The Veracity

15. lie

"Our shopping went waste." Yibo said 

"So did your money." Zhan added.

"Don't remind me."

Now the two of them were sitting in a cab. Thinking about the stressful event which happened just now.

"What was that thing  aynway?"

"It was poltergiest."

"Okay so it is like...what?...ghost?"

"They aren't ghost, ghost are the spirits of dead people that thing was never alive to begin with, you can say it was free spirit who likes to harm humans."

"I see. Looks like I really need to learn to control my powers a well."

'Yes the faster the better...And Zhan next time when you encounter something like these then make sure to check there shadows ,ghost and demons and poltergeist don't have shadows"

Zhan leaned back on the seat, after today one thing shtat Zhan noticed was that Yibo does not hide his eyes, that is he does not wear any contact lens or anything, his eyes naturally change color once he is in a fight.

Come to think of it there is much more to know about Yibo.

Half way through the ride Yibo fell asleep, he seemed tired he had a frown on his face as he slept he seemed to be uncomfortable.

Once they reached the hosue Yibo looked even more weak and uncomfortable, "Hey Yibo are you okay?"

Yibo nodded.

"Would you please answer me honestly."

Yibo sighed, "I need to meditate, that poltergeist was quiet strong It completley drained me."

Zhan nodded, "Alright I won't disturb you."

Yibo gave a gentle nod to Zhan before going to his room, Zhan didn't go inside he just said at the doorstep with his head in his hands.

Today when Yibo got hurt Zhan was scared to death, so how Yibo must have felt when Zhan had got hurt and nearly died and even after waking up he does not remember him.

Not to mention ever since Zhan woke up he has caused only trouble for Yibo.

A tired sigh escaped his lips as he thought about everything that has happened, Zhan was becoming more and more desperate to learn more about his past and Yibo as well.

Moreover what would happen if one of these days those who had attacked Zhan come to harm him again? he can't let Yibo get hurt again.

He was tured from sitting and he had nothing to either so to distract his mind he decided to go for a walk, this area was quiet and peaceful and according to Yibo this area was actually very safe.

So Zhan didn't worry anymore he just put his hand in his pockets and walked.

After walking for a while he went back to the house because he was starting to feel tired now.

Once he reached the house he saw another middle aged woman passing by, the first thing that Zhan looked for was that woman's shadow and it was there.

The woman glanced at Zhan and approached him, "Hello." she said in asweet voice.

"Hello."

"Are you Yibo's boyfriend?"

Zhan smiled and nodded.

The woman smiled and said, "I have heard a lot about you, Yibo had told me that you were injured that's why he would always be in a hurry whenever I would see him in these past few days...how is he by the way"

"He is fine just resting"

"And what about you? how is your injury."

"I am fine as well ma'am thanks for the concern."

The woman smiled and gave some fruits to Zhan,"Take these, give some to Yibo and eat some your self after you helped you helped me last time I couldn't thank you so here you go."

Zhan froze, "Wait! We have met before?"

The woman looked at Zhan," Yes we have, one day I was at a mall and the staff was behaving very rudely with me, at that time you had helped me then your mother was there with you as well."

Zhan felt thunderstruck, he felt as if the ground beneath him had vanished, what the hell was this revealation, Zhan once again looked at the ground and saw the woman's shadow this woman was a human.

"My mother?"

 "Yeah your mother..."

Zhan took a deep breathe and clenched his fists, "Um..may I ask how do you know Yibo?"

The woman smiled, "I live not far from here and Yibo used to be my student, he was bright kid."

"Oh I see then you must know a lot about him, um..do you anything about his parents?"

The woman shook her head, " All I know that they had died when he was young, since then he lived in a orphanage."

"Can you tell me the name of the orphanage?"

The woman stared at Zhan for a moment before answering, "Sage orphanage."

Zhan smiled, "Thanks , for the fruits and for answering me as well."

"That's okay but you could have asked Yibo as well."

"Oh , nowadays he is always tired and has to much work load on hismelf how can I ask something so unpleasant like this?"

The woman nodded with understanding, "Anyways I will leave now...oh my I forgot to introduce myself I am Yanli"

"I am Zhan it was nice to meet you."

"It was nice to meet you too Zhan, I'll leave now"

"Bye have a good day."

"Same to you."

Once Yanli was out of sight Zhan's smile was gone as well his face was completely blank now.

Author's note: Oh boy this is the calm before the storm, what now?

Yibo lied to Zhan, but why?

what should Zhan do now?
