"You have something on your mind." After lunch, Ms. Jiang stopped Cheng Xiao, "What's wrong?"

"Maybe I'm too busy." Cheng Xiao handed the washed fruit plate to Ms. Jiang, "Mom, eat grapes."

"It's just a competition, the result is not important." Jiang Chan took it over, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, go home, why are the strings so tight."

Cheng Yao took a magazine and came out to wander around, Cheng Xiao started the conversation: "Mom, are you just letting Yaoyao read these?"

"She can watch it if she likes." Jiang Chan said, "It doesn't bother you."

"But those are two men..." Cheng Xiao tentatively asked.

"Then what's the matter? There are new young people in our unit." Jiang Chan smiled, and Cheng Xiao felt relieved. Just as he was about to speak, Ms. Jiang continued, "As long as you are not."

Cheng Xiao lowered his head, feeling that the grapes in his mouth were bitterly sweet, "Mom, I'm sorry."

"It's fine, what are you apologizing for?" Jiang Chan didn't take it seriously.

"I am." Cheng Xiao raised his head.

Jiang Chan turned to look at him, "What did you say?"

"Mom, I'm sorry." Cheng Xiao's brows were full of sadness, "I'm gay, and I like boys."

Jiang Chan covered her mouth, tears fell drop by drop, she stood up and pointed at Cheng Xiao, her voice trembling: "How could you..."

Cheng Xiao said, "Mom, I'm sorry."

Jiang Chan waved her hands, sobbing came from her fingers, she turned and walked to the bedroom.Cheng Xiao and Cheng Yao wanted to follow, but were blocked from the door.

Cheng's father came back from taking out the trash and saw this scene, "Did you make your mother angry?"

Cheng Xiao lowered his head and whispered, "Dad, I'm sorry." Then he turned and walked into the room, closing the door.

Leaving Cheng's father and daughter staring at each other, Cheng's father asked, "You didn't say anything?"

Cheng Yao walked to the sofa with the doll in his arms and sat down, his eyes were distracted, and he was about to cry.

Puzzled, Cheng's father knocked on the door and entered the bedroom.

Cheng Xiao: How is Mom?

Cheng Yao: It’s cloudy and sunny.

Cheng Xiao sat on the bed blankly, looking at the second hand of the watch. He really wanted to tell Liang Chengyan that he was very sad, but he was afraid that Liang Chengyan would worry about him, so he threw the phone aside after reading Cheng Yao's WeChat. .

"What should I do?" Cheng Xiao muttered to himself.

Cheng's father came out to pour water for Ms. Jiang, and asked Cheng Yao with a cold face, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Yao's expression remained unchanged: "Broadcast the weather."

Cheng Xiao closed his eyes, his mind was like a movie, and the details of his parents and parents kept coming up. The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, and he kept saying "I'm sorry" while covering his head.

Time passed extremely slowly, as if decades had passed, when the knock on the door sounded, he was startled, stood up and wanted to open the door, but his legs became numb from sitting for too long, and he almost tripped over the chair.

"Cheng Xiao." Jiang Chan heard the movement, "Mom has something to tell you."

Cheng Xiao opened the door, helped Ms. Jiang to the sofa and sat down. Cheng's father filled his wife with a cup of hot water and sat next to her. Cheng Yao sat quietly across from her, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Mom, I'm sorry." Seeing that Ms. Jiang's eyes were still red, Cheng Xiao felt ashamed, "I made you sad."

"Cheng Xiao." Jiang Chan spoke in a nasal voice, "Mom's tears are not because she is disappointed in you, but because she loves my child, and she has to bear so much public opinion and stares."

Cheng Xiao's nose was sour, and he forgot all the words he had planned, "Mom..."

"I didn't control my emotions just now, did I scare you?" Jiang Chan sniffed.

Cheng Xiao's voice trembled, "I thought..."

"You are our child, but it is impossible for us to accompany you forever." Ms. Jiang said slowly, "You have found your own happiness, and we should be happy to have a companion in the future."

Cheng Xiao held Ms. Jiang's hand, and he realized that he hadn't observed his parents carefully for many years. It turned out that if he didn't dye his black hair regularly and do maintenance, the traces of time would disappear.

"This road is not easy to walk. As long as your parents are here for a day, they will protect you as much as possible." Jiang Chan bit her lip and calmed down, "But you have to remember that this society is not very strict with the same-sex group. Tolerance, you can only get the approval of those people if you go to the top with your ability."

"I see." The words hit Cheng Xiao's heart every word, burning his throat sorely.

Jiang Chan helped him wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Silly boy, your lips are peeling, don't you even know how to drink water when you're in the house?"

Cheng Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, threw himself into the arms of his parents, and cried like a child.

Cheng's father was not good at words, and stroked the back of Cheng Xiao's head with his big hand: "It's okay, it's okay."

After a long time, the family calmed down, with tears in the corners of their eyes, but a smile on the corners of their mouths.

Jiang Chan asked: "Who is he? Is it your classmate?"

Cheng Xiao said cautiously: "Liang Chengyan, that actor...you saw it last year."

"The one Yaoyao likes? The young man looks very energetic." Jiang Chan frowned, "How do you know each other?"

Cheng Xiao roughly said, "That's what happened."

Ms. Jiang glanced at Cheng Yao, and said to Cheng Xiao, "Let him come over for dinner when you have time."

"That..." Cheng Yao wiped away his tears, and timidly raised his phone, "Brother Yan is downstairs..."

"What? It's not forbid..." Cheng Xiao stood up immediately, and sat down embarrassedly because of his parents.

"Go, buy a bottle of soy sauce and come back." Ms. Jiang didn't expect it, and teased Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao stopped when he passed Cheng Yao, "You are really my sister."

"He asked." Cheng Yao held up his hands to show his innocence, "I told him only if you said sister-in-law is your own sister-in-law."

"Okay." Cheng Xiao ran downstairs without even tying his shoelaces.

He stood at the door of the unit, looking left and right, where was Liang Chengyan's shadow?The car parked on the side of the road honked its horn, Cheng Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, and ran over, "Didn't you not be allowed to come?"

"How could I let you carry it alone?" Liang Chengyan helped him straighten his collar, "Buy soy sauce?"

"You are really well-informed." Cheng Xiao poked his WeChat, and Cheng Yao was indeed the first one in the chat history.

"Let's go, first help me get the things in the trunk." Liang Chengyan turned off the ignition and pulled out the key.

When the trunk was opened, Cheng Xiao exclaimed, "You bought so many things?"

"It's the first time you come here, you have to show it." Liang Chengyan said, "Take things and lead the way."

At the dinner table, Cheng's father asked, "How would you like to try the dishes ordered from the restaurant?"

"It's delicious." Liang Chengyan took the food, "I didn't tell you in advance, I will cause you trouble."

"Cheng Yan, right? Next time you come, don't bring so many things, it's too strange." Ms. Jiang directed Cheng Xiao to move to the balcony for a while before clearing it.

"I don't know what you like, so I bought some of everything." Liang Chengyan said, "It's all a little bit of care."

"Someone said that I was the fate of my two sons before, but I thought it was Yao Yao's tomboy." Ms. Jiang seemed to think of something suddenly, and laughed to herself, "Cheng Yan, Cheng Xiao, I know today. "

Liang Chengyan picked up the cup and followed Ms. Jiang's words: "Dad, Mom, I respect you."

Cheng Xiao kicked him under the table, "What are you doing?"

"Oh." However, it was Cheng Yao who was kicked, and the little girl forced a smile, "Today's meal is really delicious."

With a guilty conscience, Cheng Xiao quietly held Liang Chengyan's hand, looked at him and laughed.

"I've packed the guest room, Cheng Yan, are you staying at home for the night?" Jiang Chan asked.

Cheng Xiao didn't think about it, "It's been a long time since the guest room has been occupied by people, it's so deserted, he can stay in my room."

Ms. Jiang looked at him lovingly, and Cheng Yao coughed, and Cheng Xiao quickly added: "He lives in my room, and I live in the guest room."

Ms. Jiang curled her lips, "There are only two rooms, at most there is a living room, you can see for yourself."

"Okay." Cheng Xiao lowered his head, Liang Chengyan leaned on the sofa, put his index finger on his lips, and smiled silently.

It seems that Ms. Jiang and Mr. Cheng entered the bedroom early in order to let them discuss how to allocate the room. Their mood fluctuated so much in a day, and the parents really had to take it easy.

As soon as the parents left, Cheng Xiao couldn't sit still. He dragged Liang Chengyan back to the house under his younger sister's eager eyes.

Liang Chengyan sat on the ground with his back against the edge of the bed, quietly watching Cheng Xiao rummaging through the drawer.

Cheng Xiao knelt on the ground and rummaged through it, and finally took out an exquisite small box. He walked to the side of the bed, leaned against Liang Chengyan and sat down, "I never thought of anything to give you."

Liang Chengyan put his arms around Cheng Xiao and kissed him on the hair.

"This was issued at the ACM Finals last year." Cheng Xiao opened the box, and there was a small badge lying on the black flannel, "Although the price is not as high as this watch, but... each one is available in the organizing committee." The registration number, this one represents last year's global championship."

Liang Chengyan took it off lightly, looked at it in the palm of his hand for a while, and handed it to Cheng Xiao: "Put it on for me."

Cheng Xiao opened the badge, took a magnet in his right hand, put it in Liang Chengyan's clothes, and fastened it on the badge. He stroked the pattern of the badge, "Before I met you, this was the thing I was most proud of. Your logical thinking is now given to you."

"Then I solemnly accept it." Liang Chengyan said seriously, and then began to play tricks again, "If you touch me, I want it too."

Cheng Xiao experienced the emotional turmoil of this day, and now his heart is sweeter than honey, so he put his hand into Liang Chengyan's shirt again, "Then I will touch it for a while."

When Cheng Yao knocked on the door, she didn't expect her own brother to be kissed by idols on the ground. She said, "Cheng Xiao, your phone fell on the sofa."

Cheng Xiao wanted to get up and open the door, but Liang Chengyan played tricks and refused to let go, so he showed his small fangs and rubbed Liang Chengyan's lips to show his fierceness.

Cheng Yao covered his eyes and handed over the phone, "Your clothes are disheveled, please do not look at evil."

The door was shut with a bang, without mercy.
