Jiang Jincheng said this in an extremely awkward way and then fell silent. He suddenly felt his cheeks getting hot. He never expected that the first time in his life that he said he liked someone would be to a man, and that man was the son of Director Xiao, whom he had watched grow up!

Damn! What the hell! !

"Cough...Okay, let's eat. The food is getting cold."

Jiang Jincheng's cheeks were burning hot. He picked up the chopsticks again and was about to pick up some food when he heard Xiao Ling on the other side respond in a very low voice: "I like you too..."

Jiang Jincheng paused for a moment, looking up at Xiao Ling, whose face was already blushing, in surprise. He suddenly realized that the situation was not good. If it was normal love, how could he have such an expression and such a reaction!

Jiang Jincheng rolled his dry throat, and the previous scenes with Xiao Ling suddenly reappeared in his mind...

Xiao Ling was too enthusiastic towards him, with occasional physical contact and the kind of shyness and stuttering he showed when he saw him... This was definitely not something a normal person who liked someone would do.

But...but they are both men!

You can't say that Xiao Ling likes him and wants to be his wife!

Oh shit! This is absolutely not okay!

Jiang Jincheng didn't even notice that his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking. He had solved so many cases and experienced so many crises without being afraid. The only thing that made him lose his composure was Xiao Ling's words "I like you".

"uncle…"

Xiao Ling noticed Jiang Jincheng's abnormality. He seemed to realize something and simply gritted his teeth and laid his cards on the table: "Uncle...it's just what you think..."

"I like you...I...the way I like you...is not...not normal..."

Xiao Ling's eyes were red and his heartbeat was gradually speeding up. He didn't dare to look at Jiang Jincheng's expression and just said softly: "I... I have liked you... for a long time..."

"Uncle, I'm serious! I'm not kidding!!"

"I have thought about the fact that we are both men... I... my kind of liking is not appropriate..."

Xiao Ling clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and continued: "But I really can't suppress my feelings for you. I know there is a twelve-year age difference between us, and I grew up under your care..."

"Originally I really didn't plan to show it... I didn't want to cause trouble for my uncle..."

"But...but..."

Xiao Ling's voice was choked with sobs, and he whispered: "I think the person Mr. Jun likes is also a man...the two of them are very happy together..."

"Uncle... I can't control my feelings for you... I really like you..."

Xiao Ling gasped and finally blurted out all the words that he had suppressed for so many years. He was in panic and extremely nervous. Jiang Jincheng didn't speak for a long time. He didn't know if he was shocked by him or what. The atmosphere was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

"what do you like about me?"

Jiang Jincheng sighed heavily and looked at Xiao Ling with a very serious expression: "You are not a child anymore, it's time for you to be sensible."

"Xiao Ling, if you just like me being nice to you, I can continue to be nice to you, but this is not called liking you. This is just you enjoying my preference for you."

"I am your elder, Xiao Ling. As you said, I am twelve years older than you. If you call me uncle, I have to act like an uncle."

Jiang Jincheng just felt a tightness in his chest for a moment. He didn't expect that the child he had watched grow up would one day set his sights on him.

"Xiao Ling, I'm only nice to you because you're Director Xiao's child. Director Xiao and I have a good relationship, and I love you as much as I love your dog. Do you understand?"

"If it was Director Xiao's son, I would treat him the same way, because I love him and his family."

Jiang Jincheng seemed to think that this explanation was a little wrong, so he added: "Of course I treat you well from the bottom of my heart, because I am your elder, and you are really likable. I really like you, but that is the preference of an elder for a younger person."

"Xiao Ling, let's put this aside. As far as gender is concerned, we are men, so there is no way we can have any results."

Xiao Ling suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart. He looked at Jiang Jincheng in confusion and then suddenly burst into tears. Jiang Jincheng's mouth trembled slightly and he resisted the urge to wipe his tears. He breathed a sigh of relief: "You have to think about your future. Your future is to be with a girl as good as you, get married, have children and live a good life..."

"Instead of being with someone like me who can't do anything and can only live in a muddle."

"You said you like me... If you really like my preference for you, I will treat you the same way in the future, but I can't be with you as a couple."

"No...I don't like you being nice to me..."

Xiao Ling choked up and wiped away her tears while looking at Jiang Jincheng: "I like you! I don't like you being nice to me!!"

"Uncle...I like you..."

"What do you like about me..."

Jiang Jincheng was also feeling bad at this moment. He was used to favoring Xiao Ling and coaxing him. Now seeing him crying like this, how could he feel good?

"Xiao Ling, there's no way for the two of us. You shouldn't be with someone like me, and you shouldn't like me..."

"Mr. Jun and his boyfriend are doing well! They have a result, so why can't we?!"

This was the first time Xiao Ling responded to Jiang Jincheng head-on. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was louder than Jiang Jincheng's.

"Xiao Ling, I told you that you are too impulsive and you are not mature."

Jiang Jincheng turned his head with some annoyance in his eyes. He was upset and wanted to smoke but couldn't find a way to vent.

"Uncle...I will change for you, okay...I...I will change...I will learn how to be mature..."

Xiao Ling's voice was choked with sobs and he couldn't speak. He seemed to be afraid that Jiang Jincheng really didn't want him, so he hurriedly held Jiang Jincheng's hand, wanting to hold it so hard that Jiang Jincheng could not escape.

Jiang Jincheng glanced at his whitened fingertips, he did not struggle. Jiang Jincheng was very mature, he knew that Xiao Ling was now like a small animal that would react to stimulation, now he had to follow Xiao Ling and slowly calm his emotions.

"Maturity is not something that can be learned overnight, and I don't accept you not because you are childish, but simply because we are both men and the age gap is too big."

Jiang Jincheng felt Xiao Ling's palm was cold, and he suddenly felt a little distressed and subconsciously held it.

"I said I don't mind your childishness, so you don't need to deliberately change to please me."

"Because I don't accept you because of who you are, I don't accept you simply because we are not suitable for each other."

Jiang Jincheng thought he had explained it clearly enough. He had lost his appetite and felt sad seeing Xiao Ling crying like this.

"Uncle will treat you the same as before. I can pretend that what happened today never happened."

Jiang Jincheng gently rubbed Xiao Ling's cheek and comforted her: "Xiao Ling, learning to let go of a fruitless relationship is a compulsory course in life. I am glad that you have the courage to like someone else, but now I need you to be able to let go."

Xiao Ling remained silent the whole time. He really didn't have the courage to let go. After a long silence, he just looked at Jiang Jincheng pitifully with bloodshot eyes, his voice seemed to be broken: "Uncle...can you...hug me..."

Jiang Jincheng sighed and felt really distressed. After all, he was the child he had watched grow up, so how could he not have feelings for him.

"come over…"

Jiang Jincheng motioned Xiao Ling to come over. Xiao Ling stood up tremblingly and slowly hugged Jiang Jincheng's waist, burying his face in his neck.

"uncle…"

"Be good, your uncle is not dead yet, don't cry to me."

Jiang Jincheng wiped his tears with a tissue, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Hey! At best, your confession was rejected. What's the big deal? Why are you so desperate?"

"Be obedient, uncle will still treat you the same as before, you can treat uncle however you want."

"Just know that no matter what happens to you, your uncle will treat you well."

Xiao Ling whimpered softly and nodded forcedly. He put his arms around Jiang Jincheng's neck and looked at him with red eyes: "Then uncle, can you agree to one of my requests..."

"Well, except for being with you, just tell me. I'll do it for you if I can."

Jiang Jincheng thought that since he had broken the boy's heart today, he should give him some compensation. After giving a slap in the face, he should also give a date, so some compensation is not too much.

"Uncle, can you... let me kiss you..."
