They were both looking up at the sky, watching the enormous moon shine above their heads while the breeze gently caressed their faces. No one had ingested the drinks in their hands, the ice inside them had already been consumed.

It has been a long time since they sat on that terrace in complete silence and immersed in their thoughts. They have wanted to investigate the other's discomfort, without knowing what is really happening, they have understood that right at that moment the questions are not necessary, much less when it is more than obvious that the answers will never come.

- It's strange.- Zhan was the first to speak.

- What? - Yibo moved his gaze towards the person next to him.

- When I'm upset I like to be alone. I hate having people by my side. Today I am here.... extremely upset but accompanied.- He directed his gaze towards Yibo.- With you.

- I'm the same way.- He sighed.- I hate being around people when I feel upset or sad but being with you I don't feel that way.

- I think I know what the answer is.

- Which?..

- You, Wang Yibo.- He pointed it out.- You are just like me.- He smiled softly.- I have noticed, we are very similar in many things and if so you hate being with others for the same reason as me.

- And what is that reason?- He smiled.

- Because you hate questions.- He arch an eyebrow.- Am I wrong?

- It seems that we are similar.- He looked forward again and smiled.

- Just like me, you hate it when people bombard you with questions when in reality what you want is to be silent, swallowing your anger or discomfort until it passes.

- That's right.- He nodded.- It makes me feel even more frustrated when they fill me with questions.

- You see? We are similar.- He sighed and then lay down on the couch.- If I'm honest, right now I feel a little better.

- Me too.- He smiled again.

- I don't know what charm you have but I must say that even I am surprised by my last actions.- He stared at Yibo. - I'm not usually close to people, the only person close to me is A'Yue... - He was silent.

- Before you said that you liked me as if I were a little brother. Or did you just say that because you were drunk? - His smile turned bitter.

- Not as a brother. - He denied. - But as a great friend.- He raised his foot and gently tapped Yibo's shoulder.- You are good at conquering people Wang Yibo.

- Officer...- The nurse gently touched Volkov's shoulder.- Officer.

- Yes? - He opened his eyes quickly. - What's happening? Did my mother wake up? - He got up quickly from his chair and walked towards the door to look through the glass.

- You should go rest, your mother is already out of danger.

- It's okay.- He watched his mother sleep.- I'll stay.

- If everything goes well, your mother will be moved to her room tomorrow.

- Thank you.
