Lost and Found Love

[Part Four]

"Yes. I want to go."

Yifan and Lijuan were shocked at Zitao's voice. Although quiet and scratchy, he sounded determined to go. He still needed the appointment to see if it is possible for him to sing/rap with the current state of his voice. For now, he can only submit the music with the written lyrics.

"Mother! We're leaving now!"

"Okay! Have a good day you two!" Lijuan yells back as Yifan and Zitao walk out of the door. Zitao smiles and waves as Yifan closed the door, the gentle, refreshing morning breeze caressing their hair.

"For this university, you'll also need to learn English. They won't have Chinese translators there."

"No?"  Yifan shook his head as Zitao sighed.

"I'll need to learn sign language in English then?"  Yifan nods again, watching Zitao's face fall. An idea came to Yifan as he noticed Zitao's defeated face.

"I have an idea. I can teach you the written form of English and we go from there. If the doctor says you can use your voice, we'll slowly start learning English. How does that sound?" Zitao's once sad look turned bright as he looked at Yifan, "Really? You'd do that for me?" Yifan nodded and chuckled at Zitao's sudden happiness as he hugs him tightly.

"Thank you..."

"Tao!" Zitao looks up to see his friends, Zhongda and Yixing running towards him. Yifan stood by as Zhonda hugged Zitao and noticed Yixing had a faraway look about him. It looked like he was high on some sort of drug. For all they knew, Yixing could actually be high and not faking it.

"Yixing! Sometimes I wonder if I am really related to that... Thing..." Another voice spoke out in disgust as he walked towards the four, well, three if not counting Yixing, who is currently gazing at some birds in a tree.

"Yeah? Whys that Minxi?" Yifan chuckles, keeping an eye on Yixing.

"He's too much weird for the family. Both Mother and Father are worried about him. I'm sure all the teachers here are too."

"You still have to love his character though."

"Yeah... I guess but still..." The young male, Minxi, groans as Yifan laughs at him. The same birds that Yixing was gazing at comes flying towards him and with a scream, he runs towards the school water fountain to try to get away from them while Zhongda was cackling at Yixing.

"You were saying?"

"I agree. I worry for your own sanity to deal with him as well as those who associate themselves with him." Yifan grins, ruffling Minxi's hair.

"Oi! Don't touch the hair!"

"Sorry Minxi!"

Shorter part but I promise the next part will be longer. Who do you think Minxi is?
