Wang Yibo's house is a two-story duplex villa with a cool color tone. After the entrance came the living room, although it had all the necessary furniture, it looked empty because of how the space was reasonably arranged.
Xiao Zhan didn't feel comfortable doing more observations, after walking inside alongside Wang Yibo, he stood by the sofa.
Wang Yibo was answering the phone.
"Mn, alright, send it to me, okay."
With a few words, Wang Yibo hung up in less than a minute.
He turned his head to face Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Zhan immediately stood properly.
Wang Yibo, "I have something to do right now, for work."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Mn."
After speaking, he led Xiao Zhan upstairs. They passed through a hallway, then stood at the door of a room.
Wang Yibo, "This is the bedroom."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Mn."
Wang Yibo, "The study is next door, come find me if you have any questions."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Mn."
Just like that, Wang Yibo left to do work.
Without him here, Xiao Zhan felt a lot more comfortable. He entered the bedroom, closed the door, took a long breath of relief, and turned on the lights.
The simple furnish style particularly matched Wang Yibo's temperament. Xiao Zhan took a look around and admired the precious decorations on the shelves and the famous paintings on the walls.
There is a bathroom in the bedroom, Xiao Zhan stopped lingering, pulled out a chair and put his bag on it.
As if he were on a business trip, he brought the set of travel-specified toiletries from home, it was a big whole bag.
Only after he brought the toiletries into the bathroom, he realized that he didn't bring his pajamas.
Xiao Zhan stood in front of the bathroom mirror while holding his things and spent a few seconds in daze.
He usually doesn't need to bring pajamas on business trips, he goes to bed in a pair of underwear, or at most, he'll add a pair of pants.
So like this, he forgot about it when he came here.
Xiao Zhan tilted his head toward himself in the mirror, and looked at the time on his watch, which showed 11 o'clock.
Might as well go home to get it.
He put away his things, walked out of the bedroom, and knocked on the door of the study.
There was no movement inside, but Xiao Zhan remembered Wang Yibo said just now that he can come find him if there are any problems. If so, the him right now probably isn't an interruption.
Thus, he slightly opened the door and poked his head in.
Wang Yibo was sitting in front of the desk with his head lowered looking at his computer. Probably because he heard something from his side, he slightly lifted his head.
Xiao Zhan slowly and cautiously squeezed into the study. Seeing that Wang Yibo didn't seem to show a negative expression, he walked over quietly.
Wang Yibo was wearing earbuds and did not speak after Xiao Zhan walked over so Xiao Zhan assumed it's inconvenient for him to talk at the moment. He must be in a video conference or something else.
Wang Yibo raised his head, as if asking Xiao Zhan what's wrong.
Xiao Zhan felt that it must be inappropriate to speak right now. So he glanced around, took a blank sheet of paper from the printer and drew a pen from the pen holder.
【I forgot to bring my pajamas, gonna take a trip home】
After he finished writing, he moved to the side of the desk in small steps, squatted down, and passed the paper to Wang Yibo.
The desk was neither tall nor short. After Xiao Zhan squatted down, the edge of the table just reached his neck. Wang Yibo took the paper and read the words on it. He was about to speak but after he turned his head and was met with Xiao Zhan's face full of expectation. Xiao Zhan had both hands on the desk, his chin resting on his hands and was blinking while staring at him.
Wang Yibo swallowed his words and couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth. Then, he pulled on Xiao Zhan's finger.
Xiao Zhan received his signal and passed the pen over.
Wang Yibo wrote his response under the sentence written by Xiao Zhan.
【No need to go back, wear mine】
He handed the paper over, but this Xiao Zhan seemed to be afraid of something, he only stretched out one hand, and quickly took the paper.
Wang Yibo took a glance at the computer, then another glance at Xiao Zhan, and sort of understood. Xiao Zhan mistakenly thought he was in a video call and was worried that he would enter the scene.
Xiao Zhan had already begun continuing to write. Wang Yibo stared at Xiao Zhan's drooping eyes and did not interrupt him, nor did he explain that he was only looking at a powerpoint.
Xiao Zhan lowered his head as he wrote, and after he finished writing, he passed the paper back to Wang Yibo. Since Wang Yibo only turned on a single lamp and Xiao Zhan's position was at the junction of light and dark. When he looked over, it was an image where half of Xiao Zhan was in the light and the other half was in the shadow.
Wang Yibo dangled his hand over the keyboard and didn't click next slide for a long time.
He zoned out watching Xiao Zhan, so when Xiao Zhan raised his head, their eyes met for a few seconds longer. Xiao Zhan noticed that something was unusual, so he passed the paper over a bit more and smiled politely at Wang Yibo.
Wang Yibo collected his gaze, took the paper and read the words on it.
【Won't that be too troublesome? I will return very quickly】
He replied.
【Open the closet, the shelf of the far left are all pajamas, go pick one】
Wang Yibo passed the paper over and Xiao Zhan received it.
【Ok, thank you】
Logically speaking, after Xiao Zhan finishes this last sentence, he can leave. He was also about to stand up when he saw Wang Yibo taking the paper back and began writing again.
So he can only continue to wait.
A few seconds later, Wang Yibo passed the paper back, Xiao Zhan borrowed some light and lowered his head to read.
【Everything in the bathroom can be used】
Xiao Zhan replied to him.
【Ok】
Wang Yibo wrote again.
【I will take a while longer, if you're sleepy, you can sleep first】
Xiao Zhan replied to him.
【Ok】
Wang Yibo suddenly asked.
【Squatting for so long, aren't your legs numb?】
Xiao Zhan flamed in his mind, actually, he didn't need to squat for so long, isn't this because you, President Wang, suddenly decided to start chatting?
【It's not numb, then I'll go shower, you've worked hard】
Wang Yibo finally stopped writing, he took Xiao Zhan's paper and nodded to him. Xiao Zhan received the signal and stood up.
He just said his legs aren't numb and like retribution, when he stood up, it felt like there were a thousand ants nibbling on his leg.
However, since it had already been said, in order to show that his legs really didn't feel numb, he endured the pain, waved goodbye to Wang Yibo, and walked to the door pretending to feel at ease.
The moment the door closed, Wang Yibo picked up the conversation between the two just now.
They didn't say much, the conversation only took up half the paper.
Xiao Zhan's handwriting is very good and upright. Although he hasn't been trained, it looks very comfortable. It is the kind of writing that can make teachers add bonus points to exam papers.
Wang Yibo folded the paper in half, then in half again, and inserted it into the book that he most recently read.
Outside, after Xiao Zhan closed the door, he leaned down and fiercely beat his thighs.
He returned to the bedroom, opened the closet that Wang Yibo talked about, and then he couldn't help but let out a "wow" when he saw the display inside.
As expected of Wang Yibo.
The way everything is placed was too regulated. There wasa shelf for suits, a shelf for trousers, a shelf for two-piece suit sets, a shelf for dress shirts, and a shelf for sports sets...
Everything's clear at a glance. And the far left that Wang Yibo referred to, which is also the smallest shelf in this wardrobe, is all pajamas.
Xiao Zhan chose a set of light gray long sleeves at random, closed the closet, and went into the bathroom.
Although Wang Yibo said that everything in the bathroom could be used, Xiao Zhan still wasn't comfortable enough to touch his things.
It's one thing for Wang Yibo to not treat him as an outsider, but it seems that Wang Yibo doesn't like touching things that others have touched. Xiao Zhan thinks that Wang Yibo might have mysophobia.
In the morning, he wouldn't shake hands, and in the evening, he wouldn't wear slippers that others wore. He even used his own pen when they went to get their certificate. Up until now, he still hasn't had any physical contact with him.
Therefore, it might be best for Xiao Zhan to touch less of Wang Yibo's things.
After showering, Xiao Zhan packed his stuff back in his bag. The dirty clothes were also packed in a plastic bag he prepared, ready to be taken home tomorrow.
When he had just finished packing his bag and zipped up the zipper, the bedroom door suddenly opened.
Xiao Zhan turned his head and met Wang Yibo's line of sight.
Wang Yibo slowly walked in, it seemed like he was looking at him... or his clothes.
Xiao Zhan laughed, "It's a bit long."
The sleeves covered half his palms and the pants covered half his heels.
Wang Yibo faintly said, "Mn".
What Xiao Zhan didn't see was that Wang Yibo's Adam's apple unnaturally rolled up and down once.
After everything, Xiao Zhan had nothing left of concern. And Wang Yibo went to shower.
He played on his phone for a bit, built himself up in his mind and climbed up the bed.
This bed is very large, with him on the left and Wang Yibo on the right, it can fit one more person in the middle. After Xiao Zhan climbed up, he lay down on his side on the side of the bed.
Very soon, Wang Yibo walked out of the bathroom.
It was already time to sleep, Wang Yibo turned off the lights in the bedroom. Like what Xiao Zhan expected, he walked around to that side of the bed, lifted the quilt and lay in.
Xiao Zhan felt the bed sink a little.
Then, the lamp was also turned off.
It suddenly became dark in front of him, so Xiao Zhan habitually closed his eyes.
But he kind of can't sleep.
This is practically the first time he slept with someone in his 26 years of life. If talking about awkwardness, it was definitely awkward. If talking about insomnia, he felt that he would definitely suffer from insomnia.
"How are your sleeping habits?" Wang Yibo suddenly asked.
Xiao Zhan thought for a bit, "Should be adequate."
His university dorm mates never made complaints, and also said he sleeps very quietly.
Wang Yibo said, "My sleep quality isn't very good, so try not to make too much movement in your sleep, and do not touch me."
Xiao Zhan held his breath, answered, "Okay."
Xiao Zhan was cautious not to move, and very soon there were no more movements from Wang Yibo.
Gradually, a long time passed, a part of his neck was fiddled with his hair for a long time, it was very itchy. Wang Yibo should already be asleep, Xiao Zhan thought, so he raised his hand to scratch it lightly and slowly.
But he didn't expect that Wang Yibo would suddenly move.
Xiao Zhan's hand paused beside his neck.
"Not asleep?" Wang Yibo suddenly spoke.
Xiao Zhan panicked, "No."
Wang Yibo didn't speak anymore, Xiao Zhan slightly scratched one more time before slowly retracting his hand.
A few seconds later, Wang Yibo spoke again.
This time, the volume of his voice seems to be lower.
He said, "The body wash you used isn't mine."
Xiao Zhan, "Mn?"
He was confused, is something the matter?
But he still answered, "It's mine, I brought it."
Wang Yibo stopped talking.
Another half a minute passed, Wang Yibo spoke again.
This time, he suddenly called out, "Xiao Zhan."
His name was called, Xiao Zhan started feeling flustered, he immediately responded, "Here."
Wang Yibo's voice seemed to be a bit hoarse, "Sexual activities within marriage, is it acceptable?"
Xiao Zhan didn't react in time, "What?"
Wang Yibo asked again, "Is it?"
Xiao Zhan suddenly felt hot, "Y-yeah
