-14- Relationship
Xinxin and Yibo both look at me expectantly and expect an answer from me. I scratch my head and pretend to think. Then my daughter gets up and stands in front of me, she points her finger at me and says: "If you now say no daddy, then I am done with you. I'm moving out!"
And the little one says that in a seriousness that makes me astonished. Yes, she knows exactly what she wants! And she wants Yibo to be her dad. Then what does that make me? Her mother? Oh my God, I really need to stop thinking too much.
"Daddyyyy." cries Xinxin as I drift off into my thought world again.
"Okay, okay. Can Daddy think about it until tomorrow?"
"Uh, no?"
"What no?"
"You need to answer now, Daddy. Come on, come on. Daddy."
"It's all right. Don't rush me."
"Oh, Daddy. How hard can it be to say yes?"
Actually, I should probably scold her for talking to me like that, but her cute voice simply forbids me to record it as evil. And when I look with her sweet face, her forehead wrinkled and trying to look evil, then I can be even less angry with her.
"How about this? We give Yibo a trial period?"
"No. I am against it." Protest Xinxin and crawl on my lap. She puts her hands on my ears and tries to move my head up and down. As if I was nodding.
"Xinxin"? Do you really wish for it?" I ask her, while she still holds her hands firmly against my ears and tries to force me to nod.
"Yes, Daddy."
"And Yibo? Are you really serious? Because once Xinxin lets you into her life, you can't just dump her when you don't feel like it anymore. You must be there for her at all times."
"ZhanZhan, I am aware of this and I am absolutely willing to be a good dad to your daughter. And also a good boyfriend to you."
"Then I'm willing to give it a chance." I said, and I suddenly have two people beaming with joy to hold me tightly in their arms.
I still don't know if this is really a good idea to get involved with Yibo so quickly after all these years without contact. But I trust my daughter and her instincts. Children sense whether someone is good or not.
And as I mentioned before, towards a stranger adult, she has never been so open towards someone from the beginning.
And after all, I always wished that Yibo and I could come together.
Maybe it will go bad. Maybe too many years have passed and too much has changed. But if I go deep inside myself and just listen to what my heart tells me, then I am doing the right thing.
I give Yibo and me a chance and maybe this relationship is under a good star and we will be happy. Just like I always dreamed of and as I learned today, so did he.
"Xinxin, but now you really should sleep. It's very late, and little princesses need a lot of sleep to become tall and strong."
"Okay, Daddy. I'm gonna go to sleep now. But you can definitely say you guys want to kiss."
Yibo puts his hand in front of his mouth and starts laughing while I have bright red cheeks and would like to sink into the ground.
I clear my throat and get up from the sofa to bring Xinxin back up to her bed. "Yibo Dad are you taking me to bed?"
Proudly Yibo nods and carries Xinxin upwards. He puts her to bed, covers her properly and wishes her a good night. I have the impression that the new dad enjoys it, because he smiles all the time.
