Shelf life love

The TV in the living room was tuned to Yuecheng Satellite TV, which was replaying the star party of the previous few days.It seems that the Spring Festival is the time to watch such a joyous program, Cui Yi turned up the volume on purpose, and said to Qi Lin who was busy washing the windows: "Be careful, or do you want your dad to come?"

Half of Qi Lin's body was hanging outside, but before he leaned out, he tied an elastic rope to himself with a sense of safety, "It's okay, I usually clean it, I have experience. Besides, I am about the same height as Dad, so I can't wipe the place , he can't wipe it off either."

Qi Wenjiu is the chef of the Qi family. He was sweating profusely in the kitchen. Hearing this, he came to the living room, "Our son is promising."

"Didn't you hear that your son is complaining that we are not usually at home?" Cui Yi said with a smile: "Listen, he usually wipes it himself."

"Alas—" Qi Lin finally wiped the outside clean, and burrowed back with great effort, "I'm not complaining. You have worked hard to make money to support me, please accept my thanks!"

"You child." Qi Wenjiu helped to take away the dirty towel, "By the way, Teacher Liu praised you again during the parent-teacher meeting this time. He said that your grades fluctuated a lot at the beginning of this semester, but I talked to you halfway through. After that, you made up your mind to study hard, and your rankings in the next two exams have risen. With your grades, even if you don't participate in Art Recruitment, you can be on the top of the list."

Cui Yi said in time: "Wen Jiao, what are you talking about!"

Qi Wenjiao was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "Isn't I praising our son for his good grades?"

"Don't keep mentioning that you won't participate in art recruitment, my son won't listen to it."

"Didn't I just talk casually, so stop talking about it."

Listening to his parents' argument, Qi Lin didn't speak.

In fact, Qi Wenjiu has never been very happy about his learning to paint, but Cui Yi supports all his hobbies.Qi Wenjiu hoped that he would focus on culture classes like Qi Han, get into a prestigious school, and go abroad in the future.

Long before he was in high school, he had heard Qi Wenjiu talk to Cui Yi about moving his family to Country E. Country E's medical research industry is leading in the world, and the headquarters of the unit they work for is also in Country E. Qi Han is now studying in Country E, and there is a high probability that he will work in Country E after graduation.If he didn't study art and applied for an ordinary popular major, he might be able to study in country E in the future.

In the past, he did not reject living in country E, but now, because of Ye Zhuohan, he was unwilling to go abroad.

"Did Liu really praise me?" Qi Lin said deliberately.

Qi Wenjiu stopped arguing with Cui Yi, "What a compliment! Why, don't you believe me? Teacher Liu has always admired you."

Qi Lin pondered for a while, pretending to be relaxed, but actually looked at his parents when he said every word, "Really? He didn't say that to me. Just in the middle of the semester, he said with certainty that my grades fluctuated. It's because I'm in love."

Two gazes rushed over at the same time, Qi Lin tensed his body subconsciously.

"You..." Cui Yi said in surprise, "Did you fall in love?"

Qi Lin didn't answer directly, and continued: "Old Liu said that I am super handsome. Since the first year of high school, male and female classmates have confessed to me..."

He bit the word "male classmate" very hard, and noticed that Cui Yi's face suddenly turned cold, and he was terribly unfamiliar.

A very bad feeling rose up.

In fact, since childhood, Cui Yi has been a reasonable mother in his heart, who respects his hobbies and never dampens his enthusiasm for the next time just because he gave up halfway the last time.

It is for this reason that he intends to test his parents and hope for their blessing.

Cui Yi's reaction was beyond his expectation.

"What do you mean?" Trey said, "You're dating a boy? Is that..."

Qi Lin hastily interrupted, "Old Liu is thinking about it! Didn't I get 33rd in the final exam of the first semester of high school? Later, I didn't adjust at the beginning of the second year of high school and fell back dozens of places. He said that I am so handsome. In love."

The fear in Cui Yi's eyes still hasn't faded, "Then have you ever fallen in love with a boy?"

Qi Lin heard very keenly that what Cui Yi cares about is not whether he is in a relationship, but whether he is in a relationship with a boy.

He was a little confused for a while, could it be that his mother, who has always been open-minded, harbored malice and prejudice against homosexuality?

Cold sweat rolled down his back.

"Damn, of course not!" He immediately denied it, but he was not so confident, "I said it was Lao Liu's random thinking. So I was quite surprised to hear that he praised me."

"Okay, I see you scare my son." Qi Wenjiu patted his wife on the shoulder and comforted him: "Your son is sensible, so don't worry."

Qi Lin's heart beat like thunder.

He thought that his parents would disapprove of him dating boys, but he didn't expect Cui Yi's face to be so scary.

This is the first step in his exploration.

He is not sure whether to continue to test.

"Sorry, I was too excited just now." Cui Yi pressed his forehead and forced a laugh, "What fruit does Linlin want to eat? I'll cut it right away."

Qi Lin glanced at the time, it was almost time for Capital Satellite TV to broadcast "Social Focus".

He went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and while Cui Yi and Qi Wenjiao were not paying attention, he switched the channel to Capital Satellite TV.

A march for same-sex marriage rights was held in the capital yesterday, which aroused national attention and must be the headline of today's "Social Focus".

At present, many countries in the world have passed same-sex marriage laws, and many domestic organizations and celebrities are also taking action and actively speaking out. Some experts predict that in five to ten years, my country will also recognize same-sex marriage.

But it also sparked huge controversy, and even revenge—many heterosexuals were extremely hostile to same-sex groups, seeing homosexuality as a crime.

Qi Lin couldn't imagine that if his parents also hated the same-sex group...

There is still a quarter of an hour before the broadcast of "Social Focus". At this time, Capital Satellite TV, like Yuecheng Satellite TV, is broadcasting singing and dancing programs.

Cui Yi brought the fruit to the coffee table, but didn't realize that the channel had changed, and called Qi Lin to eat.

Qi Lin only picked up a banana, "Da Qi's room hasn't been cleaned yet, I'll clean it up for him."

After arriving at Qi Han's room, Qi Lin half closed the door and listened carefully to the movement outside.

According to his original plan, he should be watching "Social Focus" with his parents in the living room at this time, expressing his views on same-sex marriage.

But what happened just now made him not know how to face Cui Yi.

When the opening credits of "Social Focus" came, Qi Lin almost held his breath.

Sure enough, the first topic was yesterday's parade, where the moderator and invited experts objectively analyzed the prospect of same-sex marriage in our country.

"Bangdang-"

The stainless steel bowl fell to the ground, and Qi Lin's heart tightened.

"They still dare to march?" Cui Yi's voice was not loud, but trembling, "How can this expert say that on TV?"

Qi Lin heard that the experts were speaking out for the same-sex group.

Then, the screen cuts to the day of the parade, where the location host interviews a woman in her fifties who is not gay.

"I will accompany my daughter." The woman clenched her fist at the camera, "I support her choice!"

"Crazy!" Cui Yi's voice became sharp and anxious, "What kind of mother is this? She killed her daughter!"

Qi Lin took a deep breath, lowered his body, and hugged his head in disappointment.

He didn't know why Cui Yi became unreasonable and unreasonable, and he didn't know why Cui Yi held such hostility towards homosexuals.

But he knows that his love will not be blessed by his parents.

He tried out the worst results.

Before "Social Focus" was finished, Qi Wenjiu changed the channel, singing and dancing, Qi Lin couldn't hear what his parents said in the living room.

He wanted to calm down and make plans for other things later, but he really couldn't lift his mood.

His trusted mother gave him a blow to the head in an almost crazy state.

At this moment, he really didn't want to go out and face Cui Yi and Qi Wenjiu.

"Buzz-buzz-"

The phone kept vibrating, Qi Lin didn't bother to look at it.

The class group, the small group, and the art group have been chatting in full swing for the past two days. He is not in the mood to have fun at all. He was upset and wanted to turn off the phone when he suddenly saw that it was Ye Zhuohan.

It's his little brother Long.

"What are you doing?" Ye Zhuohan asked.

A clean sentence without any embellishments.

Both Qi Lin and Zou Jiao like to use emoticons. Although they are not as versatile as the girls, they almost always follow a sentence with an emoji.

Ye Zhuohan did not.

Qi Lin lay on the desk, and replied sullenly: "I'm doing cleaning, how about you?"

Ye Zhuohan sent a photo over, it was a physics competition paper, "I'm doing a question."

Qi Lin: "..."

New Year's Eve, you're actually abusing yourself?

Ye Zhuohan: "This question, no."

Qi Lin zoomed in on the picture, thought about it for 5 minutes, and finally realized that Ye Zhuohan was lying to himself, "Impossible, you are kidding me!"

Ye Zhuohan: "Haha!"

Looking at the two "ha", Qi Lin couldn't hold back, and also smiled, and the gloom in his heart dissipated a lot.

To express the action of "laughing", everyone either directly posted an emoji or typed a long series of "ha". Only Ye Zhuohan wrote two "ha" honestly, which is cute and old-fashioned.

"Then let me teach you." Qi Lin said, "At any rate, I am the representative of the physics class."

Ye Zhuohan: "Today?"

Qi Lin couldn't help sighing, "I can't do it today, I have to spend the New Year at home."

Ye Zhuohan: "Oh."

Qi Lin beat fast, "I'll find you when I can go out."

Ye Zhuohan: "Okay (*￣︶￣)"

Qi Lin let out a "poof" laugh.

Don't you know how to use emoticons?But can use emoji?

Ye Zhuohan put down his phone, and next to the test paper he sent to Qi Lin just now was his newly bought "Interesting Kaomoji".

He flipped through it for a long time, but he couldn't understand how interesting those kaomoji composed of punctuation marks were.

Qi Lin was the most interesting, followed by mathematics and physics competition questions, and then painting.

Before sending a message to Qi Lin, he searched for a long time in the book, and chose the one that looked the most kind "(*￣︶￣)".

Let's send it to see Qi Lin's reaction.

Qi Lin didn't respond.

Selection failed.

Ye Zhuohan propped his cheeks, solved the problem for a while, then flipped through "Interesting Kaomoji", and copied several, intending to save them first and send them to Qi Lin later.
