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

Chapter 6

They arrived in time for the preparation. Ji Li, or Nie Huaisang, excused himself to meet his brother, and he's showing Yibo the band, to practice the song, Bu Wang, as per request of the bride. He practiced for a few times, more like familiarized the band with his song, and he specifically requested a quqin player so the effect he wanted will be there. The haunting sound of longing. 

I wonder why the bride wants me to sing this song, it's not your typical sappy love song that's usually being played at the wedding. It's more like... aching for someone song. Well, whatever floats her boat. I was supposed to be in France anyway, might as well enjoyed the wedding.

The guests had already arrived and he took a seat near the buffet table, when his eyes fell on something familiar.

No, it can't be...

He walked closer to the table, and looked at the pink flower dumplings.

But before he could ask or do anything about it, he was whisked away to the stage, to prepare to sing, since it was time for the wedding.

He stood on the stage, right beside the priest, the other side of the bridegrooms, Nie Huaisang waved at him, and he started to sing on cue.

The world passes by but I remember only you...
 
When he's got to that part, he saw the bride walked slowly into the altar, held by a tall, handsome man, with a dark wavy hair, and the mole under his lips. 

Impossible...
 
He closed his eyes, and opened it again, to see the other man is now staring at him, mouth agape, and he stopped walking.

Yibo snapped first from his trance, threw his mic to the astonished priest, half walk half run to the man who haunts his dreams and waking hours for these 5 years, cupped his face, and kissed him with all the pent up frustration and longing.

The crowd gasped, but he couldn't care less.

After a while, he let go of him, and suddenly he sucker punched the older man. "That's for leaving me behind for 5 years without any news." But then he grabbed him again, and kissed him hard.

"Jesus, did you have to do that?" Xiao Zhan groaned.

"Thanks, but I'm not Jesus, I'm your fucking...what, what am I to you? You haven't answered that since 5 years ago, just tell me now..." he whispered in the older's mouth, prayed that it's not a dream, and if it is, just please don't wake him up, he'll be glad to stay in this dream forever.

Xiao Zhan grabbed him fiercely, and looked him in the eyes. "You're my fucking soulmate, asshole..." and kissed him hard.

"Ehm...EHM..excuse me..." someone poked them on the ribs.

"Ah! I'm sorry!!!! God, I'm so sorry!!" Xiao Zhan looked at the bride, just realized what he's supposed to do, his face reddened. "Jesus, Ziyi, did I ruin the wedding?"

Yibo looked at the bride, and the lightbulb went on in his head. "You? You were Xiao Zhan's fiancee right?" He looked at her, then back to Xiao Zhan. "Were you going to marry her just now?"

"Ehm, hello? I'm here? You could just ask me, you know?" She waved her hand in front of Yibo.

He looked at her distastefully, when Nie Huaisang approached them with an older version of him. 

"Yibo, calm down, this is my brother, Nie Mingjue, he was the one who's going to marry Ziyi jie, you know, Zhan ge here was just bringing the bride to the altar..." he explained to Yibo, and Nie Mingjue, his HOST, reached his hand to shake Yibo's. "Wang Yibo, it is an honor to finally meet you, Ziyi and Xiao Zhan talked about you all the time."

"Now that we got all of the misunderstanding out of the way, can we please continue with the wedding? My shoes are killing me!" Ziyi grabbed Mingjue's hand, and they marched to the altar, followed by Huaisang, who looked back at them and gave them his two thumbs up.
 
Yibo chuckled, then he looked at Xiao Zhan, and vice versa.

"You want to get out of here?"

Xiao Zhan nodded, and they left there, hand in hand.

"Tell me what happened." 

They were lying down on the grass, a little bit outside the chateu where they held the wedding, holding on to each other's hand.

"It's a very long story." Xiao Zhan played with Yibo's hair. Still mesmerized by his ethereal beauty that only got better by time.

"I've got time."
