waiting for dawn

Back in the car, the atmosphere became visibly tense.

Although he was never happy when he was with Qin Liming, but now he was mixed with a little embarrassment.

It is possible to make up a lie casually, but Zhang Tuming is awkward, he disdains to be such a person.

Qin Liming coughed twice, and said dryly, "Is that child your former classmate just now? We have a good relationship."

In fact, the steps have already been given, but Zhang Tuming didn't go down. He closed the windows tightly, turned on the air conditioner, "Don't open your eyes and talk nonsense, do you think we look like ordinary classmates?"

"Uh……"

Zhang Tuming glanced at him and stopped his hands, "It's my ex-boyfriend."

Qin Liming lowered his head and was silent. Zhang Tuming turned around abruptly, startled Qin Liming, and retreated reflexively, but Zhang Tuming grabbed his collar and dragged him back, "You are homophobic!" Bar?"

Qin Liming pressed against Zhang Tuming's shoulder, trying to break free, but was pulled closer, Zhang Tuming stared into his eyes, "Speak."

"Let go of me first, I really didn't..."

Qin Liming never dared to raise his eyes to look at him, his long and sparse eyelashes were spread out, trembling because of nervousness.

Zhang Tuming let him go, Qin Liming took a small breath first, and then took the initiative to move closer, "Tuming, listen to me, I really don't mean to discriminate, I just hope you don't fall in love while you are in high school .”

"Before in the bar, your performance was obviously homophobic."

"Ah, that's..." Qin Liming patted him on the shoulder cautiously, "I didn't mean it. In fact, I have a college classmate who is..., er, we still play together."

"What is it?"

Qin Liming swallowed, but said nothing.

"Don't even dare to say anything, what age, there are people like you in this world, how fucking sad!"

"I'm just not used to it, I really have no other meaning."

"you shut up."

The two were silent for a while, and it was Qin Liming who gently tugged at the hem of his clothes first, "Tuming, I'm stupid, I don't know what to say, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the sexual orientation is male or female, it's just that the child just now It doesn't look like a serious kid, if you are willing to study hard now, after you go to university, you will find that there will be more and better...that same sex..."

Qin Liming didn't say it was fine, but Zhang Tuming's anger was completely ignited when he said it, "What is a serious child?" Zhang Tuming threw the key in his hand aside, "Let me tell you! He and I are just like what kind of pot and what kind of lid , I just love his style, I’ve been doing odd jobs for others since junior high school, and went out to hang out in the society when I was in high school, what kind of tall person do you think I am? Don’t make fun of me here!”

Qin Liming didn't dare answer a word at all.

Zhang Tuming was particularly puzzled, "Qin Liming, I'm different from you. You look like a good baby spoiled by your parents. What am I? My grandfather is disabled, and I depend on him for life. My stepmother is afraid that my dad will spend too much money to prevent him from coming to see me, and my mom is even more so that I can’t even remember what she looks like, what do you think all this is because of?”

"……sorry."

"What do you have to do to me?" Zhang Tuming sneered, "But I just get annoyed when I see you, and I'm annoyed when I see your whole family, and it's even more disgusting to see your family's fake face of dying."

Zhang Tumingyou waited for a long time, and only after he calmed down a little did he look at Qin Liming, "Go on your own, I don't want to send you off."

Qin Liming accepted it calmly, "Okay."

He got out of the car, went to the back seat to get the suitcase, and knocked on his car window when he walked around to the front row. Zhang Tuming frowned and opened it halfway, and the goal was Qin Liming's red nose.

"Don't forget to come to class on the seventh day."

Zhang Tuming rolled his eyes away.

The wind is strong and the field is wide, so Qin Liming's back is particularly thin. He neither wears a hat nor gloves, and the only scarf that can keep out the cold is still thrown on the car seat and he forgot to take it. Ming packed the cold medicine for him.

This was the gaffe that Zhang Tuming didn't want to face the most. He turned into Mrs. Xianglin who kept complaining, as if he was so vulnerable.

He simply took Qin Liming's scarf and covered his face, and after having enough time to send him to the train station, he returned home alone.

Zhang Tuming returned to school, but two days later than the start time, Qin Liming bought him two new pairs of shoes and two new sets of clothes, and made a special trip to cook a table of his favorite dishes for him at home.

He could see that Qin Liming wanted to make amends, but he didn't appreciate it, and he didn't want to say a word to him.

The two of them tacitly agreed that neither of them brought up the topic of homosexuality again, especially Qin Liming, who took this care to the extreme.

After the new year, the weather is getting warmer, and before April is over, Chenjiang City seems to be impatiently entering summer.

Qin Liming is still a little different. Before at home, big vests and shorts were the norm. Occasionally, he would go shirtless, but now, even at home, he would put on his pajamas properly. Who cares to look at him.

At the same time, the relationship between Qin Liming and Lu Shan became increasingly tense.

In fact, it was Lu Shan's unilateral disgust. Qin Liming was still licking the dog. Lu Shan was getting more and more out of home. Qin Liming would occasionally scold him when he asked about it. From Zhang Tuming's point of view, divorce is not a problem. Far.

Zhang Tuming's class is notoriously poor, quite a number of students don't plan to go to college, and even a few students never came back after the Spring Festival.

Zhang Tuming took the make-up examination together with the sophomores a few years ago. Although his grades were poor, he passed anyway. Passing the examination means that he can at least get a high school diploma.

In fact, the goal has been achieved, and he wants to leave a little bit, but his grandfather won't let him, he wants him to finish the college entrance examination before returning home.

Qin Liming also wanted him to take the college entrance examination. After all, he had passed the college entrance examination in the last mock exam. Anyway, it would be another two months, so Zhang Tuming decided to endure it to the end.

It's just that there was a little unexpected situation when it was approaching May Day-grandpa was hospitalized.

It's not a serious problem, I sprained my foot, but because my grandfather is disabled, almost all of the usual burden is on this weight-bearing foot, so it seems a little serious.

Zhang Tuming went back to take care of his grandfather for a week. His injured foot was basically healed, but he didn't want to go back to study.

Grandpa is more than 60 years old, and he is not very old. He usually looks healthy, but after all, there are hidden dangers. This time, he fell in the yard, and the neighbors found out quickly. If it was inside the house, Grandpa’s The mobile phone happened not to be by my side, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhang Tuming secretly expressed his thoughts to his grandfather, but he was not very sure. Of course, his grandfather was unwilling, and after scolding him, he called his father.

His father, a typical talkative king, usually doesn't care about business, but when it's time for education, he can't stop talking.

Grandpa obviously couldn't listen to Zhang Tuming's father's preaching, so he scolded directly: "Turtle son, hurry up and serve your father, let Xiaoming go to study."

Zhang Tuming's father hesitated at the moment, "Dad, you know I'm usually busy and can't come back. Otherwise, I'll find you a nanny to take care of you for a while, so Xiao Ming can rest assured."

Zhang Tuming knew that his father must have made some money in the past two years. Although he and his grandfather hadn't had much success, he could still hear some vague embarrassment from his tone.

So Zhang Tuming agreed straight away, "Okay, you can just pay and come over, and we will find the nanny by ourselves."

His father hesitated again, "Yes, yes, but you must not tell your aunt Xiaomeng."

Aunt Xiaomeng is Zhang Tuming's stepmother, and Zhang Tuming didn't even have her contact information, so he snorted contemptuously at this moment, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and send money."

Instead of using the money to find a nanny who makes me and my grandfather feel uneasy, I might as well trouble my relatives.

The elder brother of the cousin's family lived nearby, and Zhang Tuming trusted him, so he distributed some of the funds to him, and asked him to come and visit grandpa for three meals a day.

Grandpa couldn't wait to ask him to go back to study, but Zhang Tuming was not in a hurry, he planned to stay for another two days, because his buddy Zhou Chuan, who he played with since childhood, was going to celebrate his 20th birthday.

Turning 20 is a big day, and he can't miss it.

What bothered Zhang Tuming was that Xiaohu would also come over for Zhou Chuan's birthday.

Originally, he and Xiaohu came together because of Zhou Chuan's connection, and both sides played very hard. After breaking up, this kind of forced formation will naturally occur.

It would be fine if they broke up peacefully, but the point is not that Xiaohu is still in a state of constantly pestering him.

Qin Liming also contacted him, but not so frequently in the past two days. He called him on the first night of May Day. Zhang Tuming was not angry, "Why did it take so long to call?"

Qin Liming whispered, "Last time you said you didn't want to listen to me."

"louder."

"No, Shanshan is sleeping."

Zhang Tuming frowned, picked up the lighter at hand and fiddled with it.

Qin Liming added: "I heard Grandpa Zhang say that you are willing to come back. What my father meant was to let me pick you up and visit Grandpa Zhang by the way."

"ill."

"It's not troublesome." Qin Liming explained, "It just so happens that the school has a three-day holiday for May [-]st. It's rare that there is no make-up class. I have time."

"Who said that?" Zhang Tuming blew off a small flying insect from his hand, "I won't leave the day after tomorrow, and I'll leave on the third."

"Then I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Tuming frowned even deeper, holding the lighter firmly in his palm, "Qin Liming, I'm in a little trouble."

"What's the trouble?"

"Do you still remember the ex-boyfriend who looked for me during the Spring Festival?"

"……Remember."

"I like him very much, but he betrayed me, you understand?"

"I probably understand."

"What would you do if it were you?"

"It must be a breakup."

You'd better be like this, Zhang Tuming thought.He paused and said: "I told him countless times to break up, but he is still entangled, and he recently decided to go to work in Chenjiang City just to be with me."

Qin Liming was also a little anxious, "Do you need me to chat with him?"

"What's the use of talking to him, he's a lunatic, he can't understand human language." Zhang Tuming continued, "I guess he will make it known to everyone that I'm gay, and then say Maybe it will also affect my college entrance examination.”

"That won't work."

"But it's not that there is no solution." Zhang Tuming said quietly: "Although he is crazy, he pays great attention to the rules of the road. The reason why he keeps pestering me is because I have been single. If I find another one, he will It's probably going to die."

"can you?"

"From what I know of him, yes."

"But where do you look for it now, ah no, you can't find it either, you have an exam soon..."

"Qin Liming." Zhang Tuming interrupted him, "Do me a favor."

"You said."

"Tomorrow is my buddy's birthday, and Xiaohu will be there too. Come here and pretend to be my boyfriend."

"no!"

The answer was expected by Zhang Tuming, but he wasn't annoyed, he just snorted coldly, "Okay, then I'll spend money to hire someone I like, it just so happens that I've been fasting for so long, it's right Might as well get some sleep."

"Does it have to be like this?" Qin Liming softened his tone, "Can't you talk to him again?"

"It's all said."

"Can't you get a friend to help?"

"Our circle of friends almost overlaps. Besides, it's strange to find a friend for this kind of thing. People will misunderstand that I have any unreasonable thoughts about him."

"Isn't it strange to find me?"

"You?" Zhang Tuming chuckled, "You're married, and I don't have any interest in you. Besides, you know your mouth and are strict enough, and you don't even know them. Isn't it just right?"

"I am old."

"It's also five years old."

"I don't look like...you like..."

"Tastes always change."

"I can't speak either."

"Just be dumb."

"But……"

"Forget it if you don't want to." Zhang Tuming's tone was cold, "I'll go find someone else and hang up."

"Don't!" Qin Liming called out to him in time, "Is there nothing else besides eating together?"

"Maybe some wine."

"I still need……"

"You don't need anything, just come."
