Messages, emails, letters flooded their inboxes and letterbox. Posters, banners and hoardings displayed the beginning of everything for them. It started 2 years ago and it has skyrocketed their existence from idols and newbies to superstars.

"Happy 2nd CQL anniversary!" Xiao Zhan smiled at the messages and fanarts as he saw them on his phone, sitting in a car and replied to as many as possible before he reached the destination.

"Thank you for your support! #Ah-ling forever," he replied.

He had himself posted a picture of the entire cast and crew, reminiscing the time he has spent with them. All of them are in a better position than they were two years back. He was happy for them. Many of them were still in contact, some had drifted away. However, this one stayed.

"What are you doing on your phone?" Yibo asked from the side, after he was done looking at the large hoardings outside playing the CQL ads and wishes, "You didn't even look at me since the past 15 minutes."

"I am replying to the wishes," Zhan replied, typing another response.

Yibo sighed. This old man wasn't so tech savvy, was he?

"Just type one common response and post it as the top comment," Yibo told him a simpler way.

Zhan rejected the idea, "It won't deliver my feelings."

Yibo snorted, "Old man Zhan!"

They had brought a large bouquet for the crew which was sitting in the front seat while Lele drove the car.

They reached the booked restaurant. Somehow the address had leaked and fans were swarming around the place.

Luckily, there was a barricade around the restaurant so the bodyguards didn't have to struggle with any fans trying to get too close to the stars. Lele parked the car close to the entrance.

Yibo held Zhan's hand and they got out of the car. The incoherent murmur at once changed to a loud roar. Banners lit up with red and blue colours, with lovely words written on them.

Zhan and Yibo were stunned to see such support even after 2 years of the drama. Then again, it had been life-changing, even for them. Zhan was almost in tears when he felt Yibo squeeze his hand.

He recovered from the nostalgia and smiled.

They were about to go in when they heard it. A few people singing Wuji in unison, the voice slowly increasing, fire and hire as others joined.

Yibo didn't say a word but took Zhan by hand and turned to the crowd, clearing his throat.

They stayed and started singing along. People took photos and videos of the lovely event amidst crying. Some were bowling their eyes out in the middle of the song.

Once Wuji ended, slogans were shouted.

"As long as the sea is bound to wash up on the sand and stars are above you, we will meet again."

Zhan nodded. He looked at Yibo who was smiling softly at him. They looked back at the crowd and waved.

It was time to go in. Lele rushed them inside. The entire cast was present there along with the crew. Their Untamed family.

Hai Kaun, ZuoCheng, Xuan Lu, Meng Ziyi, Ji Li, Hao Xuan, Li Bowen, Song Jiyang, ZanJin, Yuchen, Fanxing, Gu cheng PeiXin and all others. Even little Kevin, who played younger Yuan,was there with his parents, though he will be staying shortly till the cake was cut.

Zhan picked him and kissed him on the cheek. Yibo poked his cheek. Kevin giggled.

Those who arrived earlier greeted them. Bouquets were exchanged. Hugs were freely given.

It was time to cut the cake. A large CQL themed cake was prepared, all aesthetic and gorgeous.

The director cut it. Zhan fed him the first piece. He wanted to feed the main actors 2nd piece but Yibo and Zhan started fighting on "You first" and ultimately the director ended up feeding it to little Kevin.

It was time for a photo.

Everyone huddled up together. Unlike the last time on the set, during their final photo together as the cast, this time he wasn't hesitant to put his arm around Zhan's waist. He gave a thumbs up with the other hand.

Zhan placed his arm around Yibo's neck, doing a peace sign with the other hand.

The cameraman took position. "Ready? On three, two, one... Say Ah-ling."

"AH-LING!" Everybody smiled and a family picture was clicked which would be held precious by every member.
