Lu Qiang was angry but he had to control it, as the person in front of him was his Grandpa who he loved and respected a lot. He knew, sometimes in the excitement Grandpa had habit to go overboard.
Grandpa stood there without saying a single word further as he knew, even the small thing related to Lu Lijun can make Lu Qiang lose his mind.
Lu Feng stepped towards Lu Qiang and stood beside him. He said while patting Lu Qiang's back, "Calm down. It's not that big matter. We can still handle him."
When others saw, the way Lu Feng talked to Lu Qiang, they were quite surprised to see this, but they thought it's because of Lu Lijun, as he was the most important and precious person in both elder brother's lives.
Lu Qiang nodded to what Lu Feng said. He then took a deep breath and said while looking at others, "Everyone, go downstairs." He then looked at Lu Feng and said, "You stay."
Lu Feng looked at him and said, "Even if you have asked me to leave, I would be here only, because it's about my little brother too."
Everyone went downstairs and decided to wait for Lu Qiang and Lu Feng to make Lu Lijun come out of the room.
Lu Qiang knocked on the door and said, "Lu Lijun, It's me, open the door."
There was no reply. Lu Qiang tried again and said, "I know you are upset with me. I am sorry."
Still there was no reply. It was not surprising for Lu Qiang and Lu Feng as it was very difficult to convince Lu Lijun once he is upset with something. He is like an angel when he is fine but at the time like this he was very difficult to handle.
There was a reason why Lu Qiang and Lu Feng pampered him a lot and no one was allowed to behave harshly with him. Since last five to six years Lu Qiang and Lu Feng were taking care of him in their own way. Even though they both never talked to each other, their understanding to handle Lu Lijun was always in sync.
They didn't have to consult or ask each other what to do. When one was apart, the other one was always there to take care of Lu Lijun. It happened mostly during Lu Qiang's business trips. Lu Feng always tried to be around Lu Lijun whenever Lu Qiang went on his business trips. Lu Qiang too knew that Lu Feng will handle Lu Lijun properly so he never felt worried whenever he was away.
Other than Lu Qiang, Lu Lijun only listened to Lu Feng. Lu Lijun's anger was not an easy thing to handle for Lu family but his two elder brothers were like a cold breeze to Lu Lijun's heart which was able to cool him down anytime with only small efforts from them.
Lu Qiang tried to convince Lu Lijun to open the door but as he expected, there was no reply. Lu Feng tried too but still there was no use.
Lu Qiang and Lu Feng thought about the solution to open the door. Lu Lijun locked the door from inside which was unable to open from outside with the keys. Before this too Lu Lijun did this but he opened the door once he cooled down after listening to Lu Qiang, but this time he was not ready to open it. Half hour passed by just to convince him but there was no reply, not a sound of anything from inside.
All family members were worried too as Lu Lijun never took this much time to come out once he listened to Lu Qiang. This time the condition was difficult that even Elder Lu felt worried. He never imagined, his words could affect him that badly. He was just sitting quietly to wait for Lu Lijun to come out. His wife looked at him and gave him assuring nod that everything will be fine.
Lu Qiang and Lu Feng decided to enter inside the room through gallery of Lu Lijun's room. Lu Lijun's room was adjacent to his parent's room and their galleries were facing in same direction and were away by a distance which could be cover with some efforts.
Breaking the door was not an option, as in the past doctor suggested them not to do it until and unless that's the last option. Considering his condition, making him come out of the room on his own by talking to him was the best thing to do.
Breaking the door was like forcing him to come out and going against his will and that thing was not good in his case. He could have taken different way to show his anger instead of locking himself in a room and that was the other concern doctor had so locking himself inside the room was safest option.
Most of the times he understood and came out on his own but this time, he took too much time so Lu Qiang and Lu Feng started to feel worried.
Both entered into Lu Qiang's parent's room and straight headed to the gallery. The distance between two galleries was not much but still it was dangerous if one did a mistake.
Lu Qiang removed his jacket and put it on gallery's railing. He then looked at Lu Feng and said, "I will cross this gallery you stay here, it might be dangerous."
Lu Feng replied, "No! I will come too."
Lu Qiang: "I will open the door once I enter the room then you can come."
Lu Feng: "You know better, you can't do that until he permits you to open it and I don't have that much patience to wait. Also, I am his brother too and I have a right to feel worried about him."
Upon hearing Lu Feng, Lu Qiang didn't say anything to stop him but just said, "Okay, but be careful."
Lu Feng nodded and said, "You too."
Lu Qiang climbed the gallery and stood on its railing. He crossed the gallery in just one long jump. Lu Feng followed him and did the same. Both entered the room and were surprised to see the messy condition in the room. It looked like he was very angry and he threw away each and every thing in his room.
His books, toys, clothes in a wardrobe, bed sheets on bed and chair all were thrown out somewhere else from their places. Toys were broken. Even the new gaming laptop bought by Lu Qiang as his birthday present was lying in one corner and looked like he threw it too.
Both headed inside by crossing the mess in the room below their feet. They searched for Lu Lijun but he was nowhere to be seen. Lu Qiang checked the other side of the bed while Lu Feng Checked the bathroom but he was not there too.
Lu Qiang looked at the wardrobe and stepped towards him. He saw Lu Lijun was sitting in a wardrobe while leaning backward to it's wall with his eyes closed. He looked like had fallen asleep.
When Lu Feng and Lu Qiang saw him both gave out a sigh of relief. Lu Qiang checked him if he could wake up Lu Lijun but he was in a deep sleep. Both felt worried to see him sleeping at this time of a day.
Lu Qiang carried Lu Lijun in his arms. Lu Feng opened the door for Lu Qiang to take Lu Lijun in his room. It was unspeakable understanding between these two brothers. Lu Feng too followed Lu Qiang to his room and on the way he called Lu Lijun's doctor to check him.
Lu Lijun's room was messy so Lu Qiang took Lu Lijun to his own room which was on second floor. Also, whenever Lu Lijun behaved like this, Lu Qiang always preferred to keep him beside himself in his own room. Lu Qiang put Lu Lijun in his bed and covered him with the quilt. Lu Lijun looked calm and sleeping soundly while breathing steadily. Lu Qiang then leaned downward, caressed Lu Lijun's head and kissed him on his forehead.
Lu Qiang sat on the corner of the bed with worried expressions on his face. Lu Lijun was sleeping right now but how he will react once he wake up, that was the thing to be worried about. Lu Feng was standing near the bed.
Lu Feng looked at Lu Qiang, put his one hand on Lu Qiang's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. We can make him understand the things, he just need time."
Lu Qiang looked at Lu Lijun's calm face and said worriedly, "I know, but I don't want to do anything which can make him go back to, from where we pulled him back."
Lu Feng too looked at sleeping Lu Lijun and said, "He is grown up kid now, not five year old. We did our best till now but now it's time to make him understand the things clearly."
Lu Qiang replied, "I can't rush for anything. Just let some more time pass by."
Lu Feng, "I too am worried about him but too much time might make it difficult for him to take things normally. Also, this time I won't be able to see you sacrificing anything for any reason. Understand!"
Lu Qiang didn't react. He just listened to what Lu Feng said while looking at Lu Lijun. After a while he replied, "This time something is there that I can't sacrifice and also I want both of them in my life. I need to find a solution."
Lu Feng felt relaxed after hearing this words and said, "You are right but I think you don't have to worry this much." He then smiled and said teasingly, "I think, Lu Lijun will like Yuyan a lot that even you will feel jealous of him."
Lu Qiang too smiled and said, "I hope this to happen in reality. As long as both can stay beside me, I am fine with anything."
