Soulmates : The Tale Of Two Hearts

45

Next day, Yibo and Zhan had breakfast together before Yibo received message from Yutao to meet the elder with Zhan.

They got ready and walked towards the residence of elder Wang.

When they reached no one was there but Yibo went inside so Zhan too followed him.

Yibo knocked lightly.

" Old Grandma, are you inside ? " Yibo asked and Zhan just looked at Yibo who gave him a mischievous smile.

" If you won't answer. I'll shout." Yibo said.

" Three ! Two !..." Yibo counted and the door opened by an elderly woman. She was skinny wearing traditional outfit. Her face skin was hanging on her weak bones, her hairs had turned silver.

" How old are you ? Still behaving like a child ! " The lady scolded.

" I'm two months." Yibo said and Zhan just shook his head.

" Two months ! Come here , brat ! " The lady huffed in anger.

" If you let me." Yibo said.

The lady again huffed but she moved aside. Yibo looked at Zhan who followed him inside.

They sat opposite to elderly lady.

" Why you called me ? And why you asked me to bring him ? " Yibo asked, pointing at Zhan.

" Come here ! " The lady said and Yibo leaned. She twisted Yibo's ears , making him hiss.

" Have you learnt patience or not ? " The lady said.

" Old Grandma ! " Yibo hissed. The grandma left it.

" You get a crazy wolf, son." The lady looked at Zhan who agreed to but not wolf because his Yibo was a lion who turned into puppy just for him..

" Grandma , how do you know ? Don't tell me you are spying on me. " Yibo said.

" Learn some patience first. " The lady gave attitude to Yibo who sat quietly after that.

Grandma turned to Yibo and said," Your Mark's colour changed, right ?"

Zhan looked at Yibo who was staring at elderly woman.

" I too want to ask about that. " Yibo said.

" My birth mark was somewhat brown in colour. It's now scarlet red." Yibo said.

Zhan too saw it red not brown.

" You know what that mark mean ?"

" Patriarch mark." Yibo said.

" Well that's right too but it has some other meaning too."

Yibo looked at the lady with questioning eyes. He did not know. No one told him neither he heard not read.

" It's soulmate mark."

" Huh ? " Yibo was confused.

" The line looked like a thread in your mark represent the red string of fate which bound soulmates. Your mark changed because you found yours."

Yibo looked at Zhan and then grandma. Zhan too was shocked to say anything.

" What does that mean ? A soulmate mark ? Yibo has in previous life too . "

There were lots of questions on his mind but he was patiently staring at the elderly woman.

" This mark is your fate, Yibo. Didn't I tell you ?"

" You both must have felt that unknown, invisible connection. You two are weak for each other but at the same time strong together. You can read each other like open books, feel emotions of each other without saying a single word."
