Yang Shi had a severe sense of loss moving in her since past few days. She tried reassuring herself that it was just about the kids travelling and that they would be back before she knows it but the dread has been only eating her. She couldn't stop it anymore and tried calling Jun Zixuan.
He hasn't been talking to her since last two days. She started scolding Assistant Gu the minute he picked the call.
"How many times have i told you already that I want to speak to my son?! You pick the elder ones call and the younger one doesn't even pick the call. I understand that they are having fun but this is very irresponsible. Even my princess isn't picking the call. 'WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE ASSISTANT GU? DO YOU WANT ME TO COME TO LONDON AS WELL'" she said to the phone as Gu Chen immediately pulled the phone away from his ear.
They are honestly not paying enough to keep up with this abuse. He could only close his eyes and repeat same automated message he has prepared for this conversation.
"Elder miss, young master is busy in a very important business deal and young miss is with her friends sightseeing, I will inform them to contact you"
"Didn't you tell me the same thing yesterday? "Yang Shi said with gritted teeth.
"No ma'am. They were in a different place yesterday. I shall pass your message "he said with all his patience.
He could even start crying for her right now because he really want to. The situation Xiulin didn't look very hopeful to him. She has run away from home and no-one knows if she is still in the country. It has only been a week and everyone's sick already. Jun Bohai has stopped talking to everyone and rarely leaves his room, the only person he talks to is either his brother or Shen Lihua who seems to be with just the same heart ache as the others.
Jun Zixuan has been moving with the sole purpose of finding her. He only ate and drank enough to survive the day. He also made sure that everyone else at home was fed as well.
Mu Shen made it his job to be there and give company to all of them. But he was also there to see everything was in right place so that Xiulin wasn't found and that she could go back to where she belongs.
Jun Zixuan straightened his back and opened his eyes again to replay the only last footage he had of her. Her hair blonde with glasses covering her eyes but yet it couldn't cover her. To him she just seemed like plain old Xiulin.
Bohai couldn't accept the fact that, Xiulin left willingly to Russia. He didn't understand what forced her to take that huge step but it reminded him one of their conversations.
Few months back
"What are you watching?" he asked as he saw her completely immersed in her laptop laughing heartily.
"Masha and bear" she said with another giggle.
"Oh i never watched it before. I'll join you "he said barging into the room sitting beside her.
Xiulin didn't say anything but kept giggling as she continued to watch. Bohai looked at what's happening with a frown creeping up his face.
Though he wanted to laugh along with her, he couldn't. Because he didn't understand the language. So he could only stare at Xiulin who giggled like a little girl every 10 minutes. She genuinely looked very happy listening whatever dialogs they were saying.
"Which language is this again?"
"Russian"
"You know russian too "he asked in awe as he looked at her.
As a young master of family, they were usually prepared with multiple different hobbies so that they looked outstanding and well rounded. But the Jun Family has left their children to their own devices and choices. While Jun Zixuan has single handedly became good at his own job. Bohai was more better as an artist.
He tried understanding the series by the movement of the characters and eventually he understood what Xiulin was laughing all about. It was indeed such a cute pair.
As the knock on the door got him back to the moment. He maybe missed a lot signs which were very unusual in Xiulin.
"Who were you, Xiulin?"
