Fork in the road

Bai Xiaoyuan felt nothing when it was said to be "the result of impulsiveness", but now he is a little angry.Without even thinking about it, he asked, "Why do you think I don't love you?" Why should he blame him for this!

"Sorry, I said it wrong, it's not 'not in love', but not that much love."

Bai Xiaoyuan heard a "crack" on the other end, and then Bai Xinhong sighed. He thought it was his mother's sad part, unable to restrain the rushing emotions in her heart, so she lit a cigarette.

So, why do you want to draw such a strange conclusion without authorization... Bai Xiaoyuan frowned and sighed, and said helplessly: "Mom, I don't know why you have such an idea, but I have to say, you This is completely nonsense, okay? How can I love?" Bai Xiaoyuan felt a little embarrassed to directly say the word "love", but at this time he was in a hurry to defend himself, so he didn't care about it It's embarrassing.

"It's not that you don't love your parents enough because of resentment, but that our family situation is destined to only love you so much. This level is enough. I don't need you to like me too much. Anyway, I can't be like others. My mother raised you like a sweetheart." Bai Xinhong explained, "I'm surprised that you don't hate me, but it's even more difficult for you to like me, which shows that you have a good heart."

What a strange family it must be to attribute the son's liking to his mother to the son's good heart...

The kind-hearted Bai Xiaoyuan was very dazed and puzzled.He just asked a question that had been buried in his heart for many years, and he didn't expect the topic to go in such a strange direction.

He didn't make any further excuses, and after saying goodbye, he hung up the phone, and fell down on the bed in a relaxed mood.

The reason why he didn't defend himself was because he felt that Bai Xinhong's subsequent explanation was correct.With the way he gets along with his family, there is really no way to love back and forth.There is family affection, and it doesn't matter if the way of expressing it is different, right?

Although he was distracted by the following topic, Bai Xiaoyuan still remembered the main purpose of his phone call.He thought about it for a while, and felt that when he usually went to Yu Xian's house, no matter how he looked at it, he would think it was a happy family.

It's really not polite to speculate about other people's family problems behind their backs like this.Bai Xiaoyuan scratched at his hair, smacked his lips, turned over and lay on the bed, thinking that no matter how good the relationship is, we still need to pay attention to the proportion of communication.

Although it is true that Bai Xiaoyuan is very concerned about Yu Xian, but whether his parents are fighting or something else, Bai Xiaoyuan feels that he should not take the initiative to ask.If Yu Xian is willing to confide in him, Bai Xiaoyuan is happy to share the troubles of the other party, but if Yu Xian is not willing to talk, Bai Xiaoyuan can't make random guesses behind his back or keep asking.

He feels that this is the respect that must be had in dealing with people.

After that, Bai Xiaoyuan still went to Yu Xian's house to do homework together according to the previous frequency - just wishing to go every day.Bai Xiaoyuan finished the homework of other subjects long ago, but left five essays in Chinese, Bai Xiaoyuan has been too lazy to do it all the time, and would rather do other papers that he prepared than finish the remaining summer homework.

There is less than a week before the school starts, and the school starts early to make up classes. Their second year of high school starts earlier than the first year of high school who needs military training.

This afternoon, Bai Xiaoyuan arrived at Yu Xian's house on time, and as soon as he sat down, he took out a notebook, put it on the table, and said solemnly: "I'm going to start writing."

Yu Xian applauded him insincerely.

Bai Xiaoyuan was tense for a while, and then he lost his shape immediately, and said with a smile: "School starts in a few days, and I won't come here after that. I want to 'let go' for a few days, so today I have to do my composition. Finish it." He was a little more serious, "Otherwise, no one will accompany me to do my homework after this, and I definitely don't want to do it."

"Finish writing today? Are you going to write five articles in one go?" Yu Xian looked at Bai Xiaoyuan rather speechlessly.

"That's right! It's just one o'clock now, and even one essay for the exam will take less than an hour, so it's absolutely no problem to finish five essays in one afternoon!"

"Come on." Although he said so, Yu Xian's expression completely meant "I'll watch you play tricks to death".

When writing the end of the first article, Bai Xiaoyuan let out a weird "hehehe" laugh; when he began to write the second article, Bai Xiaoyuan couldn't help turning his pen for a long time; He started scratching his hair; when he turned a new page, Bai Xiaoyuan couldn't help but went to the toilet, and sat alone on the unopened toilet to let it go for 5 minutes; when writing the title of the fifth composition, Bai Xiaoyuan Xiao Yuan couldn't help but lay down on the table and moaned.

Yu Xian did physics all afternoon, and he had already started to rest at this time.Sitting across the table, he first inserted the bookmark into the novel he was reading, and after closing the book, he comforted Bai Xiaoyuan sincerely: "It's only the last one, you just grit your teeth and pass it—to be honest , I’m already surprised that you can write so many, and I think you will go crazy after writing the third one.”

"If I grit my teeth and write, my teeth will rot before I finish this article..." Bai Xiaoyuan let out a long sigh, until Yu Xian felt that Bai Xiaoyuan was going to die, he coughed After a few clicks, he slowly got up and began to write in pain and hatred.

"Looking at your expression, it's hard for me to believe that the materials given in the fifth composition are the top ten people who moved China."

"I've tried very hard to control my expression, and don't accept complaints."

Yu Xian'an is quiet, he can wait until Bai Xiaoyuan finishes writing.

In the middle of writing, Bai Xiaoyuan said in a lifeless voice: "I think I'm going crazy... no, I'm going to die."

"Don't die in my house, I can't explain it."

"If you want to die, you have to pull a back. When the time comes, we will say that the two of us died for love."

"I don't want to die in love with someone who was forced to die by composition."

The topic returned to the composition, and Bai Xiaoyuan, who was reminded, felt wronged and continued to write.

After being speechless for a while, Yu Xian was completely absorbed in the story of the novel in his hand.He was about to turn a page when there was a bang, which startled him.

Bai Xiaoyuan closed the book again and howled with tears in his eyes: "It's finally finished!" Feeling the coffee table under his hand tremble, he immediately raised his hand cautiously, and said to Yu Xian: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. In a moment of excitement, I hurt your small coffee table..."

"It's okay, I forgive you instead."

Bai Xiaoyuan packed up her homework with ease, put her schoolbag on her back, got up and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back, what are you going to do for dinner?"

"My parents will be back soon."

Bai Xiaoyuan's expression was shocked, and the movements of his hands were a little faster, "Then I will leave immediately, otherwise Auntie will definitely keep me for dinner."

Facts proved that Bai Xiaoyuan's guess was right.Fortunately, he had already walked downstairs at that time. If it was at the door, the enthusiastic Hu Yue would definitely have to push it back through the door even if he tried to push it.He smiled and called his uncle and aunt, and hurried home.

After he got home, he couldn't help but think back to the scene when he met Yu Xian's parents just now. Both of them were smiling. Aunt Hu tried to persuade him to go upstairs for dinner, but Uncle Yu had no room to intervene.After being rejected by Bai Xiaoyuan, Aunt Hu gouged out Uncle Yu's eyes with some complaints, and Uncle Yu could only shrug helplessly.

Bai Xiaoyuan never imagined that he could have such a family, but he felt that such a scene really looked harmonious and beautiful.In such a situation, Yu Xian's worries should be unfounded, and Bai Xiaoyuan felt even more ashamed of his previous groundless guesses.

In the few days before the start of school, Bai Xiaoyuan didn't do anything serious, and went to Lu Yanwu's to attend class every day.

Lu Yanwu still knew what Lu Shaoguang told Bai Xiaoyuan during the winter vacation.Originally, after a semester, Bai Xiaoyuan had already put his heart in his stomach, but who knew that Lu Shaoguang had another incident about drinking coffee and forgetting to bring his wallet. It was quite malicious to come to chat with Bai Xiaoyuan.

Bai Xiaoyuan felt that Lu Shaoguang didn't help him cover it up at all, and definitely told her brother everything about the past like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Bai Xiaoyuan didn't feel guilty anymore, anyway, Lu Yanwu knew about it, didn't he?He said quite calmly: "I don't think this has anything to do with me. If you want to be sad, it should be those little girls in the class."

"Don't you feel disgusted or scared? After all, I like the same sex." Lu Yanwu spoke lightly, as if he was just joking, but the emotion in his eyes was very calm.

"Why are you afraid?" Bai Xiaoyuan was a little bit dumbfounded, "I don't have the confidence that you can look at me."

There was a little smile in Lu Yanwu's eyes, and he leaned his back against the wall and said, "That's not necessarily true." He looked Bai Xiaoyuan up and down, "You have to have confidence in yourself, huh?"

Bai Xiaoyuan pretended to be serious, "Brother Lu, I only read sage books now, regardless of gender, I have to wait until graduation."

Lu Yanwu raised her eyebrows, "Regardless of gender?"

Bai Xiaoyuan blinked, "Is there any problem? Waiting until graduation doesn't mean you will definitely accept after graduation." He tidied up his water bottle and clothes, stood up, "By the way, Brother Lu, don't tell me what you said today. Your sister, I think she has recently deeply suspected that I am gay, and if she hears what I say, she will be sure to close the coffin."

"Aren't you?"

Bai Xiaoyuan heard Lu Yanwu's words when he walked to the door, and jumped up like a furry cat, "Of course not! My love is very extensive!" After speaking, he couldn't help laughing, and ran down upstairs.

The day of school starts in a blink of an eye.

The first monthly exam still follows the usual practice, and there are many questions in the summer homework in the exam questions.

Because the ranking of this exam is separated by arts and sciences, Bai Xiaoyuan was ranked in the top [-] immediately. He was a little happy just now, but when he saw Yu Xian's ranking, he was immediately surprised.

Yu Xian's ranking did not rise but fell, and he was barely stuck within the three hundredth place.

After Bai Xiaoyuan thought about it, he went directly to ask Yu Xian.Nothing is best, if something really happens, he hopes he can help share it.

Yu Xian doesn't think there is anything bothering him recently, so if he has to say...

"Recently my parents have been arguing and sometimes it wakes me up."

Bai Xiaoyuan thought for a moment: "Why don't I give you a pair of earplugs?"

Yu Xian looked at Bai Xiaoyuan helplessly.

"Maybe it will work... But why are uncles and aunts arguing? Last time I saw them, they were very affectionate."

"All kinds of small things, quarreling endlessly."

Bai Xiaoyuan thought for a while, but still didn't say Bai Xinhong's words, but asked: "By the way, the previous matter is all right? Shouldn't Auntie be happy for a while after receiving the packing?"

Yu Xian's face was a little heavy, "No."

"No? Yes... which one doesn't?"

"My dad didn't give my mom anything."
