University High (Yizhan Fanfiction)

Chapter 36: This guy..

They were seated in the car leaving the hospital.

"Zhange can you tell me about me, about us in the past?"

"Hmm.. you used to intern at my company and worked as my assistant for almost a year. We live together coz its convenient to go to work and also I work alot from home sometimes and the arrangement is much more convenient."

"What was I like at work Zhange?"

Xiaozhan told him about his company and Yibo's day to day duties.

"Did we meet at work Zhange?"

"No. We met when you were still a student. I was your teacher at school back then."

"Huhh??? and we worked together, live together??" Yibo tried to take in the facts that sounded quite absurd.

"One day you appeared at my workplace. You said you wanted to gain experience. I had absolutely no idea how you got in at the time." Zhan chucked at the past Yibo's absurdity.

"I sound like your stalker Zhange."

Xiaozhan felt a slight jab at the words. He just laughed it off casually.

Yibo looked at Xiaozhan whose eyes were fixed on the road ahead, hand on steering wheel. He looked flawless. He could not help but wonder what the Wangyibo that this Zhange talked about was like. Or if there was a part of him that he could relate to.

"Can we go somewhere else before we head home Zhange? I'm hungry."

"That was fast, considering you finished two portions of breakfast."

"I guess I want to try out other things beside hospital food."

Xiaozhan took him to the mall and they ate at their favourite thai restaurant. Why thai restaurant? coz it also happens to be the author's favourite. *smirks..

Yibo loved the dishes that Zhan ordered and wondered why the things that this guy did hit the spot every single time.

He wondered if Zhan knew about the ring on his finger but he was hestitant to ask him about it.

"Does this place ring any bell to you?" Yibo shook his head yet the mouthwatering dishes in front of him tasted so good he could not pay attention to anything else.

Xiaozhan was somehow comforted at the scene where Yibo was eating to his heart's content. This was so much better than the days he would watch sadly when Yibo's meals were only limited to the tubes connected to his bloodstreams. Even if he could not remember Zhan was his love, he was still by his side.

After lunch, they passed by a flower shop. The shop had a display of a bouquet of autumn bloom that was filled with crimson, orange and yellow and hues.

Yibo was staring at the bouquet for some time. Zhan was walking and noticed that Yibo was not beside him anymore and when he looked back, he saw that Yibo was staring at a particular flower bouquet. Zhan remembered he might have bought him something like that in the past.

Zhan went into the shop and asked the shopkeeper to wrap it up and he paid with his debit card.

"Zhange, why are you buying such a big bouquet?"

"Its for you."

"For me? why?"

"You were staring at it so much. Maybe it reminded you of something in the past."

"I dont know Zhange, it looked very familiar yet I can't tell. Thank you Zhange. Its beautiful."

Zhan smiled and ruffled Yibo's hair. His fingers touched his hair like he was so used to it. When he pulled his hands away, Yibo could not help wanting to feel more of the touch. It made his heart ache a little when the fingers left. He did not know why he felt that way.

They walked to the parking lot and Yibo had that ridiculously large bouquet in his arms the whole time. He did not mind how ridiculous he looked for it gave him an inexplicable sense of calm.

They got to Zhan's penthouse. Yibo was amazed by the beauty and luxury of the place. Did he really live here before?

Xiaozhan gave him a short tour of the place.

"This is the kitchen, the fridge.. You love cooking and love to make meals here."

Then they moved to the living room, the home library which was Zhan's favorite place in the house.. He opened a door to a room near the kitchen.

"This is the music room. You loved singing and playing guitar and this room is soundproof so don't hestitate."

The music room did not exist before. Xiaozhan had renovated the extra room into a soundproof music room just for Yibo. He had planned on giving Yibo a surprise for his birthday. But then the accident happened so Zhan never got the chance to show it to him yet.

Yibo looked at the unfamiliar room that still had a faint smell of paint. There was a keyboard by the wall, a microphone, an LCD and his old guitar was hung by the wall.

They headed upstairs next. The second flood of the penthouse had only two rooms. He pointed to Yibo his room then opened the door to the next room for Yibo. This is your room. Mine's next door. Both rooms had their own private bathroom.

Yibo spent the rest of the day getting himself familiar with the place. He could not remember anything yet. But he was glad to be alive and considered this a new beginning. He would try his best and not disappoint the people around him.

Zoey and Yoona called to check on him. Yoona wanted to come over but Yibo told her that he needed rest. Zoey said that Yibo was in good hands. Whatever that meant.

That night Yibo was lying in his bed trying to sleep. The room was dark save for the illumination from the nightstand which was left on. This strange room.. The king sized bed was huge. It felt different than the single hospital bed which was smaller. This bed felt large and empty. He tossed and turned. He had a blanket on but he still felt cold and uneasy.

His gaze fell on the door. His feet dragged his weary body to leave the room. Once outside, he saw the door of the room next door belonging to Zhan. He did not understand why but his feet moved toward it like it was his room.

He stood there staring at the closed door. He should knock he thought, but Zhange might already be sleeping and he did not want to disturb him. The urge was pulling him with such force that he finally turned the knob.

It was unlocked. The room smelled a mix of sandalwood and lavender. It smelled nostalgic. The curtains were not drawn and he could see a sleeping figure lying on the bed. Silver light from the window crept up highlighting the fine features that was his face. He wore a thin white shirt and he could see his nipples sligtly protruding from the smooth surface of the shirt.

Yibo did not know why he could not look away and why the sight in front of him was making him blush slightly. Instinctively, he crawled onto the empty space beside Zhan and lay his head on the empty pillow next to him. He turned to the side and stared at Xiaozhan's beautiful face.

Who are you to me? Are we really just boss and subordinate? Why do I feel so comfortable around you? I have a girlfriend but why do you look so beautiful with your long eye lashes. I don't remember swingging that way. But then again I couldn't remember anything. He tried to look away picturing his girlfriend's face. But she appeared very briefly before he unconsciously turned again to look at Xiaozhan's. The questions ran ceaselessly in a loop inside his head..

Watching the serene sleeping face, Yibo's eyes finally grew heavy and he fell asleep at last.

*Thank you for reading. Feeling impatient already? I was just getting started *smirks..

Here's a little candy:

This came to mind and I would like to share it with all of you.

During the Untamed press tour round the globe, a fan asked Xiaozhan what would he do if he liked someone. Zhan said that he would make an excuse to see that person everyday but he wouldn't confess coz he's too afraid of being rejected. Such was the cute shy Zhanzhan in my image. However at another interview, he said he was surprised when his crush had confessed to him.. And the next moment he was blushing and out of words and fanning his flustered face with his hands.
Me: fangirling and blushing so hard wishing that whoever he was referring to had better be Yibo!!!
Phewww...forgive me for being dramatic.. 
See you on the next chapter.
