METAL CHILD BALLad
WHERE IS YI XIE?

Jing Xuan remained alone in the large room and was engrossed in watching the show presented by the most delicious channels. The young man looked relaxed even though some of the servants would say hello sometimes. However, it did not interfere with his preoccupation in following news events.

Just some time passed, there was the sound of a roar of cars roaring in front of the residence veranda. Apparently, Ye Kai had arrived safely from a long trip. The man immediately entered without noticing anyone who wanted to welcome his arrival. But Ye Kai had already entered his room first.

"Maybe uncle is tired," Jing Xuan thought as he sipped his hot tea.

"Perhaps uncle is tired, to the extent that uncle doesn't see me here," Jing Xuan thought as he sipped his hot tea. He did not want to think too much about his uncle.

Meanwhile in the Nameless Pavilion, Zike had just finished cleaning himself up. The girl sat in a soft chair alone just befriending her cell phone and also the television. He was also waiting for a dinner menu that would usually be delivered by the waiters. Practicing beating up an ugly doll, had left him quite exhausted and also starving.

However, what he was waiting for did not seem to come to him. Zike occasionally turned his head towards the door while muttering little. "I was very tired from the exercise and Suri came a long time ago."

"I'm so hungry now." The girl spoke again while turning on the phone screen. He intended to contact Yi Xie and his best friend Nestin whom he had not seen for so long. Longing had mounted in Zike's heart.

"Didn't it bother them, if the video calls at the hour like now?" Zike said softly alone while looking at the clock that showed at 18:15 local time. "Nestin was studying and Yi Xie was also hanging out with his friends."

"I miss you all" Zike said, looking at the photos with his two best friends. "It would be nice if I could meet them."

Sometimes Zike felt like he was under house arrest since living inside Ye Kai's residence. However, his determination and dream of being able to surprise his family was also too great. What's more, when he remembered how gossipy the neighbors about the nickname of a spinster for someone who did not want to marry young.

"Old maiden?" Zike grinned to himself. "Maybe better than being a young widow."

"I'm really not ready to marry young like my friends in the village." Zike shuddered in horror as he recalled the stories of some people giving birth at a young age. Not to mention the problem of violence in a household that often ends in divorce.

Thinking of a hereditary habit in her village, made the girl inexhaustible. Can't a girl choose her own way of life? Is it forbidden, if a girl wants to pursue her dreams?

"I'm thinking about them!" Zike is infuriated by the wishes of his parents who have betrothed him to an unknown man.

"I don't want to marry that man!" zike growled while squeezing the pillow he was hugging. "Rather than marry her, I'd rather just marry a cold iceberg guy and never smile!"

Whether consciously or not, Zike had spoken that sentence without a second thought. He was simply expressing his own heart's irritation about the matter that had made him leave the house

However, the girl finally realized that her words just now were not true. He also jerked himself. "Yes Tuhaaan! I've got Alexi and he's not an iceberg-cold guy. She's very warm to me."

"I'm sorry, Ale!" Zike really feels guilty heart greeting. Although their relationship will somehow go forward, but Zike hopes all he can pass along with Alexi. What great expectations for the handsome and beautiful man.

"Yi Xie!" Zike tried to contact Yi Xie just to spill his longing on the friend. However, the young man's number was not active at all. "Surprisingly, what's up?"

Zike's feeling became a little worried. He immediately contacted Nestin to find out about Yi Xie, but he also felt homesick for his best friend.

"I don't know where Yi Xie is currently, Zike." Nestin's voice sounded from across the phone line.

"Well, you didn't know? Aren't you guys deketan?" Zike asked in a surprised tone. "Where is Yi Xi"

"Yesterday we still met a few times. Yeah, if he's going to his workshop. But how many days have I not seen him at all" said Nestin according to the circumstances he knew. "Lu take it easy, Zike. I'll find out about him."

"Tell you, yeah?"

"Yes, yeah. For your sake, my man I love the most." Nestin deliberately wanted to make Zike calm down and not keep thinking about Yi Xie.

"Gombleng you, ah!" Zike told his best friend just to joke.

"Yeeee! Even though it's a maze too, you like kangen kaan like me?" Nestin accidentally mocked Zike.

"Jiaaah! Sok your puck!" Zike doesn't want to admit of course.

The two continued to converse through the cellular channel until the sound of knocking on the door. Zike walked towards the door and opened it and was still connected to Nestin. The girl found Suri without carrying a food basket. Zike immediately said goodbye to Nestin because someone had come to his place.

"Suri?" Zike found Suri's face smiling at him.

"Good evening, Miss!" suri's greeting the fat servant who was so loyal to serve him every day.

"Good evening too, Suri. Please!" Zike invited the servant girl to enter the pavilion room, but Suru refused.

"No need, Miss. I just relayed a message from the madam, that Miss Zike was asked to come to the residence right now," Suri said in a respectful manner.

"Betted to the residence?" Zike was astonished, but he couldn't possibly refute his teacher either. "alright. We're leaving now!"

"Let's go ahead, Miss!"

...Seriate...
