Chapter 9 (Hearts)

Chapter 9 (Hearts)

I waved at Mr Jiang while talking to Yebo, of course I told him about his moves in the basketball court.

"Oh, Yebo, I saw how you don the ball into the hoop. Wow!!!! That was fantastic" I told him

All I heard from him was at first

"Mn" while he is sinking his perfect teeth into his pie. I must have shown too much excitement because I find myself blabbering non-stopped praising his performance at the game.

I also gave him an orange juice which I brought specially for him. I think I might feel like a parent to him because this is what I told him

"Hey, orange juice helps you to replenish your energy. After playing so well in the court. You need this energy drink". I could see how much Yebo enjoys it even though his smile is never too wide. His eyes looks relax and more sparklish than the first time I met him. His posture is also more relax with me. He took the juice eagerly and even returned with extra words like

"Thank you" "Do you want a drink too" "You also need a drink as you talk a lot"

Those words are like miracles from the sky because according to Mr Jiang he usually doesn't talk more than three word when answering questions. You know what, while talking to him, I was actually thirsty. I just took his half drank juice and took a mouth of it unconsciously. Then, I realized my mistakes

"Oh, sorry Yebo, I forgot I drank your juice. That's was rude" I told him

Yebo looks at me for a while and then he says something strange to me.

"Only you are allow to"

I couldn't comprehend his answer too well but the hall was really full of people trying to congratulate him. After that, he was swam with lots of young girls asking for his signature. Which to my shock was he seems angry. He pick up his bag and gives them dead stare and then he walks towards me.

"My driver is coming, can you walk with me" I nod and follow him. In my mind is Yebo has a strange character too. Others will feel on top of the world with all these sweet young girls swarming over them but Yebo feels the opposite.

While waiting for the driver. It was quite an awkward silent, so I told him this

"Uhmm, thank you for inviting me to do game, I truly enjoy watching it" I told him

His next word is not an answer to mine but rather a question.

"Do you play basketball?" Yebo asks me.

"Mmmm, I do causal playing and not too good at it at all" I told him.

"I can train you" Yebo looks at me and tell me.

Then his driver honk came, and drives us out of our conversation. Yebo seems annoyed at his driver but I just smile and open the door for him to get in.

Then, I do as what ge ge usually does, I told him

"Rest well, you played really well today"

Yebo looks at me intensely as the driver car drove off.

I am feeling happy about today's progress with Yebo. I feel like I need my grandma to help me too.

I went home and talk to her straight away

I told her all about the happenings today.

"So, you share and watch a video together in the beginning" Grandma asks me.

"Yes"

"Mmmm... he wants you to know more about him, he is opening up his space" Grandma told me.

"Grandma, I was so worry when he was breathing hard. I thought I lost it there" I am still worry now as I am not really experience as well

"Mmmm, can you tell me what you did well then at that moment" Grandma asks me.

"Grandma, I knew he was feeling sad, I could see all the symptoms, so that is why I share the story of my dead puppy and was trying not to make him feel guilty but he began to breathe heavily"

"What else did you do Zan"

"I hold his hands and get him to focus on me and teach him to breathe slowly to calm himself. I was worried that I went too deep too fast. Tell me grandma, did I do wrong" Zan told grandma (Now, I don't know much what other psychologist are doing, so this is just a fantasy story)

"When they open up a bit more about themselves, memories does flow back to the past and there can be reactions with the body like what Yebo is feeling. I think you did great by calming him" (Actual psychologist please forgive me if this is wrong, just a story).

"Grandma, there are many invitations from Yebo today, like he asks if I like to learn how to play basketball" I told grandma

"I think Zan, I like you to think about this and make your own decision. All you have to remember is the purpose of what you are doing. Can you tell me your purpose now again" Grandma asks me

"To heal his heart" I told grandma

"You got the right purpose, your actions will follow through from your heart as well" Grandma told me.

Grandma gave me a lot of thought. I will follow my heart and my heart is to heal Yebo's heart. It sound a bit complicated but I truly believes this is what I want to do. I wonder if there a connection between his heart and my heart because Yebo has occupied quite a special place in my heart.

I settle into my routine again, study, eating and sleeping like a normal University student. Just that tonight I have more to smile about, because in my heart I think Yebo is opening his heart to me as well.

The weeks has passed though not as quickly as I wanted it to be. This is because I am looking forward to seeing Yebo as well.

Today, I walked into Jiangmeng College with a wide and broad smile. However, the smile diminishes quickly when I have this conversation with Mr Jiang

"Zan, Yebo is not in school today and will be for a while" Mr Jiang told me.

All my mind could think of is

"OH NO!!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED?"
