"Have you really grown up?" Xu's mother sat in the passenger seat and looked up at her son. Xu Zheng didn't need to be weak at all.

Xu Zheng didn't answer this question directly, but said: "I'm very rational now."

Mother Xu unbuckled her seat belt, got out of the car, and said, "That's a coincidence. Let's go up and have a calm conversation, my dear, sensible child."

Get off work together, get off the car, go home hand in hand, and quietly get bored in the elevator when there is no one around. This time should have been when he and Fu Yue went home happily.

If there is no sudden arrival of his mother.

Xu Zheng opened the door, Xu's mother looked around undisguisedly after entering the door, and found that this room was no longer his son's alone residence.

The same style of slippers, illustrations on the wall, illustrations on the table, two mugs pasted together, two people smiling brightly in the photo frame, there are traces of another person everywhere in this house.It was in stark contrast to the cold black and white world when she came last time.

Xu Zheng sat down casually and asked, "Do you want to talk first, or eat first?"

Mother Xu said: "Your body is important, let's talk while eating."

The health awareness in Xu Zheng's bones was instilled in him by Xu's mother since he was a child, and it is so deeply ingrained that it cannot be changed.

Mother Xu and Xu Zheng cooked a meal together. In fact, neither of them had much appetite, so they both cooked very simple dishes by coincidence.

After sitting at the dinner table, Xu Zheng spoke first: "Fu Yue and I are lovers. It's not a word that can be described as a couple. It's not easy to get together like a couple. It's not just for fun. You just saw It's my ring, he has one too, what we wear is not a pair of couple rings, but a pair of wedding rings."

Xu's mother said: "In the relationship between men and women, people who wear couple rings may also break up, and people who wear wedding rings may also get divorced. I have seen couples who are still saying that they will go their separate ways tomorrow. Quite a few, a family tied together by true love is no more stable than a family bound by children, money, and responsibilities. Because the stability of true love is no stronger than the latter. In a romantic relationship, I think homosexuals are together The sense of responsibility will be weaker than that of heterosexuals, which will not guarantee anything."

"You are wrong. There are too many unreasonable points in what you said." Xu Zheng said.

Mother Xu frowned and said, "Tell me, what's unreasonable."

Xu Zheng said: "First, you can't use a group to measure an individual. It is inappropriate to use sentences such as 'homosexuality' compared to 'heterosexuality'. You separate the essence of homosexuality and heterosexuality. If you speak more seriously, I have reason to think you are a homophobe."

Xu's mother heard him finish, and said: "Homosexuality and heterosexuality are indeed different in many things. To put it bluntly, homosexuality can have unscrupulous sex/love without fear of conceiving children. This is how many homosexuals become AIDS patients. The reason is that homosexuals will be excluded by homosexuals in the whole society, homosexuals have to endure strange gazes that heterosexuals do not need to endure, and homosexuals will basically be opposed by their parents, can you deny these points?"

Xu Zheng said: "I can't deny what you said, but what I'm talking about is the essence, which means that whether you are gay or heterosexual, the essence is a relationship between loving and being loved, longing for love and enjoying love. At this point Above, there is no distinction to be made."

Mother Xu put down her chopsticks and said, "The main reason I came here is not to argue with you about homosexuality and heterosexuality. Don't miss the point, Zheng, let's get straight to the point. I want you to separate from Fu Yue. Before, my mother Your significant other is very strict, but I lower the standard now, as long as you don't stay with boys, there are so many innocent girls in this society, mother doesn't have to care about her conditions, I can accept whoever you like."

Xu Zheng raised his eyes and said, "Sorry, I can't do it."

Xu's mother had already thought about it: "Move first, leave here, cut off contact, and then go to integrate into other social circles and get in touch with more people. Mom believes that you will soon find other girls who make your heart beat .”

Xu Zheng looked directly at Xu's mother and asked, "What if I only like boys? What if I only like Fu Yue?"

"Zhengzheng, do you have to fight against your mother? Do you have to be angry with me?" Mother Xu took a deep breath, "Geting angry hurts your body, and getting angry hurts your liver. Mom doesn't want to quarrel with you."

Xu Zheng said: "It's you who insist on fighting against me. You don't respect my feelings, and you don't respect my lover. Yes, you are my mother, but that doesn't mean I have to behave like I did when I was a child. I listen to your command. If you say go to the east, I will not go to the west. You let me be a lawyer and I will be a lawyer. From childhood to adulthood, I have grown up according to your expectations. But I will not compromise this time , I have prepared for the worst, and in that plan, Fu Yue and I are still together."

Mother Xu took a few deep breaths and said, "I can't talk to you any more tonight, and I can't be in the same space as you. I'm going to stay in a hotel now, and I won't leave City H so soon, and I'm still I didn't tell your father about it, I'll come over next time."

"Okay, Mom, think about what I said." Xu Zheng sent Mother Xu downstairs, and seeing her leaving, exhaustion surged like a tide.

Xu Zheng returned home and started to clean up the dining table. Even though he didn't cook much, there was still a lot left. He found a new garbage bag and poured all the leftovers into it.

After tidying up the kitchen, he picked up his phone and saw the message Fu Yue sent 8 minutes ago.

- Brother, have you finished chatting with Auntie?How was the chat?

Xu Zheng typed out a paragraph, thought about it and deleted it, and changed it to - this time the chat is over, but I haven't convinced my mother yet, and we will talk again next time.

Fu Yue was in the next room, watching Xu Zheng's "The other party is typing..." flashing all the time, but in the end there was only such a short sentence.

He sighed, and sent a voice: "Then I won't go there tonight, it's quite late, brother, take a good rest, good night."

Xu Zheng soon sent a voice message: "Yuzhu, good night, see you tomorrow."

Fu Yue threw away his mobile phone and lay on the bed, feeling that Xu Zheng and his mother's conversation should not be very smooth, but Xu Zheng didn't seem to want him to know, so let him do what he wants.

He turned over, picked up the phone again, entered Xia Huai's contact number in the search box, thought for a while, and only sent a paragraph.

-Hi Senior Xia, I'm Fu Yue.I want to say that in the field of architectural design, give me another 15 years, I will not be worse than you.And Xiangzhu will inevitably become the surpasser and leader in architectural firms.If you are willing to join, then enjoy this journey to the top with me.If you don't want to, then please wait and see, look at me, look at Xiangzhu, and see how we get to the top.

As soon as he finished sending a text message to Xia Huai, Fu Yue received a WeChat message from Jiang Kaicheng. He clicked in and saw that it was Jiang Kaicheng asking - Xiao Fu, have you dealt with it yet?I have something to do now, I want to go through the formalities in advance, when is it convenient for you?

Fu Yue closed his eyes and replied to Jiang Kaicheng's message.

-Brother Jiang, can you wait for another three days?In three days I should be able to find another partner.Sorry to delay you.

- Well, you don't have to say sorry, it's me who should say sorry.

- How is your aunt?

-The operation was quite successful, and I am recovering in a good direction now, thank you for your concern.

- That's good, brother, be careful not to be too tired, go to bed early.

- Well, you go to bed early too.

This conversation ended like this, Fu Yue thought to himself, it's so strange, people who could be called friends at first, feel that everything is wrong after the partnership is terminated.

I didn't want to understand this question, so Fu Yue had no choice but to wash up and go to sleep.

Before going to bed, Fu Yue turned off the lights and quietly went to the balcony to take a look to see if Xu Zheng was asleep.

But finding that the light in Xu Zheng's room was still on, Fu Yue took out his phone to check the time.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

He rubbed his eyes, suppressed the urge to knock on the door in the past, returned to the bedroom and covered himself with a quilt, and fell asleep after a long time.
