Love Me No More..

Why Can't You ?

A hectic day it is. That's what Xiao Zhan would say about his time on the set. A number of fight scenes, hanging from wires and shooting of some emotional scenes that he missed out on, the past few days. And Yibo pulling him to some corner, giving him a share of his snacks and leaving sneaky kisses on his face once in a while was what kept him going.

Now when he has returned and is walking up the hallway to get to his room- to get to Yibo waiting in their room, he meets Yan Xia on his way.

He hasn't had a proper conversation with her yet, has not spent quality time with her for days. The only few times he met, talked and spent time with her in these few months, were when they were shooting.

He really seems to have become ignorant after he met Yibo again.

"Xiao Ge..", the girl calls him, "it's been days since we have talked.."

Xiao Zhan stays numb for a while, he fiddles with his wrist watch, and eyes the time, he looks around subconsciously, his anxious self acting up without a notice.

"Yeah.. how are you Yan Xia?"

"I should be the one asking it.. don't you think?"

He covers it up with a short chuckle, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I have been busy, you have been busy.. so.."

"Oh! It's okay ah~ I'm fine now, do not worry."

Yan Xia nods and hunches up, "Can we talk?"

"Oh yeah, sure.", Xiao Zhan says plainly, praying within that it's not what he thinks it is, and acts as oblivious as possible.

The girl steps up and drags him towards her room. If not for the staffs and the people going on and about on the corridor in front of her room, they could have easily sneaked in and talk about whatever they wanted to. But she doesn't wanna call for attention as it seems. Xiao Zhan feels her tensing up, fidgeting within herself maybe, and whisper asks.

"What's wrong?"

Only if Yan Xia could tell. She ignores his query, her eyes widening as she comes to a realisation or, an idea maybe.

"Your room. Let's go to your room. There are people in here."

She pulls him along into the elevator with all her force even though Xiao Zhan appears to protest.

"But Yibo is in there!", He reasons when the elevator closes and gives them the slight bit of privacy.

"He didn't tell you?", She scoffs, "he went out with Yu Han and his team. Possibly to grab dinner."

Xiao Zhan is shocked. Yan Xia sounds cold, he has never seen her this way aside from when she is deep into the character she is playing.

Yan Xia is like a flower that only blooms brighter when sun shines upon her, provides colour when gloom surrounds her, smells sweet even if the garden is stinky. How can a simple sweet person as of her suddenly be so complicated? Like a rose that lures you in, only to hurt you with it's thorns?

Xiao Zhan gives it a thought. Will Yibo really hide this from him? Or did he just forget to inform him on the set? Or maybe..

Maybe he did inform. But Xiao Zhan didn't get?

Yeah. That must be it. He recognises his phone has been on silent since he entered the shooting place in the morning. He quickly takes his phone out and sees a bunch of notifications flock in his screen until his eyes catch Yibo's text message.

Yibo :
Going out with team to grab dinner.
It was kind of sudden, couldn't tell you
beforehand.
Want me to get something for you?
