Chapter 01

"Mum, When will we reach home…I am hungry~~" A little girl said as she played a little with her seat belt.

.

"Very soon princess, just hold on a little." A woman in her thirties said as she glanced at her daughter and smiled.

.

Everything was going fine until…

"MUM LOOK AHEAD!" The girl screamed and everything went black….

"Mummy…Mummy…wake up wake up…please…"

.

"Hey, wake up! Your stop is here!" The bus conductor yelled at the boy who dozed off.

That boy slowly opened his brown monolid eyes, the moonlight fell over his face and brightened his already charming face, and a smile formed in the corner of his plum cherry-like lips as he saw the name of his hometown written on the board outside.

"Thank you for waking me up." He said with a smile and without any further delay got off the bus.

.

"Finally….*takes a deep breath* Pa, I am back home!" He said while hanging his bag over his shoulder.

"Xiao He‐Ling! Welcome back! And please don't jump on m–" A man in his 30s said as he took his steps back a little,

"Too late... Bin Ge!!" Ling who was already in his arms said while giggling.

"Aya...My back...LingLing you are no longer 10 and I am no longer 20…please be a little softer towards my back." 

"Hehe~ Well habits take time don't they~" 

"You and your words…"

.

"....Ugh…?!" A sound came from the bushes alerting both of them.

"Ge, did you hear that? Or was that my imagination?"

"I heard it too…Maybe a cat or something?" 

They were about to walk away when that voice came again.

.

"Something is wrong…" Ling said and walked towards the bushes with his phone flashed on.

"Ling, it can be a wild animal too."

"Maybe but—GE! COME HERE QUICKLY!" Ling shouted as he looked at the still body in front of him.

"Omg! What is this?"

Ling quickly kneeled and checked his pulse with his trembling hand and luckily it was working.

.

"Ge, quickly take him to the hospital, he is still alive."

Ling said as he tried to pick that boy up but he was quite heavy and his thin arms weren't able to cope up with it.

"But Ling, we don't even know him plus he needs to be treated quickly…." He said while examining the spot on his head that was bleeding.

"Then what are we waiting for! let's take him to the hospital. " His voice was losing patience.

"The hospital is too far and....if we take him there then..." Bin looked a bit lost at his own words.

.

"....Then what do we do? Leaving him here to die is not even an option.."

"I know, let's take him to your house, I will treat him there."

"Okay!" 

"Hurry up, let's carry him towards my car." With that, both of them charged towards the deeper end of the town covered mostly with trees.

"Please hold on a little, we will reach home soon," Ling said as he held the hand of the unconscious boy lying in his lap, who was whimpering in pain.

.

After a ride of around 15 minutes which felt like 2 hours, they finally reached their destination which was a concrete two-story house that looked simple but lively from the outside.

"Let's take him to my study room, it's empty." 

"Okay, wait let me take my things, luckily I always carry them with me for emergencies." 

And with that, the two of them entered the house and headed straight towards the empty room which was as big as a double bed.

.

"Ling, you stay here and calm down. Okay, I will take care of him." With that, he entered the room and closed the door.

"Please be fine, please be fine.." Ling chanted again and again for 2 hours or so when finally the door opened.

"How is he?" 

"He is fine now, but he lost too much blood and the wound in his head is a little too deep, plus there are some wounds that seem like he was beaten up pretty badly." 

"Ge…do you mean someone deliberately hit him??"

He said nothing but just nodded his head.

.

Ling didn't utter a word and just stood there silently,

"It's okay, little lingling~ I am a doctor and your Ge, not real but still I am. Trust me everything will be fine." He said as he ruffled his bangs.

"But Ge if what you said is true then won't his life still be in danger?" 

"...We can't say anything now, let's wait for him to wake up." 

.

*Ring* *Ring*

"Hello, yes..surgery now…okay.." 

"Ling, I have an urgent surgery now and it might take time…I will be back in the morning till then please look after him."

"Don't worry I will look after him. You go and do your work, and thank you for saving him." 

"It's my job, gotta go." And with that, he ran outside the house while Ling closed the main door and went inside the room where that boy was.

.

He walked near the table and looked at the boy's face, "Wounded yet handsome" he thought as he touched the boy's lips that were chapped. 

He quickly went toward the kitchen and bought a small bowl of water along with a piece of cloth.

.

"Sorry for intruding," He said as he slowly taped his lips with the cloth. He did that every 5 minutes and in the meantime cleaned the room, right now he was looking at the boy's clothes hoping to find something that could help him to identify him, but there was none.

Except for one thing, 

"Gucci, Nike's latest version shoes, Supreme vest, and Tiffany earrings …he is dressed in branded clothes from top to the bottom…he is either a rich pampered young master or a spendthrift scammer." He said as he kept the clothes aside, when suddenly a locket fell from his jacket pocket.

"WY is these his initials?" He thought as he looked at the locket it looked simple but well-made.

.

"Mmm," The boy moved his head and sweat dropped off his head.

Ling kept the locket in his pocket and walked towards him.

The boy kept mumbling with his closed eyes, his breath going up and down.

"Is he having a nightmare?" Ling took a deep breath and placed his hands over the boy's hand and gently pressed it.

.

"It is okay, don't be afraid I am here, no one will hurt you." He said as he looked at the boy, his eyes holding sympathy for him. One glance and people could say this boy has gone through a lot.

The boy calmed down and was now sleeping comfortably but Ling's sleep was long gone.

The whole night he stayed with the boy, the moment he got a nightmare Ling would hold his hand and hum a little. Time passed and morning came.

.

"It's already 5 am, Ge will be here in 2 hours, I should go and make something to eat…he might wake up too," Ling said as he stretched his arms and legs.

"Hmm, now what should I make? It's been a while since I last cooked I wonder how my skills are." 

Ling got himself busy with the food, whereas the boy in the study room was slowly gaining consciousness.

.

"Ugh…hurts…" The boy with black double eyelids eyes said, his blue hair covering his forehead and tips of his ears.

He looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, the brown ceiling, the wooden floor, and the stone hard bed below him, everything was unfamiliar and weird for him.

He removed the blankets and walked towards the mirror where he saw his reflection, a tall boy with a face to die for, his blue hair whiwasere of course dyed and his black sharp eyes, his full lips had a slight cut and a bunny bandage in his nose Bridge, wearing a bunny printed Pj and several bandages over his head and legs, and hands.

.

"Where Am I?" He said in a hoarse voice and touched his neck gulping feeling thirsty.

*Clang* 

"What was that sound?" He thought as he walked towards the door, and followed the source of the voice, and saw a boy in the kitchen facing the sink and humming.

.

"Who is this person?" He thought and took carefull steps towards that unknown boy but looking at the sharp knife in his hands, he gasped and halted his steps. This action of his got the attention of Ling and now both were looking right at each other eyes.

Both of them were equally shocked and silence took over them,

"Y..You are up." Ling said as he smiled and walked towards him forgetting the fact that the knife was still in his hands.

.

"Stay away!" That boy said as he jumped away from him.

"Huh? Oh! This knife is just for cutting vegetables … rest assured I have no intention to hurt you okay. See I keep this here…okay." Ling said as he smiled and walked towards the boy who didn't seem to budge even a little.

"...I don't know what people do in such a situation…but anyway let's start with the introduction. Hello, I am Xiao He‐Ling, turning 18 this year, and you?" Ling said as he forwarded his hand boy looked at Ling's eyes for some time before forwarding his hand but stopped midway, horror took over his pale face.

.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling pain anywhere?" Ling asked getting panicked himself.

"...I…can't remember my name….I can't remember anything!" 

"WHAT!?"
