Splendid in bag

Seventh Uncle's eyeballs were very black, and so were his eyebrows, which looked a little sharp, like a black knife made of black iron.

"Old Xiu," Uncle Qi said, "is he gay?"

It seems that no one has asked Hughes this question. Except for Lewis, Seventh Uncle is the second. The attitude when answering Seventh Uncle is completely different from that when answering Lewis.

Hughes' answer was also quite flat: "Yes, maybe."

Uncle Qi said again: "Just like the fact that I like men, I haven't told anyone specifically, but after a long time, everyone will always find out, and your story will soon be known to everyone."

Hughes was very amused, and only said: "Are they going to kick me out of the board of directors because of my sexual orientation? I don't seem to remember such a provision in the company's code of conduct."

Uncle Qi added: "Your shares are only a few percent more than your father's. The intentions of other shareholders are very important to you. Our company is different from others. Most of the important shareholders It is a member of our family. Now they recognize your identity as the grandson of Liu's parents-it may be funny to say this, but in fact we are a big feudal family, 'to protect the family property' and 'to ensure the succession of the family ’, two equally important things.”

Hughes felt a chill—it must be the world's hostility towards him.

Hughes suddenly remembered Lewis who was by the swimming pool that night.

He also went to explain Lewis at that time, telling him that liking men is not a big deal.

Like he told Lewis that it wasn't a big deal not to want to be in the boring business of the family's busy schedule.

These situations are like adults telling children that not knowing how to make money is not a big deal.

For young children, these are certainly not a big deal.

Lewis would rather that Lewis had always been a child and that nothing in Lewis's life was such a big deal.

If there is a child and a happy life, then there must be an adult by his side.

And adults always encounter a lot of "big things".

A mature adult needs to lie, to be strong, to do things that one doesn't like.

Uncle Qi and Liu Xiusi looked at each other like this. Uncle Qi never regarded this nephew as a child. When he talked to Liu Xiusi, he wanted to talk to him on an equal footing with an adult attitude.

Therefore, Uncle Qi said some very cold words in a tone of discussion rather than command: "If you want to secure this position, you must marry a woman from a big family and have a son."

Hughes felt the absurdity of the world.

He said: "Even if I marry a woman, can I change my sexual orientation? — I thought it was something everyone understood."

Uncle Qi smiled and said, "Old Xiu, I really didn't expect you to say such naive words! As long as you marry a woman and have a child, who cares if you are gay or not?"

Hughes also felt that his question was quite boring, and the way he spoke just now might be a bit like Lewis.He can also imagine what Lewis will say-Lewis will say: "Even if you marry a woman, it can't change the fact that you are gay, then this marriage is a grave. You hurt yourself and bury the other party." happiness. If you have a child, that child will also be in great pain, maybe it will be even more gloomy than the childhood of our two brothers, isn't this too selfish?"

And Hughes said it not long ago, and said in front of Lewis: "As long as people don't do it for themselves, it doesn't care about morality."

It is still the case until now, Hughes is unwilling to compromise for such a thing, to pretend that he is a heterosexual.Bite the bullet, marry a woman and have children, he doesn't want to do this.But he is not because he wants to protect others, nor is he afraid of ruining anyone's happiness, he will not hesitate to sacrifice others for his own benefit.

Old Liu is an example, even his own father is not spared, how can Hughes pity a strange woman and a child who has not yet existed in this world?

The reason why Hughes is unwilling to do this is also very simple, because he doesn't want to.

But he still has to pretend to listen to Uncle Seven's words.

So he said to Uncle Qi with a tamed smile: "Uncle Qi, you can share your secret with me, which really flatters me. I really understand that you are wholeheartedly for my own good. I am very moved. I will definitely think carefully about what you said."

Liu Xiusi is a very good actor, when he speaks sincerely, he can fool himself,

Seeing that the young man was persuaded, Uncle Qi felt satisfied, and said, "Uncle Qi said this for your sake, you should think about it carefully. You can think about it again about Xue Caiying. I know Lewis doesn't like her , but in fact Ms. Xue is a good choice. Of course, I still think the harmony between brothers is the most important. If you really don’t want to marry Ms. Xue, you still have many choices—for example, Ms. Bai, I think she is Very good, she is a delicate girl, gentle and polite, which is better than Xue Caiying. Moreover, Bai Qiqi and you also grew up together and are very familiar with each other. "

Liu Xiusi raised his lips slightly, as if smiling: "Well, thank you."

It was already dark when Liu Xiusi left Seventh Uncle's house, and there was a sharp moon in the sky with a faint yellow brilliance.

Just like that, he looked up at the moonlight, thinking: I don't know what Lewis is doing now, is he still worried about the health of that wolf-hearted third uncle?

Lewis is such a wonderful person, kind and gentle.

Gentle and kind people are always easy to be bullied.

Hughes thought of his mother unconsciously.

The gentle Lewis couldn't help but care about his third uncle who was sick. He even forgot how his third uncle usually taunted him.What he thinks now is that this is a middle-aged and elderly person who fell accidentally.

Lewis was sitting alone in the bedroom of the house when footsteps came from outside the door.It was a lonely night, and all the people who served him in the house were called away by him. In theory, it was impossible to hear any footsteps.Hearing such a sound in such a late night, most people will feel more frightened.Not so Lewis, for he recognized his brother's footsteps.

Lewis opened the door and saw Hughes standing in front of him.

Hughes looked at him with eyes like night and water.

Liu Xiusi said, "Are you still asleep?"

Lewis smiled and said, "Why don't you knock on the door? It pops out all of a sudden, it's easy to scare people."

"Really? I knocked on the outside door, but no one answered, so I walked in without authorization." Hughes looked at Lewis's expression, "And, I don't think you seem to be frightened."

Lewis smiled and replied, "I wasn't frightened this time, won't I be scared next time?"

The smile on Hughes' face deepened: "Do you still think there will be a next time?"

Lewis didn’t know how to answer—it’s hard to imagine such a situation—a person suddenly appeared outside your bedroom late at night...why does it sound a bit like Romeo and Juliet? ——Lewis thinks that he is not very clear-headed, maybe he is too sleepy?

When Lewis didn't know how to answer, he could only say, "You can't say that."

Liu Xius walked straight into Lewis' bedroom, as calm and comfortable as if he had entered his own room.

Lewis suddenly remembered that the teddy bear was still on his bedside.He immediately became flustered and hurriedly walked in front of Liu Xiusi.Lewis pretended to be inadvertently put the blanket on his body and covered the bear on the bed.He felt that Liu Xius probably didn't notice his sneaky behavior.

Liu Xiusi didn't seem to notice it, he just sat down on a chair and said to Lewis, "I just came over from Uncle Seven and learned about Uncle Three's condition."

Lewis hurriedly asked: "Is third uncle all right? Where did he fall? Is it serious? Why did the horse suddenly go crazy?"

Listening to his brother's question after sentence, Hughes smiled lightly and said slowly: "I don't know the details. I only know that his horse suddenly lost control, and the people next to him didn't hold him, and fell Come down. But it’s not serious, at least it’s not life-threatening, it’s just a bone injury, and you may have to lie in bed for a few months. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious.”

"Is this true?" Lewis was still a little worried, "Is it an old man, or be careful."

Liu Xiusi said reassuringly: "He has been sent to the private hospital we often go to by helicopter. There is no problem. You are familiar with the doctors there, and they are very responsible. It is you who do not rest at such a late hour." ?”

Lewis said, "I'm going to bed too."

Liu Xiusi said: "Then you go to sleep, I won't disturb you anymore."

Looking at Liu Xiusi's leaving back, Lewis suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.He still remembered that the two brothers were alone in this room this afternoon.Although they didn't say a few words and only drank two sips of hot coffee, they felt that they were much closer to each other.

He suddenly wanted to go back to how they were most intimate in the past, and I'm afraid it's too late.

"Brother." Lewis suddenly called the other party.

Hearing this call, Liu Xiusi turned around almost immediately: "What's wrong?"

Lewis didn't know what to say for a while, but it was obviously illogical to suddenly stop the other party but couldn't explain why.He asked a silly question indiscriminately: "You are so busy with work, how do you usually exercise?"

This question was really stupid, and Lewis felt annoyed after asking.

Liu Xiusi still smiled and replied patiently: "Do you remember my office? You have been here before."

"I remember," Lewis recalled, saying, "I remember it was on the top floor of the building!"

Liu Xiusi said: "The office has a passage leading directly to the roof. There is a swimming pool in the heated roof garden with a glass cover on the roof. If I have nothing to do, I will go up and swim a couple of laps. It's probably like this. Keep in shape. You can also try yourselves. Make a swimming pool upstairs in the company or outside your office."

"That would be a lot of work." Lewis shook his head, but couldn't help but imagine what the swimming pool in the roof garden was like, and how Hughes usually swam in it.

Hughes just smiled and said, "Then come and swim with me twice if you have time!"

This kind of remark sounds very polite. "Come when you are free" seems to imply another meaning—that is, you don't have to come if you are not free.However, Lewis felt that Hughes was sincerely inviting him to swim in the roof garden.Lewis even liked the offer, even if it sounded a bit off.Who would go swimming in the other party's office?This is so weird.
