Sorry for the late update and thank you for not leaving me   (＾▽＾)

A boy about 12 years old is walking alone, holding a fruit ice cream in his right hand, while in his left hand holding a plastic bag. He was busy licking the ice cream until his attention was distracted by the sound of crying from a playground not far from where he was standing now.

The boy observes the surroundings. Wondering who is crying at the amusement park at this time of the night! The watch is showing half past ten at night. His friends should be sleeping because they still have to go to school tomorrow. If you ask why the child is still roaming the streets, he has just returned from his part-time job.

The boy seemed to think for a moment, while thinking whether it was a human voice or a ghost as his friends often told him. Then he remembered about his mother's words, if you are curious about something, get rid of your curiosity but be careful for each step. Finally, after thinking for a while the boy decided to check out the playground, who knew there was someone who needed help.

The boy was looking for source of crying sound, his steps are cautious but still certain. His hand holding the plastic bag, the grip became tighter as the cry sounded louder. His eyes closed slightly so that at any time if he saw something bad he would quickly run away right then.

The boy arrived at a twin slide, beside it there is a small cave in the shape of a rabbit head. When he arrived in front of the rabbit cave, the sound of crying was louder and louder, as the boy stepped more slowly. The boy was still a little hesitant about checking it or not, but when he heard the sound of toys that he often heard from his friends, he immediately jumped into the cave.

He was shocked when he found a little boy who looked much younger than himself crying with snot that had reached the mouth and hands holding toys. His eyes look puffy with pale cheeks considering the cold weather outside.

"Why are you here alone?" The older one asked slowly.

The younger one sniffs loudly enough to produce a sound, which the older boy thought was quite funny.

"My.. my parents left me.." the child said, while still crying. While the boy just smiled at that.

"Here, drink this warm milk first" the boy handed him the plastic bag he was carrying. The child accepts it and drinks it immediately.

"Thank you."

"Okay, okay, don't cry. People will think it's a ghost if you cry at this time" The boy pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped the tears and snot of the child.

The kid just nodded while he was busy drinking the warm milk which he felt quite soothing for his cold cheeks.

"Do you want to come to my house? I think it would be better. I will help you find your parents tomorrow"

"Hm"

The child nodded happily, he immediately stood up. Standing together like this, the boy realised that the younger one is only as high as his elbow. The child hands the toy over to the older one, who puts it in his own pocket. Then he crouched down to position himself.

"Come on. I'll carry you home."

The younger one immediately climbs onto his back without further ado. They smiled brightly at each other with sparkling eyes.

They both left the park towards the highway. Both were silent for a long time until the older child decided to talk.

"My name is Xiao Zhan. What's your name?"

"Didi" the younger one said in a sleepy tone. He already yawned several times since Zhan began to carry him.

"Didi? Nothing else?"

"Um, no" The younger one rested his head on Zhan's small shoulder.

"How old are you?"

"Six years"

"Then we have an age gap of six years, so you have to call me gege. Okay?" Zhan said happily.

"Ge... Ge..." The younger one murmured but Zhan can still hear it. After that, there was a soft snoring from his lips.

Zhan just smiled at the snoring from his back, he thought the boy was very funny in everything. His attitude, round face and very small body. Even the sound of his snoring is very funny and cute in his ears. He had never seen a child as funny as this, because indeed most of the people in his neighborhood were more of the same age or older than him. If there is a smaller one, it's still a baby.

Along the way to his home Zhan's face is radiant. Once in front of the door of his house, he knocked on the door of the house slowly and knocked on the bamboo beside the door four times. Shortly after that the door opened revealing a woman with a pretty face and ponytail. The woman is in her 30s. A smile graced his face when she saw Zhan had come. But upon seeing a child on his back, the woman's eyes narrowed in confusion.

'Who is he?' The woman moved her hands.

'Didi. I found him in the park. I think his parents accidentally left him behind' Zhan moved his hands too.

The woman smiled again, then told Zhan to enter.

Zhan put the child carefully on his bed not far from the entrance of his house. The house happened to be indeed not too big, with two rooms, one bathroom while the rest was for the kitchen and living room.

"Do I have to wake him for dinner, Mom?" Zhan asked as he entered the kitchen.

'Just wake him gently. It is not good to sleep with a hungry stomach. I prepared the lotus root soup knowing you like it.' Zhan's mother moved her hands.

She is not mute since birth, she can still hear and understand someone's words from the voice.

"Alright mom, Zhanzhan will wake him up" .

Zhan tried to wake him carefully. His small hands shake the body of a child much smaller than him slowly.

"Didi, let's eat. Get up for a minute"

Didi slowly opens his eyes.

"I'm sleepy"

"Just a moment, okay? Let me carry if you don't want to walk"

Didi just nodded. And Zhan immediately carried him on his back.

Zhan's mother who saw both of them smiled sweetly. She handed Zhan a bowl of lotus root soup.

"I'll eat in the same bowl with him, Mom. I don't think he can finish the whole bowl"

Zhan made Didi sit, while Didi immediately opened his eyes wide when he smelled a delicious aroma entering his nose.

The three of them ate well. Then Zhan's mother asked Zhan to ask Didi's name.

"He said his name was Didi, Mom."

Zhan said innocently. His mother just smiled and told him to ask again. It's possible that when Zhan asked about his name before, he was sleepy.

"Didi, What is your name? My mother does not believe that your name is Didi"

Didi who is still busy gulping down the soup just muttered.

Zhan was so anxious to get the answer, so he quickly snatched the bowl Didi was holding.

"Answer me first, then I'll give it back"

"Didi already said it's..."

Zhan could see Didi moving his lips, but no sound came out of his mouth.

"What Didi? Gege didn't hear?"

"Didi's name is..."

Didi's moving lips are clearly visible, but no sound was coming out.

Xiao Zhan..

Xiao Zhan..

Wake up..

Zhan wakes up from his sleep with a jolt. His teammates are looking at him worriedly.

"Are you all right?" - Zhuo Cheng.

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy. When did I fall asleep?" Zhan asked holding his head that was still wrapped in bandages.

"We think that you really need to rest for a few days for what happened to your head, so when you accidentally dozed off, we let you sleep." - Paul Yu.

"Shouldn't it be time for a re-examination at the hospital?" - Zhuo Cheng.

"That's not necessary. Zoey Meng Jie can also do it here." - Xiao Zhan.

"No. This time you have to go to the hospital" Zoey Meng who suddenly appeared, commanded.

"But Jie.."

Zhan made a miserable face.

"There are no buts. Zhuo Cheng and Fan Xing, I ask both of you to escort Xiao Zhan to the hospital" She ordered.

"Can I go with him Jie?" - Paul Yu.

"The rest of the team remains in the office and complete their work"

Zoey left without giving any space to complain.

"Your sister is very fierce Yu-ge" - Guo Cheng.

Paul Yu just nodded silently.

"Then we will go first, if something happens immediately contact us" - Zhuo Cheng.

"Roger that, captain"

The three of them headed for the hospital in Zhuo Cheng's car. As soon as they arrived at the hospital, they took Zhan to get examined.

"Mr. Xiao Zhan, we found something strange happened to your brain" The doctor said, as he finished his examining the reports. The three of them looked confused.

"You mean doctor?" - Zhuo Cheng.

"We accidentally discovered that Mr Xiao Zhan had or was experiencing amnesia. And now there are cells from his brain that have been rebuilt and are in the process of recovery" The doctor explained.

"Amnesia?!" Zhuo Cheng and Fan Xing said simultaneously. While Zhan was just speechless.

"Yes. Mr. Xiao Zhan do you feel like you often remember something faintly lately?" The doctor asked.

Zhan nodded. Zhuo Cheng and Fan Xing looked at him with a worried and surprised look.

"Lately, I often unintentionally dream of the same thing. I remember having experienced it when I was a child. But there are parts that look vague and unclear in my dreams. At the beginning of the first dream, the parts I remember were really blurry, but after dreaming of the same thing a few times, it became somewhat clearer even though it wasn't completely clear" Zhan admitted.

"I think that's one of the part of your lost memories. So Mr. Xiao Zhan, have you ever experienced a head injury or anything like that, causing some of your memory to disappear?" the doctor asked.

"I don't remember the doctor. I never had any scars other than burns on my body when I was little"

"This is quite rare for a person's memory to disappear without reason" the doctor said thinking.

"Xiao Zhan, aren't you curious about how that happened?" - Zhuo Cheng.

"It's better for Xiao Zhan-ge to check it further so that he knows more about what happened" - Fan Xing.

Zhan seemed to think for a moment. But finally he nodded.

After doing a few checkups on Zhan and talking for a while, they decided to take Zhan home.

"Then we'll leave first, take rest."

Zhuo Cheng dropped Xiao Zhan at his apartment and left with Fan Xing.

Zhan closed the door and walk toward his bed with unsteady steps.

But before he could reach his bed, someone knocked on the door.

"Why did they come back?"

Zhan thought it was Zhuo Cheng and Fan Xing.

"Did you forget something..."

Zhan asked opening the door to reveal someone beyond his expectations. The person whom he had not met for several days due to illness is now standing in front of him. Zhan admits that he misses the face and the person in front of him right now.

With his blue mane and flat face, he looked at Zhan, who was a bit surprised at his arrival. However, a second later Zhan beamed a bright smile.
