Until the end of that night, Xie Chuhong didn't get up from bed to eat dinner.

Zhou Shi slept in the study.

The study room used to be used by his parents for overtime work, but he didn't really treat it seriously, but now it is given to Xie Chuhong, and the overtime work place has been moved into the master bedroom.

The moonlight trickles in through the closed curtains, and a person lying on the bed can see the whole room clearly without moving the angle of view.

The blindingly white walls, tables, chairs, and bookshelves still maintain the original brilliance Xie Chuhong moved.Needless to say, his mother, even if he was allowed to look at it, it didn't look like someone had slept in this room at night.

Very quiet and deserted.

Thinking of his mother, Zhou Shi lay down on the bed as soon as he opened his eyes until midnight, and what Li Di once said was vivid in his memory.

He rarely sleeps like this.

Zhou Shiyi couldn't figure out if his mother saw it, but felt a thorn in his heart, as thin as a cow's hair, which could disperse all the bubbles.

At night, the door panels creaked and creaked suddenly.

A slender figure loomed from the darkness between the door and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you asleep..."

"No, how did you come here?"

Zhou Shiyi unexpectedly got up from the bed, quickly pulled off the quilt on his body and waved to people.

The night in early autumn was already getting cold. Xie Chuhong came out of the room with bare legs. After a few steps, he was already covered with cold air, and his brother was chilled.

The first thing Zhou Shi did after covering him up was to check the temperature of his forehead: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Xie Chuhong shook his head first, then nodded again. The temperature on his body had receded, but he was still dizzy.

The moonlight sprinkled on his messy hair, Zhou Shi fixed it for two seconds: "Hungry?"

Xie Chuhong was a little embarrassed, but still nodded frankly: "Ang."

Zhou Shiyi didn't know if it was two o'clock in the morning or three o'clock in the morning. Anyway, his parents must have fallen asleep, and they probably slept soundly.

"What do you want to eat? Something simple."

Xie Chuhong was surprised: "Do you know how? If there are any leftovers, just turn it on in the microwave."

"The flavors left in the refrigerator are too strong now, what's next, add a poached egg."

"Are you really going down?" Xie Chuhong was a little unconvinced.

Zhou Shiyi lifted the quilt and got up from the bed: "You know it, why can't I?"

The two of them were renting a room before, and they didn't want to eat bread in the morning, even the young master Xie Chuhong had ordered it.

"That's different. You have your parents taking care of you at home every day. How can you compare with me?"

As Xie Chuhong said, he wanted to get up from the quilt to follow, but Zhou Shi pushed him back: "Don't come, you have a fever and don't wear pants."

As a result, Xie Chuhong muttered behind his back: "I don't wear pants if I want to show off, and I wear them if I don't blow off."

Zhou Shiyi: "?"

Zhou Shi threw his pajama pants on his face with his backhand, and smiled angrily: "Don't be yellow."

Xie Chuhong shook off his pants slowly, only daring to say in his heart:

Then you and me face Huang.

The two of them walked into the kitchen lightly, without turning on the lights all the way, only taking advantage of the moonlight pouring in from the window and the smallest lamp on the stove, they set the table down.

As soon as Zhou Shi was in the palm of the hand, Xie Chuhong put on his coat and leaned sideways to watch, like the leader inspecting, inserting a few words from time to time, pointing out how to make it more delicious.

Zhou Shiyi always said about him: "So thin, he pays more attention to food than anyone else."

Xie Chuhong pretended not to hear, brought the bowl to the dining table outside, and looked into the transparent glass door of the kitchen while eating.

His brother was still "wearing the stars and wearing the moon" standing under the two windows washing pots and tidying up the stove, wearing only a short-sleeved T-shirt and big pants for sleeping, and his long-sleeved trousers and coat, as if in two season.

But Xie Chuhong knew Zhou Shiyi's body temperature.

Don't worry about him freezing.

Zhou Shi put all his things back in place, Xie Chuhong was still holding the bowl, looking at him and smiling, inexplicably.

"Aren't you hungry again?"

Xie Chuhong shook his head, then obediently buried his head and continued to eat.

The way Xie Chuhong eats is very good-looking, and Zhou Shiyi can't say that he is different from them, but he feels the rules, such as the angle of holding the chopsticks and the posture of holding the bowl, and he is dignified when he is hungry.

"Brother, don't you want to eat?"

Zhou Shiyi shook his head.

Xie Chuhong murmured: "Oh."

After a while, Zhou Shiyi asked him again: "Is it delicious?"

Xie Chuhong nodded and nodded, giving him a few bright winks.

The corner of Zhou Shiyi's mouth twitched: "Then eat quickly, I will wash the dishes after eating."

Xie Chuhong honestly lowered his head and ate for a while, then suddenly said: "Brother, you are so kind to me."

Zhou Shiyi looked at him and opened his lips, but didn't answer.

Later, the two of them were washing dishes in the kitchen. Moonlight always had their own ideas, and he could make whoever he wanted to decorate beautifully.

When Xie Chuhong hugged his brother from behind, he couldn't tell whether it was because of his fever or some other reason.

His brother touched him with his wet wrist and asked if he was cold.

He also went down the steps.

The sexual orientation that I once wanted to talk about every day, but now no one mentions it again, like some kind of tacit agreement.

Instead of going to the second bedroom, the two went into the study together.

Zhou Shi settled the people down, looked at the brightly lit room in front of him and asked, "Can I sleep at night like this?"

Xie Chuhong can't see the light when he sleeps, and the message on his phone reminds him that he can't even turn it on.

"Can't sleep."

Zhou Shiyi: "Why don't you say it?"

Xie Chuhong stopped hugging him, but his forehead was still on his shoulder blades, and the gap between the pillow and the quilt was on the side of his face: "...Can I sleep with you?"

Zhou Shiyi's last thought of wanting to give him a preview was also choked back by this sentence, and he turned back and wrapped him in his arms with a quilt: "No chatting, sleep."

The two faced each other, Xie Chuhong's breath hit Zhou Shiyi's heart.

He didn't believe that his brother didn't feel the difference between the two of them.

He also wanted to reach out for a hug, but the arm separated by the quilt became the most indestructible shackle.

I can't tell whether it is restraint or protection.

Regarding sex education, Zhou Shiyi did not say anything that night.

Not only didn't he say anything, but he didn't reveal any flaws. Xie Chuhong didn't know until he had breakfast the next day.

At that time, he was stupid, and the reaction was still a bit big.

Qiuyun looked at her son strangely: "Didn't you tell Chuhong?"

Zhou Shiyi: "He was sick yesterday, so I didn't say anything."

In other words, it's not a big deal.

Zhou Changde smiled knowingly, while Qiuyun was shaken by the doubts in her heart, and looked at Xie Chuhong again, subconsciously apologizing: "Originally it was inappropriate for me and your uncle to do this, but we asked your mother about it. Opinion, I think it is still necessary.”

Seeing that the child did not speak, Qiuyun quickly waved her hands: "Chuhong, you don't have to feel embarrassed. Uncle did it for you. I won't listen. I'll go back to my room to catch up on sleep."

Xie Chuhong responded in a daze.

After breakfast.

Zhou Changde sat on the sofa with his notebook in his hands, and waited for the children to take their seats.

Xie Chuhong was very upset at first, but when he saw his uncle's laptop screen, he realized how outrageous his assumptions were - Zhou Changde even specially made a PPT and projected it on the TV screen in the living room.

"If you say that I haven't told you about sex before, you may not be used to it." Zhou Changde's voice is as calm as usual, as if the next science popularization is no different from the previous legal common sense.

"Have you ever learned about orientations other than heterosexuality?" Zhou Changde asked the two.

Before Xie Chuhong's throat twitched, Zhou Shiyi had already answered earnestly beside him: "I know, but I haven't systematically understood it."

Zhou Changde: "Where is Chuhong?"

"Ah, um, yes." Xie Chuhong hadn't gotten into the mood yet.

Zhou Changde didn't say anything, just leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, and flipped through the projected PPT by remote control: "Today I will mainly talk about the five common sexual orientations. How many do you know?"

Zhou Shiyi was actually fooled, there are so many: "Heterosexuals, homosexuals, bisexuals, are there any more?"

Zhou Changde turned his attention to Xie Chuhong.

Xie Chuhong opened his mouth slowly: "...There are also asexuality and pansexuality."

Zhou Shiyi came to a sudden: "I know asexuality, but is there any difference between pansexuality and bisexuality?"

Zhou Changde still didn't turn the page to reveal the answer, but just like his own son, he looked at Xie Chuhong to see if he could give an explanation.

In Xie Chuhong's imagination, even if he knew these things, it would be very embarrassing to discuss them with his elders.

But so far, Uncle Zhou and Zhou Shiyi have kept a strict eye on each other, so that he can't bring up any distracting thoughts.

"That's right, bisexuality just likes both boys and girls, but from the perspective of gender classification, there are more than two genders..."

In this way, Zhou Shiyi knew again: "It means that many people's perception of their own gender is different from what they actually show. Can there be many types?"

"...It's about the same. Foreign countries generally have a clearer distinction. I only remember that there are six gender patterns, and I don't remember which six."

To be honest, Xie Chuhong didn't know how things suddenly became like this.

He even felt that Uncle Zhou was crossing his legs and listening to them, listening with a bit of interest.

After receiving the gazes from the two children, Zhou Changde picked up the PPT remote control with great interest: "Are you at my part?"

Zhou Shiyi's shamefaced face, told his father not to play tricks on people.

Xie Chuhong figured it out, this is really for learning, maybe it has no other meaning.

"The six sex patterns of organisms, including chromosomal sex, genetic sex, gonadal sex, genital sex, psychological sex, and social sex."

This passage was read by Zhou Changde directly according to the Baidu Encyclopedia information on the PPT. He did not go into details, but only said that the free combination of genders in these six dimensions can make up many different genders: "Register new Users, the system will give 56 options, you can find out if you are interested, only when the six gender patterns are highly unified, it is not considered gender ambiguous."

"For example, Hua Mulan is female in all aspects, but because the social gender is male, it cannot be considered uniform, so the gender of most people is not as clear as everyone thinks, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. Very normal state."

With the basis of gender cognition, Zhou Shiyi tried to understand: "So pansexuality means being able to like all genders?"

"Almost, it is an orientation that can generate love and sexual desire for all genders." Zhou Changde used the words very straightforwardly in front of the two children, and did not specifically avoid anything, "In addition to men and women, there are also transgender, Intersex people and so on, asexuality is just the opposite, no desire for all genders, simply a lack of sexual drive."

Xie Chuhong found that his brother was very serious no matter what he studied, and his eyes were fixed on the projection screen PPT, and he was really curious at a glance.

"Because common sense in this area is not widespread, the public tends to equate homosexuality with transgender, transvestite, and heterosexuality. Do you know the difference?"

Zhou Shiyi almost couldn't help looking at Xie Chuhong, coughing: "I probably know one thing, but don't all homosexuals like these?"

"It's the stereotype brought to everyone by the messy film and television literature, which intentionally heterosexualizes homosexuality." Xie Chuhong said slowly. Before that, he was very quiet. Those who are attractive, like heterosexuality, and transvestites show that they subconsciously have a good impression of the opposite sex, but they are not actually homosexuals in the true sense, and should be classified as other orientations.”

Zhou Changde smiled while holding the remote control: "Chuhong really understands this very well."

Zhou Shi woke up from a daze in an instant, and was about to smooth things over when Xie Chuhong responded with lowered eyes: "Yes."

For a while, the atmosphere became delicate, and none of the three spoke.

Zhou Shiyi's palms were already sweating, but his father just smiled again: "Shiyi should also learn from Chu Hong in this respect, instead of just watching what is taught in school all day long, he still needs to learn more about extracurricular knowledge .”

"Cough, okay." Zhou Shiyi nervously opened his mouth twice before making a sound, "...just learn everything from Chuhong, I understand."

"Does Chuhong know the cause of homosexuality?" Zhou Changde turned over a page of PPT.

Xie Chuhong replied with three words: "Natural."

Zhou Shiyi felt that he was a bit self-defeating, trying to restore the atmosphere: "Didn't it mean that there will be the day after tomorrow?"

But Xie Chuhong's tone became harsher: "'The day after tomorrow' is just discovered late, it doesn't mean it's not born."

Fortunately, Zhou Changde nodded: "The American Psychological Association has published literature on this, showing that homosexuality cannot be corrected, and sexual orientation cannot be changed."

"Currently, there is a more consistent view that homosexuality has a fairly deep biomedical basis, is determined by homosexual genes, and cannot be controlled by oneself."

Zhou Shiyi, a first-year liberal arts student, couldn't understand again: "Is there a special homosexual gene?"

"Experts believe that this is a male-loving gene and a female-loving gene. The common evolutionary advantage is earlier sexual maturity. When the male-loving gene dominates in men, it is gay, and the female-loving gene dominates in women. When it's dominant, it's a lesbian." Zhou Changde pressed the remote control.

A set of theoretical research data was intercepted on the PPT: the number of children born to female relatives of gay men is usually 1.3 times that of other women.

For women, progesterone and estrogen are the two most important female hormones. The level of progesterone in the body also has a direct impact on sexual orientation.The higher the progesterone hormone level, the higher the attention to the same sex, and the greater the chance of being gay.

Dr. Diana Fleischman from the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom also pointed out that supplementing progesterone hormones the day after tomorrow will not have any impact on sexual orientation. shows an increase.

"So... are they really born?"

Zhou Shiyi seemed to be around unconsciously, but the tension in Xie Chuhong's heart was accumulating more and more.

Uncle Zhou’s voice was still unrecognizable: “I found out sooner or later. Everyone’s living environment is different, and the time when they come into contact with these concepts is also different. Many people may never realize that they are not heterosexual, but other people. what orientation."

"However, bisexuality is discriminated against at a higher rate than homosexuality."

"In 15 years, Washington State University published a study showing that everyone is more or less bisexual, but it was later confirmed that this theory was incorrect. The boundaries are very clear."

Xie Chuhong finally began to be surprised: "It means that heterosexuals are the most, homosexuals are next, and bisexuals are next?"

Zhou Changde: "There are many theories, and there has been no exact orientation demographics. Because there is no fixed measurement standard, everyone's perception of their own orientation may be biased. Only research reports and sample surveys are used as reference."

The two children sat on the sofa and nodded in unison.

Xie Chuhong did not pay close attention to issues related to bisexuality before. He only subconsciously felt that there should be more bisexuals than homosexuals, and there are many more.

Next, the richness of Zhou Changde's PPT is obviously far beyond his imagination.

In terms of historical origins alone, from the popularity of masculinity in the Jin Dynasty and the fierce lesbianism in the Qing Dynasty, all the way to popular science to the same-sex teacher-student relationship in Greece.

Qiuyun later came out after catching up on sleep in the bedroom, and they were not over yet.

I simply moved a small bench and peeled apples to listen in. The performance of homosexuals in terms of occupational education, wealth and income, and the transmission route of AIDS were all scientifically and rigorously displayed data and carried out popular science.

With so much content, it directly dispelled the last trace of doubt in Xie Chuhong's heart.

No wonder Zhou Shiyi didn't panic, maybe he really just wanted to teach them a lesson.

Just as Xie Chuhong finished thinking this way in his heart, Zhou Changde suddenly asked: "If you are in love with a homosexual, do you know how to distinguish the difference between bisexuality and homosexuality?"

The two shook their heads.

Xie Chuhong had never seen bisexuality before, and Zhou Shiyi didn't even understand homosexuality.

Zhou Changde didn't hold his appetite for too long: "Even if bisexual boys get along with the same sex, they still tend to treat each other as 'girls', and follow the inertia of getting along with the opposite sex, while homosexuals will not."

In the following passage, he almost stared at the two children and said: "Whether you will substitute your partner into the position of the opposite sex is an important basis for judging sexual orientation. If you meet someone in the future, you can also try to identify it. Because maybe the parties themselves don’t know their true orientation.”

As soon as the voice fell, the relaxed atmosphere in the living room was swept away, and Xie Chuhong and Zhou Shiyi's hearts skipped a beat at the same time.

With so much foreshadowing, he still didn't escape a catastrophe.

When Zhou Changde asked Xie Chuhongfang if it was convenient to go to the room for a chat, everyone in the living room looked at him, even Qiuyun was no exception, and it was clearly written in the round almond eyes: You haven't discussed this matter with me ah!

"What are you talking about?" Qiuyun said bluntly.

Zhou Changde smiled: "Secret."

Qiuyun was still holding the fruit knife she hadn't put away: "You have a secret behind my back?"

Zhou Changde's smile remained unchanged: "It's not my secret, it's Chu Hong's secret."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Chuhong was ready for a complete showdown after following behind him into the study for a few steps.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chuhong was stopped by the first question when the two of them closed the study door.

"Remember a few weeks ago, you took tithe to play at the club, using your dad's card."

Xie Chuhong was stunned: "How do you know..."

Zhou Changde looked at him: "Someone is looking for me."
