easy to be a man

It was less than four o'clock when Liang Shu finished class, which was still early for the meeting time agreed with his parents.

However, he couldn't sit still like a fire in his heart, and he took the subway home after class.

Arriving at the gate of the residential area, Liang Shu's footsteps began to hesitate.

It's only five o'clock now, and his parents are definitely not at home. Although he still has the authority to open the door, he can't help but go home by himself like he used to when he was in high school, doing homework while waiting for Liang's mother to come back. Make your own supper.

Liang Shu sighed, feeling sour in his heart.He lingered at the gate of the community, kneading the strap of his schoolbag repeatedly, and finally took a deep breath and entered the gate of the community.Just kidding, if he hangs around the door for a while longer, Uncle Security will definitely come out and ask him what he does, and there will be too much noise.

After getting out of the elevator, Liang Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he walked to his door.

There are two households on each floor of this building, and there is a long corridor in front of each household.If it is not a special visit, it is almost impossible to pass by other people's doors.Therefore, Liang Shu waited at the door of his house, but no one paid attention.

Liang Shu looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he took out his mobile phone and started to read the "speech draft" he had prepared.Ever since he learned that his parents asked to see him last night, Liang Shu started to prepare.He listed questions about boyfriends, questions about coming out of the closet, and questions related to school life, and racked his brains to write down "reference answers", which can be said to be very sufficient.It's just that after Liang Shu looked at the phone several times, he still couldn't stop panicking.He can't help but think: What should he do if his parents still can't accept his sexual orientation?So what if they don't want to hear themselves explained?

Liang Shu's head was in a mess, walking up and down with his feet, but he couldn't think of any countermeasures, and finally hit his head with his mobile phone to relieve his anxiety.

And at this moment, Liang Shu heard a familiar voice calling his name.

"Xiaoshu?"

Liang Shu froze, and slowly turned around, only to find that Liang's mother had returned.He turned around, immediately put the phone behind his back, and called out tremblingly: "Mom."

"What are you doing, kid? You're still standing at the door when you get home." Liang's mother scolded Liang Shu as usual, and opened the door of the house with authority.Liang Shu bowed his head and listened to Liang's mother's words without making a sound, but stepped aside with a wink. He waited for Liang's mother to enter the door before entering the house, and carefully closed the door.

Liang's mother glanced back, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, but she didn't say anything, she just talked about other things, "Your father will come back later, see what you want to eat, mother will cook first."

Liang Shu stood in front of the door with his head down and didn't move. Hearing this, he just yelled "Mom..."

Mother Liang finally sighed after seeing it.She put down the apron in her hand, opened the seat, and sat at the dining table.He also poured a glass of water and pushed it to the seat opposite her, beckoning to Liang Shu, "Sit down."

Liang Shu lowered his head and obediently walked to the dining table and sat down. He put down his schoolbag but did not throw it on the sofa like before, but leaned the schoolbag neatly on the back of his chair.With the weight reduced, Liang Shu's shoulders relaxed, but his heart became a little more tense, and his hands hid under the table at a loss and twisted into a ball.Although a "draft" had already been typed, Liang Shu felt as if he was choking, unable to say anything.

Seeing this, Mother Liang's face was slightly condensed. She lowered her head and took a sip of water before asking, "How was your time at school?"

"I, I have a good life." Liang Shu replied subconsciously, and after thinking about it, he added: "I also participated in the marketing competition."

"Really?" Mother Liang smiled, "Did you participate with that boyfriend of yours?"

"No." Liang Shu immediately raised his head and explained in a panic, "Zhou Liming is not my boyfriend, it's all gossip in school, and it's just because he and I are roommates that we get closer. It's not a relationship."

His anxious look made Liang's mother's smile stop on her face just now, she took another sip of water, relieved a little before she said: "Xiao Shu, after you left after school, parents have been thinking about it for a while. A lot. In fact, we have no objection now..." Liang's mother paused: "I can accept you looking for a boyfriend, so you don't have to be so nervous."

"But that's really not..." Liang Shu suddenly realized half of the explanation, and he was completely speechless in surprise.After a while, he found his voice, "Mom, you..."

Liang's mother sighed, "Xiaoshu, in fact, your father and I have known about your sexuality for a long time, but we haven't told you about it. One reason is that we don't know how to face it, and the other reason is that I still have fantasies. , I hope your sexual orientation can gradually change and become like most people. It’s just that we didn’t expect that a sensitive and cautious child like you would be so bold, and suddenly announced it to us. I was not prepared at all. "

Seeing the tangled and tired look on his mother's face, Liang Shu's tears welled up in his eyes instantly, "Mom, I'm sorry." He said something without thinking, but the tears flowed more and more fiercely.Liang Shu knew that his emotional value had gone up again, but this time he didn't want to control the spread of his emotions at all.Ever since he came out, the guilt towards his parents has been tormenting him from the bottom of his heart, but today he finally showed his feelings to Liang's mother.

Seeing Liang Shu crying like this, Liang's mother's eyes also turned red. She took a few tissues and wiped Liang Shu's face, "Really, I like crying since I was a child."

After Liang Shu wiped away her tears, Mother Liang continued: "Don't apologize, in fact, it should be me and your dad who did not do well. This is the first time Mom and Dad have encountered such a thing, and they don't know how to deal with it. Okay. Your father and I are middle-aged, and besides wishing that you and your sister can grow up healthy and become adults, the most important thing is that you both can live an ordinary and happy life. So seeing the future If there is a deviation, you will be at a loss." Mother Liang sighed with a smile, and gently patted Liang Shu on the head.

Liang Shu's emotions surged even more after hearing this, and the emotions in his heart rushed to his mouth, "Mom, I don't know what you think. I'm still worried that you and my dad will not want me? Liang Shu The little girl Yue told me that you have been paying attention to the matter of adopting children recently. I was so scared that I didn’t sleep well for several days. In fact, it took me a long time to think about coming out to you before I mustered up the courage. Since I was a child, I didn’t I will tell you everything, and I don't want to keep it a secret. Because I think, no matter what, we are a family that can understand and tolerate each other, and I can't stand even a little bit of estrangement with you!"

"Xiaoshu..."

"Mother……"

When the mother and son looked at each other with tears in their eyes, the door of the house suddenly opened, and Father Liang entered the house with big bags and small bags.

"Oh, Xiaoshu is back. I know you came back today. On the way home, I bought roast bran, roast goose, and husband and wife's lung slices, all of which you like..." Father Liang happily reported the name of the dish, and looked up. It turned out that something was wrong.He quickly put down his things, and persuaded the two of them: "You two have red eyes, are you quarreling again? Axia, didn't you agree not to quarrel this time? Xiaoshu! You let me too Mom! Your mother is now in menopause, if you get angry..."

"Liang Wenqing, you can shut up!" Liang's mother yelled, ending Liang's father's thoughts.

"Xiaoshu and I are so good that there is no quarrel! You really don't know how to read the atmosphere! What are you doing with the things you bought on the table? Why don't you hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook? Let's see what time you come back?"

"Okay, okay." Liang's father quickly changed his shoes, picked up his things and went into the kitchen, but while walking towards the kitchen, he winked at Liang's mother.

Liang Shu hadn't cried in front of his parents for a long time, and he was a little embarrassed to be smashed by Liang's father suddenly, so he saw his father's actions and pretended not to see them.Seeing that Liang's mother nodded to Liang's father angrily, and then patted Liang Shu's shoulder reassuringly, she stood up and went to help in the kitchen.Liang Shu didn't know what the husband and wife whispered in the kitchen.

Liang's father and Liang's mother were busy for a while, and all the dishes were brought to the table.

It's been a long time since I ate with my family, and I still eat what I like.Liang Shu put down the big stone in his heart, and his appetite got better.He was enjoying his meal, and when he looked up, he saw Father Liang who was sitting opposite him, hesitant to speak.Liang Shu didn't think too much before opening his mouth: "Dad, what do you want to say?"

Father Liang hesitated for a while before he said to him: "Xiao Shu, your mother and I pay attention to adopting children, in fact, it is for you to get married in the future to understand the situation first. Although the artificial uterus has been researched, it is said that it will be put into use soon. , but who knows if this new thing is safe to use or not, or adopting a child sounds more reliable..."

"What are you talking about, let's eat! Why are you in a hurry, you can't save it for later!" Liang's mother gave Liang's father an arm, and interrupted him.

Liang Shu opened his mouth, and was taken aback by Father Liang's words.

It's just that Liang's mother taught him a lesson this time, but Liang's father was very unconvinced: "I am explaining to Xiaoshu, so that he likes to think about things without understanding the situation like you. Besides, Xiaoshu has a boyfriend now , maybe you will get married as soon as you graduate, how can you not be in a hurry, the problems are all in front of you!"

When Liang Shu heard Father Liang's words, his head grew dizzy.He hurriedly explained to the other party, "Dad, no! I don't have a boyfriend, and it's all rumors. I don't know where Liang Yue heard the rumors, but she came back and told you all. Really? thing!"

"No?" After receiving Liang Shu's clear nod, Father Liang sighed in disappointment. "I thought you were promising, and you found a tall, rich and handsome guy as soon as you entered college..."

After Liang's mother poked his waist again, Liang's father stopped talking, "Okay, okay, let's eat."

Liang Shu was embarrassed by Father Liang's words, "Dad, you, your acceptance is too high, I can't bear it..."

Father Liang ate a peanut and sighed, "That's because your father has accepted this fact a long time ago, and he has made preparations for a long time. Before, he was with your mother to make trouble, otherwise your mother would be alone at home." How pitiful it is to be alone and helpless."

"Liang Wenqing, can you shut up and eat!"

Liang's mother roared again, but Liang's father finally stopped.

The door of the house just opened again at this time, and it was Liang Yue who came home from school.She sniffed her nose, and immediately cried out in dissatisfaction, "Why are you eating delicious food behind my back? The ones you bought are all what my brother likes to eat. Once you reconcile, you don't care about me! Who is my brother and I?" It's the little girl at home!"

"Nonsense again, didn't you eat at school at night, you won't be afraid of gaining weight if you eat any more!" Mother Liang frowned and taught Liang Yue a lesson.

Father Liang smiled and waved to his daughter, "How could you forget my daughter? Dad specially bought red bean balls and braised chicken feet for you to eat when you come home. Anyway, my daughter is like me, Can't get fat!"

"Father!" Liang Yue immediately flattered Liang's father with a flattering face, and Liang's mother began to criticize Liang's father in anger, "Liang Wenqing, did you do it on purpose, and you know that you are against me every day!"

Liang Shu watched the family's happy quarrel, and smiled silly.

The family is so nice, and his heart is full of tenderness and warmth.

The WeChat group on Liang Shu's mobile phone suddenly rang several times in a row. He opened it and saw that it was from the class group wishing Zhou Liming a happy birthday.

It turns out that today is Zhou Liming's birthday!Liang Shu thought for a while and didn't say anything in the group, but sent a message of blessing to Zhou Liming alone.

It's just that the other party didn't reply for a long time.
