Destiny [YiZhan FF]

Chapter 19 - Up and down

EGO POV >>Zhan<<

This evening Yibo and I went for a ride with the horses. We took a break in the forest hut, as we did on our first ride together. Or rather in front of it, on the bench. We again gazed at the clear starry sky while a cool wind blew.

Yibo was quiet the whole time and just before we were about to leave again, he asked me why the curse skipped his brother. He explained his theory by saying that after all, his brother has already had a boyfriend for two or three years and is happy with him. The two of them, apart from Yibo's family rejecting this boyfriend, have no problems at all.

I knew the answer. But I had to think about how to explain this to Yibo. Because his theory is wrong. The curse my father pronounced on Flora Wang and all her descendants had been spoken at a moment when my father felt the utmost despair, anger and grief. He pooled all his power and pronounced the curse. This makes it particularly strong and very malicious at that.

In short words, I told Yibo that his brother is not affected by the curse because his current boyfriend, is not his true love. Because the curse, which is like a love test, only becomes active when a Wang has found his true love. I could not explain more to Yibo, because he would probably not understand, because he is in his own love test right now.

Once the curse becomes active, it begins to confuse the mind. It no longer succeeds in thinking straight or recognizing the simplest paths. Everything seems more complicated than it really is. Suddenly, Wang, who is in love, begins to see problems where there are none. He does not see the simplest solutions. But it is even more malicious because the Wang in love does not even realize that the curse has become active.

Even if you told the Wang in love that all this is because of the curse, he would not understand. It's as if he doesn't hear this information, or we speak two different languages. What is especially malicious is that this curse would be quite easy to break if the Wang in love would stick to one very specific thing and not be confused by his thoughts. It is enough if he sticks to his feelings.

But that is probably the most difficult thing about it. Trusting solely in one's feelings and leaving one's mind aside is probably difficult for everyone. Especially when you are in love and your mind is telling you problems where there are none. In order to be with the person you have fallen in love with, you would do whatever it takes and solve any problem. But in doing so, Wang, who is in love, loses himself more and more in the problems. No sooner has he solved one than two new ones seem to appear.

And in the end, Wang, who is in love, can't see the forest by the trees and loses his love. But the curse does not end there. Nor does it simply pass on to the next generation. Instead, the Wang in love loses the most important person to him, the one he loves so much. And he forgets this person. All this Wang then remembers is the feeling of a great emptiness in his heart.

If Yibo does not succeed in recognizing by himself what really matters, his love test will also end with him forgetting me and only the emptiness in his heart will remain. I can't help him with that either. Because as already explained, he would not understand if I tried to explain to him that all that is going through his mind at the moment seems so hopeless only because it is due to the curse.

However, I must also say that Yibo is not like his ancestors. He is much stronger. First of all, he is very strong-willed. What he has set in his mind, he wants to achieve no matter how. So, maybe he is the Wang who succeeds in breaking the curse. And that even without my father's pendant.

However, I must also say, unlike most people, I cannot see through Yibo. I just can't manage to read him. It should be easy with my well-developed senses. But more than now and then his restless heart, I can not perceive with him. And although there are so many emotions in his eyes, it is impossible for me to tell which emotions they are.
