Zhan was waiting for Yibo at the car, nervously rubbing his hands but he couldn't hold laughter when saw Yibo dressed in the black suit, looking all official

"Are you going to business meeting?"

"Stop teasing me gege, it's the first time i'm meeting your parents, want to look good and leave nice impression"

"Good? You always look perfect, especially under me"

"Pervert" pouted Yibo

"Puppy" Zhan moved closer and softly kissed his lips "change into something comfy ok? We're going to the villa they usually stay during weekends, this outfit isn't suitable"

"Ok, wait for me" Yibo ran to his house, Zhan sighed "hope they can see how priceless and adorable you're.

"tell me more about your parents" said Yibo after they started driving. he was wearing simple write shirt and jeans now.

"mom is very beautiful, think i resemble her"

"Narcissus" mumbled Yibo

"why? am i wrong?" laughed Zhan "she is quite soft and has great taste, Yanli was always dressed like doll thanks to her beautiful designed clothes. sadly as usually happens in rich families they're thinking giving gifts to us could compensate the time spent without them, but we're feeling lonely. always thinking mom was cold towards me i remember one night when realized i was so wrong. it was my birthday and she couldn't come cause of fashion show, being too hurt i went to bed very early but couldn't sleep sobbing my heart out. it was already midnight when she came in my room and sat next to me. thinking i was asleep she covered my face with nonstop kisses and feeling wetness on my cheeks guess she was crying "happy birthday my sweet boy, mom loves you too much" listening this words made my heart full of happiness. after that i never dared doubting her love" Zhan stopped taking deep breath. Yibo leaned closer and kissed his cheek, tightly holding his hand

"some people just can't express love, they're feeling for someone. i understand you, wish after today your relationship becomes better. your dad?"

"he is strict and always was. man who lives with rules of nation and is closed for everything different. he is caring and hardworking for his family but unshakable when it comes to his principles. i know mom will give us permission easily but dad i don't think so"

"we can do it" smiled Yibo "together we can succeed in everything"

"true my love, we can do it"

reaching the huge, beautiful villa surrounding by all green Yibo's eyes widened in surprise and adoration "such a nice place"

"mn, i loved playing here with Yanli, the house is too big sometimes we couldn't find each-other. puppy are you ready?"

"i think so, they won't kill us no?"

"silly" Zhan laughed at him and rang the bell, soon the door opened and tall elegant lady welcomed them, seeing Zhan her face brightened  and hugged him tightly, unable to hold her tears "my little boy i missed you so much, look you made me too emotional"

"how have you been mom?" asked Zhan with sweet voice

"i'm fine, what about Yanli? didn't she come with you?"

"actually i have something important to talk to you about" Zhan looked at Yibo who was standing with lowered head and shaking like leaf. he joined their fingers and pulled him closer.

"i can see that" sudden cold voice made them all startled

"So you came with friend" awkwardly smiled ms Xiao and looked at her husband who was glaring at their holding hands

"Dad" Zhan shook a little but feeling Yibo's tightened grasp on his hand he braved himself "he is way too more than friend, Yibo is my ... Fiance"

"I just realized we're still standing outside, here come in" doesn't letting others to say something she stood between Zhan and Yibo and leaded them in the living room.

"We need to talk Zhan" Mr Xiao eyed Yibo, who looked like scared puppy and added "only two of us"

Yibo nodded at Zhan and tried to smile, Zhan sighed and followed his dad.

"Thought you changed and became normal" coldly said him after closing the door

"I was always normal dad"

"You know what i mean"

"Yes i know and still i'm, we just have different definition of this word. I love him and he loves me too. This is totally normal"

"Zhan" Mr Xiao raised his tone "why the hell can't you live like others?"

"How dad?" Zhan was on the edge of patience too but managed to stay still "get married to woman? Have kids? So what? I can never love her, i can never make her and myself happy, our kids? They have to grow in the family, where there is no love. What is the results of living like others? Destroying my life? Sorry but i can't do that. Even i have to fight against the whole world cause of Yibo i'll still never give up on him"

"Yes maybe you're right but it'll be very hard son"

"Life is never easy dad" Zhan moved closer to him and hesitantly placed hand on his shoulder "look at me, i'm not kid but experienced man already, who went through many hardships. I'll marry him anyway but without you and mom there" Zhan stopped and breathed out "i want you to bless me, i don't want to lose you. please dad try to understand me and know Yibo better too. he is the only one who can make me happy"

"I'll think" his voice was very low but these words made Zhan's heart full of hope, he smiled and feeling strong missing tightly hugged his father "thanks dad, thanks for listening to me"

*****

Yibo was standing at the kitchen door and watching Ms Xiao who was busy with cooking "come here dear" noticing Yibo's worrying face she sweetly smiled "are you good at cooking?"

"Actually we can't get along" shyly smiled Yibo "me and cooking, i burn food or myself. But gege is great cook"

"Yes, he was interested almost in everything since childhood, very clever and talented boy and ..." She smiled at Yibo and caressed his face "very beautiful with wide shining eyes, you two both look very cute"

"Thanks" Yibo nodded to him but suddenly his face changed and quickly held her hand

"What happened?" She was startled

"Nut, Zhan is allergic"

"Oh dear, it's so long time he didn't visit us i got used using nut in cake. Thank you so much Yibo, see you know everything about my son"

"Mn, i was..." Yibo blushed "i was stalking him for a long time, and receiving information from Yanli too"

"Are you close with her"

"Yes we're friends"

"This is good, but about stalking i don't think Zhan is someone you can secretly watch"

"What do you mean?"

"Sorry Yibo but he is too careful and sharp-eyed, no way Zhan didn't know"

"Are you talking about me?" Yibo couldn't think much as Zhan entered the room and smiled at him signing everything was ok

"Yibo is very cute son, don't wonder why you're in love"

"I know" Zhan hugged Yibo from behind "he is best baby, thanks mom for taking care of him while i was talking with dad"

"my pleasure dear"

everyone was quiet at the table as Mr Xiao kept glaring at Zhan and Yibo, who were sitting next to each-other, looking like punished kids

"what are your parents doing?" finally voice was heard in the room, wondering if the question was for him Yibo shyly asked "my parents sir?"

"if not yours then whose? surprisingly i know what me and my wife doing"

Zhan chuckled and moved closer to Yibo, whispering at him "dad has overly weird humour, don't mind it"

"i can hear you Zhan"

"they ran pharmaceutical business" Yibo finally managed to talk

"good, what about you?"

"i... i'm studying management and..."

"he is dancer, very talented one" Zhan cut Yibo "Yibo is best trainee in my company and future shining idol"

"gege" Yibo pat his shoulder and blushed "i know you think i'm still kid but my love is very strong for your son sir, promise i'll make him very happy"

"are you brave enough to fight for him?"

"i'm" 

"mn, let's eat" mumbled Mr Xiao

"your fave son ... gege" Yibo and ms Xiao both took fish piece and placed it on Zhan's plate, he smiled and pointed something to Yibo, the latter one hesitantly took spicy dish and handled it to Mr Xiao "gege said you love this, please enjoy dad"

"thank you" Yibo's face brightened with joy, noticing little smile on Zhan's dad face, he wasn't stranger here anymore. although kinda heavy atmosphere he was sure that everything gonna be ok"

*****

"were you sleeping here?" Yibo looked around after entering quite large beautiful bedroom

"right, everything is same as before, i really missed this house" Zhan was touching his childhood things when heard Yibo's laughter, noticing photo in his hand he quickly walked towards Yibo "what is that?"

"how cute, baby gege taking bath" giggled Yibo and started running in the room as Zhan tried to took pic from him "you're so tiny, cute cute"

"Yibo stop teasing me, why the hell is this pic here? hey don't look, it's embarrassing" finally Zhan caught Yibo and both fell on the bed "naughty one" laughed Zhan and caressed Yibo's face, planting soft kisses on it, suddenly remembering something Yibo's face became serious

"gege i want to ask you something"

"what is it?"

"your mom tell me something i can't stop thinking about, by any chance did you really know that i was.."

"what?"

"stalking you"

Zhan choked and tried to turn back hiding his red face "you knew" cried out Yibo "you're so evil gege, you knew i loved you and about all our plans too?" he started nonstop hitting Zhan's chest with fists, acting like angry baby "this is too embarrassing, how could you do that?"

"so what? it was funny and i sacrificed some things too" Zhan caught his hands "i loved walking totally naked in my room but cause of protecting your innocence i couldn't do that anymore"

"you're teasing me again no?"

"i'm sorry puppy ok? let gege pay for his wrong doings. you can hit me as much you want" but not giving Yibo any chance Zhan started tickling his stomach, Yibo unable to hold himself started giggling nonstop, trembling under Zhan's body, taking breath he cried out "stop it, your parents will hear, what are they going to think?"

"at least we aren't moaning no?" smirked Zhan

"can you be serious?" scolded Yibo

"i was very serious today" noticing sudden sadness in Zhan's eyes Yibo caressed his face and asked with soft voice "it was hard no? talking with your dad. do you need comfort?"

"i do" suddenly pouting cutely Zhan cuddled himself in Yibo's chest and whispered "little Zhanzhan needs petting"

feeling his heart going to melt, Yibo tightly held Zhan and kissed his hair "i love when you show your cuteness and weakness to me lil gege, back then when you're sick was first time i saw cute side of yours and i loved it, don't try to be always strong and cool i love every side of yours, i just love the way you're"

bringing Yibo's palm to his lips, Zhan softly kissed it and made him lay down too "ok i'll let you to take care about me like baby, sweet dreams puppy" whispered him

"sweet dreams Zhanzhan"

*****

after spending few days at the villa it was time for goodbye. being cutie pie as always Yibo managed to melt dad's heart a little, showing too much love towards Zhan was his main tactic and it worked.  leading them to the entrance door, Ms Xiao handled big bad to Yibo, full with her cooked meal "eat well my lil boy, i didn't add spice but try to get use to it, cause my son is crazy about it"

"i'll mom" shyly smiled Yibo and hugged her "thanks for your sweet welcome, i enjoyed staying here"

"my pleasure dear"

"i'll send you date of our wedding, hope you attend it" Zhan bowed to his parents and held Yibo's hand going to leave, but dad's voice stopped them

"be careful on your way" Mr Xiao gently patted Zhan's shoulder and turned to Yibo "thanks for loving my son" feeling his hand caressing his head, Yibo's eyes became tearing, he smiled widely and bowed "thanks for approving me dad"

waving their hands before getting in the car, Zhan sighed from relief and winked at Yibo "we did it my love"

"we did it gege"
