give me straight man

In the basement and next to the car, Tao Yiwen helped open the rear and passenger doors first, and then put the small suitcase into the trunk.

In such a short time, Father Tao went straight to the co-pilot.

Seeing Tao's father sitting in the co-driver, Meng Ran was stunned for a while, didn't say much, and went to sit in the back seat honestly, but Tao's mother explained to Tao Yiwen and Meng Ran who had finished packing the suitcases: "The old man is used to sitting, so let me sit in the back seat." He sits in front."

Tao Yiwen and Meng Ran looked at each other.

Meng Ran didn't pay attention to such details. Tao Yiwen raised his hand and put a light touch on Meng Ran's back to comfort him.

"Get in the car."

After getting in the car, there was a brief moment of silence in the car. Meng Ran looked at Father Tao in the front row, and then at Mother Tao beside him. Mother Tao was also looking at Meng Ran.

After a while, Mother Tao broke the silence and asked where Meng Ran worked.

Tao Yiwen took the lead and said, "Mom, Xiao Ran is still in school."

Meng Ran: "I'm a senior this year, and I'm about to graduate."

Mother Tao: "Oh."

Father Tao said nothing.

Mother Tao then asked, "What do you do at home?"

Meng Ran didn't like answering this question very much, and said vaguely, "My parents are both in the system."

Mother Tao was slightly surprised: "Ah."

After a pause, "Then they all support you?"

Meng Ran understood, he was asking his parents if they knew he was gay and if they supported him.

Meng Ran said truthfully: "I mentioned it to them, and they don't care about me."

I don't care much about him anymore, and it's natural for him to do whatever he wants in such a private matter.

Mother Tao nodded: "Then your parents are quite open-minded."

Tao Yiwen answered, "You are also very open."

Tao's mother said "ah", but Tao's father continued to remain silent.

Then, Mother Tao asked Tao Yiwen if he was busy with work recently, if he had a good meal, and if he had taken out his winter clothes from the cabinet.

Meng Ran sat on the side, listening to Mother Tao and Tao Yiwen chatting about their daily life, but couldn't get in. Suddenly, he felt eyes from the front row, and when he raised his eyes, he found that Father Tao was looking at him through the rearview mirror of the car.

Meng Ran looked over, but Father Tao quickly looked away again.

Meng Ran always felt that something was weird.

Back at Tao Yiwen's apartment, Father Tao and Mother Tao looked like they had returned to their own home. They dug out slippers from the closet at the door and changed into them, and nagged as they entered, "Have you not mopped the floor for two days?"

"Have you cooked recently?"

One went into the kitchen, and the other started tidying up the living room outside.

Meng Ran was a little embarrassed because he found that the slippers he usually wore when he came here belonged to Father Tao. The old couple came to their son's place as if they were going back to their own home, which immediately made him look like an outsider.

Tao Yiwen discovered Meng Ran's embarrassment in time, and quickly squatted in front of the shoe cabinet to get Meng Ran's shoes, and comforted Meng Ran: "Don't mind, they are used to worrying."

Meng Ran shook his head, saying it was okay.

It’s just that after entering, I feel that I have nowhere to rest——

The elders were too busy to sit down, so it was not good for him to sit alone.

And Tao's father and Tao's mother went into the kitchen and went upstairs one by one, and he didn't know who to help.

Even Tao Yiwen was surprised that his parents didn't care about Meng Ran and kept busy, hurried into the kitchen, and reminded in a low voice: "Mom, Xiao Ran is still outside, don't be busy, there is nothing to be busy, just get busy later."

Go upstairs again to call Father Tao.

Only Mother Tao and Meng Ran were left downstairs for a while, and Mother Tao greeted Meng Ran, "Sit down."

Meng Ran: "Oh, good."

Sit down on the sofa.

Mother Tao watched Meng Ran quietly, and when she saw Meng Ran raise her eyes, Mother Tao then looked away, turned and went into the kitchen, saying that she was going to wash the fruit.

Meng Ran was about to die of embarrassment, wondering if it was always like this when meeting parents for the first time?

Really embarrassing.

Fortunately, when eating at noon, Tao's mother and Tao's father were quite enthusiastic. They would chat and ask him about his situation, and even give him some food.

Meng Ran was somewhat relieved, and was afraid that Tao Yiwen's parents would dislike him.

After dinner, Tao's father and Tao's mother went upstairs. Tao Yiwen explained to Meng Ran that his parents were getting old, and they got up early today by car and needed to take a nap to catch up on sleep.

Meng Ran nodded, expressing that he fully understands.

"Yiwen!"

Mother Tao's voice came from the stairs.

Tao Yiwen said to Meng Ran, "Maybe I didn't find the remote control of the air conditioner, I'll go up and have a look."

Meng Ran: "Oh, good."

Unbeknownst to her, Mother Tao actually had something to ask her son quietly, avoiding Meng Ran on purpose.

Her original words: "Do you live together?"

Tao Yiwen was surprised that his mother would ask such a question, he was stunned for a moment, and shook his head: "Of course not, Xiao Ran is still in school, he lives in the school dormitory."

Mother Tao was obviously relieved, hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Then you... slept together?"

Tao Yiwen: "Mom!"

Father Tao: "Your mother will ask you if you have any, and you can answer if you have or not."

Tao Yiwen frowned: "Why are you asking this?"

Answered: "No."

Tao's father and Tao's mother were silent, and there was no other problem.

Tao Yiwen: "Mom and Dad, I know what you are worried about. Not all gays have messy private lives. You also know that Xiao Ran is still a student."

He added: "Just ask me this kind of question, don't ask Xiao Ran."

While Tao's father and mother took a nap, Tao Yiwen and Meng Ran chatted and laughed softly downstairs, and played chess together to pass the time.

During the period, Meng Ran received a message from Lu Ouxun: "Is everything going well?"

Meng Ran: "Yes."

Lu Ouxun didn't ask any more questions.

In the afternoon, it was not until three o'clock that Tao's father and Tao's mother came downstairs.

I don't know if it was due to the fact that they had a good night's sleep, but the two became more enthusiastic towards Meng Ran.

Father Tao even took the initiative to add Meng Ran to WeChat, asking which school Meng Ran studied, what major he studied, and even which dormitory building he went to.

In the evening, the four of them ate dinner together again.

On the way to send Meng Ran back to school, Tao Yiwen said with emotion: "It feels like I'm meeting your parents, I'm more nervous than you."

Meng Ran recalled the daytime: "Your parents are fine."

Diligent, simple, tolerant of his son being gay, having a partner, and being kind to people.

Tao Yiwen turned his head and smiled at Meng Ran: "I also think they like you a lot."

Analysis: "My dad is old-fashioned and rarely uses his mobile phone. This is the first time I see him take the initiative to add someone's WeChat."

Meng Ran was also a little happy, thinking that this was the case.

He didn't tell Tao Yiwen, but he actually felt that his uncle and aunt didn't like him very much. The enthusiasm and acceptance they showed gave him the feeling that he had to compromise for his son.

Maybe he is too sensitive.

Meng Ran thought.

Back in the dormitory, Tuotuo and Tonton were not there, Lu Ouxun was sitting at the desk, typing codes at the computer.

Seeing him come back, Lu Ouxun turned to look at him, and asked, "Is it going well?"

Meng Ran: "Yes."

Lu Ouxun continued typing the code: "That's good." He didn't ask any more questions.

The next day, Meng Ran finished his school work, took a taxi to Tao Yiwen's place, and had dinner with Tao Yiwen's parents.

On the way to send Meng Ran back to school, Tao Yiwen told Meng Ran: "They will leave tomorrow morning."

Meng Ran was surprised: "So fast? I thought they would stay for a few more days."

Tao Yiwen: "They usually come here, and they usually stay for a day or two before leaving. Anyway, it's not far away, and it's convenient to come here by car."

Meng Ran thought for a while: "Tell me earlier, you tell me earlier, I can also buy something at night, and let them take it back tomorrow."

Tao Yiwen smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Meng Ran's head: "Don't be so considerate, they just come to see me casually, and they don't need to buy anything for them to take back."

Meng Ran explained: "At any rate, this is the first time I've seen you."

Tao Yiwen looked at Meng Ran with a smile, and joked: "If you want to show off, there will be opportunities in the future."

Meng Ran blamed: "I didn't."

Tao Yiwen really wanted to kiss Meng Ran at this time, so he held back, because he was driving after all.

When the car stopped near the school, Tao Yiwen originally planned to kiss Meng Ran, but just as he unbuckled his seat belt, the passenger door was pulled open from the outside.

Lu Ouxun stood beside the car, bowed his shoulders, bowed his head, looked in, looked at Meng Ran, raised his eyebrows at Tao Yiwen, and greeted generously: "Hey, buddy."

Tao Yiwen: "..."

Meng Ran introduced Tao Yiwen: "My friend."

Lu Ouxun reached in, passed Meng Ran, and towards Tao Yiwen, introduced himself: "Lu Ouxun."

Tao Yiwen and Lu Ouxun shook hands: "Hello."

Lu Ouxun withdrew his hand, put his hand on the door frame, and asked them: "Just came back?"

Meng Ran unbuckled his seat belt: "Yes."

Lu Ouxun looked at Meng Ran: "Go back to the dormitory? Let's go together."

Meng Ran was about to get off the car: "Okay."

Turning around, he waved at Tao Yiwen: "Bye, be careful on the road."

Lu Ouxun had no choice but to give up his plan of kissing, and waved his hand: "Bye."

In the evening, Meng Ran chatted with Tao Yiwen on his mobile phone.

Tao Yiwen: "It's not the right time for your friend to show up today."

Tao Yiwen: "At that time, I wanted to kiss you."

Meng Ran grinned, and sent Tao Yiwen an emoji of a small animal kissing.

Tao Yiwen made an appointment in advance: "Next time we meet, let me kiss you, okay?"

Meng Ran knowingly asked, "Where are you kissing?"

Tao Yiwen: "Where do you want to be?"

Meng Ran opened his mouth again, flirting or something, the feeling of falling in love is really great.

In the other corner of the dormitory, Lu Ouxun raised his eyelids to look at Meng Ran, his eyes almost burned a hole in the sweater on Meng Ran's body.

Ton Ton found out, shook his head with a silent sigh, and sent a message to Lu Ouxun: "Dude, are you suffering? If you are suffering, eat more lollipops."

The next day, Meng Ran woke up at normal time. When he checked the time with his mobile phone, he thought that Tao Yiwen's parents should have left by the train in the morning, but suddenly found that Tao's father had sent him a WeChat message:

[Hi Xiao Ran, I'm sorry to bother you. 】

[Our husband and wife are in your school at the moment, can we come out and meet? 】

【Please don't tell Yiwen. 】

The time was half an hour ago.

Meng Ran's sleepiness that had not yet dissipated disappeared instantly.

He sat up at once, read those messages repeatedly, and confirmed that it was from Father Tao, and he read the words correctly.

What do you mean?

Meng Ran lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Lu Ouxun woke up early, and was already sitting at the desk typing codes.

Seeing Meng Ran getting out of bed with a serious face and rushing to the bathroom, Lu Ouxun turned his head and looked puzzled.

What happened?

Meng Ran quickly washed up and put on clothes from the closet.

Lu Ouxun turned to look at him, leaned back in the chair: "What's wrong?"

Meng Ran: "Nothing."

Lu Ouxun was still looking at him, Meng Ran put on his clothes, put on his shoes, put on his jacket, took his phone, turned around and left.

Lu Ouxun noticed that he didn't take the backpack he would bring with him every day, so he guessed who Meng Ran was supposed to meet.

Who?

Tao Yiwen?

Seeing Tao Yiwen, how could he have such an expression?

Lu Ouxun thought it wrong, closed the computer, and got up.

-

Meng Ran left in a hurry because he saw some clues from the WeChat that Father Tao sent him.

Didn't you say you left in the morning?What are you looking for him for again?It turned out that Tao Yiwen was still behind his back.

Do uncles and aunts really support the only son being gay?

Meng Ran's intuition was not good.

No, it is very bad.

Knowing that Tao's father and Tao's mother were nearby, Meng Ran made an appointment to meet in the cafeteria, thinking that the couple came here on purpose this early in the morning, and they may not have eaten, so if they have anything to say, they can talk over breakfast at least.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Father Tao and Mother Tao were already there, sitting face to face at the dining table.

Meng Ran went up to meet him: "Uncle and aunt."

When Tao's father and Tao's mother saw him, one looked excited and the other was expressionless.

Meng Ran: "What's wrong?"

Tao's mother had tears in her eyes, she hesitated to speak, while Tao's father remained solemnly silent, with a slight frown between his brows.

Meng Ran looked at Mother Tao in surprise: "Auntie, why are you crying?"

As he said that, he had to touch his pocket to get a tissue.

Mother Tao grabbed her arm and cried, "Xiao Ran, I beg you, Auntie, can you separate from Yiwen?"

"Our old couple had this only son in their 40s."

"We really couldn't accept that he was gay."

"We really can't help it!"

Meng Ran stayed where he was, as if struck by lightning.

At this time, Father Tao stretched out his hand to pull back Mother Tao's arm, let Mother Tao lie on the table, stood up by himself, faced Meng Ran, and sighed, "Actually, we lied to Yiwen."

"We all don't accept it, but Yiwen insists that we have no choice but to pretend to accept it."

He also said: "For so many years, we have seen that there is no one around Yiwen, so it is more or less a fluke."

"I don't think he is actually that one. Is he willing to accept marriage and have children when he is older and older."

"So the last time Yiwen called home and said that he had talked about friends, we were very unacceptable."

"I came here this time to see Yiwen, but actually I want to meet you."

Father Tao sighed as he spoke, but he was also polite: "It's an unfeeling favor, I want to ask you to separate from Yiwen, is that okay?"

Meng Ran's eyes were full of astonishment, facing his eyes, he took half a step back in surprise.

Father Tao saw him like this, and said again: "Or, can you make a condition with us?"

I was not sure about the tone, but insisted on saying, "If I give you money, will you agree?"

"We still have some pension money in our hands, and we may not be able to have more."

"Hundreds of thousands is still possible."

Meng Ran's mind went blank.

He couldn't react no matter what, he could only respond instinctively: "I don't want your money."

Mother Tao blurted out: "Then can you agree?"

The astonishment on Meng Ran's face remained undiminished, and he took another half step back slowly.

Mother Tao suddenly stood up, rushed to Meng Ran, grabbed Meng Ran's arm, and said with a ferocious expression, "Are you seducing my son? Yiwen was so obedient since he was a child, and he hasn't talked to him since he graduated from college. Why did he talk to you?"

The sound was so loud that almost half of the cafeteria could hear it, causing the few people in the cafeteria to look sideways.

Meng Ran supported Tao Mu, subconsciously retorted: "I didn't!"

Mother Tao began to cry again: "Leave Yiwen, okay? If you lose Yiwen, you can still talk about friends with other people. If we lose Yiwen, it will really kill us."

As he said that, he bent his knees and went down, about to kneel in front of Meng Ran.

Meng Ran hurried to pull: "Auntie!"

At this moment, Father Tao's hands began to tremble, he covered his heart and supported the dining table, and put one hand into his pocket, as if he was looking for something, his face turned pale.

Meng Ran couldn't care about Tao's father at this time, and wanted to pull Tao's mother up, but couldn't pull him up. He was so anxious that he saw Tao's mother's knee touch the ground, and he was about to kneel down and was held by the hand stretched out behind him. Lifting his shoulders, he grabbed Tao Mu's arm and pulled him up.

Meng Ran turned his head in a daze, and saw Lu Ouxun.

With a sullen face, Lu Ouxun took Mother Tao from him, helped her to sit at the dining table, then looked at Father Tao, and quickly asked, "What are you looking for? Medicine?"

It was only then that Meng Ran noticed Father Tao's pale face, trembling hands, and chest with his mouth open and breathing hard.

Meng Ran hurried over, and Lu Ouxun had already helped Father Tao take out the quick-acting heart-rescuing pills in his pocket, poured out a dozen small black pills, and put them into Father Tao's mouth.

Lu Ouxun calmly said, "Take a deep breath."

At the same time, he said: "Meng Ran, call 120. Then call Tao Yiwen."

Mother Tao rushed over again: "Take the medicine and you'll be fine, and you'll be fine if you take the medicine! Don't fight!"

Lu Ouxun helped Tao's father to sit down, ignored Tao's mother, and Meng Ran ignored Tao's mother, and touched his mobile phone to make a call.

Mother Tao tried to snatch the phone, and returned it while saying: "You promise! Promise to leave Yiwen! Only then can you make a call!"

It seemed a little bewildered.

Meng Ran still ignored him and went to the side to call 120.

Lu Ouxun stopped Mother Tao: "Calm down!"

Later, 120 came, and Tao's father was quickly pulled away. Tao's mother refused to go to 120, but was pushed into the car by Lu Ouxun.

Meng Ran also got into the car, and before leaving, Lu Ouxun held his face in his hands and told him seriously: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

He added: "Call Tao Yiwen and tell him which hospital he is in."

"I'm going to say hello to the school, and I'll be right over."

Meng Ran nodded, and Lu Ouxun pinched the back of his neck heavily to let Meng Ran know that he was not alone and that there was support behind him.

120 left, the students gathered around the cafeteria were still there, and many of them were holding their mobile phones.

Lu Ouxun signaled them: "Don't take pictures, let's go, it's okay."

After 120 arrived at the hospital, Tao's father was pulled into the emergency room on a stretcher, Tao's mother accompanied him, and Meng Ran went to register and pay the bill.

After a while, Tao Yiwen came, his face was full of anxiety and astonishment, he couldn't chat with Meng Ran, and was called "Tao Kangjiang's family" by the doctor, and he went to the emergency room.

Leaving Meng Ran behind for the rest of his life, he slowly sat down on the seat outside the emergency room, his hands and feet were cold.

After a while, he felt someone hold his hand.

Turning his head, he realized it was Lu Ouxun.

Lu Ouxun frowned and looked at him: "Are you okay? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Meng Ran shook his head and pointed to the door of the emergency room, indicating that he was fine.

Lu Ouxun sat beside Meng Ran, held Meng Ran's hand with one hand, and put his arm around Meng Ran's shoulder with the other, stroking: "Okay, okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'm here."

Meng Ran still breathed a sigh of relief, still in a daze, the door of the emergency room opened, Tao Yiwen walked out quickly, concerned and confused, and asked Meng Ran:

"Aren't my parents already gone? Why are they here with you?"

As she spoke, her voice became louder: "Did you know that my dad has a bad heart!"

Meng Ran looked dazed and hurt, his eyes flickered, Lu Ouxun got up, stretched out his hand and pushed Tao Yiwen a few steps away, and warned in a low voice: "You should find out first! Your parents went to find Meng Ran without telling you! It doesn't matter if it burns!"

He said again: "It was your parents who were emotional and had a heart attack. Meng Ran called 120!"

Tao Yiwen's hot blood slowly cooled down.

"Sorry." He took a deep breath with a wooden face, stepped back, and sat down on the chair.

Meng Ran turned to look at Tao Yiwen. At this moment, he really wanted to say something to comfort him. He opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't.

Soon, Tao Yiwen entered the emergency room again.

This morning was really a mess, but fortunately, Father Tao was safe in the end and was pushed into the ward safely.

Meng Ran and Lu Ouxun didn't leave during the period, and they helped each other. Lu Ouxun knew the director of the hospital here, and asked the director to come over to check and confirm that everything was fine. The director left, and Lu Ouxun continued to accompany Meng Ran.

It wasn't until noon, after dinner, that the group of people calmed down.

Tao Yiwen came to Meng Ran to apologize, saying that he shouldn't have yelled at him just now, because he was too anxious, Meng Ran shook his head and said nothing.

As a result, Mother Tao and Tao Yiwen quarreled outside the ward again.

Mother Tao was a little hysterical: "Your dad is like this? You don't want to break up? Are you so selfish?!"

Meng Ran looked back at the mother and son, and got up from the chair outside the ward.

Lu Ouxun followed suit and stood up: "Are you leaving?"

Meng Ran was weak: "Well, let's go."

Taking the elevator downstairs and walking out, Meng Ran squinted his eyes under the warm winter sun, suddenly feeling unreal.

He asked Lu Ouxun beside him in an uncertain tone: "I'm not wrong, am I?"

Lu Ouxun pressed his shoulder and said affirmatively, "You are right."

Meng Ran lowered his eyes to look at the ground, and said in a low voice, "But I feel like I was wrong."

Lu Ouxun took a deep breath, took a deep breath, and hugged Meng Ran face to face: "You are right, really."

Meng Ran rested his head on Lu Ouxun's shoulders. After a while, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he finally vented his grievances this morning through tears.

If he was right, why did the relationship between him and Tao Yiwen become like this?

Is he unworthy?

He just wants to have a boyfriend.
