41. Mesmerized
Simon's old house was just like before cozy and peaceful.
Thankfully Simon and his mother didn't force him to talk instead they told him to go and rest, so he did as he was told.
As he layed on the bed he thought that he is back finally he is back, and the room in which he was staying was Simon's old room, the room had childhood memories also a very faint memory of hs college days or should he say one particular day.
Turning to the other side he blocked those memories, but his mind still kept on whispering.
Is he here?
Will he be there at the funeral.
Will he be alone or maybe with his wife?
But then he thought that why was he wasting his thinking about someone he hasn't seen or heard of in seven years? Why waste his time?
So with a sigh he placed his forearm on his eyes and sighed.
~~~
The next day Yibo got dressed in black clothes and styled himself, to attend the funeral, and when he reached there he saw people being already seated there, all wearing black dress some, chatting some mourning, some looked bored as hell.
"Finally you are here, I didn't expect though." Jiang Cheng greeted him with a smile,
"I had to, since you are the biggest investor and blah blah," Yibo said as he looked around, "it's crowded."
"I think the same...I mean I had no idea that my father actually knew all these people, I am sure he didn't, half of them are here for time pass maybe."
Yibo looked at him up and down ,"You were his real child right?"
"No I was picked up from the dustbin..." Yibo just stared at him with a blank expressing while Jiang Cheng smile, "You asked a dumb question it's your fault, of course I am his one and only child."
"Shouldn't you be at least a little be sad?" Yibo said and Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes
"For whom? for the sperm donor?"
Yibo became quiet after that, a few minutes later Wen Qing approached them, she had became truly beautiful and matured in these years, mother of a lovely seven year old child,
"Welcome Yibo, it's been a while" she said with a smile, "How have you been?"
Jiang Cheng smirked, "He is going to say 'Fine' why bother asking."
Wen Qing glared at him while he became quiet, while she smiled before a child came running to him, "Uncle Yibo..."
"A-Yuan." Yibo said and picked the seven year old child before hugging him tightly, "How are you sweetheart."
"I missed you Uncle Yibo, did you bring something for me?" A-Yuan asked and Yibo just smiled, "What do you want?"
"Um...Chocolate." he said after thinking and spoke in his soft voice with twinkling eyes and Yibo smiled before putting him back on the ground, "I will buy it for you later."
Wen Qing smiled, "Let's go in the ceremony is going to begin."
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes, "Now I have to sit between these humans and fake sadness and then give fudging speech for that...OUCH!" Jiang Cheng nearly jumped when Wen Qing pinched his arm and glared at him.
While he caressed his arms and looked down while A-Yuan covered his mouth and giggled and Jiang Cheng glared at him, "Stop laughing or else if she beats you next time I will not help you."
A-Yuan ran away from there while Yibo looked at him with a raised brow and faint smirk while he rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah enjoy my misery."
"What did you say?" Wen Qing said with a warning voice.
"I love you sweetheart." he said with a cheesy smile and went inside, while Wen Qing shook her head. before looking at Yibo who spoke,
"I appreciate your patience as you are raising two children." he said and she smiled,
"Lets go in." Wen Qing went ahead but Yibo's eyes wandered around , looking for someone, unconsciously trying to look for face he hadn't seen in seven years.
Simon and Yuhai were already seated and when they saw Yibo they just smiled and asked him to sit down beside them, a few minutes later the ceremony began and Yibo's eyes looked around for a while feeling bored and completely uninterested in anything being said or being done.
"Oh Simon your aunt is here." Yuhai said and Yibo's heart became abnormal again as he slowly looked at the entrance from where Yanli came in, she wore a black dress and red lipstick and black heels , she looked classy but she had definitely aged.
His heart beat came to normal but he still felt heavy and his heart clenched when he realized that there was no one with Yanli and that she was alone, Yibo sighed but before he could turn back he saw another person entering the church.
And just as he had expected this person was the one his eyes were searching for, his heart had yearned for, the person who made his heart do a flip, made him feel a knot in his stomach, made time slow for him.
This person who looked so different now with specs and short hairs, and clean sharp face slim body covered by a black suit, as he walked right in front, only to stop dead in his tracks as soon as his eyes locked with Yibo's
His expression resembled that of Yibo's eyes wide, mouth slightly agape as is the time had stopped for him as if he had not expected meeting him.
He had the same emotions has Yibo, the two just stared at each other as if to confirm that yes the other person was here and they were actually seeing each other in flesh.
It's not an imaginations, or hallucination no it's not, it's true it's reality.
"Zhan!" Yanli shook him and Zhan finally looked at her as she asked him come and sit with them, Zhan had forgotten to breathe and his legs felt heavy with each passing step that took him near Yibo.
Yibo's eyes were on him as Zhan passed from right in front of him, only to sit beside Yanli who sat beside Yuhai who sat beside Simon.
But Yibo's neck had developed a mind of it's own as it kept on turning towards Zhan.
Xiao Zhan.
And to his surprise Zhan was also looking in his direction.
So many questions the two had for each there, so many unsaid words, but one eyes contact and nothing else mattered.
In the end Zhan gave him a small smile, the same smile as seven years ago innocent naive and beautiful smile, directed towards him. Zhan's eyes became wet as he looked down, while Yibo also broke the eyes contact and looked at the stage.
It was Jiang Cheng's turn to say a few words in the honor of his father and all who knew him can see how irritated he looked.
Simon smiled as he saw his expression while Wen Qing send her son out because she knew that Jiang Cheng was going to say something, no appropriate for her child to listen.
Jiang Cheng stood in front of the mile and cleared his throat as he laced his hand on the both side of the podium, "Um...so...a..few words huh?"
The crowd was silent and they all looked at him, while he rolled his eyes and said, "Well my father was a douche! period! he was a total spinless man, and I am not lying I am his own flesh and blood so I know!"
The crowd started murmured people were covering their mouths and looked at Jiang Cheng with Wide eyes while Wen Qing sighed and shook her head before she picked her bag and took out a mask and covered her face with it, her husband leaves no change to embarrassed her.
While Simon laughed as he covered her mouth with his hand and so did Haoxuan, Yuhai placed a hand on her forehead and Yanli just crossed her hands in front of her chest.
He continued, "My father, was the worst no terrible father, why do I even call him father he was sperm donor that's it, terrible condom product he used damn." Jiang Cheng spoke with genuine annoyance.
Zhan had to looked to the side as he couldn't believe that Jiang Cheng could say something like this, this man always amazes him and Yibo thought the same he couldn't look anywhere his eyes and ears were focused on stage as he digested the fact act that Jang Cheng was really saying this.
"I mean the only good thing that man has done was by donating his sperm to my mom, otherwise he was terrible father, a terrible lover, and a don't let me start what kind of a business man he was, till this I am clearing his mess."
The crowd laughed, "but whatever, he was my father,, he was a human who lived a very unproductive life but whatever, I just hope he is in a better place, and I wish to be never be born as his son again I hope, he finds peace, thanks."
After that he walked of the stage.
