"Now where have i seen this thing? it seems familiar yet i couldn't grasp any of it", Yang Luoya lift up the ring he found before. He already wash it clean. It was a golden ring with a rose craving on it.
"I just blurted out about nonsense jewelery a few days ago, and it really exist.... I remember something about golden rose with rose craving, so it's from this novel?", Yang Luoya slump on his desk still staring at the ring.
"Is it important item? but if i forget about it that means it's not included in the main plot... or it's because i'm dumb? i easily forget something"
He stare at the window and saw Yang Wei sitting under the tree alone. He wear all black clothes, and he looks gloomy. Curious, Yang Luoya came down to ask him. He put the ring inside his pocket.
"Why are you here?", Yang Luoya asked. Yang Wei stare for a few second before answering "..... today is my mother death anniversary.... yet no one remember it, i'm the only one giving flower on her tomb", his eyes look sad.
Yang Luoya and Yang Wei have different mother. Yang Luoya's mother died from mysterious illness, possibly poisoned, while Yang Wei's mother died from depression, and commited suicide. Even without any blood relation, Yang Luoya felt pity.
"Wait here!", Yang Luoya stand up and run away, leaving Yang Wei behind. Yang Wei were confused.
Yang Luoya slam open the kitchen door. The chefs and maids were afraid. They thought they do something wrong and made Yang Luoya mad. Yang Luoya look around and found a basket full of candy. Yang Luoya walk fast towards the candy basket, grab a handful of candy, and put it inside his pocket. After thinking he got enough candy, he left the kitchen fast. The chefs and the maid stand there dumbfounded. Yang Luoya returned to Yang Wei with pocket full of candy.
"here, cheer up", Yang Wei pour all the candy inside his pocket in front of Yang Wei, while yang wei contain it with both of his hand. Yang Wei expression soften. Yang Luoya just hummed and sit beside him. "hm?", Yang Wei noticing something between those candy. He pick it up, it was the golden ring Yang Luoya found before. "Ah that", noticing that, Yang Luoya tried to explain, but stopped.
Tears stream down on Yang Wei Face. Yang Luoya were shocked, he didn't know the reason why Yang Wei cried. Yang Wei tried to erase his tears but failed. "(did i do something wrong? why did he cried?)", Yang Luoya thought.
"this... this is my mother missing ring", Yang Wei explained. After Yang Wei said that, Yang Luoya finally remember it. A few months before Yang Wei mother's commited suicide, She had a fight with Yang Soren. Yang Luoya didn't know what the reason is, but it was chaotic.
Yang Wei mother's cried desperately to the point of bow down in front of Yang Soren. Yang Soren didn't listen and tried to leave. She grabbed his arms to stop him, but was pushed down instead. Yang Soren grab his wife hand fiercely. little Yang Wei who saw the whole scene can only cry while begging his father to stop hurting his mom. The next thing Yang Luoya know, her ring was thrown outside the balcony. Yang Wei mother's cried as she slumped down on the floor, Little Yang Wei hugged her mom to stop her cry.
"I tried to look for it.... for months.... but no avail", Yang Wei continued. "So big brother.... when you said you tried to looking for a missing jewelery, you tried looking for this knowing my mom anniversary were near?", Yang Wei ask. Yang Luoya want to deny it, but he can't say it in front of a child with wounded heart like Yang Wei.
"I... i just try my luck... i don't know i will actually found it", Yang Luoya said, feeling guilty. "Thank you big brother..... you are the best in the world", Yang Wei smiled. Yang Luoya tremble a bit, he couldn't handle Yang Wei's cuteness. Without saying anything, Yang Luoya just hugged him. Yang Wei smiled again and feel comfy on his embrace.
".... orange....", He mumble as he hug Yang Luoya back.
The next day....
"Woah look! it's peach tree! can you pick me some of it?", Zhao Ling said to his servant. His servant obeys and climb the tree to pick some. Zhao Ling receive few peaches happily. "I will give Yang Wei some! he might like it!"
In the other side.....
"ouch.... i accidentaly bite my tongue, it hurt as hell", Yang Luoya grumble. "When will Bai Qian come back...."
A few minutes a go....
"My lord, i heard you found madam missing ring", said Bai Qian. Yang Luoya who read a book just stare at him. "so you have been searching for it? Lord Yang Wei desperately looking the ring for months", Bai Qian continues.
"i just found it pure by luck", Yang Luoya said. "But Lord Yang Luoya who search the ring for his dear little brother knowing his mother anniversary was near, such a noble act", Bai Qian keep babbling.
Yang Luoya get agitated, "I told you i'm just- Ouch", Yang Luoya accidently bite his tongue. "ah! lord Yang Luoya! are you okay?", Bai Qian come closer. "I bite my tongue... it hurt so much", Yang Luoya said but the way he speak is different since he tried to endure the pain. "aaaaaah! you're bleeding my lord!", Bai Qian panicked.
Yang Luoya started to taste blood on his tongue. "Should i call physician?!", Bai Qian ask worried. "Don't worry, it will heal soon", said Yang Luoya as he sip his tea. "agh! it hurt!", Yang Luoya yell. "I-I-i will call physician!", Bai Qian panicked. Calling the physician just because accidently bitting the tongue sounds a bit too much. "(I need vitamin C....)", Yang Luoya thought.
"No need to call the physician, just buy me some orange from the market", Yang Luoya said. "Yes my lord!" Bai Qian hurriedly leave.
Back at present...
Yang Luoya just sitting in the garden. He hasn't touched his drink or his dessert. "It stings....", Yang Luoya grumble. Yang Luoya decided to closes his book and return to his room. Before he arrived at his room, A servant were looking for him, she carry a basket full of orange. "uh... um... my lord, Sir Bai Qian asked me to bring you these.... h-he has something urgent to do", The servant didn't dare to look at his eyes. Yang Luoya take the basket, "you can go now" As soon as Yang Luoya said that, the servant run away.
Yang Luoya continue walking to his room while carrying a basket full of orange. Suddenly he heard a noise, he got dejavu indeed. "I told you it taste great! you won't know if you don't taste it!", It was Zhao Ling following Yang Wei as always. This time he carries few peaches on his hand.
"No stop following me, why are you so stubborn?!", Yang Wei replied as he walk away. Yang Wei eyes meet Yang Luoya. Yang Luoya just stand there confused. Yang Wei suddenly walk closer, well.... half running. Yang Wei suddenly grab one orange from the basket Yang Luoya carry. "B-Beside! I prefer orange over peaches!", Yang Wei run away taking that one orange with him. His face flushed a bit yet no one notice it.
"i don't know he liked orange that much", Yang Luoya dumbfounded there as he stare at Yang Wei back. Yang Luoya and Zhao Ling meets each other. "do you want orange? i brought some", said Yang Luoya. Zhao Ling cheeks redden a bit. "um... thank you, here i got peach too", In the end Yang Luoya and Zhao Ling shared fruit together.
Yang Wei stopped running. His heart beats fast, his cheek redden. "w-what am i saying...", He was embarassed, he knelt down hiding his red face as he stare at the orange.
