Seventh time

The holidays are over and the two go back to school together.

Xia Lingchuan kept sending An Xin downstairs to the dormitory, and said casually, "Why don't you stay in the dormitory, anyway, my place is so close to the school."

"Don't make trouble," An Xin smiled and took his own luggage in his hand, "How about keeping a low profile as agreed?"

"Low-key? I don't know who shouted so loudly at sea..." Xia Lingchuan raised his eyebrows.

"No one knows us there... It's different when we come back."

Xia Lingchuan didn't say anything else, he just fondled his hair, then turned and left.

"Goodbye, dear..." An Xin whispered to his back.

Xia Lingchuan stopped abruptly, turned his head and gave him a meaningful look, smiled softly, and waved to him.

No way, did you hear such a small voice?An Xin thought incredulously.

After returning to the dormitory to pack her things, and lying on the bed after taking a shower, Anxin took out her mobile phone, thought for a while, opened WeChat and sent Xia Lingchuan a message: "You won't hear what I said when you left, right?"

"I heard you." Xia Lingchuan replied almost instantly.

"Σ(°△°|||)︴No way! Did you hear the whisper?"

"^ω^ Baby, no matter how small your voice is, I can still hear it."

An Xin laughed out loud in the dormitory alone, hugging the simulated little teddy and rolling all over the bed.

After school started, everything went on as planned.

But just when An Xin thought that life would still go on in an orderly manner as before, some changes had quietly taken place without them noticing.

Neither An Xin nor Xia Lingchuan knew, but on their last night in Xiamen, a post went viral on an online forum.

The name of the post was "See you soon!The super-beautiful Xiaogong I saw on Gulangyu Island sings and expresses his sunshine and health!Super romantic! ", the post also included two well-taken photos, one was Xia Lingchuan playing the guitar and singing affectionately, and the other was the two of them embracing and kissing passionately.

The post became popular almost overnight, with over one million hits and thousands of comments within a few hours.

"Wow! It's so romantic! My little heart can't stand it!"

"Who the hell is going to serve up my high-end imported dog food...!"

"Fucking Xiaogong is so handsome! Fucking Xiaoshou is so handsome! Fucking, all the handsome guys in this world are with handsome guys!"

……

The comments were almost unanimously applauded, and some people said they couldn't stand it, saying that homosexuality was disgusting and indecent.But in an instant, everyone will scold him until he shuts up.

"Gays eating your rice? Confession at your door? Don't be too big..."

"Straight male cancer, the identification is complete."

"Hehehe, some straight dicks don't go out if they have nothing to do, they are too ugly and indecent."

……

In addition to these expressive comments, some people said they seemed to know the people in the photos.

"Hey, that little Gong looks familiar, he looks like me, a college teacher..."

"Damn it, you don't go to the same school as me upstairs, do you? I also feel like he is my teacher!"

"Which school do you two belong to upstairs! I'm going to watch..."

"To tell you the truth, I seem to know that shou...it seems to be a classmate in our class..."

"Fuck, are you still a teacher and a student?! Oh my god, I'm so impressed, please write the article!"

……

As the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, not to mention today's network communication is so developed.

So not long after, An Xin walked into the classroom, keenly aware that there was something strange in the atmosphere.

"Ahem... An Xin," Xiao Tang walked over and patted his shoulder, "Are you going to the toilet?"

Seeing Xiao Tang winking at him, An Xin paused, nodded, and walked out with Xiao Tang.

Arriving in a corner where no one was around, Xiao Tang said seriously, "Anxin, tell me, are you with Teacher Xia?"

An Xin froze for a moment, as if there was a thunderbolt in her head.

"What, what?"

"Okay, you don't need to be so evasive in front of me. You think we are all blind? I have already seen that something is wrong with you, but I have never had the nerve to ask you... just tell me, right?"

An Xin gritted her teeth, lowered her eyes and said, "Yes."

Xiao Tang sighed: "I said buddy, you are really awesome."

An Xin lowered her head and asked calmly, "Do they all know?"

"Lao Zhang and Xiao Wu both know that, after all, a brother who lives in a dormitory, even if he is not sensitive, he will not be so nervous... It's okay, An Xin, it's nothing we know, and you don't have to worry about us , no matter what happens, buddy will always be your buddy." Xiao Tang said solemnly, patting him on the shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tang would say such a thing, An Xin raised her head, with tears in her eyes, she was so moved that she didn't know what to say.

Xiao Tang punched him jokingly, and said with a smile, "I said yes, buddy, such a handsome guy, and a doctor of returnees... Tsk tsk, you've made a lot of money."

Only then did An Xin smile through her tears, and said "Thank you" in a low voice.

"However... the three of us don't have to worry about anything, but after all, the world is big and there are all kinds of people. You have to be prepared. You may meet many people in the future... how should I put it, people who don't understand you, anyway. I feel that it will be quite difficult... Not to mention the distance, right now, in our class, there should be a lot of knowledge..." Xiao Tang said slowly.

An Xin was taken aback: "Why..."

"Look at this..." Xiao Tang took out his mobile phone, opened a forum, and handed it to him.

An Xin took the phone and saw that eye-catching post, her nerves tensed up instantly, and then she felt a chill go down her spine.

"It's okay if it's just passed on among the students, but I'm afraid... some teachers, leaders, etc. in the school know that there may be some troubles at that time, you, you have to be mentally prepared."

An Xin returned the phone to him, and said calmly, "I know, don't worry."

Facts have proved that Xiao Tang's prediction is very accurate.

A few days later, someone came to inform An Xin, and Director Xia asked him to go to the office.

What should come will always come.

An Xin knocked on the office door nervously, but when she entered, she found only Director Xia was there. At this moment, she regretted why she didn't call Xia Lingchuan just now.

Director Xia waved to him calmly: "Come here."

When An Xin came over, Director Xia turned the computer screen to face him, and asked in a cold voice: "Is the person in this photo you?"

On the screen was the photo of him and Xia Lingchuan kissing on the beach of Gulangyu Island.

An Xin swallowed her saliva, and her mind began to spin rapidly about how to answer.

"Don't think about anything else, I know Xia Lingchuan even when he turned into ashes, you just need to tell me if this person is you."

Seeing that there was no other way out, An Xin gritted her teeth and replied, "Yes."

Director Xia rubbed his forehead with a headache, leaned back in the chair, and sighed, "You guys... are really... oh... what kind of evil did I create to have such a younger brother..."

"Director Xia..." An Xin looked at his expression and said cautiously, "We, we are sincere..."

Director Xia waved his hand: "Don't tell me what you young people do. I don't understand those things, and I know that you are all men. This alone makes it impossible."

An Xin's face turned pale, and just as she didn't know what to say, Director Xia's cell phone rang suddenly.

Director Xia picked up the phone.

"Hello? Grandma? Why did you call at this time... huh? You know everything? Xiao Chuan told you? Oh, you said Xiao Chuan..."

The grandma on the phone interrupted him involuntarily: "What's wrong with Xiaochuan? Xiaochuan is such a good boy, who does he like? Whoever he likes is my grandson. Don't point fingers at him. Xiaochuan is not easy. I have no parents since I was a child, and I look happy on the surface, but how can you know the pain in my heart? It is hard to find someone who can trust her sincerity. I don’t care if he is a man or a woman. As long as he treats Xiao Chuan well, I am happy. "

Director Xia was almost dumbfounded by these words, and after waiting for a long time, he said "Got it" and hung up the phone.

Although An Xin couldn't hear what the person on the phone said, she could guess something from Director Xia's words, and couldn't help being a little surprised and a little surprised.

Director Xia was quiet for a while, looked An Xin up and down carefully, sighed, and asked, "How long... have you been together?"

"120 a day." An Xin replied quietly but firmly.

Director Xia was stunned for a while, and after a long silence, he waved his hand tiredly: "Go back first."

An Xin couldn't wait for him to say this, so she nodded quickly, said "Goodbye, Director" hesitantly, then turned and left the office.

When the office door closed behind her, An Xin let out a long breath. She just took a few steps towards the stairs, and saw Xia Lingchuan standing at the corner leaning on the railing, with his hands in his pockets, his eyes smiling. look at him.

An Xin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly rushed over, hugged him tightly, buried her head in his arms, and said with a faint cry: "You know it all, right? You knew it a long time ago and didn't tell me! Scary!" I'm dead, do you know..."

Xia Lingchuan patted him on the back comfortingly.

"Ahem." Director Xia's unbearable cough sounded behind him.

An Xin got up quickly, her eyes were red, and she moved behind Xia Lingchuan in embarrassment.

Director Xia looked at the two of them seriously, especially at Xia Lingchuan, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaochuan, since grandma said so, then I won't say anything more, but I still want to remind you that this road, It's not easy to go, you have to think about whether you have the courage to face everything..."

"Don't worry, I'm prepared." Xia Lingchuan said very firmly.

"Don't be so full of words." Director Xia said coldly, "You don't have parents, but does he have them? Will his parents agree with you? If not, what should we do? Force him to die? Or let him live with his family? Cut off the relationship and live with you? Are you ready for these? "

After Director Xia finished speaking, without waiting for him to answer, he said "Think about it yourself", and then left without looking back.

Standing behind Xia Lingchuan, Anxin couldn't see his expression clearly. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, she couldn't help tugging at his arm worriedly: "Hey..."

Xia Lingchuan restrained his emotions, turned his head and smiled at him, said "Let's go", then took his hand and walked downstairs.

Although there was no one in the corridor at this time, this was the first time they held hands openly in the school, which made Anxin very excited, and quickly ignored Xia Lingchuan's strangeness just now.

That night, An Xin suddenly received a WeChat message from Xia Lingchuan before going to bed.

"An Xin, have you ever come out to your family?"

"Well... no..."

"Before, didn't they know?"

"qwq I don't know, he didn't let me tell anyone, and I broke up with him before I told my family..."

After waiting for a long time, Xia Lingchuan still hadn't replied, Anxin couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"(í_ì) Are you worried about this? Are you afraid they won't like you?"

"...a little bit."

"qwq, it's okay, don't worry so much... They are not fierce, and you are so good... Besides, you are with me, not with them... Anyway, we have to face it together no matter what Bar?"

"……Um."

Sitting alone in the dark, Xia Lingchuan put down his cell phone, walked to the French window, looked at the lights of thousands of houses in this city, with an indescribably lonely expression.

Can it really be done?If you can't get the approval of the family...

In the dark study room, facing An Xin's photo next to the computer, a photo frame placed on the bookshelf slightly reflected the light.In the photo frame is the only one in Xia Lingchuan's family, a photo of him and his parents.

In the photo, ten-year-old Xia Lingchuan is holding the hands of his parents with a bright smile.
