-16- Family excursion

Yibo hasn't lived with my parents for a few years, I think he said something about two years, but they are still in close contact with each other. So I wasn't surprised when my mother called me and wanted to know how the things are going between Yibo and me.

But since I had not even been in a relationship with him for twenty-four hours at that time, I didn't answer her question. How could I? Not that much has happened in those hours.

And because I didn't want to answer her question, she called Yibo shortly afterwards, who had given her a long and detailed explanation of the last twenty-four hours, or rather, since he landed in California.

I could well imagine my mother sitting on the phone with her tea and some cookies, listening to everything as if she was listening to an audio book or something. And Xinxin was playing along.

Yibo just told her everything and Xinxin shouted out loud: "Grandma, I have a daddy and a dad now. Grandma, Yibo is my dad now." Um, yeah, I think my mom's probably gonna call me and scold me again. Because the way they talk to my mother on the phone and the way they carry out everything sounds like a big exciting story.

After a two and a half hour long and very detailed conversation with my mother, during which I first noticed that Yibo calls her mom as well, the babble bags finally came to an end and said goodbye.

My parents-in-law were already leaving when my mother first called me. We still agreed that they can take Xinxin with them again on the weekend, because they want to go pony riding with her. Or as Xinxin calls it "The Unicorn without a Horn"

Because this really pretty pony is snow white. And it belongs to Xinxin. My in-laws bought it for her a year ago. He lives with relatives on their farm and is well looked after by them. And every two weeks my parents-in-law pick up Xinxin and take her to the countryside where she can ride, cuddle the goats, feed the bunnies and romp around without hesitation.

I already have a plan for today. Yibo is in California for the first time and I want to show him a little bit how and where I spent my last years. That is better than just sitting at home and doing nothing.

After the three of us had dressed, we went outside to the car and first drove to university where I studied for four years and met Emma. We met one of my former professors who recognized me immediately. Even though he sees so many new faces every year.

On a bulletin board there are even pictures of me and my friends working on a project. And next to me in the picture is Emma. Xinxin shouted out loud, "That's my mommy."

Yibo looks thoughtfully at the picture and then looks at me with a look that I somehow can't describe. "I never thought you would be with a woman." He said, and maybe it's a little pain that I see in his eyes.

"It's not like I fell in love with her on purpose." More pain in his eyes. I should probably postpone these talks until after he and I have been together for more than a day.

Of course Yibo is aware that Xinxin didn't just fall out of the sky. But seeing pictures of Emma and me seems to hurt him. I should pay more attention to his feelings. After all, he only knows I was married to Emma for three or four days.

After college, we went to Xinxin's favorite place. The park! There's nothing special about this park and it's hardly different from other simple parks. Except for one thing. Xinxin's best friend from kindergarten plays there every day.

She and Yuan get along super well and Xinxin is already planning her wedding with him. She told me that a good wedding must be prepared long and well. She learned that from TV. Apparently from some show that her grandma watches.

Yibo and I sit down on the bench and Xinxin sits in our midst, the two of them eat an ice cream and I eat a pancake. Unlike in China, we can sit together here and spend time together like a real family.

One more reason for me to stay here and to be able to show my relationship in public. To be able to walk hand in hand with Yibo through this park without fear of being attacked.

When Yuan and his two mothers finally appear, Xinxin jumps up from the bench and takes Yibo with her. "Come with me Dad, I want you to meet my Yuan. I will marry him when I grow up." She explains it to him as she drags him along behind her.

Yuan's mothers greet me with a hug and see me with eyes wide open as Xinxin tells them that Yibo is now her dad. Yibo smiles happily and Sue, Yuan's biological mother, laughs.

"A Zhan, it seems to me you have a lot to tell us." Says Sue and puts her hands on her hips.

"Ah, haha. I guess this can wait." Says me and Yibo looks at me questioningly. "Or do you want to tell?" And yes, Yibo wants to tell it.

In a good English he explains to them in every detail who he is, where we know each other from, since when he has feelings for me, what happened after our night in the tent, how he finally saw me again after seven years and was shocked to find out that his ZhanZhan, was married to a woman and has a child with her and how he came here, told me about that time and Xinxin was the matchmaker for us.

"Awwww, that's so sweet. And now you're having a family excursion?" Does Amelie, the second mama of Yuan want to know.

Yibo proudly nods his head and puts his arm around my waist. Xinxin calls happily from the playground. "This is so great. Yuan has two moms and I have two dads."

During a short game and drinking break the also three year old Yuan talks to Yibo. "You must take good care of my Xinxin. And her daddy. And you must come to play with me often."

"I will." Says Yibo briefly, who now has two children sitting on his lap. But the Xinxin seems to bother about it a bit. Because she clings to Yibo's neck like a little monkey.

And I have already guessed it. Only five minutes later, Xinxin starts scolding that Yibo is her dad and that he is still new, so she has to spend some time alone with him before other children can play with him or sit on his lap.

Once again I try to explain to her that Yibo is not her property and she can share him for a few minutes. But she only shakes her head and kicks Yuan against his shoes.

After the game date we went to Subway and had something to eat first. I am surprised how fast the day went by, because it is already evening. And we had only been at the university and in the park.

Arriving home Yibo and I bathed the tired Xinxin. Because it felt as if she had the half sandbox on her head and body, all her protest against the bathing didn't help.

As soon as we dried Xinxin and blow-dried her hair, we put her to bed. It didn't take her five minutes to fall asleep deeply and firmly and to snore softly.

We quietly sneaked out of her room, closed her door and Yibo held me tight by hugging me from behind. " Shall we take a shower together ZhanZhan?" He whispers in my ear, turns me around and kisses me.
