Yi Shi only stayed for two days before returning to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Grandma flew over by plane with her grandfather on her back and secretly met He Zhao.

Because of her professional work, grandma can understand the relationship between the same sex, but she doesn't understand how her grandson, who has been very popular with girls since he was a child, suddenly said that he likes boys.

Without warning, it was so sudden.

She thought about everything about He Zhao from childhood to adulthood, everything will have traces, she didn't find anything wrong, He Zhao never showed any difference in sexual orientation.

She even thought of He Zhao's playmate in kindergarten, a little girl who had a very good relationship with He Zhao, and He Zhao also said that he would marry her when he grew up.

"Xiao Zhao, tell grandma the truth, do you have a date?" Grandma frowned, "Is it possible that someone will tell you first..."

In her eyes, He Zhao is perfect, well-behaved and sensible, and never does anything out of line.

"No, the one I chased first." He Zhao said.

Grandma was silent for a while, and her eyes were rarely red: "Xiao Zhao, have you thought about it? Falling in love is temporary and cannot last long. People can't be young forever, and people can't keep the same thoughts forever. Relationships can’t last that long. You can’t get married, have children, and have no home. What will you do in the future? You’re only in your 20s, and you’re about to embark on such a road without any guarantee? Even if you can walk Ten years, when you are older, 50 years old, 60 years old, 70 years old, who will take care of you? The older you get, the more you are afraid of loneliness, and you always need the company of your children and grandchildren to be more lively."

Her tone was not reproachful, with some persuasion and some concern.

"Since relationships are largely unreliable, getting married may result in divorce, and having children may not always be satisfactory. The future is full of unknowns." He Zhao said earnestly and gently, "I can't have someone to take care of me just because I'm 70 or [-] years old." , just give up the person you love now, and ignore the present in order to regret it in the future, besides, children don’t exist for the sake of old age.”

"My child, you are still too young, and you think things too naturally and idealistically. People have such a life, and decades will come to an end in a blink of an eye. No one is really inseparable from someone. But this life is too difficult, It's not as easy as you think, two people who have no ties or shackles can't go through this life at all. Things in this world can't be solved by a word of love." Grandma sighed softly and looked at him There were tears of love and kindness in her eyes, but she was used to being strong all her life, and she never let that tear flow down, "You were in poor health when you were young, so I just thought, don't ask for great wealth, just ask my little grandson to be mediocre. An'an, An'an, just spend this life steadily. Grandpa and grandma will leave this world first, your parents will be older than you, and we have no way to stay with you forever. "

She was a typical next-generation relative to He Zhao, had high demands on He Wenyan, and was strict and strict since she was a child, but she wanted to coax and hold He Zhao since she was a child, for fear of being wronged a little.She and He Zhao's grandfather knew each other when they were young, they were in the same family, they admired each other and came together. This life was full of bumps and frictions, but it passed smoothly.Ever loved?It should be favorable, but more suitable.Like many people, she is rational and realistic, not just emotional.She always felt that love would fade away, disappear, and turn into family affection, so it was unreliable anyway.Human nature is always selfish, always seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. He Zhao's grandfather is the most suitable for her in terms of family background, three views, appearance, and personality. The two families are compatible, so that they can be stable for a long time.

In her opinion, He Zhao was too bold.A person's life is always ups and downs, He Zhao's life is too smooth, he has not experienced any major setbacks, so he is so naive, she is worried that life will give him a blow in the head.

He Zhao held her hand, and his tone was still gentle and gentle: "Grandma, if you don't consider gender, he is the most suitable person for me. I hate making choices, you know, I always choose difficult, even choose what flavor I can choose lollipops for a long time, but I met someone who made me not hesitate."

He wanted to describe how good Yi Shi was to his grandma, and it was best to describe it vividly, but he found that he couldn't describe Yi Shi in a few words, so he could only say in the end: "He is really good, I like him very much."

Grandma was silent, and after a while, she asked him: "Even if we are all against it, it won't affect your decision? You have no interest in girls at all? Can't you give it a try?"

Even though grandma might not be able to understand, and there are obvious differences in thinking between the two generations, He Zhao still expresses his thoughts completely: "I don't know if I am born gay, I have never had this kind of behavior towards boys or girls before. feelings. I never want to spend my whole life in such a muddle with a good person. I was like this before I met him. After I met him, I knew more clearly what I wanted. "

After a pause, he said softly: "Grandma, I know that you and grandpa have always cared about me, and I want to be filial to you and grandpa, but I can't force myself to accept what I don't like in order to meet your expectations. life. You always have to live your own life, don’t you? You and grandpa have your own persistence, and I also have my own life.”

"The life you want to live is to break up with your grandfather and be with a man?" Grandma asked.

"Why do I have to choose between you?" He Zhao felt powerless as if his fist was hitting the cotton. He knew that it would be difficult to change a person's inherent thoughts, but he didn't expect that what he said would be completely in vain. He said directly, "He can't be summed up as 'a man' to me. He is very important to me, and I won't break up with him because of your opinions."

Perhaps grandparents will never be able to understand that he is an independent existence, and they are used to intervening in every step of his life as a matter of course.But he doesn't think filial piety means obedience, and he doesn't need his grandparents to agree with every choice he makes.

It is impossible for him to hurt Yi Shi and himself for the sake of so-called filial piety, and live a life that he doesn't want at all.

"What about him? What does he think?" Grandma asked again.

"Grandma, he grew up abroad, almost all his parents and family are abroad, but he is willing to stay in China for me." He Zhao said slowly, "Aside from his family, he is the best person in the world to me."

"Do you have any photos?" Grandma asked after another moment of silence.

He Zhao blinked his eyes, a little unresponsive.

"I want to see what it looks like," said grandma.

In fact, she didn't really accept it completely, she still didn't believe that He Zhao would like a man, but pity prevailed.Just like when she agreed with He Zhao to go with Lin Peiling back then, He Zhao cried and begged her, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only compromise.

She was nervous about this grandson, and aware of He Zhao's determination, she didn't want to stand against him, and she didn't want to have a quarrel with him because of it.

Always take your time.

He Zhao found out the previous photo with Yi Shi, they just stood together without any intimacy.Grandma took out the reading glasses from her handbag and looked at it carefully like she was reading a student's paper. She looked at a picture carefully for a few minutes.

"He looks pretty straight. I heard from your dad that he graduated from T University?" Grandma asked.

"Yes." He Zhao said.

"I used to have a student who is now teaching at T University. I taught him a required course and said that he is a serious and excellent student." Grandma took off her glasses.

Sensing the change in grandma's attitude, He Zhao nodded cautiously: "He is indeed like this."

"I have been a teacher for so long, and people always ask me secretly how to cure the disease of homosexuality. I always explain to people that homosexuality is not a mental illness. But when it happened to you, I was also fooled. If you want to talk about it, talk about it first. The more outsiders It hinders you to be together." Grandma patted the back of his hand and said, "Fortunately, people nowadays are highly educated and accepting, and the situation is getting better and better, unlike before. No matter how bad it is, you still have to You can live abroad."

In the last sentence, the tentative meaning is too obvious.

He Zhao seemed to understand the purpose of grandma's visit, and she could talk about it on the phone, but she came in person.She should have inquired about Yi Shi with He Wenyan or others in advance, in case he would really go abroad with Yi Shi on impulse, so she should give him a reassurance first.

Regardless of whether this acceptance is Grandma's plan to delay the attack, it is always good that she is willing to try to accept it.

He Zhao immediately said, "I don't plan to go abroad to settle down."

"Your grandpa is old-fashioned and stubborn, he can't turn his head around, and he doesn't have such an open mind. Don't blame him. I will persuade him slowly, but it will take time." Grandma seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "You will be with him some other day." Come back, let's have dinner together."

As for who "we" includes, she didn't say, and He Zhao didn't ask either. He nodded and replied, "Okay."

Grandma didn't stay all night, and flew back in the afternoon.

He Zhao had a video with Yi Shi in the evening. Yi Shi had just woken up. After washing up, he put his mobile phone on the side of the dining table and asked He Zhao, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"When will the handsome guy come to my house? My husband has gone abroad and is away for a long time. You can come anytime." He Zhao said deliberately holding his throat.

Yi Shi was toasting bread and scrambling eggs, but because of the sound of "husband" his hand slipped, and the whole raw egg fell to the ground.

He Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Can you please?"

Yi Shi finished disposing of the broken eggs with a paper towel, and said to the camera, "Screw it again."

"You have a good idea." He Zhao said again, "Beauty, my wife has gone abroad, when will you come to my house?"

"In two months." Yi Shi said.

He Zhao shook his head regretfully: "In two months, my concubine's head will be back."

"Are you free today?" Yi Shi said.

"I'm resigning, I'm going to join the public relations company my senior introduced, and I'll join the job next week," He Zhao said.

He mentioned it to Yi Shi, and Yi Shi remembered it, but He Zhao never said that it was introduced by his senior.

"Which brother?" Yi Shi asked.

"I just met after graduation, you probably haven't seen it before," He Zhao raised his voice, "Senior brother is married and the child is one year old, old friend, don't worry."

He Zhao changed his name one by one, and Yi Shi could tell that he was in a good mood.

"My grandma came to see me." He Zhao said suddenly without changing his tone.

Upon hearing this, Yi Shi immediately looked up at the screen and frowned slightly: "Why are you looking for me?"

"She didn't object to us that much," He Zhao said simply, omitting those details, "She also said that next time we go back and have a meal with her."

"Okay." Yi Shi said.

The sky outside the window on He Zhao's side had already darkened, but it was bright morning on Yi Shi's side, so he just watched Yi Shi eating breakfast on the screen.

This kind of scene is too familiar. They went from the seventh floor of Zhuchen Village to the rental house in Beijing to the apartment in Boston. It was their ordinary day.

What future, what life, sounds so long and far-reaching, but it is actually composed of ordinary every day.

He Zhao thought slowly, it was because of the people who walked hand in hand, that day after day, the lackluster days were endowed with different meanings.

Yi Shi is his lover and his partner for the rest of his life.
