His Race (YiZhan Fanfiction)

Chapter 22: What's Happening

My fever is gone and I'm ready to work again.

I stretched my arms above my head and yawned.

Just then Yibo came out of the bathroom.

I smiled at him as he wipes his hair.

"Oh, you're awake Zhan ge." He said and made his way to me. He sat beside me and gave me a passionate kiss.

"Hm," I answered as he explores my mouth with his tongue.

We both gasp for air before it gets heated.

"Wait for me, didi," I said as he rests his forehead on mine.

"Where?" he asked confused.

"I'll go to work with you," I said.

"But you need rest, you just recovered." He said and caress my cheeks.

"I'm fine now Didi." I smiled and caressed his hands that is caressing my face.

"No, you'll just overwork yourself." His brows met.

"But I'll be fine now," I whined and pouted.

"Stay here at the house, you rest until tomorrow and then you can go back to work when you're totally fine already." He said sternly.

I sighed, how can I win?

"Besides I have another manager so you don't need to worry about this thing anymore. Okay?" He smiled at me, convincing that it's alright if I rest.

But that's not the problem. It's like, little by little, my position and my reason to be always by his side are getting replaced.

I smiled faintly, "Then take care there." I said. I don't want him to hold himself up and be stuck with me forever. He's young and has lots of potentials. As he gets older he will be meeting more and more people that will help him rank high.

"I will, you take care too. I'll try talking to the management and ask for an early leave. I want to make it up to you after leaving you behind by yourself, in your ill state." He stood up and put on his jacket.

He leaned on me and peck on my lips. "I love you Zhan ge" He whispered inches away from my face.

I forced a smile, "I love you too." I answered.

As he was on the door, he turned and look at me. "Eat a lot and rest. If you miss me just watch me on tv." He chuckled.

I shook my head and smile, "Yes, yes. Now go, you'll get late again and they will nag at you again." I chuckled.

He waved goodbye at me and closed the door.

As he was out of my sight, my shoulders became heavy. It drooped.

I sighed. I should get up and get some coffee.

I stood up from my bed and went to the kitchen to get a coffee.

.

It's already six and Yibo's not home yet. I unconsciously look at my phone. I sighed, I thought he will be going home early?

Just then my phone rang, I immediately answered.

"Zhan ge" He started.

"Yes?" I answered.

"I'm sorry, we have a meeting today with the upcoming event. I'll be home as soon as I finish. Okay? I love you." He said from the other line.

I was about to answer but he dropped the call.

I sighed for the hundredth time. I guess it's useless if I wait for him to go home.

I stepped on the shower and went straight to bed after.
