Darkness.

That was all that Long Xun saw as he scanned through the whole area. He didn't know where he was nor did he know how he got here. But as he kept on looking around the place, he realized that it was a very familiar place.

The chandelier, the hall, the chairs, the pieces of furniture, the paintings, the walls.. etc, everything called out to him. He knew this place but he couldn't pinpoint where he was. Long Xun started walking around the place, he was exploring it. He was trying to look around and see if he could understand.

As he moved from one place to another, one by one the lights in that particular area were getting switched on. Long Xun was startled. He turned his head left and right and he tried to see if there was anybody else with him, here. But upon seeing no one, he frowned.

Just as he was looking around the place, he came across a big painting of his parents. Long Xun paused when he saw the painting on the wall. He walked near the painting and he touched it. Looking at his parent's picture, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Dad....." he called while looking at the painting.

"Xun..."

Suddenly a very familiar voice called him from behind. Long Xun was startled by hearing the voice. He was stunned. Goosebumps arose all over his body and his eyes went wide with shock, surprise, and happiness. The familiarity of this voice was so deep-rooted in his soul that he could immediately recognize this person. He knew who was calling him. It was his dad's voice.

How?

He didn't know nor did he care. When Long Xun didn't turn for a long time due to shock, the voice called out his name again. This time, Long Xun quickly turned around and he saw shocked to see his father coming out of the shadows and standing before him.

"Dad....."

"Dad.... you, you are.... how?"

Long Xun burst out in tears. He just couldn't believe it. His dad was standing right in front of him. He was so shocked and surprised that he couldn't stop himself from crying.

"You're a big man now, Xun. Stop crying." Long Xun's father smiled.

Long Xun chuckled nodding his head. He quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeves and he smiled at his father. "Dad...." he called out with joy.

Long Xun moved closed towards his father for he wanted to hug him. He wanted to know whether he was dreaming or not. He missed his father dearly and now that his father was standing right in front of him, how could Long Xun not hug him?

Just as Long Xun was about to hug his father, he saw his father disappear right in front of his eyes. Stunned, Long Xun stood rooted to his place. Blinking his eyes, he turned left and right but he couldn't find his dad.

"Dad....." Long Xun called out in desperation.

"Dad.... where are you?" he cried out.

Long Xun called for his father again and again as he searched through the whole place but he couldn't even see the shadow of his father. Disappointment, fear, and sadness gripped Long Xun's heart like never before. The tears which he had wiped out for his face started falling down again.

"Dad..... where are you dad?" He screamed out loudly. His heart thumped and beat loudly in his chest as he looked everywhere for his father but upon seeing no one, he was in grief.

His dad was gone... again!

Long Xun fell down on his knees and he screamed loudly. Wrapping his arms around his body, he cried because he knew that no one to hear his cries. He was all alone. Nobody cared about him. He had no one to lean-to, no one to talk about his sorrows, his pain. He felt so lonely in that moment.

"Dad, don't leave me. Dad, don't leave me alone.." he sobbed.

"Long Xun...."

In this darkness, another voice called out to him. Detecting the mockery and maliciousness in that voice, Long Xun quickly snapped his head up and glanced towards the source of that voice.

His eyes narrowed when he saw Li Youbin standing only 10 feet away from his. Like usual, Li Youbin's had that evil smirk on his face which Long Xun recognized very well. He knew Li Youbin was mocking him, taunting him, laughing at his helplessness.

"Tsk.....tsk...Long Xun, why are you crying? Did you dad leave you again? Hahaha, what a pity!"

"Shut up!" Long Xun yelled in anger and he quickly stood up on his feet. The mocking laughter, the taunting words that he was trying so hard to forget resounded in his ears once again.

"Hahaha, poor little Long Xun, " Li Youbin laughed as if he had no fear of Long Xun in his eyes.

Long Xun was fuming mad. This time, he had already taken a decision in his heart. He wanted to kill Li Youbin. He wanted to get rid of that mocking smile that laughed at his helplessness. He didn't want to hear those taunting words anymore. And for that, Li Youbin had to die.

At this moment, Long Xun didn't care about his father nor did he care about Li Xiaolu. Only one sentence revolved around in his mind and that was — Li Youbin has to die. Making up his mind, Long Xun glared at that mocking face and he rushed towards Li Youbin madly.

Just as he was about to punch Li Youbun, Long Xun was shocked and surprised to see his hand passed right through Li Youbin's body. With wide eyes, Long Xun looked at an untouched Li Youbin and he glanced down at his own hand.

What is going on?

Long Xun raised his hand again to grab Li Youbin but when he looked up he saw that Li Youbin had disappeared right in front of his eyes. Long Xun looked left and then looked at right but just like his father, Li Youbin also was nowhere to be seen.
