After wearing the book and the future boss HE

Huo Weiping's expression darkened when he heard Huo Qiao's words.

He seemed to want to get angry, but held back.

"I'll handle it." Huo Weiping said.

He looked at Huo Qiao and sneered, "If you want others to know, you have to do it yourself. I don't think it might have come from the Huo residence."

The relationship between Huo Qiao and Huo Weiping has never been good, and there was even a big quarrel a few days ago.

If it is a pair of father and son who have a harmonious relationship, maybe they can spread the word out, instead of playing games with meaning.

Huo Qiao wasn't interested in listening to Huo Weiping's accusations against him, he half-lidded his eyes indifferently, "Is there anything else?"

"..."

Huo Weiping choked on him, and his anger rose again.

But he didn't want to quarrel with Huo Qiao here, and in the end he just warned: "I don't care what kind of temper you have, just stay here for me."

Huo Qiao frowned, feeling extremely irritable.

Mr. Huo finally woke up around five o'clock in the morning.

The whole family breathed a sigh of relief, and Cui Hongti walked towards the old man's ward with the support of the younger generation.

In order to facilitate the care of the two elderly people, a small family hospital is specially configured upstairs.

All kinds of medical examination equipment are complete. There are hired family doctors and nurses all year round. General ailments can be taken care of directly at home, which is not much worse than that of large hospitals.

The doctor did an examination in time, and then told everyone that the old man is fine, but it is best to stay in bed for a few days to recuperate.

After all, Huo Qitai is getting old, and his body is not as good as before.

Although he woke up, his mental state was still not good. After a short waking up, he fell asleep again.

Everyone didn't dare to disturb him, they only stayed in the ward for a while and then quietly retreated out.

"I'm here with Dad."

Huo Weiping said: "Mom, you all go to rest first."

Cui Hongti stayed up all night, and at this moment she was relieved and couldn't bear it anymore.

She nodded and was led by the servant to the room.

After the old lady left, Huo Ya and Huo Chunpeng also said a few grandiose words to Huo Weiping, and the two families left one after another.

Only Huo Weiping and Huo Qiao were left in the corridor.

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Huo Qiao had nothing to say to Huo Weiping, he put his hands in his pockets, turned and walked to his room.

Huo Weiping frowned and called him back.

Huo Qiao paused, and then heard Huo Weiping's deep and majestic voice——

"Remember my words, don't make your grandparents angry again."

Huo Qiao's heart seemed to be covered with thick dark clouds, he tightened his lips, and finally said nothing.

In the next few days, Mr. Huo spent most of his time recuperating and getting infusions, and he was not able to get out of bed until three days later.

On the third day of junior high school, Wang Mei and Qu Xiangmin came back with bags of special products.

Wang Mei was still wearing the new coat she bought during the Chinese New Year. Although she looked tired from the journey, she was still mostly smiling.

Seeing her like this, Chu Yan finally felt relieved.

He helped the two of them pack up the special products they brought back, and Wang Mei also told him a lot of interesting things about going back to his hometown this time.

Chu Yan is a good listener and will respond to Wang Mei's words, which makes Wang Mei very happy.

After packing up his things, Chu Yan went back to his room to study.

Now he spends almost half of the day studying, occasionally playing games with Xiao Chengcheng and the others.

The happiest thing was to receive a message from Huo Qiao.

The chat time between the two is not fixed or frequent, but just a few words of conversation can make Chu Yan happy for a long time.

Especially after receiving the good news——

Huo Qiao told him that his grandfather was in much better health.

Chu Yan excitedly sent several "Little Bear Jumping" emojis.

He was really happy, happy for Huo Qiao.

As for more, such as when Huo Qiao will come back, he never asks.

——Huo Qiao didn't say anything either.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Chu Yan went back to Yulan Huating to see Camellia.

The camellia has already bloomed a second one, this one is pink, with beautiful double-petalled pollen.

Chu Yan opened his eyes wide in surprise, and quickly took a photo and sent it to Huo Qiao.

This camellia has very good genetics. Although the plant is not tall until now, the color of the flowers blooms very well.

Chu Yan propped his chin to look at the flowers for a long time, and then made a decision.

The camellia pot was too precious, so Chu Yan planned to remove the camellia when he and Huo Qiao went to college.

The flower pot was left in Yulan Huating - it was also a memory he and Huo Qiao shared.

If the house had memories, it would remember that Huo Qiao's various handicraft collections were kept here, as well as a pot of Yongle blue and white flowers that once belonged to him.

As for the camellia, once he and Huo Qiao rented a house, they could take it there to raise it.

Chu Yan curled his lips and made a silent decision in his heart.

He didn't tell Huo Qiao about this decision, because Chu Yan felt that talking about future topics with Huo Qiao now seemed to be putting pressure on him.

Chu Yan didn't want Huo Qiao to be burdened.

He came out of Yulan Huating, instead of going home directly, he took the subway to Wang Mei and Qu Xiangmin's Chuan Chuan shop.

Both of them are very hardworking people, and they can't stay idle after the new year, so they went to reopen their business today.

When Chu Yan arrived at the store, there were only a few customers in the store.

Uncle Qu is busy in the back kitchen, while Wang Mei is tidying up the counter.

"Mom, Uncle Qu, I'm here." Chu Yan called out.

"Yanyan, why are you here?" Wang Mei said with a smile.

Uncle Qu also leaned out from the back kitchen to say hello.

Chu Yan cheered himself up in his heart, and he said to Wang Mei: "Mom, I'm here to find you."

"Why are you looking for me? What's wrong?" Wang Mei asked strangely.

Chu Yan was a little nervous, but still smiled at Wang Mei, "I have something to tell you."

Wang Mei was stunned for a moment, and then said "Oh".

"It's the thing you told me in the supermarket, right? I was still thinking about it. I didn't say anything until after the Chinese New Year. I was busy recently and forgot."

Chu Yan nodded. He felt that it was not easy to talk in the store, so he asked Wang Mei: "Mom, can you go with me to the coffee shop outside?"

On the way here, he had already seen a cafe open.

Wang Mei has never been to a place like a coffee shop.

She was stunned for a moment, and her heart skipped a beat suddenly, because she didn't know what Chu Yan was going to tell her, so she felt uneasy.

Wang Mei pondered for a while, thinking that Chu Yan might want to tell her about volunteering, right?

Although she didn't understand these things, Chu Yan was willing to tell her that she was also very happy.

Thinking of this, Wang Mei took off her apron, said something to Qu Xiangmin, and followed Chu Yan to the coffee shop.

There used to be many restaurants and snack bars on this street, but now because of the Chinese New Year, more than half of the shops have not opened, and it looks deserted.

There were no other customers in that cafe, only a girl was watching a TV series on the bar counter with a pad.

The cafe is not big, and the decoration design is also in an ordinary style.

But it was the first time for Wang Mei to come to this kind of bourgeois-looking place, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

"It's okay." Chu Yan comforted Wang Mei.

He found a seat by the window far away from the bar for Wang Mei to sit.

Then I went to the bar and ordered two cups of coffee and a dessert.

Chu Yan returned to the table with coffee and desserts, and pushed the coffee and Black Forest cake to Wang Mei.

"Yanyan, don't you want to eat?" Wang Mei asked.

Chu Yan shook his head, "I don't want to eat, you can eat."

Because of his nervousness, he has no appetite now.

Wang Mei took a spoonful of the cake and ate it.

She took a few mouthfuls, then suddenly lowered her voice and said to Chu Yan, "Why don't you think it's as delicious as the ones you brought home before?"

Chu Yan blinked in surprise, remembering that what Wang Mei was talking about should be the practice items he brought home to make Huo Qiao's birthday cake.

Wang Mei's compliment was really great, Chu Yan smiled embarrassedly, and the tension in his heart dissipated a little.

He did some mental construction for himself, and finally summoned up the courage to speak.

"Mom, I have someone I like."

Chu Yan said, "He's a boy."

Wang Mei lost her grip on the spoon, and the plastic spoon made a rough noise when it fell on the table, and the chocolate cream on it fell into sticky stains.

As if struck by lightning, she stared at Chu Yan in a daze.

Even though she could hear every word clearly, Wang Mei felt that she couldn't understand at all, and she would rather not hear clearly.

Chu Yan lowered his eyes, staring at the dirty brown mark.

No matter how beautiful the cake, no matter how delicious the cream, if it does not stay in the original place and is not properly placed, it will only become embarrassing dirt if it falls down and rolls on the dirt.

Not to mention the same-sex love between him and Huo Qiao, which is different from ordinary people.

Even if they know that it is sweet, there is nothing bad or terrible, but in the eyes of those who don't understand, their love is just a scourge, a mud that they don't even want to look at, for fear of stepping on it.

Chu Yan quietly clenched his hands on his knees, so tight that he felt pain in his palms.

He continued to say to Wang Mei: "I like the same sex, I am born with it."

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Wang Mei looked at Chu Yan with wide eyes, her lips trembling.

She asked him incredulously: "Yanyan, what did you just say...?"

Chu Yan paused, and opened his mouth to say that sentence again.

But Wang Mei stopped him abruptly, "No, don't say it!"

After she yelled this sentence, tears flowed straight down.

Wang Mei has gone through many difficult times in her life. She used to break down and cry uncontrollably, but later found that crying was useless, and no one would stand behind her to help her.

She had no choice but to keep herself from crying and make herself stronger.She still has a tiny little Chu Yan to raise. If she can only cry, how can she raise Chu Yan?

Later, the conditions gradually improved, Chu Yan's grades became very good, and she married Qu Xiangmin again. Wang Mei thought that this was the end of all hardships, and she had nothing to cry about.

It was only today that Wang Mei realized that she was still going to cry, as God seemed to be joking with her all the time.

She covered her face and cried for a while, then asked Chu Yan in a broken voice: "Can you change it? Let's go to the doctor, okay..."

Chu Yan bit his lip, and said:

"Mom, it's not a disease for me to like the same sex, and I don't need to see a doctor, because it's natural and I can't change it."

Wang Mei stared at him blankly, "But if you behave like this, someone will poke your spine."

She is just a simple woman who has never read any books in her life. She got married early and ran out of the countryside to work.

He has been to few places and has little knowledge, but he has a solid shoulder, and he has pulled Chu Yan up in this big city by himself.

She is the purest and most sincere mother. In her eyes, Chu Yan has become a "pervert" who once heard people gossip, but she is still worried that Chu Yan will be accused and hurt by others.

Chu Yan smiled lightly, "I'm not afraid of what others will say, but I want your blessing."

Wang Mei cried again, and her tears seemed to rain heavily on Chu Yan's heart.

Crying is restrained.

She was trying her best not to let herself cry, she wanted to maintain Chu Yan's decency, to prevent their conversation from being overheard by others, and she didn't want Chu Yan to be scolded "pervert" by poking his spine.

Chu Yan's eyes were also sore.

He has experienced two worlds, two 17-year-olds and two high school seniors. This is the most difficult time for him.

Chu Yan thought of Huo Qiao.

He wondered if it was as difficult when Huo Qiao came out to his family, or was it more difficult than him?

He asked Wang Mei: "Do you want to know who I like?"

"If you would like to know, I will bring him to see you later."

Chu Yan lowered his head, "It's selfish to say that, but I really hope you can accept him."

The long silence was like a pantomime, and Wang Mei finally spoke.

She asked, "Who?"

Chu Yan pursed his lips, "You've met before, Huo Qiao, my deskmate."

It's him.

Wang Mei passed the tall, thin, handsome, a little cold boy with a good family background.

She thought she should have found out earlier.

Why didn't she find out sooner?

but……

Even if she found out, what could she do?

Wang Mei suddenly realized that she couldn't do anything, she couldn't change anything.

Chu Yan has never asked her for living expenses and pocket money since her third year of high school. She even paid the tuition fees by herself, and bought things for her and Qu Xiangmin from time to time.

Wang Mei was once very happy because of Chu Yan, and she felt that having a son like Chu Yan was her greatest blessing.

But now she suddenly discovered that Chu Yan had already grown to the point where she was no longer needed.

She can't control Chu Yan's choice.

Although Chu Yan looks kind and kind, he is stubborn in his heart. He has his own ideas and persistence.

Wang Mei realized this when Chu Yan didn't want her tuition fees.

Wang Mei's voice was hoarse, and when she opened her mouth, she made a dry, hoarse sound that was almost rough.

"Then your classmate, did your family agree?"

Chu Yan clenched his hands even tighter, and his voice was a little hoarse for some reason.

"He... gave up a lot for me."

Wang Mei was worried and flustered, "That classmate of yours, it's not easy at first glance, you can really..."

She didn't believe that Chu Yan and the others could really go on.

Thinking that Chu Yan might be pointed at by other people's parents or beaten, scolded and humiliated, Wang Mei felt that she was going crazy.

Chu Yan heard the concession in Wang Mei's words, and his eyes widened in surprise.

For a while, Chu Yan couldn't describe what he felt like, as if he had knocked over all the condiments.

They fermented together into a bitter and astringent taste, but there was a surge of hope in his heart.

He thought for a while and said, "Maybe before I like him, I can still like other people of the same sex."

"But after liking him, I won't like others again."

Young love is always vigorous, like a sunflower growing against the sun.

Maybe after the sun goes down, the flowers will not bloom as vigorously and intensely, but the moment illuminated by the sun will always be the most brilliant appearance.

Chu Yan can't predict the future, but he understands his own heart.

If he fell in love with someone like Huo Qiao, he was the favorite, so how could he fall in love with others again.

Maybe it's too hasty to set a life at a young age, but Chu Yan's sincerity is like this.

Huo Qiao was someone he had traveled through two worlds, and had finally met and been together with great difficulty.

How could he give up.
