"This summer, let's go for a holiday"

"Good idea? But to where?"

Xin Er said while he was busy peeling all the peanut for Marco who lazily laying inside the hammock in front of their hut. Today they are just spent their first summer holiday lazily inside their greenhouse.

"How about we just spend our summer holiday inside here?"

Said Lil Wen who sit leisurely next to Oliver who was busy preparing their evening traditional tea.

"We can spend as much time as we want inside here. But we also need to travel outside once in a while."

Marco threw a peanut shell towards Lil Wen. "After you have a boyfriend, you forget to spend your time with your friends" Marco give Lil Wen sharp gaze.

"Besides, isn't that you who happily said you wanna go to the beaches for a holidays before? Now after you have your Oliver you lost your memories."

Marco pick another peanut shell and threw it angrily to Lil Wen.

"Really? Hahaha...sorry. My mistake. Okays let go to the beaches"

Said Lil Wen and pick up all the peanut shell on the floor. Oliver just laughed hearing that while he pour the tea into the cup and pass it to Lil Wen and the others.

"Can I bring Oscar and Zhu Xian?"

Oliver question make everyone looked at each others.

"I just asking. Just forgot about what I said"

Oliver take a sip of his tea while he looked at Lil Wen. Lil Wen smile. Also the others.

"Don't worry. Your brother is the one who give me the suggestion for this holiday"

Tell Marco. Xin Er stop sipping his tea. He gaze at Marco sharply.

"If he didn't suggest for us to go to the beaches for our summer holiday, we'll just spend our entire summer holiday in here right?"

Xin Er deepest his voice. Trying his hard not to smash Marco using Oliver Chinese tea set tray. "Stingy, lazy, just stay at home till you get molded, stupid Marco" Xin Er take all the peeling peanut for himself even from Marco hand. Marco stunned and looked at Lil Wen. "What wrong with your brother today?" Lil Wen just ignored Marco, lazy to talk with someone who clueless. Lil Wen peeled a Mandarin and give it half to Oliver.

Marco stand up slowly and tap Xin Er shoulder to ask him to meet somewhere just the two of them. Firstly Xin Er just ignore Marco invitation, but after Marco grabbed his hand roughly, Xin Er had no choice other than just following Marco command.

At the end of their greenhouse, they created a gazebo where they can rest their minds by listening the water flow from the water fountain beside the gazebo.

Xin Er sitting in the rattan rocking egg swing chair with a sour face. Marco let out a heavy sigh. He never seen Xin Er sulking in a long times. The last time he saw Xin Er sulking was when they're still a student. It take him three day long to coaxing Xin Er. Now they're all grown up. It's hard for Marco to coaxing him. As an adult and Chairman son, he already has a lot in his mind. He really don't want to add with something unimportant like this.

"Why are you acting like this?"

Marco asked after Xin Er just sitting silently.

"Like what?"

Xin Er who always accept Marco dominion and treatments also have a limited amount of patient.

"We're an adult now. Don't behave like a teenage girl who sulking over a vacation. You know that I was busy expecially now. "

Marco tried his best not to hurt Xin Er feeling. But as a robot like human, Marco tends to hurt people around him without he realized it. Gladly he stayed with a bunch of friends who already understand him. Xin Er laughed annoyingly. He totally done with Marco stoic and majestic dominion.

"Just do whatever you want. I don't want to know anymore. I am tired to follow with all of your demand."

Xin Er stand up and walked away. Marco trying to catch him, but Xin Er just smacked Marco hand away.

"A Xin. Stop!"

Xin Er keep walking as fast as he could. "Busy? If you're so busy why you wanna go for a vacation out there with Oscar? Just stay at your damn office and do your damn work" Xin Er cursing in his heart.

Xin Er is a carefree person who loves enjoying his holiday leisurely with the person he loves. He always suggested to Marco for them to have a vacation once in a while somewhere just the two of them also sometimes with everyone else. But Marco always refused with busy schedule is the reasons.

What was hurt Xin Er so much this time is, he taught Marco asked them for a vacation due to his own free will. But in the end it was because of Oscar.

Xin Er starts his car and drives as fast as he can. He just wanted to forget about Marco who totally make him feel annoyed.

Xin Er sit down in front of his mother grave. Whenever he feel down or sad, he always visits his mother grave. He will laying beside his mother all day long to pouring all of his inner feelings that he tried to hide from everyone else. Before he feel calm, he will stayed there laying while crying all of his sadness. Sometimes he cried till he fell asleep until morning.

There was a time when he was still young, he cried all day long and fell asleep. He was found by the grave taker who call his father because he catch a high fever after he sleep at the grave without any blanket. His father, his stepmother and Lil Wen trying to find him without a sleep even a wink because they are afraid he will be kidnapped or something bad was happened to him.

After he been found, Lil Wen act changes drastically. He became more mature to take care and protect his elder brother who a little childish and easily get bullied by the others due his beautiful face. To protect him, his father decided to transfer him and Lil Wen to their grandparents school also stayed with them. That is how Xin Er and Marco know each other. Just like a Ying and Yang, they perfection each other weakness.

Marco stares Lil Wen who was busy doing his morning workout without a blink. "Are you not worried at all about your brother?" Oliver looked at his cousin who stared at Lil Wen while he sipping his coffee slowly. "Can you turn to human being who have a heart Ma ge? You will lose Xin ge if you continue acting like a perfect majestic" Oliver shakes his head. Alex, Justin and Yuanxi looked at the three of them in puzzled. " When all of this will be over. Xin Er... please come back quickly..." They looking at each others while sipping their coffee that tested so bitter inside their throat and crying silently in their heart.

Their house that usually warm and cozy turned into a cold war field after Xin Er left that day. Marco non stop following and asking Lil Wen where his older brother could go, meanwhile Lil Wen kept his mouth shut. Everyone knows that Lil Wen know where his brother could go. The only word Lil Wen said is

"If he disappearing like this, that means he wanted to be alone. He will be back after he cool down. If in three days he still don't show up, I'm the one who will picked him back. Don't worry"

After finishing his workout, Lil Wen sit beside Oliver and sip his coffee that already prepared by Oliver. He gaze at Oliver and smiled. Oliver smiled sweetly and continued sipping his coffee leisurely. He totally ignore Marco who gaze at him like a hungry beast looking at their pry.

"Did you really have a lots of time drinking your coffee and being lovely dovely in front of me right now? It's been three days already. Could you pick him up now?"

Marco who didn't sleep even a wink all those three day asking with his deep voice. He tried his best to hold his anger. He never lived without Xin Er even a day long without any news. Basically Xin Er always by his side and fulfill all of his needs. Marco felt like he already losing all of his senses while waiting.

"You have to be patient. My brother is on the way with a lot of souvenirs. Don't worry. Rather than worrying, better you think about the best words you wanna said to him after he came back. Remember, if you chose the wrong words, you will regret it forever. Don't say i didn't warn you"

Lil Wen words makes Marco thinking deeply. What should he say? What if he hurts Xin Er heart again? Is its enough just to say sorry? What if Xin Er really give up on him and leave him? Marco starts to feel heavy and dark feeling starts to covered his world little by little. He being devoured by uneasy feeling that makes his body feel numb.

Alex tap Lil Wen waist. Lil Wen turned and looked at Alex "Are you sure your brother on the way back? We can't take it anymore." Lil Wen nodded. "Don't worry. He chats me already." Alex, Justin and Yuanxi rubbing their chest in relief.

The three of them totally can't take it anymore with Marco who lost his composed after Xin Er left. From someone who stoics to a beast who lost his wife. He never makes mistake in the kitchen before, but just only yesterday he makes their only kettle lost its life and they need to buy a new one. No body dares to complain even Oliver. Only Lil Wen who dares to laughing him. And absolutely Marco can't be angry with Lil Wen due his status as Xin Er beloved little brother and also his last hope to bring Xin Er back.

While Marco dwell into his heavy feelings and nearly drawn him into the no return abyss, something flew and smacked hard right on his face. He about to yell angrily but his eyes nearly cry after he saw Xin Er with his Hawaiian shirt laughing with the others. He feel like his world that just only black and white in the past three day, got its color back.

Marco looks at something that flew on his face just now, he saw white shirt with an ugly monkey picture on it. He opened it and he nearly burst out with laugh after he reads the words on that shirt. "I am XinXin monkey forever" Marco shake his head. "Being your monkey is better than losing you"

Marco steps closer to Xin Er who was busy opening the souvenirs he brought from his vacation. Like a monkey, Marco slowly hug Xin Er from behind. "Ahhh...so warm" Marco put his chin on Xin Er shoulder. He wanted to be pampered by Xin Er right now. His eyes suddenly feel sleepy after three whole nights without any sleep.

Xin Er who tries to ignore Marco got no choice other than take Marco into their room after Marco sleep on his shoulder. "Annoying as always" Xin Er threw Marco on their bed but he fall together because Marco grabbed his waist tightly. "Monkey will always be a monkey..." Xin Er try to unwrapped Marco hand but failed.

"Did you put a glue on your hands?"

Xin Er slapped Marco hands again and again in the hope that Marco will let him free. But unfortunately, he still failed. Marco who miss him so much glue himself with Xin Er tightly.

"I miss you baby."

Marco said slowly. He totally feel sleepy, but he can't let Xin Er leave him even for a while. Three day of separation already make him lose all of his senses, if one minute more, maybe he will totally gone insane.

"Please forgive me baby. From now on I will listened to you. So please don't ever do this to me again."

Marco kiss Xin Er neck to release his missing feeling that he endured in those three whole days. Xin Er smiled slyly. "Yes! I win"
