How Wufan falls in love with a panda...

Lovely Panda...
It was funny how things you didn't look at probably always appeared to be so much more beautiful than those things you spend a lot of time observing on. Many would disagree in that aspect, but for Wufan it had always been like that. His first love. The first pair of shoes he had bought from his own money. His appearance after his first visit at a hair salon. At first glance it had always been wonderful, but after a time everything had just turned dull and boring.
The more you look at it, the less appealing it is.
Those were the words that had burned itself into Wufan's mind, so he would always like to try new things. Try them once and then leave them be so they would stay beautiful in his memories for good.
But how come he didn't feel like that after meeting that certain panda at a visit at the zoo with his little niece? How come those baggy eyes, that well toned skin and those pitch-black hair seemed like something he could look at forever without getting tired of it? Had Wufan maybe found his match for life?
"This little guy here is called Zitao", explained the boy with the most mesmerizing smile Wufan had ever seen. "Actually that's my name, but because he looked so much like me, when he was still a little baby, the zoo director called him that. Now there is not much of a resemblance anymore as I am thin and tall and this fellow here stayed small and turned out fatter than expected." He started laughing and patted the panda on its head while it was crunching on some leaves. "But he didn't lose his cuteness, did he?" And while everyone would think that those words were directed to the younger audience looking and pointing at the hairy little fella, Zitao's eyes couldn't help but look into Wufan's direction and concentrate on the stranger for a few long seconds.
The both of them looked at each other for a little while, Zitao still smiling and Wufan still in his own little world not being able to explain to himself what was actually going on with him and how this panda like guy could have possibly made him lose his cool.
Wufan's heart was beating like crazy and every second he told himself to look away and save those feelings for eternity, he just had to stare even harder and get closer, so much closer to that beautiful beautiful beautiful person.
"I'm Wufan", he said without really thinking about it. His eyes were still fixed on Zitao, who was dressed all in black with a golden name tag pinned to his left chest and the green bucket in his hand. "I'm Wufan", he repeated after letting go of the hand of his little niece who ran towards the fence.
Zitao was about to say something when the strange guy came way too close for a stranger to actually do. Still a little irritated at the tall guy's stare, but just as amazed, since he hadn't seen such an angelic person before, he smiled again.
"I'm Zitao", he pointed at his name tag and laughed. "But I just said that." He showed his teeth and couldn't help but stare back at the blond guy who suddenly started smiling.
"Ehm, is something the matter?", Zitao asked sincerely but Wufan just repeated his words, leaving Tao in an irritated state.
"I'm Wufan", he said for the fourth time already. "And I think I need to get to know you properly, Zitao."
