Zhou Jun looked at Ma Yuan's face who was sleeping comfortably next to him. Ma Yuan looked like a child without any blemishes when he was sleeping. Zhou Jun stroked Ma Yuan's hair that covered his forehead. He smiled. Finally, the stoic, arrogance and wild Hao Ma Yuan became his that night.
Zhou Jun wondered, since when did he start have a feelings for Ma Yuan. How did that feeling of hatred turn into love? And most importantly, Ma Yuan. Since when did the man also have a feelings for him?
Zhou Jun hugged Ma Yuan gently.
"Mmmm... Sleepy..."
Ma Yuan groaned after his sleep was disturbed.
"Sorry to wake you. You can go back to sleep."
Zhao Jun said as he kissed Ma Yuan's forehead. He smiled.
"Sweet dreams my beloved brother."
He whispered as he adjusted the blanket on Ma Yuan.

"A Jun."
Zhou Jun turned around. Ling Er came closer.
"Ma Yuan is not here."
Zhao Jun said while looking away. Seeing that, Ling Er smiled. Even though Zhou Jun already grown up, he was still a child who needed attention.
"No. I want to see you."
Ling Er said and sat next to Zhou Jun. Zhou Jun shifted slightly. He didn't want to sit too close to Ling Er. The woman who had betrayed him before.
"For what?"
Zhao Jun said indifferently.
"Ma Yuan and I broke up a long time ago."
Ling Er said.
"So? What do you want?"
Zhou Jun asked. "Don't worry. I know that long time ago." He muttered.
"I know I was wrong. But.. it all because of Ma Yuan. He used me."
Ling Er explains while trying to get closer. Zhou Jun quickly stood up. Then he sat in front of Ling Er.
"Now you want to put all the blame on Ma Yuan? The one who cheated... was you. Not him."
Zhou Jun said angrily. "If you are loyal, even if a thousand Ma Yuan come, you will still be loyal. Tch!"
"A Jun..."
Ling Er tried to touch Zhou Jun's hand.
"Zhou... Jun."
Zhou Jun make a correction. He quickly pulled his hand away. He started to feel disgusted by that woman.
"Err... Zhou Jun. You don't know what Ma Yuan has done."
Ling Er said. It caught Zhou Jun's attention. Ling Er took out her phone. Opened the gallery and gave it to Zhou Jun.
With a feeling of doubt, Zhou Jun took Ling Er's phone. Looking at the screen and starting to read one after another chat from Ma Yuan. His blood rushed to his head. Reading every slander after slander that Ma Yuan had spread about him.
After reading, Zhou Jun threw the phone back to Ling Er.
"Hah....Hahahaha...."
Zhou Jun laughed out loud. Reading the lie after lie that Ma Yuan had spread. It really felt funny. And the funniest was Ling Er. Ling Er believed and left him to be with Ma Yuan just because of that stupid lie.
"And then, why did you guys break up?"
Zhou Jun ask after his laughter died.
"He just used me to destroy you. He's not as pure as we see."
Ling Er said with her teary eyes. Trying to poison Zhuo Jun to come back to her.
"Heh..."
Zhou Jun chuckle at Ling Er's statement. "Serves you. Cheater."
"Trust me. I..."
"Trust? Who? You? Hahaha.... what joke are you trying to make here?"
Zhou Jun said.
"Zhou Jun..."
Ling Er still didn't give up.
"Sorry. I... trust Ma Yuan more than you."
Said Zhou Jun as he stood up.
"Don't ever get close or hurt Ma Yuan."
Zhou Jun give his warn. Ling Er fell silent. What happened? Why am I the one who been blamed? It was already clear that Ma Yuan was to blame for their breakup. And why did it feel like Zhou Jun was in Ma Yuan side?
On the way to the room, Zhou Jun remembered Ma Yuan's chat with Ling Er.
"Zhou Jun is not worthy of a beautiful girl like you. He is a playboy. And you are just one of his toys."
Zhou Jun shook his head while smiling.
"Ma Yuan... Ma Yuan. I will prove to you that I can stop being a playboy if you tell me to stop."
Zhou Jun muttered.
***
Excitedly, Zhou Jun opened the door. He can't wait to see Ma Yuan. To tease him till he get angry. To bully him till he cried for what he did.
The room was empty. Ma Yuan was not there. Zhou Jun search for Ma Yuan in every corner of the room.
"Where did he go? Aren't he coming back yet? What time is it now?"
Zhou Jun looked at his watches. It was six in the evening.
"Where did that old man go?"
Zhuo Jun grumbled while sitting on the edge of the bed. However, his heartbeat felt like something was wrong.
Zhou Jun quickly got up. He set his steps towards the closet. His heart almost stopped beating when he saw the contents of the closet. All that was left was his clothes. Not a single trace of Ma Yuan was left.
BANG!!!
Zhou Jun slammed the door. His heart ached and full of anger.
"Ma Yuan! Can you sit quietly? Why do you have to torture me like this...?"
Zhou Jun scratched his head roughly. His brain was at a mess. It felt like his patience was cracking and waiting to be split open.
Zhou Jun took out his cell phone. He dialed someone.
"Hello! Have you seen Ma Yuan?"
He ask rudely.
"No. Why?"
Answered from the other end of the line.
"None of your business!"
Click!
On the other end of the line, Ling Er was stunned. She really didn't expect Zhou Jun to change like this. What had Ma Yuan done to Zhou Jun to make him change like this? Ling Er failed to find an answer.
Zhou Jun called someone else.
"Hello. Have you seen Ma Yuan?"
He ask.
"No. Why?"
Answered from the other end of the line.
Click!
The line was disconnected. Just like that. Zhang Yiran was stunned.
"What's wrong with this kid?"
He muttered to his phone.
"Who's called?"
Ah Fei asked.
"Zhou Jun. He's looking for teacher Ma."
He explained. They looked at each other. "They're fighting..." they take a guess in their hearts. "Ahhh...let it be. It's none of our business." Zhang Yiran shrugged and plopping down on the bed.
Zhou Jun slammed the door roughly and stepped out. Outside, the dusk clouds had greeted him. Adding to Zhou Jun's heart's turmoil.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Zhou Jun knocked on the next door roughly. His patience was already fifty percent broken.
The door opened. Mu Zhe face pop out behind the door. Zhou Jun's face, which had been burning since before, calmed down when he saw that face. For some reason, he couldn't be angry at Mu Zhe.
"Did you see Ma Yuan?"
He ask gently. Mu Zhe shook his head.
"What happened?"
Mu Zhe asked. Zhou Jun shook his head.
"I saw him with senior Jiang."
Said Lulu who suddenly appeared behind Mu Zhe.
"Okay. Thank you."
Zhou Jun replied as he walked away. Mu Zhe and Lulu looked at each other. Lulu shrugged. Mu Zhe closed the door while his mind kept thinking about what just happening between Ma Yuan and Zhou Jun.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zhou Jun knocked on the door with all his might. He felt like he wanted to just break the door and drag Ma Yuan back with him.
The door opened. Jiang Hai's heart almost stopped beating when he saw Zhou Jun's face which was already red like a dragon. His chest heaved like a buffalo. His eyes were fixed on Ma Yuan. Jiang Hai swallowed his saliva. He felt like Ma Yuan would not survive that night.
***
"Can't sleep?"
Ma Yuan asked with his hoarse voice.
"No. I just woke up. You go back to sleep. It's still early."
Zhou Jun replied with a smile as he tuck in Ma Yuan in his arms.
"Okay."
Ma Yuan hugged Zhou Jun tightly. Zhou Jun smiled as he kiss Ma Yuan forehead sweetly.
