"AAAHHHHHHH!!!! DIDI!!!!!!"

Dylan did a double-take when he heard Yue scream from her bedroom upstairs. He almost tripped as he tried to take the stairs two at a time in his haste to go to Yue at once. He stormed in her bedroom only to find her rolling in her bed still squealing and holding her phone close to her chest.

"You're okay? Shen Yue! You almost gave me a heart attack! I thought something happened to you!" Dylan said while frowning. He then crossed his arms and towered over Yue.

Unfazed, Yue got up and jumped up and down on the bed while still screaming/laughing like a madwoman.

"Baby, stop jumping for a while, please. Tell me first why you seemed so excited." 

Yue stopped jumping for a few seconds, flashed a wide grin at Dylan and then continued bouncing up and down on the bed. Dylan reached for her arms to keep her still. He then gently held Yue's face between his hands and kissed her on the forehead to calm her down. "Now can you tell me what is it that made you so giddy?"

With eyes still twinkling, Yue also kissed Dylan's forehead. But instead of saying anything, she handed him her phone instead. "Read the message from Yangjin-jie."

Dylan's facial expression turned from confusion to delight. By the time he finished reading the message, he climbed in the bed, held Yue's hands and they both jumped up and down while laughing hysterically. After a few minutes, they both plopped down on the bed, still giggling.

When the fit of their laughter died down, Dylan turned on his side to face Yue and touched the tip of her nose. "Congratulations Shen Yue. You're the newest Global Bench Setter!"

Dylan was all smiles as he watches Yue discard one outfit after another. After some time, she turned around to look at Dylan, blew her fringe out of exasperation and pouted. "I don't know why I am being too nervous. It's not like I haven't gone to endorsement meetings before. And why can't I find suitable clothes to wear?"

Dylan stood up and went to Yue. "Hey, what are you truly agitated about?"

"I don't know. I guess I just really wanted to give Mr. Ben Chan a very good first impression. I mean it would be cool to endorse Bench like you. And I get to go to the Philippines as well! You know I have watched the videos of your fan meet a lot of times. And I haven't said it but I envy you. You got to see and feel that kind of love from people who are from another country. I want to experience that first hand too."

Dylan hugged Yue tight. "The fact that he contacted your agency to get you, that is already saying something. I may be wrong but as far as I know, Bench is picky in getting female international artists as an endorser. So you shouldn't worry My Cai."

Yue pulled back a little and looked at Dylan suspiciously. "Hey, you haven't used that nickname for a while. Do you know something I don't?"

"Okay fine. Mr. Chan contacted me a few months ago. Apparently, your fans from the Philippines never let up on tagging them in Instagram and Twitter requesting for you to endorse Bench as well. You're more popular than me. It's your name they're chanting when I was there remember? I don't know that much but they will promote you as Shancai. It's only fitting since they got me as Dao Ming Si." Dylan said, but he let go of Yue since he saw her eyes turn into slits.

"So you knew about this and didn't tell me?" Yue tried to kick Dylan but he was able to avoid her while laughing. She continued to chase him around trying to throw playful kicks and punches but Dylan had mastered the art of dodging her.

It was only when Yue sat down on the sofa that he deemed it safe to go near her again. But as soon as he sat down beside her, she slapped his arm. "You are so bad Wang He Di. Why didn't you tell me that Mr. Ben Chan contacted you? Are we keeping secrets now from each other?"
