when you look at me

Yuan Yiping's first reaction was: Chen Shuo doesn't know how to make an appointment. Has Pao made an appointment at home?

No, Yuan Yiping immediately denied his guess. Although Chen Shuo was corrupt, he was not out of his mind.

"What?" Yuan Yiping decided to play dumb: "Like men? What do you mean?"

"That's the one..." Mom paused, then lowered her voice: "Er Yizi...you know the kind of thing that happens between men and men?"

"...Chen Shuo?!" Yuan Yiping opened his eyes very smoothly and said nonsense: "No way...Chen Shuo doesn't look like that. Aren't those kind of men pretty girly?"

"That's right!" Mom sighed, "I never would have imagined that Chen Shuo's child... he... oh. His parents are going crazy. His father, the day before yesterday, fell directly from the second floor! I don't know if I was stunned or jumped on purpose, alas..."

Yuan Yiping's heart trembled, and he thought to himself, even to this extent, it seems that Chen Shuo's aptitude has been discovered for real, and there is no room for maneuver - otherwise, it would not be this way.

"His parents...how did they find out about this?"

"He said it himself!" Mom sighed, "Even if he really is... why did he insist on saying it? This kid doesn't know what he's trying to figure out! How do you think his parents will live in the future?"

Yuan Yiping was stunned.

Chen Shuo, take the initiative to come out to his parents?

He's crazy?

He had carefully concealed it for so many years, why did he suddenly come out?

he--

"Mom..." Yuan Yiping opened his mouth, but made no sound.

"Ok?"

"It's okay, I... I hung up, it's time to go to work."

Yuan Yiping was restless all afternoon. The Chinese characters and numbers on the computer screen seemed to turn into Arabic with twists and turns. He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't take anything into his mind.

Fortunately, the students have just started school recently, and their small online education institution has nothing to do. When it was time to get off work, Yuan Yiping put on his backpack and greeted Liang Yuyi and Duan Hang: "I'm leaving first. "

Liang Yuyi raised her head: "Eh? Aren't you going?" She said yesterday that she wanted to invite Duan Hang to dinner today. In order to thank Duan Hang for accompanying her to choose the wedding dress last time, she asked Yuan Yiping if he wanted to come.

"...No," Yuan Yiping said with a numb mind, "I have something to do."

Liang Yuyi smiled: "Look at your guilty look, are you going on a date?"

"..." Yuan Yiping could only shake his head: "No, goodbye." After speaking, he walked out of the office.

Liang Yuyi was left behind and asked Duan Hang: "What happened to him today?"

Duan Hang replied naively: "Brother Yuan won't be broken in love, right?"

Yuan Yiping didn't even eat dinner, and went straight back to the rental house.At this time, the roommate was still off work, and even the speakers in the fruit shop downstairs were perfectly silent. Yuan Yiping sat by the bed and heard his own heartbeat clearly.

He thinks it's not good, it's boring - he has his own life, and Chen Shuo is separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, so he can't do it because of Chen Shuo's things.

So he sent Chen Shuo a video request on WeChat.

After 11 seconds, the video is connected.

Yuan Yiping saw the green paint on the wall behind Chen Shuo at a glance.

"Are you in the hospital?"

"Well, my dad..." Chen Shuo smiled, and Yuan Yiping noticed that his chin had become sharper, and his whole face was much thinner.

"Is your father alright?"

"It's not particularly serious." Chen Shuo's voice was obviously hoarse: "But a steel nail needs to be put in the knee."

The two exchanged a few words with each other, and it was tacitly understood that neither of them mentioned Chen Shuo's coming out of the closet.

"Oh, that's good...I..." Yuan Yiping found that he had nothing to say, so he had to say in a hurry: "I will send you a red envelope later, you remember to accept it, it is... a little love for Uncle Chen. "

"Hey, goodbye." Chen Shuo smiled again, with a calm expression, "How can you receive a red envelope for such a thing? The reason why he was hospitalized this time is not honorable."

Yuan Yiping's throat choked, and he didn't know what to say.

Chen Shuo said that it was disgraceful for his father to be hospitalized because he came out of the closet. It was true at first glance, but Yuan Yiping felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it. He always felt that what Chen Shuo said was actually that he was gay. , disgraceful.

Chen Shuo has indulged in sensuality for so many years, Yuan Yiping thought he would be proud of it, or at least not ashamed of it.

Did he always feel that he was disgraced?

"Since it's disgraceful, why did you tell them?" Yuan Yiping said that ignorantly, before he realized it, the palm of his hand holding the phone suddenly tightened.

Chen Shuo on the screen didn't speak or move, as if the video call was frozen.

But Yuan Yiping knew that it wasn't Caton.

Chen Shuo just looked at Yuan Yiping like this, his face turned pale, his lips turned pale, and he looked haggard.But his gaze was like water - not a turning stream, but a raging river, sweeping over Yuan Yiping.

After a while, Chen Shuo said calmly, "Don't you know?"

Yuan Yiping responded instinctively and quickly denied: "I don't know!"

The corner of Chen Shuo's mouth curled up: "You know."

Before Yuan Yiping could speak, he continued: "Call me when you are crying, and I will come out, Yuan Yiping, can this make you believe me? I told you before that I was a mess in Shenzhen, you I don't know how determined I was to say this, but as soon as you call me, I can only go back on my word, I can't control myself. Yuan Yiping, I—"

He didn't finish speaking, but Yuan Yiping hung up the call as if he had already fled.
