The days were passing fast and Yibo becomes more worried about FanXing.

"Xuan Lu-Jie, Who bring FanXing to the nursery?".

"His mother, Why?".

"I want to talk to her". Xuan Lu shakes her head.

"I advise you to not do that, she is so thick-headed and won't listen to anything or anyone, she almost hit me when I told her about his condition one day". Yibo turns to look at FanXing and sighed.

"Still....I need to see her". He said slowly, Xuan Lu sighed as she can see how worried he is.

".....She comes to pick him late, after you go, at 12". Yibo looks at her in shock.

"12!!! The Nursery Close At 9 And I Return 10!! I Though He Left Before Me!!". Xuan Lu shakes her head.

"He leaves to stay outside and wait for her to come, but she always come at 12 and sometimes at 1, good thing that my house is next door so I can close anytime, one day I took him to my house and the police come to me the next day saying I tried to kidnap him, since that day I just observe him from far to not let anything happen to him". Yibo looks at FanXing sadly, how can his mother do that to him? Isn't she worried about him? He is still young, how can she leave him like that on a cold night??

Yibo didn't return home and wait for FanXing's mother to pick him up, Xiao Zhan calls him and asked when he will come, but Yibo said he don't know, when he finish talking to the mother he will return.

Xuan Lu gives the key to Yibo before she leaves to her house, so now Yibo looks at FanXing who was sitting near the garden field gloomily, he walks to him and sit next to him.

"FanXing, are you feeling cold??". FanXing turns to look at him but turn to look away, Yibo sighed and take out a blanket and wraps it around him, then he gets out a bread from his bag.

"You didn't eat dinner yet, here, this is for you". FanXing looks at the bread than at him.

"......Can I??". Yibo nodded for him happily and FanXing takes it slowly from him and starts eating it, Yibo pats his head.

"You are a good boy FanXing". FanXing ignore him and kept eating, but Yibo can see the tears in his eyes, he suddenly remembers something Xiao Zhan said when he was in a coma.

"......Who Knows, maybe you will be a light in someone's life someday....".

And that voice he heard before he wakes up....Was it FanXing's voice calling for help? Is that why he couldn't ignore him from the first meeting? He felt like something pulling him to this kid, he has that aura that pulls him closer to take care of him, it's natural for an adult to look after a child but this is a special case, this kid is not normal and he is in a state of collapsing, which need fast treatment.

"FanXing, do you like school??". Yibo start a conversation with him, he wants to get anything from him since FanXing is not talkative, FanXing turn to look at him and nodded slowly.

"Do you have friends??". FanXing looks down sadly and shakes his head.

"How about being my friend??". FanXing looks up at Yibo who smile at him.

"......But.....Lao Bo-----".

"FANXING! Let's Go!". A Loud and firm voice cut their conversation, Yibo turns to look at the drunken woman and he stands up.

"Nice to meet you, I am----".

"I know who you are, we need to leave". She grabbed her son's hand firmly and pull him to stand up, seeing that Yibo stopped the mother.

"Sorry but I need to talk to you, Mrs. Zheng!". The woman turns to look at him sharply.

"For What??".

"He didn't have spare clothes in his bag today or the other days too, please can you------".

"Did He Wet Himself Again??". She shouts and Yibo looks at FanXing who was all silent looking down in fear.

"...no, we let the kids play outside today and they get dirty, but he didn't have clothes". He said carefully.

"Then Don't Let Him Play Outside! He Doesn't Have Clothes!". She was about to turn around but Yibo talks to her.

"And there is something else".

"What is it?". She said firmly.

"Try not to come late please, as you can see the nursery close at 9, but now its one, it's dan----".

"Mind Your Own Business!". She shouts at him before she turns away and left pulling FanXing harshly to walk faster.

Yibo sighed sadly as he looks at FanXing walking away and his heart felt heavy, he locks the nursery doors and put it where Xuan Lu told him before he returns home all gloomy.

Xiao Zhan was waiting for him in the living room, when the door opened, he stands up to look at him.

"Finally you are home, are you ok?". Yibo looks at him sadly.

"....No". Hearing that low voice of him, Xiao Zhan touched his cold cheeks gently.

"Is everything ok? Why so sad??". Yibo shakes his head.

"Have a seat". Xiao Zhan let him sit on the sofa.

"It's FanXing, I talked to his mother today and she was treating him harshly, I feel so sad for him that my heart hurts". His tears fall and Xiao Zhan wipes them away with a smile, he remembered his mother words to him when he was crying sadly at how Yibo was when he gets bullied.

"Yibo, if you felt this way from the first time you meet his mother, you can't continue protecting FanXing, you have to be strong, to win him, try to find a way to save him, if not at home, then in the nursery, let him feel the peace there, with you". Yibo looks at Xiao Zhan's eyes and hugs him, Xiao Zhan hugs him back and pats his head.

"I wonder....if FanXing has someone he can hug like this". Xiao Zhan giggles at him.

"Why don't you be the one for him then?". Yibo looks up at him and smile.

"Un! I Will hug him every day". Xiao Zhan ruffled his hair and release the hug.

"That's Yibo I know~ Do your best".

"Un! Right! Where is Zan Jin? I didn't see him for few days?".

"He is with Hai Kuan, Hai Kuan's place is near his workplace, so it is easier for him to get out from there, also, it easier for Hai Kuan to take care of him since he is stupid for not taking his medicine". Yibo nodded and walk away to his room but stopped and turn to Xiao Zhan.

"Then.....It's only us again?". Xiao Zhan smiles at him and shakes his head.

"No, he is still one of us and he will come here from time to time, don't worry". Yibo smile.

"Good, then....good night".

"Good night".  He went to his room and close the door behind him, he lay on his bed and sighed.

"I need to do something to help FanXing".

******************************************************************

Zan Jin was with Hai Kuan watching a movie while eating popcorn.

"Zan Jin, I need your opinion on something". Hai Kuan took his attention, so he sits properly facing him.

"What is it??".

"My mother, I didn't dare to tell her that we found Yibo yet, I am afraid of her reaction too, also my father didn't tell her yet, few days ago he said she can't sleep well at night because of the nightmares, she keep shouting and saying it well be good if Yibo wasn't born, I am worried about this". Zan Jin sighed and think a little.

"I don't know what to tell you, if I have a brother, I will be so happy to find him, but....your case is different, let me discuss this with Xiao Zhan first then tell you".

"Ok, thanks Zan Jin".

"Anytime~ Yibo is my brother too and I will help him no matter what". He eats the popcorn, and they continue watching the movie.

What can I say?...😞

4/4/2021: Pray for my cousin, he was only 4 years old yet he passed away in a car accident, he was playing outside with his siblings under his father watch, when it was time to return inside the home, his father wanted to reach him but a careless driver speeds up and hit him before he even can reach his father, good things the others are fine, but for him....It's his fate🕊
His father is so depressed and blaming himself, it's not his fault, it's the driver fault for not being careful and playing with the phone while driving, please everyone be careful while driving, especially in residential areas, a lot of children plays outside, also if you let your kids play outside be careful too, some people are too careless...😞💔

Hope his parents and siblings are fine and stay strong...😞
