Tender trapping

Zhuo Wenlang turned a blind eye to Ran Xu's gaze, the smile on his face was different from usual, it felt like a different person, ruffian.

Ran Xu thought to himself, what is he singing?Turning his head to look at Xue Xiaoxia, he saw that the woman was already stunned, looking at Zhuo Wenlang with a confused face, and then followed the other's fingers to look at the contract.

Zhuo Wenlang clasped his index finger and tapped on it: "It's only a lot more than what I gave you before."

"What? You gave me that money?!"

Xue Xiaoxia's sharp voice raised a little bit, as if she was arguing, and Ran Xu's heartbeat followed her up and down, that feeling was the thrill of doubt, and the thrill of revenge...

He didn't know if the wording was appropriate, but Xue Xiaoxia had been asking for money on the phone these past few years, and he was going to be numb. There would really be a lot of money in front of Xue Xiaoxia, but the woman's expression turned into "Oh my God!" collapsed".

"You..." She gritted her teeth and looked at Zhuo Wenlang, then stared at Ran Xu angrily.

Ran Xu gradually came to his senses, and understood which play Zhuo Wenlang was singing about - he probably knew that Ran Xu's growth environment was difficult to accept his sexuality, and meeting Xue Xiaoxia face to face this time made him even more convinced. thought in mind.

Therefore, he simply acted out a scene in which a boy from a rich family "forced a good man into prostitution", so that Ran Xu didn't need to explain anything to her, and all the responsibilities were placed on Zhuo Wenlang himself.

"Don't get me wrong, the money was drawn from Xiaoxu's card. I just asked someone to draw up a contract out of my friend's point of view." Zhuo Wenlang said this with a sincere tone, but he didn't mean to treat himself as an outsider.

"What kind of friend are you? We Xiaoxu don't have a friend like you!"

Xue Xiaoxia stood up from the sofa at once, turned her face, and when she was agitated, she spit up and was about to push Zhuo Wenlang out. Seeing this, Ran Xu hurriedly stood between the two of them.

"Mom, calm down."

"Don't call me mom! I don't have a son like you..." Xue Xiaoxia's eyes turned red as she spoke, but she didn't cry in front of outsiders, she just stared at Ran Xu with Not forgiving, "Isn't I just playing cards? Those few yuan, more than ten yuan, don't cost a lot of money. I have spent my whole life around you brothers... Otherwise, otherwise I You've already made a lot of money!"

Ran Xu didn't know how to react, he knew that the gap between him and Xue Xiaoxia was unbridgeable, and he might never be able to make this woman who had spent her whole life in the fields understand "homosexuality", "equality" and Meaning of "independent".

In Xue Xiaoxia's world view, a woman without a man is a widow, and a family without a man is without a pillar, so she caught up with the new trend and learned to get drunk, making the hardships and misery of the rest of her life a matter of course.

Ran Xu sighed, and stood calmly in front of her. Seeing Xue Xiaoxia's chest heaving and falling with emotion, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to help her, but Xue Xiaoxia slapped her on the face.

Zhuo Wenlang immediately squeezed Xue Xiaoxia's wrist when she was about to hit her again, the woman let out a shrill cry, and was about to curse again.

"Xiaoxu go out first, I will talk to your mother alone."

Frowning, Zhuo Wenlang drove Ran Xu out of the room, leaving only him and Xue Xiaoxia in the room.

The door closed with a "bang" behind him, Ran Xu raised his head, and saw a group of people watching in the corridor, their eyes were curious and gloating, they obviously stretched their ears to know what was going on inside, but they wanted to Putting on a fake pose, those who hang clothes dry clothes, and those who hang on the railings of the corridor drink tea.

When the afternoon sun was warm, Ran Xu stood outside the door, but felt cold all over.

He was a little angry, angry that Zhuo Wenlang didn't tell him in advance, and just came out with Xue Xiaoxia... Well, this might not even count as coming out, but it was just a matter of breaking up with Xue Xiaoxia for him.

From Ran Xu's own heart, he doesn't care about giving Xue Xiaoxia 2 yuan a month for the deposit in his bank card, or even more, but he really doesn't want Xue Xiaoxia to gamble anymore. You can stop indulging in the chess and card room and go out more to see the outside world.

Ran Tantai will grow up one day, and her two sons will go to the outside world one day. At that time, Ran Xu hopes that Xue Xiaoxia will not be so lonely, at least let her find that there are many things in life that are worth discovering fun of.

I don't know what happened in the room. Anyway, at the other end of the door with poor sound insulation, there was no quarrel between Zhuo Wenlang and Xue Xiaoxia. After about 10 minutes, Zhuo Wenlang pushed the door and came out with a light smile on his face. With a shallow smile, he nodded to Ran Xu.

The rest of the time was handed over to their mother and son. Xue Xiaoxia hugged Ran Xu and cried loudly. While crying, she told Ran Xu, if that person bullies you, you can go home. What's so good about a big city? Thinking about making money, mom won't gamble in the future, and will give all the money to your brother, so that he can go to the best university.

"I really don't want to gamble anymore? I won't go to those chess and card rooms, okay?" Ran Xu hugged her, seeing a few white hairs on her sideburns, he couldn't hold back his nose sore.

"I'm not going." Xue Xiaoxia cried until her sleeves were soaked.

After school, Ran Tantai ran home on his short legs. When he ran to the door, he saw Ran Xu's figure. He was taken aback for a moment, and then he shouted in surprise: "Brother, brother!"

Taking advantage of Xue Xiaoxia turning her back to wipe tears, Ran Xu hugged Ran Tantai and put the prepared red envelope into his hand. The little boy's eyes lit up instantly, and while shouting "Wow", he did not forget to follow Xue Xiaoxia said: "Mom, there is an uncle standing in front of our house, he..."

"Brother." Ran Xu rolled his eyes, finally showing a little smile on his face.

"Mom, why are you crying!" Ran Tantai yelled again.

Xue Xiaoxia pushed him to the sofa beside him: "Mom didn't cry, did you wash your hands? Clean up and get ready to eat."

Ran Xu watched as the mother and son disappeared into the corridor and headed to the public bathroom on the floor.

Ran Xu looked around in the small room, went out and touched Zhuo Wenlang's hand, smiling: "Just now my brother called you uncle."

"...how about Tong Yan Wuji saying that." Zhuo Wenlang laughed.

The two of them didn't stay at Xue Xiaoxia's place for dinner that day. When they walked through the aisle side by side, they happened to meet Xue Xiaoxia bringing Ran Tantai back. The mother and son didn't know what they were discussing. Ran Tantai looked proud, and Xue Xiaoxia responded beside him: "Great, mom will enroll you in a cram school next semester, study hard, and marry a beautiful wife in the future."

Ran Xu passed them by, and Ran Tantai called his brother after he realized it. After the sound of closing the door, the words "brother" also stopped abruptly.

The setting sun is about to slide into the horizon, and the good and the bad, the sad and the happy, will all become blurred under the cover of night. There are shouts or laughter from various houses in the tube building. Ran Xu knows that Xue Xiaoxia and Ran Tan should be among them. A portion of Thai.

Zhuo Wenlang and him hooked each other's little fingers, but they didn't think it was enough, so they directly held Ran Xu's hand. They rarely held hands, but today their fingers were intertwined.

"Don't envy them." Zhuo Wenlang said with a smile, "We also have a family."
