God said I would meet you

"So..." Lin Huainan seemed a little skeptical, and asked, "What's the matter with Grandpa telling you?"

"It's nothing, just an internship next semester, and I wish him a birthday when I have time."

This weekend is indeed Grandpa Lin's 82nd birthday. If no one specially invites him, Zhang Xinli is unlikely to know. Lin Huainan trusts him a little bit. He nodded and said, "When did you arrive? How is everything at home?"

"It's not bad," Zhang Xinli said politely, "General."

This is not a place to talk, Lin Huainan exchanged a few words and went back to the parking lot, telling the two of them to sit up, Zhang Xinli waited for him to drive away, and took Lin Jinyu up the elevator.

The bright blue elevator buttons lighted up, and the car rose steadily, followed by a slight sense of weightlessness. Lin Jinyu was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Zhang Xinli asked back, "Why should I leave?"

"My Father."

"What can he do to me?" Zhang Xinli looked at the reflection of himself and Lin Jinyu on the elevator door: "Transfer or contact the principal to let me drop out?" He said, "Jinyu, you and I are not children anymore."

Although the university can transfer students in name, but if there are no special circumstances, it will be difficult to meet once in many years, not to mention that China is so big, his father may have something to do with it in the local area. After leaving Shanghai, every place is a place... ...and what's the use of changing schools?We are all adults, can we chop off both feet?

Lin Jinyu was a little tired, he leaned to the side and asked, "What if we are found out, there are not a few days left until the weekend."

"What did you find?" The door opened, Zhang Xinli took him out of the elevator, walked to the door of the house, and pulled his finger to open the door very naturally - his fingerprints could also open the door of Lin Jinyu's house, but now it has been blocked. Deleted: "You think I'm lying?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Jinyu thought he was talking nonsense just now in a hurry: "How did you find this place?"

Zhang Xinli only said two words, skipped all the trivial torture and heart-wrenching process, and said, "Inquire." He turned to look at Lin Jinyu, and said, "Your grandfather really asked me to come here."

Lin Jinyu's two months of no news made him very anxious, but in many things, he could not get the results he wanted by rushing forward with enthusiasm. Zhang Xinli guessed from the information reflected by Xu Zhao that the conflict between Lin Jinyu and his family was very intense, otherwise He wouldn't even be allowed to come to school, so before he came, he called Lin Jinyu's grandfather specially to check on his health. The two chatted for a while, and the grandfather asked a few words about his family's situation, and naturally invited him to be free on the weekend Come and eat.

The two entered the living room from the door. Zhang Xinli poured him a glass of water and asked, "Do you want to watch TV?"

Lin Jinyu hadn't had this kind of entertainment for a long time. He sat blankly for a while and said, "No..." He kept swallowing, and said, "I feel bad."

His mood was always uncontrollably heavy and depressed. Zhang Xinli calmly put the case that he had been holding upside down behind him, and asked, "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Lin Jinyu suffered from insomnia at night during this time, often at two or three o'clock in the morning, he did not feel sleepy. He looked tired, nodded, got up and walked to his room.

Zhang Xinli asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Lin Jinyu shook her head, told him that his parents would be back later, and then went into the room and closed the door.

A few minutes later, Lin Huainan came back, he walked in, scanned the living room, and asked, "Where's Xiao Yu?"

"He's gone to bed," Zhang Xinli said, "He...looks very bad. Uncle, Jin... What's going on with Lin Jinyu?"

"He..." Lin Huainan also looked extremely tired. He sat on the sofa, took off his glasses, and rubbed the bridge of his nose... Probably because he felt that family affairs should not be publicized, Lin Huainan withdrew the first half, and only said briefly: "The doctor said It's mild anxiety."

He thought that the two had just had a conflict, and Zhang Xinli was questioning him out of an unhappy mood, so he apologized slightly: "He has something during this period...he just had a fight with you, don't mind, it will get better soon of."

From the corner of his eye, Zhang Xinli fell on the medical record on the sofa, his eyes were serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.What reason should he use to convince himself to believe it?

Lin Huainan was actually rushing home to accompany Lin Jinyu, and there were still many things to do at hand. After a short rest, he put his glasses back on, took back his computer bag from the stool, and said, "Stay here for dinner later. Well, uncle has something to do... you can watch TV in the living room by yourself."

Zhang Xinli agreed, and watched Lin Huainan enter the study.

He sat back on the sofa, did not turn on the TV or play with his mobile phone, but picked up the medical record and spread it out, and began to read page by page. He tried his best to distinguish those illegible and contiguous notes, from The very first page, all the way to the last page.

About 10 minutes later, Mrs. Zhou, who was cooking, came to the door.

Carrying a large thermos bucket, she said in Mandarin with a Cantonese accent when she entered the door: "Oh, has the temperature dropped recently? It's a bit sunny outside, so I need to add more clothes."

Zhang Xinli is very familiar with this accent, and Mrs. Zhou would often say "Leng" when she said "cold".She actually knew Zhang Xinli, and she was very surprised to see him after changing her shoes, and kept saying, "Xiao Zhang, ah, I haven't seen you for many years."

Zhang Xinli put down the medical records in his hand and said hello. Mrs. Zhou has grown older these years, and her legs and feet don't seem to be as sharp as before, but her words have not diminished. An enthusiastic elder.

Zhang Xinli glanced in the direction of Lin Jinyu's room, walked into the kitchen, and Mrs. Zhou said, "You sit down, I'll come. I'll make some good dishes today, including Laohuo soup and sweet and sour pork ribs."

Sweet and sour pork ribs pay attention to the heat, as well as the amount of rock sugar and vinegar. All aspects must be just right. If you add less sugar, there will be no sour, sweet, salty taste. If you add too much sugar, it will be difficult to swallow. Zhang Xinli stood behind and watched for a while , suddenly said: "Can you teach me?" He said: "Teach me how to cook southeast cuisine."

……

The meal was served soon. Lin Huainan came out of the study and knocked on Lin Jinyu's door with a "bang bang bang" and called him out for dinner. He probably felt a little sorry for Zhang Xinli's sudden transfer to another school, and didn't spend the past few days with his son. The anger of torment and the anger of "bringing his son bad" were vented on him, and he very gently invited Zhang Xinli to come and have dinner with him.

Mother Lin, who came home late, also asked him to sit down. When Lin Huainan knocked on the door of Lin Jinyu's room, she said "be gentle".

Lin Jinyu opened the door messily and came out, and sat down on the table as if he was sleepwalking. He was holding chopsticks but he had no appetite. When eating, he picked them bit by bit like counting grains of rice.

When he was not in the mood, he just talked less, didn't speak much, and stayed in the room all day. Except for Zhang Xinli who had seen him like that, no one else could notice the obvious abnormality.

Since that incident was exposed, communication among their family has become increasingly rare. Meal time is considered a rare day when the family gathers in one space. Parents always want to use this opportunity to say something.

After taking a bite of the food, Lin Huainan said in a mild tone, "Xiao Yu, what did the doctor say today? Do you feel better?"

Lin Jinyu didn't know which aspect his father was asking about, orientation?Or emotions... He thought subjectively: Why does my dad care about my emotions? He wants me to die.

In fact, Lin Huainan didn't mean to mention the disgusting thing of "homosexuality" in front of Zhang Xinli, he just wanted to ask Lin Jinyu if he felt better, but Lin Jinyu didn't think so, he thought that Lin Huainan was forcing him all the time, so he said : "The doctor said I'm fine, you should go to a mental hospital for treatment."

There are still "outsiders" here, such rebellious words are obviously not in line with Chinese people's concept of politeness, Lin Huainan was very annoyed, Lin's mother said: "Xiao Yu, Dad just cares about you, and asked if you feel better."

"I feel good, I feel good, I feel good," Lin Jinyu said, her voice getting louder and louder: "I don't need to go to the hospital! How many times do you have to say it before you stop asking?"

"What are you yelling at?" Lin Huainan put down his chopsticks: "Can't you say something calmly?"

"I don't want to say it!" Lin Jinyu looked at his father, the knuckles of his fingers holding the chopsticks turned blue, and the chopsticks made a deep mark on the rice in the bowl: "Can you let me go! Let me have a quiet meal meal!"

He refused to accept this kind of communication during meals. Parents feel that they are usually busy and don't have much time to spend with their son. Eating is a good opportunity to educate him, but Lin Jinyu feels that you keep me at home, and you don't see each other a few times a day, but you have to hurry up. The firepower output during the few minutes of eating, why?Why don't you usually listen to me, but when it's your turn to talk, I have to listen?

Lin Huainan said: "You have to lock yourself in the room and see this meal in one day. I want to use this opportunity to talk to you calmly!"

"I don't want to listen to you!" Lin Jinyu yelled, "How many times do I have to say it before you understand?"

Lin Huainan just asked a question about concern and was angry when his son rejected him and contradicted him like this: "I just asked you how you feel. You have everything you want in this family, but now you have been taught like this. What do you really think?" Is everything as you wish?"

The father and son were at each other's throats. Lin Jinyu kept saying "Let me be quiet for a while" and refused any communication. Lin Huainan felt that he was unreasonable and insisted on saying that the meal would be unpalatable if this continued. Mother Lin felt logically This matter is indeed wrong with the son, no matter how much he should not just talk to his father like this, but Lin Huainan should not get angry, she tried to be a referee to reason with both sides, but the third party can never convince anyone, the final result is that the more It's getting messy.

Zhang Xinli finally realized how depressing the atmosphere was. He watched from the sidelines for a while, and finally stretched out his hand to hold Lin Jinyu. He’s been like this all this time as I’ve been told, so don’t mind me, and you shouldn’t mind either.”

Everyone has a good face, outsiders sometimes work better than family members, Lin Huainan calmed down, he breathed for a while, suppressed his temper, and picked up the chopsticks again.

However, Lin Jinyu put down her tightly clenched chopsticks and said, "I don't have an appetite, I won't eat." As she spoke, she pushed the stool away as if she wanted to leave.

He didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food at all, and Lin's mother said: "You don't eat, your father can't even talk about it, let's eat."

"What to eat," Lin Jinyu said with thorns everywhere: "You can eat well, and you will be happy if you are happy and satisfied. Just treat me as dead."

Hearing his words, his parents frowned, and they were about to have another attack. Zhang Xinli held him down and said, "Okay, let's not talk..." He followed Lin Jinyu's words: "You treat us as if we don't exist. Let's eat our own food."

Lin Jinyu frowned and said, "I said I don't want to eat."

Like coaxing a child, Zhang Xinli put a piece of pork ribs for him and said, "Try it... I made this one."

Lin Jinyu glanced at him, Zhang Xinli looked at Lin Jinyu's parents, and said, "Uncles and aunts, you should try it too. It may not be very tasty for the first time."

Lin's mother immediately cooperated with him to change the atmosphere, tasted it, and said in surprise: "It's very good, Xiao Zhang, you have talent."

Lin Jinyu looked at the pork ribs in the bowl. Only he knew that this guy was not cooking for the first time. He learned it a long time ago by checking Baidu on his mobile phone. This was the first dish that Zhang Xinli specially learned for him.

He picked up a few mouthfuls of rice and ate it.

Mother Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and the family ate silently. Lin Jinyu only ate the sweet and sour pork ribs, and didn't eat any other dishes.After a while, Lin Huainan's anger probably subsided, he hesitated for half a second, took the initiative to order some food for Lin Jinyu, and said, "Eat more vegetables."

It doesn't matter if you don't pick it up, it's a bad thing if you pick it up, Lin Jinyu stared at his father with dark eyes for three to five seconds, then suddenly used chopsticks to pick up all the vegetables and threw them away, not even a single leaf was left.

Zhang Xinli started to have a headache, this was some kind of naked insult, Lin Huainan got angry again, his anger was even hotter than before, he couldn't bear it, and finally scolded him: "What do you mean by throwing it away? Did I owe you anything in my previous life? I gave you food and clothes, and it still depends on your face? Loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, do you have the same? You read in the stomach of a dog when you read outside!"

Lin Jinyu spat out the food in his mouth. He stared at his father's face sullenly. He thought his father should know why he was like this, but why didn't his father know?

The more Lin Huainan talked, the more he got angry, and the more he talked, the more he got up: "I'm outside every day, asking for money, asking for this and that, which time didn't I give it to you? But you... what are you doing outside? Skipping classes, renting a house, being outside Fooling around with disgusting people!"

"I didn't fool around with disgusting people," Lin Jinyu gritted his teeth: "You are the fucking disgusting one, you are the most disgusting in the world."

This is no longer the tone he used to speak to his father, as if facing some kind of enemy, Lin Huainan almost choked up: "Okay, I'm disgusted," Lin Jinyu said without restraint, and he also began to lose his mind, even regardless of Zhang Xinli was still present: "You Say, make it clear, who do you live with? Who do you hang out with? Make it clear today!"

"No one," Lin Jinyu said, "I'm the only one."

"Impossible!" Lin Huainan said, "How did the things I found come from? I'm talking nonsense with my eyes open."

He was referring to the condom in the bathroom, which was indeed something Lin Jinyu couldn't explain, so he remained silent.

Lin Huainan didn't intend to forget it as before. He originally thought that as long as Lin Jinyu could correct himself and start again, it would be fine not to track down who that person was, but repeated failures also made him fall into anxiety, and the way forward seemed hopeless. Today he must press to find out who is who.

He put the bowl heavily on the table, and said, "Speak up! It's impossible to appear out of thin air. Don't do anything until you make it clear today. Everyone is standing here waiting for you."

Zhang Xinli's eyes flashed, looking at Lin Jinyu, but Lin Jinyu didn't look at him, he didn't even look at his father, he just stared at the bowl in front of him.

The two sides were in a stalemate. After an unknown amount of time, Lin Huainan lost his patience. He got angry again and pushed all the dishes on the table together, making a loud and startling sound: "Hurry up! Do you want me to Go to the business hall one by one to check your call records?"

The message records on the phone can be deleted, but the call records in the business hall are beyond Lin Jinyu's reach. Once his father checks them, he will find that he and Zhang Xinli did not meet recently at all, they have been in touch all the time.

Lin Huainan gave him three seconds, then took out his mobile phone and really started looking for the number of the business hall.

Lin Jinyu became short of breath. Zhang Xinli is here right now, right beside him. If his father knows now...he dare not imagine the consequences. He looked at his father and said, "No...no!"

Lin Huainan clutched the phone, his eyes were full of anger: "Tell me, who exactly did you have sex with?"

Lin Jinyu's eyes turned from left to right, and then from right to left... Lin Huainan turned on the hands-free, and let the beeps sound like death in the restaurant. Lin Jinyu's heartbeat accelerated exponentially, and the unknown beep Don't know when it will be connected.

He even raised his hands and grabbed his father's mobile phone like crazy, Lin Huainan pushed him away mercilessly, the phone was connected, and the gentle female voice of the customer service resounded in the restaurant: "Hello, welcome to call... "

Just when Lin Huainan was about to press the number, Lin Jinyu finally said: "No one!" He broke down and said, "It's a man I don't know! I just dated him outside! I don't know who he is or what his name is, you Are you satisfied?"

There was deathly silence, and after a while, Lin Huainan suddenly reached out and slapped him across the face.

It was a very hard slap, harder than the one when he found his diary in high school.

He never thought that his son would do such a thing.

This sudden slap was beyond everyone's expectations. Neither Zhang Xinli nor Lin's mother had time to react. Lin Jinyu licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling the burning dull pain on his face, turned to look at his father, and said, "Are you satisfied?" Yet."

His father insisted on forcing him to say things he didn't want to say.

Lin Huainan was so angry that he almost trembled: "You..." He said, "Do you know how dangerous this is? Those people are so sick, have you ever thought about me and your mother..."

"Anyway, this is how I am in your eyes." Anyway, there is no such thing as a fig leaf, Lin Jinyu simply spread everything on the table and said: "It's just disgusting homosexuality, dirty, dirty and bad, plus this , there is no difference."

He said, "Dad, are you happy now?"

Lin Huainan hated that iron cannot be made into steel, why did his child become like this, so unselfish and irresponsible to himself, he stepped forward and grabbed Lin Jinyu's clothes on the chest, he wanted to ask him why he did this.

"Tell me why? Why do you want to do this?" He used so much force that Lin Jinyu was almost out of breath... Lin Jinyu turned his face away indifferently, just when he was about to swear some bad words, he had better be angry When his father beat him to death, suddenly a hand stretched out, bit by bit, he opened Lin Huainan's fingers and let him let go.

That hand was a healthy wheat color, so steady and so strong.

Lin Jinyu and Lin Huainan turned their heads together. Zhang Xinli, who was originally standing on the other side, came over at some point. He broke Lin Huainan's hand holding Lin Jinyu's clothes, and then inserted between the two of them, blocking Lin Jinyu, like Some kind of barrier separated Lin Huainan.

"Enough is enough..." Zhang Xinli looked at Lin Jinyu's father with a heavy, resolute, but painful expression on his face: "Enough is enough, Uncle," he said, "It's me...the one who has sex with him is me."

The food on the table was in a mess, the chopsticks stained with oil and rice grains fell to the floor, the chairs were messed up and crooked, Lin Jinyu stared blankly at the figure standing in front of him, he seemed to be unable to hear any sound except Zhang Xinli's voice .

He heard Zhang Xinli's word for word, and said seriously and solemnly: "...We are lovers."
