When Yibo was in the shower in the morning, I dressed Xinxin and asked her why she wanted Yibo to be her dad. If there was any particular reason, why she wanted Yibo to be her dad.
She scratched her head and then said: "When we were in China with grandma and grandpa I overheard them talking. About Daddy and Yibo. They were sad because they were hoping you could see Yibo. They said they wished you two would be a couple. Because they know your heart misses Yibo, and Yibo missed you too. And then I saw grandma and grandpa with Yibo and Yibo cried because he was sad because he loved you so much. And then we met Yibo at the playground and Yibo's eyes were so sad."
"Just because of Yibo and Daddy, you want this? And you've seen Yibo before the playground?"
Xinxin nodded her head violently. "Yibo was very late visiting Grandma and Grandpa, and Yibo was crying. But I didn't get a good look at him. And no Daddy. I love Yibo very much too I want him as my dad. And he fits into our family. Besides, he loves you and he loves me too."
"And it doesn't bother you that Yibo is a man?"
"No, Daddy. You said it doesn't matter who you love as long as you do it with your heart."
Again my daughter amazes me. How can she be so smart at her age? She even kept what I told her. It must have been over half a year ago when I was in the supermarket with Xinxin and we saw two men kissing each other.
Xinxin touched me and asked me why one daddy was kissing the other daddy. And I told her that they loved each other very much. Then she wanted to know if they hadn't found a mommy.
I had to laugh and told her that these two were not looking for a mommy. What she then asked, if not always a daddy and a mommy must be? I told her then, no, it doesn't matter who you're with, the main thing is that you love each other.
And Xinxin said, "My daddy loves Yibo and Yibo loves my daddy. So it's perfect. And Yibo is a good dad. I have two daddies now, just like Jonah. It's so great."
She jumped and giggled and when Yibo appeared in the doorway, she jumped into his arms and gave him a kiss on the cheek. You can see how much she loves Yibo and that after only a few days.
I think she feels the same as I did when I went to the elementary school and met Yibo. Even though he was cold and distant, didn't want to have anything to do with anyone or talk to anyone, I felt there was much more in him.
And my feeling was confirmed. Because there is so much more love, passion and devotion in Yibo as in many other people. He just doesn't like to show it. He's always been afraid of getting hurt.
After breakfast, my in-laws came to pick up Xinxin. At first she didn't want to go, but as soon as she heard that she was going to the farm, she was unstoppable.
Now Yibo and I have a weekend for us and I don't know yet what we want to do. Maybe we should go out or go to the beach. The weather is perfect for the beach.
However, it will be well attended, which is not so great for Yibo. Since he doesn't like such a busy place with so many people. But maybe we should just stay at home and make ourselves comfortable here.
Maybe we can then also clarify how to continue after his visit here with us. He clearly said that he wants to move here, but of course that is not possible from one day to the next. And the question remains open, whether he wants to move to us or look for something of his own.
"My ZhanZhan, what are you thinking about?" Ask me Yibo and pull me out of my thoughts. He hugs me from behind and his chin rests on my shoulder. I turn my head a little towards him and he gives me a kiss on the cheek.
"We have a weekend for two ahead of us. Would you like to do something?"
"I would like to stay here with you, alone. We could have a barbecue, sit in your yard, cuddle and talk."
"Talk? Talk about anything in particular?"
"Yes."
" And what's that?"
"Well, I have to go back to Beijing in a few days to prepare for my move. I don't have much, so it'll go pretty fast. And the company where I work can arrange my transfer within two days. The question that remains is, will you let me stay here with you? I could probably stay in a corporate apartment. But honestly, I'd rather be here with you and Xinxin."
"Very funny. I was just wondering about the same thing. Whether you'd like to live here or get your own place."
"I want to stay with you. But only if you agree."
"Um, yeah. I think so. We've known each other for so long and we're a couple now, so sure, I'd love to, and Xinxin certainly would."
"Thank you my ZhanZhan. I am looking forward to the fact that we will soon live together as a family. I think when I return to Beijing, I should have everything settled within a week and then come back here."
"Do you really think it's that fast?"
"I hope so. I don't even want to think about not seeing you for a few days. I'll miss you both very much."
"We you too Yibo. Especially Xinxin. After all, you are her dad now."
"Somehow, I'm really proud of this, you know. I always thought I'd never be able to have a child. But now, with you and Xinxin, a dream that I never dared to dream comes true."
I turn to Yibo and hug him. He has changed a lot since then, and yet he hasn't. Now he speaks openly about the things that bother him, which he had never done before. And he stands by his feelings. And yet he is still the same. I cannot describe it in words, I only know that he is still my Yibo from back then.
"We could go to bed for another hour or two, then get up very cozily and then go to the supermarket, do some shopping and have a bite to eat. And then we'll have a barbecue later."
"This is an excellent suggestion. However, I hope we won't sleep in bed. You know, we're alone and we have seven years to catch up on." Said Yibo laughing and carries me upstairs into the bedroom.
I still don't know if this will last with us, but I firmly believe in it and hope it will. Because I don't want to lose Yibo a second time. And I am ready to fight for it if I have to. I'm not going to give up again and hold on to him.
Not just for me, but for Xinxin and for Yibo. I don't want anything to come between us again. I love Yibo, I always have, even when I met Emma, even when I hid this love for him deep inside of me.
In just those few days with him, I realized one thing. No matter what else life has in store for me, I hope that Yibo will be a part of it. And that now, that we are finally together, nothing can keep us apart.
