your voice is delicious

At the end of June, the Academy of Fine Arts in City B held a graduation ceremony.

"Mom, sit down with Dad first, I'll go find my roommate." After taking a group photo with teachers and classmates, Tang Tang took the flowers from her mother.

The wind of summer is warm, and the joy of graduation permeates the whole campus.

Lin Ziying looked at her grown-up son with some emotion, and nodded.

After Tang Tang turned around holding the bouquet, she couldn't help wiping her eyes.

Tang Qing beside her held her hand.

"Why are you crying? My son should be happy after graduation." Tang Qing smiled.

Lin Ziying slapped him, "Aren't I touched, my son has grown so big before I know it. Over the years... we have spent too little time by his side."

It would be a lie to say that they don't feel guilty. They have been busy working abroad over the years and rarely return home.

Tang Qing sighed: "Aren't we back now, and we will spend more time with our son in the future."

After finishing their last tour, they decided to return to China for development.

Lin Ziying nodded, "My son said he wants to open a studio, so ask your friends for help, see if you can provide Tangtang with some experience."

"It's okay, it's all trivial things. Don't cry, you are so old." Tang Qing couldn't help but joked seeing his wife still crying.

"Hum." She gave Tang Qing a blank look, then wiped her nose with her husband's suit, and made her voice loud on purpose.

Tang Qing looked helpless, but still patted his wife on the shoulder dotingly.

The two who love each other have gone through ups and downs hand in hand, and finally returned to their hometown.

Tang Tang found Tian Chen, who happened to be looking for him too.

"Cheng Zi, happy graduation."

"Thank you." Tian Chen took the bouquet with a happy face.

Then he asked, "Where are Auntie and Uncle?"

"They were resting in front. They took a lot of photos for me just now, and they are a little tired... Hey? Is that Gu Fengyan?" Tang Tang was a little surprised when he saw the man under the big tree not far away.

"Why is he here?"

Tian Chen coughed lightly with an unnatural expression, Tang Tang seemed to know something: "Is he here to look for you?"

"He... came to City B on business, just happened to catch up with the graduation ceremony and came to see it... He didn't come to see me specifically! He just happened to meet... He came to see it."

Tang Tang didn't think much about it at first, but Tian Chen's tense appearance made him feel tricky instead.

"Oh~" He blinked, "What a coincidence."

Seeing that Cheng Zi didn't know what to say to refute, he stopped teasing him. "I'll go to dinner with my parents later, do you want to come together?"

Originally thought that there was still a lot of time to be together, but who knew they would graduate in the blink of an eye.

He was a little reluctant to give up oranges.

"Wait a minute..." Tian Chen showed embarrassment on his face, and glanced at the man under the big tree not far behind him.

Tang Tang understood, "It's okay, we are all in City B anyway, let's meet again when we have time..."

"Toffee." Tian Chen interrupted him suddenly, "I might go to City H after graduation."

Tang Tang froze for a moment, then thought of Chengzi's mother in H city.

But at the graduation ceremony, neither Cheng Zi's parents came.

He knew that Tian Chen's family was a bit complicated, so he didn't talk too much, but said with some reluctance: "Have you thought about what to do in the future?"

This time Tian Chen didn't struggle anymore, "Think about it, open a pet shop."

"In City H?"

"Well, in City H."

This is an idea that Chengzi has never mentioned before. Tang Tang blinked and said involuntarily: "When did you think of this...I don't even know."

Tian Chen smiled, and hugged Tang Tang as if in some kind of relief: "Actually, I had it a long time ago."

"I have liked small animals since I was a child, but for some reason... I couldn't keep them. Now I finally made up my mind to do what I want to do."

"Thank you, Toffee."

"Thank me?" Tang Tang was a little puzzled. He got up from Cheng Zi's arms, looked at the other party and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Because you said before that "everyone has more or less regrets in the past, why not fight again while you are still young" made me realize instantly."

"Master Tang, thank you for your life guidance, showing me a path to my dream!"

"And poor." Tang Tang shook his head with a smile, he didn't believe that his words would touch Orange so much.

"In short... I hope you are doing well in the future."

After graduating from college, life is about to enter the next stage.

They don't know what the future will hold, but the four years of living together is a good memory.

Tian Chen also showed a serious look on his face, "You are also a toffee, you must have a bright future."

After leaving Orange for a while, Tang Tang was about to go back to find her parents, but suddenly met someone who shouldn't be here.

He stood where he was, his pupils dilated suddenly. Although he was no longer so scared, the long-term psychological shadow still made him flustered inexplicably.

"Talk about...Xiaoyu?"

This person even returned home.

"Tang Tang... happy graduation." Tan Xiaoyu stepped forward and handed out flowers.

"…thanks."

His brain was a little messed up, and the expression on his face did not show the joy of receiving the bouquet.

Tan Xiaoyu smiled, "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you again."

"I'm coming back to China this time... to handle immigration."

"I'm getting married soon...can we talk?"

"…it is good."

After calling his parents, Tang Tang followed Tan Xiaoyu to a cafe in the commercial street of University City.

The environment in the store is very good, with petty bourgeois BGM playing, and the students around are laughing and laughing, all immersed in the joy of graduation.

Only Tang Tang was in a bad mood.

He took a sip of the coffee, the bitterness made him frown slightly, and he couldn't help adding some more sugar.

Tan Xiaoyu: "You still like sweets as always."

"...Well." Tang Tang put down his coffee and looked directly at Tan Xiaoyu: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Tan Xiaoyu sighed, "You really don't want to stay with me for a minute."

Tang Tang: "..."

He cannot deny it.

The sugar-fried chestnuts in the mouth are a bit bitter, even stronger than the coffee taste.

Tang Tang frowned and stared at Tan Xiaoyu, what did this guy want to say.

"Okay." Tan Xiaoyu held the coffee cup with both hands, leaned forward, and looked at Tang Tang sincerely: "I am Tang Tang, who is here to apologize, for what I have done."

Tang Tang: "..."

"I don't expect you to forgive me, after all...my behavior back then was indeed not worthy of forgiveness."

"Most importantly, I want to tell you...you were right that time a year ago..."

Tan Xiaoyu had a painful look on his face.

"I'm gay, I like you Tang Tang."

"..."

Tan Xiaoyu glanced at the person opposite, and continued: "But I can't admit it. My family is relatively old-fashioned. My parents have sneered at "alien" since I was a child, like homosexuality... They think it is abnormal."

"When I was in high school... I was very interested in you, and I was the only one who wanted you."

"But I don't understand what this feeling is. I can't admit that I like you, otherwise I am admitting that I am an abnormal person."

"I can't admit that I like you, but I still want to have all of you crazily in my heart, so when I know that there is another person in your heart... Jealousy swallows my reason."

"I did a lot of wrong things after that... I just want you to be alone and helpless and rely on me, so that I'm the only one by your side..."

"Enough." Tang Tang interrupted Tan Xiaoyu to continue, he didn't want to bring up the past again.

Although it is already a thing of the past, but the hurt is engraved in the bottom of my heart, once I think about it, I still can't bear it.

"Stop talking." Tang Tang forced himself not to think about those memories of high school, "Tan Xiaoyu, I can't forgive you."

"Even if you realize your mistake now and apologize, that memory... will become my eternal nightmare."

"Maybe I will gradually forget it in the future, but the past injury will not disappear, it will only become a scar engraved in my heart, reminding me that I have had a painful experience."

"Tan Xiaoyu, no matter what, the perpetrator cannot be forgiven."

"Because the victims . . . never forget."

"I'm sorry..." Tan Xiaoyu bowed his head, his eyes full of pain.

Before he came, he knew that Tang Tang would not forgive himself, but when the other party said it so directly, he... regretted it very much.

Tang Tang took a deep breath, his eye circles were a little red, and he adjusted his emotions.

His eyes moved to Tan Xiaoyu's legs, "You...are you really not allowed to practice track and field anymore?"

"...Well." Tan Xiaoyu touched his leg, but his expression was a little relieved, "I can't, this is probably God's punishment for my bad deeds."

"My parents found me a "well-matched" wife abroad. Of course they said so, but in fact it was my family, Pan Gaozhi, who was an important customer of my dad's company. In order to stabilize a long-term cooperative relationship...they "sold" me to killed them."

Tang Tang: "..."

Tan Xiaoyu took another sip of coffee, this time he frowned like Tang Tang.

Sure enough, dessert is better.

"My parents have always been like this. They regard me as their tool. Because they are interested in your parents... let me approach you and be friends with you."

"Heh, but they didn't know what they were doing made me rebellious."

Tan Xiaoyu took another deep look at the person opposite: "Tang Tang, I'm sorry, I didn't regard you as a friend from the beginning, but... I understand now, I liked you."

"Of course it's useless to say these things now, so in the end I prepared a gift for you." Tan Xiaoyu took out a heavy cowhide document bag from behind and put it in front of Tang Tang's desk.

"…what is this?"

"Profiles of Mullin's deep track and field career."

Tang Tang frowned, and said in an alert tone: "Are you investigating him?"

"Don't get me wrong, I mean no harm."

"I just want to tell you... I once met Mu Linshen. He won No.100 in the 1-meter sprint at the National Middle School Student Athletic Exchange Competition hosted by City X."

"At that time, many colleges and universities came to watch the competition. His performance was really excellent. Many teachers said..."

"Mu Linshen is a good seed, and there is hope to enter the national team in the future."
