Chapter 16 - Vanilla Sky Scent
“Sir, the water supplier change the owner but they send us a new form as a notice and needs your sign here.” The butler said while handing him the paper of the supplier's contract.
“Okay, any supplier will do but I like this refilling station.” Wang Yibo answered and signed the contract without any interest to the new owner of the water refilling station.
It is not that he can't afford to buy or build his refilling station or place a filter in the kitchen faucet. He wants to help and buy the product. As a businessman and customer of another business, buying is also a way of helping another businessman to grow.
Wang Yibo leans his back to the couch and stares blankly at the closed TV.
Why is everybody changing business owners lately? Selling properties and so on. Does the economy is getting worst? I don't even notice the drop in the stock market. What the hell happened to Zhan-ge...
Wang Yibo hired a private investigator to search for Xiao Zhan after a week and he is hoping for a positive result in everything.
“Dada, I miss Daddy...” Zhanyi cried holding a frame from one of the displays in the living room.
“Me too honey, I miss Daddy too..” Wang Yibo reaches the photo frame and caresses them with his thumb. It's Zhanyi and Xiao Zhan in a frame.
Wang Yibo regrets not having any photo or at least a family picture of them.
After few minutes, they heard a doorbell and the butler open it.
“Bo! What's up! Thank you, uncle...” Gou Cheng shouts but bows his head to the butler.
“Can you lower your voice, idiot!” Fanxing smacks Gou Cheng's head.
“Ouch!”
“Hello, Uncles, where is Fairy doggy?”
“Hello baby boy, Uncle Piexin is on the way. He is not bringing Fairy I guess..”
“Can you teach me to play skateboard?”
“Yeah sure..sure..”
“Alright..since you are here guys, let me shower first before we head out okay..”
“Dada, go shower fast okay..”
“Yeah, baby..”
Wang Yibo left his friends with his son and shower.
“You know, Dada is sad. And I too am so sad...” the innocent kid starts to chat with his Dada's friends.
“Oh, why is that?”
“Daddy don't visit here anymore. Daddy doesn't miss Dada and me but we miss him so much already.”
“Dada misses Daddy?”
“Yeah, he told himself and cried. I cried too..”
Gou Cheng and Fanxing look at each other and smirk.
“So Dada misses Daddy finally.”
“Dada always pinches my cheeks. He said I look like Daddy's face, I am cute.”
“Wow, your Dada is funny huh..” Gou Cheng chuckles and wanted to ask more but a loud honk from the lorry horn disturbs them.
“Oh, the water delivery uncles. I want to help, I want to help!” Zhanyi forgets the two and runs to the kitchen with the butler.
“Uncle let me help, let. I carry the empty ones.”
“Hahaha..okay, here you go...”
Gou Cheng and Fanxing followed the kid and watched him struggles to carry the big empty plastic bottle.
“Tsk, I remember this scene. And look at that kiddo..”
“Yeah. I know right. Let's deal it later with Yibo.”
The butler widens the door and lets the man wearing a black mast and a cloth covering his face showing only his eyes. Carrying a heavy bottle placing it in the storage room.
“Hello delivery man, here is your bottle..” Zhanyi approached hugging it peeping to the transparent bottle.
It is his habit every time the delivery man will arrive and he is in the house, Zhanyi always disturbs the man.
Zhanyi pouts when the man ignores him so he followed and as soon as he reaches the door, he throws the bottle making a bouncing sound on the concrete.
“Young Master, why did you do that?” the butler asking the kid.
“He ignores me...that's why..hmp!”
Gou Cheng and Fanxing wanged to laugh but they control themselves.
“No matter, you must be kind to the person. He is busy and tired okay.”
“Hmph! Okay....but he is so good. Smells good.” the kid pouts and runs to his uncles.
“Uncles, I don't want to help him anymore. He doesn't like me...”
“Really, I think he likes you but he feels dirty so he can't touch you.”
“Ah, Zhanyi..he is our new delivery guy okay..”
“I see, it's okay. I will befriend him.” Zhanyi confidently said.
Zhanyi saw Wang Yibo approaching so he runs to his Dada and asked permission.
“Dada, the delivery guy is new. Can I be his friend?”
“No, maybe he is a bad guy..” Wang Yibo steals a glance at the window and his brows furrowed.
“But Dada, I just want to watch him, nothing else. I will stay with an uncle in the kitchen please...” the innocent kid pout cutely.
“Okay, don't get close to him. Just watch him okay...”
The kids happily run to the butler and Wang Yibo and his friends continue to chat in the living room. Pie Xin arrived but he didn't bring a fairy.
While they are all busy, Zhanyi keeps trying to talk to the delivery guy.
“Hello sir, can I see your face?”
“The delivery guys stop and place the empty bottle carefully and talk to the kid.
“Why?”
“Because I like your smell. And you smell like Daddy..” Zhanyi sniffs the man and closes his eyes.
“Hmmm..like the vanilla sky. You know Daddy smells like you. Can I see your face?”
The butler is just watching them but he can't hear what they are talking so he steps closer and observes the two.
The man puts his index finger to his lips and slowly pulls his mask and to the butler's surprise, he almost screams.
“Da......” The man covers Zhanyi's mouth and a nod to the butler.
The butler quickly understands what he means and just nods continuously.
“Zhanyi, baby..we are going now. Go, get change and we will eat ice cream okay...”
Zhanyi is still in shock but because he trusts the delivery man, he didn't speak a word.
Zhanyi runs to the leaving room while waving his hand. The butler bows his head and chases the kid.
“Oh, the delivery is done.” Wang Yibo checks the kitchen and closes the door.
He noticed the man is almost finished closing the lory and about to hop to the driver's seat when the man glances at him.
Wang Yibo jolted and look away and he can almost hear his own heartbeat.
Shit. What was that?
Jeez, who is that man? Fully masked and...what is that smell?
Wang Yibo sniffs and doesn't know how he will react. The smell in the air is familiar but for a while he got a mental block remembering what kind of scent is that.
Badum. Badum.
Wang Yibo closes the door and shrugs his shoulders until he heard the lory left.
“So, are you ready?”
“Yes Dada, hug me quickly!”
“Hmmm, smell so good.”
“I am using Daddy's perfume...hihi...”
Wang Yibo stares at his son intently. He doesn't remember Zhanyi touches his father's perfume in the room. And he doesn't even smell like one. In the kitchen, he smells that familiar scent but he is sure Zhanyi doesn't wear them earlier.
Nah, it's just my imagination.
“Hello honey, give me five!” Piexin raises his right palm and the two do the high five.
“Yeah!”
“But I wish the delivery guy is with us...” the kid added and smile at Wang Yibo.
“What?”
“Hehehe...I like him..” Zhanyi
“Zhanyi, what gets into your head?” Wang Yibo pinches the kid's cheeks,
“He smells like Daddy..” The kid motion his nose sniffing the air.
“Just because he smells like Zhan-ge you will like that guy?”
“Zhan-ge!?” Wang Yibo's friends exclaimed in unison.
“What?”
“I knew it!” Gou Cheng looks at him sharp while Piexin is smirking. Fanxing chuckles how Wang Yibo blushed hard and ears feel hot from indirect confession about his feeling to his ex-lover.
