The moment the voice fell, the entire living room fell into a deathly silence.

Father Xia's expression was fixed on his face, he stared wide-eyed, opened his mouth unconsciously, as if he regained control of his body after a while, blushed, raised his hand, like an irritated old man Lion, madly, kept pointing at Xia Yu.

He looked at Xia Yu in disbelief: "Do you know what you're talking about?!"

Xia Yu's expression remained unchanged: "I know, I'm sober."

He raised his head slightly while speaking, and said softly: "Why, can't you say it?"

Xia Yu really knows how to anger her father.

His father was extremely, extremely concerned about his authority over himself.No matter what he says, I can only listen to him, and I have to talk, I have to nod obediently, and I can’t say anything else. Saying anything else is tantamount to refuting and talking back, even if he is right and his father is wrong, "I am As soon as the words "your dad" were pressed down, he could only shut his mouth and bow his head to scold.

So he didn't need to say anything at all, as long as his tone was light and his attitude was a little loose, he could make this old-fashioned and corrupt old man furious.

Adding the word "Xia Zhao", the attack power increased tenfold in an instant!

Xia Yu looked at that flushed face and the way he was panting for breath, and thought that he would probably get a slap later.

Should I take it hard, or not?

If he escaped, his father would probably explode with anger, and his heart and lungs are not very good...

Sure enough, just as he thought, in the next second, a palm wind full of anger blew over!

Xia Yu leaned back nimbly, avoiding the slap, then supported the sofa with one hand, stood up and backed away under her father's shocked gaze, her expression didn't change the whole time.

What does his heart and lungs have to do with him?

"You! You!" After the shock, Father Xia's anger soared, his lips trembled, and he couldn't believe that the actions just now were done by his obedient son!

"What did I say and you want to hit me? As a younger brother, I asked if there is any problem with my brother's affairs?"

Xia Yu stood up straight and said calmly, "Dad, you treat me the way you treated Xia Zhao, are you really not afraid that I will become the second Xia Zhao? Have you really never reflected on your behavior at all? "

"Why should I reflect?! Am I wrong? Ah?!"

As if being poked against the scales, Father Xia raised his eyebrows strongly in response, walked up to Xia Yu angrily and roared, "Is it my fault if I let him do the right thing? I let him marry a wife and have children." Is it wrong? He did a big mistake and I didn’t ignore him, but tried my best to bring him on the right track. Am I wrong?! What’s wrong with me! Why should I reflect when I’m not wrong?!”

His voice became louder and louder, and veins popped up on his forehead. He poked Xia Yu's chest vigorously while talking: "You still want to use your brother to threaten me? What, did I feel sorry for you? I will pay for you." Eat for you to wear, now your wings are stiff and you are threatening your father, right?"

"Xia Yu, I'll tell you!"

"You old man, I never did anything wrong!"

"I am worthy of heaven and earth and worthy of all of you!"

Xia Yu couldn't maintain his previous composure anymore, he felt a very absurd feeling.

He stared at his righteous father in a daze, and said in surprise, "You forced Xia Zhao to commit suicide. Do you still think that you have done nothing wrong even after he committed suicide? Are you really not guilty at all?"

"Guilty?"

Father Xia was furious, and pointed at Xia Yu's nose, "If I felt guilty, I wouldn't have given birth to you with your mother!"

Xia Yu stood there in a daze without saying a word.

Father Xia leaned closer again, looking into Xia Yu's eyes: "Let me tell you, Xia Yu, people should do the right thing in this world, don't talk to me about nature and other messy things! The reason why people are higher animals It’s because you can restrain your nature! And the most important thing for a man is responsibility! It’s as big as the country, as small as the family, what is the nature in front of these things?!”

"Let me tell you, I don't let his name be mentioned in my family because I don't feel guilty or regret, it's because I get angry every time I mention him!"

"He is the failure of my Xia Yuanhang's life, and the shame of our Xia family!"

"As long as I think that the son I have worked so hard to bring up turns out to be a person who only cares about himself and ignores others, who is useless to the country and irresponsible to the family, I feel embarrassed!"

"My face hurts just thinking about him!"

Xia Yu stared blankly at his father, feeling as if he had been hit in the back of the head.

All previous cognitions were overturned at this moment.

He thought his father was guilty, because he was guilty, so he didn't want to mention it, and he didn't want to uncover the scar again.

He also thought that his father regretted it, otherwise how could he be so kind to Xia Yi?So pleasant?He even always thought that his father was trying to make up for Xia Zhao by being nice to Xia Yi in a disguised form.

He also guessed why he was born. He knew that his parents must have thought of raising a younger son after the older son was abandoned. He knew it, but it didn't matter. The general environment is different from now, and he can understand their thoughts.

He can even understand that his father didn't let him play with boys since he was a child, and he kept urging him to find a girlfriend when he grew up.

He thought that they treated him like this because Xia Zhao's death made them afraid, afraid that he would also be gay, and afraid that he would also go down a difficult and tragic path like Xia Zhao, so he started to treat him when he was very young. Be on your guard.

He thought that all the "defenses" were rooted in love and protection, even though the method was uncomfortable, he still endured it.

But he didn't know until now that it was not what he thought.

It's not what he thought!

Xia Yu swallowed, feeling that everything in front of her was extremely absurd.

His throat was dry, and his voice was a little hoarse: "My brother just likes the same sex. It's not a heinous thing. As for that?"

Xia Zhao's parents didn't explicitly mention Xia Zhao's homosexuality, but their actions and attitudes were so obvious that it was obvious at a glance.

In addition, Xia Yu saw the signature and handwriting of another man in the book left by Xia Zhao, and the basketball with Kobe's signature on the attic, obviously not something Xia Zhao would like, it should be bought by him as a gift, It just never made it out.

Xia Yu felt that except for Xia Yi, everyone in their family should be well aware of Xia Zhao's sexual orientation.

I just didn't want to affect my current life, so I didn't mention it tacitly.

Sure enough, after he said it, his father was not surprised at all. It seemed that he had already known about Xia Zhao's sexual orientation.

Looking at his frightened son, Father Xia suddenly let out a long sigh.

He put his hands on Xia Yu's shoulders, the anger on his face eased a lot, his voice was not as loud as before, and he even said earnestly: "It doesn't matter if a big mistake or a small mistake, it's a mistake. But mistakes can be corrected. I have persuaded him so many times, and pointed him to so many correct paths, but he just can't figure it out, and he can't change his mind. I didn't force him, but he himself forced himself to death!"

"I'm also doing it for your own good. At your age, it's almost time to talk to someone and get married. I'll help you make all the arrangements and you don't have to worry about it."

"Your father and I are also old, with a bad heart, bad lungs, and a bunch of problems with high blood pressure and fatty liver. He might die at any time. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid I didn't kill you. Teach you, I'm afraid you'll do something wrong!"

"I don't have any other requirements for you. Do you think I force you to study? Do I force you to take exams and participate in competitions? Your father and I were able to compete with each other at home and abroad, and now we have climbed up a little bit. Yes, but I didn't force you to do anything, I wouldn't even say anything about you becoming a clerk after graduation, these things are all human-made, there is no right or wrong."

Xia Yu looked at his father dumbly: "Everything is right, but homosexuality is a big mistake, isn't it?"

"Yes!" Father Xia nodded without hesitation.

Xia Yu nodded: "Okay, I understand."

He breathed out, the shock in his heart was buried, and his expression returned to his previous indifference.

Xia Yu suddenly called out: "Dad."

"how?"

"What if I'm gay too?"

Before his father could speak, Xia Yu continued, "In this way, I am gay, and my brother is also gay. What about you? Are you? Don't everyone say that homosexuality is hereditary? Then who is the hereditary of the two of us?" What? You? Or Mom?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his neck was grabbed!

Xia Yu frowned, but did not struggle.

Father Xia pinched Xia Yu's neck, suppressed his anger and leaned in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten what I taught you since childhood? Have you heard what I just said for nothing?"

He paused word by word, "One must do the right thing! Do you understand?!"

"So you're gay too?"

Xia Yu laughed, "Does Mom know?"

"What's your attitude?!"

Xia's father stopped pinching Xia Yu's neck, and instead tightened his grip on his collar, "Don't try to provoke me with these words! In our time, it was the words of the matchmaker ordered by our parents. What do you love or not love when two people are together?" , Many people know who they are marrying only after they take off their hijabs. The most important thing is to be responsible to the other party and to the family! What is homosexuality? Irresponsible! It's too comfortable!"

Xia Yu looked at his father in front of him, and the breath he held in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he didn't want to argue at all.

Not interesting.

It's boring.

He glanced at the kitchen again from the corner of his eye, but there was no movement at all.

It's even more boring.

Unexpectedly, it made him want to light up the gas and let everyone die together.

Ah, no.

Hold back.Hold back.

There are sister-in-law and Xia Yi upstairs, they are innocent.

Xia Yu took a deep breath gently, and while thinking about it, she broke away from her father's hand.

His wrist is slender, but his strength is not small. After all, he learned calligraphy in elementary school, and his wrist strength has been exercised since he was very young.

Ok?

Did it break apart so easily?

Xia Yu squeezed her father's wrist, feeling a little dazed.

When he watched TV when he was a child, he always wondered if his father practiced iron sand palms. Although he looks tall and thin and gentle, it hurts very much when he hits someone with his hands. A single tap on his forehead with his fingers can swell for two days. Even in winter, he can open his ass through thick pants.

But now it looks like that's it.

He is old and weak.

And I was already taller than him, and stronger than him.

He is just a stubborn old man whose thinking still lives in the 70s and [-]s.

Just an ignorant and pedantic old man.

like……

It's not as majestic as it used to be, and it's not as scary as it used to be.

Xia Yu shook off her father's hand, said nothing, just turned around and staggered towards the outside.

His legs were twitching and stinging, but he didn't change his face, and walked straight out.

Father Xia frowned and looked at him: "Where are you going?"

Xia Yu didn't say a word, and walked out with her head sullen.

He was not wearing a shoe on his right foot because of the ice compress, and when he reached the door, he stopped and threw off the other slipper.

"Yu'er, where are you going so early in the morning?"

Mother Xia came out of the kitchen, "I've already made breakfast, let's all sit down and eat something."

"Don't eat." Xia Yu opened the door.

Mother Xia looked at her husband in the living room hesitantly, then at her son who had already walked out, and finally stood still and shouted at Xia Yu's back: "Why are you going out?"

Xia Yu turned her head, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Do something wrong."
