Lu Feng held Lu Qiang and patted his cheeks to wake him up. Lu Qiang was drunk, so he could only open his eyes half way.

Lu Feng looked at his half opened eyes and said, "Wake up man; just walk towards the car."

Lu Qiang smiled and said in a drunken voice, "Carry me in your arms brother." He closed his eyes and hugged Lu Feng; putting his body weight on him. They were still sitting on rocks. They sat there for a long while, talking about the things from their childhood and it was almost evening.

Lu Feng sighed and said, "I should have only bought one bottle."

Lu Feng held Lu Qiang making sure not to let him fall. He picked up Lu Qiang's jacket from the rock beside him and put it back on him. Somehow Lu Feng managed to make Lu Qiang stand, putting one arm on his shoulder then holding him by circling Lu Qiang's waist from behind. Lu Feng walked towards the car holding him. It took him a lot of time to bring Lu Qiang back to the car, but he somehow managed it.

Since it was summer, Lu Feng sweated a lot and he felt like he was out of energy. He made Lu Qiang to sit in the front passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt. He then took the car keys from his pocket, closed the door and turned towards the driver seat.

Just as he was about to start the car, Lu Qiang started to mumble, "Yuyan! I am sorry, Yuyan!"

Lu Feng looked at him but didn't try to wake him up. He drank water from the bottle in the car and started the car to get away from that place and to take Lu Qiang back to home. During the whole journey Lu Qiang kept mumbling Jiang Yuyan's name while apologizing to her about something. Lu Feng continued to focus on driving and didn't try to listen what Lu Qiang was saying.

Lu Feng drove towards the city, but decided not to take Lu Qiang to Lu mansion because he didn't want anyone to see them together. So, he took Lu Qiang to his place which was unknown to others.

Lu Feng has his own apartment somewhere in the outskirts of the city because he didn't want anyone to know about it. He took Lu Qiang there. It was a huge tower with luxurious flats. Lu Feng pulled out Lu Qiang from the car in a parking lot and carried him, like he carried him earlier, towards an elevator.

Lu Qiang was still murmuring Jiang Yuyan's name and something else, but Lu Feng was not able to hear it properly because he was busy carrying Lu Qiang's heavy body towards the elevator.

Before they could reach to elevator, Lu Feng halted and made Lu Qiang's hairs look messy and lowered them down towards his eyes. He then lowered his head down a little to hide his face.

Lu Qiang was a known person in an elite group of people; though he never exposed himself much. That particular residential tower had many rich people living in there, so Lu Feng didn't want anyone to recognize him, especially not in a drunk condition.

They got into the elevator with a few more people. Lu Feng tried to hide Lu Qiang's face by standing in the corner with him and making him look in other direction from the those people. Lu Qiang was still busy in murmuring Yuyan's name. Other people in the lift heard it and looked at them even more.

Lu Feng smiled awkwardly and said, "He just broke up with his girlfriend." Then he hugged Lu Qiang to hide his face and said, "It's okay my brother." Then, he pretended to console him.

When they reached their floor, Lu Feng dragged Lu Qiang out from the elevator towards the flat door. He unlocked the door and dragged him inside towards the bed. Both fell down on the bed, as Lu Feng lost his balance and was too much tired to handle himself. He laid down beside Lu Qiang for few moments to catch a breath.

Lu Feng was about to get up from the bed just then he heard what Lu Qiang was murmuring to himself again. This time it was clearer. it was might be because he was lying in a bed. His voice sounded more painful than it was before coming back to the Lu Feng's apartment.

"Yuyan, II am sorry!... I couldn't be by your side when you were suffering in a pain I am sorry!... I should have come to you but I didn't... I am sorry!... I even don't know what happened to you... I am sorry!

Lu Feng looked at Lu Qiang's face. His expressions were painful and tears were rolling down from the corners of his both eyes. He was continuously saying sorry to Jiang Yuyan, for so many reasons. Lu Feng felt hurt to see Lu Qiang like this.

Lu Feng didn't remember seeing Lu Qiang cry ever, not even in their childhood, as long as he could remember the past. Lu Qiang was a strong minded person. He never cried, not even in the worst situation of his life, instead he preferred to face everything without wasting time on crying. He had been like this since he was a child.

Lu Feng knew him better than anyone else, even though they were apart from each other for years. Watching Lu Qiang like this was painful for him too, but he could understand him.

Lu Feng could understand why he was like this. He could understand why he suddenly chose to drink; when he never liked it before and always hated to get drunk? He could understand exactly what was bothering him?

Lu Feng got out from the bed. He removed Lu Qiang's shoes and his jacket then tucked him in a bed properly. Still Lu Qiang was murmuring the things about Yuyan. Lu Feng left him alone because he knew Lu Qiang wanted him to be and that's why he drank and left himself to handle by Lu Feng.

Lu Feng went to the bathroom for shower. When he came back, he saw Lu Qiang was sleeping soundly and the murmuring had stopped. He went to the bed, looked at him with a smile and said, Idiot!"

He then moved to his wardrobe and was about to pull out clothes from it, he heard Lu Qiang's cell phone ring which was in his jacket. He took out the cell phone from the jacket and smiled to look at the caller's name. He immediately received the call and said, "Speak!"

Jiang Residence..

In the evening, Jiang Yang came back to home. He saw, the entire apartment was quiet, like nobody was home. He walked upstairs towards Jiang Yuyan's room. When he entered in her room, he saw the door of the painting room was open.

He stepped inside the painting room and saw, Jiang Yuyan was lying on the couch in the room with her apron on, which was covered with many colors of paint. Jiang Yuyan's hands and face were covered in the paint as well. It looked like she by mistake touched her hands to her face and ended up with those paint marks.

Jiang Yang moved towards the painting she just made. It was not complete, but he could clearly understand what she was drawing on the canvas. He realized it was not the painting she made last time. It was something very different. Jiang Yang touched the painting's corner, smiled and said, "Thank you Lu Qiang."

Just as Jiang Yang was about to move back towards Jiang Yuyan, his sight fell on the rolled canvas in the dustbin. He went near dustbin and took out the canvas roll. He opened it and as per his expectations, it was the painting she was making last time. He rolled it and put it back in the dustbin.

Jiang Yang then walked towards Jiang Yuyan, who was in a deep sleep. He loosened her apron to remove it from her. After removing the apron and putting it aside, Jiang Yang carried her towards her bedroom in his arms. He put her in bed and covered her in a quilt up to her stomach.

Then Jiang Yang moved to the bathroom, brought out a water pot and napkin. He cleaned the colors from Jiang Yuyan's face with the wet napkin and then he cleaned her hands. He put back the water pot and napkin in the bathroom, then came back towards her.

Jiang Yang leaned down to kiss her on forehead and said with a smile after a kiss on her forehead, "Still a kid. Hope this kid and her playmate will always be happy together and forever!"

Jinag Yang switched off the lights in the room and closed the door and then went to his own room.

As Jiang Yang reached his room, he dialed Lu Qiang's number. When the call got received, he heard Lu Feng's voice. He then asked surprisingly, "Lu Feng?"

Lu Feng replied, "Yes!"
