Prohibition of losing contact

In the living room, Zhou Jianguo was sitting in the middle of the row of sofas, while Zhou Cangshan was standing diagonally across from him, seemingly reporting something to him.

The sound of the door knocking seemed to interrupt the conversation between them, Zhou Cangshan temporarily stopped the sound, turned his head subconsciously, and looked in the direction of the door.

Zhou Qingbai really didn't expect Zhou Jianghui to be here, and most of his half-truth and half-pretend cuteness and sincerity disappeared in an instant, and he changed from pretending to be cute to really nervous.In an instant, a thin layer of sweat broke out in his palms, and the organs in his chest throbbed crazily.

"...Dad?" Zhou Qingbai said awkwardly.

With a blank face, Zhou Jianguo hummed calmly, and tapped the ground with his cane.

This was the meaning of asking him to go in, Zhou Qingbai pursed his lips, took two steps forward bravely, followed Jiang Man, changed his shoes and entered the room.

Not to mention Zhou Qingbai's accident, even Jiang Man hadn't heard the news of Zhou Jianghui's arrival beforehand. She frowned slightly, stepped on her slippers and entered the house, and took Zhou Cangshan's arm and led him aside when Zhou Jianguo was not paying attention. .

"What's going on?" Jiang Man lowered her voice, and said dissatisfiedly, "It's just such a small matter, you really want to find Dad?"

"It's not a trivial matter." Zhou Cangshan said in a low voice with a face that was exactly the same as Zhou Jianguo's: "Green asphalt, oil and salt won't come in, I can't talk him out of it, let Dad take care of it."

"You—" Jiang Man wanted to jump, but when she thought about Zhou Jianguo's presence, she held back and just whispered to him, "Qingbai is already so big, why do you have to worry about him?"

"I've already turned a blind eye to him." Zhou Cangshan frowned and said, "And now he's making trouble, and you still want me to ignore it?"

He has been like this since he was a child, eight horses couldn't pull back what he was sure of, Jiang Man hissed, and suddenly new and old hatred rushed into his heart, his teeth hurt so angry, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth and twisting Zhou Cangshan's arm.

"You still say that Xiaoqingbai doesn't get in?" Jiang Man said angrily, "I think you are the one who doesn't get in."

Zhou Cangshan swayed on the spot, but he didn't dodge it. He obediently let her twist, but he still kept his face blank and didn't speak.

Jiang Man had nothing to do with him, she could only try to save Zhou Qingbai with a roundabout policy, so she forced a smile, trying to break the sticky and oppressive atmosphere.

"Why did Dad suddenly come?" Jiang Man said with a smile: "Just in time, my mother went on a trip a few days ago and just sent tea back from Taihu Lake. Would you like some dip?"

"Forget about tea." Zhou Jianguo said, "I came here today because I have something to ask my second child."

Zhou Jianguo did not get angry, nor did he order without explanation. At first glance, it seemed that there was room for change, but Zhou Qingbai knew in his heart that this was just the calm before the storm.

Zhou Jianguo is in his early [-]s this year, but he still has the marks of military life on his body.His back was straight, he was not angry and arrogant, he only glanced at Zhou Qingbai lightly, and there was a strong sense of oppression coming from him.

"Your elder brother said that you fell in love with a man?" Zhou Jianguo tapped his right leg lightly with his cane, and said lightly, "Tell me, why?"

Reason, Zhou Qingbai thought, this is really a difficult question to answer at the beginning.

Zhou Qingbai could hear the implication of his old man - in Zhou Jianguo's concept, the combination of a man and a woman is a matter of course, just like 1+12, it should be an eternal truth.There is no such thing as "homosexuality" in his concept. He doesn't seem to think that this is some kind of preference that follows genes from birth, but simply thinks that this is just an accident that deviates from the normal track.

In the eyes of an elderly person like Zhou Jianguo, there should be a reason for everything "abnormal" - no "normal" man would like another man for no reason, because this is abnormal and goes against the principles of biological development. Law, so there must be a reason, just find out the reason, and then solve it.

But there is no reason for "like". He was born a homosexual. He has no impulse towards the opposite sex since the period of sexual enlightenment, and he naturally likes men.

It's true that Pei You is a match made in heaven given to him by the heavens, but even without Pei You, he would not like any woman in this world.

But Zhou Qingbai knew that he couldn't explain "sexual orientation" or "law of natural development" to Zhou Jianguo, because Zhou Jianguo couldn't listen to it, and it was impossible to listen to his explanation.

He is the most typical simple machismo parent in China. Although he has an upright backbone and will try his best to shelter everyone in the family under his wings, he is surprisingly stubborn and difficult to listen to under the channel of peaceful communication. Into the opinions of juniors.

So Zhou Qingbai hesitated for a moment, walked to the opposite side of the coffee table, and knelt down hesitantly.

"Dad." There are probably few fathers in this world whose children are not afraid of majesty. Zhou Qingbai lacks confidence and his voice is a little weak: "There is no reason, I just like him."

"That's because you don't know the beauty of women." Zhou Jianguo waved his hands unreasonably, and said, "When you have a wife and someone who knows the cold and the hot around you, you will naturally know. When the time comes, let your sister-in-law Find more girls of the same age for you, and you will get along with each other more, and you will naturally have feelings for each other."

Zhou Qingbai: "..."

What arrogance, Zhou Qingbai thought, this sentence can easily be ranked in the top three of the list of weird parents.

Perhaps for a stubborn person like Zhou Jianguo, all unknown areas in this world can be solved with his "life experience". If there is something that cannot be solved, it must be the other party's problem.

But Zhou Qingbai couldn't accuse Zhou Jianguo of anything, he knew that Zhou Jianguo couldn't accept this kind of thing for a while, and he understood it very well.After all, the concepts of the past and present continue to be engraved in the bones, and it is difficult to be reversed by external forces for a while.

Understandable is understanding, reality is reality, Zhou Qingbai doesn't want to compromise and can't compromise, since the matter has pierced the window paper, there must be a result.

He gave up the devious policy, and no longer tried to test Zhou Jianguo's attitude. Instead, he lowered his head and chose the most direct method to puncture the window paper.

"I can't be hard on women." Zhou Qingbai said: "They are very good, but they are not the people I want to spend my life with. I don't want to delay them, so it is impossible to fall in love with them."

The illusion of peace that Zhou Jianguo barely maintained in his subconscious was sharply pierced by Zhou Qingbai. From the time he learned about this incident until now, Zhou Jianguo finally had to face this reality. He was short of breath, slammed the table, and stood up awkwardly. Get up.

"How did you talk to me!" Zhou Jianguo shouted, "Say it again!"

Zhou Qingbai trembled all over, subconsciously he still had awe of Zhou Jianguo, when he heard his roar, he subconsciously wanted to admit his mistake, but he forcibly held back.

No matter what, only this time, he was right at all, Zhou Qingbai thought, maybe he should feel guilty for disobeying his family, but he would never admit his mistakes because of his sexual orientation.

"I like men." Zhou Qingbai said in a broken jar: "I have been hard on men's naked bodies since I was 16 years old when I first watched a movie. I only have desires for men. I want to sleep with men, fall in love, For the rest of my life—I've said it, Dad, do you still want me to see girls?"

Zhou Jianguo held his breath in his throat, his face flushed red, of course he couldn't say "yes".

He really wants Zhou Qingbai to become "normal", but the premise is that he will change from the bottom of his heart, otherwise even if he is forced to get along with other girls, fall in love, and get married, it will only make her a widow.

Zhou Jian's family has a strict education and a decent family style. He treats others strictly and treats himself even more strictly.

"Anyway, that's the way it is." Zhou Qingbai knelt on the ground, stiffened his neck, and whispered, "Unless you stuff me back into my mother's belly and give birth again, I won't be able to change it."

"Are you a pervert!" Zhou Jianguo scolded, "Do you know that if I were young, you would be dragged out and shot now!"

"The crime of hooliganism has been banned a long time ago!" Zhou Qingbai also lost his temper, and said stubbornly: "Anyway, I am like this. If you don't feel satisfied, you can shoot me!"

"Qingbai!" Zhou Cangshan said anxiously, "How are you talking!"

Sure enough, Zhou Jianguo suddenly flew into a rage. He was so angry that he said to himself, little bastard, I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you started to challenge me first.

Zhou Jianguo has been a stubborn donkey with a tough temper since he was young, and he will not take hard things when he is soft.It was difficult for him to accept this matter in a short time, but now he was aroused by Zhou Qingbai's words, and he immediately got on the head, picked up his cane and walked out in two steps, and hit him with a raised hand.

"Little bastard, I think your wings are stiff!" Zhou Jianguo said, "You don't take your father seriously!"

In the matter of "educating children", Zhou Jianguo has always believed in a simple and rude policy. Both Zhou Cangshan and Zhou Qingbai have suffered a lot of beatings, so that when he raised his hand, Zhou Qingbai subconsciously arched his body.

Zhou Cangshan and Jiang Man were also taken aback, they didn't expect Zhou Qingbai to dare to challenge him suddenly, his heart sank, and he quickly wanted to fight.

But Zhou Jianguo moved extremely fast, and he had already raised his hand and whipped Zhou Qingbai several times while speaking.

"Dad...Dad!" Zhou Cangshan hurriedly stopped in front of Zhou Qingbai, grabbed Zhou Jianguo's cane, and said anxiously: "Don't do anything, don't do anything, his leg is still hurt, please tell him carefully."

Zhou Jianguo served as a soldier at a young age, with old injuries on his legs. As he got older, he needed a cane to help him walk.Zhou Cangshan was filial, and the walking stick he had custom-made for him was made of pineapple wood, which was extremely strong and full of toughness.

Zhou Qingbai was afraid of his father since he was a child, Zhou Cangshan originally wanted to ask his father to frighten him, so that he could quickly rein in his horse and turn around in time, but he didn't expect that his bones were so hard today, he dared to challenge his father.

"What should I say?" Zhou Jianguo softened for a moment when he heard that Zhou Qingbai was injured, but then he was stopped by the scene and said coldly, "Didn't you hear what he said to me just now?!"

"I heard that Qingbai is ignorant, don't be as knowledgeable as him." Zhou Cangshan still held his cane, turned his head quickly, and said to Zhou Qingbai: "Qingbai, hurry up, apologize to Dad!"

Zhou Qingbai heard his voice, but he didn't move. He didn't know if he was hurt or what. He couldn't recover for a long time, so he just fell on the ground, hissing and breathing lightly.

Zhou Qingbai has been squeamish since he was a child, although Zhou Cangshan has beaten him many times, but every time is very accurate, he has never been beaten by such a real guy.Now that Zhou Jianguo went down with a few sticks, it didn't soften Zhou Qingbai's mouth, but Zhou Cangshan's heart softened.

If he had known that he was so determined, he shouldn't have called Dad, Zhou Cangshan thought.

It was rare for him to feel a little regretful in his heart, and even his position began to waver secretly. He couldn't help but look back at Jiang Man, winked at her, and asked her to help Zhou Qingbai get up first.

Seeing this, Jiang Man couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him, grinned her teeth, and said to herself that I knew this would happen, and you still didn't listen to me.

Zhou Cangshan was wronged, and it was rare for him to accept his softness. He took the initiative to look away, and hinted at her again in a cowardly manner.

Jiang Man also felt sorry for Zhou Qingbai, so instead of being angry with him, she came over, patted Zhou Qingbai on the shoulder, and asked him how he was doing.

It's true that Zhou Qingbai hadn't been beaten so hard for a while. His back was so painful that his back and chest were numb.

However, Zhou Jianguo's initiative also gave him a chance to breathe. The tense atmosphere just now relaxed a little silently. Zhou Qingbai was able to use this opportunity to temporarily avoid the conflict, which was considered a good thing.

"...It hurts." Zhou Qingbai lowered his eyes and said angrily, "Chest tightness."

"Let your sister-in-law help you go upstairs and lie down for a while." He was finally willing to open his mouth to show his weakness, and Zhou Cangshan also helped him complete the next half of the steps with satisfaction, and said, "Don't make Dad angry."

Although Zhou Qingbai did not admit his mistake, at least he let him go down the steps. Zhou Jianguo gasped twice, and slowly lowered his cane under the force of his eldest son who could not refuse.

"Let him go upstairs." Zhou Jianguo gritted his teeth and said harshly: "Just lock him at home, and let him out when he is obedient!"

Zhou Qingbai was beaten, his legs and feet were not good at first, but now he has become a "half-level disabled". He was dragged by Jiang Man for a long time before throwing himself on the bed in the guest room.

"Don't blame your elder brother." Jiang Man sat on the edge of the bed, twisted a wet towel to help him dry the cold sweat on his face, and said, "He didn't expect Dad to do it suddenly."

Zhou Jianguo educated his children very hard, but he was not a tyrannical person. After Zhou Qingbai and Zhou Cangshan became adults, he almost never did anything to them.

"I know, it's okay." Zhou Qingbai hummed softly: "Whoever comes out of the closet will not be beaten, I am mentally prepared."

Jiang Man has studied abroad. She is very open about homosexuality and doesn't care too much. Hearing this, she smiled and helped him shake off the quilt.

"Who told you to be so tough." Jiang Man said: "Say it well, can't you take your time."

"No." Zhou Qingbai squirmed on the bed like a snail, put his head on the pillow, and said in a muffled voice: "Pei You's family already knew about his sexual orientation, so I have to come out early, otherwise It's not fair to him."

Jiang Man has met Pei You before. She has seen the way the two of them get along with each other in a glimpse, and she also knows that their relationship is not just for fun.

Zhou Qingbai is usually loose and relaxed, but once he really cares about something, he will really do his best, regardless of anything.

Jiang Man understood his temper, so she didn't try to persuade him any more, but tucked the quilt up for him, and said, "I'll go and persuade your brother again, you should lie down first, your brother is stopping Dad, don't worry .”

As she spoke, she stood up and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door intimately before leaving.

Zhou Qingbai lay on the bed, blinked, and was relieved when he heard the footsteps outside the door gradually receding, and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Fortunately, Zhou Jianguo didn't really want to put him in confinement, and he also confiscated his mobile phone, Zhou Qingbai thought, otherwise Pei You would be the one who is anxious now.

He listened for a while, and after making sure that it was quiet outside the door, he unlocked the phone screen and called Pei You.

I don't know if Pei You has been waiting for this call, but he was connected almost as soon as the call bell rang.

"How is it?" Pei You asked anxiously, "Have you been beaten?"

Zhou Qingbai: "..."

That's a good guess, Zhou Qingbai thought.

The back injury was still painful, Zhou Qingbai hissed softly, he didn't want to worry Pei You too much, and he didn't want to get a few sticks in vain, so he thought about it and made a compromise between the actual situation.

"Two slaps." Zhou Qingbai softened his voice and hummed, "It hurts like hell."

Pei You's breathing was stagnant, and he said distressedly: "Is it serious? How are you doing now? Do you want me to pick you up?"

"It's not serious." Zhou Qingbai chuckled and said in a low voice, "I don't need it now, I may have to stay at home for a few days - my dad is still angry, I'll talk to him when he calms down."

He summed up the situation in the past hour lightly, but Pei You knew that it was definitely not as easy as he said.

He was a little distressed, and felt a little bit of self-blame, thinking that he should really persuade Zhou Qingbai, and Xu Xutuzhi was the right thing to do.

The sound of Pei You's breathing hit Zhou Qingbai's ear through the earpiece, Zhou Qingbai seemed to know what he was thinking, and suddenly smiled after a long while.

"Almost forgot." Zhou Qingbai said, "I called you because I have something to talk about."

"What's the matter?" Sure enough, Pei You's attention was caught by him, and he quickly said, "Say it."

"I guess the matter of coming out of the closet is not over yet, and it may take a few days." Zhou Qingbai deliberately wanted to divert his attention, so he lowered his voice and began to talk nonsense in a serious manner: "Let me tell you, if my brother or my father Suddenly ran to find you and wanted to give you 500 million to break up with me, then—"

"Don't worry." Pei You quickly interrupted him, and said very seriously: "I won't agree, I don't care about money."

"Hey, idiot, why is there no tacit understanding?" Zhou Qingbai sighed helplessly and amusedly, his tone sounded intimate and cunning: "When the time comes, you promise them, and then take the money, and we will share it equally."

Pei You: "..."

Zhou Qingbai deliberately wanted to tease Pei You, although he was sure that neither Zhou Cangshan nor Zhou Jianguo would do such a thing, but he still couldn't help teasing him.

"This is the cost of our running." Zhou Qingbai said solemnly: "Remember to take it."
