In the Future

The Night is Deep

Ultimately, Xiao Zhan still ended up being dragged to the arranged hotpot place by Wang Yibo and sitting down in front of Ella and the others' astonished gazes.

"Zhan-ge, these are the three seniors of 101 that take very good care of me that I've always told you about, Jie-ge, Little Pig-ge, Ella-jie."

Xiao Zhan hurriedly rose, shaking hands with each of the three, red-faced, copying Wang Yibo's forms of address. "Jie-ge, Little Pig-ge, Ella-jie, I've heard of your great names for a long time now."

"You're too kind." The three of them politely responded.

To say they weren't surprised would be a lie, just a moment ago they were even discussing that someone who could win Wang Yibo's favor and was there for program filming must have been one of the female trainees present. It was just unknown which girl was so lucky, when they were scoring they would have a sense of propriety.

There was no way they would have known that the person who walked in would actually be a slightly bashful, older boy. Moreover, in terms of age, it was obvious that he had a few years over Wang Yibo.

For a moment, no one knew how to speak up. With regards to homosexuality, they didn't really have any opposition. In this circle, temptations were numerous and there were many handsome men and beautiful women. Coming out of the closet wasn't something strange, but towards Yibo, they had never thought that there would be a day when he would come out of the closet. Maybe they are just very good friends, they guessed in their thoughts.

The three of them stared curiously at Xiao Zhan, their laser-hot gazes piercing him and making him unable to sit still. If he still couldn't guess what was happening, then he was truly an idiot.

Xiao Zhan unconsciously lowered his head, reaching out to pinch Wang Yibo's leg.

Really, he told him a thousand, a million times not to reveal their relationship. Wasn't he great, not only did he reveal their relationship with no scruples whatsoever, he even brought him out magnificently to appear in front of the three of them, really...he couldn't be any more shameless and brazen. In his heart, he regretted ten thousand times over, if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have come.

"Right, Xiao Zhan, no wonder this name sounds so familiar, you're not one of the guest performers this time, are you?" Ella laughed as she smoothed things over, not wanting the atmosphere to appear very awkward, as much as possible.

Xiao Zhan nodded, smiling. "Right, I'm honored to receive an invitation to participate in the program this time."

Little Pig chuckled. "I was saying, how was it that Yibo's face was dark like a dead fish before entering the rehearsal hall and after entering the room he was suddenly smiling like a flower? So the true reason was here, hehe, I understand, I understand now."

"Little Pig-ge, you should just eat your food, so much talking." Wang Yibo picked up a large piece of pork belly with his chopsticks and stuffed it into Little Pig's bowl, half shy and half rebuking as he spoke.

"Hey, Yibo, I never eat fatty meat and you actually gave me such a large piece of pork belly! Are you trying to make me fat!" Little Pig laughed helplessly.

"Here, here, here, didn't you want lean meat? Have some more meatballs, it's all lean meat inside, perfect for blocking up your mouth." Zhang Jie seized the opportunity and stuffed an enormous meatball into Little Pig's mouth, almost burning him to tears.

"Pei pei pei, Zhang Jie, this is attempted murder!"

He made everyone laugh. Xiao Zhan laughed until his eyes and brows became curves. That kind of healing smile made Ella unable to resist sighing. "Oh my, Yibo, this little friend of yours is too much. Forget being handsome and memorable, this smile, really, he's making this womanly heart of mine thump. Pei pei, you've got a promising future, lad."
