rush to score

Since returning to China and being suspended, Liang Xi no longer has to think about training and competition. Liang Xi sleeps until the sun rises every day, which seems to be a bit of an illusion that he has stolen half a day of leisure.

It snowed a few days ago, and there were a few hungry sparrows chirping outside the window. The apartment that Liang Xi rented was an old building. Although the environment and facilities were good, the radiators were in disrepair for many years, and no matter how hot they were, they would not be hot .

Liang Xi was wearing a blanket, and walked slowly to the calendar to look around, and finally his eyes stayed on February [-]st.

On the first day of the second month of the Gregorian calendar, what is written in the small characters on the lower row happens to be the first day of the lunar calendar.

A few days ago, Liang's mother called and said that there was no problem with his father's reexamination, and he has basically recovered now. After speaking, she wished Liang Xi a happy birthday in advance.

"This year's birthday just coincides with the first day of the Lunar New Year. It's auspicious." Perhaps because her husband's health has improved, Fu Huiya's voice on the phone sounded a lot more cheerful, "I heard Xiaobai say before that we have I have entered the national team, and I am preparing to participate in this year's World Championships...how is your performance in the team, and did you make the coach angry?"

Liang Xi was silent on the phone for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses until Liang's mother asked again: "Ah, it's pretty good..."

If it was in the past, Liang Xi would take the initiative to talk about fencing with his family without anyone asking.

Perhaps it was the mentality of the rebellious youth, the more his family blocked him from going this way, the more he would do it the other way around, the kind that would not bring him back even if his head was broken and bloody.Therefore, as long as you make some achievements in that meeting, no matter how big or small, you must tell your family all about it.

As if to say, look, I can get what I want by myself, and I don't need adults to nagging those outdated truths.

Under the embarrassing situation of being suspended, he was unable to speak any more. Even after rounds of questioning by the investigators sent by the Sword Association, Liang Xi was a little dazed by the questions.

Once he was very sure about his future, he was sure that he would stand on the podium and hold up the gold medal that symbolizes the supreme glory under the watchful eyes of tens of millions of spectators.

but now……

He talked to Fu Huiya about the newly moved apartment, the recent changes in Boping, and the university she used to work in, but he didn't talk about fencing.

Perhaps it was the distance across the ocean that made the mother and son seem closer on the phone. Fu Huiya had a gentle chat with him for a long time, and even asked about his son's love life for the first time.

"How are you and Xiaobai?"

Liang Xi didn't quite understand, so he said, "It's pretty good, his sister was discharged from the hospital a month ago, and we made an appointment for dinner."

"See you once a month? Oh, is this how young people fall in love nowadays? Year after year, it's not that mom is nagging you again, but since you want to settle down, you have to at least look good, even though you usually train busy……"

"Mom." Liang Xi couldn't help interrupting, "Who told you that Bai Xuzhou and I were in a relationship?"

"Hey, you..." The woman hesitated on the other end of the phone for a long time, as if she didn't know what to say, showing a little helplessness.

Liang Xi sighed, wondering if it was because of a misunderstanding that Bai Xuzhou went to Bujinweito with him last time, and explained seriously: "I didn't fall in love with Bai Xuzhou, we are just...friends."

"But, but don't you like other boys?"

"Homosexuality doesn't mean you just like a guy. We also have boy friends, just ordinary friends, nothing else." Liang Xi doesn't blame her for thinking this way, most of the previous generation was like this.

They don't know much about this group, but they still like to speculate about it.

There are no homosexuals around, so if you want to know more, you just hear it, add fuel to the crazy rumors, and in the end you look like a monster.

There was a lot of noise when she came out of the closet, but now the two sides are calm, Liang Xi tries to understand the mindset of her parents, and as a parent, Fu Huiya is at least knowledgeable and educated, and she is also trying to re-understand her son's world.

Since Liang Xi came out of the closet, Liang's father and Liang's mother have found a lot of information about homosexuality in books and the Internet. It is difficult to change the concept of decades, but they are not as avoiding as snakes and scorpions as before.

Even if there are things that I don't understand enough, Liang Xi doesn't mind explaining bit by bit.

Fu Huiya listened to his explanation on the other end of the phone, answered "um" and "oh", then brought the topic back to Liang Xi's love life, and asked him, even if he wasn't in love with Bai Xuzhou, did he talk to anyone else.

"If you're in love, no matter what kind of young man you are, bring it back for us to have a look." Fu Huiya said firmly.

Liang Xi's tone was helpless: "Mom, I didn't..."

He was a little stuck, and couldn't say the phrase "I'm not in love".

He thought of Lu Mingchuan, of the flowers and all kinds of desserts he sent to the apartment these days, and of him lying next to Liang Xi's ear and saying "Why don't you give it a try", like a singer who can sing in the sea Siren, full of allure, but also enough to bewitch people.

Liang Xi has liked him for so long, it would be a lie to say that he is not tempted at all, only a little remaining reason is desperately dragging him to the shore.

Love wears away with time, giving birth to a certain sense of distrust, as if being hit in the face by a big cake falling from the sky-first think about where this piece of cake comes from, whether it can be eaten, and what will happen if you eat it ... and so on, in short, I can't simply enjoy the happiness brought by a piece of cake, but fall into a mood of worry.

Moreover, it is almost certain that Lu Mingchuan is bisexual, at least not a natural gay, who had the opportunity to live a so-called "normal life".

Agreeing to fall in love with him is tantamount to dragging someone into the water, unless Liang Xi is naive to the point of heartless, otherwise he can't accept Lu Mingchuan's love show without any burden.

He told the other party his thoughts frankly, but Lu Mingchuan seemed to be relieved instead.

"I almost thought it was because I kept you waiting for too long, and you don't like me anymore." This was aggrieved, a bit deliberate, "As long as you like it, it's okay to say it, because we will be together for a long time in the future, you have It can be considered clearly for a long time.”

Liang Xi was half laughing at himself and half teasing: "Then maybe one day you will fall in love with another girl, and then you will be a couple again. I don't want to wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years."

"No." Lu Mingchuan shook his head and said seriously, "If you don't think clearly, we will maintain this relationship for the rest of our lives. I don't like anyone, so don't look at others too much, okay?"

"You mean to let me chase you for the rest of my life and still not be able to eat it, but you have a good idea..."

"Yes, thank you, you might as well be with me now."

That person's fallacies and heresies are always the same, and Liang Xi can't talk to him, so he can only change the topic of "avoiding war to protect oneself".

Later, Lu Mingchuan said that he hoped to spend this year's Spring Festival together. Liang Xi thought about it, and since he had nothing to worry about in Boping, he agreed.

"I'm going back to the old house on New Year's Eve, and then I'll come to your house to see you on New Year's Eve." Lu Mingchuan said in a nonchalant way, and he didn't know if it was specially arranged for Liang Xi's birthday.

Liang Xi didn't expose him, but just agreed.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he would be unable to contact that person no matter what, and Lu Mingchuan seemed to disappear out of thin air...
