I know... I had always been stubborn everytime I face you.

"Ge, why do you care about what they say?! We should fight for our happiness! Are you satisfied with us always in hiding?!" Wang Yibo asked Xiao Zhan during their break in a variety show.

Xiao Zhan paused in his movements. Fortunately, the makeup artists left for them and their assistants were not around. Or else... he looked at Wang Yibo standing in front of him, looking at him in indignation. Xiao Zhan's usually bright and smiling face slowly turned cold as his eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Wang Yibo. "Did you misunderstand something?" He asked, his cheerful voice turned to a cold one. He remembered, when they starred in a drama The Untamed, it was the other who has a cold character while he has the lively one. However, look how their tables turned. "There had never been an 'us'." He told him, then withdrew his sight. He looked at himself reflected in the mirror.

"Ge...?" Wang Yibo called, his face and voice filled with confusion.

"I am retiring." Xiao Zhan said.

Wang Yibo's eyes went wide. "What?! Retiring?! Why?! You're just 30 - " he said, shocked. He stepped forward to Xiao Zhan and raised his hand to touch him. However, Xiao Zhan's voice made his body and blood freeze in cold.

"I... am going back to my hometown... and get married." Xiao Zhan said, his voice low. He saw in the corner of the mirror Wang Yibo's dumbstruck face.

"Getting married...?" He asked, his voice slow as he digest Xiao Zhan's words.

Xiao Zhan didn't answer and just remained silent. Wang Yibo's eyes became narrower. He grabbed Xiao Zhan's arm and pulled him towards him, making Xiao Zhan's body lean to him. However, Xiao Zhan was just like a puppet as he let him yanked his body.

"What do you mean... you're going to get married?" Wang Yibo asked, mad, as he gritted his teeth in anger. Then - "Then what about me?" He asked, his voice suddenly sounded on the verge of breaking. He pressed his trembling lips tight, forcing a sob not to come out of his lips that's always calling the heartless man in front of him.

"... there's nothing between us." Xiao Zhan said, his voice almost turned into a whisper. "You greatly misunderstood me." He said and raised his face to look at Wang Yibo's face, tears streaming from his eyes to his cheeks as he silently cried in front of him, standing and his face and eyes full of grievance and look of being betrayed. However, Xiao Zhan was unmoved. "I am sorry for causing this misunderstandi - " he said, his emotionless voice suddenly stopped when the arm Wang Yibo was holding suddenly fell. He looked at Wang Yibo's hand that was holding his arm earlier. It is in the air, still looked like it was still holding something.

However, like his situation now, Wang Yibo - his hand lost something very important. He lost his life, his heart. He lost Xiao Zhan. Ge... he thought as he stared at Xiao Zhan's expressionless face. If I just had been more careful... more mature... had our relationship not noticed... would you have stayed with me longer?

Forever?
