Author's Pov.

"Nana, I heard your grandson is coming to spend the holiday with you. Mrs. Xiao asked, "

Yes, he is. I can't wait to see him. He is a carbon copy of my son before he died. Nana said sadly,

God bless his soul, Mrs. Xiao whispered. It's a good thing he is coming. He'll make friends with the boys. How old is he? Mrs. Xiao asked.

"He is 10 years old," Nana replied.

Oh, the boys are older than him by 4 and 5 years. I guess he will be like their little brother. Mrs. Xiao said.

And the boys came running. Nana, is it true your grandson is coming for the holiday?

Yes, boys, he is coming. Nana replied with a smile spreading across her face.

When is he coming? They asked in unison.

Tomorrow evening, Nana replied.

Hmmm, that's enough, boys. Let's go. There's nothing special about a new kid coming. With a smirk, Xiao Zhan said.

And the boys left... they'd been friends since they were 4 years old!

WANG MANOR.

Mum, that's enough. You packed too many clothes already. Yibo whined.

"No dear, I didn't. You'll make new friends and hang out with them sometimes." Mrs. Wang replied.

Even at that, it's still too much. Yibo replied.

"You might decide to give a few of them out, young man. Now stop whining and go pack your backpack," Mrs. Wang said.

Mom, have you packed yet? Will Kuan ge accompany us? Yibo asked.

No baby, he has exams to write, but once he is done, he'll join us over there, okay? Mrs. Wang said.

Yibo, what are you still doing? Our flight is in 2 hours. "

I can't find my lucky charm necklace, mum. Where did you keep it? Yibo screamed from upstairs so his mum would hear.

"I dropped it in your backpack," Mrs. Wang yelled back.

"And he rushed down since it was in his backpack."

"Immediately they got to the Shanghai airport, they announced boarding to Beijing."

Waiting no further, they walked to immigration and boarded shortly after.

We would have missed our flight because of your necklace, Yibo, Mrs. Wang said.

Yibo just rolled his eyes and mouthed "sorry."

Two and a half hours later, they arrived at the Beijing airport. The air felt fresh; the wind was blowing back and forth. They picked up their luggage and headed to the car park.

"Nana and her driver were already waiting to pick them up."

Yibo hugs his Nana and enters the car without saying nothing.

"Man of a few words, just like his father," Nana said.

Mrs. Wang just smiles. How have you been, Nana? You look younger every time I see you.

Nana just smiles and says, "Don't whine now."

As the driver approaches Nana's house on the street, he slows down. Yibo sees Zhan and keeps staring at him. Who is he, Nana Yibo asked.

Oh, that's Xiao Zhan, my neighbor's son. Nana smiled as she said, "Don't worry, you will meet the boys."

I don't want to meet the boys. I want to meet him. He is handsome, with black silky hair. Yibo whispered.

Don't be naughty, Yibo, "Mrs. Wang said."

Yibo turns and looks back until they enter Nana's compound.

When can I meet him? Yibo asked.

They will come for dinner. I invited all of them. Nana smiles.

Okay, Nana. Yibo smiles as he hops inside.

It is 7 pm already. Mr. and Mrs. Xiao came. Yubin and his parents, Ji Li and Li Bowen, also came with their mom, but Meng Ziyi didn't come.

"They all look elegant, as if they were heading to an event."

Yibo is sitting in the dining room when everyone walks in. He politely greets them and introduces himself to the boys, and the boys tell him their names.

He is looking for someone; he frowns when he doesn't see Zhan.

Nana saw the look on his face and asked Mrs. Xiao, where is Xiao Zhan?

"He went to the store and will be back soon." Mrs. Xiao replied.

The food looks delicious and smells great. Everyone dishes food, but Yibo just sits there pouting.

Why aren't you eating? Yu Bin asks.

I'll wait for Zhan ge, Yibo said.

Everyone is stunned by his statement. 20 minutes later, Xiao Zhan gallantly walks in looking like a model from a magazine with a big fluffy lion teddy bear and hands it over to Yibo.

"Here for you." I hope you enjoy your holiday, he said, and bowed to greet everyone.

Thank you, Yibo said sheepishly.

Mrs. Wang and Nana were speechless. That was the most beautiful smile they ever saw on Yibo.

Now that Zhan is here, eat your food, Yibo. Zuocheng said.

Hmmm, he replies, still staring at Zhan, holding his fluffy teddy bear in one hand and eating with the other while staring at Zhan continuously.

You have beautiful eyes, Zhan ge, Yibo said.

Zhan scoffs and replies, "Yours are beautiful, too."

He just smiles under his chin.

They all ate quietly... Oh, Nana, thanks for having us here. The food is delicious.

Yibo asked the boys if they wanted to see his room as the elders continued their conversation in the sitting room.

They follow as he leads the way, still holding his fluffy lion teddy bear.

When they entered his room, they all screamed, "Wow, are you sure this is your room?" Yu Bin asked.

Yes, Yibo replied.

The room has a king-size bed, enough for 8 people, and a comfortable sitting area. It is decorated with a mix of styles, both old and new, each with its own personality.

This doesn't look like a 10-year-old room? Zuocheng responds abruptly.

I have always hated the way my friends decorate their rooms; it's very childish, Yibo said.

His words surprised Xiao Zhan. He ruffled Yibo's black hair. Don't act like an adult and miss your childhood, Zhan said. Enjoy all the little things now while adulthood is not going anywhere.

Hmmm, okay, Yibo replied. And he just sits there listening to them talk.

It was already 10 p.m., and they all said good night.

Good night, fluffy lion, Zhan said while ruffling Yibo's hair, and Yibo just pouted, "Don't call me fluffy lion, Zhan ge."

"Aren't you adorable? You're so cute when you pout. Don't worry, no one else will call you a fluffy lion except me. Zhan said, "

Zhan ge, have you seen Nana's garden? Yibo asked.

Zhan replied, "No, I haven't."

You should come see it tomorrow. You'll love it. Yibo smile.

Okay, fluffy lion, I'll come with the boys.

Okay, Zhan ge. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night.

When they all left, Yibo walks to where Nana and his mum were sitting. Mum, you've always wanted to decorate my room, right? You can do whatever you want with it. Zhan ge doesn't like it, but that doesn't mean you can add too many colors, he said, and walked away.

W-what? Mrs. Wang stuttered, "Nana, did I hear him correctly?"

Yes, you heard him Nana said

I guess Xiao Zhan is going to make Yibo more friendly. Mrs. Wang said.

Hmmm. Nana hums.
