My Two Dads

My name is Gao Lele. I have a secret - my Omega father, Gao Tu, is a "liar". He always said that he was an ordinary Beta, but I knew that he would stare at an old mobile phone late at night, and he would hold me very tightly during thunderstorm nights. He smelled nice of sage, but he lied to me and said it was Beta's refreshing essential oil. Until one day, Uncle Alpha, who was as tall and cold as an iceberg, found us. The way he looked at Gao Tu's father was like a wolf staring at a long-lost rabbit. Gao Tu's father asked me to call him "Uncle Shen". The uncle named Shen Wenlang's hands were so big that they shook a little when he lightly touched my face. He looked at me and then at Gao Tu's father. There was a sad and bright light in his eyes that I had never seen before. Later, Father Shen put me on his shoulders so that I could touch the clouds in the sky. Dad Gaotu finally no longer has to sigh secretly late at night. His smile is sweeter than strawberry pancakes. Now I know that Gao Tu's father told so many lies because he was too afraid of losing. And Father Shen searched for so long because he was too afraid of not being able to find it. Our family is like a beautiful cup that was accidentally broken, but is now being glued back together bit by bit with love and courage. I am Gao Lele, and this is my story - about my rabbit Omega dad, my wolf Alpha dad, and me, the little baby who accidentally became their most important bond.
