When I woke up in the morning and looked at Zhan, I first really realized that my Zhan is actually also my favorite author. He is the author Wei Ying. My absolute dream to meet him not only came true, it was even surpassed. Because Wei Ying and I are a couple. He loves me and I love him.

And suddenly I felt like I couldn't breathe, Zhan woke up and said I was hyperventilating. He ran to the kitchen and came back with a paper bag that I had to breathe into. "Breathe easy my cutie." Zhan kept saying as he stroked my back.

As it slowly got better and I calmed down, tears started to come. I don't know why I suddenly started crying. Maybe just because I had suddenly been so overwhelmed by my own feelings. I was in Zhan's arms and kept asking him, "You're really the author?"

I slowly regained my balance, and Zhan said it could be that it was shock that was just now really setting in. But he wasn't sure either. He was just glad that I was feeling better.

Still, Zhan had forbidden me to leave the bed. He brought me tea and late breakfast upstairs at the bedside and I should stay and rest. I kept reading the book and could hardly concentrate on it because I kept thinking, Insane my boyfriend is the author Wei Ying. How could I not notice that even though he was already giving me clues?

Zhan laid down with me and I asked him, "Did you know it was me writing with you?"

"Mhhh, at first I suspected it. But then, of course, it was absolutely clear. After you confirmed being my fan and writing with me."

"I see. You know, I can understand why you didn't tell me from the beginning. You want your true identity to remain a secret, and you can't just tell everyone who you are."

"Well, except for Cheng, Yanli and the publisher, no one else knew the truth before. Now you and your brother know it too. Well, soon your best friend and his partner will too. But I think if you trust them, then I can trust them too."

"And you and your grandma made up this fantasy world?"

"That's right. When I was very little, I often had nightmares. Then my grandma laid down next to me and we talked about a world we made up. We fantasized quite a few stories together about this world and at some point she told me to promise her that I would write books about it. She even demanded that it would be more than one book."

"And fantasy land, after all, is very different now. So it has nothing to do with fantasy world, does it?"

"No, the books have nothing to do with each other at all."

"And I really get to read your books first in the future? Even before your publisher?"

"Yes. I hope you'll give me your honest opinion then."

"I will do that. I promise!"

"All right, then. Do you need anything else?"

I snuggled up to Zhan and said, "No, I have everything I ever wanted. I'm absolutely happy and content."

"And how do you think the night was for your brother?"

"Haha, I think they both were still lying awake for a long time. If you know what I mean."

"Mhm, I know what you mean. They both looked overjoyed yesterday."

"Yeah, I thought so too. I still can't believe my brother is in love with your cousin. I mean, that they even knew each other. I didn't expect it at all."

"Well my cutie, neither of us expected that. Cheng had never said what his name was or how far they were. He just said he was in love with a man five years older than him and that he was waiting for him."

"It seems the wait was worth it. Now they can finally be together."

We talked for a while more about my brother and Cheng, but also about Yanli who thinks already in the coming days she will give birth to her child. Zhan said she also knew then with A-Jing. I'm really excited about it. I'm kind of looking forward to the baby.

I wonder if Zhan and I might have a child later on. Like through adoption maybe. But it's still way too early to think about something like that. And I want to enjoy my time alone with Zhan as long as possible. With a child there will be a lot of responsibility and we won't be able to stay in bed and just cuddle like we do now.

Anyway, I shouldn't even think about it yet, and I don't want to have a child yet anyway.

Zhan and I fell asleep at some point while cuddling. Only around 5 pm we are awake again. We decided to order something to eat and spend the rest of the day in bed. Just do nothing at all. Tomorrow we have to work again. So we can relax and do nothing for a day, before it goes on with our normal everyday life again.

I'm curious if the boss really fired this Wei Yin. I think he did, though. He wouldn't say that unless he really meant it.

Around 9 pm, Zhan and I were about to take a bath together, my brother called me and said our mother contacted him. Our father is in the hospital because he had a heart attack.

Zhan and I got dressed immediately and we met at the hospital with my brother and Cheng. I then went upstairs to the station with my brother. Zhan and Cheng had to wait downstairs because visiting hours had already ended and only family members were allowed upstairs.

We thought that with our mother's call, maybe this was a step in the direction of being able to be a family again. But as soon as we arrived upstairs and our mother was waiting for us in the visiting room with a grim look on her face, it was clear that she did not want reconciliation.

"How long were you going to keep me waiting? I've been sitting here for half an eternity." She immediately grumbled.

"Well, we're here now." Replied my brother. I just kept silent.

"I won't beat around the bush. Your father needs an surgery that is not covered by his insurance. He and I can't pay for it on our own. So it's your responsibility as children to support us." She said.

I really had to laugh and replied, "Tell me, doesn't the vapor from the disinfectant up here affect you? You and Dad said we are not your sons anymore. You kicked us out of the house. In the past seven years you haven't called us once. And now that you need money, you call? And only for the money? What makes you think Hai Kuan or I have that kind of money? Do you think we won the lottery? Or do we get super high salaries in our jobs? Anyway, you won't get any money from me. Because I don't have any."

My brother looked at me in amazement and I couldn't believe how brave I was all of a sudden. Did it help me to be in a relationship with Zhan? Does it make me stronger? More self-confident?

"Well, I don't have any money either. I just moved now and that's where my savings went." Said Hai Kuan.

"So you want to let your father die?"

"Certainly not. Besides, I don't believe you. Dad has a very good health insurance and I don't think they won't pay for a necessary operation. I don't know what you really want money from us for, but since we don't have anything anyway, your attempt was completely wasted and failed." I said.

I know my dad has excellent health insurance, which is super expensive. But it covers just about everything. So I don't believe a word my mother says. And if she does tell the truth, let her prove it.

"Your father will be very disappointed to hear this. That's all I'm going to say."

"Then prove it! Come on, show us the documents that prove that the health insurance won't pay for this operation. Show us proof that you can't afford it! Come on!" I yelled at her. I just hated her at that moment.

And then suddenly Zhan came up to me, put his arms around me and I asked him why he was suddenly up here after all. Zhan kissed my forehead and said, "I just sensed that you were very uncomfortable right now."

My mother stared darkly at Zhan. Zhan smiled and said to me, "Come Yibo, let's go back to our house and then go to sleep soon. We have to get up early again tomorrow."

Obviously, my mother's ears brightened because suddenly she said, "Oh sure, tell me you don't have money, but it's enough for a house then or what?"

Zhan smiled at her and replied, "I bought the house and Yibo moved in with me. And since we plan to get married in the future and already discuss and share everything with each other, Yibo won't decide alone anyway. Probably he would have talked to me afterwards and we would have tried to find a solution together. But I think you only care about the money and how your sons are doing, you don't care at all. And that's why I agree with Yibo and say that from us there gives nothing."

My mother was speechless for a moment, searching for words to say to Zhan. But, she couldn't find any words. Instead, my brother said, "You know, Mother, I think it's better if we never see or speak to each other again. As parents, you never loved us anyway and even hated us just because we like men. You with your dusty thinking still haven't understood that love is just love, no matter who you love. Look at Yibo. Since he has been with Zhan, he is no longer shy and blossoms more every day. He smiled every day and is incredibly happy. If you really loved him as a mother, you could rejoice with him. Look at the development he has made. And that after he was away from you. You made him who he was. And thanks to Zhan, he's really blossoming now. He was never shy, just terrified of you. And now? Now he can even stand up against you."

Zhan put an arm around me, stroked my cheek and said, "Shall we go home?" I nodded. I took Zhan's hand and reminded my mother to bring me proof that the health insurance didn't pay and that she didn't need to contact me otherwise.

Then the three of us went downstairs and I hugged my brother again before we each went back to our homes. I was impressed with what my brother said about me. And yes, he's right. Since I've been with Zhan, I feel stronger and much more confident. I am no longer shy, but openly approach others, like with Zhan's work colleagues, or Yanli and Cheng.

When we got home, we went to take a shower together because it was too late for the bathtub. I took a close look at the naked Zhan again, like the first time we bathed together. And I really find him crazy sexy, my boyfriend, future husband and favorite author.

In bed, I snuggled up to him as usual, kissed him and whispered, "I still think I want you to sleep with me. And from today on, I think coincidence should decide when the time comes."

"Are you really sure?"

"Yes Hubby. I'm absolutely sure. If it's meant to happen, it will happen. We're not forcing anything and we're not holding it back either though. Okay?"

"Mmm, okay my cutie. You're in charge of this. I'm totally following your lead on that."

"Thanks Hubby. I love you."

"I love you too my cutie."

We wished each other a good night and sweet dreams and soon fell asleep.
