After we were all complete, we immediately wanted to go shopping. But, before that, Zhan grabbed his best friend and dragged her to the beach to talk to her. We even saw them discussing, but thanks to the strong wind that came up overnight, we couldn't understand anything.

When the two of them came back to us after almost half an hour, Emma reached out first to me and then to Suri to apologize to us. We were really surprised by this.

We then, after accepting Emma's apology, drove together to the neighboring town to do some shopping. The place is not much bigger either, but there is a much bigger supermarket there, with much more selection. Also, there were no women sitting at the checkout counters looking like they had just returned from fishing.

Our shopping went without incident and was done quickly. We went to a bakery where we bought freshly baked bread and rolls. We also went to a liquor store and bought some alcohol. Tomorrow is Suri's birthday and we want to have a little party in the evening.

On the way back to our beach house, we saw an ice cream truck and each bought a huge portion of ice cream. Whereby Zhan tasted again and again from my ice cream.

Back at the beach house, I helped Zhan cook dinner. I wanted it to be quick. On the one hand I was really hungry and on the other hand I didn't want us to leave too late for the bay. Before we ate, Zhan wanted to tell them about it.

Zhan said to both girls, "Today Yibo and I will go to the bay and stay there for a few hours. We may not come back until it gets dark. And this time I don't want any fuss from you Emma."

Suri responded as expected and wished us fun. Emma looked less than enthusiastic, but said nothing and just nodded. "I was going to spend the day in front of the TV anyway, it's too windy out there." She said after a few minutes where no one really knew what she was talking about because the topic had long since ended.

At 5 pm Zhan and I listened to the weather report again, then we headed out. Since Zhan and I had our cameras with us, it took us a little longer to get there because we kept stopping to take pictures of some sort.

When we finally reached the bay, we put a blanket on the sand, left our drinks and some snacks in our backpacks, which also had to serve as weights for our blanket.

We took a closer look at the bay and even found a small cave. Big enough for two of us to lie in it, but nothing more. Then Zhan offered me to take pictures of him. He and I wrote about it, that I wanted to gain experience with it.

Zhan was my model and I was his photographer. Every now and then he explained to me from which angle a picture looked better and which settings fit best when. It was like the master and his apprentice, but very interesting and it was also a lot of fun.

We were also in the water a few times and had a huge fun time. As we swam and teased each other, the time almost flew by.

We sat on our blanket, snuggled in another blanket because the wind was really cruel, ate some snacks together, talked and laughed.

As the sun slowly set, we sat on the blanket, together under the other blanket, watching the sun disappear. It was a great sight. But it really got interesting when it was dark around us and I was already thinking we were about to go back to the beach house.

I asked Zhan, "Now that it's dark, do you want to go back?"

Zhan shook his head and replied, "No, I want to stay here with you longer. It's nice here and being alone with you pleases me. Or do you want to go back to the two girls?"

"No. I like to stay here with you longer." I said.

We lay down on the blanket and looked up at the starry sky. Once again, I admired that starry splendor and wondered what it might be like up there in space. I know the pictures, but, what must it feel like to be up there and so close to the stars?

When Zhan turned to me, I did the same. Seeing that he was cold, I took the spare blanket, slid closer to Zhan and covered us both. Zhan snuggled up to me and just like last night, he caressed my chest with his index finger. It felt great and I couldn't stop smiling.

I caressed Zhan's cheek as he looked deep into my eyes again. He moved even closer to me, even though it was barely possible, and like last night, another moment formed between us. And again Zhan stroked my lower lip. But this time something was different.

Zhan looked me straight in the eyes as he stroked my lips and whispered, "Show me how you feel about me. Will you dare?"

"How do you want me to show you?" I asked him confused, because all I could think about was wanting to grab him and kiss him.

Zhan rolled his eyes and replied, "Yibo, if you don't kiss me right now, like you're dying to do too, I'm going to freak out. What more do I have to do to get you to finally kiss me?"

"You, you want me to kiss you? Are you serious?"

"Yibo, I wanted this already last night. And honestly, if you don't kiss me now within the next 10 seconds, you'll never be able to make me your wifey. Because then I'll be sure to pounce on you and make you my Wifey!"

"Have you been secretly drinking alcohol Zhan? What's up with you all of a sudden?"

"One, two, three..."

"Alright, stop counting okay? I'm kissing you finally." I said. Zhan smiled, grabbed me by my cheeks and pulled me towards him. I took a deep breath.

"Kiss me Yibo." Whispered Zhan. I leaned over Zhan a little, lowering my head until our lips touched. I kissed Zhan with all my passion and tenderness that I have saved in the past years, just for him. And Zhan even moaned slightly because he liked it. And me? I was incredibly happy. Indescribably happy.

Everything around us was forgotten. The stars, the sea, the girls. There was only us. We kissed again and again and that for over an hour until our lips were all swollen. I can hardly believe it. We got here Friday night, today is Monday night and we are kissing each other.

After over an hour of kissing, Zhan said softly, "Mmm, that was nice. And Yibo?"

"Mhm?" I was still completely beside myself.

"Can you finally tell me how you feel about me?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Yes, but I would like to hear about it from your mouth. In your words, like you did in the story."

"I have been in love with you for six years. My heart was irretrievably lost to you the moment I first saw you."

"And I confess that I fell in love with you a year ago. After I learned about the fan fiction and read a few chapters, I wanted to know who you were. I came here to Beijing without my family's knowledge and looked for you. I had all kinds of ideas about what you might look like or what kind of person you are. Until I saw you at the university. I knew it was you right away because the description in the story was perfect. I just didn't think it was true and that you were even better looking in real life. And like I said, I've never had a girlfriend. Because I'm not into women. But on the other hand, I've never been in love or with a man before either. And just like you, I've been saving my innocence for someone I'm sure is worth it."

I had been completely overwhelmed. Now so many things made sense. Especially because he didn't even mind being called my boyfriend. I hugged and kissed him. "And I'm that someone worth it?" I asked afterwards.

"Yes. I saw you and knew my heart belonged to you, just like your heart belongs to me. And I kept my eye on you for a while. Why do you think I wanted this vacation? Why I want to move back to Beijing? I'm doing this because I want to be with you."

"And you're not kidding me either?"

"Haha, no Yibo. I'm completely serious. I want to be with you. And that's even if it means you make me your wifey. Just don't ever dare to call me that! But Yibo? I have to ask you for a favor, too."

"What?"

"Let's keep it to ourselves for now. I want to see how hard Suri tries to get me together with you. Please let me have this fun Okay?"

"Um, all right. But only because it's you."

I was actually still completely overwhelmed and just heard that Zhan is in love with me and wants to be with me. I can't believe how different this week has turned out than it was planned. All this thinking about how to get Zhan to fall in love with me. Yet this happened a long time ago. And more than that, Zhan is coming back here to Beijing because of me. And because of me, he wanted this vacation.

It feels like I'm dreaming. I even pinched my leg secretly to test if I was really awake. It hurt. All this is real. Not a dream. I kissed Zhan, we kissed each other. These were our first kisses!

Just to be sure, I asked Zhan again, "Zhan? And you're sure you're sincere with me? Because I wouldn't stand it if you were just playing with my feelings. I really love you and have for so long. I've wished day after day that I could be with you. And that's why it would kill me if you just played with me now. I mean it. I waited for you for six years. So please don't hurt me."

Zhan had tears in his eyes and clung to me. "I'm completely serious about you Yibo. I really am. I wish I could have told you sooner. But I wanted to come back here first so I could tell you, I'm here now and I'm staying here. I may have to go away for a few days in between because of work, but I'll always come back to you. Let's take today as our first day of the two of us as a couple. Okay?"

"Yes, of course. I can't tell you how happy I am. Because I can't find the words for it Zhan. I just want to hold you in my arms and never let you go."

We stayed for another half hour until the wind became so uncomfortable that we packed up and walked slowly, hand in hand, back to the beach house.

When we got to the house, everything was dark. Only a note was on the table, "Are already in bed, hope you both had a good time. Suri" I am so excited to see how she will react when Zhan and I tell her the truth at the end of the week. I would love to tell her right away though. She is my best friend and thanks to her, I am now with my dream man.

Because if Suri hadn't come up with the idea of writing a fan fiction about Zhan and me two years ago, he never would have thought to look up what kind of man I am. Maybe he would have fallen in love with me at some point later. But how likely would that be, when it's unclear whether, without his feelings for me, he ever would have come back?

As Zhan and I lay in bed, in our double bed, I leaned over him and whispered, "Show me how you feel about me."

Zhan laughed and pulled my head down to kiss me. Then he looked deep into my eyes and whispered, "I love you, my Yibo."
