Cold Water

Part 17 - Dinner

°

Yibo put his motorcycle in the garage. Zhan, who was sitting in the back seat, got off when Yibo stopped his bike. Then as usual Zhan took off his helmet and Yibo's,then gave a slight ruffle on the brown mane. Yibo huffed a little before setting it again in the bike's mirror.

In the afternoon after they finished their work, Yibo decided to take Zhan to his home. Zhan initially wanted to refuse, saying there is no reason for his visit. But Yibo forced and convinced Zhan that if he could meet with Yibo's father, he may get some information about their work. In the end, Zhan decided to obey Yibo's will.

Yibo pulled Zhan's hand excitedly after he set his hair to somewhat decent level. Zhan was quite shocked by Yibo's behavior recalling the incident a few weeks ago when Yibo was still being cold to him. Yes indeed, it is also his own fault because he cannot recognize Yibo, but who will recognize someone after almost 20 years you have never met. Especially at that time Yibo was still very small and cute, very different from the tall adult he is now. And Zhan admits that he is quite handsome even though there was still a glint of cuteness and sweetness hidden.

Zhan follows Yibo letting his hand be pulled by Yibo. He shook his head smiling. While Yibo walks in eagerly into his house without caring for Zhan who walks a little as a result of himself.

The servants were seen bowing as they saw Yibo entering the living room, Yibo only nodded without looking at them while Zhan took the time to bow to greet him.

Zhan never thought that Yibo's family would be this rich. He was quite surprised by Yibo's very large and luxurious home, anyone would think that Yibo's house is not a house but a hotel. Every detail and decoration there even looks very expensive. Moreover, many waiters were seen walking around preparing food.

There are lots of photos large to small with pictures of Yibo as a child to several photos with faces that are foreign to Zhan. There is also a family photo with Yibo being with 4 other unfamiliar faces.

"What is the occasion?" Zhan asked as he passed the dining room with a large amount of food on the table.

"I don't know," Yibo said, still pulling Zhan's hand towards the back garden with a large swimming pool.

Finally Yibo stopped when he saw the back of a man who was standing facing the pond.

Zhan, whose hand just escaped Yibo's hand, somehow felt empty. But he immediately shook his head slowly and followed where Yibo was looking.

"Captain. We have arrived" Yibo said in a cold tone.

Zhan who didn't understand Yibo's intentions immediately approached Yibo.

"Captain?" Zhan whispered.

Suddenly the man behind them both turned around. From the first look, the man was firm and authoritative, and the man's face still looked handsome even though he must be likely in his 50s.

"You haven't looked this happy for a long time, what happened?" The man looked at Yibo then looked at Zhan. Zhan immediately bowed.

"I brought gege here. Do you remember? The one who found me when you accidentally left me?" Said Yibo with enthusiasm.

The middle-aged man who was none other than Yibo's father looked at Zhan carefully. Zhan only smiled awkwardly when the new middle-aged man looked at him intensely.

"So he finally recognizes you?" Yibo's dad asked. Yibo nodded happily. Yibo's dad smiled and walked up to them.

"I am very happy to be able to meet you again, especially Yibo. He must have been waiting a long time like this now,"  Yibo's father patted Zhan on the shoulder.
