Yibo busied himself in the kitchen when he felt that he couldn't stop thinking of Xiao Zhan's mother death. He definitely didn't want the woman to die even though she had hurt him so much mentally and verbally. But never cross his mind that he wanted to revenge on her. Above of all, she was his lover's mother.

He jolted a little when his phone that he placed on the island was ringing. Yibo washed his hands and wiped them on his apron. He picked the phone up and answered the call.

"Wei? Zhan ge? I'm making the breakfast. Don't need to buy back. Alright! Almost done!" Yibo answered the call. Then he hung it up when the other male cut the call.

He didn't even have a chance to ask him about his mother. But he'll be home soon, anyway. Yibo brushed his thought off and continued focusing on his cooking.

The house door was clacking open when he was set the table up. He turned to the door and saw Xiao Zhan came.up with a gloomy face. He ran toward the older male and clung on his hand.

"What happened?" Asked Yibo with a worry look.

Xiao Zhan looked at Yibo and sighed. He hugged Yibo and began to sniffle. Yibo raised his hands and stroked Xiao Zhan's back.

"It's fine if you cry sometime... Just let it out..." Said Yibo, gently.

Xiao Zhan's sniffle turned into a sob. Yibo hugged him tight, and Xiao Zhan's sob rose into a cry. Xiao Zhan poured all his sadness and grief on the boy's shoulder.

"I don't like how she treated me and my sister. I hate her when she hurt my father and you, even planned to kill the both of you. But she's my mother... A gentle and loving mother once before the ambition and greediness eats her up...!" Xiao Zhan weeped out.

"I understand... I know that....  I also never wish for her short life. I always wish she'll get better and wakes up soon. But the reality tells us otherwise..." Yibo calmed his lover down and consoled him.

Xiao Zhan broke the hug. He wiped his tears away with the coat's sleeve. Yibo looked at him dearly.

"Thank you for forgiving her and not hate her..." Said Xiao Zhan.

"Hatred cannot be against with another hate. I don't hate her...  Instead, she thought me how to appreciate the person who loves me more than himself.. she made me open my eyes to see how much you love me and ready to face anything that would be in our way... "

"Face it with faith and a smile..." Xiao Zhan and Yibo said in unison. Then they smiled at each other.

"I'm hungry already. What did you cook?" Asked Xiao Zhan, turned to the dinning table.

The athmosphere changed into a cheerful morning in their daily. Yibo bounced up to the table and show off of his creation.

"I have sunny side egg, bacon and Tatsumoto pork sausage. And bake beans!" Yibo said with a cheerful tone.

Xiao Zhan smiled. He approached Yibo and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you for taking care of me...." Xiao Zhan said.

"Don't say that. It's my responsible to take care of you since you don't know how to take care of yourself..!" Yibo hit Xiao Zhan's chest playfully.

"I love you so much...." Xiao Zhan hugged the boy.

"I love you, too..." Yibo replied.

"What happened to your mother?" Asked Yibo when they started eating.

"I don't want to talk about it on the table..." Xiao Zhan mumbled a reply.

Yibo glanced at him and nodded. After that they ate in silence.
