Tides Of Healing Love

16. Parting ways

"Yibo What the hell happened?" Yanli asked as soon as she saw his face, she ran to him and checked his wound, she looked extremely worried.

"I am fine aunt, I just fell."

"You are not lying to me are you?" she said as she sat beside him, "is someone bullying you? Did someone push you? Tell me I will fucking teach them a lesson!"

Yibo smiled, "I am fine aunt, and no one is bullying me I swear, I just fell that's all."

Yanli sighed before she looked at him coldly, "Just what the hell were you thinking, huh? don't you know how to walk properly? How can you be so careless?"

Yibo smiled and Yanli said, "And you have the audacity to laugh!"

"Sorry, Aunt."

"Hmph... go rest. I will make something for you to eat."

"Okay."

Grady was not seen after that day, he was not even on the team anymore, Grady's parents tried to talk to Cheng but he only let the lawyers talk to them he didn't meet them, and neither did Zhan.

The day of the match came soon as well,  and Yibo was there just as he had promised, "All the best." he said to Zhan.

"I am going to win."

"I know you will." Yibo replied with a smile, "Now go."

Zhan gave him a smile before he walked away while Yibo got seated in his place and was eagerly waiting for the match to start, as he was sitting, someone suddenly came beside him and sat down, it was Meredith.

"Hi," she said.

"Hi," Yibo replied.

Meredith and he sat in silence for some time before Meredith said, "You are really good friends with Zhan right?"

Yibo nodded, "Well, you can say so." the players soon ran onto the field and Zhan was among them, charming as usual.

Yibo smiled when he saw him and he heard Meredith say, "he is really very handsome."

"That he is." Yibo then looked at Meredith and saw how she was looking at Zhan, and without thinking much he asked, "Do you like him?"

Meredith smiled as she turned to him and said, "I do have a crush on him and I would have dated him."

"Then why didn't you?"

"Why you ask? Although he is handsome, wonderful, and multitalented that is not enough, his family situation is not good, and his father is an abuser and he is his son, right? what if he turns out like him as well? And not to mention his financial situation, he is a nice guy but I don't think he is worth the effort."

Yibo blinked as he was flabbergasted, he looked away and was in a state of shock he didn't know what to say so he said nothing after that.

As he stared at Zhan, he had no idea how people thought that he was not worth the effort, how can people not see how much of a beautiful person he was?

Just how can people hurt him and sleet peacefully after that was beyond him.

As the game continued, all the players gave their best but Yibo's eyes were fixed on Zhan who looked like he was born to play and after a long match Zhan's team finally won.

Yibo stood up in his place and clapped as he had the biggest smile on his face, he was really happy that Zhan's team won.

Meredith looked at him and then at Zhan as she clapped as well feeling happy for Zhan.
