Chapter 4 (ONE HOUR)


Xiao Zan went home and told his grandma about his first day. All grandma can do was to laugh her heart out.

"I have such a handsome grandson. What can and who can I blame, hahaha" Grandma laughs

"I am having a hard day and grandma is having a nice day laughing at my hard day" Xiao Zan pout

Grandma laughs and hug Xiao Zan and then Xiao Sing laughs and say this to Zan

"If you choose not to study psychology, then you will not have the trouble you are having today" Xiao Sing laughs and seems to have won the battle.

Grandma returns the challenge by saying this

"Zan is handsome and dashing, whatever and wherever he goes, he will attract attention, he will learn to manage himself well, I heard next week he is going to help a boy that has some serious challenging issues, right Zan" grandma asks

"Yes, grandma, I can't wait to see him rather than those that are like bussling bees stinging me" Zan rolls his eyes. Grandma just pat Zan's head, she is so proud of her handsome grandson

"If you listen to me there won't be any stinging bees" murmured and grumbled Father Xiao and received a stern stare from grandma. Father Xiao averted his mama glare and slowly disappear into his room upstairs and shake his head.



The days went on fast and quick, as Zan is really busy at the University studies. He heard Bowen and Wen Han are both having some good single fathers coming to see them. Having a chat with them

"So, I told you Zan, this is what you get for being too handsome" Zan smack Bowen's head

"I told you how bad I feel and this is what you are saying to me" Zan got slight angry with his friend

"Hey, let's see how is this new boy you are seeing tomorrow Zan, ok, maybe, this is not all bad" Wen Han tries and console his friend.

Zan is thinking hard about tomorrow when he is going to visit the Jiangmeng College.



Today as he walks into the College, he could already see a long queue outside his room. The office ladies just sigh and sigh. They ran and call Mr Jiang.

"Those who are here without any challenging issues will be punished" Mr Jiang spoke to these students angrily. Then, all the crowd of students quickly dissipated. There were only a few students left.

Behind Mr Jiang was a boy, who refused to show his face but just stand behind Mr Jiang. Mr Jiang nodded at me and asks me to attend to these few students first.

So, I immediately start my work with these 3 students. They were having some friendship, or love troubling teenager issues which we worked together some coping strategies.

Then, Mr Jiang brought a boy, so I assumed is the hiding boy. I have never seen any boy with such fair skin. His brown eye orbs seems mysterious but has no shine in it. He has an impassive face, fine jaw line and beautiful features on his face.

"Zan, this is Wang Yebo" I immediately stand up and smile at the boy. All I received was a blank face from the boy.

"Yebo, I like you to sit down and have some time with Mr Xiao" the boy shook his head at Mr Jiang, signalling he doesn't want it.

Mr Jiang gently smile and softly holds the boy shoulder and seems to murmur something in his ear and then the boy nod his head.


So, the boy follows me into the room. His stare actually sends chills into my spine.

"Hey, I like to introduce myself and can we have a little chat, I introduce myself and you introduce yourself to me. How about that?".

The boy doesn't seems to hear what I say and he walks towards the window and pull a chair and sit near the window and look outside.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" there was still no reply and I was not able to see the boy's face but the side of it.

"IS there something interesting out", I ask the boy smilingly and I began to walk toward him and take a peep outside the window. I trace his glaze and notice that he is looking towards the exit of the College. I wonder if he is longing to go home.

"Do you enjoy school?" I ask the boy again.

This time the boy turns his face at me and put his finger to his mouth and he murmured 2 words

"One Hour" then his face look back to outside the window.

"What one hour?" I ask him again. He kept quiet. So, I ask him

"You name, Wang Yebo, right", The boy didn't even nodded, He turn around and reply the same word.

"One Hour" and he looks at his watch and apparently, he set his watch for an hour.

I walked towards him and try to have a conversation with him, He turns his eyes towards me and I smile at him. He seems to be a bit shock and he put his finger at his mouth, signalling me to stop talking and then he said the same word

"ONE HOUR"

Finally, I began to understand him, The boy wanted me to keep quiet and he will just spent an hour here without talking. I look at him with his face looking outside the window where the calm wind blow into the room cooling off his pale white face. The wind also jolted those few strand of hair in front of his face, allowing them to do some free style dancing above his face. I wonder what had happens to this boy that had cause him to be so quiet and looking out at the window for an hour. He is a teenager of 15 years old. Most teenager at this age would be so hyperactive that keeping them on the chair for an hour probably needs a rope.

However, when I pulled my chair and sit side by side with him, just following his trace and looking outside quietly, he seems surprise. He looks at me for a few minutes than he turns his eyes towards the window again. Somehow, I feels that there were unspeakable pain in his eyes even though he is not speaking any words other than the word one hour. There were no action from him other than pulling the chair and sit near the window.

I thought he would say something or reject me when I join him to sit near the window but apparently after some deep thought, he decided to let me sit beside him.

Honestly, as an intern with not much experience, I was at a lost of what to do. However, I know that traumatic suffer usually has a lot of trust issue. I remembered my lecturer teaching that healing the heart takes and needs a lot of patience.

So, this is my first session with Wang Yebo, sitting beside him for an hour and having him saying two words "One Hour". After his watch peeps, he stands up and pick up his bag.

I immediately grab this opportunity and told him this

"Yebo, we meet next week for another hour" He looks at me with a wide eye than he shrug his shoulder, take another look at me, nodding his head and left my room.

I don't know if I am imagining but when I smile at him, I saw a slight softening of his eyes. I need to find out more information about this mysterious boy Wang Yebo.

I am sorry reader.

This is a healing story. 

It is not easy for Zan to help Yebo.

I hope my readers bear with me and continue to read my story and don't abandon me.
