“That’s not for you, it’s for A-Yuan, you already got your present.
So, what’s your story, missy?”, Zhan smiled, picking up the cat that was keep sniffing at the bag from the table.
“You’re so adorable.”, he giggled, at the purring cat when massaging her crown.

“Not more adorable than you are.
No wonder she fell in love with you at first sight.
Did you know that she doesn’t like strangers?
She has trust issues, probably because of who knows what life she lived before I found her.”, Yibo beamed affectionately at the two adorable kitties from his couch.

“But you said you want to know her story, ahhh.”, he inhaled deeply when reaching out to caress Elsa, and his fingers got entangled in the cat’s fur with Zhan’s fingers.
“Touching you will never stop from giving me breathing problems.
Ermm, so, two years ago, it was the coldest autumn in the last ten years.
The temperature outside had been below freezing for several weeks, already. It was just a miracle that this cat survived.
It was right after renting this apartment, and I was out, celebrating with some friends.
And when I came home, late in the night, I found a frozen kitten on the sidewalk.
First I thought it was dead but then I noticed its paw twitching ever so slightly. I brought it home, gave it a warm bath and slowly elevated the kitten’s temperature.
You will think that it’s bullshit, but I’m sure that speaking to her words of encouragement along the way: “You’re getting there, buddy … you’re getting warmer.”, helped it to bring her back to life.
And after six hours of careful thawing, she was noticeably less stiff.
I decided to name her Elsa, which seems to be the perfect name for the once-frozen kitten.”

Yibo stopped talking when Zhan shouted at him:
“Wang Yibo!”

“What, what?!”, he panicked, along with the scared cat who jumped from Zhan’s lap, on top of the table.

“Wang Yibo, why do you make my life even harder than it is?
Why do you show me again what a wonderful person you are, why do you make me fall in love with you, over and over again?”, Zhan breathed heratically, his shout gradually fading into a strangled wail of pain.

Yibo pulled him into his arms, so tight that their lungs were hardly able to breath, and kissing his hair, he whispered repeatedly:
“I know, I know…”

Elsa jumped to their attention, with her loud scratching, while trying to get inside the bag.

“Elsa, behave!
Oh, my god, what’s this?”, Yibo startled and almost dropped the gift bag to the ground, when two black shiny beads twinkled at him from inside the bag.

Zhan took out from the bag, the small ball of black fluff and placed it into Yibo’s palms:
“Don’t be scared, it’s a harmless pet for A-Yuan, I hope he will like it.
I’m not gonna lie that it was pretty hard to find it.
It took me a whole day to check out all the pet stores from Beijing, but in the end I was lucky to find this little baby crow.
I didn’t give him a name, as it should be A-Yuan’s choice.
Look, how cute he is!
And he is very clever, I have never imagined that crows are such intelligent creatures.”

“I didn’t have enough time to take goodbye from him, how is he doing?”, Zhan murmured.

“Wh…o?”, Yibo stuttered, too distracted by the fingers stroking the bird’s fluffiness that were lingering on his palm in the process.

“A-Yuan, of course. Poor child, what a trauma, to lose both of his parents at once.
I’m sad that I could nothing to do for helping him, but at least I’m peaceful that your family will do anything possible for his recovering and will give him the so needed love.”, Zhan sighed, unconsciously stroking now Yibo’s hand, instead of the bird’s feathers.

“Ah, A-Yuan, you shouldn’t worry about him, he is well taken care of…
And…
I’m sad too, that your offer for helping him couldn’t be anything else but a fantasy.
A beautiful fantasy, nevertheless…
I mean, how did it even cross your mind such a craziness, for us to become A-Yuan’s parents together, as…as husbands?
I remember those people’s reactions, haha!
My goodness, I thought they would all die of stroke or something.
But, by the way, thank you for what you did there.
Actually, thank you for everything.
Especially, thank you for forgiving me.
I will never forget you, I will never stop from loving you, I’m sorry, but I just can’t!”, Yibo eventually started to cry, even though he tried so hard not to.

Zhan’s tears started to run down his cheeks as well, but he put the bird into its cage and took Yibo’s face into his palms:
“Of course that I forgave you, my heart loves you too much for caring about some stupid lies.
And that idea was nothing close to a fantasy, I was being serious when talking about us becoming husbands.
I was about to propose to you that day, I have even bought the rings.
Please, my love, don’t cry.
Yes, my love, I’ll take the liberty to keep calling like that, as long as things are not yet a hundred percent clear.
I love you, I have never stopped from loving you.
Oh god, I want so bad to kiss you right now, but I will refrain myself, at least until…”

“What do you mean, that things are not yet a hundred percent clear?
Lao Lao doesn’t want to tell me anything, but I remember her saying that she is a hundred percent sure!”, Yibo took the other’s hands away from his face and interlaced their fingers together.

“Your Lao Lao forced me to swear on your life that I will not tell you what she has told me, but one thing I can do, because I didn’t promise her that I will not investigate.
I was telling you that I didn’t have time to take goodbye from A-Yuan, that’s because I was busy with finding the best investigation clinique from Beijing, also busy with making my tests.
Here is the clinique’s address. You have an appointment tomorrow morning at 8AM.”

“Tests?
You mean, DNA tests?
That means that…”, Yibo stuttered.

“We shouldn’t keep our hopes too high, but as I’ve been telling you, it’s nothing one hundred percent sure.
The tests will give us the final answer.
Now, I really need to go, I must catch that flight, it’s very important.”

“Wait!
Before you go, I really need to…
In order to survive…
Please, allow me to lie one last time, to lie to you and to myself, that we are not blood related, that all of this is just a stupid nightmare, that we are still happy and allowed to be in love with each other…
Just a slight lip touch…it’s not even counted as a kiss…”, Yibo spoke in a voice strangled by swallowed tears.

He was silenced by Zhan’s lips on his:
“I will not let you be the only liar, here.
God, I need this so much, I need you so much, I love you so much…”

Their lips tingled when brushing lightly against each other’s, light as a feather. Their hearts were trembling like leaves in the wind…

Will it be their last lie?

Their last kiss?

Their last goodbye?

Their last time…?

~A week later~

“I don’t understand why you can’t be a hundred percent sure?
According to the DNA tests results, we are not biological siblings!”, I couldn’t refrain myself from snapping in anger at the doctor’s skeptical attitude.

After inviting me to have a seat, he gave me some mumbo-jumbo long lecture about chromosomes, sperm and egg, cells and genetic packages, from which I understood close to nothing, except of the conclusion, that the DNA tests are accurate, but not as accurate or as straightforward as paternity tests because siblings are less closely related to each other than to their parents.

“So, from what you are saying, we need the father’s DNA tests?”

I’m not even sure who might be that man, my dad or Zhan’s father, or could it be neither of them?
And, what about the mother? Mine, or his?
Don’t know yet how, but I’ll force Lao Lao to tell me, no matter about how that will be!
Now it’s no more time for secrets and lies!
