brave and coward

Just like when he first confessed and pursued, Hua Lin once again moved Xue Younian with his enthusiasm and determination. He felt extremely excited about this, his soul was rippling, and he took the initiative to pull Xue Younian to study about marriage and adoption every day. things.

The weather in the afternoon was fine, and Hua Lin was lazily leaning against Xue Younian, dozing off to watch him check the information, when suddenly a clear message sounded, and a new email notification popped up in the lower right corner of the computer screen.

Hua Lin subconsciously glanced at it. It was sent by a certain domestic airline, and the subject was to give Xue Younian mileage for returning home.

Generally speaking, if the customer has accumulated enough miles, the airline will give them away.But it is not absolute, there are also gifts in other situations, such as some unexpected activities.Moreover, although Xue Younian has been abroad for many years, it is not uncommon for him to have registered an account with a domestic airline.

Hua Lin didn't think much, yawned, closed his eyes and planned to squint for a while.

Ten seconds later, Hua Lin opened his eyes and looked puzzled at Xue Younian who had not moved: "What's wrong?"

Xue Younian came back to his senses, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I just... remembered your parents. Maybe it's not appropriate for us to do this, once they find out..."

Hua Lin is very optimistic: "When the time comes, the raw rice will be cooked, and they will not let us abandon it. Don't think about it again!"

Xue Younian nodded, then moved the mouse over, and naturally crossed out the email reminder.

Hua Lin chatted smoothly: "Is there any festival recently? Sudden bonus miles."

Xue Younian said, "I don't know. Maybe it's the off-season."

"It's also possible." Hua Lin suddenly became energetic, "Hey, let me see mine!"

As he said that, he was about to get up and go to the opposite table to get his laptop, but Xue Younian suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Hua Lin was startled, and turned to look at Xue Younian.

Xue Younian looked at him with a smile: "What are you looking at?"

Hua Lin explained: "I also have this account, let's see if it gives me mileage, it's not worth it!"

After two seconds, Xue Younian let go of him, jokingly said, "What wool are you pulling?"

Hua Lin went to turn on his computer, and joked back: "I'm the kind who gets richer and more stingy, can't I?"

"It's not called being stingy, it's called enjoying the discount reasonably." Xue Younian smiled, looked back at his computer screen, and calmly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

After 2 minutes, Hua Lin curled his lips: "I didn't see you off."

Xue Younian looked at him again: "Call and ask?"

Hua Lin turned off the computer and said casually: "Forget it, I'm just joining in the fun. Maybe it has something to do with the registration year?"

Xue Younian pretended to hold the phone: "Let me ask."

Hua Lin hurriedly said: "Don't ask! I just said casually just now—" At this time, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and he took it over to look at it, "My classmate is looking for me...Hello?"

Xue Younian watched Hua Lin go out to answer the phone, looked away, glanced lightly at the email opened on the screen, moved the mouse over, and clicked delete.

Xue Younian observed nervously for a few days, and was relieved when he saw that Hua Lin hadn't brought up the matter again, and laughed secretly at himself.

But this is inevitable.

Just think that Hualin might know that he once admired his father...

Xue Younian didn't dare to think too much about this development, so he could only quietly speed up the process of marrying Hua Lin and adopting a child.

You can leave when you are married, but it is not easy to get back if you have children.Therefore, Xue Younian was more anxious to adopt a child with Hualin than to get married.Before he got married, he arranged to go to an adoption agency for an "interview".

At this point, Hua Lin didn't say anything else, in short, he just followed Xue Younian's arrangement.

But when it came, there was a little accident——

Hua Lin waited for Xue Younian to go to the interview together in the cafe, but he only got a call from Xue Younian.

Xue Younian's voice was the same as usual: "Sorry, I suddenly encountered something, and I can't pass today. I will contact the staff over there to explain. You go back first."

Hua Lin said "Oh", "Are you all right?"

Xue Younian smiled: "Don't worry, it's fine, I'll explain it to you face to face later."

Hua Lin said "Oh" again: "Okay."

After finishing the call, Hua Lin sighed softly, and he couldn't tell if he was relieved.

To be honest, agreeing to adopt with Xue Younian is almost entirely out of affection for Xue Younian. He currently has no enthusiasm for being a father and only wants to graduate and get a title.

After Hua Lin finished his coffee, he got up and was about to leave when he heard someone call "Peter".His English name is not this, so it doesn't matter, but he was hugged from behind and said something in Italian.

Hua Lin, who was in the shadow, was startled, and quickly turned to look at this person.

It was a foreigner, very handsome, smiling and continuing to yell at him... His voice gradually faded away, and the foreigner showed a little hesitation.

Hua Lin's foreign language is only English and German. After thinking about it, he said in English: "Did you recognize the wrong person? I'm not Peter."

Only then did the other party let go of him, and sincerely apologized, saying that he and Peter looked alike.

Hua Lin didn't take it seriously, smiled and was about to leave, but was stopped by this man, struck up a conversation in English, and asked for his contact information.

Being accosted by a handsome guy, Hua Lin felt a little complacent at first, but immediately thought that he looked like that Peter, and his mood went down.

This looks like a stand-in!Or stamp collecting?In short, it is not its own charm!Instant upset.

But Hua Lin didn't show it, he still smiled and declined.

The handsome foreign guy shrugged his shoulders in frustration, and didn't bother, but just muttered a few more words that Hua Lin and Peter really looked like each other.

Hua Lin smiled politely, looking for a chance to slip away quickly.

In the evening, after Xue Younian came home, Hua Lin was about to tell him what happened in the afternoon as a joke. He first came and hugged Hua Lin, and sincerely apologized and explained the missed appointment in the afternoon, saying that there was an emergency at that time.

"Business must be urgent, I'm fine. By the way, what about the adoption side? Reschedule?" Hua Lin was eager to postpone it, and it would be a day if it could be delayed.

Xue Younian said, "Well, it's changed to tomorrow."

Hualin: "..."

Is this adoption agency so busy? !

He could only smirk: "Very good..."

Xue Younian saw Hua Lin's perfunctory behavior, but pretended not to see it, and kissed Hua Lin gently and lingeringly, deliberately showing a fragility and anticipation, and whispered the warm blueprint of a family of three.

He knew that Hua Lin couldn't refuse such a self, even if Hua Lin didn't want to, but Hua Lin would soften his heart and would be willing to accommodate himself to do these things.

He was despicably taking advantage of Hua Lin's soft heart.

As expected, the more Hua Lin listened, the softer his heart became, thinking of Xue Younian's tragic life experience and childhood again, he felt in his heart "some people just spend their whole life to heal their childhood", and felt "I am the hero who can heal him ", the spirit of chivalry instantly filled his soul, and he couldn't help but become emotional. He was about to make out with the pitiful "Cinderella" who was waiting for his rescue, when Xue Younian's cell phone rang.

Xue Younian didn't intend to answer, but the phone kept ringing, so he had no choice but to let go of Hua Lin, got up to get the phone, glanced at the caller number, and smiled apologetically at Hua Lin: "It's still about today's project, I guess I've been busy recently... I'll go to the study and talk."

"Oh, good." Hua Lin nodded, picked up his teacup and watched today's news on TV.

Xue Younian went to the balcony of the study upstairs, closed the door, looked outside through the glass, answered the phone, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

There was an equally gentle voice from the other end: "It's nothing, I just missed you. It's strange to say that I haven't contacted you for so many years, and I didn't feel much, but now that I'm back, I met you today, but even a few times Hours of separation are hard for me."

Xue Younian chatted with him for a while, and said tactfully, "Peter, I have something to do here..."

Peter said wittily, "It's very late, let's talk about it tomorrow." After a pause, he said, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Xue Younian hung up the call, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, and so did the light in his eyes.

He took repeated, deep breaths.

Peter is a reporter of Chinese descent. The two met by chance many years ago. Peter's appearance looks a lot like Huashicheng... So Xue Younian didn't refuse Peter's approach at that time. He even tried to fall in love with Peter, treating Peter as Huashicheng. A substitute for the city.

But he failed.

Except for appearance and gender, Peter has almost no similarities with Huashi City.

Every time Xue Younian looked at Peter, he felt strange, and even gradually became disgusted.It's not against Peter, but against trying to replace Huashicheng's self with Peter.

He couldn't continue, so he found a reason to break up with Peter peacefully.

Later, Peter became a war correspondent, and he went there for several years, until today he suddenly contacted Xue Younian, saying that he came back and wanted to meet.It was only then that Xue Younian suddenly thought of such a person. At that moment, his spine felt chills, and the first thing he thought of was: Hua Lin can't let this matter know!

He couldn't explain why he had a relatively intimate and ambiguous relationship with a man who looked exactly like Huashi City many years ago.Hua Lin is not a fool, so he must be suspicious.

Xue Younian was afraid that Peter would appear in front of Hua Lin, so he reluctantly postponed the adoption interview scheduled for this afternoon, and stabilized Peter first.

What Peter meant was obvious, he wanted to continue his relationship with Xue Younian.

Xue Younian politely refused, but Peter didn't bother, but then announced a big news for Xue Younian: due to physical and other considerations, Peter planned to return to Germany for at least three to five years. , he wants to use this recuperation time to further his studies, and he has already received offers from several local universities, including the school where Xue Younian teaches, and is currently choosing.

Peter joked that out of personal feelings, he was very inclined to become Xue Younian's student and pursued slowly.

Xue Younian: "..."

Is there any difference between this and directly arranging Peter and Hua Lin to sit together for a meal and introduce each other?

Xue Younian managed to persuade Peter temporarily, but apparently Peter did not give up completely.Then this is an untimed bomb|bomb.

Why come back suddenly?Why do you want to think about the old things and people seven years ago?

Xue Younian lowered his eyes, staring at the blinking signal lights on the phone in a daze.
