Trivial Skin of Rebirth

That day, Ye Jiawen was teaching Xiang Xiaolong to do arithmetic problems, when the phone rang, he picked it up and saw that it was Zhou Lian calling.

He has maintained a "cooperative" relationship with Zhou Lian for two and a half years, and he doesn't usually keep in touch with each other. He only calls out when he needs the other party to come forward as a shield.Ye Jiawen gets a headache when he sees Zhou Lian's name, because it usually means that he may be going to drink someone's wedding or attend a relative's party again. It's an uncomfortable occasion, so he has to go even if he doesn't want to.

Ye Jiawen asked Xiang Xiaolong to do his homework first, went to another room to answer the phone, and sighed heavily as soon as he opened his mouth: "Time, place, character."

Over there, Zhou Lian was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I have something to talk to you about."

Hearing her serious tone, Ye Jiawen couldn't help becoming serious, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Lian said: "I happen to be in City S in two days, let's meet and talk about it."

Two days later, Zhou Lian really came to S City for a business trip. The two met in a quiet and deserted park. As soon as they met Ye Jiawen, she found that Zhou Lian's complexion was not very good-looking. Also took a few acne, it seems to be lit.

Zhou Lian is half a year younger than Ye Jiawen, and she is almost 28 this year. I don’t know if her family has discovered the clues of her relationship, or she simply feels that it is too embarrassing for a woman who is almost 30 years old not to marry. He had no intention of marrying Ye Jiawen, and while letting her hang Ye Jiawen, he started to let her participate in blind dates.

Zhou Lian said depressedly: "A divorced man in his 30s who has a son and whose salary is not as high as mine, my mother said he was good and could marry, and I wondered if I was their biological child!" The concept of the old people is indeed a bit overkill. Children are treated as freaks if they don’t have a partner. “It’s better not to marry than to marry well” is untenable to them. They would rather their children find someone to make do with than to be single.These elders may not love children, but their concept has gone wrong in a certain link, as if not getting married is the greatest misfortune in the world, and being married is the only way to be happy.

In fact, Ye Jiawen was also urged to get married recently. After expressing his sympathy for Zhou Lian, he said, "Sit down and talk to them calmly."

Zhou Lian said: "How do we talk about it? Do you think I haven't talked about it? It's quiet for a month at most. I thought about moving to another place to live, but my parents are only my daughter. If I want to leave, they will be sad and there will be no one." Take care, I stay and they force me to get married every day."

Now Ye Jiawen stopped talking.

Zhou Lian said: "I hope you can marry me."

To be honest, Ye Jiawen was not surprised.Zhou Lian mentioned the matter of physical marriage a year ago, and this time Zhou Lian asked him out, he guessed it would be this matter.He has also considered for a long time whether to accept physical marriage, because homosexuality is really under great pressure in society, if he is married to Zhou Lian, sometimes he can ask Zhou Lian to act as Xiang Xiaolong's mother for many occasions.But after Xiang Qingyun came out to his family, Ye Jiawen gave up this idea little by little.Even if he can handle Xiang Qingyun's family environment, why should he put himself in shackles for the rest of his life?Even if there is a woman in the family who can help Xiang Xiaolong grow up better for the time being, what will happen to Xiang Xiaolong when he gets older and knows about their relationship?Maybe for a child, it doesn't matter whether he has biological parents or not, what matters is whether he gets care, and this self and Xiang Qingyun are enough for him.

Ye Jiawen said sincerely: "I'm sorry, but I don't intend to accept a physical marriage."

Zhou Lian was a little puzzled and said, "If you don't get married, what are you going to do? The ultimate goal of dating is to get married. How can you just stay with the family for a lifetime like this?"

Ye Jiawen pondered for a moment, then said, "I plan to come out."

Zhou Lian was taken aback, her expression was distorted: "Come out?! Are you going to come out?!"

Ye Jiawen said: "Yes, coming out of the closet. There are too many things to bear in the marriage, even more than coming out. One is to cut the flesh with a blunt knife, and the other is to clean it with one knife. I don't have the courage to grind it slowly."

Zhou Lian's face turned pale and then red, and she murmured: "No, I dare not come out. If I tell them that I don't like men, they will probably take me to see a psychiatrist. I'm not married, they You're going to treat me like a different person." Then he looked at Ye Jiawen in a daze, "My parents are related to your parents, if you come out with your family? What should I do? You can't hurt me like this!"

Ye Jiawen thought for a while, and said: "I haven't told my family yet, I will inform you before I tell, and I will try not to let you be passive, even if my family members know, I will ask them not to tell your family Man, I can continue to play with you until you figure out what to do next."

Zhou Lian was silent for a long time.

In the end, Ye Jiawen said to Zhou Lian: "No matter what, you are their flesh and blood. If they know that you can't change it and can only be happy in this way, they will give in in the end. You are the only child, how could they Don’t expect you to be well? I’ll come out first, and I hope I can bring you courage.”

After reaching an agreement with Zhou Lian, Ye Jiawen did not immediately go back to City H to confess to Ye Shiqing.It's easy to say, but it takes a lot of courage to actually do it.In the previous life, Ye Jiawen didn't take the initiative to come out to his family, but one time Ye Shiqing suddenly went to see him in S City. Ye Jiawen was unprepared, but Ye Shiqing broke the matter between him and Xiang Qingyun. Now that Xiaolong is gone, Ye Jiawen no longer denies it, but admits it.Ye Shiqing was very angry and sad when he found out that his son was gay. He didn't make things difficult for Ye Jiawen and Xiang Qingyun, but he made things difficult for himself.He hadn't seen and contacted Ye Jiawen for a long time, and when Ye Jiawen went to see him after a while, he felt that he had aged a lot.

Ye Jiawen felt uncomfortable when he thought about the scene in his previous life. He didn't know why being gay would cause such great harm to himself and the people around him. However, he didn't feel that he What did I do wrong again.

This time, he intends to take the initiative to confess to Ye Shiqing, hoping that his active confession can reduce the harm to his family.

Lu Qing seems to have quarreled with Xiao Liu recently.Xiao Liu hasn't come to work for several days, and Lu Qing's face is not good these days, and the smell of gunpowder is very strong when talking to people.When Ye Jiawen went to his office to show him the blueprints, he was angered by him, and he yelled at Ye Jiawen, Ye Jiawen yawned for a moment, and smiled, "Boss Lu, you've regressed."

"What do you mean?" Lu Qing squinted at him angrily.

Ye Jiawen shrugged: "Don't bring your personal emotions into work, you told me."

Lu Qing's face darkened: "Do you think I'm blaming you?"

Ye Jiawen said, "I didn't say anything."

Lu Qing gritted his teeth, held back his anger and said, "Go out to work, don't hang around in front of me!"

After get off work in the evening, Ye Jiawen and Xiang Qingyun promised Xiang Xiaolong to take him out for dinner, so Xiang Qingyun took Xiang Xiaolong over early after get off work and waited downstairs at Ye Jiawen's company.

When Ye Jiawen went downstairs, he saw the window of the car downstairs rolled down, and Xiang Xiaolong was lying on the window happily waving his little hands at him, and shouted with saliva in his mouth, "Ye Ye! Uncle Ye!"

Xiang Qingyun also rolled down the car window and smiled at him.

Ye Jiawen felt that the pressure of the day's work had dissipated, and was about to walk towards them when he suddenly heard Lu Qing calling him from behind: "Ye Jiawen, wait a minute!" Ye Jiawen stopped, and saw Lu Qing following him. He came out behind him and stuffed a document into his hand, "Take this list back and have a look."

Lu Qing raised his head and saw Xiang Qingyun and Xiang Xiaolong sitting in the car.Lu Qing and Xiang Qingyun haven't seen each other for almost two or three years, but he knew about Ye Jiawen's adoption of Xiang Qingyun's little nephew, so he paused for a moment, then turned to Ye Jiawen and asked, "This is your child?" ?”

Ye Jiawen nodded: "Yes, his name is Xiang Xiaolong."

Lu Qing snorted coldly: "I really didn't expect that you and Xiang Qingyun could get along until now. To be honest, the two of you don't get along at all."

Ye Jiawen yawned for a while, and replied: "I've always planned for the rest of my life. How can I compare with Mr. Lu? I don't think anyone can match Mr. Lu."

Lu Qing's face darkened, and he stopped talking.Ye Jiawen felt that he was angry and felt a little regretful, so he hurriedly withdrew, saying "I'll go first and see you, Mr. Lu", put away the documents, and walked towards Qingyun and the others.

Ye Jiawen got into the car, and as soon as he closed the car door, he saw Lu Qing also walking in this direction, curled up his fingers and tapped on the car window twice, Ye Jiawen swung the car window down, and saw Lu Qing's eyebrows slightly As soon as he picked it, Ye Jiawen's heart skipped a beat.Lu Qing asked slowly: "Ye Jiawen, has your house in City H been renovated? I have a friend who just arrived in City H and has no place to live. I don't think you need your house. Can you lend it to him?" Stay for a few days."

The expression on Ye Jiawen's face froze instantly, and Xiang Qingyun turned around to look at him in confusion: "H City?"
