cactus on bay window

I just came back from working overtime at the company. Before I could take off my shoes, my phone rang. I saw that the number was my dad’s phone number.

I stared blankly at the incoming call for half a minute, because he hadn't called me for many years, and even if I called him, he would call directly to the landline at home, and if he didn't answer it, my mother would call him.This number exists in my mobile phone, it is just a symbol that I have a father, and it has no practical significance.

Suddenly seeing his call on the phone, I was so shocked that my heart beat wildly, and my hands trembled a little when I finally pressed the answer button.

"Dad?" I called out cautiously.

"Well, Yue Jiao, are you free? I want to chat with you." Although my father's voice sounded a little tired and sad, but after all, it was the first time in the past few years that he had a friendly face, which made me a little flattered.

"Yes, yes." I said repeatedly.

"You still remember your Uncle Zhou?"

"Remember." Uncle Zhou was raised by my father. When I was young, he often carried me around. I have a good impression of him.

"Some time ago, he asked me to go out and have a drink with him, and then he told me something, after listening to it, I have been feeling uncomfortable."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"He divorced your Aunt Zhou for more than five years, and he kept it a secret from others. Now he said that because in two months, he was going to get married again, and he said he would go to the United States to get married."

"Go to the United States?" I suddenly thought of a possibility in my heart, but felt that it was impossible for my father to tell me this kind of thing, so I asked, "Why?"

"Oh... I'm also surprised. I asked him what was going on, and your Uncle Zhou cried. What an optimistic person he is! He has been cheerful all his life, has never had a bad temper, and is very successful in life and work. I never thought that He can cry in front of me. He said... He has never been truly happy for a day in his life, and all happiness and joy are staged for others. He doesn't love you, Aunt Zhou, and he has felt guilty for her all his life, but in the end I'm sorry for his son. He said that his son came into this world not because of his love, but because of his hypocrisy and cowardice, because of his selfishness and sin. Every time he faces his son, he feels I am a sinner. He said a lot of things that he has suppressed all his life, and finally told me that he has not much time left, and he wants to live for himself for a few years, so he wants to marry the person he really loves. If it is not allowed in China, go to the United States , because it was with a man."

"Dad... why did you suddenly... tell me this?" I felt that it was too sudden.

"He has cirrhosis of the liver, and he's only 52." Dad's voice sounded particularly sad.

"Dad, don't be sad..."

"How can I not be sad? Uncle Zhou is an upright person, but he has lived his whole life in pain. When he finally figured it out, he didn't have much time."

"Dad... won't you look down on Uncle Zhou because he married a man?"

"If he wasn't your Uncle Zhou, I would definitely look down on him, but I know him, he is a good man. Yue Jiao...Did Dad make you feel bad all these years? I have always stood on my own ground and never thought about it. How you feel..."

"Dad..." I burst into tears and couldn't speak at all.

"Actually, I'm also very sad, but now that I've said it, I feel much better."

"Dad, I'm sorry..." I tried not to let him hear that I was crying.

"It's not easy for you. By the way, there is one more thing to tell you. A few days ago, Yue Yang called me and said that he liked a boy, and asked me whether he wanted to fall in love with that boy. I, you always take care of him and don't let him get too close to boys, is that what I mean? "

"Then... how did you tell him?"

"I didn't say I agree or disagree. I said I have to think about it. As for your matter, you can explain to him yourself. I didn't mean that, but I know that the reason why you control him is because of me."

"Dad, what do you mean..."

"You've all grown up, make up your own mind about your own life, don't wait until you're old and regret it all your life."

"Dad... thank you."

"Yue Jiao, let's go home to celebrate the New Year this year."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, I sat on the sofa and couldn't move for a long time, tears streaming down my cheeks involuntarily.Unexpectedly, Yue Yang came out to his dad on the phone, and his dad's reaction was so unexpected, Yue Yang didn't have to go through the pain I had in the past to be accepted.What surprised me even more was that after so many years of embarrassment and resentment about me, it was an outsider who really touched him.

The person I want to thank, Uncle Zhou, I don’t know how many years he can live, and the person who can marry him in the United States under such circumstances must love him very much, right?Although Uncle Zhou can only marry the person he loves at the age of 52, although his life is short and happiness comes too late for him, but I believe that when he passes away, he will have no regrets after all .

For my father to forgive and understand my son because of being touched by outsiders, I do have an indescribable heartache and sentimentality in my heart, but after all, he still forgives me, after all, he still gave me and Yueyang the freedom and freedom to choose our own lives. Right, I am still very grateful that he made this decision before I missed happiness, which finally liberated my contradictory feelings completely.

Thinking of this, I grabbed the key and flew downstairs. I was eager but suppressed my excitement to join the traffic jam. I drove for more than an hour to Yueyang's school.

When I ran into the dormitory building and ran up to the fifth floor, I almost knocked over all the people walking in front of me on the stairs. Amidst a lot of cursing, I knocked on the door of the 586 dormitory.

Standing inside the door was Ling Guo, who was stunned when he saw me appearing at the door of the dormitory panting heavily.

"Is Yue Yang in the dormitory?" I asked him standing outside the door.

He looked at me expressionlessly, and replied flatly, "Not here."

As soon as he finished speaking, I took a step forward, closed the door with my heels, hugged him, pushed him against the wall, and kissed him, all in one go.He was bewildered by my sudden behavior, and then pushed me away with great effort, and asked inexplicably, "Why are you running here at night?"

I answered him seriously: "I didn't have a convulsion, I just wanted to see you, so I came here."

"Why are you seeing me?"

"Work!"

"Are you out of spirits?"

"I'm in good spirits! It's great, that's why I'm in a hurry to find you." After finishing speaking, I threw myself on him again, found his lips and kissed him frantically, and then staggered and pushed him onto the bed side, pushed down on the bed.

He was resisting while talking, but his lips were still pressed by me, so it took him a long time to finish the sentence: "Yue Jiao... you... what are you doing... Yue Yang... will... come back at any time."

I just raised my head to look at him, my body was on fire and I didn't want to face this matter for a while. "I... want to do it with you now, what should I do?"

"You..." He looked at me puzzled, and there was still some anger in his eyes: "You drove me away from your house last night, but you came here to sleep with me tonight, what do you think I am?"

I sighed and smiled again: "Yesterday was my fault, I didn't take responsibility, and I didn't have the courage to make any promises to you, I'm sorry, don't be angry anymore, make up with me, I can't do without you."

"Are you crazy?" He pushed me up and looked at me wonderingly: "Why did you suddenly come to tell me this? This is not your style!"

"What's my style? Can't I be romantic? Nasty?"

"You scare me so easily, tell me, what's going on? What stimulated you?"

I laughed again, and kissed him again: "Don't ask, anyway, we can be together in the open and aboveboard, come and share the joy of this moment with me!"

"You mean..." He pushed me away again, looked at me in surprise and asked, "Can our relationship be made public?"

"Yeah." I nodded vigorously.

"Aren't you afraid that Yue Yang will know?"

"Not afraid."

"Aren't you afraid that your parents will know?"

"They already knew that I like men, but they don't know that I like you now."

"Can you come with me to see my dad?"

"Well, anytime."

"Then... let's go!" He stood up and walked out.

"Hey! Why are you going?" I asked strangely: "You don't want to see your dad right now, do you? It's so late."

He looked back at me and smiled: "Why are you so anxious to see him? Let's go to the room, I can't wait for this!"

I laughed too, and immediately chased after him.When we walked out of the dormitory, we met Yue Yang and Wang Yan who had come back.

"Brother?" Yue Yang stared blankly for a moment: "Why did you come here tonight? Isn't today Sunday? Could it be that I passed Saturday as Sunday?"

"Today is indeed Sunday." I smiled, then put my arm around Ling Guo's shoulder and said to him: "Lend it to your roommate for one night, and return it to you tomorrow morning."

"Ah...ah?" Yue Yang reacted belatedly, and asked in disbelief: "Brother...you...do you and Ling Guo have something to hide from me?"

"I'll tell you tomorrow!" I said, and left the school with Ling Guo in my arms.

There is a love-themed hotel not far from their school, and I didn't care about the curious eyes of the front desk, so I opened a romantic double room and dragged Ling Guo upstairs.

That night we had a lot of tossing, since I went to bed with him, I have never let go so much, screaming that the next door beat the wall, Ling Guo laughed while doing it, the more he laughed, the more excited I was, and then we put 18 on the bed I did all the rituals, and when I finally fell asleep with him in my arms, I forgot who I was and where I was.

When I opened my eyes the next day, although the room was still pitch black, the glimmer of sunlight coming through the cracks in the curtains was enough to show that it was already bright.I took out my phone and turned it on, and it was almost eleven o'clock, and I was already late for class and work.

"Ling Guo, get up." I gently pushed him who was refusing to let go with one arm around my waist,

He murmured and hugged him tighter: "Don't move, sleep again."

"It's too late," I said.

"It's too late anyway, so I might as well not go." He rolled over and pressed his lips against me.

"Stop making trouble, I have to go to work if you don't go to class."

"What class do you go to? I will support you."

I smiled: "What do you support me with?"

He raised his head, looked at me intently, and said seriously: "Love."
