The one week vacation had ended and now they are back to working in the cafe.

Wang Yibo was busy with taking the orders while also thinking of where to take Xiao Zhan without him asking where he got the money for it.

After his confession Xiao Zhan asked for time. He gave him time and on the last day of their vacation, Xiao Zhan finally gave his answer. So to say it was a shy yes he got but he still wanted to do the so called courting.

He learned from Maria that Xiao Zhan likes the old fashioned way of becoming a couple. The process which will start with the courtings. Taking him out on dates giving him things he likes or loves the most.

So right now he is busy making sure everything is set for his date with Xiao Zhan. He wanted it to be nothing but perfect and not too cliche.

......

"Maria have you seen Yibo?" Xiao Zhan asked as he took slow steps towards an empty table. The cafe was surprisingly not packed with people. There were only a few of them coming.

"Oh, Lei asked him to run a few errands. Why?"

"Nothing. I was just wondering since I haven't seen him all day."

"Aish. Come on, don't worry about him. Let's make some of those orders. The one who ordered it will be picking it up soon." Xiao Zhan smiled as he let Maria accompany him in the kitchen.

He was actually looking for Yibo for help. But since he isn't available Maria will have to do.

......

3:55 PM

Zhao Lei hurriedly went inside the cafe straight towards the kitchen. He was tasked by Yibo to bring Xiao Zhan to the location of where the date will be held.

He too now knows who Yibo truly is. It was shocking really. Especially when you know that the one working for you is the Young Master of the Wang Empire. He couldn't offend him or else it's the end of his business or even his family.

"Chen where's Zhan?"

"He's with Maria on the second flo...." Zhao Lei didn't even let Chen finish speaking as he ran passed him, taking two steps on the stairs at a time.

Once he got into the room the others usually uses as a lounging area he was met with a pillow on the face courtesy of Xiao Zhan who's now laughing his ass off.

"Lei..... hahaha.... why are you in such a hurry? You even forgot to dodge my attack this time." Xiao Zhan asked as he tried to stop laughing.

"Sorry but I gotta borrow you for a while."

"Why?"

"It's..... It's Yibo. He needs you right now." Zhao Lei made sure his voice sounded a bit panic so Xiao Zhan would actually come with him. Since he knew that if he casually asked him that, he'll be in doubt about coming with him. The very reason is because he used this trick on him before.

"What happened?"

"Just come with me." With that he managed to carry Xiao Zhan on his back before running back downstairs. Maria only watched them leave with a smile on her face.

"Okay if you don't tell me what's wrong I'm gonna jump off this car!" Xiao Zhan threatened as Zhao Lei sped off.

"I just told you, it's about Yibo. He's in trouble!"

"What did he do? No. Let me correct that... What did you do?" Xiao Zhan's tone was demanding for answers, his face was calm which is making Zhao Lei even more nervous yet also happy as they approach the location.

"Hey why are we heading to my home?"

"Just wait. You'll see soon enough."

Zhao Lei parked infront of the small rusty old gate. He turned off the engine before looking at Xiao Zhan with seriousness.

"Yibo needs your help badly but he also wants you to put this on and don't remove it unless he or I tell you to. Please don't question me about this, Yibo might be waiting for us already."

"Okay. I don't know what's going on and why we are back at my house but I don't like it. Is Yibo okay? Why being so mysterious today Lei?"

"Just trust me."

"This one time only. I'll trust you this one time. Now let's go." Zhao Lei quickly tied the thick piece of cloth around Xiao Zhan's face making sure his eyes are covered well before giving out a quiet signal.

On a nearby tree, Yibo came out of his hiding. He walked towards the car making eye contact with Zhao Lei as if asking him to do the next part of the plan.

"Okay Zhan I'm gonna carry you now but not on my back so I can make sure you don't remove the cloth. And also stay quiet, don't asled me questions or I won't take you to Yibo."

"Do what you want. Just hurry and bring me to Yibo." With that Yibo took over. Gently placing his left hand under Xiao Zhan's knees and the other behind his back. He carried him with ease as Zhao Lei silently shut the door.

Yibo gave him a small nod before going inside the gate. He didn't go towards the house but instead went to the direction of the forest. The place where they first met.

Yibo took his time, slowly walking as he felt Xiao Zhan's warmth against his chest. He could smell his natural smell that oddly smells like freshly made cookies with a hint of vanilla. It was am addicting smell he couldn't help taking a deep breath as he walked slowly.

Soon they were approaching the very tree Xiao Zhan found Yibo nearly dying. Under the tree was Little Apple who's happily munching on a bunch of apples. Once infront of Little Apple, Yibo gently place Xiao Zhan on her back.

He then hid behind the tree silently watching as Xiao Zhan slowly removed his blindfold.

"Okay, is this a joke? Lei where are you? Where's Yibo?" Xiao Zhan angrily said as he looked around the place. It was a bit unfamiliar bit he recognized a few parts of the forest he was in.

Little Apple made a light sound startling Xiao Zhan who hadn't notice her at all.

"Gosh. Don't do that Little Apple. I'm about to have a heart attack cause of you. Wait.... What are you doing here?"

Xiao Zhan asked before noticing a folded paper stuck on the side of Little Apple's face. He gently took it then opened it.

PUT THE BLINDFOLD ON AGAIN AND FOLLOW THE APPLE TRAILS.

He then looked up trying to find an apple trail. He gasped when he saw the trail, he gently patted Little Apple who obediently began following the apple trail, taking her time to eat each of the apples.

All Xiao Zhan could think was, what was really going on?, as he tied the blindfold back on himself. He wanted to find out so he didn't question the note nor why Zhao Lei left him alone.
