The latter was shocked at the sudden voice of Mr. Wei that had echoed inside the room, just to make Xian’s heartbeat drop for a moment. He shuttled yet WangJi remained calm and kept sitting next to him. As the device made an unusual sound they all looked at Xian with some worried expressions.

“What was that? Why is your heartbeat dropping?” They all said in union just to make Xian chuckle

“It’s nothing; I was just startled by dad’s voice that’s all.” Xian said while tapping Yanli’s hand that was now on his shoulder.

“What made you scared Xian? Were you taking against me on my back?” Mr. Wei teased his son

“Oh come on daddy seriously, this joke is getting older just like you.” Xian muffled at his old man who was now laughing

“No, but seriously what was all that BABY talk about” Mr. Wei inquired

“Daddy, we were just teasing A-Xian for acting like a baby all the time, and we all decided to call him that until he decides to act grown-up” Yanli lied

After that even Mr. Wei joined the trio in teasing Xian who now looked as the happiest man alive on his planet, he was so happy that he could happily die this very moment. His entire world was in front of his eyes laughing and happy, his father, his sister, his best friend and on top off all, His beloved. But, happiness came with consequence and now his body was tiring out, he started feeling numb all over his body but he never wanted to say it out loud to worry anyone.

His eyes started to shut, and he unintentionally groaned in pain, he tried muffling his voice down so that no one could hear him amongst the laughter failed as WangJi had already turned his attention towards him

“Xian… Xian… What’s happening? Are you hurt somewhere? Uncle… hurry up look at him” WangJi was worried as the grip of Xian’s hand got tighter.

“ah… It’s nothing WangJi… Dad, I am just sleepy.” Xian said as his voice started giving up on him

“No… Don’t sleep, talk to me, please. You have been sleeping for a long time.” WangJi said as he saw color from Xian’s face fade away, his heart sank as if something might go wrong the very moment. 

Chang ran out of the room to call the doctors as Mr. Wei and Yanli rushed to Xian’s side. WangJi was now holding on to Xian with one hand and caressing his face with the other one constantly trying to talk to him, as the doctor’s instructed that if he fell in a sleep again, it might get dangerous.

“Don’t sleep Xian. Jiejie made you your favorite soup. Please stay up.” Yanli cried at the sight of her brother closing his eyes. She hugged her father as it was too much for them to handle.

Suddenly the laughter turned into agony for the people inside the room, “Jie… jie… don’t cry please…” Xian said in between his breaths as WangJi looked worriedly at both siblings

“Jiejie don’t worry, I’ll keep him up, I’ll talk to him so please don’t cry. Xian is getting worked up because of that” WangJi asked Yanli who had now muffled her voice in her father’s arms

“Nothing will happen to me, I’m just sleepy. WangJi I want to sleep, my eyes are getting heavy” Xian pleaded hiding his pain

“Move aside” The doctor yelled as he came in rushing along his team. They took their sweet time examining Xian as they ordered the rest to go out and wait. After 10 minutes did they came out.

“Mr. Wei… Can we talk?” Doctor said gesturing him to walk with him but was stopped by Wangji.

“Sir you can tell us all, we all are family here and we all need to know what’s wrong with Xian”
