Wei Ying and Lan Zhan were in the car driving to Wei Ying's school. The car ride was quiet, there was music playing. They both recognized it as "Nan Hai" (the song that Wang Yi Bo says describes Xiao Zhan) it was such a nice song.
"This is such a nice song."
"Mmm."
"Wish I could sing as good as Liang Bo."
"You can."
"Thank you, Lan Zhan."
"When do you start work?"
"It starts tomorrow, I'm going to go after classes."
"Make sure to eat well."
"I know."
Wei Ying pecked Lan Zhan's cheek, Lan Zhan's ears grow red. Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying with hunger in his eyes. But he had to restrain himself since he was driving.
"Stop."
"What?"
"No kissing."
"Why?"
"Driving."
"Hmph, no fun."
Wei Ying turned around and put the Aux cord into his phone. He wanted to practice the song so that he was ready for tomorrow.
"Wen di sheng du chou chang
yun shen ye wei yang
Shi yu fei dou guo wang
xing lai le
Zen neng dang meng yi chang"
Suddenly, Wei Ying had an idea.
"Hey, Lan Zhan; how about you sing with me."
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"PLEASE!"
Lan Zhan took a deep breath.
"Fine, but I don't know the lyrics."
Wei Ying rummaged something out of his bag and gave it to Lan Zhan.
"Now, you have the lyrics."
"Let me pull over, can't drive when distracted."
"That's a good idea."
Lan Zhan pulled the car over and looked at the sheet. It was covered in writing, all the notes that Wei Ying wrote about how to sing the song.
"He must really want to sing it well." thought Lan Zhan
"Are you ready Lan Zhan?"
"Mmm."
This was going to be okay for Lan Zhan since he heard this song before. Wei Ying set the song back to the beginning.
"Okay, you can just come in when you are ready. Unless you want to sing the whole song with me."
"I'll sing with you."
"Hm, okay."
Wei Ying press play on his phone, music once again filled the car.
"Wen di sheng du chou chang

When they finished singing the song, Wei Ying was smiling. He was happy that he got to sing with Lan Zhan. He thought that they sounded good together, maybe he can ask the director of "The Unrestrained" if they could do a duet together or something. That would be nice.
"That was so good Lan Zhan, you should become a singer too."
"I'm an actor."
"But you can be an actor and singer, there are people out there that are like that."
"Mmm."
"Come on, if you become a singer; we can see each other more often."
"Mmm."
Lan Zhan thought about it, he didn't really know much about singing though. He was always complemented by others saying that he had a good singing voice, but he never took it upon himself to become a singer.
"Isn't there other songs in the show that you are filming? Maybe if I do good with this song, the director would ask me to do another song. Maybe I can ask them to put you in it too."
"Don't think too much, think about now."
"Yes."
Lan Zhan started the car again and started to continue to drive to Wei Ying's school. When they got there, the school lights were mostly turned off; besides the dorm lights.
"I guess I'll see you later Lan Zhan."
"Mmm."
Wei Ying wasn't ready for Lan Zhan to leave. He wanted to stay with this man longer. But he knew that he had classes tomorrow. Wei Ying turned around and started to walk towards the entrance of the school. When he was about to enter, Lan Zhan said something that made Wei Ying stop in his place.
"I love you, Wei Ying."
"Did Lan Zhan say 'I love you, Wei Ying'? Omg!" Wei Ying thought
Wei Ying turned around and started to walk back to the car. He leaned into the open window and grabbed Lan Zhan's collar and pulled him into a kiss. When they parted, Wei Ying had a smile on his face.
"I love you too Lan Zhan."
They kiss one more time before Wei Ying really had to go back inside.
"See you later Lan Zhan."
"See you later Wei Ying."
Lan Zhan waited for Wei Ying to get inside the school, before driving back to his hotel.
When Wei Ying reached his room, Nei Huaisang was already asleep.
"He sleeps like a log." Wei Ying mumbled to himself
He went to get changed, and something fell out of his pocket, he took a look and realized that it was the box that Lan Zhan had given him. He didn't know if he could open the box since Lan Zhan had told him to not open it until they were alone. But he completely forgot about it. He decided to call Lan Zhan and ask him.
"Wei Ying."
"Lan Zhan, are you back at the hotel yet?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I found the box that you had given me at the party. I'm so sorry that I had completely forgotten about it."
Lan Zhan thought about it and realized that it was the present that Lan Zhan had given to Wei Ying. It had taken a while for him to choose the right present.
"You can open it if you want to."
"But."
"It's fine."
Wei Ying unwraps the present and sees that there is a box inside. He thought about all the things that could be inside. Could it be the thing that he was thinking about, the thing that fits on his finger?
