Chapter 12. Zhan's mother...

When Zhan finally came home two days later, he was not alone. He brought his mother with him. Yibo had met her a few months ago and she also knows that her son is together with Yibo.

Yibo liked to call Zhan's mother miraculous. An already older but very dear and friendly lady who liked to wonder about all sorts of things. So he had got to know her and somehow also learned to love her.

"Oh my boy, there you are. I was so worried because you weren't there when Zhan came to see me." She said and stormed towards Yibo with her short legs to take him in her arms.

"Hey, yeah I'm sorry. I'll definitely be there next time." Replied Yibo and hugged the old lady.

Zhan's mother had unexpectedly become pregnant again at the age of forty-two and although she was advised to have an abortion, she remained stubborn and wanted this baby so badly. And it had been well worth being so stubborn. Because it soon turned out that her son was particularly gifted, especially in writing.

When Zhan confessed that he was gay, she took him in her arms, laughed and told him to find her a good son-in-law. That's what she told Yibo when she first met Yibo. And she said she thought Yibo could finally be the son-in-law she had been waiting for, for so long.

Zhan's mother took out a can of food from her huge bag and held it under Yibo's nose. "This is for you to stay healthy and strong." She said and patted his arm.

"ZhanZhan, my son-in-law looks even better than last time. Just make sure nobody comes and tries to steal him away." She said, threatening with her fist.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll take care of it." Zhan replied and giggled.

"You must take good care of him and always make sure he eats and drinks enough. And that he goes to the doctor regularly and gets checked up. And don't forget that every half year he has to go to the dentist." Listed Zhan's mother.

"Mom, I know all this and so does Yibo. Don't worry, he's a grown man, not a child." Zhan replied and almost caught himself a kick from his mother.

"Don't be naughty, son. Remember, you are the man of the house and if your partner is happy, so are you! So make your partner happy and make sure he stays healthy." Scolded she.

"I'm fine, Mrs. Xiao." Explained Yibo and caught a punch on his upper arm.

"I told you loud and clear I want you to call me Mom!" She bitched.

Yibo looked to Zhan for help, but he just shrugged his shoulders and laughed. "You heard her, call her Mom. or she'll just hit you again." He said, giggling.

"Okay, Mom, how about I cook us some dinner? You must be hungry, right?" Asked Yibo and put his arm on her shoulder.

"You got it!" She said and grabbed Yibo's hand with her little hand and pulled him behind her.

Yibo and Zhan's mother stood together in the kitchen and cooked together. This was a special moment for Yibo. Because with his mother he had never been able to have that before, and at some point his grandmother left the cooking to Yibo. Since she herself could no longer do as she wanted.

But now he had found in Zhan's mother a woman who did this together with him and even taught him something else. He really liked this wondrous woman very much.

"Well, boys, I'm old and I need a lot of sleep. So now I'm going downstairs to the apartment and go to sleep. Yibo, if you need any things, you should go and get them now." She said and Yibo nodded.

Together with Zhan's mother, Yibo went down to the apartment. She sat on the bed and pointed to the seat next to her. Yibo sat down next to her and she took his hand in both her hands.

"I know you both have problems. I can sense it in both of you. Please try to get along. I don't know what happened, although I am old, I realize that you both are not well. So you should talk and get your problems out of the way. My A Zhan can write about anything, but he often finds it difficult to talk about it when something is bothering him. That's why you should listen carefully when he says that everything is fine. Because then it's usually not. He just doesn't know how to say it because he's afraid of hurting the person he loves." She said to Yibo.

Yibo told her all about Seungyoun and she nodded eagerly. "Yes my boy, I think Louis is right. I think he's either after my Zhan or you. But I think he's more likely after Zhan. Be careful and don't tell anyone who Zhan really is anymore." She said to him.

"It's my fault that Zhan is so sad now. I just didn't realize that Seungyoun was really up to something." Yibo replied sadly.

"It's not your fault, my boy. You trusted your best friend and you wanted to help him. He acted to you as if he didn't like A Zhan. Then how could you know that? Don't blame yourself. Talk to Zhan and everything will be fine." She said, kissing Yibo on the cheek.

"Thank you. I'll talk to him right now." He said so.

"You know I thought of you as my son-in-law from day one and I hope that this day will come true. Because I know that you two belong together. I'm convinced that fate has brought you together because you were meant to be." She explained it to Yibo before she got up from bed and went into the living room to get something out of her bag.

She handed Yibo a book. She explained to Yibo that this was the first book that Zhan had written. "Zhan had said that one day he wanted to give it to the person he thought he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. And yesterday he asked me about the book and told me he finally had someone in his life he wanted to give it to." She explained it to Yibo.

Yibo read the title of the book "To My Future Boyfriend" and smiled. He pressed the book firmly to his chest and thanked Zhan's mother. "Zhan asked me to give it to you. And look, he used his real name." She said and pointed to the name of the author.

"I'll take good care of it." Said Yibo proudly.

"It's just a thin book, but it will help you get to know and understand Zhan better. You could say it is like a guide and explanation to " How does Xiao Zhan tick" and in it he describes himself and his first fifteen years of life. How he thinks and how he feels." Said she to Yibo and then sent him upstairs to Zhan.

And when Yibo entered Zhan's apartment and saw Zhan standing in the living room in front of the bookshelf, Yibo ran to him, wrapped his arms around him and gave him a kiss. "I'm so sorry for everything and I promise I won't let myself be blinded again. I love you so much." He said that after he broke off the kiss.
