I Waited Where You Left Me / ZHANYI FF

They met too early- when neither of them knew what to do with what they felt.

Xiao Zhan fell quietly, without warning, without permission- and stayed, even when he shouldn't have.

Wang Yibo saw it, understood it... and chose to turn away.

Not because he didn't feel anything.

But because he felt too much.

So he left.

And in leaving, he erased everything- every glance, every moment, every possibility of them.

Xiao Zhan didn't.

He stayed.
He remembered.
He waited.

For nine years, they lived separate lives built on silence and choices they could never undo-

one learning how to bury the past, the other learning how to live with it.

But some stories don't end when people leave.

They wait.

And after nine years, a single invitation brings them back to the same place-
where everything they buried was still waiting...
