24: Freedom, Peace & Happiness

Arthor's pov

City Y

Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan decided to go on a date in City Y. As the two was walking hand in hand Xiao Zhan stared at the skyline in awe.

"Omo, Gege, it's so pretty!" Xiao Zhan pouted, his hands pointed at the beautiful blend of pink and orange in the sky. Wang Yibo enjoyed the sight of Xiao Zhan looking like a cheerful 5 year old.

Wang Yibo couldn't help but sneaky steal a peck on Xiao Zhan's lips.

Lu Jian Min's mansion

It was time for Lu Jian Min's daily tea. Crystal Zhang sighed and opened the door. Her eyes stared in horri as she saw Lu Jian Min's lifeless body laying on the ground.

"Ahhh!!" A loud scream escaped out her mouth. Her eyes started filling up with tears. It's hard to tell what kind of tears. Maybe pain, Freedom or happiness. Maybe it's all of the above.

Lu Mansion staff came rushing.

Skip Time

The Mansion was on filled with news reporters, police and the families. Xiao Zhan was a bit quiet, he hid himself in a corner.

Crystal Zhang already read the letter. And she felt a strange rush though her body. Maybe relief?

Her eyes fixed on Lu Jian Min's coffin, she had a small smile on her face. Yet her eyes betrayed her, tears flowed down her eyes.

Wang Yibo and Wang Haoxuan felt out of place in this family settlement. But both knew this was the beginning of freedom. At least for the family.

Soon the letter context spread through out the family. Each person mentioned was someone who Lu Jian Min hurt. Maybe there was more.

Song Ji Yang held on to Wang Haoxuan. His pregnant belly rubbed against his husband's arm. Wang Haoxuan couldn't help but smile.

Xuan Lu sat quietly in the corner, her brother Zhou Cheng sat right next to her. The silence took over and everyone was locked in their own pain. And some type of happiness.

Everyone had their own feeling. Some felt more pain than others. Some felt freedom.

♪going out tonight
changes into something
red her mother doesn't like
kind dress♪

Wang Yibo came and sat next to Xiao Zhan. The younger boy looked so fragile and in pain.

♪everything she's never
had she's showing off
driving to fast moon
is breaking though her
hair♪

Did Wang Yibo pity the younger boy? No, this younger boy her loved. Not pity but pained to see the younger in tears.

♪shes heading for
something that she
won't forget♪

Wang Yibo held Xiao Zhan in his arms. Warmth! Warmth seeped though Xiao Zhan's body at the olders touch. Wang Yibo cooed at how small Xiao Zhan looked in his arms.

♪having no regrets
is all that she really
wants.
we only getting older
baby, and I have been
thinking about it
lately, does it ever
drive you crazy, just how
fast the night changes?"

[Flashback

"Mom!" A little Xiao Zhan yelled, his mother's eyes were filled with tears. Her little body was shaky.

She took a shark inhaler and quickly wiped her tears, "Yes baby? Oh yeah! My little baby must be hungry." She reached for his tiny arms. Xiao Zhan could sense his mother was in pain. But quickly distracted by his mother tears, but the food.

The tiny rabbit body cutely marched up to the food. His cheek puffed up as he was stuffing his face with dumplings. "Mm, yummy!" His eyes sparkle.

End of flashback]

♪everything that you're
ever dreamed of, disappearing
when you wake you
but there is nothing to be
afraid, even when the
changes, it will never
change me and you♪

Xiao Zhan looked over Wang Yibo's shoulder. There he saw his mother in tears. It felt different than the tears he saw his mother in when he was younger. He couldn't help but feel happiness.

Crystal Zhang tears flowed down her eyes. In her chest she felt the lingering feeling of peace.

Song Ji Yang moved closer to Wang Haoxuan. His body felt lighter and his eyes shed tears of freedom.
