"We are here..." Wuxie yelled happily as soon as the door opened before him. A heavy bag was in his hands which minimalized his happiness display.

"ha-ha... I'm not that happy." Yanjing who opened the door said.

"Huh? Why it's you?" it was then Wuxie saw the person who opened the doors for him.

"That's what I want to ask too. Why it's you?" Yanjing asked acting all irritated. He didn't see anyone besides Wuxie or let's say he didn't see the one he was eager to see.

Yanjing stepped out of the room and looked along the corridor. A big smile appeared as he saw someone coming. Yanjing shoved Wuxie beside and ran to Xiao Hua who was carrying a heavy box.

As Yanjing approached Xiao Hua, he snatched the bag from Xiao Hua.

"I'll carry it. Oh! It's heavy." Yanjing said as he felt the weight of the bag.

Wuxie was sullen as he had to carry his bag himself. He didn't wait for Yanjing and entered the house as it is his own.

"Why no one is thinking of me? Am I invisible?" said Pangzi.

Pangzi was right behind Xiao Hua dragging a big black case but Yanjing didn't see. Pangzi also had two small laptop bags hung by his neck.

"Pangzi. I didn't see you. Hehe. Sorry, but my hands are occupied."

"I'll take this." Xiao Hua whose bag was snatched by Yanjing offered help. He took the small bags from Pangzi. Pangzi was grateful but didn't forget to glare at Yanjing. Xiao Hua walked ahead and the other two were practically limping.

"Boss Yanjing. Don't forget it's me who you know first."

"Hehe... I won't, I won't." Yanjing assured with his trademark stupid smile.

They both too entered the house. Yanjing was startled when Wuxie spoke near to his as he stepped in.

"Where is Xiao ge?"

"AH! You startled me."

"Answer me."

"He is not here."

"I can see that."

"He went out."

"Where?"

"He- Wait a minute. Why should I tell you?"

Yanjing tried to play a little. He moved away and placed the bag down with others in due care. In the bags were laptops, and computer parts, tracking devices, and other electronic devices. Yanjing when turned back was met with laser-shooting eyes.

"Oh my god relax, will you?" Yanjing seeing the furious mode of Wuxie, flipped his tone.

Yanjing led Wuxie to the couch, the same he slept the other day.

"Sit here. I'll get you guys something to drink." Yanjing tactfully avoided Wuxie and went to the kitchen.

Hehe, it's my sweet revenge. How do you like that, Wuxie? Yanjing smirked playfully.

Wuxie, Xiao Hua, and Pangzi were completely wasted after they had set up their computer system and a mini portable office. Yanjing was long gone to café.

"Finally." Wuxie falls back to the sofa with a sigh.

"So, what next?" Xiao Hua asked. Pangzi who was wolfing down a jar of water looked at Xiao Hua with a pleading eye.
