Arriving in Beijing, Zhan first saw advertisements and posters everywhere for a new concert by an idol calling himself YZ. Zhan shook his head and got into a cab, which Ella had called in the meantime.

"Who is this YZ again, please?" Zhan asked, seeing the mysterious posters everywhere.

"Oh he's great. A super singer, dancer and actor. He looks Mega Hot and is giving exactly one concert here. I have two tickets for the front row. If you want, come with me."

"Mhhh, you know how I think about concerts. All those screaming young girls, the loud music. And besides, I'm out of the age where I go to concerts like that."

"Zhan please. Think of it as my reconciliation gift."

"So your reconciliation gift is to torture me with a concert of an idol I don't know?" the cab driver had to laugh briefly when he heard what Zhan said.

Ella ignored the cab driver and said to Zhan, "Oh come on. I got the tickets as a gift from my boss and I don't want to let them expire uselessly."

"Alright Okay. But this is the last time." Replied Zhan, practically giving up without a fight, which confused Ella a lot. Because she doesn't know Zhan like that.

Arriving at Ella's new house that she and her husband bought just before the wedding, the two had a beer and then started getting dressed for the concert. Zhan had little desire to go, but why that was, he wouldn't tell Ella for now.

Instead, Zhan put on a good face and they took a cab to the concert hall at 7 pm. The concert hall where he saw Yibo live on stage for the first time. Where Yibo read from his book and outed himself as a fan of Zhan. The concert hall with the dressing room where Zhan got his first kiss from Yibo.

Just like then, there were a lot of young screaming girls standing in front of the entrance. They wriggled impatiently until it was their turn to enter the concert hall. Only this time there were significantly fewer fans than on his first visit here.

After Zhan and Ella were allowed to enter the concert hall, they went to their seats at the very front. Zhan did his best to look annoyed and act as if he didn't know what was going to happen here tonight.

Promptly at 8:30 pm, the lights went down and the concert began. A man wrapped in a black coat and with his hood pulled deep into his face entered the stage. He was dancing along with a group and Zhan kept shaking his head. "What's the matter? Are you really that annoyed?" Asked Ella.

"I'm annoyed by what's about to happen." Replied Zhan, looking deeply into Ella's eyes. "Do you think I don't know who YZ is? You think I don't recognize my own fiancé?"

"Zhan, how did..."

"Never mind how I know. The fact is that I know you guys talked and you were so wrong with your guess! I have no doubts about the relationship and it's not about getting married!" Said Zhan. The next moment the man on stage revealed his face and Zhan looked up to the stage unimpressed.

A date appeared on the display board behind Yibo. 05.09.2020. Yibo looked at Zhan and smiled. A staff member came up to Zhan, gave him a mic and left. Yibo took his mic and said, "ZhanZhan, surely you remember the first time you saw me up here. At that time, I immediately went into the full at you and immediately made it clear what I wanted from you. Since then, however, I've kept you waiting with everything concerning us, even though I've always loved you more than anything else. I am sorry that I kept you waiting so long. I want you to know that I am still serious about you and I love you even more than ever. You are and will always be my number one. I know that there is an event that you are still waiting for. Namely, that we will finally get married. This date here behind me is my suggestion Zhan. Let's both get married on this date. What do you think? Do you agree?"

Zhan raised the mic, smiled and said, "My answer is, no!"

A gasp and murmur went through the aisles. Yibo looked at Zhan blankly. Ella couldn't even get her mouth to close. Yibo swallowed hard and asked, "Why not? Why don't you want to marry me all of a sudden?"

Zhan got up from his seat, walked to the stage and climbed up, stood in front of Yibo and explained, "I didn't say I didn't want to marry you at all. I just don't want this day. It could be any day, doesn't matter if it's today, tomorrow or a year from now, I would always say yes. But only if it's what you really want. And not because my best friend is telling you that I'm not well, because you haven't married me yet."

"What? How do you know about my conversation with Ella?"

"I already told you 2 months ago that you need to buy a new phone because your phone often messes up and keeps calling me by itself. And so it was again the day you went to see my best friend and asked her for advice. That you ask, because you care, is great. But next time, ask me yourself. Because Ella hasn't contacted me in almost a year. How could she know what's really going on with me? Besides, YZ? Really? You think I don't know that this stands for YiZhan?"

"ZhanZhan, what's wrong with you? I hardly recognize you lately. I'm worried about you and our relationship. You keep getting absent, sad, and thoughtful. And I thought Ella had some advice for me on how to make you happy again."

"Yibo, I love you more than anything. You mean everything to me and are my life. I am happy when you are. I'm so happy to see you back on stage and in front of the camera. You are finally the happy Yibo I met and fell in love with so much. That I am not well at the moment is not because of you or because we are not married yet. It's because of me alone. At the moment I can't cope with myself. Because for the first time an artist's block hit me. I can't draw and I can't write. This frustrates me and makes me sad. My work with my mentor has ended and I'm home alone a lot. Too much time to think. Too much time to stare at the screen in front of a blank page or a blank canvas. For me, this is hard. I try to distract myself, to do other things. But in the end, I end up sitting there again, staring at the blank screen. Maybe I also wish you would have just taken me with you, shown me your world, shown me around. Everyone knows about us. So why haven't you even taken me with you? Why do I have to stay home and wait for your call, like we're doing something forbidden? You and me, we're not a secret anymore."

"I didn't know you had artist's block. But I should have known, because you haven't painted a new picture or written anything in months. I'm sorry I was so inattentive. And I didn't know you'd want to join me either. You always said you didn't like show business. And I didn't think you would be interested in accompanying me."

"Yibo, everything you do interests me. I want to know your world. I know I should have talked to you about my block and also said I wanted to accompany you. But I was hoping that this time you would come up and talk to me on your own. Instead, you talked to Ella, who hasn't contacted me in a year. Who has no idea what's going on inside me and didn't even care until you showed up at her door. I really love Ella, but as long as she doesn't approach me, I can't believe that she is serious, just like I can't believe that you are serious about the wedding date. Because in my opinion, you still need time. You've only just started back into show business and you should be concentrating on that and not on a wedding. It can wait. Because it doesn't change anything about our feelings for each other just because we're waiting to get married. I love you either way. I'm not leaving you just because I'm waiting for the wedding. You just mean everything to me and nothing and no one, can destroy my love for you unless you do it."

Yibo took Zhan in his arms and hugged him tightly. "I love you so much Zhan and I promise you that from now on, I will always come and talk to you first. I didn't want to ignore you this way. I really thought this is what you wanted."

"It's wonderful Yibo. I really like it. But it would be nicer if it had occurred to you on your own and you hadn't gone at it with the mistaken belief that it was about our marriage. Of course I want to marry you, absolutely, but only when you are really 100% ready."

Yibo gave Zhan a kiss on the forehead, looked deep into his eyes and said, "Marry me Zhan. I am ready to marry you. No matter when, I'm ready. Not just 100% but a whole 1000% ready to become your husband. For my sake, let's go straight to the airport from here, fly to Las Vegas, and get married right away."

"What?"

"Marry me Zhan. I'm completely serious. Marry me!"

"Yibo I..."

"You said it doesn't matter when we get married, today, tomorrow or a year from now. Well, let's get married tomorrow in Las Vegas. Let's not put it off any longer and finally take that step. And from now on, accompany me everywhere. Because I find nothing more beautiful than having you by my side all the time."

Fans cheered and chanted to Zhan, "Say yes, say yes, say yes." They held up YiZhan placards and banners and kept chanting and chanting.

Zhan cleared his throat, looked around at their fans, there were exclusively YiZhan fans in the hall, then looked at Yibo and said, "Yes."

Yibo immediately threw his arms around Zhan again and hugged him so tightly that it almost hurt Zhan. Then he gave Zhan a kiss, which completely freaked out the YiZhan fans, who clapped, shouted and stomped on the floor in unison, and then Yibo said, "You still owe me a duet. Let's wow our fans together today, and tomorrow we'll get married."

And so Zhan and Yibo stood on stage together, singing a few ballads together, Yibo dancing around Zhan and stealing a kiss from him every now and then. The fans of the two, would not forget this evening so quickly and talk about it for a very, very long time.
