It's Saturday and it's Yibo's most awaited day off. He and his colleagues decided to go shopping together. They were passing by stores while talking.
"Bro, let's sit there for a while!" Lay uttered, pointing at the bench in the middle of the hallway.
"Right, I'll buy us a drink as well, carry my things for me," Jackson Wang uttered and shove his things to Lay Zhang, then leave him struggling.
"H-hey! Wait, your things are going to fall!" As Lay tried holding his almost falling things. Yibo laughed and grabbed the others.
"He buys a lot, how can he hold them all at once?" Lay sighed as they went to the bench. They put down their things as they sighed in relief, they've been rounding the mall for almost two hours.
"Well, we just got our pay," Yibo shrugged.
"Right, anyway--" Lay was cut off when a scream of a kid interrupted them.
"Uncle! Uncle!"
Both looked in its direction. Yibo's eyes went wide, it was Xiang Xiang, and running after him is his butler.
"Young master!" He called to the kid, obviously getting tired since he's gasping for air.
"Oh, be careful!" Yibo exclaimed with a smile. The kid tripped between his legs.
"Uncle caught me!" Xiang Xiang giggled and hugged his waist with his little arms.
"Young master, please d-don't run like that... y-you might trip..." Justine gasped for air as he put his hands on his knees to support his body.
Yibo laughed, "Fancy seeing you here, little one," he ruffled Xiang Xiang's hair. Then turn his head to Justine, "Please have a seat, you must be tired," he chuckled as he offered a space for him.
"Oh, I'm okay. Mr. Yibo," he answered as he exhaled a deep breath before standing up.
"What a coincidence that we met here," Yibo smiled wide.
"You're nephew?" Lay asked, he notice the kid called him uncle earlier.
Yibo shook his head, "No, new friends of my nephews," he chuckled.
"Oh, he's attached to you," Lay tilted his head.
"Quite," He laughed.
"Kids loves you huh, wish I was too," Lay pouted.
Yibo just laughed at him. "Get married already, at least your kids will love you," he remarked.
"Mean!" Lay sulked. Just then, Jackson arrived with drinks in his hands.
"Oh, who might this kid be?" Jackson asked when he notices the kid that's hugging Yibo.
"Xiang Xiang!" Xiang Xiang introduced.
"Oh, cutie," Jackson chuckled and slightly pinched his cheeks. "Your nephew?" He asked.
"Ah, no. Friend of my nephews. Met him last week," He said patted his head. "By the way, what are you doing here at the mall?" Yibo asked the kid. The kid looked up and flashed a wide smile, "Play!" he giggled.
"The boss was supposed to be with him today, but he had urgent work and felt pity for his son to suddenly cancel his plans," Justine stated.
"Oh, that's sad," Jackson remarked.
"So he instructed me to shop with him and told me to let him buy whatever he wants," he scratches his head. "And...Uhm..." he was fidgety. He was holding a paper and looking around as if looking for something.
"What is it?" Yibo asked since he notices his uncomfortableness.
"Uhm, I need to buy the boss suppressants. It's a strong one so it's not easy to find," Justine sighed. "I feel bad for the young master, if he tags along with me, he might get bored," he added.
"Oh, want me to look for it for you?" Yibo offered.
"Ah, no. I might spoil your fun. In any case, C-can I let the young master tag along with you?" He pleaded.
"Oh, but is it okay? We might kidnap him?" Yibo jokingly uttered.
Justine gasp, "A-are you a bad person?" he asked a bit worried.
"Well, no," Yibo chuckled, "It's just that, is it okay to entrust me this kid?"
"Uhm... You look trusted Mr. Yibo. A-and the young master is fond of you. He's not clingy like that, that time I was surprised that he suddenly cling to you," Justine.
"Oh, is that so?" Yibo scratches his nape. "Well, I'll give you my number so you can contact me if you are done." Yibo gave him his phone and gave him his number.
"Thank you," he bowed, "Go enjoy with uncle first, I'll be right back," he bid goodbye to Xiang Xiang. Xiang Xiang waved back.
"Now then, where do you want to go?" Yibo asked the kid.
"Eat! Eat!" He cheered.
"Hey, Bo," Jackson suddenly interrupted. He looked at him, "Why?" he asked.
"The principal called, he needs a fill-in for one dance class," Jackson sighed, "Just when I'm in the middle of enjoying my day off," he groaned.
Yibo chuckled, "That's unfortunate, so you'll have to go?" he asked.
"Well, yeah," He sighed in frustration.
"Don't worry bro, I'll help you," Lay said and stood.
"You'll leave me here?" Yibo pouted.
"You have a kid to look after," Lay laughed.
Yibo looked down at Xiang Xiang. "Oh right," he answered. "Guess we'll be the only ones to explore," He smiled and ruffled the kid's hair.
"Then, we're on our way. Good luck with babysitting!" Jackson teased as he grabbed his things.
Yibo rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah. Good luck with your class," he chuckled and waved at them.
"Say bye-bye to uncles," he said to the kid. The kid giggled, "Bye-bye!" he waved his little hands.
.
The two went to a nearby restaurant, they sat across from each other.
"What do you want to eat?" He asked the kid.
"Baobao!" he giggled.
"Woah, you liked that, I like it too!" he chuckled, "What else?" he asked.
"Only baobao!" he answered with a wide smile. Yibo smiled at him then called the waiter.
After an hour they were done eating. Yibo carried Xiang Xiang in his arms as they wet out.
"Where to go next?" he asked the kid. The kid happily pointed at the play station for kids.
The day had passed quickly, the two spent their time together happily. They bought clothes, a matching one. They went to explore foods inside the mall. And they walk around. Xiang Xiang started to get tired as well. Just then,
Yibo's phone rang, it was Justine. He answered the call, "Uhm, where are you?" Justine asked from the other line.
"Oh, in front of xxx café," Yibo said.
"I'll be right there!" he answered from the other line then cut the call.
Not long after, Justine arrived. "Sorry it took too long," He apologized.
"Oh, it's okay. I had fun," Yibo smiled. "Well, seems like this kiddo is a bit tired already," he added.
"young master, shall we go? Daddy must be home already, you tired?" he asked the kid.
Xiang Xiang nodded slightly as he yawns. "Then, let's go," Justine said and held his hand. "thank you Mr. Yibo," he bowed.
"You're always welcome," Yibo answered with a smile on his face, he enjoyed much that he never felt the tiredness. He bowed at them then waved goodbye.
Yibo stretched his arm above his head, "Haah, the best day off ever," he mumbled to himself as he went on his way as well.
