Chp 5

In a row of many housing estates, there was a large, magnificent mansion, all of it belonged to Yi Xuan. At first, he just bought the property to relax himself, however, no one knew how he managed to help those people in need to find a place to belong for with that.

In the mansion, only he and his younger sister, Yi Xue lived. Yi Xuan, who had just entered, heard a soft humming in the direction of his younger sister's room. She was preparing to go somewhere; smearing a make up.

It's been a long time since he haven't met her, thus, he had a glimpse of her opened room as he walked along to his room, which was filled with flower garlands; the only colorful things that decorated his room.

He had time to put a new bouquet of flowers, replacing the wilted flowers in his room's vase before he cleaned himself in the bathroom.

It was then he heard Yi Xue's slow but audible voice, "Brother, do you have money?"

Not thinking too much, Yi Xuan directed his voice to his shirt's pocket which was hanging on the tip of a chair, and then followed by Yi Xue's action. The word "careful" managed to escape his mouth before she walked out.

"My brother was once a very bright person. Though his demeanor was calm, but he had always smiled at others, and was a bit playful, maybe. However, since that 'lost', he completely changed into a whole new person. No entertainment, with his wardrobe all sharp dark, plus, his goal was only work-travel, work-travel, that's all he's been doing these past few years. He still kind though. But.... this can't go on. I want my older brother back! I have to do something about this.

Following her thoughts, Yi Xue isn't entirely cold, that's just how she was. The only thing she ever cared about was her brother's well being. So, when she witnessed how her brother slowly losing himself, she couldn't ignore it, and planned to do something about it. For that reason, she went out, for a matter.

Meanwhile, Yi Xuan who've finished showering, rubbing his hair with a towel before he laid on his king-size bed, holding a book. His body, which once turned away, slowly shifted towards the ceiling, and soon, the soft sound of pages being opened filled the silent room.

Out of the blue, his phone vibrated frantically. But, when he took the time to answer the phone, a voice came through, phrasing, "Sir, we've found another masterpiece! The problem is.... We need an approval first before launching"

"Oh, what he or she called?"

"Ah. Her pen name was Yiyi"

"Um? What did you say? Yiyi?", Yi Xuan swiftly sat up from a lying position. He couldn't believe what he heard. The name flickered through his mind, bringing something to remembrance.

Without taking much time, he trembled, "Give me his or her personal data"

"Ah that....That person seemed to conceal everything about his or her from the media due to privacy concern, as before this, on her post, she or her had encountered several misfortunes, which led to somewhat dangerous situation"

Yi Xuan was disheartened on receiving that news, yet, his worries strangely can't be hidden eventually. The phone closed and he continued with his reading although he was not focused at all.

Suddenly, after a few slides, he couldn't hold any longer. A sudden struck of tightness continuously suffocate him. It was as if his heart had betrayed him. Before long, veins began to visible from his neck, indicating that he had begun to broke down in tears. He consciously put the book down, covered his face with his hands, and stayed still, until he fell asleep.
