By the time Assistant Wang walked out of the coach bus station, pushing the luggage cart, there were no words that could express how he felt.
"Xiao Laoshi, you're not joking, are you?" Seeing the bright and dangling 'Hangzhou' characters, Assistant Wang felt that his entire face was twitching. Just three hours ago, Wang Yibo had reluctantly sent Xiao Zhan into the passenger center, urging him a thousand, a million times to take good care of Xiao Zhan and report the status of their travels at any time. Where was the Shaoxing ancient city he was promised?
Xiao Zhan rubbed his nose awkwardly. "I just wanted to surprise him, you have to keep this a secret for me."
"Xiao Laoshi, Boss will kill me!" Assistant Wang said aggrievedly. Wang Yibo even sent him a WeChat message asking where they were a minute ago. How was he supposed to respond?
Xiao Zhan smiled, putting his arm around Assistant Wang's shoulders. "Assistant Wang, Yibo has bullied you for so long, don't you want to see his defeated appearance?" he enticed him.
"But, Xiao Laoshi, compared to seeing Boss's defeated look, I feel like my life is more important."
"Aiya, don't be so pedantic, I just want to give him a surprise, if you don't spill the secret, then you only displease your boss. With me around, your boss won't do anything to you. But! If you do spill the secret, hehe, then you don't only offend your boss..." Saying this, Xiao Zhan reached out to pat Assistant Wang's head. "You're so smart, you should have an idea of which side to take..."
Assistant Wang wanted to cry, why did he have such a misbehaving mouth, jumping into the fire of his own accord. If he had just obediently followed Wang Yibo, then he wouldn't know anything right now, how nice that would've been.
At the same time, Wang Yibo sat in the recording studio, flipping through his phone nonstop. Generally speaking, Xiao Zhan should have arrived at his destination at this time and Assistant Wang would send a picture reporting their travels in a timely manner. It's been so long, why was there no news at all?
Entering the set, Little Pig [1] cheerfully gave Wang Yibo a hug, smiling. "I heard that today's competition is very different, with guest group performers. It seems you're also participating."
Wang Yibo nodded, smiling weakly. "Mn, it's not the first time. The director probably thought the effect of my last performance was ok, so he put me on again this time."
"Work hard, kid, I have faith in you."
"Thank you, Little Pig-ge."
"Hey, Yibo, so you've arrived!" Ella approached and tapped Wang Yibo's shoulder, greeting him. This little brother worked hard and was spirited, she quite liked him.
Wang Yibo nodded. "Yeah, jie [2], I'm back."
"I heard you have to go on stage this episode, are you ready?"
"Mn, for dancing, I still have to coordinate with my group-mates, but there shouldn't be any problems otherwise." As Wang Yibo spoke, he couldn't help taking a look at his phone. There was still no news.
"Yibo, why do I feel like your condition today isn't quite right? Is there something going on?"
"Oh, nothing, I'm just waiting for a phone call." Wang Yibo said as he hid his phone behind his back, attempting to conceal but only making things more suspicious.
"Ha, it's definitely a girl! Yibo, you're not being a good boy, getting a girlfriend!" Little Pig teased.
"No, no...Little Pig-ge you're overthinking things."
