3 Weeks Later

"Sweetheart," Guan Shan's mother says as he knocks on his door, "You want to make dinner tonight?"

Guan Shan curls up into a ball in his bed, his mind thinking about the number of assignments he has to finish, "I have stuff to do mom."

"You haven't made beef stew in so long," his mother says sweetly, "I kind of miss it."

Guan Shan swallows the lump that begins to form in his throat, " I just don't feel like making them anymore."

His mother sighs, and knocks on his door, "Open up please."

Guan Shan uncurls himself and sits up straight on his bed, "It's open."

His mother opens the door and stares at him with her hands on her hips, "What's going on?"

Guan Shan scrunches his forehead in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"You haven't been yourself the past few weeks."

Guan Shan huffs, "I told you, mom, I'm fine."

"We should ta-"

"No."

"Okay, that's fine. I'm going to make dinner, it should be ready in an hour."

Guan Shan nods and flops back on his bed.

"And Guan Shan, you need to wash that black jacket of yours, you have been wearing it for the past three weeks."

Guan Shan hugs the jacket closer to himself and falls asleep.

Guan Shan wakes up to a familiar voice being heard from his kitchen. He groggily rubs his eyes as his mind tries to find the face to the voice.

Oh

Jian Yi.

Guan Shan practically leaps out of his bed and runs downstairs, because Jian Yi would come to his house for one reason and one reason only.

Jian Yi was seated in his kitchen, having a friendly conversation with Guan Shan's mom, hearing the noise Guan Shan made while running downstairs he looks up to greet the other.

Guan Shan doesn't even let the other say a word, "You have heard from him haven't you?"

"Do you want to go outside for a bit?" Jian Yi replies much to Guan Shan's frustration.

His mom looks between the two of them in confusion, Jian Yi looks back at her with an apologetic smile.

Guan Shan flies out the door before his mother could even utter a word to him and Jian Yi sighs as he bows to his mother.

"I'm sorry for the intrusion."

She shakes her head and softly smiles, "Don't worry, just make sure he comes back in for dinner."

Jian Yi takes a step outside and Guan Shan starts bombarding him with questions.

"What happened? Is he okay? What did he say? Is he coming back? Can he come back? Will he come back? Is-"

Jian Yi quickly covers the other's mouth with his hand, "Please stop."

Guan Shan, by reflex, spits in his hands and Jian Yi backs away with a yelp.

"Rude."

"Tell me."

"First of all your mom is an amazing person."
