Euthanasia

The door to 301 is closed.They have only moved once in their history, and Liu Zhiwei has lived in this place since he was eight years old.This door is too familiar to him, but Liu Zhiwei has not come back here to see this door for more than ten years.He put Jon off his back, straightened his skirt, and knocked on the door.

Before the door opened, Jon asked in a low voice, "What's your mother's name?"

"Zhu Yuli." Liu Zhiwei quickly answered him in a low voice.

Immediately after, there was an angry voice from inside the door: "I can't open the door without the key?"

Liu Zhiwei and Jon looked at each other, knocked on the door again, and said, "It's me."

The woman inside seemed to be taken aback.Then came the sound of light footsteps, and the door was opened.

The woman who appeared inside the door was wearing very homely pajamas, her long hair was pulled up casually, and her face was tired.When she saw Liu Zhiwei outside the door, her eyes widened for a moment, and then she became expressionless again.

Liu Zhiwei didn't wait for her to speak, and called "Mom" first.

The woman didn't say anything, but looked at Liu Zhiwei silently and indifferently.

"Mom... I, I passed by today, and I just want to come back and have a look..." Liu Zhiwei was a little nervous.

Liu Zhiwei's mother turned around and walked into the house without closing the door, and said flatly as she walked, "Your father said so."

Liu Zhiwei carefully helped Jon into the door.

Zhu Yuli dug out two cups and poured water into them.Liu Zhiwei recognized one of the two cups as the one he used when he was a child.When Zhu Yuli turned around and saw Jon, she couldn't help being startled, the water in the glass almost poured out.She calmed down, put the water glass heavily on the coffee table, and then sat down on the sofa beside her.While Liu Zhiwei helped Jon to sit on the sofa, she didn't hold back her expression, and couldn't help but keep looking at Jon.

Jon finally sat down.After sitting down, he extended his hand to Zhu Yuli and said in Chinese, "Hi, I'm Jone."

Zhu Yuli hesitantly and slowly stretched out her hand to shake him tentatively.

Liu Zhiwei still didn't know what to say, but Jon had once again taken the lead: "I am your son's husband."

Liu Zhiwei: "..."

Zhu Yuli's mouth was half open, as if she was still reacting, but the explosion that Liu Zhiwei expected did not come, Zhu Yuli's first concern was actually: "Are you married?"

"...married," Liu Zhiwei said, "Same-sex marriage is legal in the United States..."

"When did you go to America?" Zhu Yuli asked again.

Liu Zhiwei didn't answer for a while, and Jon answered for him: "September last year."

"Aren't you filming a TV series at that time?"

"Before..." Liu Zhiwei broke out in cold sweat.He didn't expect that Zhu Yuli would even know when he was filming.

"How did you get your passport? The little girl downstairs wanted to get a passport to go to the United States, but her family didn't have enough savings and she refused her visa. Can you get a passport with that little money?"

Zhu Yuli's question got to the core, and Liu Zhiwei was immediately stopped by the question.

"You're not married at all, are you?" Zhu Yuli said.

At this moment, Jon took out a neatly stacked piece of paper from his chest and said, "This is our marriage certificate."

It's all in cursive English, but Zhu Yuli has taken the college entrance examination herself, so she can understand it more or less.She looked at it silently for a while, and said, "Just this piece of paper?"

"Mom...the marriage certificate in the United States is like this..." Liu Zhiwei said weakly, "You can check it online..."

Without saying a word, Zhu Yuli took out her mobile phone to take a picture, and then started to search online.In the past few minutes, Liu Zhiwei took a sneak peek at Jon, full of doubts about the fact that he was carrying a marriage certificate with him.

Why did it happen that Jon brought a "gift for Shanna" when he came back, and why did he happen to have a marriage certificate with him?

Before Liu Zhiwei could figure it out, Zhu Yuli put down her phone first, and glanced back and forth between Liu Zhiwei and Qiao En with an interrogating gaze.

"how did you guys meet?"

When Liu Zhiwei heard this question, the cold sweat on his back became even more intense.As soon as Zhu Yuli asked, she broke the casserole and asked to the end. He had never prepared a "standard answer" in advance. Zhu Yuli knew him well since she was a child, and it was impossible to deceive her.

"We..." Liu Zhiwei had just started, when Jon suddenly said, "I planned to end my life half a year ago."

Both Liu Zhiwei and Zhu Yuli were stunned.

"I made all plans for euthanasia, and even signed the will," Jon said calmly, "but my friends played a trick on me, and they sent me to China."

Liu Zhiwei wanted to gag Jon, but wouldn't he tell the whole truth?As soon as he made a move, Zhu Yuli stared at him, and Liu Zhiwei froze like a sculpture.

"After I arrived in China, I was very angry and lost my temper, because they made a big joke with my life, but then I met him." Jon looked at Zhu Yuli and said.His eyes are green, he likes to look directly at others when he talks, Liu Zhiwei knows how deep those eyes are, how easy it is for people to fall into them.

"I fell in love with him," Jon said bluntly, "There are a lot of Asian populations in the world, and I have seen many excellent Asians and excellent Chinese in the United States, but I have never paid attention to them. Anyone is interested. If it’s just for fun, if I’m just looking for a sexual partner, I have too many easier and better choices-I own a global company, even if my legs are not good, there are still countless people who are willing To be my lover, to be adored by countless people, to have a meal with me is a lifelong dream for countless people. But I choose him, I am willing to stay here for him, I am willing to marry him and I am willing to come to see you all. It's just because he's more important to me than these troubles—and as long as it's done for him, I don't think it's trouble at all."

"Jon..." Liu Zhiwei said in a daze.

"I'd be kidding if I cared what you and his dad thought, because I didn't know you guys in the past. But I didn't want him to have any regrets, and I wanted to be part of his family and be part of his family." Culture, so I put you in a very important position in my heart," Jon said, "If someone told me before I met him, I would sit here one day with someone I have never met and have nothing to do with I would think it must be bullshit for a woman to waste her brains on confessing her feelings to gain the right to be with her lover. I never cared about what other people think. But now, my Zeo cares, my lover cares, so I have to care, you know. This trip back is not even planned by him, but I asked, because I want him to meet you, let you know that he has been unable to return to his family for more than ten years. What have you been through?"

Zhu Yuli stared blankly at Jon, and when he finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly, her eyes a little red.Her eyes seemed to be a mixture of grievance, distress and pain.But she suppressed them all under a calm exterior.

"If he hadn't come out, he wouldn't have had such a quarrel with us back then..." Zhu Yuli's voice regained her composure, "I never stopped him, and he never wanted to go home."

"I go home every year!" Liu Zhiwei couldn't help it, and couldn't help shouting from the side, when Zhu Yuli looked at him, his voice weakened again, "... just look at the side, sometimes look You and your uncle set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve, and sometimes watched you unload the goods...you said it so harshly, how dare I come back, and my father refused to let me go home..."

"Speaking harshly? Why are you so cruel?" Zhu Yuli raised her voice, "How many times did I call you later? Did you take any of them? I gave you all the money in the university, didn't you?" What kind of poor actor like Qian can you continue to study? I also supported you when you studied as a director, how about you? Have you persisted?!"

Liu Zhiwei didn't say anything for a while.

Jon leaned forward, showing a posture of wanting to have a deep conversation but seemed to be attacking, and said, "Then do you know why he didn't insist?"

Zhu Yuli froze for a moment.

Liu Zhiwei clenched his back molars.He pressed Jon's hand to prevent him from continuing, and he said, "Mom..."

"Please explain clearly to me," Zhu Yuli frowned tightly, "Why did I ask you at that time that the clam couldn't be pried open, and you expected me to be able to read minds? How much did I persuade you when you said you wanted to change your major? Times? How many times have you been scolded? You said you just wanted to change departments, and you thought I was a roundworm in your stomach? You know that what I hate the most is not persevering!"

Liu Zhiwei opened his mouth and felt that Jon held his hand instead.Jon's palm was warm and dry. He spread Liu Zhiwei's fist and inserted his finger into Liu Zhiwei's fingertip.Liu Zhiwei's nerves seemed to be stretched.

He glanced at Jon, then at Zhu Yuli, and said, "...Mom, did you read the news a few days ago?"

Liu Zhiwei knew that after Zhu Yuli retired, she would be like an ordinary woman every day, cleaning the house and reading gossip on the Internet.Life had drained her passion and all enthusiasm, and she had no other pleasure in life than these things.She doesn't like to play mahjong and chat with her neighbors, and Liu Zhiwei's coming out of the closet also cut off her desire to share with others.

Liu Zhiwei said: "Do you still remember when I first entered university, I told you that I was assigned to Sun Peihua, my most wanted mentor?"

"Yeah, you were so happy back then—" Zhu Yuli answered subconsciously, and suddenly froze.She remembered the news not long ago, "—Sun Peihua?"

Liu Zhiwei lowered his eyes and said: "Mom, when I was young, you always said that I have my own opinions and can make up my own mind... Then do you know that when I went to the director exam, everyone thought I went with my cousin. I made the first decision? The troubles I got into when I was young are most likely the fault of Yang Shuo, do you know? I showed you the movies I made, and you also watched Yang Shuo's... Can graduate, why I can't graduate, have you ever thought about it? You always compare me with others, yes, you have high requirements...but why don't you always believe me more..."

Zhu Yuli opened her eyes wide, a little at a loss: "You...you have a good relationship with Yang Shuo, don't you?"

"Yeah, I liked him before," Liu Zhiwei snorted, "The person you always use as an example, you certainly don't know, he is also gay, and he is a person who dare not disclose himself to harm others Girl's homosexuality."

"Nonsense," Zhu Yuli said, "He's married now!"

"Then do they have children?" Liu Zhiwei sneered.

"He, his mother said that the previous girl couldn't be born, so she changed it for him, and she is still cultivating feelings..."

Liu Zhiwei said indifferently: "This is nonsense, he can't be hard on women at all."

Zhu Yuli fell silent for a while.

Liu Zhiwei hugged the full teacup and stared at the water in it: "Mom, you must have watched the video after watching the news... That was me back then. He arrived at Sun Peihua's place, and then he left." Liu Zhiwei pursed his lips and suddenly smiled.

"At that time, no mother knocked on the door desperately to drive Sun Peihua away."

The water glass in Zhu Yuli's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and with a "pop", it fell to pieces.She picked up a large fragment, stood up with fists clenched, and walked out with red eyes: "That bastard Yang Shuo..."

Seeing the blood on her hands, Liu Zhiwei hurriedly pulled her back: "Mom...Mom! It's all over! Sun Peihua has been sent to prison by us!"

When Liu Zhiwei stood up, he found that Zhu Yuli had become shorter, she looked very thin, and Liu Zhiwei hugged her in his arms as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Zhu Yuli also rushed forward two steps aggressively, but was blocked by Liu Zhiwei. He took her hand and shook off the debris in her palm, and hurriedly dragged her to the cabinet to find a band-aid.

When Liu Zhiwei took out the band-aid and looked up, he found that Zhu Yuli's eyes were full of tears.

"Are you... really can't change..."

Liu Zhiwei was silent for a while: "...this is natural."

Zhu Yuli hit him with a bloody fist, tears streaming down her face: "Why didn't you tell me..."

"Mom..." Liu Zhiwei's nose suddenly became sour.

"But what will you do when you get old..." Zhu Yuli wiped her tears with the palm of her hand, her face was red, "You don't even have children... I told you to start college, and you just wanted to hold grandchildren... That doll must be special Handsome, as handsome as my son... why are you like this..."

Liu Zhiwei silently grabbed her hand and put band-aids on all the wounds.Because there are many wounds, it is very unsightly to paste.He knew that Zhu Yuli even knew when he started filming "Personality Game", and he must have been following his news on the Internet. He also knew that when Zhu Yuli asked "Is it really impossible to change?", it represented her past. I must have forced myself to suppress those long-standing concepts and ideas, and searched a lot of information about homosexuality.

Liu Zhiwei hugged Zhu Yuli and said, "Mom...I'm sorry..."

Zhu Yuli turned her head sullenly and ruthlessly twisted the itchy flesh on his waist, twisting Liu Zhiwei's face down.
