Heartbeat [online game]

After another three days of busy work, Wen Jingran was free after holding a full-day meeting.However, he didn't go to Tang Xulin, but thought that Tang Xulin's exams would be over.

After having dinner with Tang Xulin that day, Shen Shaoheng contacted him by text message every day. Wen Jingran also learned a lot of news from Shen Shaoheng. For example, the time for Tang Xulin's exams was relatively concentrated, and after finishing the last subject, it could be regarded as a holiday.For another example, during the summer vacation, Tang Xulin was going to work all day, which sounded quite hard.

Everyone noticed Yang Li and Situ Zhe's incompatible aura when Yang Li went to work on his first day, and they were even more impressed in the next few days.Even the full-day meeting that day was completed through the quarrel between the two and Wen Jingran's mediation.However, they fought back and forth, and the employees under their opponents were still very good. Wen Jingran divided the people in the art department into two groups, and the artists who were good at cities, scenes, and scenery belonged to Situ Zhe. For convenience, everyone collectively referred to them as exterior scenes Group.And people who are good at character design, clothing weapons, pendants and pets, etc., which are closely related to the player's character, are all under Yang Li's command, collectively referred to as the appearance group.Although the two team leaders are in conflict, the members still get along very well.Shen Shaoheng has long been used to this mode, and calmly went about his own business.And Shu Hang was a little worried at the beginning, but when he took the document to Yang Li to sign, Yang Li was very kind to him, which made him let go of his worries, and felt that this matter didn't seem to be what he thought.

This summer seems to be hotter than usual this year.On the first day of July, the sun is so hot that everyone calls for barbecue.Fortunately, the company has air-conditioning, just like being in spring, and everyone's work has not been affected.

After get off work, Wen Jingran drove to University E. Tang Xulin finished his last subject at 5 o'clock this afternoon. If possible, Wen Jingran would like to take him to eat something good to make up for it.

The car turned a corner, and when it was about to reach the dormitory area, Wen Jingran saw Tang Xulin standing by the roadside with a woman from a distance, not knowing what to say.Wen Jingran merged the car into the outer lane and slowed down.Getting a little closer, Wen Jingran also saw the woman's appearance clearly. If he remembered correctly, this woman should be Tang Xulin's mother. Although Wen Jingran only met her once, because Tang Xulin was somewhat similar to her, so Still have some impressions.

Mother Tang looked a bit haggard, and Tang Xulin didn't know where to go. She kept silent, but Mother Tang kept talking, and she seemed very excited, but Wen Jingran didn't know what she was talking about.

Pulling over the car, Wen Jingran got out of the car. Although this might just be a family matter, Tang Xulin's condition was obviously not right, so Wen Jingran naturally couldn't ignore it.

When he got out of the car, Tang Xulin saw him, froze for a second, and frowned slightly.His attitude was expected by Wen Jingran, but he didn't know if it was because he appeared at the wrong time, or because Tang Xulin didn't want to see him.

Seeing that her son was looking at something, Mother Tang followed suit. The moment she saw Wen Jingran, Mother Tang's face turned from haggard to pale.

Wen Jingran also noticed her strangeness, but he still walked over and greeted Tang's mother, "Hello."

Tang Xulin frowned even deeper, and said to him, "What are you doing here? Go back."

Before Wen Jingran could say anything, Mother Tang took a step forward, grabbed Wen Jingran's clothes with both hands, stared at her flushed face, and said angrily, "It's all you! It's all you who brought Mengmeng down!"

It is impossible for Wen Jingran to start a fight with a woman, so he can only let him pull her.

"Aren't you abroad? Why did you come back?! Why did you come back?! It's not enough for you to bring Mengmeng down? What are you doing now?!" Mother Tang was already in a state of hysteria. Nothing left.

"Mom!" Tang Xulin stepped forward and wanted to tear his mother away, but he pulled her a few times, but he didn't pull her away.

Although what Tang's mother said was not very clear, Wen Jingran had already guessed a little bit and was a little shocked at the same time.When she said that she had spoiled Tang Xulin, she probably meant the matter of homosexuality.So how did she know?Has Tang Xulin come out to the family?

Each question made Wen Jingran's mind a little confused, but no matter how many doubts there are, now is not a good time to solve them.Tang's mother pushed Wen Jingran vigorously, and kept saying to keep him away from Tang Xulin.

Wen Jingran's shirt buttons fell off at some point, and now his mind is full of Tang Xulin's coming out of the closet. With a "snap", the furious Mother Tang slapped Wen Jingran's face with a palm, and Wen Jingran only felt a burning pain on the left side of his cheek.

"Enough!" Tang Xulin shouted to stop.

Mother Tang froze in place, and slowly let go of Wen Jingran's clothes.

Tang Xulin's eyes were red, and he said to his mother: "I've said it before, this is my own orientation, innate, and has nothing to do with others. Don't put the blame on others. If you can't accept it, I won't show up in front of you to provoke you Annoyance, Dad said I would get out of the house if I didn’t change, I’m leaving. What else do you think?”

"Mengmeng, you can't do this. You can change it. You can change it well and live a normal life from now on. Our family is still the same as before..." Mother Tang looked at Tang Xulin with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, I didn't mean to make you sad, but some things can't be changed. You have to force me to end up harming others and myself." Seeing such a mother, Tang Xulin felt very sad.

Mother Tang touched her eyes, pointed at Wen Jingran, and asked, "Do you want to be with him?"

Tang Xulin didn't speak, but just shook his head.

Tang's mother looked at her son with water in her eyes, "You are an adult now, and mother can't control you. But you work so hard, although mother is angry with you, she loves you."

"mom……"

"Your father doesn't know that I'm here to look for you, so I have to go back first. If you figure it out, come back, and the door of the house will always be open for you." Mother Tang was no longer as excited as she was just now. She sniffed and patted He patted Tang Xulin's hand, turned around and left without looking back.

Tang Xulin looked at the back of his mother leaving, and knew very well in his heart that what his mother wanted to go back was a normal child, not a gay.

Wen Jingran was still immersed in the shock of Tang Xulin's coming out. As for Tang's mother's slap, he didn't take it to heart at all.After his mother left, Tang Xulin glanced at Wen Jingran and was about to go back to the dormitory, but just as he took a step, Wen Jingran grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing? Let go!" Tang Xulin frowned and glanced at Wen Jingran holding his hand.

"Come home with me." Wen Jingran said with a serious face.

"Go home?" Tang Xulin sneered, "Do I still have a home?"

"Yes!" After finishing speaking, Wen Jingran pulled Tang Xulin to his side, wrapped his other hand around him from behind, and forcibly led him to the car.

"I'm not going anywhere, let me go!" Tang Xulin struggled, his already pale face felt even paler.

Wen Jingran ignored his struggle, opened the door of the passenger seat, and pushed the person in.As soon as he was seated, Tang Xulin was about to get out of the car and leave, but Wen Jingran stood in the doorway, looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "Don't you dare to get out of the car and try."

Tang Xulin was stunned for a moment, Wen Jingran took advantage of the mechanism to close the door, then quickly ran to the driver's side, got into the car, and then locked the door, "Fasten your seat belt."

Tang Xulin looked at him with a frown, this kind of gentleness made him feel very strange.

Seeing that he didn't move, Wen Jingran leaned over to help him fasten his seat belt.Tang Xulin was startled, and quickly tried to push him away, but Wen Jingran grabbed his hand, and then pulled the safety belt to fasten him.

"Sleep for a while when you're tired, and I'll call you when you get home." Wen Jingran started the car and drove towards home.

Tang Xulin turned his head out of the window and remained silent.Wen Jingran didn't say anything more, and the two of them just walked quietly together.

After parking the belt in the parking space, Wen Jingran got out of the car first, and then went to open the door on Tang Xulin's side.Although Tang Xulin still had no expression on his face, he had already unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and obediently got out of the car.This place is no stranger to him, but since he hasn't been here for a long time, many things have become memories, and some have gradually been forgotten.

"Go upstairs." Wen Jingran said.

Tang Xulin also knew that it was all here, there was no need for him to run any longer, so he simply followed Wen Jingran upstairs.

Opening the door, Wen Jingran let Tang Xulin enter the room, and walked into Wen Jingran's house, nothing had changed here, it was still the same as when he came last time, the sofa was still brown, and the floor was still dark brown.

After changing shoes and entering the room, Wen Jingran said, "You sit down first."

Tang Xulin didn't respond, but sat on the sofa anyway.

After washing his hands, Wen Jingran went to the kitchen to heat up milk.The dark circles under Tang Xulin's eyes are obvious, obviously he didn't sleep well, probably because the exam pressure was too great and he memorized the paper too late.

The hot milk was poured into the mug with the fragrance of milk. Wen Jingran put the mug in front of Tang Xulin, then sat on the sofa next to him, and asked, "Mengmeng, have you come out to the family?" This question, but Wen Jingran still wanted to make sure.

"Didn't you hear clearly?" Tang Xulin lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse.

Wen Jingran nodded and said, "Drink the milk and go to sleep. You don't look well, so you should pay attention to rest."

Tang Xulin looked up at him, "Stop asking?"

"Let's talk when you want to talk. If I ask now, you may not be willing to tell me." Wen Jingran smiled and said, "Do you want to have some more snacks?"

Tang Xulin didn't reply to him. He was indeed hungry and sleepy. Although he was heartbroken because of what happened to Wen Jingran and thought about never having any contact with him again, he felt very at ease when he came here. Such a sense of security.

"It's nothing. My mother has always had the habit of keeping a diary, so since I could write, she started to let me keep a diary, and I gradually developed this habit. I think it's good to record something every day. After getting to know you, Many of my diaries are about you, and then you left without saying goodbye, and I threw that diary into the trash can in a fit of anger. Usually, these things in my house are directly thrown away when my father goes to work, and he doesn’t care what I throw away But unfortunately, my dad got up late that day, and there happened to be a meeting, so he left in a hurry. My mother saw the book when she picked up the bag and was about to throw it away. Maybe out of curiosity, she Take it out and have a look, and then you'll know." Tang Xulin twitched the corners of his lips, but he didn't smile, "But she didn't tell me about it, but told my dad first. My dad was afraid of delaying my study, so I just I asked Xiao Le quietly. As for what Xiao Le said to them, I don’t know. My father has been hiding it very well, and my mother is nothing special except that she feels more concerned about my friendship than before. I also Didn't think much of it."

Looking at Tang Xulin who said this calmly, Wen Jingran felt very sad.Maybe everything would have been better if he hadn't gone.

"Until a week before the college entrance examination, Xiao Le came to me and told me that my parents already knew about me and you, and that I was gay. He also asked him many details about our time together, and he He also told me unabashedly that he added a lot of embellishment and embellishment, so that I can take care of myself." Tang Xulin's voice was not high, but he could hear the suppressed sadness, "I was surprised at the time, I didn't expect my parents to know. As for Xiao Le's I'm not surprised to add fuel to the mix, because we've had a falling out before."

"My mind was also a little confused at the time. When I went back, I asked my mother how she knew. My mother also suppressed it for a long time, and she couldn't help it, so she talked about the diary. I was very angry. What about diaries? Can you watch it casually? But it’s my fault if I think about it, I should just throw it in the trash can outside instead of in the trash can at home.” Tang Xulin sighed slightly, “My dad couldn’t hold it back when he came back, I I had a big fight with them, and my family fell into a cold war. It was also because of this incident that I made some mistakes in the college entrance examination. I talked about it twice, but no matter how he told me to change, I always said that I am gay and I can’t change it in this life. He let me go out in a fit of anger, so I packed my things and left.”

Wen Jingran didn't speak, just got up and walked over, holding Tang Xulin in his arms.Tang Xulin pushed him a few times but didn't push him away, maybe he was really tired, so he didn't push him again, just let him hold him like this.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Jingran said in a low voice, "It's my fault..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm independent now, and I still need to thank you, otherwise I'll always be a child who can only rely on adults." Tang Xulin's words were distant and polite, which made Wen Jingran feel extremely sour.

"Do you work part-time to earn living expenses?" Wen Jingran asked in a low voice.

"Well, my parents have cut off my source of income. Fortunately, I have saved the New Year's money in the past few years, which is enough for me to pay for a year's tuition." Regarding the experience of supporting himself independently, Tang Xulin felt that although it was hard, it was this. He chose it himself, and he has never regretted it.

"You are amazing." Wen Jingran smiled slightly and said sincerely.

Tang Xulin was silent, clenched his fingers into a fist, but in the end he didn't push Wen Jingran away.

This night, Tang Xulin did not confront Wen Jingran, nor did he speak coldly, but was more silent.Wen Jingran made some easy-to-digest dinner, Tang Xulin drank the milk first, then ate some porridge, couldn't bear the drowsiness, took a shower and went to sleep.

Wen Jingran gently closed the door of the guest room, and his heart calmed down.

Tang Xulin slept until 09:30 the next morning.When he woke up, Wen Jingran had already gone to work, and only left him a note.After reading the note, Tang Xulin casually threw it into the trash can, then changed into his own clothes and prepared to leave.

When he put on his shoes and went to open the door, he found that the door couldn't be opened - Wen Jingran locked him at home...

Realizing this, Tang Xulin wrinkled and kicked the door in dissatisfaction, then moved to the dining table, sat down and began to eat breakfast.Anyway, I can't go out, so I might as well eat the meal.Wen Jingran could lock him up for a day, but not for a lifetime.
