Capítulo 2: Chapter 2
* Across the Miles*
*Los Angeles, California*
The sun beat down on the bustling film set, casting a golden glow over the chaotic scene. Wang Yibo, clad in a sleek black suit, stood tall, his eyes fixed intently on the director's instructions.
"Alright, Yibo, we need you to deliver this line with conviction," Director Rachel Patel said, her voice firm but encouraging. "You're playing a high-stakes businessman, and this monologue is pivotal."
Yibo nodded, his mind already immersed in character. "Got it, Rachel."
Camera operators scurried around, adjusting lenses and lighting. The script supervisor, Emma, handed Yibo his revised lines.
"Okay, people! Let's get this take!" Rachel called out.
Yibo took a deep breath, focusing on the scene. His co-star, Emily, stood opposite him, her eyes locked on his.
"Action!" Rachel shouted.
Yibo launched into his monologue, his voice commanding and persuasive. The cameras rolled, capturing every nuance of his performance.
"Cut!" Rachel exclaimed. "Perfect take, Yibo!"
As the crew bustled around him, Yibo's mind briefly wandered to Xiao Zhan, his heart aching with longing. Eight months had passed since they'd last seen each other, and the distance felt like an eternity.
"Yibo, you're killing it today!" Emma said, patting him on the back.
Yibo forced a smile, pushing aside his thoughts of Zhan. "Thanks, Emma. Just trying to stay focused."
The assistant director, Michael, approached him. "Yibo, we've got a tight schedule to keep. Next scene's in an hour."
Yibo nodded, already reviewing his lines for the next shoot.

Xiao Zhan's Performance_
After performing the three songs Xiao Zhan stood confidently on stage, microphone in hand, as the opening notes of his song filled the arena. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause.
"Let's go, Zhan!"
"Fight, Xiao Zhan!"
Backstage, a mysterious figure furtively adjusted the soundboard, swapping the original music with a familiar melody.
_Xiao Zhan's Song_: "Élan" → _WangXian Song_: "Wú Jià Yī Huì" (Unrestrained) from "The Untamed"
As the iconic piano riff of "Wú Jià Yī Huì" began, Xiao Zhan's eyes widened in shock. His mind racing, he struggled to maintain composure.
"Who changed the music?!"
"Fix it, now!"
"Keep going, Zhan!"
The crowd, recognizing the beloved song from "The Untamed," went wild.
"WangXian!"
"Mo Xuanyu!"
"Lan Wangji!"
Xiao Zhan's heart sank, memories of Wang Yibo flooding his mind. He forced a smile, attempting to power through the performance.
(Xiao Zhan singing)
"Wú jià yī huì, wú jià yī huì...
(In this life, in this life...)"
As he sang, his voice trembled, emotions threatening to overwhelm him. The crowd's fervor only intensified the pain.
(Xiao Zhan's thoughts)
"Why now? Why here?
The song's final notes faded, and Xiao Zhan's composure shattered. Tears streamed down his face, and he hastily exited the stage.
"Zhan, wait!"
"Xiao Zhan, are you okay?!"
Backstage, Xiao Zhan collapsed against a wall, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Who did this?!"
"Find out who changed the music!"
The mysterious figure watched from the shadows, a sinister smile spreading across their face
Xiao Zhan knelt beside the stage, his body racked with sobs. Staff members rushed to his side, attempting to comfort him.
"Xiao Zhan, please... stop crying!"
"Zhan, it's okay, we'll figure out what happened!"
"Get him some water!"
But Xiao Zhan couldn't be consoled. His emotions had reached a boiling point, and the dam had burst.
(Xiao Zhan, between sobs)
"Why... why did they do this?!
"Why now?!...
A staff member, Liu, gently placed a hand on Xiao Zhan's shoulder.
"Liu: "Zhan, it's going to be okay. We'll find out who changed the music."
Xiao Zhan's eyes pleaded, his voice cracking.
(Xiao Zhan)
"You don't understand...
That song...
It's... it's Yibo...
Liu's expression softened.
"Liu: "We'll get through this, Zhan. You're not alone."
But Xiao Zhan's pain was too raw. He shook off Liu's hand, burying his face in his arms.
(Xiao Zhan, sobbing)
"I miss him so much...
Eight months...
It feels like forever...
The staff exchanged worried glances, unsure of how to calm Xiao Zhan's stormy emotions.
"Get his manager!"
"Call his team!"
"Someone, do something!"
As the chaos ensued, Xiao Zhan's cries echoed through the emptying venue, a heart-wrenching testament to his shattered heart.
