Xiao Zhan's POV:

Walking out of the washroom, toweling my hair, dressed in comfortable boxers and robe, I stop mid way at seeing the sleeping Yibo on the bed. Comforter tucked upto his chin, his cute small lips, he red rudy cheeks, coloured in affirmation to what we have been doing the whole day, I Snicker .

Oh love.

Not wanting to disturb him, I look around the house and I am amazed. It's so beautiful and elegant. Walking into the kitchen, I look around for groceries. Ah ha well stacked. Time for me to court him properly.

Wang Yibo's POV:

I wake up to a delicious aroma enveloping me and I smile. I look around and don't find Wei. Well that saves me from embarrassment when I find wet patches on the sheets. I know, my face would be beet red.

Changing the sheets quickly, I walk into the bathroom for a quick shower. Once I am done, I follow the amazing aroma and I freeze when I find him cooking.

He looks up from the mixture in his hands are working on and his eyes trail my body. I physically shiver.

"Yibo" he teases "you can't look so delicious, that you make me want to eat you"

"When did I stop you from doing that?" I smirk as I sit opposite him and find him looking at me with hunger in his eyes.

He laughs and goes about mixing his ingredients.

"Vixen" he murmurs. 

"You cook?" I question him as he goes about adding more ingredients into the container.

"Yup, I have always loved cooking" he smiles "Yong and Alden they love my cooking" he looks up "hopefully you'll love it too".

I smile back. We talk a lot about small things as to his interest in cooking at stuff when he starts plating the dishes.

"Shall we eat out at the patio?"

"Sure" he hand out few items to me and we proceed to set the patio.

Sitting side by side we enjoy the tranquility of the evening and more so his delicious food.

"This is delicious" I take a bite of the food. He blushes and swirls his fork into the food at takes a bite. "Have you always cooked this deliciously?". He nods. "For how long?"

He shrugs "I think since we were young" he ponders.

"We?"

"Yong and me"

"I never asked you much but..." I trail away, not knowing how to ask.

"Yibo, you know you have the right to ask me anything you want to know, right?"

I nod.

He smiles "Yong and I were a part of the same orphanage. Rather it was him who took me there" he chuckles "now thinking about it, who Yong is and our past, it seems a lot like fate doesn't it?" He looks at me and grins. "Uncle adopted me and took me home a lifetime ago and in this lifetime, Yong took me home".

"Do you remember anything before your time with Yong?" I hold his hand.

He entangles his fingers with mine and nods softly.

"It wasn't an easy time, Lan Zhan. It was a time, where I was beaten by people who thought I would steal their food or belongings." He smiles sadly "I used to hide behind this dustbin, thinking that was my safest refuge, until a dog or rodent came by"

My Zhan.

"I don't remember who my parents are Yibo" he laughs sadly "Doesn't it sound similar to my past?" I pull him next to me and he places his head on my shoulder.

Sighing softly he continues "After I was found and Yong took me to the orphanage, life became a little easier. Yong always protected me from the bullies and we stuck together. As we grew up, we started working doing some menial jobs. We worked our asses and earned money, started studying and here we are" he kisses my forehead lightly "the couple who took me into their refuge were not bad people. They cared for all of us, with what means they had". I hug him tightly. Living the way you lived, yet you always have a smile on your face. My Wei Ying.

"What about you?" He questions.

"Hm?"

"When did you realise who you were?"

I smile and caress his head with my fingers "I always knew something was different with me. I always dreamt of a couple but could never place their face. With time, I never knew whether they were dreams or nightmare. All I ever heard was the name 'Wei'. Then one day, when I was about 10 years and brother wasn't home, I wandered to our basement and that's when everything changed. I saw your photo" he caresses my wrist and I look at him "the one that you drew?" He questions softly and I nod "Yes the one that I drew in your memory" I kiss his lips.

"I saw the painting and I blacked out. My brother found me there and nurtured me back to health. I remembered everything and my soul couldn't take it. I was sick and nearly on the brink of life. But, the determination to find you again, made me live." I smile "My brother always knew who we were. He helped me a lot in understanding who I was" he tugs my hand and I look at him "He helped me too. The other night. To understand you." He smiles shyly.

I kiss him again. "Yes, he's amazing that way" and we both laugh.

"He sent me to Seoul, to become more stable and once I could get a hold of my health and self, I came back. What I didn't realise was that, the day I join the university, I'd find my soul" I kiss him again and this time it lingers on.

"Yibo" he whispers and I look at him. "I promise to never leave you".

If you do, I won't survive this time.

I don't have to tell him. He knows.

We continue to sit in silence and enjoy the tranquility between us. For now this is enough. For now all we need is us.
