Raising a Family [Rebirth]

Huo Qiming saw him in a daze and continued: "It's actually normal for you to have this kind of thinking. Many parents will go through this period, and yours is just a bit late."

Wen Rui lowered his eyes and said softly, "Then what should I do? I don't want to just go on like this."

Huo Qiming sighed, he took the cigarette case on the table and smoked a cigarette for himself, he was suffering from the onset of his addiction recently, but he just endured it and did not smoke secretly.

Wen Rui asked: "Is it difficult to quit smoking?"

Huo Qiming stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, "It's uncomfortable, I have been smoking since college, how many years have I been this year. Although I don't usually smoke much, but I have been smoking for a long time, it is very difficult to quit."

Wen Rui asked back: "Then why do you want to quit?"

Huo Qiming was taken aback: "Don't you know?"

Wen Rui took a deep breath, looked at the dim street lights outside and said slowly: "It's hard to quit smoking, but it will be even more uncomfortable when you see Chen Chao unhappy. There is always a choice..."

Just like him to Yue Ting, learning to like him, maybe there is still a possibility between them, but if one step is not careful, the end will be tragic, but if it stagnates like now, he will still be very painful.

His choice is related to his life in the next decade or even decades, and he dare not make a decision in such a haste.

Huo Qiming didn't understand the meaning of his words, "What's wrong with you?"

Wen Rui lay down on the recliner and said calmly: "I once told you that if Yueting has a lover who wants to leave me one day, I will be very sad."

Huo Qiming turned to look at him, he thought for a while before recovering this memory, "Well, you said that."

"I seem to see that picture now."

Jiang Yueting's vigilant gaze and food-protecting expression appeared in Huo Qiming's mind, and he shook his head: "No."

If Wen Rui's life is full of work and Jiang Yueting, then the center of Jiang Yueting's life is Wen Rui. He really can't imagine that these two people will be separated.

Once they said they would live forever, he just listened to it as a joke, but after a long time, he accepted the two people's way of getting along.

Sometimes he even thinks it's good for the two of them to live as they are now.

"Why is it impossible? When Yue Ting was young, I took him to the amusement park. He liked excitement very much, and he didn't like restraint. But I am not. I am obviously only three... only in my 20s this year, but I have a very good life." Like the elderly, there is basically no other place to go except in the store, training center and home. I don’t like to change. I can like the same dish for many years. One day I ate another dish and suddenly felt that this dish was better. , but I still will not change the taste, I will continue to fry my celery shredded pork. I only buy one brand of milk, even if someone tells me that another brand tastes better, I agree with his statement in my heart, But I'm not even willing to try. To put it bluntly, I just miss the old days, and I just like the same life."

If one day he really likes Jiang Yueting, then he will not change in his life, but the other party does not accept it, Jiang Yueting said that he cannot accept falling in love with his brother...

What should he do then?The concept of watching someone he likes fall in love with his own family is very different from watching Jiang Yueting get married and have children. He may endure the pain and accept the latter, but he cannot see the person he likes, the one that once belonged to him. Boys become lovers of others.

"The characters themselves are complementary. You have lived with him for so many years, haven't you?"

"The vision and state of mind are different between what he has experienced and what he has not experienced. He is still too young, and he has never met other people except me. In the future, he will meet many excellent people."

Huo Qiming frowned, and he asked back: "So where did the person who categorically told me that you would live your whole life gone? I don't know if you have too little confidence in yourself or you don't trust him too much."

Wen Rui smiled wryly, it was gone, it was worn out by Jiang Yueting's "do not accept".

"But it's not difficult to understand. The more you care about it, the more you worry about gains and losses." Huo Qiming said to himself, "I used to think that Yue Ting would like you..."

Wen Rui couldn't help shaking when he heard the words, he looked at Huo Qiming.

Huo Qiming smiled embarrassedly: "That was in the past. Now that I hear you say that he offered to move out to sleep, I feel relieved."

Wen Rui rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "I don't understand what you mean, do you want Yue Ting to live with me or not."

"From a rational point of view, I think your respective lives will be better, but..." Huo Qiming turned to look at him, "From a friend's point of view, I hope you can live happily."

"I comfort you by saying that he won't leave because he doesn't want to see you sad, but I'm really afraid that you will be caught in an ethical drama. Just watching the TV series my mother watches makes me dizzy." He was actually quite contradictory.

I have known Wen Rui for almost six or seven years. He also has a lover who has his own home. He also hopes that the other party will be happy and have a happy home.

"Then which do you prefer?"

"It can make your pain less painful." Huo Qiming muttered immediately after finishing speaking, "Fuck, why do you think it's not right! Don't get me wrong, I'm doing this from the perspective of a friend, and I have a family."

Wen Rui was amused by him, "It must have taken a lot of effort to come here today."

Huo Qiming was noncommittal, when Chen Chao heard that he was coming to see Wen Rui without bringing himself, the smell of vinegar could be smelled from far away, the other party reluctantly sent him downstairs, always muttering to let him go home early.

"I have a feeling he's calling soon."

Wen Rui: "Me too."

The two looked at each other for two seconds, and then Huo Qiming's cell phone rang.

"Not bad, I only called an hour after I went out today." Huo Qiming answered the phone muttering, said a few words to the other side, and hung up the phone in disgust, but the smile on his face did not diminish.

Wen Rui asked curiously: "Does he treat everyone like this? Or just me?"

"Only you."

Wen Rui's eyes widened in surprise: "Why?"

"I asked, and he said that when he thought about the years when he was not here, I have experienced so much with you, and you were the one who stayed with me when I encountered difficulties." Huo Qiming smiled shyly, "But you Don't worry about it either, he's not afraid of what will happen to me with you, if he really mistrusts and doubts me, I can't spoil him like this, he's just sad." Huo Qiming's voice dropped in the last sentence.

Wen Rui was silent and asked, "Why did he disappear for so many years?"

Huo Qiming remained silent.Wen Rui didn't ask any more questions when he saw this, but he believed that the other party had unspeakable difficulties.

"I don't like being controlled by others, and I hate others interfering in my life. I used to be urged to go home whenever I wanted to meet a friend. My head was so big. Now I understand that I don't hate that kind of thing. If it's someone I like to care about, I'll be happy with it." Huo Qiming looked at Wen Rui, "I think Jiang Yueting thinks the same way, you have to be confident, that bastard really cares about you."

Wen Rui didn't speak, maybe.

He looked at the cigarette case on the table and asked, "Can I have one?"

Huo Qiming stared and asked, "Are you kidding me?"

Wen Rui shook his head, "I just want to try it." He looked at the other party puzzled, "Is it not possible?"

"You know you said this to me. At first, I felt as if the dean heard the good-looking baby in the first grade go out to fight, smoke and drink."

Wen Rui smiled and asked, "It's not that exaggerated, I'll just try."

Huo Qiming hesitated and took one for him.

Wen Rui squeezed a cigarette jerky, "Is there a lighter?"

"Yeah." Huo Qiming took out the lighter from his pocket, although he stopped smoking, he still had to take it out for entertainment.

Wen Rui bit his cigarette and lit the fire by himself.

"Don't overbreath." Huo Qiming reminded him, "Just take a shisha."

Wen Rui doesn't know how to smoke, so he spit out the cigarette after taking a puff. He frowned: "It's not easy to smoke."

"Yes, yes, it's not easy to smoke at all, don't try it." Huo Qiming wanted to put out the cigarette in his hand, he was really afraid of "bad" Wen Rui, if Jiang Yueting knew about it, he would have to trouble him .

Wen Rui avoided it, "It's okay," he tried to inhale again, but he choked and coughed non-stop, he smiled awkwardly, "No, it's too choking, I can't stand the smell ’” He held the cigarette between his fingertips and watched it burn slowly.

Huo Qiming was relieved to see that he was being honest.

There was silence between the two, and Huo Qiming only spoke after the smoke was half burned: "Actually, I have always had a question for so many years."

Wen Rui looked up at him: "Huh?"

Huo Qiming: "Do you like men or women?" This question really confuses him, Wen Rui's sexuality is like a mystery.

Wen Rui shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't had sexual fantasies since adolescence."

"Asexual?" Huo Qiming frowned.

"Huh? Isn't it frigid?"

Huo Qiming was amused by him, he waved his hand and said: "No, there is a big difference between the two. Asexuality is the fourth sexual orientation other than GLB. This kind of people don't yearn for sex and have no feelings for sex. They will like someone, but They prefer non-contact spiritual love, to put it bluntly, they just need a companion."

Wen Rui seems to understand but not understand.Seeing this, Huo Qiming reached out and took his hand.

Wen Rui's eyes widened, and he withdrew his hand abruptly. He reminded the other party: "You have family members. If Chen Chao finds out, he might beat me up."

"What are you thinking, am I not going to show you what asexuality is? Why do I feel like I'm going to cheat when you say that?" Huo Qiming held his hand, "Do you hate this feeling?"

This may be the second time the two hold hands, the first time was three years ago, but at that time Wen Rui was busy dealing with his mother and didn't care at all, now he quietly feels that he is very uncomfortable.

He frowned, "Uncomfortable." It should be very uncomfortable.

"That's it, this level is still mild. If you take a step closer, such as kissing you, hugging you... your reaction may be even greater."

Wen Rui was taken aback, "Then I will never accept having sex for the rest of my life?"

"Not necessarily." Huo Qiming was a little confused, "This kind of people is really not that many, and there are very few studies on them. However, I remember someone's research said that asexuals may not be afraid of having sex, they just simply lack sex Exciting motivation. By the way, you hate Jiang Yueting's physical contact with you..."

Huo Qiming hadn't finished speaking when he heard the sound of the door opening and closing, both of them were stunned for a moment and looked back.

Jiang Yueting came home from evening self-study, who knew that as soon as he entered the living room, he saw Wen Rui and Huo Qiming sitting on the reclining chairs on the balcony and looking back at him.

Wen Rui avoided him for the past week. He was already in a bad mood. Today, seeing his brother come back so early, before he had time to be happy, he saw the two of them holding hands...

Jiang Yueting's face turned cold all of a sudden, his eyes were sharp, and he asked, "What are you doing?" His voice was icy, as if unmelted ice and snow had soaked into a person's blood, making one's body chill.
