"I'm sorry for saying such rude things before," Xiao Zhan apologized as he fidles with his fingers and glances at Yibo from time to time. The said man was silent for a while and gave a short sigh afterwards, "No, I should be the one apologizing. I'm sorry, I was sticking my nose where it doesn't belong."

Xiao Zhan smiled slightly,"I'm so indebt to you ah. But it's a good thing that you did, who knows what will happen to me."

"Be careful next time, and I'm not asking for any payment."

Silence filled the air between them once more and Xiao Zhan shifted from his seat and said, "I'm glad you listened to me."

"Of course, I can't stand someone in pain," Yibo said as he looked directly at the former president's eyes. "From now on, I really hope you don't burden yourself like this. I know it's very hard to tell it, but it's better to let it out than keeping it to yourself. You always have someone to talk to. Zhuocheng-ge and your other close friends. I'm pretty sure they're worrying a lot now. Even I..."

Xiao Zhan couldn't help but smile, "Thanks, Yibo. I didn't know you could say such words. Truly sweet ah," he teased slightly and the vice president's face frowned for a bit. "Zhan-ge, this is serious."

"I was just trying to lighten the mood. Besides, you're calling me Zhan-ge!" He gasped happily as he slammed both of his hands at the desk in surprise, others turned to look at their direction. "Then what should I call you, princess?"

The vice president's face brightens but Xiao Zhan brows immediately furrowed in a bit of annoyance. "I am a man!"

"Yes, I know," as Yibo drank his glass of water, he was also covering the smirk from on his face. "By the way, how's everyone?" Xiao Zhan whispered as he composed himself. His beautiful black orbs drifted outside the window pane, shining with the setting sun. "They're working hard and trying their best but they want their president back," Yibo slightly coughed and whispered, "our president." Xiao Zhan just smiled a little but didn't look at Yibo. "I failed everyone."

"You didn't and I'm not forcing you, it's your decision to go back but right now everything is a bit out of place. He Peng isn't managing things that well," he explained and continued, "Also, I think it's also a good thing for you to take a break. You've been through a lot."

"Aiya, what did I even do good?" Xiao Zhan rested his chin at his palm and sighed softly. "You're doing everything you can to help everybody. It's really a gift. Not everyone is like that."

Xiao Zhan was silent for a while but then spoke, "I have an idea."

Wang Yibo looks at him and anticipated for his next words. "How about you become the president? Overthrow He Peng's position."

After hearing his words, the vice president's eyes widen in surprise, "No, I can't faciliate everything. I'm just someone who follows the president's orders."

"Really?" Xiao Zhan smirked, "Do you listen to He Peng?"

"Of course not," he quickly answered and the former president gave a chuckle. "See? Take his spot!"

"I... Then what will you do if I become the president?"

"Become a regular student ah, besides, I'm about to graduate anyway," Xiao Zhan replied as he takes a bite from his muffin. "I see... Is that what you want?"

The former president looks at Yibo with the corner of his lips forming a genuine smile. "I've thought about it before, I want you to be the council president."

Wang Yibo doesn't know what to say and his heart was thumping crazily. Is this even normal? The younger can't believe that Xiao Zhan actually thought of giving him the position as a president. Yibo knows himself that he isn't sociable nor approachable. But why did Xiao Zhan decide that? It was a very huge responsibility.

"I believe in you, Yibo. It seems like you didn't notice it but you're really a reliable person. You do things diligently and finishes them on time. Even if we never got along in the first place, you still listen to my orders despite complaining sometimes. I'm actually very thankful to have you as my vice president. You've helped me a lot."

Wang Yibo averted his gaze puts a hand on his mouth, he really doesn't know what to say. Damn this wasn't good at all. "Wait, you're blushing?" Xiao Zhan said in amazement as he saw how Yibo's ears were flushed and he couldn't help but smile.

"Aiya, so the great Wang Yibo can actually react like that?" Xiao Zhan didn't know why but he felt extremely elated seeing how embarrassed the junior was. "Don't say my name..." Yibo whispered as he lowered his head and Xiao Zhan leans forward with his pouty lips. "Not again, hey look at me," he teased as he unconsciously holds Yibo's hand that was covering half of his face. With a swift motion, he takes Yibo's hand away, their eyes locked together and Xiao Zhan realized how attractive and handsome the vice president was. He was mesmerized by the sight in front of him, before he could mutter a word, his footing slipped and accidentally leans more forward. Both of their eyes widen in surprise in a second with the sudden turn of events. "Ay-mmf!"

"Ah, you really don't have to," Xiao Zhan whispered as Yibo invited him inside his condo. "It's safer," Yibo replied simply and puts the other bag of Xiao Zhan at the couch. The younger didn't say anything anymore as he made his way inside the bathroom.

So basically, Xiao Zhan was feeling awkward, what happened earlier at the cafe wasn't really the best. When he slipped, he accidentally gave Yibo's shoulder a kiss with the water spilling on the younger's pants as if he peed on himself. Xiao Zhan panicked as he quickly takes a tissue and directly pressed down near Yibo's crotch in attempt to dry off the wet spot. Things have gotten a lot more awkward and upon realizing what he was actually doing, he immediately pulled away, Yibo looked stiff like a rock and his aura was somewhat heavy that Xiao zhan couldn't describe. Aiya, I've totally angered this junior this time...

And now, the former president has been invited by the vice president to stay at his place for a while since it was a bit of trouble to travel to Zhuocheng's place. Xiao Zhan slapped both of his cheeks and tried to calm himself. He takes out his phone and texted Zhuocheng that he's going to stay at Yibo's place for the night. Xiao Zhan was really amazed how huge his condo unit was and it's very clean. Everything was in place and he thought that his bodyguard was probably at their main house since no one was here. A huge place with only one person staying in, isn't that quite lonely? Xiao Zhan wasn't a fan of staying big apartments or hotels or whatever that was, since he's a person who doesn't want to feel alone in a huge place with no one to talk to. Because if he did, he'll probably get mad as he tries to talk to himself with his own voice echoing through the empty walls.

Xiao Zhan sighs as he pulled his knees together to his chest. He doesn't really know what to do since he clear messed up the good atmosphere around them earlier. Hopefully, Yibo could for give him on what he did.

As a clicking sound was heard, Wang Yibo steps out from the shower and Xiao Zhan didn't immediately look at him since he's was probably only wearing a towel at his waist. He slightly glanced at the side and saw that the junior was already wearing a new and fresh set of clothes. Xiao Zhan doesn't know why but he felt a bit of disappointment. He pinched and gave his forehead a smack.

"What's wrong?" The deep voice of Yibo made Xiao Zhan flinch, he was definitely startled and actually embarrassed since he really looked like an idiot smacking himself. "A-Ay, nothing. I'm perfectly... Fine." He stuttered and gave him a smile as he quickly averted his gaze when their eyes met.

Wang Yibo just raised his other eyebrow slightly in confusion as he dries his hair with a clean white towel. "Do you want to take a bath? I'll get a new set of clothes for you."

"Oh, maybe later," he replied as he rubs his nape. "Ah, Yibo. About earlier, I'm really sorry." Wang Yibo paused slightly and looked at him. Xiao Zhan can't really tell when the younger's eyes were telling him but it was probably something. "It's fine," he simply said and sat beside Xiao Zhan, there was actually a huge gap between them since the couch was pretty long.

"So are we good now?" Xiao Zhan asked as he tilts his head adorably, as if trying to peek at Yibo's lowered head who was drying his hair. Wang Yibo felt his heart started thumping at the action of the former president and gave an awkward cough. "Yes... We are."

Xiao Zhan brightens and cheered a, "Yey!"

"I am friends with the great Wang Yibo," he chuckled as he lazily rested his head at the couch. The vice president actually doesn't know what to say.

"You're probably hungry," he said rather quickly as he stood up from his seat. "Ah? I'm not-" He was immediately cut off when his stomach made a loud growl. Xiao Zhan's face brightens with the shade of agate and awkwardly laughs. "Y-You didn't hear anything."

Yibo had already calmed down from his beating heart that was racing, he smirked at his upperclassman and said,"Be a good princess and wait for your meal."

"You-!" Xiao Zhan can't argue anymore when Yibo already went to the kitchen and his stomach started growling again. This is truly so embarrassing ah!

• • •

"You're not gonna report Zue Fai?" Yibo asked as he placed his utensils at the side of his plate. He saw how Xiao Zhan flinched and he immediately added,"Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned his name-"

"It's alright, besides, I should really stop feeling traumatized," Xiao Zhan said as he gulps a bit. "Don't bottle it up, you don't have to take a huge step already. We can take this slow," Yibo encouraged and he unconsciously brushed his hands with Xiao Zhan in attempt to comfort him, once again, the said man flinched and backs his hand away slightly. "Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to..." Xiao Zhan stuttered and apologized to Yibo.

The vice president shooked his head and said, "No, I- Sorry, I unconsciously tried to hold your..."

Xiao Zhan muttered a, "Thanks," but Yibo didn't hear it since it was to soft. The former president coughed and said, "I wanted to but there's no evidence anymore. That was 3 years ago."

Wang Yibo pursed his lips slightly, he thought of an idea but it wasn't really the best. "The pictures..." He mumbled and Xiao Zhan's eyes casted down at the half finished meal in front of him.

"There's also a video," he said dryly and Yibo was surprised, "What?" He growled as he clenched his fists tightly that he almost had the urge to slam them at the dining table. "He Peng also has it. It seems like he got to knew Zue Fai about it."

"That bastard- I'll-" It was Xiao Zhan's turn to make a move and grasped Yibo's hand. "Hey, we can plan this out," he said with a small smile and Wang Yibo calmed down with the sudden warmth of the other hand, "together."
