It all started with a lesson (Yizhan/Wnagxiao)

Chapter 11: Understanding

!!!THIS IS ENTIRELY FICTIONAL!!!! 

I was gonna give the whole thing another week at first but someone wrote "Kindly update please" and like idk why but I felt so touched lmao. So here's an unedited (sorry haha but I don't think there are any major mistakes) somewhat short chapter to satiate your hunger (for my wonderful writing skills 😏 ... jkjk.)

WYB

Learning something and understanding something are 2 completely different things. Learning is knowing of something's existence, understanding is getting to know it.

When the food finally arrived, Wang Yibo couldn't help but smirk at the confused look on Xiao Zhan's face. He calmly picked up his fork and started to cut the steak; taking his share, and pretending he didn't notice Zhan's puzzled eyes.

'Aiyo so much cutlery.' Zhan mumbled. 'How are people supposed to know what to use?!?'

Wang Yibo knew the question wasn't directed at him but still felt the urge to respond. 'They learn etiquette.'

Xiao Zhan rolled his eyes. 'Well, if you know so much then why don't you teach me?'

Yibo could tell Zhan was starting to warm up to him. Zhan was joking, and teasing and he didn't seem to constantly be in fear when situated near Yibo. This made Yibo feel strangely relaxed, calm. For once he felt like he could be himself and perhaps use his brains for something useful, like teasing his new PA to the ends of the world.

'You kept shushing me before.' Wang Yibo grimaced. 'That indicates that you want me to shut up. Yet now that I do, you want me to open my mouth and teach you? Just what exactly do you want?'

Zhan paused, then hmphed, crossed his arms and turned his face away from Yibo. His lips were pressed into a thin line; but hidden beneath the fringe of his lashes, his eyes were twinkling. Yibo did not miss this. He could tell that Zhan enjoyed arguing with him as much as he did Zhan. He couldn't stop the muscles in his face from lifting his mouth up into a slight smirk.

'Ah I see,' Wang Yibo's smile only grew, 'you don't want to talk about it? That's fine. You still have to eat though.' With that he lifted the plate, set in between them, and pushed the rest of the steak onto Zhan's plate.

'That still doesn't mean that I know what to cut stuff with.' Zhan finally turned round to look at Yibo again. 'Still don't know what fork to use. Doesn't matter. I'll just use whatever I feel like.'

'Yes and fail to cut steak by using the appetiser knife that is unneeded because the waiter didn't ask us if we wanted appetiser. Just so you know.' Yibo remarked.

'You seem strangely passionate about appetisers.' Zhan pointed out.

'Not appetisers. But I do have a thing for order and doing things correctly.' especially when I have to organise missions. Nothing can go wrong.

'More than a thing' Zhan quoted and fixed. Yibo chuckled.

'You're pretty funny you know?' Yibo commented.

'You think so?' Zhan sounded surprised but added before Yibo could say anything, 'I think so too. People need to pay more attention to my humour. It's great.'

Yibo didn't respond to this, allowing his employee to live out his moment of glory.

'Pull your head out of the clouds and eat.' Wang Yibo said after frowning at Zhan's dreamy expression for a full minute.

'I still don't know what fork or knife to use.'

'Use the knife with the black handle and the fork right next to the plate.'

!!!THIS IS ENTIRELY FICTIONAL!!!! 

Just so people know; yes I am easily convinced (seeing as I don't think I have a lot of 'fans' so I really appreciate the ones that I do have) but no this won't always work. There will be times when I say I won't update and I mean it. Don't worry tho 😊 I intend to finish this story in a fulfilling way... after I somehow manage to include angst and tears (I'm open for negotiating in terms of how torturing stuff will be - I will attempt angst but this is my first time trying to write a heart wrenching story so I'll probs fail).

Anyways in terms of smut, if you want it I am... open to negotiating but idk if I have the mental and emotional capacity to write it. There will be kiss scenes tho so don't worry about those :)

Also if you want a sorta mini theatre thing (idk if that's what it's called) at the end of each chapter, I'm considering doing those.
