Never be a bully again

You can't understand it, let's talk about it next week, it's not bad for this week. "

"No!" Wan Chaoyang resolutely said, "Who knows what will happen next week, I finally made up my mind, and I must not delay any longer! I'll wash up, wake up and let's go!"

Xue Mu couldn't resist Wan Chaoyang, but in fact, he hoped that this matter could be resolved, so he followed his wishes, had a simple lunch, and then drove to Jingxi.

The car stopped downstairs at Wan Shuqing's house, Xue Mu turned off the ignition, turned to look at Wan Chaoyang, Wan Chaoyang finally had some firmness in his eyes, he gently shook Xue Mu's hand, and said, "You are now Wait in the car for a while, I think my dad will want to talk to me alone about this."

Xue Mu nodded and said, "If you need me, just call me."

"Hmm..." Wan Chaoyang pursed his lips, "Don't worry, I'm fine, the main thing is my dad... I hope he can digest this matter in these two months."

"No matter what, I'm here."

"I know."

Seeing Wan Chaoyang's figure disappearing into the corridor, Xue Mu couldn't help sighing deeply. He really couldn't predict the result of the communication, but no matter what the result was, he had already thought about mustering up courage and Wan Chaoyang faced it together.

The sun was moving towards the west bit by bit, Xue Mu kept looking at the time on the phone, every second passed, he felt more uneasy, even though he had done psychological training repeatedly, he still couldn't control himself tension and apprehension.

Suddenly, the familiar ringtone rang, Xue Mu turned his head to look, only to see Wan Chaoyang's cell phone dropped under the seat, he hurriedly picked it up, but it was an international long-distance call from the United States, Xue Mu thought for a while, probably it was a scam He hung up the phone, but within a few seconds, the call came in again, he hesitated for a moment, and pressed the answer button.

"Hello? Hello?"

"Hello, are you Wan Chaoyang?" A somewhat hoarse male voice sounded.

"Uh... I'm his friend, it's not convenient for him to answer the phone now, who are you?"

"My name is Ge Min, and I'm his...brother."

"Brother? Ah..." Xue Mu suddenly realized, thinking that this must be the son of Cui Lijun's second husband, "What's the matter with you? I'll pass it on to you if it's convenient, or wait for him to call you back? But maybe Just wait a little later."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Ge Min's voice sounded again: "Please ask him to call me back as soon as possible, his mother... passed away."

Question 120 Too late to say goodbye

"Why are you back at this hour? I thought you wouldn't be back this week." Wan Shuqing glanced at Wan Chaoyang while playing the piano, seemingly calm, but accidentally played a wrong note, "Come back by yourself?"

"Xue Mu is here too, in the car below." Wan Chaoyang suppressed his uneasiness and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Why didn't you come up?" Wan Shuqing asked again.

"I'll tell you something, and I'll call him when I'm done."

Wan Shuqing raised his eyes to look at Wan Chaoyang, his heart sank, and he said, "Then wait until I finish practicing this time."

Wan Chaoyang nodded, got up and poured himself a glass of water, drank a couple of sips, sat back on the sofa quietly, and listened to Wan Shuqing's melodious and melodious piano sound like moonlight pouring down, adding a sense of tranquility to the warm afternoon in early spring A sense of depression.

At the end of the last note, the fingertips flicked from the keys. Wan Shuqing sighed imperceptibly, closed the piano cover, got up and sat down opposite Wan Chaoyang, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say, say it."

Wan Chaoyang moved his Adam's apple, and his viscera trembled involuntarily. He took another sip of water, calmed himself down, decided to change his entrance, and said, "I... I'm going to buy a house."

"Buy a house?" Wan Shuqing was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that what he wanted to tell him was this matter, "Oh...buy...buy it, where can I buy it? How much is it? Look at it?"

"It's still in Phoenix City, two-bedroom, more than 90 square meters, less than 200 million." Wan Chaoyang replied.

Wan Shuqing was a little surprised when he heard this number, and asked again: "You already have 200 million?"

"Of course not," Wan Chaoyang twitched his mouth, "but the down payment is enough, and the loan will be repaid slowly."

"Oh..." Wan Shuqing nodded, "Then... buy it if you buy it... This is a good thing, you don't have enough money—"

"The money is enough," Wan Chaoyang answered, "I will get 30 with Xue Mu, and his parents will sponsor 30."

"Xue Mu? His parents?" Wan Shuqing blurted out.

"Yeah." Wan Chaoyang nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Me and Xue Mu...we bought a house together—we share it."

Wan Shuqing's eyes darkened, and she was silent for a long time. Although she knew the answer, she still had to ask, "You two...why did you buy a house together..."

"Because we want to live together." Wan Chaoyang nervously folded his fingers together, "We are in a relationship."

"Bang bang bang!"

The hasty knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two. Wan Chaoyang and Wan Shuqing glanced at the door at the same time, and then looked at each other. At the door, he hurriedly asked, "Why did you come up by yourself? I haven't finished talking yet."

Xue Mu pursed his lips, took Wan Chaoyang's hand, and walked straight into the living room. When Wan Shuqing saw him, his face darkened a little, and he looked at the two people holding hands tightly, feeling even more dissatisfied. Yue, was about to speak, but Xue Mu said first: "Uncle... Chaoyang... something...you have to be mentally prepared..."

Naturally, both of them couldn't think of what happened, and each looked at him with frowns.

"Ge Min called just now and said..." Xue Mu shook Wan Chaoyang's hand, "Aunt Cui and that Uncle Ge... had an accident..."

Wan Chaoyang was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"They... were on vacation... met... robbers..."

Wan Zhaoyang was shocked all over, and Wan Shuqing also stood up from the sofa suddenly, then felt dizzy for a while, and fell down again.

Xue Mu and Wan Chaoyang rushed to help him, Wan Shuqing's eyes went dark, and he struggled to ask, "And then?! What's wrong?!"

Wan Chaoyang also quickly turned his head to look at Xue Mu. Xue Mu looked back at him, hesitating for a long time, but he had no choice but to announce the bad news himself: "Both of them were shot...and died..."

Wan Chaoyang stared in disbelief, his feet went limp, and he fell to the ground. Wan Shuqing felt dizzy and her ears rang. She leaned her head back on the sofa, closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, and murmured: "No! Possibly... Impossible..."

Xue Mu hurriedly grabbed Wan Chaoyang's arm with one hand, and gently stroked his back with the other hand. Looking at the devastated father and son in front of him, he didn't know how to comfort him. Need to go to hospital.

Wan Chaoyang sat on the ground, holding the coffee table with one hand, and being held tightly by Xue Mu with the other, his mind was in chaos, cold sweat broke out from his skin layer by layer, his heart was beating violently on his chest, and his whole body couldn't stop shaking trembling.

"Chaoyang...you... you sit on the sofa, don't sit on the floor..." Xue Mu tried to help Wan Chaoyang up, but he couldn't pull him up no matter how hard he tried.

Wan Shuqing slowly opened his eyes, tried to take a few deep breaths to calm himself down, reached out with trembling hand to pick up the water cup and took a sip of tea. Nothing else to do, cleared his throat, and said, "Yangyang...you...you call that kid back...and ask...what's going on."

Wan Chaoyang looked up at Wan Shuqing in confusion, his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he didn't understand Wan Shuqing's words at all.

Xue Mu also looked at Wan Shuqing's expression, and could see that although he tried hard to keep calm, his face was still ashen, but he just didn't want to collapse in front of Wan Chaoyang and him.

"How about..." Xue Mu thought about it and said, "Uncle, please call him..."

Wan Shuqing looked at Xue Mu, was silent for a long time, and could only nod his head, Xue Mu hurriedly took out Wan Chaoyang's mobile phone, dialed back to Ge Min, hesitated, and pressed the hands-free button.

Wan Shuqing tried his best to restrain the grief in his heart, and calmly discussed the situation of Cui Lijun's death with Ge Min, but sometimes he was still in a trance and couldn't talk, so Xue Mu hurriedly helped to deal with it.

The incident happened three days ago. Cui Lijun and her husband Ge Xiaolong were driving on vacation. The car was robbed and injured by a gun. However, the robber committed the crime after taking drugs. After fleeing by car, he caused a traffic accident. The police arrested him and passed the interrogation. Knowing the situation of the two, it was too late when the bodies were found, and the purpose of Ge Min contacting Wan Chaoyang was to inform him of the regrettable news, and to discuss with him about Cui Lijun's inheritance.

Wan Zhaoyang listened to the conversation in a trance, as if he had listened to everything, but also seemed to understand nothing, vaguely felt that Ge Min asked him something, but he didn't know how to answer it at all.

Knowing that his mind was in confusion, Xue Mu wanted him to calm down before replying to Ge Min, but Wan Chaoyang had to confirm whether he would attend the funeral. Seeing that Wan Chaoyang could not answer, he turned his head to look at Wan Shuqing.

Wan Shuqing hesitated for a long time, and said, "Let's go...it's the last time we see each other."

"Then please just book the flight and tell me...I still have a lot of things to deal with here, let's get in touch again." After Ge Min said this, he hung up the phone, leaving only the three men quietly Staring at the darkened screen, there was a dead silence.

I don't know how long time passed, and the afternoon sun turned crimson little by little, Wan Shuqing finally said: "You... go back to the city, and then book tickets to go to the United States as soon as possible to get things done. Without dad, help as much as you can."

Xue Mu looked at Wan Shuqing worriedly, and said, "Uncle, can you do it here alone?"

Wan Shuqing lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice: "I'm fine, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, you go, I want to lie down for a while."

"Dad..." Wan Chaoyang finally spoke, his voice a little dry, "You can come with me...Look at my mother..."

Wan Shuqing moved his Adam's apple, shook his head and said, "I'm not going, I'll figure out what's going on... But you have to go, even though we're separated, he will always be your mother."

After finishing speaking, he stood up with difficulty, Xue Mu hurriedly let go of Wan Chaoyang's hand to help him, but he gently pushed him away, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, I'm tired."

Xue Mu helplessly watched Wan Shuqing walk into the bedroom heavily, and before closing the door, he turned around and said, "Please accompany him, he is like this...I don't worry."

Xue Mu repeatedly agreed, watched Wan Shuqing slowly close the door, turned to look at Wan Chaoyang whose face was still very pale, and said in a low voice: "Then let's go."

Wan Chaoyang raised his empty eyes to look at Xue Mu, nodded dully, and struggled to get up from the ground, Xue Mu hurriedly helped him again, holding his hand, which was as cold as ice.

On the way back, Wan Chaoyang was always in a state of bewilderment, without tears or emotions. He just sat in the co-pilot and stared straight ahead blankly. When Xue Mu spoke to him, he accepted them lightly Speaking, although sometimes distracted, it doesn't look like the state of will has been disintegrated.

Xue Mu is very worried about this. Although he has ten years more life experience than Wan Chaoyang, he has never experienced the death of a relative, and even a family with no friends has encountered such an accident, which makes him completely uncertain. I don't know whether to talk about this incident to comfort him, or to bypass it completely to distract Wan Chaoyang, and Wan Chaoyang's state made him flustered even more, always feeling that he would suddenly collapse in the next second, but It seems that he can always control his emotions.

After returning home, he hurriedly made various online calls to deal with passports, visas and air tickets, while Wan Chaoyang took off his shoes and leaned against the head of the bed in a daze.

He has accepted the fact that Cui Lijun has passed away, but this incident is too difficult for him to digest and understand. His emotional system doesn't even know how to respond. He feels that his heart is sad, but he doesn't. Feeling like crying a little bit, he suspects that his grief may just be what he thinks it should be, maybe he is not so sad in the first place, that's why he doesn't have the urge to cry.

He thought wildly, thinking that maybe it was because he had been separated from Cui Lijun for so long that he had already forgotten the existence of a mother, or that he had been hiding his dissatisfaction with Cui Lijun because of the divorce for many years. On the contrary, his death satisfied his subconscious wish.

Xue Mu took care of everything in an orderly manner, and when he looked back at Wan Chaoyang still looking like a log, he felt more and more uneasy, so he ran to the balcony and called He Donglan for help.

He Donglan was also taken aback when he heard the news, but he calmed down immediately. After understanding the situation, he suggested that Xue Mu talk to Wan Chaoyang. It would be best to let him cry, at least not to hold back internal injuries.

Xue Mu listened to He Donglan's suggestion, climbed onto the bed and hugged Wan Chaoyang gently, comforting him softly, and said, "Cry if you want to cry, you don't have to be tense in front of me."

Wan Chaoyang turned his head to look at Xue Mu, and said, "I don't want to cry... I really... don't want to cry."

Xue Mu sighed softly, but Wan Chaoyang continued, "I'm not trying to be brave, and it's not that I'm not sad, but I just... don't feel like crying... Maybe... maybe I'm just a cold-blooded person... "

Xue Mu quickly hugged him into his arms again, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't talk nonsense, you still can't make a turn in your heart, if you can't cry, don't force it, if you want to cry, don't hold back."

Wan Chaoyang sighed silently, not knowing what else to explain, so he could only let Xue Mu think like this.

Three days later, Xue Mu flew to California with Wan Chaoyang. He didn't care about adjusting the time difference, so he went to see the lawyer under Ge Min's arrangement.

Cui Lijun did not leave a will, and she did not own any property alone. Wan Chaoyang and Ge Min should share all the property shared with Ge Xiaolong [-]/[-], including a large Chinese restaurant, two cars, There are several equity investments.

Wan Chaoyang has no interest in these inheritances. He came to the United States this time to attend the funeral, so he directly expressed his renunciation of inheritance and gave it all to Ge Min.

Ge Min didn't refute Wan Chaoyang's decision. When sorting out Cui Lijun's personal belongings, he found some old photos of Wan Chaoyang and Wan Shuqing, so he took them out and handed them to Wan Chaoyang.

The day of the funeral was sunny and sunny. Although most of the relatives and friends who came to attend were Chinese, the ceremony process was still carried out according to the Western one. Ge Min told Wan Chaoyang in advance that his farewell speech was arranged in the process, but he But he rejected this arrangement. Although he had a lot of things he wanted to reminisce about, he didn't want to tell so many strangers.

Xue Mu sat beside Wan Chaoyang, listening to the relatives and friends of Cui Lijun and Ge Xiaolong recalling their voices and smiles on the stage, crying or laughing, he couldn't help crying several times, but Wan Chaoyang was still just depressed, Not a word was said, not a single tear was shed.

From the church to the cemetery, the relatives and friends who came to see them off dispersed one by one, and in the end only Xue Mu was left standing in front of the tombstone with Wan Chaoyang and Ge Min. Only then did he suddenly realize that Ge Min hadn't shed tears either.

"Thank you for your help." Ge Min said in a low voice.

"It should." Wan Chaoyang also replied in a low voice. What he lost was only a mother, but for Ge Min, who had already lost his mother in childhood, what he lost was almost his parents. "Thank you for notifying me."

Ge Min nodded, stopped being polite to him, looked at the tombstone, and said: "Aunt Cui is a very good person, but I never called him mom, this is my biggest regret. You were raised by her I am very lucky to grow up, and I envy you."

Wan Chaoyang didn't speak, staring at Cui Lijun's photo, lost in thought.

Ge Min looked up at Xue Mu and asked, "Are you Chaoyang's boyfriend?"

Xue Mu was taken aback, and nodded quickly, Ge Min forced the corners of his lips to rise, and said, "It's a pity that Aunt Cui doesn't know...she will definitely like you if she sees you."

Hearing this, Xue Mu couldn't help turning his eyes red, tried his best to smile, and didn't know what to say, so he could only answer: "Thank you."

However, Wan Chaoyang's heart suddenly throbbed violently, his nose felt sour, and a hot stream rushed into his eyes. Ge Min looked at his expression, then turned his head to look at the tombstone, knowing that he had something to say to Cui Lijun , then sighed and said: "I'll go back first, you have worked hard these past few days, and you have to go back to China tomorrow, so go back to the hotel to rest early, I won't accompany you for dinner."

Xue Mu watched Ge Min's back gradually walk away, then looked at Wan Chaoyang's red eyes, and asked Chi Chi, "I...do I need to avoid it?"

Wan Chaoyang looked up at Xue Mu in a daze for a long time, shook his head and said, "No...you...you come here..."

Hearing this, Xue Mu walked up to Wan Chaoyang in doubt. Wan Chaoyang raised his trembling hand to hold Xue Mu, moved his Adam's apple, and said with a sob, "Mom...this is Xue Mu...it's my boyfriend ..."

Xue Mu's heart trembled, and his eyes immediately became wet again. He secretly glanced at Wan Chaoyang, only to see tears finally rolling down his face.

"Mom...he is me...I told you back then...the person I want to marry..." Wan Zhaoyang couldn't hold back his tears while talking, "I wanted to introduce him to you back then Yes...but...but I think I should let my dad know first...now...now my dad knows...you here...but it's too late..."

Wan Chaoyang cried more and more sadly, Xue Mu quickly turned sideways and hugged him, his own tears couldn't stop falling down.

"Mom...you said...wish me to be like a man...to take on my responsibilities...but I...I didn't do it...I've been avoiding...I dare not tell you my true self Life...I let Xue Mu down...I also let you down..."

"Don't say that... Chaoyang..." Xue Mu cried, "I never blamed you..."

"Mom...you said...as long as I like...you are satisfied...I brought you Xue Mu...I like him very much...I want to spend the rest of my life with him...you...you I'll like him too... right..."

Choking, sobbing, finally turned into a loud cry, Xue Mu hugged Wan Chaoyang tightly, weeping with him, hoping that his not generous arms could give him some strength.A gust of spring breeze blew by, and the newly born flowers and plants swayed gently. In this cemetery filled with death and sorrow, they still worked hard to exude the fragrance of life.

Question 120, the second question, the purpose of my life is to live vividly

After returning to Beijing and adjusting the time difference, it has been a week since Wan Chaoyang came out to Wan Shuqing. I was so shocked that I couldn't get up the energy to talk about it.

Of course, what makes Wan Chaoyang even more difficult is to announce Cui Lijun's death to Cui Jianguang and Jiang Shuqin. For Cui Jianguang, who has already experienced a cerebral thrombosis, he really doesn't know how much damage such a blow will cause him. The half of the body that has just recovered but has not yet fully recovered, if it is so agitated, all previous efforts will be wasted.

But escaping is not the answer after all, no matter how headache you have to face it, especially after losing this opportunity forever before coming out to Cui Lijun in time, Wan Chaoyang has a deeper understanding of such things. I met Jiang Shuqin alone, and opened a quiet box in a restaurant near the hospital, and told her first.

No one can accept such an accident, let alone Jiang Shuqin, who lost her daughter. After the initial shock and suspicion, denial and resistance, she quickly abandoned her dignified and prudent behavior and broke down crying for a while. While crying, she complained that Cui Lijun should not have gone to the United States and ended up dying in a foreign country. By the way, she severely criticized the chaotic law and order in the United States, and made some very racially discriminatory remarks.

Xue Mu and Wan Chaoyang had no other choice but to cry with him and comfort him repeatedly, until Jiang Shuqin finally cried a few times, finished venting, and gradually regained her senses, seeing that she was at least not to the point of needing to see a doctor, I was relieved.

Jiang Shuqin wiped her face, stroked her hair again, regained some of her usual demeanor, and said, "Don't tell your grandpa, his body will definitely not be able to accept it."

Wan Chaoyang nodded and said, "I know, but...sooner or later we have to talk..."

Jiang Shuqin sighed, and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll tell him slowly...how is your dad?"

Wan Chaoyang replied: "He... is he okay... I've been calling him every other day for the past two days, and we don't talk about it, but listening to his voice, apart from being not very emotional, don't worry about it. It's okay."

Jiang Shuqin nodded slowly, and then said: "Let's do this, you lie with me, say that your mother is sick and hospitalized, and then we will infiltrate him bit by bit, and finally... In the end, let’s say I couldn’t be saved…”

"Is this possible..." Wan Zhaoyang hesitated, "The longer you hide this, the bigger the lie, the more flaws you will have..."

Jiang Shuqin shook her head and said, "Otherwise, what should I do? Your grandfather was a soldier all his life, and his daughter was finally shot and killed by robbers in the United States?!" Jiang Shuqin's voice trembled as she spoke, and her tears rolled down again fell down.

Seeing her like this, Wan Chaoyang couldn't bear to say anything more, so Xue Mu could only intervene: "Grandma... This method is really not good. Grandpa's character, if he knows that Auntie is sick, or he doesn't believe in American hospitals, he will definitely let her go. Auntie returns to the country, or he is worried about Auntie's situation, and he must go to the United States to see it. Even if it doesn't make it to this point, he must ask to make a phone call or make a video call with Auntie, right? It won't be resolved by then. .”

Jiang Shuqin frowned and looked at Xue Mu, she pursed her lips and said nothing, she didn't like Xue Mu in the first place, and she was even more unhappy when she saw that he was still involved in their housework.

Knowing Jiang Shuqin's attitude towards Xue Mu, Wan Chaoyang looked at her face, gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma, I think Xue Mu is right. There are some things that can't be hidden. Lying to maintain superficial peace, in the end It can only cause more harm, I don't want to lie, and I don't want to hide it from you, Xue Mu and I──"

"Chaoyang!"

"──The two of us are in a relationship, and we are going to buy a house together and live together."

"Chaoyang!"

Xue Mu kept yelling, but he didn't stop Wan Chaoyang. Wan Chaoyang told the truth in one breath, ignoring Jiang Shuqin's stunned look, and continued, "I should have told you about this a long time ago. , we have been fine since the third year of high school, and it has been seven years now. Most people say that we should have gotten married after such a long time, but we just can’t get married now──but isn’t the two sessions coming to an end soon? I heard that same-sex marriage will happen this year If it passes, we will get married."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jiang Shuqin patted the table in shock and anger.

"I know this matter is difficult to accept and understand, but it is the truth. I am not asking for your consent when I tell you this matter, but just to inform you about the situation," Wan Chaoyang continued, "I also know that telling you about my mother will definitely make you more unacceptable, but since it's already like this, let's just tell you the 'bad news' together. I'm really tired, I don't want to pretend to be single anymore, to pretend to be a classmate, friend, or partner with Xue Mu, he is my boyfriend, he is my lover, and I want to spend my whole life with him." Wan Chaoyang said while resolutely Xue Mu's hand reached the top of the table, and grabbed it tightly.

Hearing these words, Xue Mu was moved, but looking at Jiang Shuqin's expression, he was really uneasy.

Jiang Shuqin stared at the hands tightly held by the two, coughed a few times excitedly, her face flushed, her chest heaved violently, and said angrily while patting the table: "You! You are really going to piss me off! What crime did your grandpa and I do! Daughter and daughter were shot to death! Grandson and grandson became gay! I really regret it! I shouldn’t have agreed to your mother marrying your father 30 years ago! Giving birth to you such a bastard! She will not divorce and go to the United States! God! What did I do wrong!!!”

The mood that had just calmed down became hysterical again, and compared to the sadness just now, this time it was more anger. Jiang Shuqin completely abandoned the dissatisfaction that she had deliberately suppressed in front of Xue Mu, and counted the two people in front of her inside and out. An ignorant child even said that it was because Wan Chaoyang did such an unethical thing that Cui Lijun died violently and in vain.

Although Xue Mu respected Jiang Shuqin, he also knew that he shouldn't talk too much, but hearing her hurt Wan Chaoyang's heart so much, he couldn't help it anymore, and spoke back a few words to defend Wan Chaoyang.

When Jiang Shuqin heard Xue Mu's retort, she became even more angry, venting the grief of losing her daughter and the anger of her grandson's rebellion on Xue Mu.

Xue Mu restrained himself with politeness and upbringing, and didn't want to turn this matter into a meaningless quarrel, but Wan Chaoyang couldn't see Xue Mu being angry with Jiang Shuqin, so he helped Xue Mu to talk back against Jiang Shuqin.

The two children took turns talking back to Jiang Shuqin, and the more she talked, the more annoyed she was. Finally, she threw her chopsticks and angrily grabbed her bag and rushed out the door. He had no choice but to escort her back to the downstairs of the house with a distance of a few steps, resulting in a complete unhappiness.

Although Xue Mu expected that coming out of the closet would not be so smooth, seeing Jiang Shuqin's gaffe, he still felt disappointed. On the way home, Wan Chaoyang didn't say a word, just tapped on his mobile phone endlessly , and before he got home, Zheng Daqian called, Xue Mu pressed the speakerphone, and Zheng Daqian's voice rushed out from the microphone: "What's going on, you guys! Come out suddenly? Chaoyang, is he okay?! Why is his mother gone all of a sudden!"

Wan Chaoyang cleared his throat and said, "Big Qian, Xue Mu is driving, and he is using the speakerphone."

Zheng Daqian was obviously taken aback, and then hurriedly said: "Ah... Chaoyang... What's wrong with you... Auntie? Is it a sudden illness or an accident? You... Your condolences... How about having dinner together tonight?"

"No, there will be a live broadcast tonight." Wan Chaoyang replied lightly.

Xue Mu was startled, and secretly glanced at Wan Chaoyang. His live broadcast has been interrupted since Cui Lijun passed away. Although he usually likes to play games for entertainment, he has not even had the motivation to play games to adjust his mood in the past two weeks. , but did not expect to decide to broadcast live so suddenly.

"Okay...then...then tell us something...Ji...sorry..."

Back home, Wan Chaoyang quickly turned on the computer and started the live broadcast. Xue Mu turned on the phone in a daze and looked at the many WeChat messages sent by Zheng Daqian. Half an hour before I saw Wan Chaoyang, I posted a kissing photo of the two of them taking a selfie when they were out and about, with the words──

"Things are impermanent, and my mother's sudden departure made me understand that if I don't say some things now, I may never have the chance to say them. I am gay, and I have a lover who I love. If I get your blessing, I am grateful. If Ling You're disgusted, I'm sorry. But I'm me, you can't take it, and you don't have to be friends from now on."

Xue Mu was dumbfounded, and quickly opened other social software. On FB, Renren and other real-name websites, as well as Instagram, where he had already posted selfies, he posted the same photo and text, while on Twitter, Weibo, etc. On the website where SUN spoke in the name of the event, he simply sent a plain text message──

"To all viewers and players who like SUN: 1. I am a gay; 2. Warsong will be broadcast live in one hour."

"I have nothing to explain," Wan Chaoyang looked at the densely packed barrage flying across the screen, and lightly dialed the microphone and earphones, "I'm just disclosing my sexual orientation, there's nothing special about it. I won’t answer anymore, I’m not in a good state now, I’ll play a few assists.”

Xue Mu wanted to ask Wan Chaoyang what was going on, but he was hesitant because he was afraid of disturbing his live broadcast, but Xie Jiangtao called him.

"Xue Mu, what's going on with Chaoyang? Why did you suddenly come out? You also came out as SUN? Have you discussed with Zhange?"

"I still want to know... why don't you ask him..."

"His phone is off!"

"Ah? Damn...!"

After Wan Chaoyang suddenly came out of the closet, he turned off the phone and played the live broadcast of the game for four or five hours. Poor Xue Mu kept answering one call after another, from colleagues to relatives and friends, from Red Sun to Battle Song. For four or five hours, even Li Xiaomei, who hadn't been in contact with her for a long time, took the initiative to call to care, and even many website editors also called, wanting to interview this "first openly gay game anchor".

It wasn't until the two of them finished their "work" exhaustedly that they finally calmed down and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"You...what do you mean..."

"I just figured it out suddenly. My dad and I are also out, and my grandma is also out. In the whole world, there is nothing I can't tell."

"You went out with them...but they didn't accept it..." Xue Mu said, suddenly remembered Wan Shuqing's attitude that he didn't know yet, so he hurriedly asked, "Your dad accepted?"

Wan Chaoyang shook his head, "I just finished talking to him, and you came in before he answered me. But I don't care if he accepts it or not, anyway, I've made it clear, so what if I don't accept it? ?”

Xue Mu sighed softly. Although he understood what he meant, he still felt extremely helpless. He raised his eyes to look at Wan Chaoyang, took his hand and said, "I know you are very sorry because you didn't tell your mother. ...but...well, forget it, the water that was thrown out after speaking is already like this...then let's do it..."

Wan Chaoyang tried his best to raise the corners of his mouth. After Cui Lijun had been away for so long, he no longer remembered how to smile, but he still managed to smile and said, "I'm not too excited about my mother or something. I really understand, we have been together for seven years, in fact, before we were together, your parents already knew about it, but I still waited until last year before I dared to formally meet them, and my family has not been together until now. It has not been fully disclosed yet. I know you tolerate me and don’t blame me, but in fact I have been avoiding it all the time. My mother’s incident really makes me very regretful. She didn’t know it until she left. In fact, I have a love For so many years, people don't know that my lover is a boy.
