SUGAR DADDY (ZHANYI) - COMPLETED

Twenty

The takes of the scene in making the advertisement to promote the brand went smoothly. With Xiao Zhan around him, Yi Bo was able to overcome his anxiety. Xiao Zhan always soothe his uneasiness away.

"Wrap up for this version!" The director shouted which followed by the cheers from the crew.

Yi Bo took a deep relief breath. Together with the other crew, he packed up.

"Hey, Xiao Zhan!" The director shouted.

Yi Bo looked at the director who approaching Xiao Zhan who was talking with one of the crew. He saw them talking. From how their gesture and facial, Yi Bo was sure that they involved in a serious conversation. A few times he caught that the director is pointing at him. Yi Bo turned away and continued packing when they turned their attention to his direction, but he still watching them through the corner of his eyes.

"Heyy, Bro! You did a good job!" The crew he was packing with, speaks.

Yi Bo glanced at him and offered him an awkward smile.

"You're so young and talented. You're also extremely charming. It will be easy for Xiao Zhan to do the intimate scenes with you...!" That guy chuckled.

Yi Bo glared at the guy but he didn't say a thing.

"People say, you are new in this business, right?" Asked the guy, begins to annoy Yi Bo.

Yi Bo only nodded and continue packing.

"I heard too, Xiao Zhan has picked you to endorse the product. Whoaa... You're must be a honey to him, Bro! He often refuse the offers to be one of the ambassadors of the label since he had the child. It's the first time he throws his legs back to be a model for the endorsement...!" Ranted the guy.

And Yi Bo really feels annoyed now. So, he got up and carried his stuff. He turned around and walked away.

"Heh! The boy with a few words...." Grumbled the guy, looking ay Yi Bo who walks away. "No words..." He corrected his judgement. Then he continued packing.

Yi Bo approached Xiao Zhan when the director walked away.

"What did he say?" Asked Yi Bo.

Xiao Zhan turned to the boy, then he smiled.

"He said, I'm the one who can calm your anxiety. So, for the upcoming shoot, I have to do the same at you...!" Said Xiao Zhan.

Yi Bo raised his brows and curt a nod.

"Xiao Zhan! Phone call from your wife!" A woman, Xiao Zhan's assistant in the shoot came and gives him his  cellphone.

"Oh!" Xiao Zhan took the cellphone. He turned back to Yi Bo then said, "Let me receive this first. It must be important if Xi Lin calls me in the shoot....!"

Yi Bo didn't respond. He only looks at the man who walking away without him to agree first. Yi Bo gritted his teeth. Without telling Xiao Zhan, he turned around and walked off to where the crew parked their vehicles.

The sky was dark, only a few stars embellished that sometimes hid behind the grey cloud that crawling over before it leaves them to the other side. The area used for the shooting was a deserted area, outskirt of the city. It was hot during the day and turns cold when night covered.

Yi Bo leaned on a van, waiting for the other crew from Xiao Zhan's agency get the packing done.

"Baby Boy! Are you going home or you want to drop in the agency first?" Asked Vogue.

Yi Bo cleared his throat before he answered.

"Umm.... I...." He was hesitant to give Vogue the answer. He glanced at his wristwatch. 10.50 PM. It's late already if he comes back to the agency. Anyway, he expected Xiao Zhan will give him a lift and drop him home.

"Guys!" Xiao Zhan came approaches them.

The crew turned to him.

"I won't settle things in the agency. You go without me. Xi Lin told me that A Xiang got a fever. I need to rush home...!" Informed Xiao Zhan.

Then he turned to Yi Bo who already has his face sour.

"Umm... Mochi! You better go with them. Guys, drop him straight away at his house. We have ruined this baby's curfew already...!" Said Xiao Zhan with the mean to joke around.

But it didn't sound so to YiI Bo. He took it as a mockery. How dare Xiao Zhan call him a kid after he fucked him so many times?

The crew laughed at Xiao Zhan's joke, except Yi Bo. His face turned red, not because he's blushing, but he was angry, instead. Xiao Zhan smiled at him and was about to tousle his hair, but Yi Bo quickly avoid it and enters the van before the others.

Xiao Zhan was a little taken aback with the boy's behavior. But he didn't take it to his mind. He assumed that the boy was too tired since it's his first long shoot for the big label which brings him an anxiety that he has to control. So, he only shrugged it off. After he bid goodbye to the crew, he went to his car and drives home alone.

Yi Bo seemed to be quieter along the journey to his house. He ignored the jokes from the crew. He even ignored their questions. His mind wasn't with them in the van, but with a man that left him with those clowns, that's what he call the crew that night, out of his anger.

Until the van drops him in front of his house, Yi Bo didn't say a word. Even the crew say goodbye, Yi Bo didn't reply them. He walked to his house and entered.

When he enters, the lights in the living room turned on even before he touches the switch. And it surprised him.

"Where have you been?" A voice that sound familiar hit his eardrums.

"Jie!" Cried Yi Bo when he saw his sister was standing near the staircase, crossed her arms on her chest.

"When did you arrive? Why never inform me beforehand?" Asked Yi Bo.

For a moment he forgot about his grumpiness over jealousy toward Xiao Zhan. He approached the woman and hugged her after he dropped his haversack on the floor.

"I have dropped a text message for you on your email yesterday night!" Said Yi Li. She pushed his brother away from the hug.

"Oh? Really? I never open my email these few days...".  Yi Bo mumbled. He walked to the couch and throws himself on it.

Yi Li sat next to him.

"I asked Richard, and he told me that you're now working as a freelance model. Is it true?" Asked Yi Li.

Yi Bo looked at the woman for a while. He didn't promptly answer.

"I have signed the contract with a world's renown label yesterday. So, I’m not a freelance model anymore...!" Said Yi Bo.

"A baby like you suddenly got a contract with a big label? Haha.... You must kidding me, Bo!" Yi Li laughed. He slapped Yi Bo's thigh.

Yi Bo frowned.

"I'm serious, Jie!" Scowled Yi Bo.

"Oh yeah? How did you get to the top in an instant, Bo?" Asked Yi Li, still laughing.

"Someone who has influence in the modeling industry has promoted me to them...!" Answered Yi Bo.

Yi Li stopped laughing. She looked at his brother.

"Who is he? She?" Asked Yi Li.

"You know him!" Replied Yi Bo.

"I do? Who?" Asked Yi Li again.

"My tutor... Ex tutor's husband!" Answered Yi Bo.

Yi Li gasped. Her hand clutched on her chest.

"Do you mean.... Yang Xi Lin's husband? Xiao.... Xiao...." Yi Li stuttered.

"Xiao Zhan!" Yi Bo scowled.

"Yeah! I knew him! I knew about his kick in the industry a few years back. I was his fan back then...!" Said Yi Li.

"Do you?" Yi Bo frowned.

"Yeah! A fan! Only a fan! I don't expect him to be my lover. He's out of my league...!" Yi Li giggled.

"Oh yeah.... Of course! You can't expect more....!" Yi Bo rolled his eyes.

Yi Li slapped his thigh harder, makes Yi Bo screamed.

"What was that for?" Cried Yi Bo.

"Do you mean to say that I don't deserve him?" Snapped his sister.

"Yes!" Replied Yi Bo. Then he got up.

Yi Li slapped Yi Bo's butt. Yi Bo picked up his haversack and climbed on the stairs to get to his room.

Yi Li watched him disappeared behind the door, then she seems to think of something.

He looks gloomy and grumpy. I didn't see his smile at all. Is it his work? Or something else? He supposed to share his news in joy. But he seems to not so happy....

Yi Li waved her hands, doesn't want to think about it too much. She got up and also goes to her room.

*****

Xiao Zhan came to the set in the agency earlier today. His face looked tired. His shirt was crumpled and looks unfresh. He didn't even bothered about the tie that only hangs around his neck.

"Oh, my my....! Xiao Zhan! How can you take the shoot with face full of shit like that?" Cried Rogue who bumps into him in the hallway.

"Ooh, shut up, Rogue! The make up can do its magic on me....!" Replied Xiao Zhan, pushing Rogue out of his way. Then he continued walking to his office.

In front of his office door he met Hai Kuan.

"What happened? Where did you sleep last night?" Asked Hai Kuan when he saw Xiao Zhan still in the same attires as yesterday.

"I slept in the hospital. A Xiang is sick. She wants me to accompany her...!" Replied Xiao Zhan. Then he entered the office, follows by Hai Kuan.

"You're doomed, Zhan!" Hai Kuan chuckled. "You have to bear a responsible for the mistake your grandpa did in the past....!" He continued.

Xiao Zhan glanced at Hai Kuan and smirked.

"Anyway, he's gone now. He has no control on me at all...!" Replied Xiao Zhan. He slammed his butt on the chair.

Hai Kuan sat in front if him. He watched Xiao Zhan's face who throws his head on the backrest and closed his eyes.

"Actually what happened to your grandpa,. Zhan?" Asked Hai Kuan, curious.

"Hai Kuan...." Xiao Zhan mumbled without opening his eyes. "That's a long time ago. It's been three years. He’s dead because his heart stopped working. He had a heart problem. Remember?" Then he opened his eyes and lifted his head. He looked at Hai Kuan with tired eyes.

Hai Kuan was suspecting something about Xiao Zhan's grandpa’s death. But he didn't want to dig out about it too deep. He was afraid if he is wrong presuming about the case. So, he only bobbed his head.

"Yeah.... You're right..." He muttered.

"Is my Baby Boy around?" Asked Xiao Zhan. He chuckled.

Hai Kuan looked at Xiao Zhan with apologetic eyes.

"Zhan... He's still a child. Stop doing this. You can get trouble by keep doing this!" Hai Kuan warned him.

"Hey, Hai Kuan. I like him, ok? And he likes me so much. We did it based on  mutual feelings and he didn't complain. What are you afraid of? He'll reach his legal age soon, anyway...!" Said Xiao Zhan.

"It's still not right, Zhan. And you have a wife. Do you want to ruin your marriage and your image? Your family doesn't know yof you are gay, right? Except your grandpa!" Said Hai Kuan.

Xiao Zhan scowled. He waved his hand.

"Come on, Hai Kuan...! You're not my father...! Anyway, my family is in China. And the relatives here won't even care if I gay, bi or pan. They only care about the money I make and waiting for me to share with them....!" Scowled Xiao Zhan.

"I Just want you to be wise, Zhan...! You're mature enough to be one. You’re not young anymore....!" Commented Hai Kuan.

"Haiiyaa....!" Xiao Zhan grumbled. He got up from his chair and walked to the door.

"Where are you going?" Asked Hai Kuan, turned around on his chair.

"Getting my Baby Boy. I need to bring him to check in. I need a good fuck. And he seemed angry last night when I left him in the set. Fucking him might make him feesl better....!' replied Xiao Zhan. He smirked at Hai Kuan.

Xiao Zhan opened the door and exited the room. Hai Kuan only sighed watching the door that slowly closing. He rubbed his temple in frustration watching his bestfriend's behavior which gone wilder since the certain teenage boy entering his life.
