To their surprise, the ticket sales for "The Trial in New York" turned out to be very good. Although the venue was not sold out, it was already a very good result in terms of attendance.

Zhao Wenyan didn't understand the reason, but later figured it out.

The audience comes to see the show.In this stage play, their performance is a feast of food.

Shen Qiao was also very excited, cheering and saying that she could finally go on vacation. Zhao Wenyan listened curiously: "The dean gave you a vacation?"

"No. The teacher said that I don't have to work on Broadway during spring break."

"..." Dare Dean Kestner treat Shen Qiao as a handyman every spring break?

Shen Qiao returned to the UK during the spring break, and when he came back, he excitedly showed off his nephew Adam. He was indeed a very cute child, with light blonde hair and beautiful green eyes. Zhao Wenyan looked at them one by one, and said curiously : "Why didn't you see his mother?"

"His father is gay." Shen Qiao said, pointing to a handsome man with blond hair and green eyes in the photo, "This is Adam's godfather, his father's lover, Duke Edward Aldridge. He will soon have I have a son, and I hope he is as cute as Adam."

Zhao Wenyan was very shocked, not only because Shen Qiao's brother was gay, but also because Shen Qiao reacted quite calmly to this: "Did your family never object?"

"They will not object." Shen Qiao said, "Their family has inherited the GAY gene for generations. My adoptive father invested in the European Institute of Bioinformatics and also invested in IVF technology. It was only used by Adam's father."

...This long series of words contains too much information, and Zhao Wenyan said that he was incapable of accepting it for a while.Shen Qiao poked him and asked curiously, "Is homosexuality strange?"

"...Of course." Shen Qiao's words gave him a new understanding of the degree of openness in the UK --- although the UK was one of the first countries to abolish the crime of homosexuality, homosexuality has not yet arrived. The whole society is used to the point where it is not strange, "What do you think?"

"I feel very..." Shen Qiao pondered for a long time, and finally had a flash of inspiration, "It's equal!"

Zhao Wenyan: "?" He suddenly realized that Shen Qiao basically didn't speak English when he was alone with him, so he couldn't react to it like this.

"They are equal!" Shen Qiao hurriedly switched back to Chinese, "I think that everyone has the right to love someone. The person's appearance, personality, age, and family background will all affect the birth of love, and gender is also the same. One point is the same as any factor that may affect the birth of love, it just varies from person to person."

Shen Qiao was a little confused, but Zhao Wenyan still understood. His heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "How much does 'gender' affect you?"

"Probably not." Shen Qiao said, "I have never liked anyone, so I don't know if it will be affected." He suddenly asked, "What about you, have you ever liked anyone?"

His eyes were sincere and frank, and it was just a question on the spur of the moment. Zhao Wenyan's heart missed half a beat, and he subconsciously recognized it too much.

"I don't know," he said, "but I'm sure 'gender' doesn't affect me."

He got up and rubbed Shen Qiao's head, sat down at the desk, trying to calm down his restless mood.

Shen Qiao might take sex and love into consideration, but he definitely wouldn't.

It is already difficult for him to meet someone he likes, so why bother about "gender"?

After the photo incident, Zhao Wenyan's understanding of Shen Qiao's family was completely refreshed.He later asked Shen Qiao why he was adopted by his adoptive father, and Shen Qiao's answer gave him another surprise:

"We're related by blood," he said. "My grandmother was my adoptive father's biological aunt, and after my father died he was the closest blood relative to my sister and me."

"But my father is not gay." Shen Qiao seemed to realize something, and explained in a hurry, "This gene may only be passed on to male direct descendants."

...surprise shattered.

Later, Shen Qiao enthusiastically told him many things about his childhood, such as the football game his adoptive father took him to watch, his direct seniors at Eton College, and the family hunting at the age of 11: "Those two dogs The Brad Retriever really chased you halfway up the mountain?" He was dumbfounded.

"Yes." Shen Qiao remained expressionless, "I have been afraid of dogs since then, and Adam's father raised at least twenty dogs at home after he knew about it."

...This brother is really not up to standard, no wonder Shen Qiao refuses to call him by his name.

Zhao Wenyan once thought that he would have little chance to get in touch with Shen Qiao's big family, but he didn't expect that two months later, he would meet Shen Qiao's legendary adoptive father.

The dean called Shen Qiao and said that someone was waiting for him at the school gate. Shen Qiao called him to meet the person together, and suddenly jumped up excitedly after a dozen meters: "Charles!"

...He recognized Shen Qiao without even seeing the figure clearly. Is it too familiar or because Shen Qiao has amazing eyesight?

After walking into Shen Qiao, she poked her head out of the man's arms and took his hand: "He's my friend, Charles."

"I know." Charles touched Shen Qiao's head, and said to him in Chinese, "I am Joe's father, Charles."

"Hello, uncle." Zhao Wenyan replied.

Shen Qiao tugged on Charles' sleeve and asked in a low voice, "How do you know he is my friend?"

"It started when you invited him to your home." Charles said, pinching Shen Qiao's face fondly, "I don't know what friends you have, Joe?"
