It was a perfect day. Everything went romantically--passionately, even. Now they're standing on a lush verdant hill, the gentle evening breeze caressing their faces. Their hesitant fingers brushing oh-so-shyly as their hearts beat and beat even faster in a plea to shout out what their tongues cannot say.

And when he gazes at the person beside him, their attention captivated by the colorful fireworks that drew stars and flowers and beauty before their very eyes, he knows he has to say it. So that he may see the same besotted expression directed at him instead.

"My lovely flower. My beautiful star. Won't you... make breakfast with me, everyday, for the rest of our lives?"

"Huh? I know you like my cheap cooking, but don't you have world-class chefs at home? I'm sure they'd do better than me..."

"Ah."

In some cultures, asking someone to cook for you everyday is an indirect way of asking someone to marry you. And he was rejected.

Malleus Draconia was rejected. Unwittingly. With all the innocence in the world a person could ever display on their face.

Ah well, just another one of his failed attempts. He'd try again next time, in a different setting, with a different approach. There's bound to be one in a thousand that would work on them, surely?

"I don't really plan to take up culinary arts," They suddenly declare; eyes ahead and never meeting his, "So I don't think I'm qualified to be a royal chef. But if my job title gets to be 'spouse' instead... Maybe I'll give it a thought."

He's not entirely sure if the popping sound was still the fireworks or if it was his very heart.

a lot of us were clowning because of how fast wyb walked the red carpet for 36th golden rooster awards. thinking that’s just him being wyb. well, it turns out that he was rushing cause he is the last one to walk the carpet among the starry oceans class. they were all ( again ) waiting on him (p1) it’s not his fault. it makes sense, he is wang yibo, he will walk any red carpet — not just this one, towards the end. but to think that he doesn’t care about showing himself off and feeding his ego, all he wanted was to not make those people wait on him any longer.

then when he arrived, the organizer wanted him to be at the center but he (p2) asked if he can stay where he is on the side. this is because everyone is already in their places and since he came last, it’s okay for him to just be where he already is. even if it’s on the side which someone like wang yibo shouldn’t be. he wanted to give the spotlight to others. he is okay with sharing the fame. after this, he had to rush to leave cause he will walk the red carpet with wuming crew next.

if there is any case of being “isolated” that night or wyb’s life in general, i guess it’s the isolation of being as successful as he is. they say it’s lonely being at the top and that applies to him. his career’s trajectory has been on the up & up ever since his breakout year, even as he switched to being a movie actor, the success and critical acclaim is unprecedented. if there is anything i know, what i have seen in the past years is that he always proves people wrong. he wins people over with excellent works and no amount of anti rhetoric will pull him down. the only way for him is up ✨🫶🏼
