brave and coward

Hua Lin wandered helplessly and sadly for a while, sighed softly, turned around and decided to go back to the second floor to try the Dafa of counting sheep.

He hadn't gone down two steps when the door to the master bedroom on the third floor opened behind him. Xue Younian called him softly, "Linlin? What's wrong?"

Hua Lin was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look up at him: "I'm sorry, did I wake you up?"

Xue Younian said softly, "No, I didn't sleep, so I just didn't worry about you, and wanted to see if you were asleep."

Hua Lin asked, "You haven't slept yet? What are you doing?"

Xue Younian smiled: "Reading. My schedule is not particularly standardized." He added, "This is a bad habit. I have to work hard to correct it. You can't learn it."

Hua Lin complained lazily: "I don't know how to learn, my schedule is very regular, maybe it's because of jet lag or something today that I can't sleep."

"Normal." Xue Younian asked, "Do you want to read a book together? Or chat for a while?"

Hua Lin thought for a while, nodded, followed him into the room, and told him worriedly: "If you want to sleep, just tell me, and I will go back. Don't disturb your rest."

"Yeah." Xue Younian keenly noticed that he was not wearing slippers, and said, "Sit down first, and I'll get you shoes. It just so happens that the carpets are being washed these two days."

"It's okay, I'm often barefoot at home." Hua Lin said.

"I have to take good care of you." Xue Younian smiled, and went downstairs to get his slippers.

Hua Lin didn't think much about it. It wasn't the first day that Uncle Xue treated him well, so it wasn't surprising.He even thought that if Uncle Xue remained unmarried and sterile, he would put Uncle Xue and his own parents together for the elderly in the future.

Xue Younian came up with his slippers, saw Hua Lin staring at his lonely pillow, and explained: "The guest room has been vacant all the time, and I only set it up when you come. The supermarket missed an order and didn't bring a pillow, so I'll go first I share mine with you, don't you mind?"

"What do you mind?" Hua Lin blinked, found a blind spot, and asked gossipingly, "Have you always lived alone?"

Xue Younian nodded.

If the other party was another elder, Hua Lin wouldn't dare to ask this topic, but the other party was Uncle Xue, he was a little more courageous, and tentatively asked, "You... haven't brought anyone back to live?"

Xue Younian didn't answer for a while, as if he didn't understand what he meant.But he felt that Uncle Xue should be able to understand since he was such an adult.

Hua Lin thought for a while, and continued to ask boldly: "Is it... a girlfriend?"

Xue Younian showed a suddenly realized expression, and shook his head: "I have never dated women."

Hua Lin's eyes widened immediately: "Wait! That—then..."

God!What a secret I discovered!

Xue Younian laughed and said, "I've let you down, I haven't dated a boyfriend before."

Hua Lin hurriedly said, "I'm not disappointed!"

However, Xue Younian's gentle attitude made Hua Lin more relaxed.

He felt that if he talked to other elders like this, he would probably be lectured.But Uncle Xue has always doted on him, and he has been abroad all these years, so he is much more enlightened than other elders.Awesome.

But Hua Linhui was somewhat embarrassed by the wrong meaning. He hurriedly looked around and tried to change the topic: "Hey——you were drinking just now?"

He saw a book and a half glass of red wine upside down on the small table on the small terrace.

Xue Younian nodded: "Drink some wine to help you sleep." He added, "It's not a good habit, you don't want to learn it."

"Oh. But it's okay to drink some red wine once in a while. But I'm not interested either." Hua Lin said.

Xue Younian smiled: "Good boy."

Hua Lin rolled his eyes, seeing that the misunderstanding and embarrassment about homosexuality had passed, he wentssiped back to the topic just now: "Then are you single?"

Xue Younian asked: "Is it popular to describe it like this now?"

Hua Lin nodded.

Xue Younian generously admitted: "Then I am."

Hua Lin suddenly felt that he was more powerful for no reason: "Why?"

Xue Younian leaned against the wall opposite Hua Lin, crossed his arms, and asked, "Why not?"

Hua Lin thought about it and found it very reasonable.Why can't mothers and fetuses be single?

But he still felt very surprised: "Surely many people like you, right? I heard from my parents that you were very popular when you were studying, and you received a lot of love letters. I think my dad blew that last sentence."

The smile lines in the corners of Xue Younian's eyes appeared faintly again, and he shook his head: "It's not bragging, your father is indeed a school girl, and your mother is a school girl. However, they have been together for a long time, and others can only send me love letters Here, after all, I am the only one on the order."

"Hey! Did you take money from them?!" Hua Lin didn't believe it, so he booed and continued to gossip, "Then you haven't met anyone you like, have you?"

Xue Younian said, "No."

"Isn't it too powerful?" Hua Lin gave a thumbs up, worshiping blindly.

Xue Younian looked at him for a while, his smile gradually faded, and he lowered his eyes and said softly, "It's just unfortunate."

Hua Lin was startled, and looked at him in surprise: "Uncle Xue?"

Perhaps it was because the hair was not combed meticulously before going to bed, and a few strands of bangs fell in front of his eyes, making Xue Younian look younger by several years, and also looked extraordinarily lonely.

Hua Lin couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

Alas, when you think about it carefully, Uncle Xue has been miserable since he was a child. Such a good person, just because he was cast in the wrong baby, his father didn’t love his mother, and some people poked him in the back openly and secretly. Now he has no partner or child, and he is still being punished. The brothers were forced to wander overseas alone, and the country did not dare to return...

Hua Lin regretted provoking this miserable topic, and he tried to remedy it: "That..."

"It's okay." Xue Younian cut him off.

Hualin: "Huh?"

Xue Younian raised his eyes to look at him, and Hualin's familiar spring-like smile once again appeared on Qingjun's face, and he said softly, "Even so, I always believed that I would meet my destined true love, it was just a matter of time." Questions, don’t be impatient. On the contrary, the longer you wait, the more mellow and delicious this relationship will be.”

Hua Lin opened his eyes slightly, and exclaimed, "Are you reciting poetry? Are your thoughts so romantic?"

I can't help but want to step on my parents who love to watch dog-blood TV dramas, and whenever the hero and heroine have a little misunderstanding, they will jump up and down in a hurry and crazily substitute themselves for cursing...

How should I put it... Uncle Xue is very foreign, and parents are very bully.

Xue Younian smiled, walked over and rubbed Hua Lin's hair: "If you continue, Uncle Xue's old background will be ruined by you. Are you still sleepy?"

Hua Lin yelled: "It's all said and done, what secrets are you hiding? Where do you get so many secrets? Otherwise, you can finish it all at once, otherwise I won't be able to sleep even more."

Xue Younian said with a smile, "I refuse."

"Xue~~~Uncle~~~" Hua Lin acted like a baby.

"It's too late, go to bed, or you won't grow taller." Xue Younian pulled him up from the bed.

Hua Lin shamelessly dragged his arm and lay down on the bed behind him, trying to counter his strength.But Xue Younian looks gentle, but has great strength.Hua Lin and him saw each other within two seconds, and he was pulled up by him, but he discovered the New World, and grabbed his arm and rolled up his sleeves: "Wow, are you still working out?"

Xue Younian likes to wear tight clothes on weekdays, and he doesn't look strong. Only then did Hua Lin realize that there are beautiful and strong fitness lines on his arms.

Xue Younian showed a deliberate and helpless sigh, and teased him: "You discovered another secret."

Hua Lin knew that he was teasing himself, but he was really teased, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, do you still have the legendary eight-pack abs? Or mermaid lines? I want to see!"

Xue Younian shook his head: "No. It's too late, go to rest, be good."

Hua Lin became more and more curious: "Don't whet my appetite! I'll take a look, just take a look! What's the relationship between us, it's okay!"

Xue Younian resolutely rejected him, pushed his shoulders and walked out: "Go and rest, go quickly, or you will sue your parents."

"Ah, Uncle Xue, how can you do this! Don't betray our alliance!!"

After all, Hua Lin was "driven" back to the guest bedroom on the second floor, and reluctantly returned to the quilt, tossed and tumbled for a while, finally fell asleep, and fell asleep silently counting sheep.

The next day, Hua Lin woke up, glanced at the sky outside the window, dazedly touched the phone to check the time, yawned, wanted to stay in bed, but looked at the slightly unfamiliar decoration around, sighed, and sent Xue Younian a message: Uncle Xue, are you up yet?

Although he guessed that Uncle Xue must have woken up, he still had a ten thousandth delusion, trying to find a reason for himself to stay in bed.

After Hua Lin sent the text message, he waited half asleep and half awake for a while, and Xue Younian sent him a message back: Are you awake?Everything in the bathroom on the second floor is new.I'm running in the morning and I'll be back.

He is really an idol, and he still runs in the morning, and look at Dean Hua, Dean Lin, who can stay in bed better than me when he is not working, hey, people are more embarrassing than others.

Convinced, Hua Lin got up, changed his clothes, and just after washing up, he heard Xue Younian calling himself downstairs, and trotted down: "Uncle Xue!"

Xue Younian looked like he had just finished running, wearing a full set of quick-drying sportswear, a sweatband on his forehead, and a little sweat on the tip of his nose, looking younger than his actual age.

While changing his shoes, he said, "Wait, I'll wash my face and make breakfast."

Hua Lin hurriedly said: "It's okay, you can take a bath, I'm not hungry."

Xue Younian said: "Then you have some fruit snacks first, I will finish washing soon."

"Okay." Hua Lin waved his hand, sat on the sofa and played with his mobile phone to send a message to his parents.

Xue Younian did wash very quickly. Before Hua Lin finished calling his father, he heard the sound of cutting vegetables and washing things from the semi-open kitchen behind him. He turned his head and said, "Uncle Xue."

Xue Younian responded, smiled at him, lowered his head and continued to work.

While Hua Lin was talking to his father, he went to visit Xue Younian for breakfast.

Originally, the Chinese restaurant last night that he seriously doubted was not opened by Chinese made him doubt Xue Younian's taste, and then doubted Xue Younian's cooking skills, but now he only looks at Xue Younian's beautiful and sharp food. The way he cuts vegetables feels that this is safe, he must have authentic Chinese food!

"... Uncle Xue is making breakfast... No, even without me, he would still have breakfast... Oh, it's not me..." Hua Lin was annoyed by his father's nagging, and said to Xue Younian, "I Dad wants to talk to you!"

As he said that, he turned on the speakerphone and pointed the phone at Xue Younian.

Xue Younian put down the kitchen knife, wiped his hands, and said to the phone, "Poetry City."

"You year! Hua Lin didn't cause you any trouble, did he? Don't spoil him, tell me secretly if you have something to do, and I won't tell him that you said it!" Hua Shicheng rebelled full of scheming.

"...Dad, it's hands-free now. And what happened to me here, you know, Uncle Xue didn't say it, who else could say it?" Hua Lin said speechlessly.

Xue Younian smiled and watched the two father and son bicker for a while, then suddenly picked up a small piece of chopped carrot and stuffed it into Hua Lin's mouth, then took the phone, turned off the speakerphone, and answered a few words with Hua Shicheng alone , basically they were all polite words around taking care of Hua Lin.
