I'm alive.

She happily opened the chat when she realized that she has got a text. Her face slowly brightened up when she read the detailed report. Her brother was spotted recently and that was the best news she has heard in a long time.

She is happy that he was okay. She sighed closing the laptop and lying on the bed.

" I'm alive, brother," she said as a lone tear came out of her eye. " Please don't give up on yourself," she said as she fell asleep.

Adrian couldn't sleep as usual. He got up from his bed and went to the balcony to light up a cigarette. He looked at the moon, which was peeking at him, and then at the cigarette in his hands.

" How many times have I, told you to quit it!?" came out a voice. His eyes lit up when he heard her voice he turned around to see her. She looked as beautiful as she always did, she came inside in her white nightdress which was so long on her that it swept the floor as she came near him.

She frowned at the smell of the cigarette making a funny face, which always made him pull her cheeks. She pouted when he pulled her cheeks as he threw away the cigarette.

He looked at her adoringly as she turned away her face from him. " You told me you quit cigarettes long ago. Didn't you? " she asked him, squinting her eyes.

" Oh when?" he asked her with the same squint.

"I'm not talking to you until you quit that disgusting thing" she said averting her face away from his face.

"How could you be the replica of the mother" he said chuckling at her only to earn a glare from her.

"Don't you dare get mother in this" she said glaring at him.

"Oh my god, did I just hear you talk?" he asked her feigning fake surprise. She rolled her eyes at him.

He slowly started moving near her as she went back "Hey, don't you come near me," she said as she moved back when he caught her and started tickling her. Her endless laughter always lit his world.

That's when he suddenly woke up as he realized that he passed out in the hospital waiting room. He went to the top of the building take out a puff, but her words slowly rang in his head. Her smiles everything started to come back as he broke down, falling on his knees. "I'm sorry Lennie. I should have protected you. " He said as he closed his eyes, leaning back on the wall.

Xiulin slowly got up ready to go to school. She went downstairs to see that Bohai was happily smiling at her. She also smiled brightly at him and came to have breakfast with him. They both had breakfast.

"Xiu darling, why can't you take some more rest?"Yang Shi asked her again. "Yes, Xiu Xiu you need rest," Bohai said. Xiulin looked at both of them and smiled at their worry. It made her happy. She doesn't know what she would do if she was all alone here too. They both stared at her in a daze as she smiled, making her dimples visible.

She reassured both of them and went to school with Bohai. Their senior year is coming to an end. She finds it unbelievable that a year is coming to an end. Shen Lihua came to her in worry when she arrived at school.

When Shen Lihua got to know from Bohai that Xiulin had gotten sick, she was worried sick as they had become friends in such a small period of time. "Xiulin how are you feeling now? " She asked her, looking at her in worry.

"I'm fine, Lili, " she said as she set down her bag and sat down beside Bohai. Shen Lihua also took a seat beside them when the teacher entered. After completing all the classes they went to lunch.

She took out her lunch and started eating as Yang Shi has created a separate diet for her so that she gets better. She started eating congee while Bohai got her some other starters to make her feel better. Everyone at school got used to seeing their affection. At the start, they thought it was love, but slowly they realized that it's a more brotherly kind of one.

Jun Zixuan sat down and realized that he was being really dumb searching for her. She obviously didn't want to be found that is the reason why she was called the ghost as you could never find her if you want to she would only come in front of you if she wants to. He sighed and looked around seeing the room full of her memories.

" I'll find her," he told himself again and got back to work.

Wu Qing knocked and came into his office at office time as he promised her a drink. They both went to Nightline Bar as it was their usual spot. He ordered some vodka for them both and sat down.

"How's your fiance doing?"He asked her with a raised eyebrow. The last time he heard about that guy he was in Japan doing some fieldwork.

Her bored face lit up the moment he was mentioned," He is okay. I miss my baby. Now that I know I'll go there to surprise him right after. " She told him with a bright smile.

"Don't blind me with that smile of yours " he grumbled and took a shot. She rolled her eyes at him and observed him noticing that he was sadder than usual.

"Zi, What's wrong? You seem down," she asked him worriedly as he took another shot.

" Nothing," he said as he leaned back on the sofa.

There was a knock and someone entered the room as Wu Qing went to hug him," Took you long enough to remember me QingQing" Mu Yuhan said as he hugged her.

Mo Yuhan, Wu Qing, and Jun Zixuan were known as the golden trio in their school and now too. Mo Yuhan was a famous actor and he owned an entertainment company too.

"Why is our crybaby sadder than usual"? He asked Wu Qing with his eyes who just shrugged at him.

" ZiZi don't be sad I'm back, "he said with a smirk as if he was flirting with his girlfriend when Jun Zixuan looked at him blankly and averted his gaze while Wu Qing started laughing making Mo Yuhan pout.
