LOVE ME TENDERLY (YIZHAN FANFIC)

SIGNS

ZHAN POV

I drove to the mall; I needed a couple of
supplies and groceries. After parking the car I pulled on my hoodie. The last thing I needed was to get recognized, I tried to
stay out of the public eye as much as I could. The media was going crazy speculating the reason for Yibo and I's separation. Most of them said it was a love triangle involving Danny but I was surprised when none of them mentioned my unfaithfulness to Yibo.

I wondered if that were his doing, then again why would he try and protect my good name? He hates me. One phone
call from him and I'll be known as the whore who cheated with the cousin.

I went into the first building in the plaza,
went in a couple of shop but they didn't have what I was looking for so I decided go to another building. Before I could exit I saw a flower shop, they had beautiful roses and flowers on display. I got closer to the window and caught a glimpse of red tulips. My brows furrowed as I continued to stare at them, they were just a reminder of what I lost.

Whenever you look at them, remember my love.

Remember that it will never waver, that it will keep you safe and happy.

I shied away from the pain and quickly turned walking away, only to bump into someone.

"Oh God, I'm so sorry, I didn't watch where I was going." I said to the stranger.

"Its okay." A woman said with a smile, she
had short platinum blonde hair and lite brown eyes; she looked friendly. I then realized that she dropped her magazine; I bent down to pick it up for her. I held the magazine in my hands as I saw the front page.

"May I?" I asked her absently and didn't even wait for her response. I turned to the page of cover story and I frowned at a picture of Yibo with a brown haired woman, she was very beautiful. There was a picture of them at a table laughing and another one with him leaning to her as if going to kiss her.

The article read;

Wang Yibo was seen getting hot and heavy with budding actress Emily Lim at BC's new trendy club. He must've taken a liking into her because the pair was later on spotted leaving together. Is Yibo trying to send Zhan a message? Or has he really replaced the world most beautiful man?

Then there was a picture of me outside the building and they zoomed in on my ring finger.

The picture had the tag

'Zhan has been seen without his impeccable rock'

Both parties are very secretive and neither of their or their representatives can be reached for comment. Is China's favorite couple headed down splitsville?

I took a sharp breath

"You don't like it either huh?" the blonde asked me and I looked at her dumbfounded

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Their supposed 'break-up'." She said with a displeased tone

"It's all wrong, they're supposed to be together."

She added and I looked at her awestruck. I never really understood how invested some people were in Yibo and I's relationship. It was endearing but they cannot look to us for what a perfect relationship is supposed to be like; we are not perfect.

"Besides Emily Lim has nothing on..." she
trailed off with a gasp

"Oh my God, you're him, you're Mr. Wang Zhan!" she said and I blinked twice and looked around, no one else seemed to be paying attention to us. I decided to play
dumb I started shaking my head

"No...I'm not." I said convincingly and she eyed me intently

"You're not?" she asked and I shook my head again

"Wow you look exactly like him its
actually freaky." She added, chuckling uneasily.

"I know, I get that a lot, many people tend
to mistake me for him, but I'm not." I said and she nodded

"Hmm, makes sense though. He is prettier." She said then looked me up and down;

"And dresses better. No offense." She said sheepishly and I nearly cracked up

"None taken." I said stifling a laugh,

"He is the Queen Bee for Wang Yibo after all." I added mocking the nickname the media gave me.

"I know right?" she said smiling then frowned again

"And the queen is supposed to be with the king." She added. I looked down.

"What if the king doesn't want the queen?"

I asked, somehow wanting to hear a stranger's opinion no matter how
narrow and a little biased it was.

"Then what? He can't possible do better than the queen." She said and I slightly smiled. I wonder what she'd think of the 'queen' if she heard the whole story.

I gave her magazine back to her

"Thank you...?" I asked and

"Oh, Rio." She said and I nodded

"It was nice talking to you Rio." I added and she smiled

"Who are you, the queen's doppelganger?"

She teased and I chuckled

"I'm Yao." I said, she said goodbye and
walked passed me. I went through the exit and pulled my hoodie tighter I didn't want to get almost recognized again, I slightly
smiled. It was fun to pretend to be someone else for a short while.

I sighed thinking back to the article Maybe Yibo has replaced me, who could fault
him? And no doubt he has his pick, women are probably crawling all over him now. I flinched at the thought of him and that Emily woman; did he kiss her like he used to kiss me? Or touch her and make love to her like he did to me?

Seeing him with another sort of felt like the final nail on the coffin, I'd truly lost him. I turned to cross the road to the other building when an ear-splitting scream broke through my distraction. I looked towards it and I saw a woman with her hand on her mouth looking at me in horror and the man with her screamed at me to get out of the way.

My head snapped to the van that was coming towards me, at considerably slow speed. I wondered if that was how
adrenaline felt like. At the back of my mind I knew that car was travelling very fast and was going to hit me in a few seconds if I didn't move. Finally my body reacted and I tried to leap out of its way but everything went blank...
