My White Lotus (ZhanYi)

8: Flashback

Clothes of different kinds from casual wears to party wears found scattered on the floor of Yibo's room. He couldn't find out the best one out of his clothes even after searching for the past two hours. Nothing gave him a satisfaction. Either it would be too formal or it would be too casual. He wanted to look cool because the next day he is going to have a date with Zhan.

Yibo smiled to himself watching his reflection on the mirror as he tried another outfit. He couldn't believe the fact that he is going to have a real date with someone.

After the encounter with Zhan in his apartment, the latter didn't disturbed him any longer. That is when he realised the thing that how much he had missed that annoying guy.

For the past week, Yibo had expected to saw him somewhere but he didn't showed up. While working in the boutique, he expected for that tall man to come there out of no where and ask them to stitch a suit for him for no reason. While walking on the pavement he expected to saw a supercar that parked in a corner with a bunny man leaning onto it.

But none of these happened. For the past week, there wasn't any sign of the latter, like he had disappeared into thin air all of a sudden.

It was his day off and Yibo felt bored without doing anything special. He was sitting, walking, lying and again sitting, walking lying in his room. To much of his annoyance, he constantly remembered that annoying man too. After thinking much and contemplating, Yibo decided to do something. It was just a few hours ago, Yibo had picked up the card left by Zhan and dialled him.

To his astonishment, the call was picked up within the second ring and he was greeted with a sequel of the latter.

Before Yibo could ask how did Zhan recognised him, the latter told him that he looks very gorgeous in white. Indeed he was wearing a white T-shirt. Curiosity hit hard on Yibo as he looked around to spot the man somewhere inside his apartment. But that was not the case. He then went to the balcony and spotted Zhan standing at the other side of the road! He was looking at Yibo all the time through window of Yibo's room.

Zhan waved at him from the other side of the road and he couldn't contain the happiness. Yibo smiled ear to ear showing his gums. After talking a while, they decided to have a date on the next day as it would be a sunday and Yibo won't have to go for work.

That is the moment Yibo started to rummage through his wardrobe searching for the perfect outfit. After searching for a while, he regretted fixing the date in a rush. After all it's his first proper date. He have to look good for it.

Suddenly his eyes darted to a package on top of the wardrobe. Yibo slowly got up and took it. He unwrapped it while walking towards the bed.

There was a set of suit in navy blue, a brand new one, unused.
Yibo caressed it chuckling painfully.

He was supposed to wore them on his sister's wedding day...

It all started when Yibo was just a teenager. He was very cheerful and enthusiastic since childhood. Unlike his parents who were successful in the business field, he loved to be an architect but his sister was just like her parents; clever, courageous and full of business mind.

Nonetheless, she loved her brother so much. Though he was only two years younger, she treated him as a baby; literally becoming a second mother for him. She shared everything with him; books, toys, legos... even a single candy, they used to ate it together. She was mute since birth but Yibo spoke for both of them; he was her tongue.

Although rich, they couldn't find a way to cure her but technology helped a lot. She used Artificial intelligence devices to talk with outsiders. She have to only type in the phone and the device will spoke whatever she typed there. But with Yibo, she don't have to use that. He understands her very well without them.
