Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan spent only a week in the U.S doing team building, work and art techniques before going back to China with them to continue.

This time they added free time for them to explore and classes to learn common phrases to communicate.

Zhao had them visit his gallery and get one free item from Cuge'S and called it a day. Shen and him passed everything to little Guo and Ye Huo.

Two months have passed and everything was successful.

Throughout the days, Zhao only became clingy, touchy and affectionate with Shen. Everybody now knows that they are an unseperable duo.

If their ever apart they ask about the other or know about their exact movement.

When the day came to send off the college kids back to the U.S shen wei thought he saw a figure similar to Zhijiu and froze, sweat starting dripping and he shivered.

Shen Wei has gone through this many times when he goes out into a crowd and shut his eyes chanting that he's okay.

Zhao noticed Shens behavior and got worried. He didn't want to impose on Shens business since he didn't know his position as he just barged in into everything related to Shen but he didn't ever think he was a problem for Shen so he Continued to walk on egg shells.

"Shen Wei, I know I'm usually aloof, careless and you could say a pushover.....(to you). But I still notice how hurt you are and I want you to share that with me so I can help you," said Zhao gripping Shens shoulder and staring intently onto each other's eyes.

"Zha-," Shen Wei was interrupted by Zhujiu calling him out in a distance. Shen weis eyes widen as he slowly turns his head in the direction of Zhujiu's voice.

Shen Wei tried to say something and then he turned back to Zhao in fear. Shen  made a big gap between them and crossed his arms braving himself for what's to come.

Zhao recognized Shens ex husband and thought they'd get back together. He couldn't let that happen when their relationship has developed far more than he could ever let go of.

He made habits with Shen, every morning they'd eat breakfast together. Shen would pick out his clothes and tidy up his place without complaint. Zhao revealed to Shen that when looking at him he gets inspiration and now had an hour or two for Zhao to sketch him.

They got into terrarium and bottle ship making. Evenings are for them two, just sitting there watching TV and shen reading. In the night as they gaze at the stars Zhao helps Shen crochet. When they drive here and there they speak about meaningless things, or nostalgic things that make them laugh and sometimes have deep conversations.

All of it, Zhao has treasured and placed it in his heart cautiously. And he can't forget his ever growing love for Shen now not like before when he had nothing and could most definitely suppress his feelings.

But if shen chooses Zhujiu he wouldn't be able to force Shen to stay.
Because he believed whatever they had together compared to Zhujiu's time it was nothing. How can he beat that?

When Shen has made up his mind no one can say otherwise. In fact, Shen might look at him with cold and disgust maybe anger too.

Zhao couldn't bare the thought of never being able to be apart from Shen so he waited for these two interaction with weak determination to prevent it all.

Shen Wei slowly walked and almost tripped on nothing to Zhujiu not wanting Zhao to look at his current state.

Zhujiu noticed Shen signaling him to talk outside the airport and they did.

Zhao trailed along far behind with a solemn heart.

Rain starting trinkling down but starting to pour down hard making people surprised by the sudden rain storm trying to get to a dry place.

"What is it? What's left between us? Zhujiu," Shen Wei asked in a low voice avoiding Zhujius eyes.

"Why can't I visit my wife? If I asked you to strip right now! It's your duty to oblige. I own you, don't forget that!" Said Zhujiu.

"I wasn't sold to you. You didn't buy me from anywhere! It was me that decided to come to you. But now we are through! I am not yours anymore, Zhujiu. I am Shen Wei again," Shen replied trying not to be intimidated with the past.

"But I love you....I left my legitimate wife already! I can introduce you to my kids! And this time I won't lock you up in the mansion. Just give me one more chance, please" Zhujiu pleaded.

"What's the use of it now? It's been two years since we divorced! What love is there to have?" Shen Wei asked.

The last sentence being heard by Zhao.

Authord note: Sorry guys I have been back and updated when I did but my motivation to continue this has been dying out. I did promise to finish this and so I'll keep that. With that being said, the end is shortly approaching. I hope you have enjoyed it so far and continue to re read. The chapters have gone down from 1000 to 400 for my sake.
