easy to be a man

Liang Shu packed the last luggage, sealed the box and stood it up.

He pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and raised his head cautiously to look at the living room.The projector in the living room was on, and a slow life variety show was playing. The Liang family's parents, who were sitting on the sofa, were busy with their own affairs instead of watching TV.Liang's mother was neatly dressed in home clothes, and she was sitting on the sofa on the phone. Judging by the serious expression on her face, she should be talking about work.Father Liang next to him looked more relaxed. He was leaning on the cushion wearing a pair of reading glasses, focused on watching the news on his mobile phone, and nodded slightly while watching.

Liang Shu pulled the box out of the bedroom, stood in the corner of the living room and waited for a while.Seeing that his parents didn't respond to his behavior, he also lost the courage to speak. He just lowered his head and sighed softly, and silently pushed the box to the door along the baseboard of the living room.As soon as Liang Shu changed his shoes, his sister Liang Yue came out of the bedroom.Liang Yue was very surprised to see Liang Shu making the gesture to leave.

"Brother, why don't you leave after dinner? What are you doing going to school so early? Didn't you report to arrive yesterday!"

Liang Shu didn't answer his sister's question, but just turned his head in the direction of his parents, showing a wry smile, "I'd better leave early..."

Liang Yue followed the other party's line of sight and immediately saw the parents who were peeking over here, and instantly understood.She rolled her eyes and curled her lips speechlessly. "Okay, just wait for me, I'll take you to the entrance of the community." He conveniently grabbed the key of the outer door from the entrance, and before Liang Shu could react, he pushed the person and luggage out of the door together, and then he was discouraged A general "snap" closed the door.

The sudden sound startled Liang's parents, who were double-minded.Seeing that her son and daughter had left, Liang's mother immediately relaxed.She ended the phone call with a few simple sentences, looked at Father Liang who had put down the phone for a while, and then sighed at the same time.

Liang Yue complained to Liang Shu while walking.

"I really can't bear it, what's the matter with parents? It's been two months and they are still fighting here! It's been ten years since the law allowed homosexuals to marry, why are they still feudal and unprogressive?" She turned her head to look at each other. Liang Shu patted his chest, "Brother, don't take it to heart, anyway, your sister and I will always support you!"

Seeing the innocent and brave face of this younger sister, who is two years younger than him, Liang Shu sighed silently in his heart, "Okay, okay, why are you talking so loudly? If the neighbors heard about this, my parents would definitely be more concerned." Not happy." Liang Shu looked around while talking, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one else in the aisle except their brother and sister.It's just that when he turned around, he met his sister's contemptuous gaze.

"Liang Shu, why are you so cowardly? As a man, can't you be tougher? It's not wrong to have different sexual orientations. You have to learn to insist on yourself!" Although Liang Yue's words were not polite, seeing her brother's pleading eyes Still turned the volume down.

Looking at the way the other party hated iron and steel, Liang Shu was a little moved, but he opened his mouth, and finally squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "How can it be so easy..."

The two brothers and sisters walked and talked like this before slipping to the gate of the community.Liang Shu lowered his head, walked forward with the suitcase for two steps, and then turned his head to look at the dissatisfied younger sister, "It's okay, don't always roll your eyes at your parents, and don't quarrel with them because of me. I'm fine, I will OK."

After Liang Shu finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and walked forward quickly.He was afraid that if he looked back again, he would cry immediately, and it would be too shameful to cry in front of his sister.Fortunately, he had already cried secretly in bed last night, and his emotions had been vented, so he could bear it now.It's just that the tears that were suppressed in the eyes dripped into the bottom of my heart, a pool of heavy, bitter and astringent.

More than two months ago, on the day of the results of the college entrance examination, Liang Shu mustered up the courage to come out to his parents.He didn't expect that his parents, who usually seemed very open-minded, could not accept the fact that their son liked men at all.In a family of four, only my younger sister supported me and stood by me.After a big quarrel between the two sides, the situation was deadlocked.Although the Liang family's parents did not accept their son's sexual orientation, they did not take any drastic measures.They neither wanted to drive Liang Shu out of the house in a bloody way, nor did they threaten to cut off his source of income. The plan they adopted was only selective cold violence.

For all the drama that comes out in gay circles, this small twist is as common as a pebble in the road.However, for Liang Shu, who has a sensitive personality, the indifference and treatment of his parents has already made him feel full of pain.This inhuman pain was slowly grinding on the tip of Liang Shu's heart like a small stone.On the one hand, he felt sad because he was not understood by his parents, and on the other hand, he hated himself who was sad because he was overly sensitive, and he was tormenting back and forth between the two moods.

Liang Shu stood on the bus platform with his head bowed in a daze, but his thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the mobile phone.Xiao Yu's name was displayed on the lit screen, Liang Shu was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth raised slightly unconsciously, and then he immediately picked up the other party's phone.

"Xiaoshu, are you okay these few days? Your parents didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Hearing the other party's gentle yet caring voice, Liang Shu felt that his heart lake was instantly poured into a clear spring, and the salt content dropped instantly.

"No, it's not really difficult." Even though Xiao Yu was his best friend, Liang Shu never thought of telling him about his pretentious troubles.Just feeling the care of the other party, his mood is indeed a little more beautiful.

"It's fine if you don't embarrass you. Where can you find such an easy-going and obedient child like you? Your parents will definitely not be willing to do anything to you even if they get angry again. It's not like me. Every time my old man hits me, he will put on a face The posture of social news."

"Hehe" Knowing that the other party said this to make the topic easier, Liang Shu smiled appropriately into the phone twice.It's just that he couldn't help despising himself even more in his heart.He and Xiao Yu grew up together, Liang Shu didn't know how many times he had seen the scene where the other made a mistake and was chased and beaten by his parents.It can be said that compared with Xiao Yu, Liang Shu grew up held in the palm of his parents.Even sometimes because of his sensitive personality, his parents treat him more indulgently than his sister.Thinking of this, Liang Shu once again felt a sense of shame.

Xiao Yu on the other side of the phone didn't know that his random words made him worry so many thoughts, in fact, what he was going to say later was the real topic. "Xiao Shu, I originally planned to go to your school to see you today, but today Wu Qianni insisted that I accompany her to the movie premiere, and she had already bought the tickets. I really can't beat her. I have no choice but to let you go." Dove. I know you won't be angry if you are so considerate, I will definitely treat you to a Japanese buffet next time and apologize to you!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Liang Shu's heart twitched, and his slow-growing mood index suffered another big plunge.Although there is no way to confide in Xiao Yu's troubles, Liang Shu still hopes to have friends by his side at this time.Obviously, Liang Shu's luck was not very good today. He turned pale from holding his breath, but he still replied habitually: "It's okay, I understand. Girlfriend, it's okay... um... It's really okay... "

Ever since Xiao Yu met his girlfriend in his second year of high school, Liang Shu was let go more and more times.In the face of love, friendship needs appropriate concessions.Liang Shu understands this very well intellectually, but he cannot accept it emotionally.He clearly realized that he was just the one who was abandoned after being compared by Xiao-Woo.It's just that this plain bitterness can only be tasted silently in his heart.

After hanging up the phone, Liang Shu took a deep breath, and after he calmed down a bit, he began to comfort himself silently.Fortunately, when I first fell in love, I didn't let myself fall in love with Xiao Yu, otherwise he must be even more sad now.It might also be a good thing to distance yourself from straight boyfriends like Jin-Woo as you get older.

Xiao Yu put down the phone, looked at Wu Qianni who was staring at him, with a helpless expression on his face, "We can go to the movies now, are you satisfied!"

Wu Qianni carefully sized Xiao Yu up, but she didn't show any sign of happiness, and the expression on her face was still the same dissatisfaction. "Listen to your own voice coaxing Liang Shu, it's really gentle and considerate, anyway, you've never coaxed me like this before!"

Xiao Yu curled his lips speechlessly: "I don't have to apologize in a gentle voice because of you letting people go, ah? You're not happy about me apologizing to others because of you, and you're still being unreasonable!"

"That's different." Wu Qianni raised her eyebrows, "You treat Liang Shu differently than you treat your buddies!" As she spoke, there was a trace of suspicion in her eyes, "I sometimes wonder if you are the same as Liang Shu." , are all gay."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Yu raised his hand and interrupted the other party's gaze, frowning with a sullen look on his face, "How could I be a gay! I'm a gay, why should I be with you? Stop making trouble, hurry up Let's go, the movie is almost here!"

"Who's making trouble!" Wu Qianni curled her lips and looked at the time, she probably also felt that her suspicion was a bit groundless, so she didn't say anything, just put her arms around Xiao Yu's arm and made a funny face at him.Xiao Yu especially liked Wu Qianni's set, and his brows relaxed.He glanced at her with a smile, and walked forward with his arms around her.Just walking, he still turned his head and added: "It's okay, don't talk nonsense."
