Xiao Zhan thought he was still sleeping so he pinched himself hard but he didn't need to do that because his stomach was already grumbling with the aroma of the food, Wang ZhuoCheng was carrying in the tray for him. Wait for him? He pinched himself again.

"Quit acting like I'm a ghost. Hurry up and eat." Zhuocheng said and this time instead of pinching himself, Xiao Zhan landed a slap on his face.

Ouch!

Indeed. he was awake.

Zhuocheng just rolled his eyes and placed the food in front of him and sat next to him.Wait next to him? Just when Xiao Zhan was about to slap himself again, Zhuocheng shoved a spoon full on food into his mouth.

"Felt that? Its real!"

Xiao Zhan awkwardly laughed and gulped the food down his throat. He pushed his brain cells to remember what led to this development. He remembered yesterday he went to scream out his lungs with Qi Pei Xin in the local Karaoke club and when he came back home, he was exhausted so he decided to take a nap. But that nap continued all evening and throughout night.

Well that would explain his overly agitated stomach but what about the guy next him. Xiao Zhan scratched his skull hard but his brain was begging for forgiveness. He should feed himself first before torturing.

ZhuoCheng didn't go away, he sat there staring at his gege until the last bite of food was swallowed down his gut. He felt accomplished and carried the tray out.

"Wait!" Xiao Zhan called.

"Yes?"

"Ahh..haha...thank you for the food." Xiao Zhan didn't know what else to say. It was kinda awkward.

"Hmn." Zhuocheng said and disappeared.

Xiao Zhan got up and took a bath. After that he checked his phone and the time was 11:00 AM already! He really did sleep a lot. He hadn't slept like a log in years. Should he thank his medicine? Honestly it was refreshing. There were messages from his Psychiatrist but Xiao Zhan decided to reply them later.

He went downstairs to greet everyone but there was no one. The sweet fragrance of something familiar invaded his nostrils and his feet carried him to the kitchen where he was greeted with Vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.

Xuan Lu was baking sweets.

Xiao Zhan went straight to the bowl with chocolate topping, he dipped his finger and let the taste melt into his tongue. It was heaven!

"A-Xian! Wash your hands first."

"But I just took a bath, Jie."

Xuan Lu was overly joyed when he started calling her jie. But more than that, she was glad that her brother openly told her about his Mental illness and constant depression. She could finally help him recover. In fact, yesterday, she told Pei Xin to take his uncle Zhan to Karaoke and let him shout as much as he could. It was said to help get rid of inner turmoil if you shout. The anger and frustration would recede and little by little it will finally go away. Xuan Lu also didn't let anyone wake up Xiao Zhan even though he slept literally for 20 hours. It was a lost time for sleepless nights, she said. And now she was baking sweets, which she knew would lighten up his mood. Wang Zhuocheng contributed with the food and made easily digestible yet tasty breakfast.

"Jie, where is everyone?"

"Father, mother and A-Yu are at work. A-Xin with his friends and you already met A-Cheng."

Xiao Zhan awkwardly laughed and rubbed the nape of his neck. Of course, it was the most awkward breakfast of his life. Xiao Zhan had to stuff every last bit of food in to his mouth because Wang Zhuocheng was giving him if-you-dare-leave-a-single-grain-I-will-break-your-leg look. Xiao Zhan felt he had eaten more in these 3 days compared to last 3 months. But the most surprising part was, he didn't throw up. Not even once. Even the intake of water to ease his abdomen  would result him in throwing up and he didn't feel any pain either. He was happy.

Xiao Zhan was sitting in the drawing room, turning channel after channel, looking for something good to watch to kill the time. He didn't realize that Wang Zhuocheng came and sat next to him.

"Let's have a match, Gege."

Xiao Zhan almost jumped in surprise and saw ZhuoCheng holding an old game, which they used to play a lot as kids.

"Sure."

Zhuo Cheng plugged the game took out their game controller. They had three of them in three colors, purple, pink and red. You can guess which color belonged to which sibling.

Xuan Lu brought the freshly baked cookies with three different flavors and sat in between the two brothers. She would feed the cookies to whomever won the round.

"You're going down Gege!"

"You need to catch me first!"

The sound of the game, singing of their laughter and scent of the sweets spread in the entire house. It was rowdy but it brought peace.

The three of them made lunch together and decided to have a spicy food eating competition. Xuan Lu only allowed Xiao Zhan to eat too much spice if he promised to have proper intake of water, she didn't want him to have abdomen pain again.

They had bowl of soup each with bottles of chili sauce. The game was simple, with each spoon they would have add one spoon of chili sauce in the soup and whoever could finish the soup would be the winner. The winner had the privilege to make the losers obey with which ever demand.

"You better buckle your belt, because I have a perfect punishment planned for you." Xiao Zhan mocked with full of arrogance, after all he had always won the competition. Let's ignore the fact that he used to take advantage of little tummy capacity of baby cheng back then.

"Those were the old days, Gege. Let's see if you can beat me now." Zhuocheng was equally cocky and gave him a smug smile. The two bragged about their abilities into each other's face. And the end result was equally marvelous with Xuan Lu taking the game.

The two had their jaw dropped, they could not believe that their sister just emptied the entire bottle of sauce in her soup and drank it without a blaze.

The two gulped in horror because they knew exactly what the punishment was going to be.

Xiao Zhan was making fun of Zhuocheng; who was wearing a Bell tutu on top of his clothes. And few minutes later, it was Zhuocheng who was making fun of Xiao Zhan; who had to wear the Basque tutu on top of his clothes. Xuan Lu on the other hand was wearing a beautiful Romantic Tutu. She giggled at the memory how she used to dress up her little brothers with her dresses and makeup.

Three were dancing on the Classical melody of Blue Danube. Of course, Xiao Zhan and Zhuocheng were just kicking each other on the face, every time they had to do arabesque. Xiao Zhan made sure to click the ugliest of the pictures from the most inappropriate angels to black mail Zhuocheng while Zhuocheng made sure to land a kick or two every time he dared to click a picture.

When the music reached it's peak, the two brothers were completely engulfed by the swift and delicate moments of the angelic figure in front oh them. They didn't realize that they had already stopped fighting and were embracing the rays of light emitting out of that slender figure. She was simply ethereal. When she ended the ballet the two blinked many times before finally bursting into the tears of happiness. They felt so blessed that heavens sent them angel in form of their sister.

After they changed their dresses, it was already time for dinner. Pei Qin texted that he won't be back home because he made up with his friends. And they were going to have a sleep over. Cao Yu Chen was so tired that he went straight to bed while Lu Jian Min and Zhang Jing tong normally come back around 10 or 11 PM. That was something that hadn't changed, what could they do, their parents were just workaholic. The three had a light dinner because they didn't want to repeat the afternoon disaster and went back to their bed to sleep.

. . .

"You're still here? Didn't your shift end long ago?" Meng Ziyi came to fetch his cousin Zhang Fenxing when he saw that the Doctor was still inside. She stepped inside to find that there was only the light of small lamp and he had already put away his tools and kit. The key was already in his hand to lock the door and yet he was staring into his phone like a lost puppy.

"He didn't reply to me at all today."

"He could be busy. You don't know how LuLu is. She probably pampered him all day." Meng Ziyi laughed at the thought. Xuan Lu had always been kind and caring. She would know.

"Do you think he suspects me? He purposely sent me the name Liu Hai Kuan yesterday."

"Oh? You know the more he talks about his past, the more he's bound to remember."

"I also want to see if he truly remembers..."

"Did you tell your brother yet?"

"I did."

"And?"

"He's already in Beijing."

There was long silence before Meng Ziyi said again

"You know, I don't blame you for what happened. Everything was just a...mess back then. I'm sure he'll forgive you all if you talk to him."

Meng Ziyi didn't wait for his reply and went back home with his cousin.

The Doctor just stared at the screen until it went blank on its own.
