But the dullness was still there. He washed it again. More rougher till his face turn red. But the dullness was still there.
"Heh.. even you washed your face as much as you want, a dull person like you will be dull forever"

Want to make sure if his eyes seeing wrong. Andrew was gone. Oliver starts to panicked. "Where did he go?" Oliver turned his head back to the mirror. He was alone there.
"No way!"
Oliver remembered that he lived with his cousin and Yuanxi. Lil Wen was also there. Oliver shake his head. "No! No! He can't meets with them. Everything will be messed if they meets". Oliver pushed harder the bathroom door. He needs to stop Andrew from meeting his important persons. He can't let the history been repeated. Oliver runs as fast as he can downstairs.

Marco trying to calm Oliver who already lost his control. Oliver looked at Marco with his nearly cry eyes. Marco heart broken into pieces after he saw those eyes. Marco grabbed Oliver shoulder. He know that Oliver already caught in his anxiety. Oliver turned his head trying to find Andrew but failed. Not only he didn't saw Andrew, but he also can't find Lil Wen. "No! Noooo! Impossible!"
"Where is WenWen?"
Oliver voice trembling. He shake his head. "Impossible...it was impossible. WenWen and Andrew can't meet. They can't!" Oliver tried to pushed Marco away. Marco tightened his clench over Oliver shoulder. He must be strong to control Oliver anxiety. He needs to.
"WenWen on the way back."
Xin Er caressed Oliver hair. He smiled softly.

Xin Er continues coaxing Oliver.
"We're all here to protect both you and WenWen. You see..."

"Safe. Safe"
"Yesterday you said you wanted to eat sweets lotus roots with sticky rice right? So today I went to buy the ingredients. Can't believe you already miss me till cry like this."
Lil Wen put his forehead on Oliver's head. Can't believe with how the person who always gives him a cold shoulder could be such a crybaby.
"Let's we make its together."
Lil Wen said softly. Oliver slowly unwrapped his hug and nodded happily. He even forgot about Andrew who drives him crazy just now. Lil Wen wiped away Oliver tears before he pinched Oliver points nose. Oliver smiled sweetly. Together they walked side by side into the kitchen. And the others turned into dry leaves that flew away by the evening breeze. Totally being ignored by both of love birds.
Alex who love to eat, also wants to join them making sweets lotus roots with sticky rice but being dragged by Justin to help him and Yuanxi in the greenhouse. "Don't bother with other people love affair, we still have a lots to do in the greenhouse".

Oliver live in North while he live in South. When he was came back, Oliver already move away to Finland.
Marco hung up with his sullen face. He bites his lips.
"What was uncle Lucas said?"
Looking at how Marco act in front of him right now, Xin Er can predict that it's was not a good thing.
"Uncle said he just knows that Oliver's boyfriend being killed in front of him. That all. "
Hearing that make Xin Er lost his words. Thing like that surely gives everyone a traumatized. Xin Er hug Marco tenderly. He don't know what to say at that moment.
"Uncle sent me a video from when Oliver in the psychiatric hospital."
Marco looks at Xin Er faces. Xin Er caressed Marco back and bitterly smiled.

Marco eyes stared to teary.
"We can watch it together after you're ready. You know that I will never lets you go through all this by yourself. I will always by your side"
Xin Er hugged Marco who already burst out with tears. "Why all of this must happened to our family?"
