"Promise me one thing Yibo. You will never fall in love with me."
"Why Zhan?"
"It's forbidden. To me, it's fatal."
After losing a valuable part of his life at an early age, Xiao Zhan decided to try his hand on sculpture. Soon enough, his talent...

Just when I jumped, in the hell of your heart; dark, unexplored, thrilling; I found it lost, as if it never existed. And You... felt like a déjà vu.
A week passed after that horrible incident. I couldn't drag myself to utter a single word about asking for his wellbeing. However, Mom checked onto me here and there, but she too just like such an intelligent person, didn't mention anything that could trigger the anxiety again. I hadn't gone out of my room ever since that day.
The knocking on the door dragged me out of the daze. It was my mom, so I told her to come in. But something wasn't right, hesitation was evident in her face. As I replied to proceed with whatever she has in her mind, the later part got me.
"Please, I know it is hard for you, but I guess we should, I mean you should too meet Zhan for once." She said, and to be honest I couldn't deny it anymore. Of course it didn't fail to make me anxious but that too was for not reaching out. Something was binding me from going to him, to face him but then again that was the same thing to make me anxious for not meeting him.
"I will go." I said to my mom, and without wasting any chance she dashed out of my room for prepare herself and all.
"I believe you have visited in this meantime... how is he?" I asked leaning on the car window, it was raining outside so we couldn't have the chance to feel the running breeze as we had to close the pane. The droplets of wet clouds reminded me of the day when I hurt him.
"I hate it, I hate violin, I hate music, I hate you, Zhan!"
Thinking of it, I couldn't help but chuckle. How ironic it is that I literally replaced the word 'love' with 'hate' actually. The things I cherished but stated as if I detested. How foolish!
"He is okay, and your throwing wasn't the reason for his fainting." Mom sighed while massaging her temple.
"So?"
"He was sick previously and was supposed to take rest for few days. But he was so impatient to meet you and came all the way that day to gift you that. Thankfully, nothing was serious and even they apologized for being so ignorant and not knowing about your injury."
"he- he came to meet me even if he was sick. And I treated him like that. Huh, jokes on my life." I laughed.
I laughed. So creepily that made my mother flinch away. Obviously, it was so weird for a person to laugh at such moments but I did. And of course, it would seem weird as they still don't know the full of it.
"We are here, ma'am." Our driver said as we entered Xiao territory. The main gate was guarded by security but as soon as they saw our car, immediately guided us to inside. Guess, we are familiar now?
Now that I see, Zhan has pretty big area and nonetheless there ARE sculptures in the garden as well which literally reeked beauty. Some were made of marble, some were of soil... some were just abstract. It was such a huge area that it literally took five minutes to reach the mansion by car.
