Now that University started again, Xiao Zhan only works at the pet cafe on weekdays and help Zhuo Cheng out on weekends.

One week after University, Yibo found iut how popular Xiao Zhan is. He is the senior who everyone likes.

Wherever he goes, there are people around him, offering sweets, drinks, snacks, food and talking to him non-stop.

Yibo always finds himself in class alone, staring out of the window, just to see Xiao Zhan being confessed to or being taken care of.

Yibo's current class is on business management and he decided to go to the toilet because his lecturer is talking about his own life story.

Yibo halted when he heard Xiao Zhan's voice right around the corner. He peeked out to see a girl standing in front of Xiao Zhan.

"Z-Zhan Ge... I like you!" The girl suddenly said which made Yibo make a face. He has seen it countless times. Xiao Zhan always says "Thank you, but you should focus on your studies"

"Thank you, but you should focus on your studies" Xiao Zhan said with a smile and Yibo smirked proudly to himself.

"I-It's okay if you don't like me yet! I like you, Zhan Ge! Please give me a chance!" The girl said and Yibo rolled his eyes. So stubborn.

"Hui Hui" Xiao Zhan called which made Yibo narrow his eyes. Must he call others so intimately? No wonder they all fall for him!

"I'm only a poor kid who is above average looking. I'm struggling to earn and save money. I don't have the capability to date. Besides..." Xiao Zhan said but the girl interrupted him.

"I have money! Zhan Ge, you are kind, nice and you always help others! I have money, I won't be a burden to you!" The girl insisted.

'I have money too' Yibo rolled his eyes. But he still felt the atmosphere a little different. He was about to step out and drag Xiao Zhan away but Xiao Zhan spoke.

"I'm sorry. I have someone I like" Xiao Zhan said which made both Yibo and the girl stunned. Yibo started frowning.

"Z-Zhan Ge, if you like someone, how could that person not like you back? You're lying to me!" The girl whined.

"I told you, I don't have the capability to date. Besides... That person is too good for me" Xiao Zhan said and patted the girl on the shoulder before leaving.

Yibo clenched his fist tightly. So he rejected all those people because he have someone he likes? Who is it?

"What's wrong?" Seung Yeon asked as he sat down with Woo Seok. Yibo had a frowning face the whole time.

Yibo glanced at them and waved. "You're not telling us?" Woo Seok said, making Seung Yeon sigh and lean on him "Yibo doesn't treat us as his best friends.."

Yibo frowned even more seeing the two being lovey dovey. His displeased look made Seung Yeon clap his hand. "I know! Look at Yibo, he is sulking over being single!"

Yibo rolled his eyes and ate his food. When he was done, he looked away to see Xiao Zhan coming in with his friends.

They made eye contact and Xiao Zhan smiled at him but Yibo only looked away. Who on earth does Xiao Zhan like?!

Yibo stared into empty space and his eyes gradually found it's way to Xiao Zhan. Yibo frowned and sighed as he got up.

"I'm going back first. See you guys tomorrow" Yibo said and left. He was no longer in the mood to study.

Yibo returned home to see Nut and frowned. "You stupid cat! You take all of Zhan Ge's attention!" Yibo grumbled.

"Meow!" Nut meowed loudly at him and Yibo picked up the cat food, putting some in Nut's food bowl.

"You're getting more and more annoying, always climbing into Zhan Ge's bed!" Yibo poked Nut as Nut ate.

"Meow!" Nut tried using his paw to smack Yibo but Yibo took his hand away in time. Yibo was about to continue bullying Nut but he heard the door lock turning.

Xiao Zhan smiled the moment he came in. How could he not when he saw Yibo stroking Nut while feeding him?

"Good boy" Yibo stroked Nut's head. "Meow!" Nut meowed loudly at him, wanting to smack him again but Yibo moved.

"Yibo? Don't you have afternoon lesson?" Xiao Zhan asked, which made Yibo look at him. "Don't you have afternoon lesson too?"

Xiao Zhan rubbed the back of his head. The confession from the girl earlier made him miss a certain someone too much. He wanted to come home and feel comfortable knowing that certain someone's things were everywhere.

"Yibo, you must study hard-" Xiao Zhan started speaking but Yibo interrupted him with one word "Naggy"

Xiao Zhan smiled and went to sit beside Yibo. "Meow" Nut nudged his head against Xiao Zhan's leg which made Xiao Zhan smile and pet him, then play with him.

Yibo frowned at the two who seemed to be in their own world. Hence, Yibo poked Xiao Zhan's leg. "I'm hungry"

"I'll cook now!" Xiao Zhan immediately got up and went to the kitchen making Nut paw at his toy while saying lots of "Meow"

Yibo smirked proudly while look at Nut. Nut flipped his food and water bowl over and left, making Yibo grit his teeth "Stupid cat!"

Yibo quickly cleaned up the mess before going to the kitchen to watch Xiao Zhan cook. 'How nice' Yibo thought to himself.

Xiao Zhan seemed like a housewife cooking for his husband. Yibo then frowned again when he remembered the confession from earlier.

"Zhan Ge, do you have someone you like?" Yibo asked. Xiao Zhan who was excitedly frying some fried rice froze. Does Yibo have someone he like?
