Yanfei had noticed that Xingqiu was down. She had noticed it about a month ago.

Him being an idol and all, he tried to hide it. He was good at it too. But with Yanfei being his manager ever since he debuted, she could tell.

Today was the day she would confront him about it. She had been keeping it down, ignoring it because she knew Xingqiu could probably handle it. But it's been going on for too long now. Yanfei was getting worried.

"Xingqiu?" She knocked on the door to his apartment.

A faint "come in" came from inside, giving her permission to enter.

Opening the door, she took a breath and then breathed out.

"Xingqiu. Please tell me what's going on. You've been sulking for a month now. You may not know it, but I can tell. I'm beginning to get worried. Xingqiu I'm your manager and friend. Please tell me what's going on."

The golden eyed boy looked up from his book as she spoke, sitting up and placing it on the side table.

He looked down.

"Come here then. If you really want to know..." he said and patted the space beside him.

Yanfei sat down, wrapping an arm around him and laying her head in his shoulder.

They had been friends every since they were young. They had met at a family gathering since Yanfei's family was also very wealthy. They were the only kids there and, kids being kids, went off to get into trouble.

Xingqiu sighed.

"It's Chongyun... He hasn't been responding to any of my texts for a while. He said his parents were strict, maybe they have something to do with it... But I'm worried about him." Yanfei could tell he was thinking something different while he spoke.

Maybe Chongyun had ghosted him. Xingqiu had already gone through something like this  once before. It had hurt him so bad it started to effect everyone around him.

Not only had his ex done damage to everyone, but Xingqiu's sadness after the break up worsened the pain.

Yanfei had only met Chongyun once. And in that time, he hadn't really talked to her. He seemed really shy and non talkative.

The pink haired girl sighed, squeezing Xingqiu.

"Look, I've only met him once and I can tell that he wouldn't ghost you. And you know how skeptical I am about him whenever you bring that boy up. We'll figure this out. I'll even get Ganyu to help, you know how she is." Yanfei reassured him.

Xingqiu had a small smile on his face and shoved his head into her shoulder.

"What would I do without you?" He breathed and pulled away.

"Not much." Yanfei smiled, earning a smile back from Xingqiu.

"Okay. What do you know about Chongyun and his parents?" She said, her face going serious.

"Well, he never told me much, but from what I do know, his parents are really, really strict. They confiscate his phone, he has to ask for permission before he goes anywhere. He's 17..."

Yanfei was taking mental notes. She had to know as much as she could about him before she could do anything.

"He's really shy, as you could probably tell, I think his parents didn't want him to know about anything remotely sexual because-"

"Please skip that part." Yanfei said. She didn't need to know anything about Xingqiu's sex life. It wasn't her problem nor was she curious.

The boy laughed. "Okay then. He's self conscious of his body... He tried to hide it but I saw... He's not really used to physical touch. Always super cuddly... That's pretty much all I know. There might be a few things I'm missing though."

"Hmm... Okay. I'm going to see what I can do." She said.

Maybe she could get Ganyu to help with the tech-y stuff. She had a plan.

"Please tell me if anything happens. I'm busy with that idol from Inazuma right now and I can't get out of it." Xingqiu pleaded. Yanfei gave a smile in return.

They hugged and Yanfei left, Xingqiu going back to his work.

As the door shut, Yanfei's face fell from her happy smile into a serious glare.

She immediately called Ganyu, telling her she'd be coming over shortly.

A car was already waiting in front of the building, ready to take her to her destination.

"Go to Ganyu's." Yanfei said simply, sliding into the back of the black car.

The driver nodded and pulled away from the curb.

-

About 15 minutes later, the car pulled to a stop and let Yanfei out. She said a quick thank you before stepping off and started walking to the high-end building.

After waiting for the elevator to get to the top floor, Yanfei made her way to Ganyu's door and knocked on it twice.

The blue-purple haired girl opened the door, letting Yanfei inside.

They sat down at the small dining table, Ganyu making some tea before the conversation got serious.

"So, Yanfei, how are you doing?" She asked, pouring the boiling water into two mugs.

"I'm doing okay. How have you been? Working overtime when you know you don't have to?"

Ganyu laughed at that. "You know me so well."

"Oh right! How's your girlfriend doing?" Yanfei asked. Ganyu had a secret relationship with a girl. They had to keep it under wraps because of the girl's father.

"Keqing is doing good! She went to dinner with some boy a while ago. Apparently he wasn't interested." Ganyu gushed, sitting down and sliding a mug of tea to Yanfei. She always got this way when talking about her girlfriend. They were in love, you could tell.

"Okay, so what's up?" She asked suddenly, snapping out of her moment.

Yanfei took a breath.

"It's about Xingqiu. You know how he's been down lately, so I went to see him. It's about the new kid. Chongyun is his name. He hasn't been responding to any of Xingqiu's texts or calls and he's getting worried."

"Do you think he ghosted him?" Ganyu asked, listening intently.

"Actually, no. I don't. Xingqiu mentioned that Chongyun had super strict parents. And from what I heard, he's a little touch starved. Can you do your tech-y stuff and try to get more information on him? Like friends so we can contact them?" Yanfei asked. She knew nothing about hacking and technology, she was just good with words, the law, and makeup.

Ganyu giggled. "I'll do my best."
