"Do you like it? Sorry, it's probably not much, but ... once I saw this, it just reminded me of you."

You almost changed your mind about giving the watch to him, a thank you gesture as well as belated birthday gift. You knew well he was rich, you had no idea what thing he possibly didn't have yet.
You just hoped the present wouldn't be too personal nor mundane.
He must have owned several from the mid and high range, you saw him alternating between different brands, -which out of your budget, so you just decided on the lower range.

He seemed like observing the watch with unreadable expression, touching the stainless chain with a kind of soft look before looked up and smiled to you.

"I like it. Not my usual dial color, I wouldn't think I like red, until now. Thank you. You don't have to give anything actually, but ..."

He clasped it and and put the watch back in the leather box.

"It will be one of my favorite."

He just picked you up from your apartment to go for dinner in a restaurant owned by his friend. It was his birthday, and since Yixing was busy with work, you practically had nothing to do. Besides, you wanted to thank him for his help to get the venue for your wedding.

"I'll come, but unfortunately, I will be alone."

"It's okay. You can come with your friend, more than two is okay."

"I broke up with her."

It took you by surprise, you looked at his face, which almost impassive. The break up must be recent, he never said anything about it.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, it's just that ... it's been only a week. I'm still making some adjustment of back to singlehood."

"Why did you break up with her?"

Your unintentional question got him looked at you with obvious surprise, you hastily changed the subject.

"I'm sorry, you don't have to answer if uncomfortable."

"No, it's allright."

He started the engine with eyes trained at the front, stalling for a few seconds before answering,
