Oh my Ghost [YiZhan FF]

Chapter 18 - Small Signs

Instead of going home, I went to see my parents. I wanted to see them. I gladly accepted the long way. I needed them now. And when I got there in the early morning hours and rang the doorbell, my dad opened the door. He looked at me and spread his arms. I fell into his arms crying.

My mom who heard me crying also came running. They didn't ask why I was crying, they just brought me into their living room where my dad sat down on the sofa and I laid my head on his lap while my mom knelt next to the sofa and caressed and kissed my cheeks.

They just held me and let me cry until I couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep with my head on my dad's lap. I felt my dad caressing my cheeks. I heard him say briefly to my mom, "Don't bother. I'll take care of my little boy. You go back to sleep. I'll stay with him and not leave him alone."

When I woke up sometime shortly after noon, I was still lying on my dad's lap. He patted me lightly on my shoulder and spoke softly to my mom and big brother.

I opened my eyes, saw my brother and hugged him tightly. He cuddled me and I snuggled up to him while I told my parents the whole story with Zhan from the beginning. My dad the biggest logic person who doesn't believe anything that has to do with ghosts and co, said to me that he believed me and I must not lose hope. However, he did not believe me that his brother, my emotionless uncle really laughed!

My mom spoiled me with all kinds of delicious food. And my brother tried to cheer me up by making me laugh over and over again. I couldn't think of a better place I would have wanted to be at that moment.

Yes, we always like to annoy each other. Sometimes there are arguments. But whenever one of us is not doing well, the whole family is there to build you up again. We stick together! I knew that if I went to them, they would just be there for me and build me back up.

Later, it was already evening, I was sitting outside the house with my dad. He is a smoker and is not allowed to smoke in the house. He put out his cigarette, put his arms around me and said, "I'm glad you came to us. I'm glad that even my little smart ass always finds his way to us when you're not feeling well."

"I just knew there was only one place I could be and wanted to be. My parents! I may be sassy to you guys a lot. But I'm also thankful that you guys are always there for me anyway. Especially when I'm not feeling well."

"You can come home anytime you want. Your mom and I love you and your brother very much. Yes, I would like to kick you in the butt more often, but I love you Yibo. You are my little one and always will be. And you know we are very proud of you."

"I love you guys too dad."

"And when your Zhan comes out of his coma, we want to meet him. A man who can make our son cry must really have something special about him."

"He's great dad. You're going to love him."

"I'm very excited to meet him. Now let's go inside. It's really gotten very cold. And you know your mom hates it when I get sick."

"Then you should stop smoking dad."

"And there he is again. My little smart ass." Said my dad laughing. He gave me a kiss on the forehead and pulled me inside with him.

My mom immediately wrapped me in a blanket. When my dad asked if he was getting a blanket too, my mom said it was his own fault if he was cold. After all, he didn't have to go smoke. My dad looked at her grumpily and went to get a blanket himself. Afterwards, the three of us sat on the sofa, cuddled and watched a movie together.

The next day, I left again after breakfast. I drove straight back to Yanli. She called me and told me that Zhan had been diagnosed with minimal brain activity. Of course I wanted to go to him immediately. She said that this does not automatically mean he will wake up, but it is a good sign.
