As XieLan drifted off to sleep, Shen Wei took a moment to collect his thoughts. He looked around the familiar yet foreign space, feeling a mix of emotions.. It had been years since he'd set foot in this apartment, and yet, the memories came flooding back..

He walked over to the window, gazing out at the cityscape. Dragon City was just as vibrant and bustling as he remembered, but his perspective had changed. He was no longer the same person who had left all those years ago..

As he stood there, lost in thought, Shen Wei's phone buzzed with an incoming message from Yezun "Hey, we're on our way over.. Need any help with unpacking?"

Shen Wei smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards his brothers.. He typed out a quick response, "Thanks, Ye. We're good for now. Just getting XieLan settled in!!"

Just then, XieLan stirred in his sleep, murmuring something incomprehensible. Shen Wei's heart swelled with love as he rushed over to comfort him..

"Papa's here, baby," He whispered, stroking his hair..

As the sun began to set, casting a warm orange glow over the apartment, Yezun, arrived with a big smile on his face..

"Hey, bro! I'm so glad to be back.. How's XieLan adjusting?" He asked, setting down a bag of groceries on the kitchen counter..

Shen Wei smiled, relieved to have his brother back "He's doing okay, I think.. Still getting used to the new environment. But he's been sleeping a lot, so that's a good sign..!!"

Yezun nodded, unpacking the groceries.. "I brought some of his favorite snacks. Thought it might help him feel more at home.."

Just then, XieLan stirred in his sleep, calling out for his papa.. Shen Wei rushed over to comfort him, while Yezun continued to unpack the groceries..

Shen Wei and Yezun chatted and laughed together, enjoying each other's company. XieLan slept peacefully, exhausted from the day's travel..

After a while, Yezun mentioned that Chu would be joining them soon.. "He's still wrapping up some work, but he'll be here for dinner," He said..

Shen Wei smiled, looking forward to seeing Chu.. "I'm glad he's coming. It'll be nice to have everyone together here!!"

On the other side, Yunlan couldn't shake off the inexplicable feeling that had been growing inside him all day. It was as if someone he deeply cared about was nearby, but he had no idea who or why..!

He tried to focus on his work, but his mind kept wandering.. The sensation was faintly familiar, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Yunlan's eyes drifted out the window, his gaze sweeping across the cityscape. Suddenly, a faint smile crept onto his face, and he felt an inexplicable sense of joy..

But why?

Next morning, Yunlan stood outside the university gates, feeling a wave of nostalgia wash over him.. It had been years since he'd last set foot on this campus, and yet, the familiar sights and sounds brought back a flood of memories..

He walked through the gates, taking in the bustling atmosphere. Students rushed past him, laughing and chatting with each other. Yunlan's eyes wandered to the old buildings, the library, and the cafeteria..

As he strolled through the campus, Yunlan couldn't shake off the feeling that he was drawn to this place for a reason. But what was it?

He stopped in front of a familiar building, his heart skipping a beat. It was the building where he used to see, talk and laugh with... Shen Wei..

What a coincidence!

Shen Wei stood outside the university building, taking a deep breath as he prepared for his first day as a professor. He had spent years studying and working, and now he is back in his hometown, ready to start a new chapter in his life..
