Healing Love (Yizhan, Zhanyi) Love COMPLETED

Chapter 11 (More than friend)

Chapter 11 (More than Friend)

Yebo was extremely happy when I said yes. He began to get a bit cringy like a ten years old kid. I find this is totally a different side of him adorable. However, he is only fifteen but for a boy who is famous in school for being cold, I wonder what was the reason that he had to put that coldness and stern look in the school. Was there something that I have to find out.

My agreement to see him and help him also my intention to get Yebo to heal his heart. Although he has open up his space for me to get to know him. Yebo is still close-up on the grief that he is having inside his dark heart that is hurting him too much that I feel his pain and torment when he looks at the photo of his mother.

"I am not able to come tomorrow because I have to go out with my buddies from the University as we had already planned an outing, but I will come after tomorrow" I told Yebo.

I thought seeing him the day after tomorrow will bring joy to him, But, there was a tint of sadness in his eyes that was inescapable to my sharp noticing. I wonder what is going on in his little mind. He hang his head low and didn't murmured a word.

"Hey, it is just a day away" I told him

One thing I must say is this boy words always surprises me

"Are your friends more fun than me" Yebo asks me

I was stunt for a while. I just find it hard to answer him.

"Yebo, why are you asking me this question, can you tell me why" I was curious why he ask me this. There is something that I need to discover about him.

"Nothing, you could come here but you choose to go with your friends" Yebo looks at me.

"Oh no, it is not like that, I promise them and I must keep my promise. How about you inviting your friends to come and play with you tomorrow' I ask him sincerely

"I have no friend" Yebo told me.

This has made me absolutely sad. Is he telling me that he is lonely.

"Oh, how about your basketball buddies?" I ask him

"They are basketball buddies, not friends" Yebo told me

"You can become friends with them if you choose to" I ask him

"But.. I don't want to, I only want you to be my friend" Yebo told me.

"Yebo, I am more than four years older than you, you do need friends of your own age as well" I told him.

However, as I was talking, I noticed that Yebo seems a bit more agitated and he hand began to form into a fist.

I didn't want to go leaving him upset and especially when I knew that he is a very lonely boy.

"Yebo, I will always be your friend but I am just suggesting that having friends of your age you might enjoy more than just having one friend like me" I told Yebo.

This doesn't really work with Yebo, because I could see that he is breathing hard again.

"One good friend is enough for me, I don't want you to leave me and don't be my friend. Are you angry with me now, People always angry with me, I know" Yebo told me and his face is pale

I am really feeling pain in my heart because I am thinking why would he thinks that I will leave him and what did I display that he think I am angry with him.

I myself was also beginning to panic, I was worried that I did a bad move that upset him. As a psychologist, I need to teach him coping strategies so that when his is upset, he knows how to move into a safe space.

"Yebo, one very important thing you must remember. I am and will always be your friend. Number two, I am not angry with you and never had. Number three, I will not leave you. Have you got that" I said all these in one breathe.

I think my words seems to work because I could feels that Yebo has began to loosen up a bit.

"I think my appointment with my friends will finish after a late lunch. I can come and help you with your homework tomorrow if you like, but you have to remember my three points, ok" I told him, I know I have listen to my heart a lot more than I like because I am coming to see him tomorrow as well.  

The boy really has the look of an angel when he smiles. He looks at me and smile with his brown orbs and the perfect teeth. He nods and then holds my hand and squeeze it and then he told me

"Thank you for being my friend" Such simple words but looking at him, these words carry a lot of meaning and depth to him.

As it is really getting late, I told him to go in and I will see him tomorrow.

He turns around and run towards me again and give me a hug and he repeated the words

"Friend" He asks me again

"No, more than friend, ge ge, you already calls me that" I told him. I could see the happiness shining on his face.

When I reached my home, I took a quick shower and lay on my bed. I think of my adventures today with Wang Yebo. In my own mind, I was wondering all the questions and the conversation that we were talking.

I came to the conclusion for myself is that Yebo is a very lonely boy. That kind of traumatic experiences that he had, has shut him down. He doesn't have friends because he choose not to, I notice that he is not only very handsome, good looking but also popular in school because of his academic and sportiness. He doesn't regards his team mates as friends which is strange. Usually, teenagers bonds well with their sports teammates.

Also, I notice that Yebo is quite unstable in friendship relationship, maybe not even sure how friendship works. He probably thinks that friendship meaning that the person doesn't has any other friends. Another thing that is worrying me, is also he has trust issue. When I told him that he is my friend, He asked me again and wanted a hug for reassurance.

Also, one thing that constantly worries me is Yebo griefs and pains of his mother that he is holding in his heart. I know that there have to be a day that he has to outpour is heart, so that the process of healing can begin.

You know what, whenever I think of Yebo, I feels the pain in my heart as well. I wanted so much to help him that I guess healing his heart would mean healing mine as well.
