growing up

After dinner, the two sat on the sofa in the living room, and there were two cups of steaming fruit tea on the coffee table in front of them.

From school to eating to making tea, it seemed that even the air was condensed between them.The atmosphere was a little awkward.

There was a faint fruit fragrance in the room, and after quieting down, the heating in the room surrounded the whole body, and people gradually relaxed.

Gu Yuan took a sip from the cup, it was sweet and warm, reaching his heart and spleen.He smiled and said, "Brother Chao, you can open a shop outside with all your tea."

"Really? Let's open a fruit tea shop after we graduate." As soon as Ling Chao finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, but he didn't rush to take it back.

He leaned over to look at Gu Yuan, and the smile that had just started on the face behind the heat also faltered.

Gu Yuan lowered his eyes and sipped his tea. He was thinking about how to speak. He felt that it was too formal for two people to sit face to face and discuss things.

But it has already been agreed that it will be settled on New Year's Day after the exam. Although today is not New Year's Day, but the monthly exam is over, what should be said will be said sooner or later.

"That... oh..." Ling Chao lowered his head and sighed.

"Brother Chao," Gu Yuan put down his cup and moved a little closer to Ling Chao, their legs were already touching each other, "Let's not be like this, just say what you want, and don't worry too much .”

Ling Chao looked at Gu Yuan's serious appearance, and stretched out his arms to hug him: "Gu Yuan, I never thought of deceiving you, never."

"I know," Gu Yuan also wrapped his arms around Ling Chao, and patted him on the back lightly twice, "You must not be feeling well these days, even though you look normal, I still see you in a daze Several times."

"Well, I'm a little nervous." Ling Chao let go of Gu Yuan and crossed his legs on the sofa.

Gu Yuan followed his example, and the two sat cross-legged facing each other.

"How about, let me talk about my thoughts first." Gu Yuan patted his knee and said as if he had made up his mind.

"No, this time, I'll talk first." Ling Chao took him to hold one hand, and squeezed it slowly.

"Okay." Gu Yuan didn't argue, in fact, it doesn't matter whoever says first.

"I don't think I've ever told you about my family's situation," Ling Chao said, "I'm the only child in my family, and my parents are now running a listed company together. Since I was a child, my parents didn't have too many demands on me, and I want to learn What I want to play is mainly based on my wishes. And I seem to be only interested in Sanda, and I have been playing it for so many years."

"I went to private schools before high school, and many of my classmates are descendants of my parents' business circle. Most of them will receive management education in elementary school to prepare for inheriting the family business in the future."

"But I have never been taught in this way. I only got this knowledge after junior high school, and since then, I have been exposed to these learnings myself. My parents are very happy to see that I am willing to learn. In fact, I Many of my classmates studied abroad in high school. I did not follow this point. I even applied for a public high school.”

"I want to go to high school in China, but the university must go abroad directly. Maybe I still want to be lazy. The college entrance examination is meaningless to me, but high school life is of great significance. Maybe domestic education still focuses on exam-taking purpose, but I quite like this kind of campus life.”

"Actually, my parents already helped me choose a school when I was a freshman in high school, and then I will go directly to university."

"For this matter, my attitude has never changed. I want to study business, go abroad, and return to take over my parents' company. This is not only what my parents have been expecting after seeing that I am interested, but also As their son, I should bear it."

"Meeting you was my accident. In fact, I was born gay. My parents knew this very early on. They also knew that I liked you and that we are together now. My parents support us. .”

"It's just the matter of going abroad. I didn't think about it before. It was my mistake that I didn't talk about it with you. If Zhang Zhigang hadn't mentioned it that day, I really haven't realized it. I should have an explanation to you."

"It's not uncommon for batches of people to study abroad in universities now. But I'm still sorry if you got this news from someone else. I should have come to tell you this."

"I'm sorry, Gu Yuan, I'm sorry that I didn't think of this, and I didn't tell you earlier. Although we have only been together for two months, I am sincere to you. This is the first time I have serious feelings for someone. Feeling, I hope this feeling can last for a lifetime, only for you. So, even if it was planned before, I am not going to leave you. My parents said that they will not interfere with my decision, even if I don't want to They won't blame me for doing business. Then if I want to study in China with you, that's fine too."

Ling Chao said so much in one breath, he told Gu Yuan what was on his mind.He knew that Gu Yuan's university would only stay in China, and he would even choose among nearby universities, and he would not even go to one that was farther away.Because it is impossible for him to let go of his sister and go abroad with him.Therefore, Ling Chao would not propose such an idea.

After getting along for almost a semester, until they confirmed their relationship, Ling Chao's liking for Gu Yuan became deeper and deeper. He hadn't thought about college before, but now that it was brought up, he had to wonder whether he could really bear four year respectively?

In fact, it is not impossible to go to school in China, but in the general environment, choosing to go abroad is definitely much better than staying in China.

Ling Chao kept observing Gu Yuan's expression while he was speaking, and Gu Yuan's expression was still the one he often had.There will be no great joy or great sorrow, but it will be as calm as water from beginning to end.

"Is this what you want to tell me?" Gu Yuan asked.

"Yeah." Ling Chao nodded.

"Ah..." Gu Yuan lowered his head, and when he raised it up, there was a smile on his face, "So you think, I will blame you?"

In the living room, only a chandelier on the top was turned on, emitting a warm yellow light.

Ling Chao looked at Gu Yuan, he was wearing a school uniform after taking off his padded jacket, his immature face was the same as when he first saw him, but it was quite different from the expression of alienation towards everyone at the beginning.

Gu Yuan cleared his throat, looked at Ling Chao intently, and began to say: "Actually, when I heard someone say that you were leaving university that day, I was also shocked for a while, but I never blamed you."

"Maybe it has something to do with Qingqing's illness. Since childhood, the doctor has been telling me and my grandma that she may not live to a certain age, so every time she enters the hospital, we are prepared to lose her. When I was young, I would be afraid, cry, and hate why it wasn’t me who was sick. After experiencing a lot, Qingqing was more open than us. She was the one who was sick, and she was the one who might leave this world at any time. She became The bravest person. She said that she cherishes every day she is alive now, and then try her best to complete what she should complete without leaving any regrets."

"After I saw your chat records with other people last time, I went to Qingqing, and it was she who made me realize my feelings for you. Although she is in poor health, she always knows more than me."

"When I say this, I actually want to tell you that if you decide to do it, don't change it because of anyone. No matter how far you go to study in the future, you will come back one day, won't you? Then, I will wait here Wait, when you come back..."

Gu Yuan didn't finish the rest of the sentence because he was gagged by Ling Chao.

Ling Chao clasped the back of Gu Yuan's head, pulled it towards him violently, turned his head slightly, and pressed Gu Yuan's lips, swallowing all the words behind him.

This kiss was not gentle at all, and Gu Yuan's teeth hit it when he kissed it, but Ling Chao didn't seem to feel any pain, and he attacked the city from the very beginning, and drove straight to the deepest part.

Ling Chao didn't expect Gu Yuan to mention Gu Qingqing.He knew how important Qingqing was to Gu Yuan, and he could still vividly remember how Gu Yuan was in the hospital when Qingqing rescued her last time.He uses Qingqing to persuade himself not to change his original intention, which shows that he regards himself as important as Qingqing.For those who are important to him, he hopes that they can live out their own lives.

While kissing, Ling Chao was still thinking about what good thing he had done so that he could meet this baby in his arms.

Ling Chao reluctantly let go of him until the two of them were almost out of breath. They were head to head, and the sound of each other's heavy breathing did not subside for a long time.

"Baby... For the rest of your life," Ling Chao's hoarse voice was interrupted by rough panting, he rubbed the tip of Gu Yuan's nose lightly, "Don't even think about running away."

"Okay, don't run away." Gu Yuan pecked at his mouth and said.

It was as if a fire was burning in Ling Chao's body, he didn't dare to look into Gu Yuan's eyes anymore, he simply missed his head and hugged Gu Yuan, lying on his shoulder.

Gu Yuan's ear was right next to Ling Chao's neck, and the beating heartbeat vibrated the eardrum.He could clearly feel Ling Chao's undulating body, as well as the scorching temperature where the skin touched.

This hug lasted for a long time, and Ling Chao let him go only after the fruit tea on the coffee table had faded from heat to lukewarm.

Ling Chao, who had calmed down, rubbed Gu Yuan's hair and asked, "Do you want to go back to see grandma during the holiday?"

"I won't go back, anyway, I will be on vacation soon." Gu Yuan said.

"Oh, how is Qingqing doing recently?" Ling Chao asked.

"The past few months have been good. The last surgery should have been done pretty well." Gu Yuan said.

"Is that..." Ling Chao didn't know what to say. Gu Yuan had said before that it was impossible for Gu Qingqing to fully recover from his illness.

"I don't know," Gu Yuan shook his head, he understood what Ling Chao wanted to say, smiled and continued: "Fate, she told me two days ago that I would go back and take her to play in the snow when I was on vacation. It's too cold now, and she hasn't been out for a long time."

"When I become an adult next year and get my driver's license, let's drive and take her out together," Ling Chao said.

"Okay." Gu Yuan replied.

"By the way," Ling Chao suddenly patted Gu Yuan, "I suddenly remembered that I still don't know when your birthday is!"

"Ah?" Gu Yuan was startled, almost jumped up, "My birthday, October NO.20."

"What?" Ling Chao looked at him with wide eyes, "Why didn't you say that?"
