it takes a little effort

Emotions and colors were originally rendered quite strongly, but a sudden violent cough came from Dad's pocket, which startled everyone.

Dad dodged like a thief who had been caught suddenly, and took out his phone in embarrassment.

Ling Chuan saw the display on the screen that he was talking to his mother!

Also amplify!

Actually!

"Mom!" Ling Chuan shouted.

My mother seemed to have choked on something, she didn't respond, she was still coughing, it took a while to recover, and she hung up the call.

Ling Chuan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Mom hasn't gone back yet, has she?"

"Leave her alone," Dad put away his phone, "I ask you, when did your problem start?"

"I'm fine." Ling Chuan pouted.

"It's okay to like men?" Dad stared at him, "Look at the Civil Affairs Bureau, which couple is a man and a man. Isn't there a man and a woman? This has been the case since the beginning of Pangu."

"Then treat me as something wrong," Ling Chuan said, "I've been sick for a day or two. I've had a crush on him since high school, and I chased him shamelessly, just like a dog can't get rid of eating shit. It can't be changed!"

Jiang Kai pursed his lips, almost laughing.

Dad held his head and couldn't listen anymore, "Then what are you two going to do in the future? Just make do with it? What will you do when you get old? You don't even have a child, who will take care of you?"

"Why do you want a child, you have to feed him shit and piss," Ling Chuan said, "If you want to meet someone as difficult as me, who makes trouble every day, I will be so angry that I will die."

"You're quite self-aware," Dad poked Ling Chuan's temple, sighed, and slowly pulled away the chair beside him and sat down, "You kid never let us worry about it since you were a child. How old... I thought that you have finally grown up and worked, so you should make us feel at ease, and you are going to make us worry about it for the rest of your life."

Ling Chuan walked over and squeezed his father's shoulder.

I don't know when it started, but my father's temples also had white hair.

"I just can't figure it out," Dad sighed while shaking his head, "I really can't figure it out, why... hey, why are you two together?"

"Uncle," Jiang Kai sat down and looked at him, "Emotions are unreasonable. If you like that person, you want to be with him, protect him, and live with him. I think you should It’s also clear, after all, it’s someone who has been here.”

Dad glanced at him and said nothing.

"I remember you told us when we were young that grandma didn't agree with you being with aunt..." Jiang Kai said, "We are the same now as you were back then, and we are very sure of our feelings for each other , I only hope to be recognized and blessed by the closest people around me.”

"Dad, I am still the same me, and Jiang Kai is still the same Jiang Kai, we will be the same as before, even more filial to you than before." Ling Chuan bent down and hugged his father's neck, "Try not to let you worry, Is it done?"

"You have two mouths against me and one mouth. I can't say no to you. Let's discuss this later when your mother comes." Dad grabbed a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Ling Chuan, "Eat first."

"Where is my mother?" Ling Chuan pulled out his chair and sat down.

"She was afraid that seeing you two would make her uncomfortable, so she hid downstairs at the hamburger shop and dared not come up." Dad said.

"Oh..." Ling Chuan poked the white rice twice, but he didn't have any appetite for his favorite dishes, "I'll go find her."

Jiang Kai felt that if he wanted to stay here and stare at Papa Ling, he might be suffocated to death, but leaving Papa Ling here alone felt like he didn't want to stay with him either.

While hesitating, Ling Chuan had already closed the door.

Dad coughed and handed the chopsticks to Jiang Kai, "Eat."

"Thank you." Jiang Kai took the chopsticks.

"Don't be so thankful, it sounds weird," Dad sighed, "Didn't Xiao Chuan say, what should be or what should be, this matter... Anyway, I won't be able to tell for a while."

"Okay." Jiang Kai twitched his lips.

"There's something that I've never been ashamed to ask." Dad looked at Jiang Kai with some embarrassment, as if he mustered up a lot of courage before he spoke, "Do you two usually hold hands like a young couple?"

Jiang Kai felt that Ling's father asked this question very tactfully, and he was probably curious about how the two men lived together.

"We are a couple, we can hold hands, date together, take a walk, go to the supermarket, just like everyone else." Jiang Kai smiled.

Dad hesitated to speak, and kept picking at the edge of the lunch box, as if he was thinking about how to ask another question.

Jiang Kai roughly guessed in which direction he might ask the question, and took a sip of water.

"You have something to say..."

"you two……"

The two spoke almost at the same time, and Dad was stunned.

"What about us?" Jiang Kai asked.

"Forget it, forget it." Dad waved his hand and took several mouthfuls of rice.

"If you want to know anything, just ask," Jiang Kai said, "You may not be able to ask others about this matter. It's so uncomfortable to be stuck in your heart."

Dad sat up straight, cleared his throat, "Then let's live together as a young couple, it's nothing more than these things, cooking, washing, sleeping..."

"Yeah." Jiang Kai swallowed a piece of fish in his mouth.

"You two boys..." Dad spoke again with difficulty.

Jiang Kai felt that if Ling's father went on like this, it would be dark, so he pointed it out directly, "Do you want to ask us how to solve our physiological needs?"

Dad froze for a moment, then nodded in response.

Jiang Kai felt that this question was rather embarrassing. He wanted to tell the truth, but he was afraid that Papa Ling would find it awkward or even disgusting, so he turned his eyes away and said, "Let's solve it by ourselves."

Dad suddenly realized "Oh", "Then you two are quite pure-hearted."

When Ling Chuan walked out of the community, he remembered that there were several hamburger restaurants nearby. He didn't know which one his father was talking about. He wanted to call to ask, but found that he didn't bring his mobile phone. He was too lazy to turn back, so he had to start looking for the nearest one.

I didn't find my mother until I finished searching the third house, thinking about whether to go to other places first or go home directly.

As soon as he went out, he caught a glimpse of a person sitting on the ground under the shade of a tree not far away.

He hugged his knees with his arms and buried his whole face in it.

It would be close to twelve o'clock, the sun was hot, and her arms were red from the sun.

"Mom," Ling Chuan ran over and squatted in front of her, "Why are you staying here?"

Mom was probably frightened, shrugged her shoulders, and raised her head after a while, "How did you find this place?"

"Dad said you were here," Ling Chuan said with some distress when he saw that her forehead was sweating from the sun, "Why are you sitting outside?"

"There are too many people in the store, so I can't always occupy my seat." My mother stroked her hair, and took out a tissue in her pocket to wipe off her sweat.

"Go home and turn on the air conditioner." Ling Chuan hugged her arm, "You can call me if you want to beat me or scold me, as long as you don't ignore me."

His mother twisted his arm hard, but Ling Chuan gritted his teeth and remained silent.

When he stood up, he saw the gauze on Ling Chuan's knee and asked, "Does your knee still hurt?"

"If you're not angry with me, I won't be in pain." Ling Chuan rubbed his mother's arm.

"Little bastard..." Mom patted him on the back several times in a row, but compared to the two in the morning, it was not too heavy.

"Do you still want to live a good life?" Mom raised her voice, "I'll let my grandparents know about it, and I'll tell you if they're mad!"

Ling Chuan lowered his head, the tip of his nose was sore, what he was most afraid of was hearing this sentence, he felt very heartless but had to continue, "I don't want to do this either, but I just can't help liking him, you What should I do, if I can choose whether to like it or not, I definitely won't like a boy."

"Do you really know your feelings? What you like now may become boring after a while. People change every day. Even if you can bear the temporary gossip, can you bear it for a lifetime?" The old man Mom walked unhurriedly, "Let's not talk about what we think of you, colleagues, relatives, friends around you, those complicated and discriminatory gazes, do you really think you can survive it?"

"I don't care what other people think, and I don't eat other people's rice." Ling Chuan said.

"Wouldn't it affect your work?" My mother said, "What about my colleagues? Single for the rest of my life?"

"Why do we care so much about what other people think of us when we live? Everything depends on others, so why can't we live for ourselves?" Ling Chuan turned his head to look at her, "Times are changing, people are changing, and there are many people around me. Everyone can accept it, not to mention same-sex marriage abroad.”

"Don't worry about what's going on abroad, you just can't do it in China now," my mother said, "I'm your mother, I can't do anything about you, and I can't say anything about you behind your back, but I tell you, other people's mouths , is much more vicious than me, so don't come and cry with me when you suffer."

"No," Ling Chuan said, "I chose this path, and I will definitely go on it."

Looking at him, my mother suddenly remembered something, and grabbed his arm, "Tell me honestly, was it because you wanted to find him that you insisted on coming here?"

"Yes." Ling Chuan replied.

"It's crazy." Mom quickened her pace.

Ling Chuan opened the door and came in, interrupting the conversation between his father and Jiang Kai. The four of them looked at each other, and his mother picked up the cup on the table and poured a large cup of cool water.

"Did you hit you?" Jiang Kai lip-synced to Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan also mouthed back, "No."

"What code words are you two talking about again?" The dad who was standing by saw it and couldn't help but said.

"Jiang Jiang," my mother put down the water glass and walked to the bedroom, "Come in, I have something to tell you."

"Can I listen?" Ling Chuan asked.

"No." Mom gave him a blank look.

Ling Chuan pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Kai with blinking eyes. Jiang Kai smiled back at him and followed into the bedroom.

Mom moved a chair and sat down, Jiang Kai stood aside nervously, as if waiting for a trial.

"Sit down, you are so tall, I keep looking up at you, my neck is almost broken." Mom said.

Jiang Kai straightened his back and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Did Auntie scare you this morning?" Mom said.

"We should have scared you." Jiang Kai said.

"Actually, I felt that the relationship between you two is very close," my mother sighed, "but I really didn't expect this relationship. I thought to myself, you two have been close since childhood. We Lingchuan have a brother like you. Taking care of it, I felt relieved a lot, but in the end..."

"Auntie, you should have heard what I wanted to say on the phone," Jiang Kai looked at her, "I will do my best to take good care of him."

"I advise you not to make any promises," my mother said, "This person will change, even if he gets married, he will get divorced, let alone people like you."

"Yeah." Jiang Kai nodded, but didn't speak.

"I don't like to beat around the bush when I speak. Some words may be a little harsh, so be patient." Mom said.

"It's okay, I can take it." Jiang Kai smiled.

"Your family, I heard Ling Chuan mention it before..." Mom frowned, "It's a bit messy... If you were just friends, I definitely wouldn't ask about it, but since you are now a couple As the relationship goes on, I still want to understand clearly.”

"I don't have anything to do with them anymore," Jiang Kai said, "I came here to live here to get rid of all ties with them."

Mom was startled, "Then you plan to live here often in the future?"

"Well, I haven't considered moving at the moment." Jiang Kai nodded.

"Originally, our plan was to move back to Yucheng after Ling Chuan got married and buy him a house in the city. It would be more convenient for us to help take care of the children. Now that you two have talked, have you thought about what to do in the future? Have you ever been?" His mother looked at him, "Let Ling Chuan stay here with you for the rest of your life?"

"It depends on what Ling Chuan means. If he wants to be here, then he is here. If he wants to go back to Yucheng, I will resign and accompany him back. Anyway, there are hospitals everywhere." Jiang Kai said.

"Then what do you do if you meet someone you don't want to see again?" Mom asked.

"I've grown up, auntie," Jiang Kai patted his chest, "I have confidence, and I won't be afraid to face them now."

"You are a very smart child. My aunt has liked you since I was a child. I hope you choose carefully," my mother said. "The choice I am talking about is not just about changing places to work, but about your future lives... two boys Together, you will always be prejudiced, and you may face many difficulties that you can't even imagine now."

"Auntie, do you know that there is a popular saying in our industry, 'except life and death, everything else is trivial'." Jiang Kai smiled.

"There is some truth to this," my mother sighed helplessly, "I also felt the same way when I went to see my colleague in the hospital today, really, nothing is more important than being healthy...so I won't Doing those things that beat mandarin ducks makes it difficult for Ling Chuan, after all, I am such a precious son, seeing him suffer, I also feel uncomfortable, but this does not mean that we directly approve of your relationship."

"Yeah." Jiang Kai nodded and listened patiently.

"Auntie has also experienced a period of passionate love. It is good to see each other, but in fact, after living together, there will be many conflicts and frictions. Those small problems that you can tolerate now may become your quarrels in the future. □□...I still hope that you can get along well for a while, think carefully before making a decision, after all, this is the best time in your life, and you can't afford to delay it." Mom said.

"Thank you, Auntie, for your reminder," Jiang Kai said softly, "I understand."

"The reason why I don't tell Ling Chuan these words is because I know his stubborn temper too well. I will never listen to it. Instead, I will blame me for not understanding you, but you have been more sensible than our family Ling Chuan since you were young. You also know how to do things properly, so I advise you to think in the long-term direction." Mom said.

"Okay." Jiang Kai nodded.
