There is a breeze in long summer

Xia Yiqun was driving on the way from Jiangbei Airport to his grandparents' house.

It was a rare time for Xia Yiqun's parents to return to China, and it was a domestic holiday, so his grandparents called Xia Yiqun to return to Jiangbei for a family reunion.

Even Xia Yuhui, who usually never sees the end of the dragon, agreed to go back to his hometown.He had more free time and arrived two days earlier than Xia Yiqun.

The mobile phone prompts that there is a text message.Xia Yiqun opened it and saw that there were only three words "Are you here?" without even punctuation marks, making it difficult to fathom the sender's feelings.

Xia Yiqun didn't care what kind of feelings the sender had towards him, after he reported his plan to return to Jiangbei during the holidays, he was overjoyed that the other party could send these three words before his plane landed soon.

Compared with the dull content of that letter, Xia Yiqun's replies can be described as rich and colorful.First he complained that the plane was two hours late, and then he talked about the rapid urban development in Jiangbei.After typing a long paragraph, I checked it twice, and then confirmed that the contact person was Lin Changqing, and then I pressed "Send".

After posting, Xia Yiqun immediately regretted it.After receiving the message from Lin Changqing, he was overjoyed and happy, and replied a bunch of things, but forgot to end with a question sentence at the end.At least ask Lin Changqing how his vacation is arranged, or what he is doing now.If you don't ask anything, the text message you just sent will definitely disappear.

Sure enough, the phone stopped moving.

Xia Yiqun didn't dare to send another message right away because he was afraid that Lin Changqing would be annoyed, and he didn't dare to call rashly, otherwise Lin Changqing would say "don't call if you have nothing to do".

Since he was taken care of by Lin Changqing when he was ill that day, Lin Changqing's attitude towards Xia Yiqun seemed to have softened a lot, so Xia Yiqun still had a little bit of expectation, hoping that Lin Changqing would reply to him.

In this way, Xia Yiqun kept checking the phone for any new short messages along the way, and couldn't stop.Until he knocked on the door of his grandparents' house, Xia Yiqun was still focused on his mobile phone, and he didn't even notice that he rushed to his mother as soon as the door opened.

"Xiao Qun!" Ye Jingning hugged her youngest son tightly.

Xia Yiqun was not on guard and was almost thrown down.Fortunately, he quickly stabilized his figure and gave his mother a big hug: "Mom, I'm back."

Ye Jingning was originally a straightforward person, and she had been stationed abroad with her husband Xia Hanzhang for many years, and many of her behaviors were influenced by foreign customs.Xia Yiqun has been with his parents since he was a child, and every time his parents go back to the country for vacation, the first thing Ye Jingning does when seeing her sons is to embrace them in her arms, she is very enthusiastic and unrestrained.When Xia Yiqun was young, he was not used to his mother's style, but as he grew older, he gradually got used to it.

Ye Jingning grabbed Xia Yiqun, looked him up and down, and came to a conclusion: "You're a little fatter than when I saw you last time."

Then immediately added: "Whether fat or thin, you are the most handsome in my mother's heart!"

Xia Yiqun laughed, he had a good temper, he stood there and let his mother rub him repeatedly.Ye Jingning also likes her youngest son to be obedient, unlike her eldest son, who deviated from the norms since he was a child. Now that he has become a director, his fame has grown, and his airs have become more and more arrogant. If she asks a few more questions, she will show a face of reluctance. expression, let alone hug him.

Xia Hanzhang came out from the kitchen with two steaming dishes, and seeing his wife only stopped Xia Yiqun at the door, he said angrily, "Haha, Jing Ning, my son hasn't even put down his luggage yet, let him in first."

"Dad." Xia Yiqun shouted.

"Change quickly and get ready for dinner! I'll be waiting for you." Xia Hanzhang put the plate on the dining table, "I know you're back, your grandma is cooking a full banquet. Look at this braised pork!"

Xia Yiqun responded, greeted Xia Yuhui who was smoking on the balcony, and went up to the second floor with his luggage.

At the dinner table, when Xia Yiqun looked under the table for the third time, Xia Hanzhang felt that it was inappropriate to be so unruly at the dinner table in front of the elders, so he cleared his throat and reminded: "Xiaoqun, eat honestly, don't always It's playing with a mobile phone. ——You didn't have this problem before, did you?"

Grandma is the most indulgent grandson, defending Xia Yiqun in front of Xia Hanzhang: "Let him go, he is old now, and he has his own things to do."

"Mom..." Xia Hanzhang was about to argue, but Ye Jingning patted his arm. He immediately understood and stopped talking.

Ye Jingning signaled her husband not to take this matter too seriously, while she shook her head, pretending to peek at Xia Yiqun's phone, and deliberately asked her son, "Look at your restless look, are you in a relationship?"

"En." Xia Yiqun nodded.

How dare you speak.

Xia Yuhui heard the conversation between his mother and his younger brother, and he tightened his fingers holding the chopsticks, his palms were slightly sweaty.

"Oh? I guessed it right?" Ye Jingning immediately became interested.

Ever since Wu Zhen took the photo to test Xia Yiqun that day, Xia Yiqun realized that sooner or later people would know about his pursuit of Lin Changqing.After repeated consideration, Xia Yiqun felt that it was better to confess the matter on his own initiative than to pass it on to his family through other people's mouths after the trouble was known to everyone.If the family can understand, even if the matter is made public in the future, at least he can still get the support and encouragement from his close relatives; even if the family can't understand, it is better for him to speak out on his own initiative than outsiders' gossip.

When he was determined to get along with Wen Qiu seriously, Xia Yiqun chose to give up studying abroad, which changed the course of his life.After reuniting with Lin Changqing who is actually Wen Qiu, Xia Yiqun doesn't mind re-planning his life for him again.Although they still have many misunderstandings that have not been solved, at least from the current point of view, Lin Changqing's attitude seems to be undergoing a slight change.And it was such an insignificant change that gave Xia Yiqun great hope and gave him enough courage to admit to his family that he liked men.

In fact, Xia Yiqun considered far more than this: just because it is still uncertain how his family members will react to this matter, even if Lin Changqing has reconciled with him now, Xia Yiqun will not rush until his family cannot fully accept it. Bring Lin Changqing in front of his family and let him bear the storm that he didn't need to go through.In the farther future, more people will know about their affairs, and Xia Yiqun has decided to face all the pressure by himself.

Lin Changqing had suffered too much unfair treatment from here, Xia Yiqun was reluctant to let him suffer any more grievances, no matter whether the grievances came from relatives, friends or strangers.

Xia Yiqun was brewing his emotions, but Ye Jingning's heart of gossip could no longer be restrained.Seeing that Xia Yiqun didn't open his mouth, he turned his head and asked Xia Yuhui, "Xiaohui, do you know the inside story? Call me quickly!"

"How would I know? Even if I knew, it would be better to ask him about this kind of thing." Xia Yuhui smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly pretended to be eating rice.

Grandma was naturally even more curious about her grandson's relationship issues, and followed her daughter-in-law to ask Xia Yiqun: "Xiaoqun, tell grandma, whose little girl do you like?"

Xia Yiqun took a deep breath and replied, "It's not a little girl."

"Isn't it a little girl? Is it older than you?" Grandma obviously didn't realize it. "It doesn't matter if you are a little older. A third-year girl holds a golden brick."

Xia Yuhui originally thought that Xia Yiqun would fool him, but Xia Yiqun's tone turned out to be telling the truth.Before he had time to kick his brother under the table to remind him not to talk nonsense, Xia Yiqun opened his mouth first and said loudly: "Grandma, I like a boy."

"Damn it!" Xia Yuhui cursed in a low voice, caught off guard, choked a mouthful of rice into it, and coughed loudly.

However, Xia Yuhui's commotion couldn't cover up the facts that Xia Yiqun just said.He spoke clearly, and everyone at the dinner table could hear him clearly.

Grandma was the first to get anxious: "Xiaoqun, don't joke with grandma..."

"Grandma, I'm not joking with you. I really fell in love with a boy, and I will be with him for the rest of my life." Xia Yiqun's attitude was very firm.

"Mom, mom! Don't worry, don't worry!" Ye Jingning knew that the old lady had high blood pressure. Seeing that Grandma Xia's complexion was not good, she hurried over to support the old lady, stroked her back, and comforted her one by one.

"Keep your mouth shut!" Xia Hanzhang angrily said, "Do you have to say such a thing when the whole family is having dinner? Didn't you see that grandma was so angry!"

Grandpa Xia who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly opened his mouth: "Yiqun, you were the most obedient since you were young, how could you do such a thing? Tell me, have you been kidnapped by someone? Let me tell you, if you look back now In time."

"Grandpa, I want to like him myself, no one forced me. Besides, this is not an evil way. I didn't steal or rob, and I didn't hinder others." Xia Yiqun's tone was still calm.

Mr. Xia was born in a soldier, and he has a set of inherent rules of conduct. He thinks he has been a soldier for half his life, and he behaves well and sits upright.What he said just now was trying to induce Xia Yiqun to change his mind, but Xia Yiqun actually acted as if he didn't like anything.

Unable to suppress his anger any longer, Grandpa Xia threw the bowl on the table, startling everyone present.

"Dad!" "Dad!" Xia Hanzhang and his wife discouraged with one voice.

"You two don't interfere. This child has been raised by your mother and me since he was a child, and now he is crooked. It is father who is sorry for you. This child should be taught by me!" The old man stood up with a cane, " Xiaoqun, follow me to the study!"

Seeing grandpa standing up, the others didn't dare to sit, so they hurriedly stood up too.

There was no way this meal was going to be good.

Xia Yiqun followed his grandfather into the study room, and he didn't know what happened inside. He could only hear Grandpa Xia's scolding, the sound of cups breaking, and the sound of knocking.

Although Grandpa Xia was over seventy years old, he was in good spirits. Hearing this news, Xia Yiqun might have been punished by his family.After playing for a long time, Grandma Xia couldn't sit still, put aside her grandson's liking for men for now, took Ye Jingning's hand, and said tremblingly: "Little Ning, I can't stop Lao Xia, You ask Hanzhang to bring him a cup of tea, persuade him a little bit, and tell him not to break our little group."

Xia Hanzhang was pacing up and down the living room with his hands on his hips at this time, and when he heard what his mother said, he immediately expressed his disapproval: "Mom, just ask Dad to teach him a lesson. It's too petty to contradict the elders like this. I think he just needs cleaning up!"

Grandma Xia was in a hurry: "You and your father are just as virtuous!"

Ye Jingning glared at Xia Hanzhang, warning him not to add fuel to the fire, and then said softly to her mother-in-law: "Mom, why don't I go and persuade her."

"Hey, Xiao Ning, you go, you go." Before Grandma Xia finished her sentence, the door of the study opened.

Xia Yiqun limped out, obviously hurting his leg.When he walked into the living room, everyone realized that even his face was painted, and his forehead was bruised and purple.

Grandpa Xia followed behind, with anger still on his face.The wounds on Xia Yiqun's body were all caused by him using a red sandalwood walking stick.After all, he was getting old, and he felt exhausted after beating for a while. Who would have thought that the child just knelt in the middle of the room, resigned to the beating and scolding, and never even bent his straight back. He was extremely stiff, just like when he was young. of myself.In the end, the old man was [-]% angry and [-]% sympathetic, so he simply threw away his crutches and asked Xia Yiqun to go back to his room to think about it, and then talk when he has figured it out.

Seeing her grandson being beaten like this, Grandma Xia immediately jumped up: "You bad old man! Think of Xiaoqun as your soldiers? How could you hit such a heavy hand? Ah? What did you let Hanzhang and the others do?" think!"

Seeing her son being beaten, Ye Jingning was naturally heartbroken, but she still hurriedly brought the brewed tea to her father-in-law: "Dad, don't get so angry. Now, this is the new tea that Hanzhang brought back for you. Are you the latest tea?" Do you like Guapian? Hurry up and taste it."

"Grandma, don't be angry." Xia Yuhui saw Xia Yiqun coming out of the study, put out the cigarette, came in from the balcony, put down the ashtray, and tried to help grandma sit back on the sofa.

Seeing Xia Yiqun's face covered with injuries, grandma would not sit down, so she quickly pulled Xia Yiqun to her side to have a look: "Little Qun, does it hurt? Where are you hurt? Let grandma take a look."

Xia Yiqun shook his head.

"You said it didn't hurt, look, the corners of your mouth are torn." Grandma Xia sighed, "What a foolish child! Just listen to grandma, find a little girl, get married when she is old, and have a baby. Ah. Why bother to like boys? When the time comes, you won’t be poked in the back by others? Just promise grandma? Ah?”

Xia Yiqun felt pain all over his body when he moved a little now, and grinned at grandma with a grin: "Grandma, I don't want to find any little girl. I only like him, and I can't live without him."

"Then you can make your grandparents so sad, and make the whole family worry about you for an outsider? Put the cart before the horse!" Xia Hanzhang has never been angry with his children, and even now, he can maintain his demeanor and reason with Xia Yiqun, but how much more You can still hear the dissatisfaction in his tone.

"No matter what you say, I don't agree with this matter anyway!" Grandpa took a sip of tea and made a conclusion on this matter.

"I……"

Originally thinking that he had explained clearly enough to his grandfather just now, Xia Yiqun wanted to argue, but when he looked up, he saw his mother shaking his head slightly to him.

He finally chose to remain silent.

During the perfect holiday, the family was disturbed and broke up.Xia Yiqun felt that he couldn't stay in Jiangbei, so he changed his flight and returned to Shanghai the next day.

Xia Yuhui drove and went with his mother to see Xia Yiqun off.Arriving at the airport, it was still early, and the mother and son were sitting in the coffee shop chatting.

Ye Jingning said earnestly to her youngest son: "Xiaoqun, your father and I have been abroad for so many years, and we can understand homosexuality. But it doesn't mean that we support you. You can cite one There are a lot of countries where homosexuals can legally register for marriage, but what you have to face is the domestic environment. In this society, everyone’s general understanding of homosexuality is insufficient, so this is a A very difficult path."

Xia Yiqun didn't sleep well all night, so he replied sleepily: "I know."

"No, you don't know." Ye Jingning said with certainty, "You haven't encountered any real difficulties yet. Grandpa beat you up, you feel very hurt, don't you? When everyone around you criticizes you, because you When you like a man but reject you or even insult you, you will know that those injuries to your soul are a thousand times more painful than the injuries on your body now, and may cause you pain for a lifetime. By that time , are you sure you can still bear it?"

"Mom, I have thought about everything you said, and I am mentally prepared." Xia Yiqun said earnestly, "Compared to losing the person I love, the pain you mentioned is really nothing. Really. "

Ye Jingning continued to reason: "Even if you are mentally prepared, what about the person you like? Are you sure that he will not be hurt? Can he endure these injuries like you? If he can't bear it one day, why I have abandoned you, what are you going to do?"

"Mom, I love him. I don't know if he will be hurt, but I will do my best to protect him and avoid that harm to the greatest extent. I am not afraid that he will abandon me, but I cannot abandon him." Xia Yiqun's eyes were red as he spoke.In fact, he was the one who abandoned Wen Qiu back then, and he never wanted to experience that heart-wrenching regret again.Now that he has the opportunity to keep Lin Changqing by his side, Xia Yiqun has already made up his mind, even if Lin Changqing abandons him for any reason, he will never be the one to let go anyway.

After hearing Xia Yiqun's words from the bottom of his heart, Ye Jingning lamented how time flies and his son has grown into such a responsible man.I was relieved, but I couldn't bear it after all, so I left the seat temporarily under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Xia Yuhui watched his mother go away, then turned his head and asked Xia Yiqun, "It's just because of that... what's it called... Lin Changqing, right? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Xia Yiqun didn't expect that Ye Jingning's side would come to an end, and his twin brother would continue to educate him, and his spirit became even more listless.

Xia Yuhui seemed to have a telepathic connection with Xia Yiqun, and said "I'll do it for myself", and quickly ended the brotherly conversation.But he still couldn't understand this younger brother: Is it really worth it for Lin Changqing to have a complete stalemate with the family?

When he looked up at Xia Yiqun again, he was looking at the short message on the phone screen with a slight smile.From last night to now, Xia Yuhui had never seen Xia Yiqun have such a relaxing moment.He was a little surprised, and asked casually, "Who is it? Lin Changqing?"

"En." Xia Yiqun responded hastily.

Before going out in the morning, Xia Yi sent a text message telling Lin Changqing that he would return to Shanghai early, and Lin Changqing replied: "Come back so soon? Didn't you say you would go back for three days?"

Just such an ordinary question, Xia Yiqun's heart was greatly healed.

Seeing that Xia Yiqun didn't raise his head, and only focused on replying to text messages, Xia Yuhui thought, just a text message is so attractive to Xia Yiqun. In Xia Yiqun's heart, this person's treatment may almost catch up with Wen Qiu's. .

Wen Qiu?

Xia Yuhui thought, if he really is such a person, maybe it is really worth it for Xia Yiqun to do this, right?
