As Zhan was sitting in the bus stop in the evening and his head was still pounding from all the questions from Yu Bin, he was happy to see Zoey Meng back as well. He told her calmly what happened today and to his delight, he is apparently not the only one who has no idea who Wang Yibo is.

"Maybe we are too old to know who he is?" Zoey asked. Zhan nodded.

"I believe that, too. But I tell you, the boy is really convinced of himself and his idol status and believes everyone must know him." Zhan said, and at that moment, a bus was driving along the other side of the street and it had Wang Yibo on it.

With eyes wide open, Zhan pointed to the picture on the bus and stammered, "That, that's him. This Wang Yibo guy."

"Oh, I have seen his pictures many times. I just didn't know his name. But he looks kind of cute." Zoey replied.

"Cute? That can only come from women. I know no man who likes to be called cute."

"Mm, but you're cute, too."

"I am definitely not cute. I'm handsome, but not cute." Zhan replied seriously.

"Okay, you're right. But I think you're handsome and cute. Not many men can say that about themselves, Zhan."

"I'm not saying that about myself." Zhan responded, shaking his head.

When the bus arrived and the two of them got on the bus, Zoey Meng asked: "Say, what are you doing this weekend? Do you want to meet somewhere and talk about old times?"

Zhan thought about it for a moment and then had to cancel Zoey. "This weekend I am invited to a birthday party. My cousin's son is turning four."

"I was thinking more in the evening. And if you have a spare bed for me, we can get really drunk. Because I don't want to go home to my parents drunk and then have to listen to her bitching like when I was a teenager.

"Oh, wow. I only have a two-room apartment and not even a sofa in the living room. And I can't let you sleep in my bedroom either, because I only have a small bed there. It would be really awkward for me, despite our long friendship, if we were in the same bed."

"Hey, what's the big deal? Neither of us is a teenager anymore and neither of us is inexperienced."

"Uh, no. Don't mind Zoey. A friendship, yes, but that's all I'm asking for. And I'm not saying this because of my ex, but because I never saw more of you as a friend."

Although Zoey said she was okay with it and that she understood, her look said something else. It reminded Zhan back to school when Zoey wrote him a love letter and claimed afterwards that it was just a joke. Zhan never believed that it was just a joke.

When Zhan arrived home, he sat down in front of his TV to watch the latest news. But instead of the news, there was a commercial showing Wang Yibo. Zhan rolled his eyes, turned the TV off again and decided he might as well read the news on his laptop. But as soon as he opened the page, Wang Yibo, who was advertising Nike shoes, beamed at him. "Oh wow, great. Apparently there's only one model left in the whole country." Zhan said and switched to his social network.

Since his friends were still ignoring him, he occasionally read what they were doing on the social networks. And oh wonder, they wrote about Wang Yibo. "Are you serious?" He asked loudly, as if someone was there with him. And since he had enough Wang Yibo for one day, he decided to just listen to music.

The next day at work, Zhan's boss explained that the idea with the tape and the slogan on it was really good and he decided to put the design as it was in the competition for the project. He also had a new order right away. He and Yu Bin should create a design for advertising. When Zhan asked who exactly it was, his boss said: "Oh such a hip and popular young star. His name is Wang Yibo."
