knows that they'll gonna stucked in a traffic, he'll go early.
To : Director Zheng
Good evening Director Zheng, im kinda be late this time we're in stuck. you guys can start to eat dinner, im really sorry.
Xiao Zhan sighed and put his phone back on his pocket but after a minutes his phone vibrated, he took it again.

After Xiao Zhan reads it, the car start to move.

8:16 PM
Xiao Zhan arrived at the restaurant 16 mins late. He asked the driver if he ate dinner already and the driver say yes. Xiao Zhan wear off his disguise things the driver got shocked 'coz he don't have idea that his passenger is an artist not only a simple artist but a super duper famous artist! plus, he is so handsome looks unreal!
"Please mister don't tell anyone about this, im begging you!" Xiao Zhan pleased. The driver nodded vigorously.
"Wait me here mister and can i leave these things here? i'll be back later" Xiao Zhan hurriedly came down from the taxi without waiting for the driver's answer. Since he already rent his taxi.
The restaurant is so pretty there's a lot of decorations it is looks like a party. This restaurant is in the middle of the woods so Xiao Zhan comfortably walk to the door
Before he can open it he could hear the laughing and chatting inside. This made him more excited to come inside.
Xiao Zhan opens the door and everyone inside was stopped and look at the person at the door. After a seconds they realized it's Xiao Zhan and everyone cheerfully said "XIAO ZHAAAAN!!!" in unison, Yubin was the first one who came over to Xiao Zhan and excitedly hugs Xiao Zhan, it makes Xiao Zhan flattered!
"Xiao Zhan we missed you alot!" Yubin exaggerated said and breaks the hug immediately 'coz he feels threaten from somewhere.
"Yubin ah it just a months" Xiao Zhan smiled and wave his hands to the other casts which is they smiled sweetly and wave their hands back at Xiao Zhan, He didn't noticed Wang Yibo is there leaning at the wall while his arms are crossed.
"I know right, come sit here Zhan" Yubin guide him to the two vacant sit the one is for Xiao Zhan and Yubin. After Xiao Zhan sitted Yubin is about to sit but someone stops him.
Xiao Zhan is busy chattering with other casts. And shyly answered their "How are yous" and "we missed you alot" it is kinda awkward for Xiao Zhan because it's really been a long time when they last chatting like this.
Yubin has no other choice but to sits beside Liu Haikuan that sit supposed for Yibo's sit. Everyone noticed that and they're all shocked seeing Wang Yibo sits beside Xiao Zhan while Xiao Zhan is so naive and didn't noticed that. But Everyone except Xiao Zhan pretends that this is not happening. Wang Yibo can't help but to stare at his gege while his right hand props under his chin.
"I missed you alot Zhan-ge. I know you avoiding for that issue but not anymore. I know you won't come if you knew that im here. So, I had to lied."
Wang Yibo stopping himself not to hug this gege because he noticed that Xiao Zhan is more attractive on his white plain shirt and with his bangs down. Just like that Wang Yibo don't care about others right now because his all attentions, mind and heart are now on Xiao Zhan, only.
"Zhan, you can visit here sometimes" Ji Li suggested.
They are now eating their dinner and still Xiao Zhan is such a fool he don't have idea that Wang Yibo is silently eating beside him. He thought it was Yubin. Xiao Zhan didn't know Yubin is on another table with Haikuan, Haoxuan, Zanjin, Bowen.
"Really? is this restaurant yours?" Xiao Zhan unbelievably asked
"Nope, but my parents" Ji Li simply answered and drinks a water.
Xiao Zhan is with Jili, Zhoucheng, Fanxing, and Yibo which is he thought it was Yubin.
"Good idea Jili, Xiao laoshi you can bring here your girlfriend~" Zhoucheng teased, Xiao Zhan laugh while shaking his head
"don't worry mommy zhan this restaurant is private no one will knows that you're dating with someone~" Fanxing teased too, Xiao Zhan is laughing more. While Yibo no one can read his expressions
"Aiya! Fanxing you still calling me a mommy? your daddy Yibo is not here and The Untamed was finished airing right?" Xiao Zhan smiles
"And you guys too, im so busy with my career i don't have time for that" Xiao Zhan added and four of them laughed. Not only because of what Fanxing said but how dumb Xiao Zhan is.
They're done eating and now they're talking and laughing especially when Ji Li jokes. Xiao Zhan noticed that Yubin is so silent and didn't vibing with them.
"Hey Yubin-" Xiao Zhan didn't finished his sentence when he realized that it was not Yubin it's Wang Yibo!
Wang Yibo smirked, and look directly to Xiao Zhan's eyes. Finally Xiao Zhan noticed him.
"I missed you Zhan-ge."
