"Yibo, are you thinking of dating? Now is not the time to date. You should focus on your-" Xiao Zhan said but was interrupted.

"Zhan Ge, do you have someone you like?" Yibo asked again. Xiao Zhan took a few deep breaths before he turned around with a small smile. "No"

Xiao Zhan then turned back to fry his rice. Yibo frowned. Xiao Zhan gathered his courage and asked "Yibo, you... You have someone you like?"

Xiao Zhan held his breath, waiting for a reply but nothing came. Xiao Zhan was about to turn when his waist was grabbed and he was forcefully turned.

Xiao Zhan let out a yelp and blushed, especially when Yibo's face was right in front of him.

"You lied" Yibo said. That smile Xiao Zhan gave him was obviously forced, different from those he showed everyday.

Under Yibo's sharp glare, Xiao Zhan could only nod slowly. "Am I not a trustworthy person?" Yibo asked and Xiao Zhan immediately replied "You are!"

"Then am I not someone you can talk to?" Yibo asked again and Xiao Zhan immediately replied again "You are!"

"Then why did you lie?" Yibo asked and Xiao Zhan quickly came up with some things "B-Because I don't want to set a bad example to you who should be studying and-"

"Who do you like?" Yibo asked in the midst of Xiao Zhan's ramble and Xiao Zhan who was too caught up in his words, blurted "You"

There was a silence that followed and only the low sizzling of the forgotten fried rice sounded in the air.

Xiao Zhan had an upset face as he dejectedly moved one of Yibo's arm away to leave "I-If you find it disgusting, I will move out-"

Yibo came to his senses and fiercely hugged Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan who did not expect a back hug was thrown forward, and then wrapped securely in two strong arms.

"What a coincidence... I feel the same way" Yibo said in Xiao Zhan's ear which made Xiao Zhan widen his eyes in shock, then crinkle them as he giggled.

What a way to speak of his feelings! "What same way?" Xiao Zhan asked, obviously teasing Yibo, but he wanted to hear those words from Yibo's mouth.

"I like you" Yibo said as he turned Xiao Zhan around, giving in to Xiao Zhan's tease. He was in cloud nine knowing that the one Xiao Zhan likes is him.

Xiao Zhan was dazzled by the handsome young man in front of him with a sincere look in his eyes as his heart pounded even faster.

"What about you?" Yibo asked and Xiao Zhan's smiling face slowly disappeared. "Y-Yibo... I'm not in the position to date"

"Why?" Yibo frowned. "I have no time" Xiao Zhan said and Yibo's frown disappeared "I have time. I can accompany you"

"I have no money" Xiao Zhan said and Yibo nonchantly replied "I have money." Yibo had long decided that even if Xiao Zhan had schemed everything, he would be a willing victim.

"I don't want to be a burden" Xiao Zhan frowned. Yibo shook his head and replied "Not at all", making Xiao Zhan speechless.

"You should focus on your studies" Xiao Zhan said as he lifted his index finger but Yibo wrapped his hand around Xiao Zhan's index finger. "I can handle it"

"You..." Xiao Zhan stuttered and Yibo took a step closer "Zhan Ge, I like you. Do you like me?"

Xiao Zhan looked aside with a small blush as he nodded his head and replied "Yes..." Yibo smiled and hugged him, making Xiao Zhan stunned with the smile.

"So we are together now" Yibo said and Xiao Zhan gave in, hugging Yibo tightly. "Yes... Boyfriends..." Xiao Zhan said as he enjoyed Yibo's warm hug.

"Ahh!" Xiao Zhan suddenly shouted. "The fried rice!" He exclaimed when he smelled a burnt smell disrupting Yibo's nice scent.

Xiao Zhan wriggled his way out of Yibo's arms and quickly turn the fire off. Xiao Zhan pouted at his burnt fried rice.

"Zhan Ge, we rarely have an afternoon free at the same time" Yibo said and Xiao Zhan tilted his head in question.

"Let's eat out" Yibo said and Xiao Zhan frowned "Yibo, you're thinking of spending money"

"Zhan Ge, I have money that I earned myself. I can afford it. Besides, it is our first meal since we started dating. I'm not taking no as an answer" Yibo said as he pulled Xiao Zhan by the hand while leaving the house.

Xiao Zhan helplessly smiled as he watched Yibo dragged him. "Okay, but Zhan Ge will treat this first meal. I'm not taking no as an answer" Xiao Zhan said.

Yibo abruptly stopped and turned to look at Xiao Zhan. "Zhan Ge..." Xiao Zhan giggled and pulled Yibo.

"Zhan Ge..." Yibo called out and stopped when they reached a high end restaurant. It was obvious that a meal here can cost half of the money Xiao Zhan earns in a month.

"Yibo, since I was young, I always saw people eating yummy food in here. My dream is to try it" Xiao Zhan said.

Seeing Yibo being hesitant, Xiao Zhan went to him and nudged his shirt "Yibo... You're right. This is our first meal since we are boyfriends. I want it to be special"

"Come, Zhan Ge has saved up money" Xiao Zhan said and headed into the restaurant. However, the waitress did not let them in since they did not book a seat.

Yibo whipped out his black card that he recently got, and there is only 5 in the whole world. The waitress immediately let them in.

Xiao Zhan's jaw dropped. Who doesn't recognise that card? It made such a big deal when it was released. Everyone talked about it for a week.

Xiao Zhan stared dumbfoundedly at Yibo who walked in like it was nothing. He understood that he just got a rich boyfriend. Very very very very rich.

They then sat down and ordered the course meal. While waiting, the two were just staring lovingly at each other.

Yibo went to grab Xiao Zhan's hand, making Xiao Zhan panick and blush. "Y-Yibo, we're outside..."

Yibo looked around. It was slightly after lunch hours, hence there were very few people around. "There's no one here" Yibo said.
