Jade is not jade

When the atmosphere of the funeral gradually faded and everything became normal, Mother Liao privately asked Wang Min about his grandfather in the ward that day. Wang Min confessed to her about his relationship with Xiao Long, and Mother Liao was greatly shocked.

Wang Min calmly said: "Sijing has always known, but she didn't tell you?"

Mother Liao was silent for a long time and asked, "Grandfather supports you?"

Wang Min nodded: "It looks like it is."

Mother Liao sighed: "Unexpected..."

Wang Min: "Auntie, I liked him first."

Mother Liao smiled bitterly: "You have never been so protective of someone since you were a child. Can't you see it when you are an aunt? Well, you have always been sensible and have your own ideas. Since grandpa agrees, what can aunt object to? , over there with your father..."

Wang Min: "I know, I will convince him."

Not long after, Wang's father really asked about Wang Min's marriage: "After the Chinese New Year, I will be 29, so there is no one I like?"

Wang Min was startled, seeing his father's serious face, and replied seriously, "Dad, I'm not getting married."

"Nonsense!" Father Wang said, "I heard from your aunt that you probably don't want to start a family. You are so old and irresponsible to yourself! Do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"

Wang Min: "Dad, if you are worried about the heir, all the elder brothers will have children."

Father Wang said angrily: "Bastard, I care about you!"

Wang Min sighed: "I don't want to marry someone I don't like, although I don't want to say it, but aren't you alone now?

The father of the king was blown bearded and stared at by his son, "At least I have you and Wang Qi, you two bastards! If you don't get married, when you get old, old..." They all say that raising a child to guard against old age means that one can't live alone. , but if you are really alone all your life, without a partner or children, you will be very lonely and difficult.For his own son, Father Wang certainly didn't want him to go his own wrong way, but he also didn't want to watch him live a lonely life.

Wang Min suppressed the impatience in his heart, pondered for a moment, and confessed to his father: "Dad, Xiao Long will stay with me."

He is no longer the high school student who sulked and quarreled when his father scolded him, nor is he the conceited student with empty thoughts.

Nearly [-] years old, Wang Min has been able to take on many responsibilities on his own, and he is worthy of everything to anyone and everything.

For this day, he waited for a long time, forcing himself to be strong, to endure, and to make sacrifices for the person he wanted.

Now, he is ready.

Father Wang was puzzled and said, "Xiao Long?"

Wang Min nodded: "Well, we've been together for a long time."

A look of disbelief flashed across the man's face, as if he had doubts about what he heard. However, Wang Min's expression was extremely serious, it definitely didn't look like he was watching a joke, and Wang Min himself was not a person who knew how to joke.

He was not asking for his consent, but was stating the fact: he was with Xiao Long—a man.

After being careful, he was furious, but his son's next words were sprayed like a can of coolant, "Grandpa knows," Wang Min said confidently.

Father Wang: "&$#@..."

When Xiao Long learned that Wang Min had come out with his family, he was very nervous: "Your father is not angry?"

How can you not be angry?Such a big matter has been concealed for more than ten years, and it still insists on going its own way. However, "the situation is much better than I expected," Wang Min thinks.

Not only was he angry, he even scolded him, but Father Wang didn't say whether he supported or opposed it, and he didn't force him to do something he didn't want to do. All he had to do was wait patiently and let time give them the answer.

Xiao Long asked, "How did you tell your father?"

Wang Min smiled: "I moved grandpa out."

Xiao Long: "..."

Before his death, his grandfather left such an intriguing sentence in the ward, which frightened both of them.Afterwards, Xiao Long asked Wang Min what he had said to his grandfather, and whether he had told his grandfather about them, but Wang Min said nothing, just mentioning Xiao Long's name, Grandpa was about to call Xiao Long in.

What did grandpa know, his relationship with Wang Min?If yes, then he said that in support of them.If not, what does that sentence mean?god knows...

"Stop thinking about it," Wang Min patted Xiao Long's back, "If my dad makes things difficult for you, just say, grandpa knows."

"..." This move is too ruthless!

Xiao Long didn't expect Wang Min's house to pass the test so smoothly, but because of this, he felt anxious.Wang Min had completely given him over to him, but he was still hesitating whether to confess to his parents, and even fantasized about hiding it from them for the rest of his life.If this is the case, Wang Min's identity will never be disclosed for the rest of his life, and he will always hide with him.

Xiao Long couldn't help being impatient, it just so happened that Xiao's mother had been moving a lot these past few days, and she often called to urge him to go home, probably another blind date.At the end of last year, Xiao's mother even privately took Xiao Long's information to a TV dating show held by C City TV Station. If it weren't for Liao Sijing's check-in, Xiao Long probably wouldn't have the face to meet Wang Min.

"How busy your unit is, you won't go home for weeks and weeks!" Xiao's mother complained on the phone, "I must go home this weekend! I'm 28, and I'm not looking for a partner. Look at you Brother, my son is almost two years old!"

Mother's tone is unquestionable, what is Feng Shui turn?Xiao Long also experienced what it was like to be preached by his mother as a counterexample!

Sleeping at night, Xiao Long lay on the bed and sighed, Wang Min hugged him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Long: "Mom is urging me to get married again, it's so annoying."

Wang Min frowned slightly, but did not respond, Xiao Long rubbed his arm, and Wang Min said, "Go to sleep."

Xiao Long couldn't sleep, he wanted to do something, there was a strange force in his heart that might erupt at any moment, making him rush back to come out to his parents on impulse.But he is also very scared, afraid that his parents will be disappointed and angry, and even afraid that they will cut off relations with him. In fact, his mother has already begun to be disappointed. Not only did he not find a girlfriend, but he often avoided them...

Xiao Long sighed again, and Wang Min said softly, "If you sigh again, you will become an old man."

Xiao Long chuckled lightly: "I'm an old man, so you are an old man too."

Wang Min patted his ass: "Hehe..."

Before falling asleep, Xiao Long gave up and thought: Instead of living in fear day after day, it's better to ask for a knife!

On the weekend, Xiao Long bought a bunch of gifts and toys to coax the children back home.Xiao Meng has gained some weight in the past two years. The two brothers stood together, making it hard to tell who is the younger brother, but Xiao's mother was still worried about it: "Hurry up and find someone to marry. After thirty, there is no woman to take care of you. Twice as fast as your brother!"

Xiao Long smiled, no matter what reason his mother used to tempt him, he would never get married.

After dinner, Xiao Long chatted with Xiao Meng while playing with his nephew, as usual.He himself was originally a child at heart, and it was easy to get into trouble with his nephew. While having fun, he also had a lot of envy and regret. In this life, he would never have a chance to have his own heir...

Thinking of this, he loved Xiao Yue even more, and almost regarded him as his own son.

On the second night, after dinner, Xiao Meng and his sister-in-law went back to their home with their children in their arms. After they left, Xiao Long said to Xiao's mother with a serious face: "Mom, I have something to tell you."

Mother Xiao was packing her things: "Come later."

Xiao Long sat on the sofa alone to make mental preparations. A few minutes later, Xiao's mother sat next to him and asked, "What happened, so serious?"

Xiao Long twisted his fingers, and was silent for a long time before opening his mouth: "Mom, I like Wang Min."

Mother Xiao thought she heard it wrong: "What?"

Xiao Long repeated: "I like Wang Min, I love him." Glancing at his mother in petrification, Xiao Long gritted his teeth and continued, "I won't get married."

Xiao's mother was completely dumbfounded: "Speak slowly, what's the matter with you and Wang Min?"

Xiao Long drooped his head, and confessed to Xiao's mother that he went to Beijing together with Wang Minxiang in high school, and returned to cohabitation in City C now.

Mother Xiao was silent for a while, then suddenly yelled hysterically: "You must separate!" She knew that her son would not joke with her like this, it was true!

She thought of homosexuality, and thought of the social intolerance of that kind of people, and the fate of being branded with all kinds of infamy, and she couldn't help but turn pale.

Xiao Long was taken aback, but immediately after, he also froze, seeing his mother's eyes turned red within a second, and then tears flowed from her eyes like a faucet.

Xiao's mother cried while crying: "How can you, a man, like people of the same gender as you! This is not normal... It's my mother's fault that I let you go to Huahai to live on campus, and I didn't have a chance to care about you when I was in college. Let you go on a detour, now you are not normal, and Wang Min is also not normal, if you don't change, Mom will die! Mom is sorry for your dad~~~~!"

Listening to Xiao's mother's cry, Xiao Long's whole heart ached, as if cut by a blunt knife, he wanted to refute: That's not the case, Mom, we like each other!

But seeing his mother crying so sadly, his eyes were sore, and he couldn't help but shed tears...

The mother and son sat on the sofa, each crying, and the atmosphere was extremely sad.

This is the first time for the son who has always been soft-hearted and obedient to be so persistent, without saying a word... What to do, his father must not let this matter know, otherwise the old man will definitely collapse!Xiao's mother was in a mess of thoughts, planning how to calmly get her son to correct this problem, but unexpectedly, Xiao Taki said what she just said to him with the determination to break the boat...

The conversation with his mother ended unhappily, and Xiao Long lay on the bed, still suffering from insomnia.Xiao's mother in the master bedroom was also full of worries and couldn't fall asleep.

At five o'clock in the morning, Mother Xiao woke up early, planning to make some breakfast for her son, and then talk to him slowly.

After washing her face, Xiao's mother felt that there was something strange, and when she realized it, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.Xiao's bathroom is facing the entrance, where Xiao Long's shoes are gone!

Xiao's mother hurried to the room where Xiao Long slept, and when she opened the door, she saw that the room was empty, with the quilt neatly folded, and there was no sign of Xiao Long!

……

Xiao Long left, he left a letter to his family, and left overnight.

Just a few short lines in the letter——

"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm not good, I'm not filial, but I can't change it in this life. Thank you brother, I helped you hide it for so long, you know, don't blame him, and don't blame Wang Min, I like it first I'm gone, he will be fine, and he will send money to his family. Dad, Mom, I love you."

I don't know how the parents' reaction will be when they read this letter, but within a short time, Xiao Long dare not appear in front of them.Although he had long been mentally prepared to be betrayed by everyone, when he really faced the reality, the pain and reluctance in his heart almost cost him half his life.

Returning to Wang Min exhausted, Xiao Long burst into tears, Wang Min hugged him distressedly, didn't ask anything, just kissed him over and over again, and murmured in his ear: "I'm still here."

Xiao Long used all his strength to hug him back, like a child who is extremely insecure.

Only Wang Min knows how much the seemingly heartless Xiao Long values ​​the bond of family affection.Did he make such a huge sacrifice for himself...

A month later, Xiao Long resigned and boarded a plane to Los Angeles.

Yu Nian and Yang Jiayue picked him up at the airport. This was the first time they met since they graduated seven years ago. All three of them have changed their appearances. The only thing that remains the same is their friendship that remains unchanged through the years.

After the hug, Yang Jiayue smiled and asked, "Come out?"

Xiao Long let out a long sigh, and described himself as haggard.

Yu Nian: "Since you're here, let's have fun here and don't think about domestic affairs."

"That's right." Yang Jiayue patted him on the shoulder, "Sooner or later this hurdle will be overcome, and everything will be fine if you get through it."

Going to eat steak at a nearby restaurant in the evening, Xiao Long asked the two of them what was going on.

Yu Nian works at a local stock exchange, while Yang Jiayue is still squatting at home...

"Yang Jiayue!" Xiao Long said contemptuously, "It's been a few years, do you want to eat Yu Nian's rice for the rest of your life!"

Yang Jiayue retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, I earn no less than Xiaonian."

Xiao Long was puzzled: "Huh?"

Yu Nian admitted: "Well, he writes columns for domestic magazines, such as tourism, culture, etc., occasionally writes press releases, and also publishes a travel diary, which is said to be very popular in China."

Yang Jiayue raised his eyebrows, with an expression of "I see you are so good."

Xiao Long was really amazed: "You still published a book?! What's your name?"

Yang Jiayue: ""Traveling with a Couple", and a collection of essays, "From the Ocean to the Desert", pen name Yu Siyin, will be released at the end of the year."

Xiao Long himself is not good at literature, and he also studied pure science and engineering, so he was amazed by Yang Jiayue's shiny new identity: "Sounds amazing, great writer!"

Yu Nian: "That book is full of his photos, it's all hype!"

Being dumped by his lover, Yang Jiayue was not angry at all, but instead smiled: "Only by posting the photos can you sell them for money."

Yu Nian: "If you are reduced to selling your appearance to make money, how dare you show it off?"

Xiao Long saw that the two of them started arguing halfway through the meal, and continued until the checkout was over. Then Yang Jiayue's face turned dark. On the way back, Yang Jiayue drove past a traffic light, and an old man happened to be crossing the road. Yu Nian was nervous. Shouted: "Be careful!" Yang Jiayue laughed slowly: "I'm watching." The gentleness in his tone didn't seem like it would just happen after the quarrel.

The two men who were so outstanding at the moment have removed the halo of being the favored son of heaven, and accompany each other, take root and settle down in this city of angels, enjoying the most ordinary but also the most precious warmth in the world.
