It's been three days now Xiao Zhan didn't come out from his room. He didn't go to varsity. He is not talking with anyone. Nor he is eating properly. In a day maybe he is eating one time.
Again servant brought back Xiao Zhan food because he didn't open his door.

"Why.. Why my son is suffering like this?? And I can't do anything for him.. Why your parents make this decision like this? I love my in laws with my whole heart. I accept that decision easily. But now Xiao Zhan is suffering and Yibo is suffering too. Carman called she said Yibo's condition is same. Before their marriage situation is like this after their marriage what will happen?" Crystal Zhang asked helplessly.

"I can understand Crystal. It wasn't my parents fault nor ours. It was destined. It was in their faith maybe. I don't have anything to say about it." Lu Jian Min try to make his wife understand.

Crystal Zhang didn't say anything left the dining table silently. She was tired seeing his son condition.

It was 12am at night. Zhou Chen come in front Xiao Zhan's room. He knocked the door.

"Are you sleeping?" Zhou Chen asked from outside.

"No I am not. Do you want something? Come inside." Xiao Zhan replied.

Because of lack eating in three days Xiao Zhan was looking a bit thin. Zhou Chen never felt this much sad for his brother. He was sitting in front window on the floor. Zhou Chen go inside and sit beside couch of Xiao Zhan.

"Here you go your favourite chocolate coffee." Zhou Chen said and handed to Xiao Zhan.

"Thank you big brother. Why didn't you sleep yet?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"Well.. You are not sleeping too." Zhou Chen said.

"A-Xian from childhood mom loves you more you know that right? Why you are hurting her? Why you are not eating properly nor sleeping. You have dark circles around your eyes you are looking thin. A-Xian I am not big sister. I don't know how to make you understand everything. But you have to understand that. Whatever happens between you and Wang Yibo because of that you shouldn't let others suffer. Especially mom. Become normal like before A-Xian." Zhou Chen was saying all things while caressing Xiao Zhan's hair and making him understand.

"I know it's all my fault. I shouldn't do that. I thought maybe if I stay alone I can figure out what I really want. But I didn't know unknowingly I am making everyone suffer." Xiao Zhan said that while crying.

"You idiot why you are crying? Just become normal don't hurt mom anymore." Zhou Chen hug Xiao Zhan and said that.

"Yes yes. I will big brother. Big brother I made you suffer too. I am sorr..." Zhou Chen interrupt by slapping Xiao Zhan head.

"Stop thinking you are that much special. Go to sleep right now. I am going to sleep now." By saying this he was about to left for his room.

"Hahaha. I love you too big brother." Xiao Zhan shout teasingly.

"Shut up idiot.." Zhou Chen gone by saying this.

"I will be fine from tomorrow. No more sadness." Xiao Zhan thought himself. He turn off the light of his room.

But there was someone who was standing in front his house. He was staring at Xiao Zhan's room. It's been three days now. Wang Yibo didn't attend varsity too. Till late night. He stood in front Xiao Zhan's house. And keep staring at Xiao Zhan room.

I wish you said who hurt you this much. You didn't even attend classes. Who makes you cry this much. If you had told me that time. I would have already punish that person. Xiao Zhan I don't like lies nor fake things. You are the most purest and naive person I ever know. I don't know why you lied that no one hurt you. And about that night. If I didn't take Zhao Lusi name you already hate me. I can bear anything but not your hate. You can't hate me. You are not allowed to hate me. Though I hate the way you smile at everyone....

"Mom..." I answered mom's call finally. Mom already called me 5 times.

"Where are you?? Did you see its 1am now? Where are you son?" Mom asked worriedly. I couldn't help but rolled my eyes on her.

"Mom.. I am not a kid anymore so stop whining. I am coming back I'm in few minutes." I replied and cut the call before she can scream more.

Next morning it was weekend. Xiao Zhan was still sleeping like baby.

It was 9am. Xiao Zhan wake up with cheerful mind. Everyday is a new day. He keeps chanted. He comes down for breakfast.

"My baby boy is here. My baby boy. Why you are looking thin? By seeing you like this. I feel like crying now. Come fast and start eating a lot." Crystal Zhang said.

They all start eating silently. Suddenly Xiao Zhan phone start ringing. It was from Huang Jingyu. Crystal Zhan notice it. It was from Huang Jingyu. As she was sitting beside Xiao Zhan.

"Baby. Eat breakfast then receive the call." Crystal Zhang replied.

"Yes mom. After eating I will call him and tell him come back tomorrow. So that he can attend my birthday party." Xiao Zhan said excitedly.

"NO..." Everyone said it in unison. By seeing their reaction Xiao Zhan get scared.

"I mean Xiao Zhan. You don't have to asked him come back now. He has exam. If you asked him to come back now. He will definitely come back. He will miss his exams. So don't asked him to come back now." Lu Jian Min trying to make his son understand.

"Yes. A-Xian don't do that. It will be lost for him if he didn't attend his exam." Xuan Lu replied.

"I didn't know about his exam. OK I won't ask him to come back now." Xiao Zhan replied.

"And baby. You are going for shopping with LuLu after breakfast." His mom said.

"Ok mom. I will go with big sister." Xiao Zhan replied while mooching the food.

After eating breakfast. Xiao Zhan and Xuan Lu left for shopping already. Crystal Zhang phone starts ringing.

"Why she is calling me now?" She mumbled.

"Hello CiCi. How are you?? It's been many days we didn't talk." By hear that name Zhou Chen and Lu Jian Min attention goes to her conversation.

(CiCi Liu, Zhao Lusi's mother)

(Wang Yi Zhou, Zhao Lusi's father)

"Yes. Yes I am very sorry. I didn't contact. We were busy with Lusi's study. How are you?" Crystal Zhang already know she is giving excuse. Still didn't say anything.

"I am fine. We are also busy with..." She was about to say something CiCi Liu cut her.

"Xiao Zhan birthday party right? You guys must be start decorating everything?" CiCi Liu asked.

"Yes we already started. You guys should come too. It will be good reunion." Unwillingly she invited them.

"Yes yes of course we will come. See you at birthday party." CiCi Liu said and hang up the call.

"Mom are you crazy? Why did you invite them? I know he is my uncle. Still he always thinks himself high. And his that daughter. She is devil herself. Why did you invite them?" Zhou Chen asked.

"What should I do? She said herself about Xiao Zhan birthday. I had to invite her." Crystal Zhang replied.

"Though he is my brother. Still I hope they are not making any plan this time." Lu Jian Min said calmly.

Conversion between CiCi Liu and Zhao Lusi.

"Yes I already called her my baby daughter. But what I am thinking something. There is something wrong. Her voice was betraying her talk. It was seem like she don't want us to join Xiao Zhan's birthday party." CiCi Liu said.

"Don't worry mom. We won't talk with them after I getting close with Wang Yibo. I just want to be with Wang Yibo. Then we will end contract with them again." Zhao Lusi replied with a grin.

"Yeah yeah I know Wang Yibo. OK I will call you later. Take care baby." By saying this she cut the call.

"What you are trying to hide Crystal? Sooner or later I will find out. This is about my daughter future. I have to be careful." In determining voice CiCi Liu said herself.
