The Mechanics & the Troublemakers - [Complete]

Sorrow

"I'm sorry but ... Bai Yu's dead."

The sentence echoes inside YiLong's and FuSheng's mind for a while before it's finally registered into their brains and hearts literally numbing everything part of their body. The room goes silent as each of them were in their own thoughts until the sound of short breaths could be heard.

The incident with Bai Yu has reminded FuSheng who has experienced similar situation before of the outcome from that time. His real father died from that incident. Now his second father died in the same way. This has caused great anxiety in FuSheng's mind to the point that he starts hyperventilating.

He feels dizzy.

He feels as if he couldn't breathe.

His heart beats so fast that it's breaking out of the ribcage.

"FuSheng! Calm down. Breathe." Hei Qi, who's right next to FuSheng, notices the abnormalities and quickly reacted in helping the young lad who's fallen to the ground clutching his heart.

The shout from Hei Qi has bring YiLong back to reality, in which his body reacts automatically to help FuSheng, pulling him into his arms. "Ah-Sheng, ah-Sheng, I'm here. I'm still here. Breathe, breathe slowly."

YiLong holds on tightly to the young man who's trembling and panting hard. For this family, it is understandable for such a severe reaction upon learning of the unfortunate incident. FuSheng has once experienced this with himself. The consequence of that incident nearly cost him and his father's lives. However, this time Bai Yu was the one to encounter with the worst possible outcome.

FuSheng has lost his second father to a similar accident. It's like a déjà vu that has become his worst nightmare. What's more, FuSheng and Bai Yu has always been pretty close with one another to the point of being playmates since the beginning.

The closer the relationship, the more painful it is.

FuSheng's condition continue to worsen until he lost consciousness.

"Ah-Sheng! Help me put him on the bed!" YiLong urgently instruct Hei Qi, who's already on stand-by which is normal when delivering such bad news. "Loosen his cloth a little."

Then YiLong jumps to the cabinet and reaches for the hyperventilation mask to put on FuSheng. Within less than 10 seconds of hearing the news, the lively young man has broken down physically and mentally.

Once he makes sure that FuSheng is safe, YiLong knees go weak causing him to collapse onto the floor. Hei Qi didn't expect the sudden collapsing; thus, he couldn't help supports in time.

"Long-ge!" Hei Qi subconsciously calls out.

The familiar term used by Bai Yu alarms the exhausted YiLong. His head automatically snaps to the person only to find that it was Hei Qi, not Bai Yu. After identifying the speaker, YiLong's face fell.

"Chief Hei ... thank you for coming to inform us yourself. We have troubled you." YiLong manages to show his appreciation after a while of silence.

"No, no trouble at all." Hei Qi responds.

After another few sentences of thanking, YiLong sees Hei Qi out of his office. Then he sits still, not knowing what to do next. He becomes rather empty.

'It's a dream ... it must be a dream ... this couldn't be happening ... no way ... I just need to wake up ... once I wake up, I'll see Bai Yu sleeping next to me ... I'll let him have his way without complaining at all ... come on, YiLong ... wake up ... just wake up and all these bullshits would be over.' YiLong inwardly tells himself.
