A/N: While I'm trying to concentrate on writing this chapter, outside in the courtyard the kids are on the playground and have been trying for over an hour to figure out who can scream the loudest of them while standing and jumping around on the wooden climbing castle. Sigh, I wish it would rain.

When Yibo landed in Taiwan with Zhan, they went outside where a rental car was already waiting for them. They got into the car and Zhan turned to Yibo. He took Yibo's hand, kissed it and said, "I wish you a happy birthday babe."

"Oh damn. That's right, it's my birthday. Thank you." Replied Yibo. In fact, with all his excitement over his first trip together with Zhan, he had forgotten his own birthday. This was despite the fact that he had been talking about it on and off for the past two weeks.

"Gladly. And to celebrate, I'll take you out downtown where you can buy whatever you want."

"What? No, I can't accept that."

"Well, bad luck. I won't take no for an answer. I want to spoil you today on your special day."

"If you want to spoil me, find us a room with a bed and I'll tell you exactly how to spoil me."

"Haha, yeah that will come later. Right now we're going shopping. And babe, there are lots of nice designer stores here that have super amazing clothes."

"Um, okay."

"Or don't you want to?"

"Yes I do. Thank you."

"Yibo, you need to stop thinking about what others might think of you."

"Yeah I know. But that's just the way I am."

"Mn. And that's why I'm telling you it's okay. You can accept my offer. It's my pleasure to make you happy. So let's go shopping now."

"Yes!" Replied Yibo with a bright smile. And as soon as the two arrived at the first designer store, Yibo found some great jeans and shirts that he really liked. Especially one of the tight jeans that especially emphasized his butt, he found super. He put them on and presented himself with them in front of Zhan, who immediately said that these black tight jeans should be bought.

Yibo was very happy about Zhan's reaction. Because he loves to provoke Zhan with his appearance and body, and encourage him to notice only him and no one else.

Even though this is Yibo's first relationship with a man and they haven't been a couple that long, Yibo is already completely used to it. He doesn't mind walking hand in hand with Zhan through the crowded alleys of downtown, nor does he mind kissing Zhan in front of others.

Meanwhile, even without Zhan's more detailed explanation, Yibo thinks he knows exactly what Zhan meant when he said to Yibo that he knows Yibo because he was once like him. Because just like Yibo, before his first relationship with a man, Zhan was only with women and also couldn't imagine doing anything with a man. But as soon as Zhan got involved with a man, nothing else came into question for him.

And that's how Yibo feels now. Suddenly he can't imagine ever being with a woman again. And not only because he loves Zhan by now and wants to stay with him anyway. But also because he feels as if he has finally arrived, as if he is someone he should have always been. He just didn't know it until now.

The two visited one designer store after another, and by now Yibo had several complete outfits together as the two stood in front of an exclusive tailor store that sells custom-made suits. "I want a suit like that, too." Yibo muttered when he saw one of the custom-made suits in the shop window.

"Then we'll have a suit made for you." Said Zhan. Yibo thought he had said it so quietly that Zhan couldn't understand him, so he was a little surprised, but was pleased and immediately ran into the store. Because one thing he always admired about Zhan was his great suits that seemed to fit every occasion.

The suit tailor took Yibo's measurements and had him explain exactly what the suit should look like, what fabric to use, and what color it should be. Zhan helped Yibo out with the selection, as this was all new to Yibo and his knowledge of it had been limited until now. The tailor then explained that it would take him about a week and then Yibo would have to come in for a fitting before the suit was completely finished and Yibo was happy. Because that means he and Zhan will be back here as early as next week.

Zhan promised him not only that they would also spend the coming weekend here in Taiwan, but also that they would spend the next weekend at a spa hotel where it would be just the two of them.

When the two then also had dinner in a restaurant, it was time to make their way to Zhan's sister. And when the two arrived at the rental car, Yibo refused to pack even a part of his new designer clothes and shoes into the trunk. Instead, he put all the bags of his new clothes on the back seat in the car. After all, his new babies can't just be lying in the trunk.

On the way to Zhan's sister's house, Yibo became very quiet. Because he was getting very nervous. After all, this is the first time he meets his boyfriend's big sister and first impressions are important after all. He didn't want Yanli to get a bad impression of him right away, so he thought about how to greet her and what to look out for.

Arriving at Yanli's house, however, Yibo still had no idea how to face Yanli. But fortunately, Yanli made it very easy for him. Because after effusively greeting Zhan with a tight hug, she also hugged Yibo and said, "I'm glad to finally meet you."

"Oh it's a pleasure for me too." Replied Yibo in relief as she hugged him tightly. She raked her arm with Yibo and took him inside while Zhan got Yibo's many shopping bags from the car.

What Yibo didn't know was that Yanli was even more nervous than he was. Ever since Zhan told her about his relationship with Yibo, she was all excited and looking forward to finally meeting Yibo. Because Yibo would be the first boyfriend of Zhan's that he would officially introduce as such.

Back when Zhan was in a relationship with Ten, Zhan kept it a secret and didn't want anyone to know about them. Yanli knew it anyway, because she knows her brother very well and saw that there was more than friendship between the two, but Zhan only admitted afterwards that the two had a relationship.

Therefore, it was very special for Yanli when Zhan informed her about his new relationship and told her that he would like to introduce him to her. It was immediately clear to her that Yibo must be someone very special. Because Zhan was not so easily impressed by others. Only rarely did anyone manage to arouse Zhan's interest at all.

As she sat with Yibo on the sofa in her living room, she took a closer look at Yibo and said with a big smile: "Wow, you are really cute and handsome. No wonder Zhan fell in love with you."

Yibo felt flattered. He was never arrogant, but when someone praised him for his looks, he was pleased. After all, he always paid close attention to his appearance. "Thank you." He replied shyly.

"I must confess, since Zhan told me about you, I had thought of quite a lot of questions to ask you. But now that you're here, I can't think of a single question. I must say, Zhan wasn't exaggerating when he told me about you."

"Did he tell you all about me?"

"Pretty much yes. I know how you guys met and that it had started slow with you."

"Right. So you know what job I did?"

"Yes. But don't worry. I'm not judging you for that. You needed to make money and you found what you thought was the best way to do it."

"Well, escort is a bad thing for a lot of people."

"That may be so. But not in our family. Even our dad booked himself escorts on a regular basis to keep our mom out of certain business meetings. And our mom also regularly used to go out with escorts."

"Ah, so that's where Zhan got it from."

"Mn. An escort is the ideal companion in many ways."

"True. We're professionals."

"Are you still working as an escort?"

"No. I'm currently taking professional dance training thanks to Zhan. And he doesn't want me to continue working as an escort either. But I always accompany him to his business dinners and stuff. But then as Zhan's boyfriend and not as an escort."

"I see. I can see from that how important you are to him."

"In what way?"

"Well, if you're escorting him as his boyfriend, then he's totally behind you and your relationship."

"Oh, right. He does."

"And was there a man you loved before Zhan?"

"No. Before Zhan, there was never another man. I've only ever had girlfriends."

"Oh, then that must have been a big change in your life."

"Mhhh, kind of not quite. I mean, sure at first it was weird for me to be so attracted to Zhan. But from our first kiss, it felt right to me. I had no problem admitting that I liked it a lot with Zhan. I got used to suddenly being interested in a man very quickly."

"So you're a bit like Zhan was back then."

"Yeah right."

"Yibo is just like I was. Only that he had no trouble accepting it and admitting in front of others that he likes a man." Said Zhan, who had taken the shopping bags to his and Yibo's room and now joined the two in the living room.

"Your situation was different then Zhan. You were younger than me, still studying, married and dependent on your father. I have not been all of that." Replied Yibo.

"Yes, that's right."

"And now you're not all those things either, and you can fully commit to our relationship and stand by it. Just like me."

"That's right."

"And Zhan?"

"Mn?"

"I would hunt you down for the rest of your life if you dumped me suddenly or for no reason! You got me addicted to you and now you have to take the consequences and keep me."

"Oh wow, haha. Okay then I better not do that and best to really keep you forever."

"Exactly! Because I would even follow you to hell just to mess you up."

"Don't worry okay? I'm not going to dump you. I'm going to keep you forever."

"I hope so."

"Hey, I even promise you that."

"Good, because I think you're a drug I couldn't be cured of."

"Oh damn you guys are cute. Listening to you two, my heart laughs. You two are really wonderful together." Yanli interjected with a laugh. She was just incredibly grateful to see the two of them so happily in love. She had wanted someone for Zhan for so long, someone who would make him happy and make him laugh. And now he seems to have found that person. Yanli is convinced that Yibo is the perfect partner for her little brother.

"Mn. We love each other very much." Said Yibo and reached for Zhan's hand. Zhan kissed his hand and nodded.

"That's right. We love each other very much." Replied Zhan.

"I am absolutely convinced of your love and I am very happy for both of you. Finally, my brother has found someone who matches his expectations and makes him happy. That really means a lot to me." Said Yanli smiling and meaning it.

"Thank you Yanli. And guess what, Cheng is with my brother." Replied Yibo with a grin.

"Oh Hai Kuan is your brother?"

"Mn. My big brother. I only found out about the two of them by accident when I visited my brother. He confessed to me that they've been a couple for over a year."

"I met your brother a few months ago. He is really very nice"

"Yes he is. I was just surprised when I found out he was dating a man. I didn't know he was gay."

"Maybe it's the same with your brother as it is with you?"

"No, he confessed to me shortly after I found out about the two of them that he always knew and that there was someone before Cheng."

"I see. Then I guess he didn't want anyone to know his secret."

"He said to me that he wanted to wait until he found someone he was sure it would last. And that's who Cheng seems to be for him now. From what I understand, he wants to talk to our parents soon now."

"Then the relationship is really important to him. Anyway, I got the impression that both of them are very serious about their relationship when I visited them together."

"Mn. I still need to talk to my parents too. Because I want them to know about Zhan and me. I would want to scream it out most of all. Because, well, I'm really very happy with Zhan and I want everyone to know that."

"Then shout it out as loud as you can." Yanli replied, giggling.

Zhan put his arms around Yibo and said, "I am also very, very happy with you Yibo. And I'm grateful every day that you fell in love with me." Yibo clung tightly to Zhan and nodded.

The tension and excitement before meeting Zhan's sister for the first time sank into Yibo more and more the longer they talked. He felt that he is accepted by Yanli and already he likes her very much. Soon he plans to tell his parents about his relationship with Zhan and hopes that they will take the news as well as Zhan's sister. But he is also sure that they will be shocked at first.

For now, though, Yibo doesn't want to worry about that. He wants to enjoy the time with Zhan and the weekend with Zhan's sister. Everything else will come later.

A/N: Great now that I'm done writing, it's quiet again outside and in the house.
