(A/N: this is really the last 😂)

"Ge, why do you care about what they say?! We should fight for our happiness! Are you satisfied with us always in hiding?!" Wang Yibo asked Xiao Zhan during their break in a variety show.

Xiao Zhan paused in his movements. Fortunately, the makeup artists for them and their assistants were not around. Or else... he looked at Wang Yibo standing in front of him, looking at him in indignation. Xiao Zhan’s usually bright and smiling face slowly turned cold as his eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Wang Yibo. "Did you misunderstand something?" He asked, his cheerful voice turned to a cold one. He remembered, when they starred in a drama The Untamed, it was the other who has a cold character while he has the lively one. However, look how their tables turned. "There had never been an us." He told him, then withdrew his sight. He looked at himself reflected in the mirror. The light in his eyes turned dim. If sacrificing my happiness can assure your future and success... then I am willing to be unhappy all my life. He closed his eyes.

"Ge...?" Wang Yibo called, his face and voice filled with confusion.

"I am retiring." Xiao Zhan said and opened his eyes that showed resolution.

Wang Yibo’s eyes went wide. "What?! Retiring?! Why?! You’re just 30 - " he said, shocked. He stepped forward to Xiao Zhan and raised his hand to touch him. However, Xiao Zhan’s voice made his body and blood freeze in cold.

"I... am going back to my hometown... and get married." Xiao Zhan said, his voice low. He saw in the corner of the mirror Wang Yibo’s dumbstruck face. Yes. I’m already 30. I may not be old enough for an actor. But, I am too old for an idol. Me staying with you any longer endangers you... staying with you for a few years is enough for me to last a lifetime... he thought and lowered his head as he closed his eyes, a tear escaping and trickled on his face.

“I am sorry if I lied to you.” Xiao Zhan said, his voice was drowned by the sea breeze. However, it was enough for Wang Yibo to hear.

Wang Yibo didn’t answer and just lowered his head. “Why…” he said, his voice broke as he held his phone tight. Xiao Zhan just closed his eyes, feeling the wind hitting against his face that remained the same as if never been affected by the time. “Why is Wang Dalu such… such a troll?!” Wang Yibo frowned as he hatefully stared at his phone’s screen while reading Wang Dalu’s message.

“Oh, right. About Zhanzhan’s marriage… please invite me when you two decided a date! *grin.”

Wang Yibo’s face flushed. He hid his phone and turned to Xiao Zhan who is silently sitting by his side, feeling the sun’s mellow heat on his skin. Ge… he thought. Slowly, his hand crawled and held Xiao Zhan’s hand. He felt his heart jumped and his hand trembled when he finally felt the other’s warmth on his palm. Feeling no resistance, he carefully interlocked their fingers. Pinky… ring finger… middle finger… index finger… he rubbed their thumbs, as if they’re rubbing their cheeks against each other. He raised his head, just in time to see Xiao Zhan staring at him. His breathing hitched and he pulled Xiao Zhan to his embrace. “Ge…” he called, grievance in his voice, as if a child complaining.

Xiao Zhan chuckled as he hugged him back. He closed his eyes as he held him tight, feeling his didi’s warmth. “You’re finally taller than me. Did you drink supplements?” he teased.

“Mn.” Wang Yibo answered. Xiao Zhan laughed, because the way the other answered is the same as Lan Wangji – the character the other played in the drama they starred together. “I can finally lend you my shoulders.” Wang Yibo said.

Xiao Zhan paused, then smiled sweetly. “Thank you…” he whispered as he turned his head just as Wang Yibo turned his head. “Di.” He called.

Wang Yibo stared at Xiao Zhan’s face, memorizing each part of the other’s face despite he already imprinted it in his heart and mind. He’ll never get enough of Xiao Zhan’s face. “Ge…” he called.

They both closed their eyes together and their lips touched, the sun finally sank down from the sky, casting its last ray of light on them. Their shadow in the sand forming a heart, like a symbol of their love towards each other that’ll last for a lifetime.

(A/N: I think there’ll be an extra. 😂 like my MDZS fanfics 😂 hang in there, guys.)
