Li Qiu hung up the phone and let the wind blow on the street for a while.He didn't want to go home to face Yan An for the time being, and he didn't really want to stay in a hotel, so he simply called Xie Cheng and said he would come to his house later.

After Xie Xingyu and Li Lin left one after another, Xie Cheng returned the rented house.Li Qiu didn't ask any more questions - that place is too close to the hospital, it's full of bad memories, and after staying for a long time, it will be emotional.

Turn around the street where Li Qiu is now, and walk two or three alleys forward, you will see the rental house where Xie Cheng lives.The rent here is very cheap, and it is close to his school.

Xie Cheng was at home, while disgusted with his coming, he was busy adding several side dishes for him.He was curious about Li Qiu's progress today, and asked several questions in a row, but Li Qiu was really tired of responding, so he prevaricated everything.

"I said you are not active at all." Xie Cheng clicked his tongue, "Snack, young master, do you really want to live alone for the rest of your life?"

Li Qiu waved his hands with a headache: "Don't mention this today, okay?"

Xie Cheng glanced at him, before he could speak, Li Qiu's phone rang.He took out his mobile phone to check, it was Yan An.

This is already the fifth call today.

He got up, ignored Xie Cheng Nuoyu's eyes, and said, "I'm going out to answer the phone."

The corridors in the old-fashioned room area are very narrow, and the chandelier is broken, flickering on and off, making it a bit intrusive.Li Qiu answered the phone and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Where are you?"

"Outside."

Yan An was silent for a moment: "When do you come back, the food won't taste good no matter how hot it is."

"I won't be back today." Li Qiu looked at his watch, it was already late at [-]:[-], "you can eat by yourself."

"Brother!" Yan An's eager voice sounded from the phone, "You, are you still with her?"

For a moment, Li Qiu wanted to say yes.However, thinking of Yan An's injured expression, he still couldn't bear to lie: "No."

Yan An breathed a sigh of relief, and asked cautiously, "Brother, are you avoiding me?"

Li Qiu didn't speak.

"Come back. I was wrong, I shouldn't have contradicted you, I shouldn't have said you have a problem." Yan An said with difficulty, "If you want to pretend that none of this happened... that's fine too."

"Xiao An." Li Qiu said, "Let's go eat."

On the other end of the phone, Yan An sat on the sofa, listening to the busy tone from the other end of the phone, and closed his eyes.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qiu felt a little stuck in his heart, he didn't hurry to go back, but stood in the corridor and smoked half a cigarette before pushing open the door.Xie Cheng sat on the stool and looked at him: "Why are you on the phone for so long, it seems that Miss Ren is very interested in you."

Li Qiu raised his foot and kicked: "Broken mouth, did I say it was her?"

Xie Cheng looked at him for a long time before slowly closing his smile: "Lizi, tell me, is there something on your mind?"

Li Qiu was startled, then unnaturally avoided Xie Cheng's gaze: "What can I do."

Xie Chengchang let out a long breath, and when he looked at him again, his eyes were serious: "If you have something on your mind, don't hold it back, I can see it. I can share it with you-don't you believe me?"

Now that we've talked about this, Li Qiu can't hold back any longer.But although Li Qiu was moved, he didn't dare to say such words to Xie Cheng, so he could only sigh and pat him on the shoulder heavily.

Xie Cheng knew that he had something to hide, so he changed the subject and didn't ask any more questions.It's just that in the later conversation, the two of them had each other's concerns, which was not as warm as before.

Xie Cheng's room was small, with only one bed, and the two slept together at night.Li Qiu hadn't experienced such a feeling for a long time, and in addition, he hadn't slept very well for a year, and suddenly there were more people around him, making it even more difficult to fall asleep.He opened his eyes and let himself go, thinking that the last time he slept with Xie Cheng under a quilt was many years ago. At that time, Yan An was still a kidnapped child, pitifully thin and dirty.And Li Qiu is just a punk, he doesn't know what the future holds yet, the only thing that bothers him is the past of the older generation.

However, back then, when he and Xie Cheng were lying together, the big troubles were only for a moment. It seemed that as long as the two of them helped each other and moved forward together, they could break into a bright future.

After many years, the fathers left, and the thin child grew into an adult, leaving a strong mark in his life.However, he and Xie Cheng never realized their youthful wishes, and gave up the fantasy of being as free and unrestrained as knights in the oppression of reality... They still became one of the mortal beings, the most ordinary ordinary people.

All the facts run counter to the dreams constructed when I was young.Li Qiu suddenly realized that the carefree and flamboyant youth time between him and Xie Cheng had finally passed.At a fork in the road, they each chose their own way, and they can never go back.

Li Qiu was lying quietly, when he suddenly heard Xie Cheng's sigh.

----

Unable to sleep soundly all night, Li Qiu woke up just after dawn.He got up together, and Xie Cheng also sat up.Both of them were supposed to be deep sleepers, but at this moment they also maintained the same pace of change.

After washing up and having breakfast, Li Qiu went to Xie Cheng School's playground to run a few laps with him, and played basketball with a few students for a few hours, barely killing the whole morning.

Finally, in the afternoon, Li Qiu bid farewell to Xie Cheng, and went to the psychological institution by the same route.The door was open, Li Qiu walked to the front desk and showed the appointment text message from Lan Tuo, and was led to the door of a consulting room.

He knocked on the door, and a low, pleasant voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Li Qiu pushed the door open and entered. Inside the house was a room with simple furnishings, the wallpaper was a very relaxing light green.Sitting on the sofa was a man with a high nose and thin lips, gentle eyebrows and eyes, wearing a pair of framed glasses, looking very refined.

Seeing Li Qiu push the door in, he stood up and stretched out his hands to Li Qiu: "Hi, Mr. Li, I'm Blue."

Li Qiu clasped back: "Hi, I'm Li Qiu."

It has to be said that Lan Tuo is a highly professional psychological counselor, he did not rush to get to the point with Li Qiu, but drew closer to him in a seemingly casual conversation.Whether it's speech or body language, the blues are impeccable.That kind of politeness cannot be learned by short-term imitation, it is more like a kind of temperament that he was born with.Such a person is very friendly and can make people communicate with him without guarding against them.

The voice of the blues is a little low, slowly, like a stream of still water flowing deep.While talking with him, Li Qiu felt that his originally anxious heart calmed down a little.After a brief exchange with Lan Tuo, Li Qiu tried to tell him about Yan An - of course, he withdrew the key point, and only told Lan Tuo that he was very distressed about how to let a junior who fell in love with the same sex dispel this abnormal feeling. idea.

After listening to it with a smile, Lan Tuo was silent for a while, and asked Li Qiu: "Then what do you think? Are you dissatisfied with the same sex he likes, or is it about his sexual orientation?"

Li Qiu thought for a while: "There are all of them."

"Can you be more specific, such as the reason for your dissatisfaction?"

But Li Qiu couldn't tell why.He sighed, leaned back on the sofa, clenched his hands unconsciously, and gritted his teeth: "Homosexuality is not normal... Do you know how many strange eyes they have to face when they walk on the street? Pointing fingers behind his back, making it harder to get approval for anything than anyone else, just because he's gay."

Blue tune adjusted his glasses and looked at his guest.Li Qiu was younger and more handsome than he imagined, very much like someone he had seen before.At the moment this handsome young man, his client, is troubled by this matter.Lan Tiao thought for a while, and the extremely high professionalism allowed him to temporarily put aside his personal emotions and guide rationally: "Maybe your concern is more about the society's perception of them, and what about you, do you have any thoughts on homosexuality?"

"I don't know." Li Qiu said, "But, this is abnormal. He won't and shouldn't be... Forget it, I'm just not satisfied with his sexuality, he should live a normal life , let’s live a good life but insist on going this way, it’s not a disease or something.”

"You're in a hurry." Lan Tuo poured him a cup of tea, "Take your time and face your heart directly. I can feel the importance you attach to this junior, and I can understand your kindness. But what is normal, no What is normal, and how do you define the standard of abnormality? ——It’s nothing more than being different from ordinary people. However, is it true that only the majority of people are in the right position?”

"Before we always regarded homosexuality as a disease, but with the development of society and the progress of the times, homosexuality has been removed from mental illness. And change. Speaking of sexual orientation, some people are born this way, and some people just like this person who is of the same sex as him. Based on the current situation alone, it is difficult to determine which kind of situation he is."

"And no matter which one it is, I think that there is no need to deliberately demand what he should be like." Blues said softly, "I believe you love him too, but love is respect, and it does not violate In the case of law and morality, what the elders should give them is freedom, isn't it?"

"Yes, he is free, but does it have to be so difficult?" Li Qiu asked, "As an elder, shouldn't you help him when he goes astray?"

Blue tune observed his clenched hands and trembling voice, and smiled: "So, this is the root of the conflict between parents and children - most parents just weigh the pros and cons from their own perspective, in fact, very Few people let their children make their own choices. Your original intention is to let him live a better and happier life, but if you force him to change his sexual orientation and take the 'normal path', will he be able to be happy?"

Li Qiu trembled, and immediately recalled Yan An's words in his mind.He said he was narrow-minded, and he was.He really only considered the issue from his own point of view and failed to respect Yan An. Is this really what Yan An wanted?
