After his first win, he got invited to many talk shows, interviews and conferences. Being known as the Newbie racer who won in his first Grand Prix.

And as a manager, I fix his schedules and attend with him in his whereabouts. I sighed, he sure is popular.

We don't even have time together. At night, we were both exhausted and end up sleeping.

I sighed as I stare at his schedule, it's a long list of schedule.

I suddenly felt dizzy, all I can see are blurred. Why does it suddenly felt chilly?

"Zhan ge, let's have lunch." Yibo suddenly popped out from outside.

Just then..."AAACHOOO!" I sneezed. That's sudden, it's not even rainy days or cold days.

"Are you sick Zhan ge?" He approached me and hand me his handkerchief.

"I-i'm fine," I said as I wipe my nose.

"You're clearly not! Look, your face is red and you suddenly sneezed." He exclaimed and put his hand on my forehead. "You're burning hot!" He hissed angrily and grabbed the folder of his schedules.

"I'll take you home." He said sternly. I shook my head and grabbed his arm. "No, you still have a conference today. You need to go and I need to accompany you." I whined, but my head is spinning.

"NO! I'll take you home." He said and swooped me up on his arms. I gasped in shock.

"B-But---" I retorted but he cut me off.

"No buts, just shut up." He said, his brows are furrowed as we went out of the room. I cannot argue right now. It looked like he's angry.

.

We arrived at our apartment, he laid me on the bed and stood up.

"Wait here, I'm going to get some warm water and cold medicine." He said in his cold tone. I haven't seen him like this before.

"Oh okay," I just answered.

After a while, he arrived with a basin and a soaked towel on it and cold medicine.

"Drink this," He said and gave me the glass of water and cold medicine.

I oblige and drank the medicine. He then squeezed the soaked towel and pat it on my forehead.

"How did you get sick?" He asked, his brows are still furrowed.

I chuckled and caress his forehead to remove his furrowed brows. "Don't look at me in that way. It's scary." I laughed faintly.

"Tsk" He hissed and place the cloth on my forehead.

"When you're sick you should tell me, don't force yourself at work." He said and sighed.

"But I don't really force myself. I don't have any idea about managing but I'm trying my best and I love doing it as long as I'm with you." I smiled at him and caress his cheeks.

"But still! Look at you now, you're sick." He exclaimed.

"It's just a cold, nothing serious." I chuckled.

"Even if it's just a cold, you're still sick," I said angrily.

I chuckled again, "I will be fine sooner or later so don't worry." I said and closed my eyes.

Just then his phone suddenly rang, He answered immediately.

"Yes, team leader?" He answered.

"WHERE ARE YOU YIBO?! THE PRESS IS WAITING FOR YOU!" I can hear the angry voice of the team leader from the other line.

"B-but---" He was cut off by the other line.

"No buts! And come over here" He said.

"But my manager is ill team leader." He sighed.

"Is that so? Well, I am planning to give you another manager so come back here." The team leader said. I smiled faintly, maybe he really needs a trained manager for this. He's getting popular and popular.

The call dropped, Yibo sighed and stared at his phone.

I held his hand, he looked at me. "You should go now Bodi, they are looking for you." I smiled at him.

"But who will take care of you?" He asks in his sad tone.

"I will be fine Bodi, you made me drink cold medicine already so after hours it will take effect," I said and pat his arm.

"But, I can't leave you by yourself." He said concerned.

I caress his hair, "I'm fine, it is your dream, so go." I said and pulled him and kissed his forehead.

"That's it for now so you won't catch my cold, when I'm healed I'll kiss you restless on your lips." I grinned.

He just sighed, "You sure?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yes, so go on."

"Then I'll be back after the conference." He said and leaned to kiss me on my forehead. "I love you." He whispered.

"I love you more, good luck there!" I said faintly.

"When you're bored just open the television and watch me. Okay?" He said and put the remote control beside me.

"Hm," I answered and closed my eyes.

"Bye." I waved at him, then I heard the door open and then closed.

I sighed, I'm weak on stress so I end up getting a cold sometimes.

I smiled and closed my eyes. Before I know it, I drifted to sleep.

I was awakened by the tone of my phone, I reached for it on the bedside table and saw Yibo's message. It says that the conference will be starting soon.

I immediately grabbed the remote control and opened the television.

He's right, he's now speaking while the press is recording every word he says. He's sharing his experience. He's smiling at the press so genuinely. How I love his smiles, I don't ever want to see him being sad or angry.

I smiled as I watch him.

After the conference is finished I suddenly got a call from him. I immediately answered.

"How's the conference?" I asked.

"It went well, but I'm a bit sad that I'm not there with you when you're sick." He sulked. I can imagine him pouting.

I chuckled. "At least it went well."

"By the way, I'll be a bit late so rest well. I was said to meet my new manager officially tonight. I'm sorry." He said with his sad tone.

I smiled faintly, sooner or later I'll be replaced with his new manager.

"Then have fun. I love you." I tried to give him a cheer in my voice and it seemed to be working.

"I love you more. Rest well my love" He said and dropped the call.

I sighed as put my phone on the bedside table.

Maybe they saw that I'm incapable of doing my job so they gave him a new manager. Well, it's better that way. He needs a professional one and not an inexperienced like me.
