"You will take care of yourself there?" Xiao Zhan asked as he busy comforting the crying Yibo.

Yibo nodded, wiping his tears on Xiao Zhan's shirt. Xiao Zhan laughed silently. Xiao Ming, Xiao Bao and Wulian laughing at their action. It's embarrasingly cute. Wulian shook her head and nudged Yibo to move away from Xiao Zhan.

"Stop crying, Yibo. We will miss our flight if you keep clinging onto A'Zhan like that," his mom said.

Yibo cried harder "No! Let's miss our flight. I don't want to go," he said.

Wulian sighed, massaging her temple at the thought. She glanced at Xiao Zhan who nodded. Xiao Zhan hold Yibo by his shoulders and push away, letting their eyes meet. Xiao Zhan chuckled and wiped the tears off of Yibo's face.

"Come on, Bo-di. Be good for gege, alright? Promise me that you will do whatever your mom say. Don't you pity her?" He asked.

Yibo sniffed, "B-but..."

Xiao Zhan pulled out the lock from his shirt, showing it to Yibo.

"Promise?" He asked.

Yibo looked up, staring at the lock he remember he gave Xiao Zhan on Christmas night. A genuine smile formed on his face.

"Promise!" He said showing his key at Xiao Zhan.

"Alright, now that you're in a good mood, say goodbye to them. We are going now," Wulian said, holding Yibo's hand.

Yibo waved his hand and followed his mother to the departure area. Xiao Zhan huffed, feeling sad that now Yibo has walked away. Xiao Bao clung to him.

"Zhanzhan, he will be fine. You acted too fatherly around him don't you?" She asked.

Xiao Zhan scratched his neck.

"Oh, am I? I don't realise it myself" he said, laughing.

Xiao Ming coughed behind them "What's wrong with it? To me he look the happiest than when he first got here," he said, teasingly.

Xiao Zhan nudged him.

"Alright, stop it. It's only for a while though still I'm glad to be there for him when he need it," he said.

Three of them nodded and decided to go home. When Xiao Zhan entered his bedroom, he noticed how empty it is now. Usually he will find, Yibo sleeping or messing with his stuff while he working. Now the bed is clean and there's no crinkles found on it. There is a box sitting perfectly on the corner of his room. It belongs to Yibo. All the stuff that Xiao Zhan bought for him and some from his own house were inside the box. He kneeled next to the box and started to opened it. Most of the inside were comic books and toys. Like remote car, old gameboy, pictures of him when he was a child, his mini motorbike. Xiao Zhan can only sighed at it.

It reminded him of his childhood, it makes him kind of miss his parents. Maybe he should visit his parents when he has time. He put it back inside the box and close it before he grab his books and head to his campus.

Three years passed by, Xiao Zhan still don't hear any news from Yibo. He will graduate soon so he got busy with assignments and works too. Recently, he started to do online business. He create logos and stickers for his customers. He admit that it's hard but he enjoy doing it. He has time to kill if he's done with workshop and school. He also has a girlfriend. A girl friend.

"I swear to god, if that bastard didn't properly confess to me I will marry you," Xuan Lu said, slurpping her drink.

Xiao Zhan cringed "Stop whining. You can confess to him instead, it wouldn't change anything though. You guys still can get married," he said.
