The dinner prepared by the Yu family was very sumptuous. The whole family and Zhai Linshen sat around the table, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Yu Shu and Mei Manzhi are not people who are used to talking about scenes, they just kept picking up food for Yu Tao and Zhai Linshen, expressing their love and welcome.

Yu Shu poured a small cup of wine by himself, and after drinking a little, he talked more, "Thanks to you taking care of Tao Tao during this time, it really caused you a lot of trouble, and there is nothing we can do, what does Tao Tao want?" Where it makes you angry, don't bother with him."

Zhai Linshen heard these words, as if his father-in-law was talking to his son-in-law.

"No. Yu Tao helped me a lot, and I should thank him." Actually, it's hard to tell who helped the other during this period of time, but during this time with Yu Tao, he was really happy and very happy. easy.

"Our family, Tao Tao, is good in every way. He used to have a gentle personality, but after some things, he became a little cold. This is also our fault as parents. We didn't enlighten him in time." Also full of distress.

Zhai Linshen really wanted to ask what happened, but he also knew that there would be no results if he asked on the table, so he was going to find an opportunity to ask in private.

"Well, Yu Tao didn't have much contact with people before. It's much better after losing his memory, and he can talk to the students in the class, and the students will come to ask Yu Tao if they don't understand anything." Zhai Linshen said.

"That's it, that's good, that's good. Tao Tao is not good in other aspects, but he still studies very hard." Speaking of his son's grades, Yu Shu is also very proud.Of course, compared to his grades, he was more happy that Yu Tao was able to be as lively and gregarious as before, which is pretty good now, but he was afraid that after recovering his memory, he would return to his original state.

Mei Er peeled the shrimp for Yu Tao, "Brother, eat!"

Yu Tao smiled and picked up chicken wings for her, "Eat more too, to grow taller."

"Ok!"

Yu Shu said to Zhai Linshen with some emotion: "Our family, Tao Tao, was very good when he was a child, unlike his sister. Mei Er is a villain, and he is very good at flattering. Tao Tao is more in a daze, even when he sees everyone. It’s not like complimenting the other person on their beauty.”

Zhai Lin smiled deeply and said, "That means Yu Tao really doesn't think the other party is pretty."

"Hey, sometimes this thing is a kind of politeness. Look at Meier, even if she sees an old lady basking in the sun downstairs, she can praise her for being kind." Yu Shu laughed.No matter what kind of child he is, he always looks proud when he talks about it.

"Why are you talking so much?" Mei Manzhi picked up Yu Shu's chopsticks and said to Zhai Linshen, "He talks a lot when he drinks, and I don't let him drink when he's teaching or teaching. It's not a holiday anymore Well, let him have a little taste, I didn't expect that there are still so many words. You eat what you have, and ignore him."

Zhai Linshen felt that there was nothing wrong with eating and talking like this, "It's okay, auntie, it's also very interesting to hear about Yu Tao's childhood. Which school does uncle teach in?"

Mei Manzhi smiled and said, "In No. [-] Middle School, I teach Chinese."

No. [-] Middle School is one of the better middle schools. The place where Yu's family lives is not far from No. [-] No. [-] Middle School. It is estimated that they bought a house here because they thought it was close to work.

"Did Yu Tao also graduated from the [-]th Middle School?" If you divide it by school district, it should be.

"Yeah." Yu Shu nodded, but didn't mention anything about the school.

Zhai Linshen didn't ask any further questions, and changed the subject: "What does Auntie do?"

Mei Manzhi said with a smile: "I'm a pastry chef. I teach students in a chef school, and I also work as a pastry consultant in several restaurants. When the menu changes every season, I help them try dishes and guide them."

"No wonder, you steamed these rolls, right?" Zhai Lin asked with a deep smile.

"Yes."

"It tastes really good." Zhai Linshen didn't mean to compliment, but it was indeed delicious.

Mei Manzhi said happily: "Eat more if you like, I steamed a lot, and I will decorate it for you when you go back."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Zhai Linshen was not polite.

After a meal, Yu Shu went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Mei Manzhi dragged Yu Tao to talk, and Mei Er pestered her brother to Yu Tao's room.

Zhai Linshen took the opportunity to sneak into the kitchen.

"Why did you come in? What do you want to eat? Will uncle wash the fruit for you?" Yu Shu laughed.

"Don't be so busy uncle, I'm quite full and I can't eat any more. Auntie dragged Yu Tao to talk, so I came in."

"It's really, how can I leave you outside alone." Yu Shu felt that even if he didn't treat Zhai Linshen as an outsider, he couldn't leave him alone.

Zhai Linshen quickly waved his hand, "It's okay uncle, I just want to talk to you."

When Yu Shu heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, then you stand far away and don't splash the water on yourself."

"It's okay." Zhai Linshen stood closer, sorted out his words, and then said, "You said at the dinner table today that Yu Tao didn't like to associate with others because of some things. What happened?"

The movements of Yu Shu's hands paused for a moment, and he became a little depressed.

Zhai Linshen continued: "Uncle, Yu Tao and I got along very well during this time. He wants to be friends with him all the time. Similarly, I also hope that I can help him. What if he thinks of something in school and feels wrong? Yes, I can figure it out in my heart, and I can explain him."

Yu Shu sighed. In fact, he was also worried. If Yu Tao remembered something and it got worse than before, it would be him and his wife who were worried.However, he was really hesitant about how to speak about this matter.

After a while, he asked, "Linshen, what do you think of homosexuality?"

"Ah?" Zhai Linshen didn't know why the topic changed to this topic, or did he say that he cared too much for Yu Tao, and Yu Shu found out that he was gay?But no matter what the situation is, Zhai Linshen still said: "It's nothing, the social atmosphere is becoming more and more open now, although same-sex marriage has not been legally recognized, but homosexuality is not uncommon, and there are many people who live well and grow old. So I don't think it's a problem."

Yu Shu looked at Zhai Linshen, as if he wanted to see from his eyes whether he was being polite or really thought so.

Zhai Lin smiled deeply and asked, "Uncle, what do you think?"

"I was surprised before, but now I have accepted it." Yu Shu still looked at Zhai Linshen.

Zhai Linshen smiled and said, "Since you don't discriminate, uncle, then I'll tell you the truth. I'm gay."

Yu Shu was surprised and almost threw the washed dishes back into the sink.

"You won't let me be friends with Yu Tao, will you?" Zhai Linshen said calmly.Anyway, sooner or later, he didn't think there was anything shady about his sexuality.The reason why he didn't come out to his family was not because he was afraid, but because he had a bad relationship with his family.

"How come?" Yu Shu quickly waved his hands, and then said with a sigh of relief: "In this case, I'll tell you straight. Yu Tao likes boys."

Zhai Linshen was not less surprised than Yu Shu, but in order not to embarrass the newly established atmosphere, he still smiled and said: "So Yu Tao is too? That's a coincidence. This is just right, and I am still worried about how to tell Yu Tao about my sexual orientation." .”

Zhai Linshen's relaxed tone obviously made Yu Shu relax, "Tao Tao liked a boy when he was in the second year of junior high school, and the two of them got together, but it didn't take long before the boy's parents found out, and then they made trouble at school. That's when I realized that Tao Tao actually likes boys."

"Actually, I should have been angry at the time, but the boy's parents made the scene known to the whole school, and even went to the principal's office, saying that Tao Tao had seduced his son and asked Tao Tao to be fired. I was very angry at the time, and I didn't care about Tao Tao's side. I just want to settle this matter and let him stop disturbing Tao Tao."

"The boy acquiesced that it was Tao Tao who seduced him, so all the blame was pointed at Tao Tao. Although this matter is not enough to be a reason to expel the students, but in the school environment, in order to avoid suspicion, or purely disgusting homosexuality, the students They began to exclude Tao Tao, even beat Tao Tao, calling him disgusting."

"For a while, Tao Tao was in a very bad state. And the boy's parents were unreasonable, and kept coming to school to make troubles, which lasted for more than half a year. Later, Tao Tao didn't like to laugh or talk, and even I don’t get in touch with anyone, and my former friends are also alienated, so I haven’t made any more friends.”

"And after this incident passed, his mother and I silently accepted the fact that he liked boys, and couldn't bear to make things difficult for him. In fact, both my mother and I knew that we didn't protect him well, and we didn't talk to that boy. Tao Tao’s parents quarreled, so it seemed that Tao Tao was really seducing the other party, and we were justified. So his mother and I have always felt guilty. And I am a teacher at Tao Tao’s school. Tao Tao may feel that he has made me ashamed, so I don’t Too willing to face me."

"In the past, Tao Tao's grades could only be regarded as above-average, not top-notch. After that incident, he devoted all his energy to his studies. In fact, he had no friends, no one was willing to talk to him, and he was not involved in all activities. What else can he do besides study?"

Speaking of this, tears welled up in Yu Shu's eyes.

"You may think that Tao Tao has lost his memory. Why did his mother and I seem very happy." Yu Shu smiled bitterly, "Actually, it's because Tao Tao has changed back to the original state, forgetting all the bad things before, so I I feel pretty good with his mother. Our Tao Tao is back again. His mother and I don’t ask for anything now, as long as Tao Tao can be happy.”

After hearing this, Zhai Linshen felt mixed feelings. He really didn't expect that Yu Tao's character was caused by this incident.At the same time, I suddenly understood the phrase "poor parents in the world".

Yu Tao's transformation from being a good boy to being ruthless in fights is actually a way of self-protection.Yu Tao has experienced so many things at such a young age, and he can't help feeling sorry for Yu Tao.

"Uncle, don't worry. I am friends with Yu Tao, and I will take good care of him in the future, so that others will not bully him." Zhai Linshen said seriously.

Yu Shu nodded, and said quite relievedly: "Okay, then we will leave Tao Tao to you."

Having a friend of the same kind should be the best for Yu Tao.

In order not to let Yu Tao see anything, Zhai Linshen went back to the living room after talking to Yu Shu.

After Mei Manzhi finished chatting with Yu Tao, the two of them prepared to go back to Zhai's house.Before leaving, Mei Manzhi packed a bag of flower rolls for them.

Zhai Linshen asked when they were still at home, and he brought Yu Tao back for dinner.

Yu Shu and Mei Manzhi were very happy and set a time with him.

Mei Er was a little unhappy when she saw that her brother was leaving, but she was happy again after hearing that her brother came back for dinner two days later.He obediently waved his hand and sent the two of them away.

After leaving the community, Zhai Linshen received a call from his eldest brother, asking when they would be back and if he should drive to pick them up.

Zhai Linshen said that they had come out and would take a taxi back later.

"Go to the supermarket and buy some snacks before going back. My house doesn't have any snacks you like." Zhai Linshen said.

If you listen carefully, you will find that his tone is gentler than before.

"It's okay if I don't eat." Yu Tao didn't want Zhai's family to worry, so he thought it would be better to go back as soon as possible.

"How boring is it to stay at home without anyone who likes to eat?" Zhai Linshen said: "I don't want to go far, just find a supermarket nearby."

"Okay." Yu Tao agreed.

It was almost nine o'clock when the two returned to Zhai's house after shopping.

The Zhai family's villa was brightly lit, as if celebrating some happy event.

As soon as Yu Tao entered, he attracted the attention of everyone in the family.

What Zhai Linshen didn't expect was that his busy father came back.

"This is Yu Tao, right?" Zhai Shiyi stood up and walked over with a smile.

Zhai Linshen's relationship with his family members was indeed not very good, but he didn't want to make the family atmosphere too bad because of his indifference, lest Yu Tao live here and feel depressed.

"This is my father." Zhai Linshen introduced to Yu Tao.

Yu Tao obediently said, "Hello, Uncle, excuse me."

Zhai Shiyi smiled and said: "Don't bother, don't bother, just treat it as your own home, and tell your aunt if you need anything."

Apart from Xiang Jinjie, Zhai Linshen never brought any other friends home.That boy Xiang Jinjie is not the same as Zhai Linshen, and he doesn't like to study. Although he doesn't dislike him, he definitely doesn't help Zhai Linshen in his studies.But Yu Tao was different. He heard from his elder son that he was a top student and could be friends with his own bastard, so he didn't know what kind of luck Zhai Linshen had hit.He didn't expect Zhai Linshen to become famous, anyway, his company would be for Zhai Linshen in the future, as long as Zhai Linshen got admitted to a university seriously, and the three books were also very good.

"Hello, Yu Tao, we've met before." You Meixi stepped forward with a smile, making people feel very friendly, unlike some beautiful women who are aggressive.

"Hello, Auntie." Yu Tao smiled.Even if she was a stepmother, before Yu Tao saw that she did bad things to Zhai Linshen, she still wouldn't hold prejudice against her.

"Hello, brother." The boy I met in the bookstore stood beside You Meixi and said hello to him.

Seeing him, Yu Tao thought of his sister, and took two bags of snacks from the snack bag and handed them to him, "I don't know if you like it or not, but he picked it for you when I went to the supermarket with your brother."

Of course, it couldn't be Zhai Linshen's choice, but Yu Tao just wanted to take the opportunity to sell Zhai Linshen well, so that his mother wouldn't make things difficult for Zhai Linshen.

Zhai Linshen looked at Yu Tao with displeasure, this was obviously bought for Yu Tao, why did he choose it especially for this little one?

Zhai Yusi and You Meixi looked pleasantly surprised.

Zhai Yusi said happily: "Thank you brother, thank you second brother, I like it."

Zhai Linshen ignored him, and introduced the man standing aside to Yu Tao, "This is my elder brother, Zhai Linzhao."

"Hello, brother."

Zhai Linzhao nodded, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early too. Will Yu Tao sleep in the guest room, or live with you?"

Zhai Linshen immediately said: "Stay with me, everything is convenient."

Zhai Linzhao nodded, "Then I'll go upstairs first."

After speaking, I went upstairs first.

Yu Tao thought that Zhai Linzhao, like Zhai Linshen, didn't quite fit in with the family, so he went upstairs after seeing him.

You Meixi smiled and said: "You guys also go upstairs to rest, Yu Si should be going to bed too."

Zhai Linshen ignored him and went upstairs directly.

Yu Tao politely said "good night" to them before going upstairs with Zhai Linshen.He suddenly felt the helplessness of being in a big family. Zhai Linshen's home was already like a house in a novel to him. He did not expect that the family relationship was so complicated.It seems that he has to treat Zhai Linshen better in the future and make up for Zhai Linshen's lack of family affection!
