Chapter One : Fresh New Start

The flagstone path leading up to the university gate is umbrellaed by canopy of trees, the air held liberating sense of serenity. One could spend hours floating through its air and forget the imposing sadness heaving in their heart. Standing in the soil where hundreds years of history deep rooted, where innovative minds achieve renaissance wang yibo, an insignificant boy from the mountains of henan overcomes with the profound urge to cry. His eyes heat up with brimming tears. His chest heaved up with a mix of pride and ardent longing. His feet’s momentarily halted on the path which coated with drifting yellowish leafs and fallen petals, eye taking in the name embedded regally in the three arched gate surface.

Tsinghua Xuetang ( Tsinghua Imperial College)

Glaring beams of morning sun shortly blinded his sore eyes. The sky was clear, fluffy white cloud floated on the bluish horizon. Birds tittered in the branches of flourished plum blossom. There were students along with their parents or friends taking photographs under the arch, they held up a peace sign right besides their face and smiles widely into the lense. Yibo don't have anyone who would drag him here and there and pester him for a picture. He admired the shining smile on each faces, pour it's resonance into his heart until it brimmed with his own kind of joy, the one that keeps the bitterness away.

Life have a unique way of tearing one person in to shreds and putting them back together with new pieces. You will fall, get bruised sometime even trampled, in the end you've to get up and walk again.

For a moment its felt like his time has came to an halt. Everything around him buzzing and moving. Everything but him. It’s felt like those rare moment where time fall behind him for him to enjoy it every second of this very moment.
His mind reels back to the cozy home tucked in the canopy of mountains. Home is faraway now, but it’s feeling still lingers in his heart. He carries a piece of  beautiful memories that help him to moves forward, towards the future that that’s still faraway yet in the reach of his finger tip.

Yibo closed his eyes and took in a deep breath and thought about his father, memories plays of his father in the field, nursing the crops as he tells yibo about his life in the city and how he hope for Yibo to experience that life too. His father lite him up like a candle, always teach him to keep the flame alive, even if there is a storm brewing outside.

-“Father, I’ve fulfilled your wish. Your Yibo studied hard and won scholarship to get admission in Tsinghua. I hope you are proud of me. Please watch over your bobo from heaven”

Yibo open his eyes, with a wide smile tugging on his lips. He grips on his luggage and was about to join the hoard  of students pouring in through the gate when he was hit by an unexpected force, tumbles into the ground along with his luggage which slips off his grip and fall somewhere near him. A hiss escapes from his lips when his elbow scraped against the rough floor, he hears a rip before the sting of pain shoots up.

"Shit!!!"

A male voice curse behind him.

Yibo sits up and took his left hand in the right one and inspected it and sure enough the sleeves of his shirts are ripped and there is blood dripping off the wound on his elbow. Pass by students stops to inspect the moments, some murmurs themselves but no one lingers enough to offer him any help.

Yibo felt like crying, heat on his eyes came back, not because of the wound but because of the fact that he lost one of his few dress that decent enough to wear.

"Shit!! Are you alright.i didn’t mean to. Oh my god you are bleeding. Shit!! Sorry!! Shit!! Im really sorry"

A flurry of loud male voice has yibo wince, he looks up and meet a pair of brown eyes staring down at him
Worry drifting on its clear waters. The boy had his sunglass up in his hair, dresses in fancy leather jacket and ripped jeans, on his back is a motorcycle parked. Yibo's throat felt tight as he swallows the hurt and managed to give the person a weak nod and a smile which probably looks more like a wince.
