back to innocence

When Ye Minghe returned home, he was still changing shoes at the door, when he saw Chen Qiao standing at the door with a terrifying expression and staring at her.

He froze for a moment, and then suddenly found the picture folder in Chen Qiao's hand.

Chen Qiao held Ye Minghe's drawing in his hand, turned it over to reveal the portrait of the character, and asked word by word: "What is this?"

Ye Minghe looked at Chen Qiao in disbelief, reached out and snatched the drawing book from Chen Qiao's hand, and said rather angrily, "Mom! How are you—how can you rummage through my things casually!?"

"You were all born by me, what are your things that I can't touch!?" Chen Qiao said angrily, "And if I don't touch your things, how would I know that you are—Ye Minghe! I worked so hard I didn't pay you to go to college to let you like a man!"

She was so angry that she only felt dizzy before her eyes. She supported the wall with her hands, paused for a while, and then said: "The child of the Fei family, I felt uncomfortable the first time I saw it. A boy looks like It's too abnormal to be so delicate. There must be a monster in the abnormal... I should have discovered it a long time ago."

Ye Minghe suddenly felt unreasonable - what does his liking of boys have to do with Fei Yizhen's good looks! ?Only those girls would run after Fei Yi because he was really handsome... What he never cared about was whether Fei Yi was good-looking or not.

He calmed down and said to Chen Qiao: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why do I like him? It's just a character practice draft. He and I were originally partners in a contact group. It's normal to draw a portrait. I I just don't know what you're thinking, Mom."

Obviously decided to let go, but such a thing happened.When Ye Minghe felt agitated, he became more and more determined to deny Chen Qiao's words, and Fei Yizhen could not be involved again.

Seeing that he was still dead, Chen Qiao became impatient and said angrily, "You still want to fool me!? Your mother is not a fool, she was also in love!"

Ye Minghe said: "I didn't say you didn't. But these two things can't be related."

"Okay!" Chen Qiao said, "It's fine if you refuse to admit it, but you are not allowed to associate with Fei Yizhen in the future. I still expect you to marry a wife in the future and give me a lot of grandchildren. Men are entangled, do you understand!?"

In the last sentence, Chen Qiao raised her voice and shouted sharply.

Ye Minghe was silent for a while, and then said: "Mom, this is impossible."

We have known each other for nearly eight years, and Fei Yizhen has helped him with many things. If Ye Minghe was allowed to draw a clear line with him like this, Ye Minghe himself would look down on him——Chen Qiao's words made him feel extraordinarily Cold Heart.

Chen Qiao asked angrily: "You insist on going against me, right!?"

Ye Minghe was not frightened by her anger, but calmly said: "Mom, do you remember when you were sick in the second year of junior high? I found many people at that time, but only Yizhen was willing to help I persuaded his father to lend us money. Mom! If I cut him off now, who am I!?"

Chen Qiao frowned, showing a struggling and sad expression.After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "We have already paid off the borrower's money! If you still think it's not enough, I still have a deposit of 13 yuan here, and I should be able to pay it off even if it's a loan shark! Take out the money and send it to Fei's family!"

She turned and walked into the room.Ye Minghe immediately rushed up to block her way.He breathed hard, trying to calm the anger in his heart, and then said: "Why don't you understand!? It's not about money. The Fei family is not short of money!"

Back then, Fei Yi was really willing to help him, but he never counted on money, but on the friendship of his classmates.Yes, they paid off the debt - but this does not mean that Ye Minghe can not accept the Fei family's love.

"Then what do you want me to pay back!?" Chen Qiao suddenly became irritable when she heard this sentence, and shouted: "I give them back my life, okay!? It should be enough for me to give them back my life!? "

Ye Minghe took a step back in disbelief.

What Chen Qiao said was full of hatred.

Does Chen Qiao's life really mean anything to the Fei family, to Fei Yi?Her safety itself is only very important to Ye Minghe.Ye Minghe felt that the whole person was like a glacier in the middle of winter, and the chill penetrated into his heart all the way.

Chen Qiao's words hurt Ye Minghe's heart.

After a while, his eyes were red, and he said, "Mom, don't be like this. I swear that Yizhen and I don't have any relationship, and he... doesn't mean that to me."

After hearing this, Chen Qiao asked after a while, "What about you?"

"I like men...but it has nothing to do with Yizhen. I just don't like girls."

Chen Qiao's hands were trembling, and after a long while, he said, "Ye Minghe—how can you...how can you...do you want your father to have no heir? He is only your son. You are worthy of your father and me !?"

She was emotional, and she grabbed Ye Minghe's hand and started to exert all her strength, which made Ye Minghe very painful.

But he didn't resist or break free.

Zhao Jingxi said: Be brave and honest with yourself.

Fei Yizhen said: Most parents in this world love their children after all, and hope that they will be happy.

Ye Minghe plucked up his courage and said, "Mom, I know I'm sorry for Dad and you. But I really can't like girls. This is a way to force me to change my nature."

Chen Qiao looked at her son in despair and pain, her lips trembled slightly, and she was speechless for a long while.

She was silent for a while, and struggled for a while, but finally said: "...No."

"Ye Minghe, if you still listen to me, go find a girlfriend. If you really can't find a partner, it's fine for Mom to let someone introduce you to talk about first. You are not allowed to associate with that kid from the Fei family anymore. , did you hear that!?"

Ye Minghe frowned, grabbed Chen Qiao, and said, "Mom! This is impossible. I can't harm other girls. Do you know that you are harming others by doing this? I don't like girls at all, how can I be with others? fall in love!?"

"That's an illusion!" Chen Qiao suddenly raised her voice and shouted viciously, "It's an illusion created by people playing with you and misleading you! You are a man, how could you not like girls!? Men who like men are perverted, mine The son cannot be a pervert! Ye Minghe, I have never taught you such a thing."

Ye Minghe was hurt by her words, took a step back, and said: "I know I'm sorry for you... Mom, but whether you want to admit it or not... I am what you think is a "pervert". Girls are in relationships. It's not fair to them."

Then he gently broke off Chen Qiao's fingers that were holding onto his arm, and used the palm of his right hand to block the bright red marks made by the nails, and said, "You are too excited now, let's calm down first, and then sit down again." Let's have a good talk."

But Chen Qiao did not calm down as Ye Minghe expected.Her stubbornness is as hard to change as her tenacity. For most of the next winter vacation, both mother and son tried their best to persuade each other, but each was stubborn.

Chen Qiao couldn't convince Ye Minghe, and Ye Minghe couldn't convince Chen Qiao either.

So no matter how Ye Minghe concealed it, Fei Yizhen and Chen Qiao still had a chance to meet after most of the winter vacation.Chen Qiao was preconceived and had a prejudice against the Fei family, so her attitude towards Fei Yizhen was unavoidably indifferent, and her words implied mystery.It was really rare for Fei Yi to come to Ye's house once, but Chen Qiao ordered him to evict him when he was halfway through the seat.

In desperation, Ye Minghe could only confess to Fei Yizhen what had happened.

Fei Yizhen more or less guessed that Chen Qiao would find it difficult to accept this matter. In fact, compared to Fei Zhiming's open-mindedness, Chen Qiao's reaction was more in line with what he learned from the reactions of the people around him and various news events. , the parent's belief that their child is homosexual.

He said he could understand, and then asked Ye Minghe if he needed his help.

Ye Minghe smiled rarely in the past half month, and replied: "If there is any need for help, I will come to you again. Now I want to communicate with my mother first."

Fei Yizhen nodded, and replied: "Well. Don't be too stubborn with her, Auntie loves you very much. And remember that we will always be your backing. If I can't, there are seniors and sisters Well, they have experience in this area."

Ye Minghe hung up the phone.

In fact, Fei Yizhen didn't know enough about Ye Minghe's situation.

Chen Qiao is a very stubborn person, so she was able to raise her son after her husband's death.It's not that no one has persuaded her to remarry, but no one can force her to do what she doesn't want to do.

In contrast, Ye Minghe, who grew up in this situation, was much smoother and gentler, most of the time he seldom quarreled with Chen Qiao.In the relationship between mother and son, Ye Minghe retreated far more than Chen Qiao.

But after all, there are some things that Ye Minghe cannot back down.

Just like what Zhao Jingxi said, if he compromised in this respect, he would not only be hurt, but also an innocent girl.

This is Ye Minghe's bottom line.

But when Ye Minghe was still struggling and trying to communicate with Chen Qiao, Chen Qiao began to change his approach and began to invite various colleagues or girls from neighbors to come to play at home.

Ye Minghe is relatively well-known in the neighborhood. He looks good, can earn money early, and went to a prestigious university.If it wasn't for the issue of sexual orientation, Chen Qiao would be extremely proud of raising such a son.

So she must not allow Ye Minghe to go astray on this issue.

But his son, who was always obedient, was extremely stubborn at this time. Chen Qiao could not help but blame Fei Yizhen for this matter, and became more disgusted and hated towards Fei Yizhen.On the other hand, she decided to change her approach and let Ye Minghe have more contact with girls of the same age.

Opposites attract, this has been the truth since ancient times.

Ye Minghe really hated Chen Qiao's wishful thinking, but he has a gentle personality and can't get angry at the invited guests, so in the end he could only suppress his dissatisfaction, deal with it, and gradually began to try his best to deal with it. I avoid going out, preferring to squat in the company or McDonald's all day, and I don't want to go home.

Chen Qiao was also very annoyed by his non-violent resistance behavior. This afternoon she sat with her colleague all afternoon, and the other party's daughter started playing with her mobile phone boredly, but Ye Minghe still didn't come back.Called, but it was Ye Minghe's automatic reply "I'm busy".Chen Qiao naturally knew that what he was doing was only art design work, and it was only a part-time job during the holidays. How could he be so busy that he couldn't answer the phone?

After seeing off the guests, Chen Qiao felt a fire in her heart, turned on the TV and watched while waiting for him to come back.

Unexpectedly, before Ye Minghe came back, she saw an entertainment news.

The topic of the news is "Famous Writer and Singer Participated in P Large Gay Club Activities, Suspected of Coming Out of the Closet."

Chen Qiao stood up abruptly.
