The house was pretty spacious from the inside unlike what it looked from the outer appearance, proving how deceiving the outer looks can be especially in the backyard. If only the situation was any good the prince would have jumped in joy just by the looks of it. A large area planted with several mosses and bonsai plants with a pond in between making it look aesthetic, just to the liking of the prince yet, other than a fleeting look the prince didn't show much interest in anything as he wandered around the house. As time passed by the officer could see the way the prince has been behaving all along. It was as if the prince wasn't himself at all, looking lost all the time, giving in so easily in any argument wait! it wasn't even an argument Zhan just had to say something and the prince would agree readily which was so unlikely from his usual self. And Zhan who always complained about the stubbornness of the prince realized that he would rather like the stubborn playful prince than this obedient gloomy prince this version of Yibo was too well behaved for what the officer was used to.
The officer could understand that things were quite hectic for the prince at the moment but he also wouldn't encourage worrying about something you can do nothing. Peculiarly not when that person is someone he wishes to be jovial for every moment of his life. Zhan would have preferred it more if the prince just spoke to him than worrying by himself. At the same time, the officer also understood that the prince didn't want to bother him more than he already was by sharing his worries too. Zhan wanted to do something, anything that could help the prince or even just divert him but his mind cautioned him that doing so might burden the prince instead of making him feel better. Because the prince has always been the kind that would rather take all the burden for himself than bothering the people around him, that was his way of dealing with the problems. To share the joy but not the worry. So accepting Zhan's help and coming here along with the officer itself showed that the prince began to rely on Zhan much more than he has ever relied on anyone. Hence the officer feared that if he pushes Yibo too much it would only cause harm than good. So the officer could only sign in frustration as he kept on thinking about what to do
"You look worried." Came a voice and just as expected it was Wen Qing who was probably there to give the things Zhan asked for. Now that the Zhan was out of his thoughts looking around the prince was nowhere to be found as he was about to search for him
"He went inside saying he wants to rest for some time" Before Zhan could even ask the answer came
"He will be okay so don't worry too much officer Wei"
"I'm not worried about anyone"
"You don't have to lie to me, officer Wei. I can clearly understand you are worried about him and not because he is your mission but because you care about him. I could feel it even when you talked about bringing him here yesterday. When you called saying you need a safe place to stay I understood it wasn't just a mission but someone that you wish to protect desperately. It even shows on your face whenever you speak about him "
