Yibo came home to their apartment to get clothes after one month of staying at the hotel.

The place is empty, he sighed.

No sign of Xiao Zhan around. He looked at the bedroom and the bed is well fixed, with no crease or any sign that a person is staying on that bed.

He went to the bathroom, the floor, sink, and tub are all dried up.

He then went to the kitchen. The plates and all kitchen utensils are not wet and seem like it's not been used for a long time.

He came across the dining table. There's a note left for him.

He picked the note and stared at it for a second.

"I'm going home for a bit." He read out loud.

"So Zhan ge went home and didn't even go to see me and fix this? Ha, then let him be" He scoffed as he clenched on the note.

He went back to their bedroom.

He opened their cabinet, he stared at it and scoffed. Some of Xiao Zhan's clothes are not there.

He packed some of his clothes and bang the cabinet door closed.

Just then his manager called him. He immediately answered.

"Yibo where are you? You have practice today remember?" He said in the other line.

'Right, I just need to focus on my upcoming race. I should not distract myself' He said in his mind.

"Yes, manager. I'll be right there." He said and dropped the call.

He immediately finished his packing and went out of their apartment.

.

The practice didn't go well. He got distracted and end up slowing down.

He hissed in annoyance and grabbed his phone. Expecting that Xiao Zhan left a message of missed call him. But there's nothing.

His manager approached him, "What's bothering you? You slowed down when you're about to beat your record." He said and grabbed Yibo's phone and put it on the table.

"It's nothing." He answered coldly as he rests his back on the chair.

"Cool your head off. The team leader orders you to practice more." His manager said and went out of his sight.

He sighed heavily. "Practice more eh?" He laughed with a hint of pain in it.

"Then let's practice more." He said and stood up.

He grabbed his helmet and went to the track again.

.

Two months have passed so fast.

In those two months, Xiao Zhan made himself busy in preparing for his documents and visa.

He decided to accept the offer Mr. Lan is giving him since he's jobless and he has nothing to do. And he thinks that it will help him recover.

It's already three months when he came to his home after their fight. It is still vivid in his memories. Yibo never tried contacting him even once and nor did he.

Xiao Zhan is packing his things, tomorrow is his flight. Tomorrow is also Yibo's race but it seems that he forgot about it.

In those two months of preparing the things he needs, the cries and pain reduced. He just cries when he's alone. But his mother will always invite him for tea so she can keep him company, so he won't cry that often anymore.
