My Only Love

chapter 9

Xiao zhan stares at his reflection again, then he flinches.. the lower left side of his lips has red bruise on it, it's no longer swollen but the red mark looks like an ant bit on it, his neck also has some red mark on either sides.. he even saw a bite mark on the lower part of his neck but it's almost fading.. he sighed, good thing it's a bit cold today, he decided to wear a turtle neck shirt and a shorts. He brushed his hair then headed out of the house. He opened his shop earlier today it's only 7 am in the morning. he's trying to avoid Yibo.. but how is it possible they are stuck in his house because of the quarantine. He just hopes Yibo stays inside, he still cooked breakfast for him and leaves it in the microwave. There are 3 guys sitting inside his shop they are bike drivers because he also makes some deliveries.. because he also sells fruit shakes and coffee aside from his pastries.

Yibo woke up late it's already 9 am.  But he didn't get up immediately.. he lingers on the bed some more, and daydream about the kiss that happened last night.. "how will I approach him, for sure he'll avoid me today.." he sighed then sat on his bed. Planning his next move. Yibo o decided to take a bath first, then he ate the breakfast that Xiao zhan left for him.. after he ate he washed the dishes then gathered all his things laptop and paper works then headed out of the house.

"Good morning!!"

Xiao zhan got startled but he did not raise his head from designing the cake in front of him. "Hmm.."

Yibo then walked to the table beside the door. Then settled all his things on the table.

"What do you think you're doing?" Xiao zhan finally looked at him.

"I'll work here."

"Why?"

"The wifi connection here is good"

"We have wifi inside.."

"I know.. but it's nice to work while looking outside, and I can also smell delicious desserts here"

Xiao zhan rolled his eyes on him. "suit yourself!"

Yibo sat facing the counter while Xiao zhan is busy decorating his cupcakes. While tapping at his laptop he looks at Xiao zhan every now and then.. making the other guy conscious.. "can you stop looking here!! " Xiao zhan snapped at him.

Yibo just chuckled at him, when a car stopped in front of the shop.. Then Zhi Guang came out of the driver's seat. Holding a bouquet of flowers and a paper bag of a chocolate brand. Yibo frowned and looked at Xiao zhan intently.

"Hello honey!!" Zhi Guang said the moment he entered the shop and hurriedly went to Xiao zhan and hugged him tightly. "I missed you so much.." he landed a kiss on Xiao zhan's cheek.

"How are you allowed to drive around?"

"Connections!!" He answered proudly then showed him a card..  "this is a pass card.. but I'm only allowed for 2 hours.. look they wrote, 11am here, so I need to be home by 1pm.. "

"Oh.. that's great"

"You're the only reason why I need this pass card."

"Have you eaten?"

"I don't want to eat..I just want to talk to you.." he handed Xiao zhan the flower and the paper bag.

Xiao zhan put it aside. " Seat here first.."  he pointed at the chair he's using if there is no customer.

"Sure"

Yibo walks at the counter. "Can I order Iced tea and this croissant."

Xiao zhan bit his lower lips.. he's worried yibo might say something stupid in front of Zhi Guang.

"Hi!! You're the boarder!!" Zhi Guang smiled at Yibo while Xiao zhan prepared his order.

"Ah..yes!"

"So you're working online"

"That's how it works right now.."

"Yeah!! These quarantines are a hassle for business.. " Zhi Guang's phone rings. "I'll just answer this call..

Xiao zhan put the tray of the food that Yibo ordered before he even put it down on the counter Yibo took it, and intentionally caressed his hands. A sharp look on Xiao zhan's eyes stabbed at him, but he just shrugged and smiled at him.. "I'll pay later, I left my wallet inside.."

Xiao zhan ignored him then faced Zhi Guang.

He mouthed " who is it?"

Zhi gestures a hand telling him to wait. After talking to someone zhi turn off the call and sighed.

"Hon.. it's my business partner. He fixed a zoom meeting with the americans that we are dealing with at the moment, so I need to go now.. I need to present some paperwork to them.." he sighed again and pulled Xiao zhan's hand.. " I miss you so much.."

"It's okay.. after these quarantines we can catch up with the lost times..." He smiles at him.

"You're so nice to me.." he kissed his hand then stood up. "So I have to go now.. hey boarder, you still didn't tell me your name"

"It's Yibo!" Yibo stood up also then shook Zhi Guang's hand for a hand shake. He didn't even smile at him, he stared arrogantly at Zhi.
