After making sure his mother's condition had really improved, Sherli moved from her seat and left Ruri's mother to her room.
Sherli turned the knob of her bedroom door, pushing it wide open. When he was about to step into his room, he pegged at his place.
"Sister, Hongli?"
Hongli had been in Sherli's room and was sitting in her study. Hongli looked at Sherli and smiled at her.
"Home home, beautiful?" He immediately stood up and approached Sherli.
Hongli pulled Sherli's hand into her room. Once they were completely inside the room, the door of the room Sherli opened closed by itself.
Chequek!
Sherli looked at the door. Sherli looked back at Hongli.
"Why is it closed, brother?"
"It's okay, I don't want anyone to take us" Hongli said, drawing his body closer to Sherli.
Realizing Hongli was going to hug her, Sherli immediately took a few steps back to dodge.
"No, don't!"
Hongli's originally gentle gaze, became sharp due to Sherli's response.
"You!" snapped it.
"You want to come back here, or is your family supposed to support him?" Sherli rounded his eyes immediately, he certainly did not want his family affected by the impact of friendships that even his parents did not know.
Sherli rushed forward to Hongli again.
"Sorry, Brother!"
"Smart girl." She said as she stroked Sherli's hair. Sherli slightly curled her body in fear.
"Why, Beautiful? Are you afraid of me?" ask Hongli.
He immediately hugged the body of Sherli who had previously failed. Because given the condition of his mother earlier, Sherli just kept quiet without daring to respond or speak.
However, Sherli tries to compromise in order to keep her family from getting involved in her problems.
"Sister, please don't involve my family, this is my mas so just vent it to me!" he said he melted tears.
Hongli let go of his embrace, he raised Sherli's chin to look at her.
"It depends how much he thinks you're on my orders, if you refuse my wishes, your family will be what I like!" emphatically.
"Don't cry, I don't like seeing you cry. Just cry like before!" Hongli wiped Sherli's tears.

Elsewhere.
Felix didn't come home to his apartment. His car slowly drove towards his master's house. Mixed feelings think about Sherli's attitude towards him, making him not calm if it has to be joints in the apartment.
Felix has arrived at his parents' house. A European-style house that is so large with a spacious yard and overgrown with various flowers that bloom.
He immediately came in knocking on his door. Not long after that someone opened the door.
"Hello Aunt Keti, mom and dad are home?" asked Felix as he put his foot into the house.
"There's Mr. Felix, they're in the backyard" Aunt Keti said, following Felix's footsteps.
"Well Aunt, I'll go to my room first" Felix said without looking.
"Okay Sir!" Aunt Keti got out of her place and resumed her work.
Felix turned his bedroom door knob around, he immediately opened the room door wide and placed his body on the bed.
His mind felt unsettled because of Sherli's attitude earlier, he twitched his head that felt dizzy.
"Why could I be so careless, what if I had really lost her, I would have gone crazy" he murmured slowly as he stared at the ceiling.
Felix grabs her cell phone tucked in her pants pocket, intending to call Sherli.
***
At Sherli's.
Hongli pulled Sherli to sit on his bedside, stroking Sherli's hair very gently as if Sherli was a doll he loved so much.
"When will the test end?" ask Hongli.
"Saturday, Brother!" sherli pointed out.
"Well, I want your Saturday to be in my house until Sunday afternoon!" said lightly. Sherli rounded her eyes, she turned towards Hongli.
"But Brother, how am I going to get permission, Mother?" said Sherli worriedly.
"Calm down, leave that to me!"
"But, Brother?"
Tingting!
Sherli's phone rang, she immediately grabbed her phone by the bedside and saw who was calling her.
"Sister Felix?" muttered Sherli.
Hongli looked intently at the thing Sherli was holding at the moment. He gets annoyed and jealous seeing Felix call Sherli.
"Don't lift!" hongli.
"But, Brother?" Hongli fended off Sherli's phone until it was thrown some distance from her bed. Sherli was so surprised by Hongli's attitude, she looked at him sharply.
"Sister, what exactly is Brother? Why isn't Brother as gentle as we used to be when we first met?" sherli said shed tears.
Hongli looked towards Sherli, tucked a sad feeling in his heart upon seeing the girl's tears. He immediately wiped Sherli's tears.
"Take it if I say no or no" he said softly.
Hongli hugged Sherli's body as a form of regret, he did not want Sherli to see him weak with tears towards his attitude. He did all this just to keep Sherli with him.
*
Felix kept calling Sherli but was not picked up at all.
"Is he so angry with me? He didn't even pick up my phone?" muttered. Felix put down his phone, and tried to sleep.
*
Hongli let go of his embrace. He looked at Sherli's face.
"Didn't you like my attitude now?" Sherli lowered her head and nodded slowly.
"If you don't want me to be the way I am now, you have to behave like we first met, and remember! Don't limit me!" hongli.
Sherli recalled Aunt Jen's words.
"Sincerity will soften the heart."
He thinks everything that happens is because of him, so he also has to solve it.
Sherli looked at Hongli's face with a smile.
"Alright Brother, from this moment I will behave like before, also behave according to what you want," he said gently.
Hongli smiled looking at Sherli, his heart feeling so calm at this moment.
"You promise?" tanyanya.
Sherli raised her little finger.
"I promise!" Hongli immediately linked his little finger to Sherli's finger.
"I love you, Sher!"
"Thank you, brother," replied Sherli.
He thought maybe Hongli had brushed off his love until it was not a word of love that was thrown but the word love.
"The back of the house, I have something for you" Hongli said.
"I'll change my clothes soon."
Sherli got up from her seat leaving Hongli, she picked up her clothes and went into the bathroom. After it was over, Sherli approached Hongli who was still sitting on the edge of his bed.
"Come, Brother!" sherli smiled. Hongli returned Sherli's smile and stood up.
"Come on!"
They rush towards the back garden of the house, Hongli stops his steps next to Sherli's keepsake plant. Sherli stopped and looked at Hongli.
"Why stop, brother?" tanyanya.
Hongli went to the yangkana plant, he took something behind the tree. He immediately set his foot back to Sherli.
"This is Sher for you, yesterday my mother's garden was a big harvest," Hongli smiled, then thrusting a large box full of strawberries in front of Sherli. Without thinking, Sherli immediately took the box.
"Thank you, Brother!" he said while smiling.
"Alright, it's almost evening I go home first. Don't forget to spend the fruit!" Sherli nodded.
Hongli immediately went away leaving Sherli for the bamboo tree, which was his second link.
