Summary:Separation and rekindling of friendship is a wondrous and painful feeling. Desires to see one another and yet fidelity toward that of family can tear the heart apart.

Desires to see one another and yet fidelity toward that of family can tear the heart apart. Qing Yang sat in another café waiting to meet Na Na; he glances at his watch worried that she is running late. He decided to not let Uncle Tian know he went to see Na Na.

He wanted to try by himself instead to explain to her, since she is unwilling to even look at her father.

The sudden brush of shadow from outside, Qing Yang stood up to greet Na Na whom sat down breathlessly, “Sorry, I missed the bus when I went out.”

Qing Yang relaxed that it was only transportation issue; he had forgotten that this location was a bit out of way compare to the other places.

“You must have waited a long time.” Na Na looks apologetic.

Reassuring her, Qing Yang shook his head in a negative, “It's alright.”

Curiosity slip over Na Na face, “Why did you suddenly ask me out?”

“Because... I have something to tell you.” Qing Yang began noticing the disappointment on her face; he was embarrassed over the call late last night when he woke her up.

A closed off look appeared on Na Na face and she shook her head, “If you want to talk about that person, can you not talk about it?”

“Na Na...” Qing Yang begged, he wanted her to be good with his Uncle, he desire it so much, and he has to make her understand.

“Qing Yang. I feel truly happy when I hang out with you. And I also feel warm. I also hope that you can continue to be my little sunshine. So... please don't come in between me and that other person, okay?” Na Na words were blunt and sharp but he could just as out stubborn her in this matter.

“That's impossible.” Qing Yang said he noted the surprise, “Uncle is my most important family member. I hope that you can dissolve your misunderstanding.”

“It's not a misunderstanding. He abandoned me and my mother. That is a fact.” Na Na eyes were filling with venom and pain as she looks away from Qing Yang then back at him.

Qing Yang felt bad that Na Na would consider that of his Uncle he needed to clarify her misconceptions, “Uncle didn't know that your mother was pregnant. A while after they had broken up, he went to look for you mom.” He pauses on how to continue, “But... he couldn't find her. Na Na, you once said that you wanted to be my family, right?” Qing Yang hoped that he could bridge the gap between father and daughter, in a way it was playing dirty.

Na Na nodded her head that she did in fact want to be his family.

“Uncle Tian is my family. Family's family is also family, right?” Hope blossomed in his words, Qing Yang needed to do this for the kind man that took him in.

Disagreement was evident on the younger girls face, “You can't say it like that.” She was unhappy, “You can't link our relation to my relation with that person.” Which was true, Qing Yang acknowledges before Uncle Tian, they formed a family of Zi Feng, Ya Nuo, him and her. Before this whole drama came along it was only them four in agreement as one unit.

Qing Yang tries to find another root, he knew she didn’t want to risk relations with him because of her issues with his Uncle, “Fine, aside from our relation, Uncle Tian is your father. He is still your family.” Na Na stared at him then away, he almost got her, he almost reached her.

“Don't look at me like that.” Na Na said her voice lowering down at her disappointment.

Qing Yang could tell her distrust lingers but he would use his own line if it means to help them, “Trust me. Uncle Tian is not a heartless person.” She looks so lonely, “Although you lost your mother, but you have Uncle Tian as father. You are not alone.” He continued pressuring her, “I hope that you can face the fact that Uncle Tian is your only relative in the world. Na Na, can you give him a chance to be a father?”

Na Na picked up the glass of water and took a sip to avoid answering. Qing Yang mimic her with his yellow mug of water, he wanted her to be happy, but he sat back to watch her contemplate what he told her.

A sound from his cellphone drew Qing Yang’s attention; he drew it out and glances at it. 

Du Feng Jie: Qing Yang, have you seen Zi Feng?

Du Zi Han: Do you know where my brother is?

That was indeed concerning, tugging his phone he texted and try calling Zi Feng. Worried he glances back down on it and up to Na Na. "I have to go."

Na Na nods, "What's wrong?"

"Zi Feng is missing." Qing Yang said.

Na Na motion her hand, "Just go find him, I will be alright here."

Qing Yang gave a regretful look and stood up paying for the bill before leaving. Na Na eyes kept looking at him from his memory, but he knew that this was how it was going to be. His Uncle drives to protect his other Uncles and the responsibilities as a friend.

Why did this feel so bad for him? Like he was repeating someone else’s choice and it was wrong and yet so very right.

It would be later on that Qing Yang received an answer on his cellphone after searching areas that he and Zi Feng frequent, but he couldn't find him.

	Du Zi Feng: I am alright. I am back.
	Wei Qing Yang: You don't sound alright. Your family were worried when you didn't check in.
	Du Zi Feng: Meet me at the gym.
	Wei Qing Yang: Alright. Should I be prepared?
	Du Zi Feng: Yes.

Qing Yang grabbed his gear and gym bag once he was at the Coffee House. Cracking his neck, he felt that Zi Feng was frustrated and upset enough that he would have to help comfort him.

Obviously, what had happened was big enough to set his friend spiraling downward and this sparring he would be put under, meant he might not be able to work tomorrow. Sending a text to his uncle he let him know the situation briefing him that he would be working out and needing to take a day off.

Uncle Tian understanding confirmed that it would be fine. The Leader was important and the job needed was something only he as a bro could help him. The gym they would be visiting was not own by Han Sheng; rather it was created under another sub corporation under the financial group. The Du family was ones to run multiple different businesses that fitted their need. They sponsor and support other business and because of that were given privileges as VIP members.

The outside exterior was shaped like a giant rectangle and so he sling on his gym bag and went through the double doors to the private training hallway. Opening the door, he sees his friend already punching a punching bag. Sweat licking off in streams downs his cheek and body. "Zi Feng." He called out.

A jab and upper cut, Zi Feng stopped the bag panting. "You are here." There lingers unhappiness and resignation in those desolated eyes.

"Zi...Feng..." Qing Yang echoes concerned.

"Get your gear ready..." Zi Feng just stated.

Already dressed in his shorts and sweater, Qing Yang just place on his hand guards and asked, "Spotting?"

"Yeah...bring up the guard pads for me to punch..." Zi Feng breaths in deeply.

Qing Yang bent and pulled out the shield glove and held it a certain way as Zi Feng began to hit and kick it with his martial arts training. He was screaming in anger and unhappiness over this all.

Qing Yang had to adjust and fit himself to brace against the impact, his arms were tensing and hurting from just holding the weight of each kick and punch from his friend. Then suddenly arms in glove grip around him, "You...better?"

"Yeah..." Zi Feng slumped down onto the mat; Qing Yang follows after throwing the guard onto the floor and tugging his bag to pull out bottle of water.

Qing Yang handed one to Zi Feng, "Now mind telling me what's wrong."      

"I had unfortunate or fortunate moment where I was going to confess by letter, and well intercom came on and I heard that Ya Nuo only see me as a bro." Zi Feng tilted the water sucking it down.

"Oh." Qing Yang never thought such timing would have happened. "You are giving up?"

"I want to protect him. I want...him to be beside me if he." Zi Feng struggles, "Desires for us to be just bros then I need to accept that, right?'

Qing Yang contemplates, "I never thought you would so easily acquiesce to this." He points out, "You go for what you want with no brakes."

"But his male and I am a guy...how would you like if someone pushes you into well that..." Zi Feng began.

"Do you really think that Ya Nuo would be so easily to tell someone that he likes a guy?" Qing Yang asked and frowns, "Okay except that time he did to get rid of Zi Han but still!"

"I don't want to rock the boat at this point." Zi Feng swallows whole, "Let me...have some time."

"If that is what you wish, Bro." Qing Yang said he was disappointed, if Ya Nuo was a girl Zi Feng would chase her until she give in, but why wouldn't it be the same for a guy?

The next time he would hear about this issue would be when Zi Feng called him in to help him with the publication issue in regards to the article on him and Ya Nuo. It was evident that someone was out to maliciously smear Zi Feng's reputation. Already Qing Yang was calling their boys to do research and already stopping the publications to solve it. He already arrived to the amusement park to give his report to Zi Feng.     
 
Zi Feng asked, "Is the problem with the publication solved?"

"Yes, it should be fine." Qing Yang nods, "I had taken care of all that need to be taken care of. We also are filing the counter sue for retraction."

Zi Feng was agreeable with Qing Yang's action. "That's good."

Guang Chao started to run to them, "General Manager. Ya Nuo wanted me to hand this letter to you."

Curiously Qing Yang asked, "What did Ya Nuo write in his letter?"

Zi Feng face turned dark and moody, "He said he wants to resign. I'm going to his place to clarify this matter with him."

Qing Yang felt surprised, Ya Nuo would go this far to resign because of the article. 

Guang Chao blocked their way, "General Manager. Ya Nuo isn't at home."

Zi Feng grew desperate, "Where is he?"

Qing Yang could see the panic in Zi Feng's stance, he had already found out his need for Ya Nuo, but to lose him because of this plus Ya Nuo's mother being angry due to the article. This would be a heavy blow if Ya Nuo simply disappeared.
 

"When he handed me the letter, I heard him talking on the phone with his mother. He said something about contacting them when he reaches Japan." Guang Chao said already worrying over his friend’s behavior. 

Qing Yang urgently urge his friend, "If you don't want him to leave, we need to take action fast."

Both hurried to the car and got in. Taking off toward the airport, Zi Feng eyes were frantic as he pressed a button on his steering wheel to dial Ya Nuo's phone number.
 

'There is no response from the number you have dialed. Please call again.'

Zi Feng pressed again one more time and once again the voice of the operator came on.
 

'There is no response from the number you have dialed. Please call again.'

Arriving at the airport, Qing Yang took over the driver side and drove the car to the side loading and waiting area for passengers. As long as he was in the car it wouldn't get toed or have a ticket. Qing Yang considered the emotional upheaval that Zi Feng was under. Would this break or make them?  Then his mind turned to Na Na, and the issue still going on, he hadn't seen her since, their last talk in the tea zone.

Qing Yang perked up and got out of the car when he notices Zi Feng hauling Ya Nuo's backpack and dragging the man back with him. He noted Ya Nuo's embarrassed face and the darkness in his eyes from the stress he probably felt over the article. Ya Nuo was a gentle soul and he could see why Zi Feng was hurt that he would run away.

"Qing Yang, you're here too. I'm sorry for causing such a huge ruckus." Ya Nuo bow his head in embarrassment.

Qing Yang assess Zi Feng's mood and the words leave was clear, "It's okay. It's fine as long as you didn't leave. I'm going back first."

"Okay, I'll give you a lift." Zi Feng said, but Qing Yang wasn't dumb.

Bowing out quickly before he has to see the tense situation and blow out, Qing Yang said, "It's okay. I will take the cab back." He hopefully have enough money to take a taxi back. No way was he entering the cabin of the car with these two.

Na Na was once again avoiding Qing Yang and he was going crazy again. It seems that Zi Feng and Ya Nuo had patched everything between one another. Their aura were harmonized and he could see how both were supportive of one another. He did wish he could find such a support, but at this moment he had to figure out what to do about his Uncle and Na Na. After the moment of Uncle and Na Na talking it was quite a disaster enough that Qing Yang had to tell Zi Feng what was going on.

"I cannot do anything," Qing Yang admitted, "They aren't connecting and well Na Na demanded from Uncle NT $20 million." He breathe a sigh and shakes his head, "I..."

Ya Nuo said, "Qing Yang don't worry, we will help them both."

"They both are hurting. Na Na just won't trust him enough." Qing Yang said.

"Then we give Na Na what she wants in return for a condition. After all business is business." Zi Feng contemplates and called the intercom. "Send Yang Na Na over to my office."

It took about an hour but by then Qing Yang was itching from nerves, he sat in his chair watching Ya Nuo and Zi Feng, and a knock came from the door. "Enter." Zi Feng said.

Na Na came in dressed in her uniform looking nervously at Qing Yang then at Zi Feng, he wanted to get up but Zi Feng gave him a warning look.
 
"General Manager, you are looking for me?" Na Na kept looking between the three of the people in the office, like she was a trapped prey.

Zi Feng spoke in a reasonable tone, "I know that you made a request to the court for Uncle Tian to pay you NT$20 million." He stood up from the chair and came around holding up a piece of paper. "This is the check for NT$20 million."

Qing Yang wanted to cry out in protest but Ya Nuo shook his head at him. 

Zi Feng wheeled and deal, "I can give you the money but there is a condition. Move to Uncle Tian's place and live there for a month." He looked into Na Na's eyes estimating her, "Give him the chance to be a father."

"I'm not going." Na Na narrows her eyes and looked away.

"Na Na..." Qing Yang had gotten out of his chair wanting to somehow shake her.

Zi Feng quirked an eyebrow, "Do you not need this NT$20 million?"

Na Na puffed out her cheeks stubbornly, "This is between him and me. It's none of your business."

"Uncle Tian is my respected senior. His business is my business." Zi Feng pointed out, indeed that was true that Uncle Tian was his father's sworn brother and thus his family member, "If you insist on going through, I believe that with my power, you have a low chance of winning." He threatens lightly that if she continued with the lawsuit she wouldn't win. Then he softens the blow, "Na Na, I'm only telling you to live there for a month."

Na Na was giving an uncertain look by now at Zi Feng and the others.

"After a month it's up to you. You can leave if you want, I won't interfere." Zi Feng held up his hand.

Na Na shrewdly examines Zi Feng, "You all have confidence in him?"

"Yes, I trust him." The certainty in Zi Feng's stance convinced Na Na.

"Fine, I agree." Na Na said Qing Yang relaxes into this, glad now that he could keep an eye on her and hopefully Uncle Tian would be more happy. 

Zi Feng held out the check to Na Na, "This is yours."

Na Na gave a glance side way at Zi Feng, "Aren't you afraid that I would abscond with this NT$20 million?" She tests the older man.

Zi Feng bend down and stared into her eyes sharply, "Where would you be able to abscond to?" 

The reminder of Zi Feng's roots and reaches and Na Na nods, "True. If you really try to find me, it shouldn't be difficult." She was sick after all it wouldn't be so hard to find her in the medical hospitals. 

"Since we've made a deal, be preparing to move to Uncle Tian's," Zi Feng said already seeing the window close and everything was set.

"I know." Na Na glances to the check and back up then to Qing Yang and away, "I'm going back to work." With that she quickly leaves. 

Ya Nuo went closer to Zi Feng leaning against the desk with him as Qing Yang stood looking where she left. Ya Nuo said, "I can't believe Na Na agreed it looks like she really needs the money."

"Yes but I'm curious as to how she's going to use the money." Zi Feng echoes. 

Qing Yang couldn't believe the girl he knew those weeks was different, she was innocent, "No matter how she uses it, I think it won't be for something bad."

Zi Feng asked, "Why are you so sure?"

"I trust her." Qing Yang was confident in his assessment of Na Na, a girl that was conservative and love her mother so much, did her best to conceal her pain; she wouldn't be after money for greed. 

Zi Feng glances to Ya Nuo in disbelief, "He usually doesn't praise people like this."

"It's true." Ya Nuo whispered back. 

Qing Yang glances at them and use his hand to emphasis his point, "It's because she is Uncle's daughter." He was struggling to not blurt out that Na Na he knew her well, they spent all those weeks and he wasn't wrong on her personality.

The sound of 'ohhhh' from both really annoyed him and he rolled his eyes throwing his hand up as he crossed it.
 
Zi Feng nudges Qing Yang, "We're teasing you."

Ya Nuo's words cut into Qing Yang's upset feelings, "But I hope that in this month, Na Na can understand Uncle Tian more."

Qing Yang blows out air in exasperation, "I hope so." He wanted his most important two people to get along and to be a family together. He didn't want them to experience loneliness.
