I'd Like to Wok With You (Yizhan Romcom)

Chapter 2

The next day, Xiao Zhan woke up to the knocking on his door. He jumped from his bed, eyes bleary because he could not sleep a wink last night, and he looked at the clock on his bedside. 6 a.m. What the..? He walked downstairs to the front door, and opened it to find..

"Wang Laoshi?? What are you doing here at this ungodly hour?"

"It's 6 a.m Xiao Laoshi, I've been up since 4 a.m." he walked inside, bringing a backpack and a large carry-on with him.

"What..? What are you doing? Are you finally snapped and going to run away?" Xiao Zhan eyed Yibo suspiciously.

"Xiao Laoshi, Xiao Zhan, please, for the peace of my mind, let me stay here for the duration of the filming. Couple weeks top. I hate to stay at the hotel all the time." He put his carry-on and backpack down at the floor, and sit on the sofa.

"What happened, Yibo? Are you okay? Let me get you some coffee." He walked to the kitchen and put the coffee into the coffeemaker.

"What happened was, some of my...more determined fans found out about of my hotel room number, and they knocked on my door, whole night long. That's why I ran away the first chance I got. Don't worry, I told my manager that I'm here." He starts to lull his head, desperate for sleep.

At that time, Xiao Zhan's phone is ringing. The number is unknown. He picked it up suspiciously.

"Xiao Laoshi, is Wang Laoshi with you? Do you mind letting him stay? He's been up all night and I'm afraid it's not safe yet to book another hotel room."

"Yes, he's here, don't worry, I will take care of him. Just let me know if there's any news."

"Thank you, Xiao Laoshi!"

Xiao Zhan looked at the now sleeping Yibo on his sofa.

Without makeup and all that glitter, he looked like an innocent boy. So vulnerable. He sat beside him, and tried to wake him up, to move him into his guest room.

"Yibo, come, let's put you on the bed. You will not be comfortable here, besides, Xuan Lu will definitely have a heart attack if she sees you sprawled here." He chuckled and lifted one of Yibo's arm to carry him upstairs. Yibo only groans but he stands up, leaning heavily on Xiao Zhan.

"Thank you, Zhan ge, please take care of me."

Xiao Zhan put Yibo on the guest room beside his, and came back down to have some coffee since he definitely can not sleep now, with Yibo stayed in his close quarter. 

He thinks about Yibo's life, how could he get any privacy with fans disrespecting his private life. I mean, knocking on his hotel room? Do they know the difference between acting, public persona, and private life? He's just an ordinary human, with his limitation and his own need, and he need to rest for christsake! Well, if they hope to do more than taking a picture of him, just pray that he's in a good mood and not slamming them with his skateboard. That, I will pay to see.

Xiao Zhan chuckled, and suddenly very aware that he's getting kinda worked up because of Yibo. He really can't imagine the life of a famous person. He's quite satisfied with his own life. True, some people will recognized him on the street, and they'll asked for selfies. But that's the most of the things people do. Not quite the level of the most famous person in the whole China.

And he's sleeping in my spare bedroom.

Xiao Zhan suddenly feels hot all over.

 
"I can hear you thinking, you know."

Xiao Zhan turned around to find Yibo stood behind him. Waaay to close for comfort. And he's getting closer, and closer, forcing him back to the kitchen table. Then he puts his arms on either side of Xiao Zhan without touching him, his nose's hovering on Xiao Zhan's neck. And Xiao Zhan can feel him took a deep breath. "Hmm...smells so good..." then he pulled back suddenly, coffee in hand. "You make a great coffee, Zhan ge." He gave Xiao Zhan a wink, and his shittiest eat-shitting grin, with twinkle in his eyes, knowing full well what he just did to the handsome chef.
