Zhan couldn’t take it anymore. He is a human being too ?How much could he endure?
He wanted to leave that night, but if he left, his family would ask too many questions. So, he waited until the morning. As soon as the sun came up, he packed his things and went to his father’s house. But Yibo? Yibo didn’t even know he had left.

Zhan’s mother, Mrs. Xiao, started to feel something was wrong. She noticed that Yibo didn’t come to their house anymore. Before, he used to visit often. He used to call, ask about Zhan, talk to her. But now? Nothing.
Feeling worried, Mrs. Xiao called Yibo.
At first, they talked normally. Then she asked, “Why don’t you come to visit us?”
Yibo sighed. “I am very busy with work, Auntie. I have a big project. If I do well, I will get a promotion.”
Mrs. Xiao smiled a little. “That’s good. But I really want you to come home. Zhan is here too.”
Yibo didn’t answer right away. Then he said, “ Zhan is there ?! Okay, I will try.”
Mrs . Xiao asked , “ Yes , he come here in the morning . Did he informed you ?
“ yeah yeah , he did .I forgot , so pressure in work " Yibir smilingly said , tried to not create Suspicion in Mrs. Xiao's mind .

That night, after dinner, Zhan sat alone on the balcony. He looked at the moon and thought about many things.
Mrs. Xiao came and sat beside him.
“Did something happen between you and Yibo?” she asked softly.
Zhan kept looking at the moon. His voice was quiet. “No. Nothing happened.”
Mrs. Xiao hesitated, then asked, “Is it because of the baby?”
Zhan froze. He turned to look at his mother, his eyes wide in shock. “What?”
Mrs. Xiao sighed and put a hand on Zhan’s shoulder. “You both are still young. You should have waited. You just started college, and now you dropped out. Alphas have needs, Zhan. You should have understood that. How do I even explain this to you ? "
Zhan suddenly stood up. He didn’t want to hear more. He went straight to his room and hid under his blanket.
Mrs. Xiao stayed on the balcony for a moment, then left.
Under the blanket, Zhan clenched his fists. His chest felt heavy.
“No one understands me,” he whispered. “No one even tries. Fine, forget it. But can’t someone ask me what I want? What do I feel?”

The morning sun came through the windows, making the living room warm and bright. The house was filled with soft talking and laughter.
Mrs. Xiao smiled as she placed a tray of tea and snacks on the table. “Baby yuan ...Cheng, Haikuan, it’s been so long since you visited. You should come more often.”
Cheng laughed, adjusting little Yuan on his lap. “We’ve been busy, Ma. Work takes up most of our time.”
Haikuan nodded. “Yes, the business keeps us busy. But we wanted to visit today.”
---
Zhan sat on the far end of the couch, listening.
Everyone looked happy. Cheng was carefully feeding Yuan, Haikuan was talking about work, and Fenxing was busy with his phone. Mrs. Xiao listened to Haikuan, nodding now and then, offering food to her sons.
