Shelf life love

Cui Yi's sudden appearance caught Qi Lin by surprise.After the initial strong fear, the anger of being peeped gradually emerged——

Why did Cui Yi come back at this time?Why not say it in advance?Is it to secretly inquire about his friendship?

On the way home, I was silent all the way.

In early summer, it gets dark late, the tall buildings are outlined in red and gold, and the hot pot restaurants on the side of the road are bustling with people. Many people are queuing up and nibbling on the melon seeds provided by the merchants.

Qi Lin clenched his fist subconsciously.

Today was the happiest day recently, Ye Zhuohan finally finished the exam, he brought water and chocolate to pick up Ye Zhuohan, and skipped class for Ye Zhuohan.

No matter what he proposed, Ye Zhuohan smiled and said "yes".

Ye Zhuohan also dyed his hair, which was shining golden under the gorgeous lights of the barber shop, like a beautiful little prince.

But his own mother ruined it all.

He remembered very clearly that the look Cui Yi looked at him was full of disbelief, surprise, shock, and even a hint of disgust.

Cui Yi saw through him in an instant, knowing that he liked a boy, knowing that he was gay!

"Didn't you say that you have nothing to do with him?" Cui Yi turned on the light in the living room, looked at her son, her voice trembling slightly.

Her expression was different from when she was in the barber shop. She was no longer grim and stiff, and seemed to have finally calmed down.

Qi Lin even saw grievances, prayers, and hopes in it.

His mother begged him with a glimmer of hope.

Please he is not a gay.

"I..." Qi Lin felt something stuck in his throat.

He likes Ye Zhuohan, and he can see that Ye Zhuohan cares about him too, but until now, their relationship is actually just friends, he can do what Cui Yi wants, saying that I am not gay, and Ye Zhuohan and I are not As you might imagine.

But will Cui Yi believe it?

Only now did Qi Lin realize that he didn't know the woman who gave birth to him at all.He only saw Cui Yi's kind and open-minded side, but just now he found strong hatred on Cui Yi's face.

"Say it!" After waiting for a long time for the answer she wanted to hear, Cui Yi suddenly became excited again.She walked towards Qi Lin and reached out to grab Qi Lin's shoulder.

Qi Lin dodges abruptly.

Cui Yi stared blankly at the grasping hand, and let out a piercing scream.

Qi Lin trembled all over, and blurted out: "Mom, where are you thinking?"

This sound seemed to make Cui Yi see hope, "Tell Mom well, tell Mom well, why are you and him together? You...you never skip class!"

Qi Lin forced himself to calm down, his Adam's apple couldn't keep rolling.

Where did you think of?Yes, he hasn't confessed to Ye Zhuohan yet, they are just ordinary friends now, no matter who Cui Yi asks, they won't get other answers!

Today he just skipped class with his friends, which is too normal, he is not a student in the science experiment class, who in their class has not skipped class?

He needn't panic at all!The most urgent task is to appease Cui Yi.As long as he bites him to death and refuses to admit it, Cui Yi can't do anything to him!

Things are far from the most unmanageable.

The final exam will be in one month. After the summer vacation, he will go to the capital to take the art exam. The third year of high school will pass quickly.When he is an adult, when he is admitted to university, he won't have to be so trembling anymore.

Qi Lin took a deep breath, suppressing the rising fear again and again, "Xiaolong came to our school to participate in the physics competition. I haven't seen him for a long time. I have a physical education class and a self-study class in the afternoon. I don't have cultural classes, so I asked him to go with him." Go to dinner and get a haircut to celebrate."

Cui Yi was far from being persuaded, "Really?"

"Why am I lying to you?" Qi Lin said bravely, "And I owe him a lot of favors. He is good at mathematics and physics. My score in these two subjects depends on him. I have long wanted to invite him to this meal." Yeah, never had a chance."

Cui Yi is older than the parents of most of Qi Lin's classmates. He usually smiles gently and doesn't show his age very much, but now he is showing his aging due to fear and anger.

"Linlin, tell mom the truth, did you deliberately test me and your dad during the Spring Festival?"

General Qi Lin stabilized himself, but cold sweat rolled down his forehead, "What are you talking about? Why should I test you?"

Cui Yi's pupils constricted, as if raving, "Because you like boys."

"Mom!" Qi Lin could only raise his voice, as if this would give him more confidence.

But the confidence is all fake, Cui Yi is right, he just likes boys, he is just testing!

"I tuned the TV. I was watching the song and dance rerun of Yuecheng Satellite TV." Cui Yi stared at him. "Later, I was tuned to Capital Satellite TV. Your dad never touches the remote control, only you, only you can tune the channel." .Linlin, you want us to watch the gay parade, don't you?"

Qi Lin was extremely surprised, he didn't expect Cui Yi to be so sensitive.

He clenched his back molars, knowing that even if it was useless to say anything, he still couldn't admit it.

"You really think too much. I don't even remember that I tuned the channel, maybe I just clicked it?" Qi Lin said, "I assure you, it wasn't a temptation, and I didn't like boys. Do you think I like Xiaolong? How is that possible? He's just my friend."

At some point, Cui Yi already had tears on her face.

Seeing those tearful eyes, Qi Lin felt mixed feelings.

In any case, Cui Yi was the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and before this incident, Cui Yi was an impeccable mother.

Guilt filled his chest, and he couldn't help but soften his heart.

"Linlin, come here." Cui Yi beckoned, "Sit with mom for a while."

Qi Lin walked over and sat on the sofa.

"I'm sorry, it's mom who was too excited." Cui Yi's voice fluttered, "Mom may have wronged you, please forgive mom."

Qi Lin felt empty, Cui Yi didn't blame him, it was he who was deceiving Cui Yi.

"I came back this time and didn't tell you in advance because I was very disturbed." Cui Yi said and trembled again. "I'm afraid you are gay. I want to see who you are dating. Seeing you Skipping class with that male classmate, I... I was frightened. I said something that hurt you in a hurry. "

Qi Lin couldn't help asking: "Afraid?"

Cui Yi began to speak incoherently, "Linlin, you have been a good boy since you were a child, you must not go astray and hurt your mother..."

"Mom." Qi Lin patted Cui Yi's back lightly, his tone softened, "How could I hurt you?"

Cui Yi turned her face away, "Homosexuals are perverts! Mom has been hurt once, you must not be like those people!"

Suspicion resurfaced in Qi Lin's heart, "What harm? Mom, what are you talking about?"

Cui Yi was unwilling to continue talking, stood up blankly, and walked to the bathroom.

Soon, Qi Lin heard suppressed crying coming from inside.

Ye Zhuohan stood in the barber shop for a long time, staring at the direction Qi Lin left without blinking.

Jenny called him several times, but he didn't hear him.

The redness on the back of the hand spread, like oozing blood.

A rough pain suddenly came from a place in his chest. This pain was too strange, not unbearable, but it made him feel sad like never before.

He didn't understand where the pain came from.His emotional world is so poor that there is only room for another Qi Lin, and now Qi Lin makes him sad.

But Qi Lin just opened his hand, said to him "I'll go back first", and left him where he was.

"I..." He lowered his head helplessly, looking at the back of his hand,

The sadness he felt while sitting on the stone by the river that day came back, but it was countless times stronger. For the first time, he discovered that he would have such vivid emotions.

"You look very ugly." Jenny had seen all kinds of guests, and was also frightened by Ye Zhuohan's appearance at this time, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Come and sit down first."

Ye Zhuohan shook his head, and after paying the money, he left the barber room like a wandering soul.

The commercial center is brightly lit, and the night is like day.He has no purpose, his mind is empty.

strangeness.

He found a place to sit down, propped his forehead with one hand, and thought intermittently, he didn't think about anything before, but the emptiness was completely different from the emptiness now.

Like something had been gouged away, leaving a white shard so bright it hurt his eyes.

"Who's that guy? The blonde!"

"He's so handsome, he can hold even this golden color!"

"Isn't it a star? Is there any variety show here tonight?"

"But why does he look so sad?"

The young passers-by talked a lot, but the voice of Ye Zhuohan's voice seemed vague in his ears. He looked at the bright lights and suddenly remembered the unfinished painting.

The veil, the veil of the Milky Way.

Seeming to regain strength all of a sudden, he stood up and walked faster and faster.

All the lights in the tool room were turned on, Ye Zhuohan was holding the paintbrush, and he didn't have time to change his clothes when he went out, and some paint was stained on the fabric.

Last time, between him and his classmates, Qi Lin chose his classmates.

This time, Qi Lin chose his mother.

To Qi Lin, he was still the secondary one, and Qi Lin didn't like him.

But he...

He wants Qi Lin to like him!

The paintbrush stopped suddenly, and the eyelashes trembled under the strong emotion.

He used to just hope that Qi Lin would find him interesting, but now he wants Qi Lin to like him!

Qi Lin likes the starry sky, when looking at the stars, Qi Lin always smiles.

Qi Lin also said that the Milky Way is like a veil, romantic, shining, and eternal.

Then if he paints this picture well, Qi Lin will love Wu and Wu, do you like him a bit?

The red marks on the back of the hand have faded, but the pain is still there.Qi Lin didn't choose him twice, so he sent the painting to Qi Lin. Will Qi Lin choose him the third time?

Qi Lin helped Cui Yi out of the bathroom, Cui Yi's face was full of tears, his words didn't make sense.After Qi Lin settled her down, he was exhausted physically and mentally. He checked his phone, but there was no call or message from Ye Zhuohan.

He was very confused, he was worried about Cui Yi and Ye Zhuohan, after thinking about it, he still sent a text message to Ye Zhuohan: "Have you gone home?"

Ye Zhuohan never replied.

Qi Lin sighed, planning to stabilize Cui Yi first.

In the middle of the night, Cui Yi quietly pushed open the door of Qi Lin's room, and took away the cell phone on the table.

On the balcony, the light from the mobile phone reflected on her face, eerie and eerie.

Her hands were trembling, and she saw countless photos of Ye Zhuohan in the photo album, as well as screenshots of chats - Qi Lin often snapped photos of Ye Zhuohan and never deleted them, and the screenshots were the emojis sent by Ye Zhuohan.

There was a hoarse sound in her throat, her voice was like a mantra, "lie to me, lie to me..."

At this moment, the phone vibrated suddenly.

Cui Yi trembled and almost dropped the phone.

The account with the note "Xiaolongge" sent a message, and she clicked in tremblingly.

There is still an hour, and it will be dawn. Ye Zhuohan painted all night, and he didn't even notice Qi Lin's "Have you gone home?"

Finally, the veil composed of bright stars was finished.

He admired it alone for a long time until there was nothing to change.

It is very similar to the Milky Way seen in the star-flooded flat last summer.

Qi Lin said that in the future, he will design a starry sky wedding dress, and let him wear it. Now he has designed the veil first, and it happens to be a pair.

Will Qi Lin like it?Will you love the house and the bird?

He imported the painting into his phone and sent it to Qi Lin.

"Galaxy veil, match your wedding dress. Does it look good?"
