The news spread like wild fire in a split of a second as Cheng Xiao and Wang Yibo's romance and kissing scene topped the search engines.
While it was heaven for Cheng Xiao whose popularity peaked in a lightning speed, it was hell for Yibo.
The guy want nothing in his life but solemnity and quietness, but because of the scandal, the paparazzis and crazy fans turn up wherever he is at, tracking his whereabouts, knocking on his door in the middle of the night, asking for his statement and confirmation of the issue. He had an earful reprimand from his Management as well, not least forget the hate comments and bashing he receives online.
If only he could dug a hole and hide himself in there, he would gladly do so, so as just to be freed from all these hassles. He also needed time and space to think and sort his own feelings after seeing his Zhan-ge in the middle of last night's commotion.
'Was that really him!?' was the question sweeping Yibo's mind like a hurricane. He hates the uncertainty which is giving him a terrible headache. While the hope of its reality is igniting something within him which is hard to suppress.
Meanwhile, 'What is going on inside this kid's brain?!' was his manager's thought as he cluelessly witnessed how Yibo lose his impassive composure, seeing the scowl on the younger's face and how he fiendishly bite his finger until it bled.
Left with no choice, Yuehua Entertainment asked Zhan's company's help for damage control, of which Meng Ziyi, upon reception of the request and knowing Zhan's close association with them, agreed to come for a rescue.
But it was a wrong move she had made.
She had never seen Zhan burnt his string of patience to ashes in the instance he heard of the task.
The man looked horribly pale and worn-out with his eyes red and lids swollen as if he had cried himself to sleep last night (if he ever got to sleep).
"I-I'm sorry. I thought y-you're all out in supporting that company." Ziyi stuttered understanding her mistake.
Zhan massaged his temples turning away from her, calming his still shaken nerves.
He better compose himself. He isn't this type of man. He doesn't mix personal feelings with business.
'Right. Except when it comes to Yibo.' He mentally groaned.
Breathing out a heavy and long one, Zhan put himself into action immediately and went to Yuehua's with his secretary Ji Li.
As if fate is playing on its strings, the sight of the last person he wanted to encounter that day appeared in front of him.
Yibo's group was walking towards the elevator in the distance, and though Zhan needed to take the same lift, he paused and idled on his spot, letting the group go ahead.
Before the door closes though, Yibo's downcasted eyes lifted up, and Zhan saw how his eyes widen by a minute as it landed on him.
It was literally a very short staring game but it felt like forever for Zhan. The way they held each other's gazes was like it was in the past.
A stare to the soul, deep and drowning.
Ji Li looked questioningly at Zhan's shocked facade, and the former couldn't shut his mouth to keep his thoughts to himself. He exclaimed staring at Yibo's direction, "So that's the Cold Prince Wang-er Laoshi! Handsome yet still poker-faced despite facing such a huge scandal! Maybe the dating rumor is true! What else could be the reason for him to kiss his partner on the dancefloor, right?"
As he heard no feedback from his Boss, which is unusual for the chatty man Zhan is, Ji Li turned towards his way again, and saw that Zhan is already walking his way back to the car park, dismissing his agenda of meeting Yibo's manager and settling the current matters.
Ji Li ran after him, confused and worried. "What's wrong? What about the appointment?"
"S-Send Ziyi. I-I'm not feeling well." Zhan stuttered almost choking himself with the lack of air.

Author's Notes:
Yeah, so I don't intend to explain Yibo's feelings for now. So I will limit his point of view. I just want you to anticipate whether he longs for Zhan or he had already forgotten about him, like what Zhan thinks.
I would also like to emphasize: Yibo knows they have mutual feelings in the past, yet Zhan didn't know Yibo's feelings as he pretended to be asleep during Zhan's confession
AND though Yibo knew they have mutual feelings before, he still left and did not say anything to Zhan NOR look for Zhan after coming back to China.
So yeah, let's leave Yibo's feelings as a mystery for now.
