Chapter : The end?

Zhan was sitting infront of his office desk. He was deeply thinking about Yibo and the words Jackson told to him. He felt guilty that Yibo had to take all this burdens, which not even was his fault. He sighed and rubbed his forehead, not to mention he was also hurting. It was just too much for them, so much. He stared at the little frame of his Bobo on the desk for sometime when suddenly the knocking of the door sound made him come out of the trance. He looked at the door.

"Come in"

Ji li walked in with a small smile and bowed, "Good morning Sir", he uttered. Zhan just nodded while looking at the other who walked forward waiting for him to speak. "Sir, the file-"

"Zhan"

Ji li looked at him when the other cut him off. Zhan stared at him, "When we two are alone no need to be formal Li", he said, sighed and looked down at the laptop. Ji li stared at him and gulped down, he felt nostalgic as Wuxian told him the same. Wuxian who was his best friend but no more left in this world. Ji li glanced down and looked back at the other. He smiled sadly and slowly nodded, "..Y-yes..Zhan"

This time he won't argue as how he did with his best friend when being talked the same thing. "Zhan, the files..I looked at it, you just need to sign on it", he uttered softly. The other nodded as Ji li placed the files on the table. "And..". Ji li stopped walking towards the door when Zhan uttered from behind, he immediately turned around, "Yes?".

"Can you tell me..about something?"

Jackson with the tray of food in his hands knocked on the door of Yibo's room, "Bobo? I brought lunch", he uttered. No answer came from inside. Jackson thought maybe the other didn't hear the knock. So he knocked again, louder this time, "I brought lunch bobo". Still no answer came, Jackson immediately got worried and knocked again, "Yibo?".

When still no answer came, Jackson immediately rolled the handle and walked inside only to find nobody in the room. He got concerned and walked downstairs, "Mom, dad, Yibo is not in his room", he said while panting heavily. Mrs. Xiao who was sitting on the couch immediately rose up while Mr. Xiao walked out of the room hearing that.

"Not in his room?", Mr. Xiao asked in whisper. "Mian?", Mrs. Xiao asked. Jackson shook his head immediately, "No one", he uttered. "Did you check the roof or balcony or anywhere in this house? Maybe he might be roaming around", Mrs. Xiao utters while immediately running upstairs. Jackson watched her with concern. "I will check the backyard and garden", Mr. Xiao uttered and immediately walked out of the house.

Jackson himself started looking for everywhere - guest room, drawing room, picture room, Zhan's personal home office or can say Wuxian's. While Mrs. Xiao searched at - Roof top, balcony, bathrooms, toilets, cupboards. Lastly Mr. Xiao checked at garden, near the lake, back yard, he even called Yibo many times. But there was no trace of Yibo and Mian. Soon all three got back at living room while panting. They looked at eachother and shook their heads.

"I will call Zhan", Mrs. Xiao utters, the worry etching on her voice. Mr. Xiao nodded and Jackson immediately shook his head, "Mom, Zhan has already gone through so much. He is even working in the office after all this. Atleast let's not depend on him in this too..let's not stress and worry him more", he uttered softly.

Mrs. Xiao looked at him silently and sadly, "..B-but you know we cannot do anything without him", she utters gently. "No..Zhan is already stressed so much. Let's not worry him more", Mr. Xiao utters softly while placing the reassuring palm on top of his wife's shoulder who looked at him and gulped softly.
