Lu Beichuan was very patient. “Daddy, too, wants to see a paper plane made by Zhouzhou. Zhouzhou make one for Daddy, eh?”

Zhouzhou looked into Lu Beichuan’s eyes and said, intimidated, “But… but didn’t Daddy say I am not allowed to make paper planes anymore?”

Lu Beichuan showed Zhouzhou both sides of the piece of paper. “Look, there’s nothing printed on either side of this piece of paper, right?”

Zhouzhou nodded.

“Then it is alright.” He then placed another piece of paper in front of Zhouzhou. “Look at this one. This has words printed on both sides of it, right?”

Zhouzhou nodded.

“Then you can’t make it into paper planes, do you understand?”

Zhouzhou looked back and forth between the two sheets of paper and suddenly got it. He grabbed the piece of paper that was blank and said, “This one has no words on it. I can make it into a plane!”

“That’s right, no words.” Lu Beichuan held both of his hands and taught him patiently how to fold a very beautiful plane. “Look, this one is made by Zhouzhou.”

Looking at the beautiful paper plane laying there in front of him, Zhouzhou shouted, “Zhouzhou is awesome!”

“That’s right. Zhouzhou is awesome. This paper plane is so pretty, what say you give that to Daddy?”

Zhouzhou handed the paper plane over to Lu Beichuan generously. He had a big smile on him, very different from his cautiousness from not too long ago. “This one is for Daddy!”

Lu Beichuan took the plane.

Zhouzhou looked carefully over at Lu Beichuan and said in a low voice, “Then… don’t be mad any more, Daddy? You will like Zhouzhou again?”

Lu Beichuan wrapped his arms around Zhouzhou and planted a kiss on his forehead.

Zhouzhou shuddered. Mommy had kissed him, grandma had kissed him, even grandpa had kissed him before, but Daddy never did.

This was a new level of intimacy between him and Lu Beichuan. “Daddy?”

“Daddy always likes Zhouzhou,” said Lu Beichuan. “You are Daddy’s son. Daddy will love Zhouzhou forever.”

Zhouzhou pouted and refused to let go of Lu Beichuan. His eyes teared up and he looked at him in an accusatory way. “It hurt so much when you spanked me yesterday, Daddy. Zhouzhou was all red.”

Lu Beichuan didn’t believe in spoiling children, but looking at Zhouzhou, he felt that perhaps Mother Lu was right. Zhouzhou was only 2 years old, it was okay to spoil him a little.

“Daddy is sorry that he spanked you yesterday. He will never do that again, okay?”

“Okay!”

Lu Beichuan carried Zhouzhou into his own room and Zhouzhou held onto him all night long. Ye Zhen was so mad that she gave him a smack on Zhouzhou’s butt and called him ungrateful.

Of course, the paper plane that Zhouzhou had given to Lu Beichuan stayed on Lu Beichuan’s bookshelf, always.

The harsh winter came and went quickly, and everybody changed into their spring clothing. Zhouzhou had turned 3 years old. With his backpack on his back, he was taken by Ye Zhen and Mother Lu to the international kindergarten that their entire family had spent a lot of time picking out.

Zhouzhou had no concept about kindergarten. All he knew was that there were many children his age that he could play with.

As such, he stepped into the kindergarten holding onto the teacher’s hand in a valiant and gallant manner. Nevertheless, when he turned around, he saw his mother and grandmother still standing outside of the kindergarten.
