A small funeral was held in the middle of winter, due to poverty it was small and held in the deceased person's house. Only a few people attended the funeral, small yet people are genuine about this event.

An emotionless boy is standing next to the casket of the deceased, he did not shed a tear, he is just standing there with no thoughts in mind

"Little Fen.. Rest for a while" A carrying yet worried voice spoke

The boy shakes his head, and looks at the casket.

"I'm alright Grandma Shu, I'll stay here till the funeral is done, thank you for helping me arrange, I'll pay you back.."

Grandma Shu sigh and holds both of the boy's hands, with a sad smile she slowly look at the boy

"Do not worry too much about that, child. You do not have to pay anything back, I'm too old to keep all the wealth to myself!"

"Child sit down, you've been standing there for almost 4 hours now, how about we take a sit and talk more?"

The boy nods and follows Grandma Shu, he sits on the nearest row to the casket

"Ah, child where will you live now?"

"I don't know.. I guess I'll be working to pay for a small apartment"

Grandma Shu

"Hayaa.. Child my home is open.."

"You helped me enough, Grandma Shu"

"There is no such thing as enough helping someone, you're too young to work out there! And let alone living all by yourself!"

The boy sighs and lays his back on the seat.. With a tired expression in his face he covers his eyes with his right hand

"Grandma Shu, I'll be fine.. I want to be independent, I can't always have things handed to me, right?"

"Stubborn child, Well then, if you ever need help I'll be willing to lend you a hand"

"Thank you, grandma Shu"

After the small talk he stands up again and looks at his mother's casket

"You told me not to cry.. You told me not to shed a tear at your own funeral.. Why is that?"

"Why do I have to be stone cold? Was it because I won't stop crying?"

Many questions filled the boy's confused heart and mind, he doesn't know what to feel, what to think and what to do. Outside he seems calm but deep in.. He is nothing more than a poor guy with no one by his side.

"Ahh.. I should stop asking you.. You must have a great reason for that. Farewell mom.."

After the funeral, The boy is cleaning the event place, he refused to hire anyone to clean it because of the price.

The door suddenly opens without even looking, the boy sighs and continues cleaning

"I didn't hire a cleaning servi-"

"We're not here to clean.." A low and cold voice full in the quiet room

The boy slowly turns his head towards the voice, he sees a man standing in the front door, wearing the most fancy and expensive looking suit you'll ever see!

"You must be in the wrong address.."

"No, this is the right address. Are you perhaps Fen Xiao?"

The boy tightens his grips in the map.. And back up a bit to secure a distance from the stranger

"What.. what do you want, sir?"

"I see, Xi did not tell you anything, that's unfortunate."

Another man walks in the small room, he looks quite gentle and younger compared to the first man, as soon as he sees Fen Xiao he smiles and waves his hand

"He looks like he would snap in half if I hold him." The man suddenly remarks

The boy tightens his grips in the map.. And back up a bit to secure a distance from the stranger

"What.. what do you want, sir?"

"I see, Xi did not tell you anything, that's unfortunate."

Another man walks in the small room, he looks quite gentle and younger compared to the first man, as soon as he sees Fen Xiao he smiles and waves his hand

"He looks like he would snap in half if I hold him." The man suddenly remarks

Fen Xiao paused for a moment.. What the fuck did he just heard...

'Snap in half!?! What the hell??' Fen Xiao says to himself

"Don't scare him away, father will scold up if he gets away."

That sets Fen Xiao's alert and holds the map in a defensive pose, the men were taken back, but laughing filled the room

"Oh my that's cute, look at him brother"

"Don't move. I don't know what your deal is but you're acting like a creep."

The men laughed again and tried to approach Fen Xiao, thankful the map's body is made out of steel, he swings that in the head of the man

Silence filled the room.. All of them were dumbfounded, something red drips on the floor...

"Shit!" The other man cursed

"Wow.. you're still conscious after that..? What are you? A freaking Wattpad toxic ml?" That slip out of Fen Xiao's mouth, he quickly covered it

"Ow ow ow!!" The man holds his head and sits on the floor

"Wait a watt what..?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The room was snapped back to reality when a cold voice, clear her throat and walks in

"You idiots are taking too long" She said and looks at Fen Xiao dead in the eyes

She then smiles

"You must be Fen Xiao, you look like a bitch just like these two"

Fen Xiao frowned and now he is convinced.. All of these people are insane!

'I need to find a way to somehow escape from this place! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!! Think of a way!!' Fen might look calm but within him he is just in pure panic mode

"W-What the hell do you want!?" He asked, still keeping the defensive pose

"You." The other man said as he tended to his brother's wound

That snaps Fen Xiao and runs towards the back door, escaping along with the steel map to protect himself

Fen Xiao runs as fast as he can and makes sure to check his phone and call 911!

After what seems like forever, the police started arriving at his location, he could finally breathe! But oh well-

The police smile

"Now, now, you're quite hard to catch"

"F-FU-MHNMM!!!" Fen Xiao tried to scream before he faints
