A/n: As I didn’t have enough free time, I split this chapter in two parts, maybe three, don’t know yet. Also, it would have been too long. Thus I post this first part of the Christmas Day.

Wang Yibo smiled widely at “HIM”, the caller’s ID, before answering the call.
“Hello, Perrito, I called you to tell you that we are all at the hospital, nobody is home. So, just wait there in front of the house, if you arrive before us.”

“Hello, Xiao Zhan Ge!
I’m at the hospital, too. I have just finished with the registration hassle and I was heading to MianMian’s ward.
But why are you all at the hospital, something happened?”, Yibo asked while pressing the elevator button.

“No, nothing happened, we just wanted to bring Christmas to MeiMei, as she will miss our family Christmas dinner for the first time.
I’m so glad that you’ll be here, too, this way the family will be completed.
And you?”

“I have just wanted to stop by here, before going to your home, to bring a mini Christmas tree to MianMian, even though she will not be aware of that.”, Wang Yibo explained, while knocking on the hospital ward’s door, feeling again like a guilty intruder.

“Oh, you’re already here!
Everyone, attention please, this is the new member of our family, I was telling you about.
This is my Perrito, Wang Yibo! “, Xiao Zhan wrapped an arm around his shoulders and dragged him inside.

Yibo ascertained that besides the Jins, who were gathered around the patient’s bed, in the room there were a few unknown people, too, probably the Spaniards.

“I like him, he’s adorable and shy like Dulce (A/n: sweet or candy in Spanish), our beloved perrito we had when we were younger, indeed. I miss Dulce, I loved him so much!
But your Perrito? Why yours, Zhan Gege?
Hello, I am Xiao Lucia, but call me Lulu, as everyone does.
And this is my twin brother, Xiao Juan, or Yuan.
What should we call you? Could we call you Perrito, or even Dulce? I like Dulce and it really suits you!”, a little girl, holding hands with a little boy, grabbed Yibo’s free hand and smiled widely at him.

Xiao Zhan didn’t get to say anything or react somehow at his little sister’s garrulity that a woman jumped to the lost perrito’s rescue:
“Lulu! Why don’t you behave yourself and take your twin as an example , what did I teach you so many times?!
I apologize, Lao Wang Yibo, and please forgive my daughter’s rudeness. She is an educated kid, but just can’t help herself!
Allow me to introduce myself, I am Xiao Alexandra, the Spanish mother, as the family usually calls me.”

“No need to apologize, Senora. Lulu did nothing wrong. She is a very sweet child.
I am honored to meet you, Senora Xiao Alexandra De La Cruz!”, Yibo bowed, not knowing if according to the Spanish nobility’s protocol, he should shake or kiss her hand.
He had just started to try a reverence like he saw in movies, but stopped at Xiao Zhan’s chuckle.

A man walked to them and slapped Xiao Zhan on the back of his head, in NaiNai’s sweet fashion way:
“ZhanZhan, don’t be an aSs! Instead of laughing at him, why don’t you explain to him properly who we are? Especially that we are normal people, not royalties.
Please, YiBo son, can I call you so? Please, excuse our kids, we gave them all a proper education, but for some reason, they are not always what we expect them to be!
But let me introduce myself, I am Xiao XingChen, the kids’ father, and the husband of my beautiful Alexandra, whom you can call Mama. And call me Baba.”

“And you Xiao Zhan Ge, what should I call you? Baron, Count, Sire?”, Yibo dared to be sarcastic to the man who hurt him with his laughter.

“I am sorry Perrito, I didn’t mean to laugh at you, but you were too cute, just like a gracious ballerina, trying to perform a curtsy, he, he!
You’re too adorable!
As my Baba said, we are common people. It’s true that Mama Alexandra has noble blood, coming from an old family of Spanish lords, but when a noble marries a commoner, it’s called a morganatic marriage. It means that their children would be considered as legitimate children and they would inherit their parents, but they would not inherit any of the titles of nobility.
So, you can still call me Zhan Ge, or however you want, without worries.”, Xiao Zhan smiled, tapping affectionately the tip of Yibo’s nose.

“By the way, you keep calling me Perrito. Why, what does that mean?”, Yibo asked while placing the mini Christmas tree on the cabinet from next to the patient bed, after greeting NaiNai and the rest of the Jin family members.

“Perrito means puppy, but I’m not gonna tell you why I call you that.”, Xiao Zhan grinned.

“The real question is why do you call him YOUR perrito? Lulu was right to ask you. Hmm, I feel like something is fishy here!”, LingLing butted in.

“What nonsense are you saying there, LingLing? Yibo is his sister’s perrito, so it is a matter of fact that he is ZhanZhan’s perrito, too.”, GuanYao rolled his eyes at his younger brother.

“Hmm, it still bothers me, I can’t put my finger on what it bothers me, but…”, LingLing didn’t shut up.

“To be honest, some things keep bothering me, too.”, Xiao Zhan said, alarming Yibo.
“For example, why have you never kissed MeiMei? Now, for instance, when you placed that pot on the cabinet, it would have been normal for you to bend and whisper a ” hello, I miss you, I love you” to her while planting a kiss, if not on her lips because of our presence, at least on her cheek, or forehead, or the tip of her nose, don’t know.”

“Yeah, right!”, LingLing exclaimed, even if NaiNai’s palm subtly landed on the back of his head.

“Because he is too shy to kiss her in front of so many people! Even Lulu noticed that he is shy! What the heck is wrong with you all? Just give the man a break! Just yesterday you were all praising and loving him, and now, you…! He saved MianMian’s life for God’s sake, and suddenly you doubt about his love for her.”, GuanYao tried to come to his new friend’s rescue.

“Cut it off, all of you!
What’s this about all of a sudden?
Yibo, son, It would be easy to give them proof that you’re MianMian’s boyfriend!
All you need to do is to…”, Mister GuanShan intervened, to calm down the suddenly heated spirits.

“Yes, give us the proof, Perrito!”, Xiao Zhan shouted, fixing the pillow under MianMian’s head and holding her hand in his.

“Alright, I will prove it!
I will ask Missis Jin Sanren to check it out, as a woman, and also as her mother.”, Yibo came into his senses, his brain starting to work again after the few minutes of panic he went through.

“Check it out? I thought that simply you’d kiss her. But, what?”, MianMian’s mother asked, looking questioningly at the others who were no less puzzled as she was.
Especially Xiao Zhan, who had all kinds of mixed feelings, suspicion, worry, curiosity, hope, disappointment, anticipation and hope again.

“Yes, you, Missis Jin Sanren, you are the only one who can check out her tattoo, because it’s in a too private spot, to be shown to all of you.”, Yiibo explained, way more self-confident as a few moments ago.

“A tattoo?”,all the Jins gasped in unison, along with Xiao Zhan.

“MeiMei doesn’t have a tattoo, you’re bluffing! As her older brother, I would have known about it!”, Xiao Zhan squinted at Yibo.

“You didn’t know as her older brother, but I know, as her boyfriend!”, Yibo grinned triumphantly.
“Missis Jin Sanren, please check it out. It’s on her left inner thigh. It’s a cat tattoo!”

“A cat? What the hell is going on?! MeiMei always hated cats!”, Xiao Zhan screamed.

“It’s true! It’s a cat tattoo!”, Missis Jin Sanren exclaimed in shock, after peeking under the sheet covering the sleeping girl.

After Yibo tried his best to slide between the dozens of questions related to the cat tattoo he was bombed with, GuanYao managed somehow to extract him from the room. He asked Yibo to help him bring some bottles of water for everyone from the hospital;s cafeteria.

“How in the world did you know about that tattoo?
Are you sure that you told me the truth, that you didn’t meet MianMian before?”, GuanYao asked Yibo, still in shock after what happened in the ward.

“I didn’t lie to you, I swear! You’re the only one knowing the truth, actually.
I know about the tattoo, because I accidentally met the tattoo artist in the hospital elevator.
He assumed that I was MianMian’s boyfriend, thus he kept apologizing to me for the mistake his tattoo studio made and begged me to not sue him, as the other client did.
What happened was that MianMian gave the artist a picture of something that she wanted to be her tattoo. Don’t ask me what that was, because the tattoo artist told me only that a stupid new employee of his studio exchanged MianMian’s picture with the cat picture of another client. And so, someone got the tattoo that MianMian wanted, while she got that other client’s cat tattoo.”, Yibo explained.

“Woah! That’s one amazing story!
You’re not only a hero, and handsome, but you’re extremely smart! The way you remembered the story at the right moment and the way you used it to escape from that difficult situation!
Woah!
I hope that you and MianMian will fall in love for real after she wakes up. I would be extremely happy for her!
I promise to be your matchmaker after she wakes up!I already have a few ideas!”, GuanYao beamed in satisfaction.

“No, GuanYao, please don’t! Don’t help things to get even more complicated that they already are! Promise me that you will not!”, Yibo begged.

“We’ll see what the future will bring, don’t worry anymore!”, GuanYao avoided the promise request, worrying Yibo to no end, but what could he do?

“I will take the subway, or I could take a walk, it’s pretty warm weather.”. Yibo managed to talk in the middle of the uproar created by the many family members talking at once, in the hospital parking area.

“No way! We have three cars, you are thin enough to be crumpled in one of them, ha, ha! I must take care to feed you properly!
ZhanZhan is right, you’re so cute, especially when you blush!”, NaiNai laughed, pinching Yibo’s cheek.

“He will come with us, in Baba’s car, we will hold Lulu and Yuan in our lap! Come, this is our car!”, Xiao Zhan grabbed Yibo’s arm and led him to the car the Spanish family rented right from the airport.

After climbing up the car on the back seats, they called the kids who were still nagging at NaiNai, to find out what cake she cooked.

“I will leave Lulu for you to hold her, as I noticed that she has a soft spot for you, don’t you, Lulu?
And I will hold Yuan. Come, Ah-Yuan, hop up!”, Xiao Zhan smiled, parting his long legs a bit, to make room for the little boy.

Yibo sighed, pretending that he didn’t notice that their thighs were practically glued to each other.

“Aha, ha, ha!”, Yuan started laughing, confusing the two men.

“What?”, Lulu asked her twin.

“I think that Gege would rather hold Dulce in his lap, than me, ha, ha, ha!”, the little boy laughed even harder.

“And I thought that Yuan is the innocent and the quiet one from your twin siblings, ha, ha, ha!”, Yibo cracked a forced laugh, squirming in his seat.

“Lulu and Yuan could be called anything but innocent! Oh, you have no idea how evil they can be, ha, ha, ha!”, Xiao Zhan laughed too, with the same fake laugh as Yibo’s, while tickling Yuan and stealing glances at his overly flustered seatmate.
