8. Tension

After all those crying and counseling Wuxie was wasted. He went back to his home and slept like a dog on the floor. Sadly, his insecurities clouded his senses, and couldn't get a chance to listen to Zhang's response. What would be his response?

•~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•

The next morning wuxie got up early as he slept around 8 pm. It was a good sleep and he was all charged. After taking a bath and wearing his favorite white shirt and black jeans, he was ready for meeting Zhang. It's still early so Wuxie decided to break into his home. He was fixing his hair, just like he did when he saw Zhang for the first time here. He clearly remembers the reaction of Zhang. He was amazed. You are going to be amazed again. Xiao ge. Wuxie was so happy that he started to hum. He looked at the mirror and smile.

"Go for it wuxie. There is no reason for him to reject such a handsome face."

He was about to open the door but the doorbell rang. He startled and withdrew his hands from the lock.

Who is it? It's still so early. Huh!?

He covered his mouth with both of his hands, eyes wide. He thought..

Oh my God. Is it Xiao ge? He may come to... Huh!

Wuxie fixed his shirt, the collar, and also his hair. The one on the other side had already lost patience and he started pressing the doorbell button vigorously. Wuxie put the best smile on his face and slowly opened the door.

"Xiao....

what the.

Pangzi...."

The man behind doors was none other Wang pangzi. He had a worried face. And as soon as wuxie opened the door a rage took dominance in his face. He grabbed wuxie's forearms. And shouted at his face.

"SO YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.. IF YOU ARE THEN PICK YOUR DAMN PHONE WHEN SOMEONE IS CALLING."

Wuxie was shocked at the sudden change of atmosphere. Why he is so angry. Wait! Did he thought...

"Pangzi. You thought I did something stupid. Hahaha... Pangzi. Don't worry about that. I'm not a coward. I have a long and bright future, of course with my Xiao ge.
But. Why did you even call me?"

Wuxie looked for his phone in his pocket. It wasn't there. Then only he realized his phone was missing for almost two days.

"Pangzi.. My phone is missing. I think I didn't see it from yesterday. Maybe I lost it... In Xiao ge's studio."

"What!? It's okay. That's not important. You come with me."

Pangzi grabbed Wuxie's hand and pulled out of his house. But wuxie refused to go.

"Wait. Pangzi. I can't. I have to go see him. And now I can get my phone back too."

Wuxie stepped back. But his legs hit a box that was on the floor.

"What's that Wuxie? Did you order something?"

"No i... Didn't"

Wuxie picked up the box. And opened it.

"It's my phone. Look. So Xiao ge!?"

"He sent this?"

"I think he put it here by himself."

Wuxie couldn't process it. He looked at his phone. And the black screen reflected how sad he is. His eyes, wet. He lowered his head, said nothing. Why would he drop this when he can just give it to me straight? What does that mean? He doesn't wanna see me.

Pangzi looked at him. Something was bugging him already and now seeing wuxie getting upset by this... pangzi closed his eyes and he pulled wuxie to a hug. Wuxie' had lost all his strength and dropped the box. When it dropped to the floor a piece of paper was visible in it. It was pangzi who saw it first. He bends down to pick the piece of paper. There was something written on it. He read it.

"Wuxie. It's not him."

"Huh!?" Wuxie snatched it from pangzi.

"You forgot this yesterday at the studio. We had an outdoor shoot so only saw it at the noon. Chief didn't come back with me. That's why I'm returning it. - Lui Sang"

Wuxie smiled. It was a relief to know that it was Zhang who sent it. It means he still has hope.

"Pangzi.. My life was in the hang tight now. God knows what were I thinking. Now I realize something. Jumping to conclusions is very dangerous. Oho.. I'm getting shocked minute by minute."

"Are you done? Now let's move."

Pangzi somehow wasn't interested in Wuxie's chit chat. He came here to take wuxie to the office.

"Pangzi it's early. I want to see him first in the morning. Then I will come to work. It's not like we got something to work on."

"We have something and it's an emergency. Trust me you are gonna regret each second you waste."

That was new coming from pangzi. He is a person who finds every chance to slack off. But seeing him this serious. Whatever the new lead is it's a big deal. So wuxie didn't argue anymore. He followed pangzi. Pangzi came in his car and Wuxie rode along with him.

When both reached their office. Both Xiao Hua and Black glasses were present. They both looked at Wuxie as he entered. Wuxie could feel something was off. But couldn't guess what.

Wuxie: So what's the new lead?

Xiao Hua: You didn't tell him?

Pangzi: I didn't

Hei'er: Pangzi. You..

Pangzi: I.. I didn't get a chance.

Hei'er: Then tell him now.

Pangzi glared at him. For some reason, none of them wanted to be the one to break the news. They stared at each other and Wuxie repeatedly. Wuxie was also confused.

Hei'er: Hua'er you are the strong one among us. You tell him.

Xiao hua was standing his arms crossed. When Black glasses asked him to be the one, he hesitated but then he walked towards wuxie. He put his hands down and looked at wuxie who still didn't have a clue about what's happening.

"Wuxie"

"Xiao Hua. What's with all these tensions? Just tell me already."

"Come here. I have to show you something."

Xiao hua led him to his computer. He opened a video file.
