On The Run

Part 4

Yibo was serving breakfast when Xiao Zhan came down. Judging from his fresh look, he must have taken his shower.

“Good morning, Zhan-ge!” Yibo greeted him.

Xiao Zhan chuckled. “Zhan-ge?”

Yibo looked at him. “I can’t call you Zhan-ge?”

Xiao Zhan took a seat and shook his head. “It’s okay. You can call me Zhan-ge.”

“Good morning, Xiao Zhan…” Qian Feng greeted him, serving him breakfast. “Sweet bread? With omelette…?”

Xiao Zhan hissed, eyes lit in excitement. “Smells good.”

“Enjoy your breakfast…” Qian Feng said.

Yibo pour a cup of black coffee for him.

“Thank you…” Xiao Zhan took the coffee, looked up at him. “Why doesn’t Qian Feng have breakfast with us?”

Yibo took his seat in front Xiao Zhan, grabbing a bun of sweet bread and the omelet, and served him. “He has his own breakfast-time.”

Xiao Zhan took a bit of the sweet bread. “Mmm… so fluffy. Did Feng-ge make this on his own?”

“Mmn.” Yibo knew that Qian Feng could cook. He was a foodie maniac actually. But making bread, Yibo didn’t think Qian Feng would bother himself to make it. Or, would he?

“So, Yibo, how long have you been work here?” Xiao Zhan asked.

YIbo raised his eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

“Work here? Taking care Wang-laoshi’s house?” Xiao Zhan looked at him.

Yibo chewed slowly. See? This was Yibo called complicated. Not saying it clearly, but not denying it either. So, what now? Confessing that he was a bodyguard or… what?

“About a week.” He wasn’t lying. He has been here since around a week. Either guarding Xiao Zhan or taking care the house, both were his job.

“Wang-laoshi is the friend of my dad. They get along really well. But I don’t know that Wang-laoshi has this family residence.”

“So, why are you here?” Suddenly Yibo curious about what He Jiong has said to him.

“Family matter…” Xiao Zhan answered.

Yibo nodded.

“Some bad things happened and my dad wants me to take a holiday.

Just have me-time and spoil myself.” Xiao Zhan ate the omelet slowly, cut it in little pieces.

Yibo nodded again. Holiday as the excuse.

During breakfast, Xiao Zhan mostly did the talk excitedly. He was definitely a cheerful and easy-going type of person. Yibo himself preferred listening to him, commented a bit.

“Actually, I always want to open a bakery,” Xiao Zhan said. His breakfast was long way gone and he was enjoying his half-cup-left coffee.

“Really…?” Yibo took the empty plates and stacked them.

“Yes. The feeling when you see their satisfied expression while eating your food…” Xiao Zhan trailed off.

“Mmn.”

“But after graduating college, without even realizing what I was doing, suddenly I found myself assisting my dad at the TV station.”

“You didn’t tell him what you want?”
