Chestnuts are ripe

"So what did he tell you?" Until standing at the gate of Jiaojiao's school, Chen Yuan still asked Chen Fang who was always clenching her teeth, but refused to let go.

Last night, Chen Fang, who had promised to go home early, didn't show up at the door until almost 9 o'clock.When Chen Yuan opened the door, she was startled when she saw his face blushing unnaturally, thinking that he had a fever again, she reached out to touch his forehead, but he subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

Chen Yuan stared blankly at the extra paper bag in his hand, which contained a brown-red graduation certificate, which made her instantly enlightened: "Have you gone to see Xue Lin?"

After realizing the dew trap, Chen Fang cherished words like gold to Chen Yuan's repeated questioning, but refused to utter a single word.

So this tug-of-war has continued from last night until now.

In fact, Chen Fang himself was very confused.

If we say that before yesterday, he was still single-minded, trying to find a way to restrain those self-righteous and whimsical emotions in his heart.But after last night, all the suppressed emotions seemed to have finally been allowed to overflow, and they vented recklessly in their hearts, hitting the low-level dam again and again.

It seems that just a little bit, this line of defense will be completely overwhelmed.

Jiaojiao's coming-of-age ceremony is over, and the three brothers and sisters can finally get together to have a good meal.But Chen Yuan had already made up her mind to lure Chen Shanjiao, who didn't know why, to her camp, and vowed that she would never let Chen Fang touch her chopsticks until she found out what happened to Chen Fang last night.

Although the expression on Chen Shanjiao's face did not change, the unstoppable excitement in her eyes revealed how curious she was.

Unable to bear the cross-examination of the two younger sisters, Chen Fang had no choice but to briefly talk about what happened last night.

"So, you came back just like that!!!!?" Chen Yuan finally couldn't hold back her inner voice when she heard the last word, and interrupted him with a face full of disbelief.

"Didn't you call and tell me to go back early? I still have to take the train this morning..." Chen Fang's voice became smaller and smaller, and he almost buried his head in the table.

"Then how do I know what was going on with you?!"

Chen Yuan took a few deep breaths to adjust her heart rate. Now, she began to sincerely admire that man named Xue Lin: she was able to be so patient, and let Chen Fang's temperament keep tossing with him over and over again.

"I didn't say anything dead..." Chen Fang muttered, "I just said, I need to think about it, and he agreed..."

Chen Shanjiao, who didn't know the complete cause and effect, now roughly understood the situation in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother, since you like her, why don't you date her?"

Chen Fang was surprised by the calm tone of his sister's questioning, and then realized that Jiaojiao seemed to be unaware that Xue Lin was a man.

He was a little uncertain whether to explain the situation to Jiaojiao... He was worried that she was in her third year of high school, and he was afraid of affecting her mood, and worried that if she didn't tell her now, she would accidentally show her feet and be discovered later, and the result would definitely be worse.

After comparing the two situations, Chen Fang hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and told the truth: "Jiaojiao, the person I like... is a man."

Chen Fangben was still worried that his sudden coming out of the closet would have an impact on Jiaojiao's three views who had never been exposed to these things. After speaking, he looked at Chen Shanjiao very nervously, for fear that she would show a slight expression of disgust and contempt on her face.

"Ah," Chen Shanjiao was just slightly taken aback, "Is that so."

She paused, and asked in a natural tone: "Then he treats you well?"

When she asked questions, her emotional tone didn't fluctuate at all, as if this was a very common thing.Chen Fang was caught off guard, and he nodded before he realized it consciously.

"Then why didn't you agree to him?" Chen Shanjiao asked doubtfully, frowning.

"That's right, why?" With allies on the same front, Chen Yuan watched the excitement from the sidelines and fanned the flames without thinking about it.

Chen Fang, who was facing an enemy because he was about to come out to his little sister, only felt that he was tense and tense just now, and was just brushed off by her two questions lightly, and suddenly realized that his own sexuality was different. The whole family seemed to be unresponsive from beginning to end.

"You... don't you think it's strange?" Chen Fang couldn't help but asked.

"You didn't agree because you estimated me, did you?" Chen Shanjiao frowned, completely incomprehensible, "Why do you care about my opinion? It doesn't matter whether your partner is a man or a woman, that's all It's your own business, as long as you like it."

Chen Shanjiao stirred the undissolved ice cubes in the glass with a straw, and said, "Brother, you are already very tired. I know that after your parents left, you wanted to do your best to support everything. But you can't just live around other people forever, you should have your own life, your own partner, your own family. You have worked hard enough. Don't always think that you can carry everything, okay ?”

"I am your younger sister. I hope you can live happily, and I also hope that someone can treat you well, no matter if he is a boy or a girl." Chen Shanjiao has always been a sensible and precocious child, she knows this paragraph How difficult it was for Chen Fang to pass the time.

She herself can take advantage of her young age and play with her temper occasionally, but what about Chen Fang?Who can come to comfort him?

"Brother," Chen Shanjiao looked at his silly brother and said very seriously, "You really can be a little selfish."

After the accident happened suddenly at home, Chen Fang dealt with these messy things by himself, and he habitually stopped relying on anyone.He felt that no matter how difficult the difficulties were, as long as he was determined, he would always be able to overcome them.Blind self-confidence made him carry on even when encountering things, until all the pressure accumulated to the critical value, and he completely collapsed.

Being poked into something unspeakable, Chen Fang was like a shell that had finally been pried open, exposing the soft mussel meat that was most vulnerable to injury under the protection of layers of hard shells.His eyes were slightly sour, and Chen Yuan beside him couldn't help but put her hand on his shoulder to let Chen Fang know that he was not alone.

"So, you don't have to worry so much." Chen Shanjiao said.

The waves surging in my heart are getting higher and higher, it seems that if I work harder, I can really overcome that line of defense.But the dike is still standing, motionless.

"There is such a big difference between me and him," Chen Fang was still worried, "What if..."

Chen Shanjiao couldn't stand his whirling character, even if this person was her own brother, she still couldn't help but want to frown: "Why are you so persistent, you must think about things that haven't happened in the future? ?”

"If you like it, let's try it together, won't you?"

"But if it's just the impulse of the two of you, what should we do if we break up after the love has passed?" Chen Yuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly asked.

The impulse caused by hormones is only temporary after all.There are many couples who fell in love at the beginning and parted ways in the end.Together, where is it that both parties just nod and agree?

"Then wait until you don't like it and talk about it when we break up." Jiaojiao is not surprised that Chen Yuan will ask such a question, "Could it be that because of fear of losing, you don't even have the courage to try to start?"

"There is no such thing as infallible in this world, let alone feelings?" Chen Shanjiao was a bystander, looking at the two people in front of him who like to worry about things and are timid, and sighed, "No one knows what will happen tomorrow. It will be the end of the world, why don't you pay attention to the present, but must worry about something that may or may not happen three years later, five years later, ten years later?"

"Having once or having nothing, which one do you think is better?"

Just after the lunch break, Xu Yan gently knocked on Xue Lin's office.

When Xue Lin looked up at him, his eyes were very clear, not at all hazy as he just woke up from a nap.

Well, it's completely different from the lifeless state of the previous two days.Xu Yan thought about the information he had found in his hands, and couldn't be sure whether this was good news for Mr. Xue.

"Mr. Xue, you asked me to pay attention to the house in that community before. I went to see it, and found something." Xu Yan handed the materials to Xue Lin, and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Chen Fang is renting a house now. His original owner has already planned to sell that house." Xu Yan watched Mr. Xue take the information and turned to the second page, and then said, "But because it is an old house, the asking price is a bit high, so I don't want to sell it." It’s just on hold, I’ve inquired about it, but it hasn’t been sold yet.”

When Xue Lin heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, he looked up at Xu Yan and said, "Go and help me buy this house, and then continue to rent it to him."

Xu Yan's head was full of black question marks, and he almost suspected that Mr. Xue was not looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Chen Fang, so as to drive him out of the house. He said hesitantly: "But Mr. Chen Fang, have you seen me..."

seen?Xue Lin frowned, thinking of that tour.

But such a private matter cannot be handed over to anyone casually... Xue Lin was a little distressed, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he sent Xu Yan to go through the formalities of buying a house, and after he went out, he turned around and called his mother Telephone.

"Hey, Mom," Xue Lin smiled softly into the phone, "Do you want to see what your future son-in-law looks like?"

In the evening, Chen Fang and Chen Yuan had just opened the door when Xue Lin called.

The phone rang a few times, and Chen Fang coughed a few times under Chen Yuan's meaningful gaze before answering the phone: "...Hello?"

"I thought you were afraid to answer the phone again?"

"No dare..." Hearing Xue Lin's low laughter from the other end of the phone, Chen Fang felt a little hot for no reason.

"You said yesterday, you have to think about it, right?"

"I, I haven't..."

"It doesn't matter, you think about it slowly, don't worry." Xue Lin's voice was very gentle, as if he was worried about scaring away the timid prey, and asked his opinion softly, "It's just that I was thinking. When thinking about it, can I continue to chase you?"

"what?"

"Let's put it this way," Xue Lin listened to the voice of the person on the phone, and could almost imagine his appearance at this time, "Can I ask you out, just... normal, have a meal?"

"What, when... I have to check the schedule." Chen Fang seemed a little embarrassed, but his expression was not at all unhappy, and even faintly revealed the excitement and anticipation that he himself did not realize.

"Um...tomorrow night?"

"So fast?" Chen Fang was unprepared, and subconsciously said what was in his heart.

"Because I want to see you."
