I bend when you confess

"I saw you, I hung up."

Duan Yao waved his hand towards Qi Shi, hung up the phone and walked towards him.Today is Wei Jing's wedding. Although he is considered a married man and cannot be the best man, he and Qi Shi went to help early in the morning.It's just that before the float to pick up the bride left, he was urged back to the company to work overtime by the boss's life-threatening series of calls. When he came back again, the ceremony was over and the banquet had begun.The newlyweds are toasting wine table by table.

Qi Shi poured him a cup of tea and gave him a rest.However, within 5 minutes after he sat down, Wei Xuzhi put his shoulders on his shoulders.There are too many booing people, the best man and bridesmaid can't drink enough, they have stopped cooking, so Duan Yao is asked to help with a drink.

Duan Yao responded immediately, took the things in Qi Shi's bowl, picked up some stuff for the bottom, and rushed over.As soon as he left, the vacant seat was taken.

"It's good that you two are still together."

Qi Shi looked at his old friend holding the wine glass and raised his eyebrows: "Why are you here?"

Liang Jingyan smiled and pointed to a dress: "I'm the best man."

"The best man who has stopped cooking and asked my Duan Yao to rescue him?"

Liang Jingyan poured himself a glass of wine, shook his head, and repeated the original sentence: "Dog food is distributed again, but it's good for you two."

Only then did Qi Shi feel that something was wrong, took the wine glass in his hand, and changed it to a cup of hot tea: "Are you drunk?"

Liang Jingyan looked up at him, his eyes were clear, but the smile on his lips was slightly cold.

"No. It's just that I suddenly realized that the affectionate persona really isn't suitable for me." He raised his hand and patted Qi Shi's shoulder, "Okay, I'll go first. Since we're all in the imperial capital, I'll contact you when I have time."

Qi Shi looked at his straight back thoughtfully.

……

"Wei Jing?"

Duan Yao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Fa Xiao's eyes, and bent his lips: "What are you looking at? Come and introduce your bride to me. I only see you now after hiding so tightly."

He loosened his tie casually, and after a round of toasts, he piled up several kinds of wine, which made his stomach feel hot and his whole body a little hot.

"Don't blame him, it's because I don't have time. I just flew back from England two days ago." The bride stretched out her hand to him, "Duan Yao, right? The little sisters have secretly asked me."

"I have a master." Duan Yao paused for a moment, then smiled, and asked tentatively, "Didn't Wei Jing tell you? My family is at the banquet."

"How can she have time to listen to me? She stays in the laboratory all day long." Wei Jing interjected, raising his chin at the same time, "Qi Shi found it, you play by yourself, I'll take the slave to rest first. many."

Duan Yao responded with a smile, but frowned at their backs.

"What's wrong?" Qi Shi looked in the direction of his line of sight.

"I always feel that something is wrong." The two of them walked back, before Duan Yao could explain why, someone slammed into his calf.He was fine, but the little guy he bumped into gave a soft leg and sat on the ground.

The wedding ceremony was roughly arranged according to Wen Cong's intention. The main color of the whole hall is elegant mint color, with light gauze hanging on the table, and many champagne roses and balloons, which are very popular with children.After toasting all the way, Duan Yao saw many little girls playing around yarn and flowers, while little boys ran after balloons.Looking at the balloons around him, it seems that this one is the same.

"Did you fall? Let brother see." Duan Yao squatted down and helped the little boy up.

Qi Shi laughed at him from the side: "You are probably 20 years older than him, what about your brother?"

Duan Yao ignored him.Just carefully patted the little boy's hands clean, and then stuffed the balloon back into his hand: "Okay, it's fine, let's go play."

"Thank you brother!" The little guy smiled sweetly at him, and suddenly ran behind him, "Mom, I caught Qiuqiu!"

"I've told you several times, don't run around."

A familiar voice came from behind, and Duan Yao's body stiffened instantly when he stood upright. Qi Shi looked at the person coming, and separated the two of them by shifting his body, asking in a low voice, "Let's go?"

"I'll see you soon." Duan Yao shook his head, looked at the little guy, and laughed at himself, "You really are my brother."

"Xiao Ran went back with her mother, and told her brother——"

The voice stopped abruptly, Duan Yao raised his eyes to meet Shang Guan Jinghan's gaze, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said "Ms. Guan."

Guan Jinghan was startled, looked at the eldest son in front of her, and nodded.Not seeing each other for five years, she no longer talks casually like before, she clearly felt the obvious change in Duan Yao.He grew taller and his shoulders became stronger.Wearing a white shirt with open neckline and sleeves rolled up to the forearm, he looks more and more like his father.It's just that the sharpness that used to be sharp and sharp has been replaced with warmth over time, and the whole person has matured a lot.

"Yaoyao." Guan Jinghan rolled her hair uncomfortably and asked, "That's right, why didn't you come to Wei Jing's wedding banquet. Are you... all right?"

Duan Yao nodded, and held Qi Shi's hand behind him: "Very good. I have a job, a small family, and a lover."

Hearing the last three words, Guan Jinghan shifted her gaze to Qi Shi's face, feeling familiar.Duan Yao reminded her: "I was at the same table in high school."

He didn't mean to introduce.

Guan Jinghan frowned immediately: "Then you lied to me back then—"

"No." Qi Shi stopped in front of Duan Yao, "I'm taking the liberty to intervene, but we were indeed not together at that time. Duan Yao didn't lie to you."

This unexpected encounter came to an end in a hurry, and it could barely be called neither happy nor sad.Duan Yao thought that they were supposed to be like this side, meet and greet each other, separate from each other, and there would be no other intersections.However, a few days later, he received a call from Ms. Guan asking him to meet.

Duan Yao hurried over after get off work, but was still a few minutes late.

The location was in a quiet coffee shop, and Guan Jinghan didn't open a box, but chose a seat by the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street with a view of the street.The blackout bamboo curtain is pulled up, and you can see the neon lights when you look up.

"Sorry, I'm late." He pulled out the chair and sat down.

"I chose the wrong time. It's work, it's inevitable to work overtime." Guan Jinghan smiled, stirring the coffee with a spoon, and returned to her capable appearance, without any unease at the wedding banquet.

"I thought about it. You probably have resentment against us in your heart. Although the matter is a foregone conclusion, you are still my son. I don't want you to live your life with resentment in your heart. So I call you out this time because I have something to give Make it clear."

Duan Yao pursed his lips, and asked the waiter to order a latte: "The past has passed, there is nothing to explain."

He didn't want to hear what Guan Jinghan said, he just wanted to excuse them.But the Duan family's announcement of severing ties with him was sent out. He couldn't figure out why Guan Jinghan did this?Is it really for Duan Yao as she said?

"Look at you kid, you are still as stubborn as before." Guan Jinghan curled her lips and took a sip of coffee, "I want to talk about the past of the Duan family. It starts with your great-grandfather."

Duan Yao looked up at her.

The Duan family was once regarded as one of the best in this imperial capital.However, once Grandpa Duan Yao stood in the wrong team, not only did he get down from a high position, but even Grandpa Duan, who had been training abroad at the time, struggled and was restrained everywhere. Finally, he returned to the imperial capital, abandoned politics and went into business.It is conceivable how much the Duan family was affected at that time.

Grandpa Duan is an expert in the officialdom, but in terms of business, he is stretched and difficult to deal with.What's more, the wall fell down and everyone pushed, Duan's family looked like that, there were no helpers in the snow, but there were a lot of people who were in trouble everywhere.Looking at such a scene, Old Master Duan felt that he had ruined the Duan family, was ashamed of his ancestors, became sick from worry, and soon fell seriously ill in bed. Before he passed away, he held his son's hand and told him It is necessary to return to the officialdom and reorganize the Duan family, otherwise he will not be able to rest in peace when he dies!

Grandpa Duan agreed, but the situation was special at that time. In a short period of time, there was absolutely no place for the Duan family in the officialdom, so he could only struggle in the shopping malls to maintain the expenses of the family.As for the rest of his thoughts, he put all his thoughts on Duan Zhuosong's teaching.

"Putting the Duan family first in everything, the Duan family will definitely return to the officialdom, and there will be no room for dirt. Your father was raised like this." Guan Jinghan sighed softly, "He has hardly lived for himself. "

"Then what happened later? Why didn't he go into politics?" Duan Yao asked.

"How much do you know about your grandfather's illness? Don't look at how he lived a more peaceful life later. Before you were born, it was not an ordinary danger."

Originally, Duan Zhuosong really planned to enter politics after graduating from university. However, Grandpa Duan suddenly became seriously ill. Not to mention the critical situation, the required expenses were not small. Coupled with the targeting and criticism from the outside world, internal and external troubles, so that he did not graduate at that time. But Duan Zhuosong, who had already shown extraordinary vision during college, had to take over his own company, and resolutely married Guan Jinghan, the only daughter of the Guan family who liked him. With the support of the Guan family and the harmonious relationship with the juniors of the Wei family, he was able to turn the tide.However, Duan Zhuosong's political career ended before it even started.

Passed down from generation to generation, the mission of this family finally fell on Duan Yao who was just born.

"That's why your father is so angry when he knows your sexual orientation. Yaoyao, you should know that once rumors of homosexuality break out in the officialdom, this person will be ruined."

"But you never asked my opinion." Duan Yao looked up at her, "I have the right to make choices about my life."

"Yaoyao, you should know that being born in a noble family means that there is helplessness in being born into a noble family. There are some things that you can't choose if you want. This is a responsibility, I believe you understand. Otherwise, you would not have planned to give up your relationship in the first place. And choose family."

"No, you are wrong." Duan Yao interrupted her, his eyes shining.

"I chose the family instead of the family. I chose my parents, not the responsibilities and missions of the Duan family."

Although he has the awareness to take over the scheming family, what prompted him to make the choice at the beginning was because Guan Jinghan and Duan Zhuosong were on the other side of the balance, they were his blood relatives, not the cold Duan family.

Guan Jinghan was blocked by his words, and did not speak for a while.He lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Mom, since you want to talk, let me talk too."

Duan Yao waited for a long time, but did not wait for the sound, and finally spoke by himself.

"I do have depression in my heart. What you said about you and my dad forcing me to choose is because you have difficulties, so I admit it. But in those 18 years, the gap between me and you was far more than this one."

Arm resting on the edge of the table, he took a sip of coffee, pinched the cup and put it down, lowering his eyes and smiling.

"Do you know when I was the saddest? It wasn't when you ignored me when I was young, or when my dad threw me to Yijiang, and it wasn't when you asked me to make a choice, but in the end, the last moment... ..."

"No son will abandon his parents because of his love partner. I thought about it at that time. I promised you and let go of Qi Shi. Although I want to let you accept it slowly, if there is nothing that can tempt me in the future I am a human being, and those who are sexual or not are not so important. Maybe I will really hide for the rest of my life as you said, and I will probably follow the path you arranged for me. But, I didn't expect that you Everything has been arranged in advance.”

"The child who takes over from me in my belly, the separate account, and some so-called considerations and compensations. Maybe in your opinion, this is just a preparation in advance, just like my father's business negotiation, every time it will be done well planB, but I am your son, not a business. In the business field, it is far-sighted and foolproof. But when it comes to me, a flesh and blood person, I can only feel that you don’t care at all I, never put me in my heart. I am just a person who can be replaced at any time and is dispensable."

Hearing these words, Guan Jinghan trembled her hands and nearly spilled the coffee. She no longer calmed down, her eyes were shocked, and she explained in a trembling voice: "Yaoyao... Mom loves you."

"I believe."

Duan Yao curled up his fingers, took the cup and put it down again, finally looked at the feasting lights outside the glass, and bent his lips: "It's just that you love my dad more, and my dad loves the Duan family more."

His voice was calm, as if he was only talking about an insignificant matter.

"I'm also surprised that I'm talking about it so calmly, which means it's really over. Again, I'm doing fine now, with a job, a family, and a lover. You don't have to worry about me , if you have time, you can pay more attention to my younger brother. His name is Duan Ran, right? That child is very cute."

Duan Yao didn't look at his mother with a gloomy face by the window, he paid the bill, pushed the door and went out, wearing a black shirt, blending into the thick night.Behind him, Guan Jinghan shed tears, and finally realized how much they were ashamed of this child.

It didn't know when it began to rain lightly outside the door, bringing a slight chill.Duan Yao put down his shirt and long sleeves, ready to go to the subway station.However, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw a person standing under the eaves, looking at him gently.Suddenly he frowned.

"How did you come?"

"Come to pick you up." Qi Shi put on the windbreaker on his arm, opened the umbrella, and included people in it.

"I can find the way back." Duan Yao looked at him with a smile.

"But I want to go with you." Qi Shi held his hand and interlocked his fingers.

Duan Yao frowned slightly.After a long time, time has repaired his mottled and tattered heart, and he is no longer the boy who used to cry in the airport.However, the person who came to receive him never changed.

A black umbrella separates the two worlds, they drift away from the hustle and bustle, all the way to eternity.
