He was raised only by his father, as his mother died when he was only 3 y...
A/n: It's a very long update,I warn you! More than 4k words, but I didn't want to split the Christmas dinner into four parts. Three parts are already too many🤦♀️
After dinner the whole family went to the living room for the most-awaited moment of the evening: the unpacking of the presents boxes left there by Santa Claus. It was close to a half an hour since Yibo was still hidden inside the restroom, to avoid feeling like an outsider.
He jumped out of his skin at the door knocking and at Xiao Zhan's worried voice: "What's wrong, are you alright, Perrito? I saw you eating quite a lot from NaiNai's egg pie, could it be that it was not so good for your stomach?"
"No, no, I'm alright. I was just on the phone with my boss. Go back, everything is okay.", Yibo replied from behind the still closed door.
"Then, open the door, I want to see with my own eyes that you're alright. Besides, they said to bring you with me. Your box remained the only one unpacked, Santa could feel offended. Come on, open the door!", Xiao Zhan whined, scratching onto the door like an impatient kid.
"I have a box, too? Seems that Santa is getting too old, he should retire from the job! Santa should have known that I am not this family member!", Yibo said, trying to hide his surprise behind a witty joke, while unlocking the door.
"Not again!", Xiao Zhan sighed, rolling his eyes while pulling Yibo into his embrace as soon as he pushed the door open. "What the heck, Perrito! Did you even listen to my whole blabbering, there, in the living room? Of course that you have a box! You are this family member, and that is final! It should get into your stubborn skull already! Jeez!"
On their way to the living room, Yibo apologized for not bringing any gifts. "I could say that I didn't have time to buy something because I was at work, but I'm not going to lie! I didn't even think about that, as I never spent Christmas and I didn't know the tradition. Actually, now that I think about it, I watched movies, so I should have known..."
"Oh, shut up, Perrito! Why should you bring gifts? Aren't you too young to be Santa Claus? And too handsome? Look, you don't even have a beard!", ZhanZhan chuckled, wrapping an arm around the flustered boy's shoulder, after endearingly pinching his beardless chin.

"I brought him! I told you not to get worried, he was not sick because of your pie, NaiNai! He was on the phone with his boss.", Xiao Zhan explained to the worried granny who exhaled in relief.
"ZhanZhan GeGe, you left the bunny you got from Santa alone and look at him, he's crying!", Lulu whined, hugging the red plush bunny at her chest.
"I'm sorry, bunny, I didn't forget about you, I left just for a minute, just for bringing a gouzaizai friend to you.", Xiao Zhan smiled, taking the plush from his little sister and giving a kiss to the upset bunny doll, then handing it to Yibo, to kiss it, too.
