-10- Call from Beijing

-10- Call from Beijing

After the breakfast Xinxin ran back to her room. She wanted to make new business cards, because the last one she had given to Yibo.

I sat alone in the kitchen after I cleared everything and did the dishes and thought about my dream from last night. I had already completely forgotten that time.

Today, so many years later, I ask myself why I forced Yibo to meet these girls. It was obvious even then that he didn't want that and only went on those dates because of me.

Afterwards, after he and I reconciled, I learned from the girls that he had picked them up. But he told them right at the beginning that he only did it because of me and that they shouldn't get their hopes raised.

The dates were boring in their eyes and they felt uncomfortable because Yibo neither paid attention to them nor responded to any of their questions. Cold and unfriendly as everyone knew him.

But because the girls were angry with him for his behavior towards them, they spread rumors to take revenge on him. But they didn't think that other girls would then join in and spread lies and rumors as well.

When I heard this, I was really angry. My sister Yanli had told me that I had no right to make dates clear for Yibo and that I should apologize. But I was very stubborn at that time and wanted to prevent Yibo from realizing how I felt about him at all costs.

But after our reconciliation, I apologized to him and had to swear to him that I would never push him to go on dates with girls again. He told me once again very clearly that he was not interested in dating girls.

Just as I was about to go to Xinxin, my phone rang. An unlisted number from Beijing. I answered the call, it was Yibo.

"ZhanZhan, I've had some vacation time. I could get on the next plane. Is that okay?" He wanted to know.

"Uh, yeah, sure." I replied and gave him my address here in California. I knew it wouldn't take long for him to get in touch, but I didn't think it would be so fast.

I ran to Xinxin and told her that Yibo called and would come to visit us. She jumped up and cheered. "I like him." She said and then scratched her chin as if she had to think about something.

"I have to keep writing cards, Daddy. Get out of here." She said to me and sent me outside. And since I don't want to interrupt her hard work, I give in and leave.

With big steps I went to the guest room, next to my bedroom and shook my head. I had completely forgotten that I had used this room more as a storage room.

There was still a lot of work ahead of me. Fortunately such a flight takes time and I still have some time.

After four hours of tidying and cleaning the room, I got Xinxin from her room. She had fallen asleep again during her hard work. I drove with her to the shopping center.

Because I found out that I need bedding for Yibo, as well as bed sheets. Besides, we can do our shopping and have a snack for lunch.

In the bed house, I looked for blankets and bed sheets together and Xinxin also brought me new sheets that she wanted for herself. Isn't that clear? Pink and with unicorns on it. She said that she had always wanted them. And since I can't refuse her a wish, I buy her the sheets she has always wanted.

I also called my supervisor and asked him if I could take a few more days off. And although it was short term, my boss agreed and wished me a relaxing holiday. Whether it will be so relaxing remains to be seen.

Xinxin and I have changed her bedding at home and she can't wait until she can go to sleep. Afterwards I changed the new bedding for Yibo and was finally done with the guest room.

Tired I went to the kitchen and prepared dinner. Only a fresh salad and two sandwiches, which Xinxin wanted.

When I went to bed, also with a new bed sheet, I nervously thought of Yibo's visit. I set an extra alarm clock so we could pick him up from the airport. Yibo had informed me once again when he would land here.

The alarm clock hadn't even rung when Xinxin came into my bedroom and woke me up. "Daddy get up. We have to pick up Yibo. Come on, get up!" Called she and shaking me.

To tease the little one, I crawled very slowly out of my bed and walked out of the bedroom as slowly as I could. Xinxin pushed me from behind and called me a lame grandpa.

" Go Daddy, go on now. Let's go. Yibo is waiting." I tried to make her understand that Yibo is still in the air and has not yet landed. But she didn't care. She dashed to her room, put on two different pairs of socks. Her new sweater with Hello Kitty on it and her favorite skirt. She combed her hair with her hands and made herself a crooked braid. I had to laugh really hard when she told me she was done.

I quickly washed my daughter, brushed her teeth and then put on her a pink pantyhose, her new sweater and the new skirt she always wanted to have, by the way. After I made her two plaits, I took care of myself.

When we were ready to go out and had at least eaten something, my alarm clock rang. Xinxin was already at the door and didn't want to wait a minute longer. So what could I do? I put her in the car and we left for the airport an hour and a half earlier.

As soon as I started the engine and drove off, Xinxin's eyes closed and she was asleep again. I took the long way to the airport and tried to get a grip on my own nervousness a bit.

Meeting Yibo in Beijing and spending time with him unintentionally awakened not only the old memories of him but also the feelings for him. I have no idea how I can have him at my home for ten days without letting him realize how I feel.

An hour after we left our home, I reached the airport and carefully woke Xinxin. As usual, she was as lively as ever and laughed. She straightened her clothes and played a young fine lady.

Hand in hand we entered the airport waiting area and sat down on a bench. Xinxin sat upright next to me and grinned the whole time. "Daddy, I'm happy." She says and giggles.
