He was just too numb to do anything for the rest of the evening, so, he's just floating on the huge pink flamingo floatie, drifting down the pool. His feet was dipped in the water, beer in his hand. He knew he should not drink anymore, given that he had already drank one bottle and his alcohol tolerance was not that good. But he needs something to numb the ache.

To hell if he just drowned right there and then. Maybe that way, his heartaches will just subside.

He fell asleep until dawn, and when he felt the chill of the morning dews, he woke up and fell down on the freezing pool. 

Served him right for falling asleep on the floatie.
 

So, today will be the last day of him filming the reality show. 

He knew. 

He checked. 

Just another 24 hour and he will be back to the peace and quiet with only his mind as a company, and it's loud enough anyway, giving him unwanted opinion and thoughts on things that should've not been spoken.
 

He walked into his room, shed his wet clothes, and changed into running shorts and top, and went for a jog on the beach, to clear his muddled mind.
 
 
Two hours later and he was back at the kitchen, making green tea and breakfast, when he heard an unmistakable sound of helicopter. 

He went outside, to find Genevieve, as sharp as she was a week ago, walked out from the same helicopter that dropped him here, and waved to him.

"Xiao laoshi, you looked well." She hugged him.

"Genevieve, what a surprise, is there something wrong?"

"No, no, I just forgot to give you the contract, you have to sign the contract and another NDA, you know, for formalities. Here let me show you." She walked to the couch and sit. He sat in front of her, curious.

She gave him a piece of paper, and he read it. It seems normal, so he signed it.

"Thanks Xiao laoshi, the full amount of fund has already been transferred as we speak, and I'm afraid I have to leave soon." She got up, and walked outside, but before she crossed the treshold to the waiting helicopter outside, she turned around and winked at him. "Good luck Xiao laoshi! I have a feeling you're going to need it!" She blew a kiss, and gone, leaving a cloud of Bleu de Chanel behind.
 
What did she mean by that?
 
He didn't have time to think about the cryptic message when he heard Mrs. Li came.

"Mrs. Li! I thought you're going to come tomorrow? Wasn't it just yesterday you cleaned up here?"

"Ah, yes, the lady called me and said to prepare the room for another guest, who will come soon. Here I brought you extra groceries." She gave him a big bag full of groceries.
 
He blinked once. Twice. 
 
Another guest?
 
"Mrs. Li, are you sure you heard right? I mean, the lady you mentioned was the tall, blonde one right? Genevieve?"

"Yes, Ms. Genevieve, she called me this morning to buy groceries and prepare the room."

"But she was just here, and she said nothing about another guest?"
 

Just when he was about to call Genevieve, he heard a jet ski coming fast from the direction of the mainland.

And he knew only one person who could move like that.

He ran inside and made a call to Genevieve, who answered in the first ring.

"Yes, Xiao laoshi? How can I help you?" She speaks in a very calm voice, and suspiciously very silent background.

"I just met Mrs. Li here and she said that there will be another guest? Is that true?" He already knew the answer, but still...

"Oh, yes, Xiao laoshi, I forgot to tell you that you will have a housemate for the next 3 weeks. It's been decided since last week but since he was a very busy man, he's only been able to come today. Don't worry, you've known him quite well since you were both co-starred in that very successful drama. But of course you knew that, he was there last night, right?"
 
Damn, he forgot about the cameras.
 
"Genevieve, please don't fuck around, you know very well why. It's either me or him."

"But, Xiao laoshi, you have signed the contract, and it has a clause here that stated that you have to stay there for a full month, or there will be penalty. It's the same with his contract. And in case you'd rather pay for the penalty, let me tell you first that the penalty is 10 times the amount of what we've paid you, ooh speaking of which, the fund is already safe and sound inside your bank account. So I suggest that you just suck it up, Xiao laoshi, have a good day!"
 
He would have wanted to throw his phone on the wall, but instead he just take a deep breath to calm his fraying nerves.
 

"I guess this mean that you don't know that I was going to stay here."

He heard the familiar voice. Again. And it's doing something to his insides.

"Don't worry, I'll be out of your hair, you won't even know that I was here."

He scoffed. 
 
As if.
 
If there's one thing that Wang Yibo excelled at, it's his presence. He did not even need to do anything except breathing, to make others in awe of him. He's a fucking god for christ sake.
 
"I'm just a human, Zhan ge, and you don't have to worry about me crowding you."
 
Well, he still can read minds apparently.
 
"Just you, Zhan ge, just you." He smirked then disappeared into the other bedroom across his. A minute later he appeared, only wearing shortie shorts and white shirt.

"I'm going back to shoot some additional scenes, don't wait up!" Then he went outside and rode his jetski back to the mainland.
