Epilogue
 
 
"Yibo, let me go!!!"

"No, Yibo, don't let me go!!!!"

"You have to make up your mind, Zhan ge, I can't do both..." Yibo patiently try to hold on to the elder, while he was learning to stand upright on his ski.

"I don't know! How should I know? I never ski before! Damn you, don't let go of me!!!!" 

"Ge, we're just like..standing here... we're not even moving yet.." Yibo let out his exasperated sigh.

"You know what? I gave up! This is the first time we have breaks together, and nooo, you have to go skiing, not only that, you dragged me all the way here to this godforsaken god-knows-where, and when we die here, no one will ever find us ever again under all this snow!!"

"Don't be such a drama queen, ge, it's Alpine, A-L-P-I-N-E, and it perfectly safe, even for an amateur like you..."

Xiao Zhan slapped Yibo's hand.

"I'm done, I'm going inside..." he crouched down to untie his ski, when he felt an arm circling his waist and swooped him up.

"What are you doing? Let me go, don't do it! Nooooooo....!!!!!" 

Yibo carried him in a fireman carry and rocketed down in his own ski, cackling all the way down.

"I hate you" 

"No, you don't"

"Yes, I do"

"No, you don't, you love me."

"What makes you say that?" Xiao Zhan's pouting now, after a whole day being dragged along the mountain slopes.

"Because." Yibo dragged him closer, and pulled him to his lap, and kissed him softly. "I love you, baobei..."

The slow and soft kiss, turned into hot and heavy soon. 

They let go unwillingly, just because a human had to breathe sometime. But then Yibo carried Xiao Zhan, bridal style to the bedroom of the cabin they rented for the week.

"What is it with you and your obsession of carrying me everywhere?" Xiao Zhan held on to Yibo's neck.

"To make up for the time you thought that I would be happy without you by my side." He put Xiao Zhan gently on the bed. "I will make it up to you, baobei, I will make the 5 lonesome years that you had, that I had, seemed like just a dream, that's it, only a dream," he kissed Xiao Zhan tenderly, "And now we woke up together, here, now, forever, I will not ever let you go again..." he then dipped into the bed, beside the older man, eyes caressing every inch of his body, followed by his hand, and mouth. 

The tenderness soon turned into something more carnal, like there's something inside them that needed the other right there and then, closer and closer and finally become one, in body, in mind, in soul. And that needs, won't easily gone or changed, because they are indeed a soulmate, that only happened once in a lifetime. They recognized each other's soul, and loved each other in everything that matter.
