Because of Han Li's visit, almost all the topics during the meeting revolved around Han Li.

Pei Yanyu was well aware of Han Li's personality, and he was afraid that his parents would get impatient with Han Li's questions and cause him to drop the bowl and chopsticks at the banquet.But what surprised Pei Yanyu was that Han Li's attitude had always been very good, and his conversation was very appropriate, and he would make a joke from time to time, which made the two parents very happy.

Even so, Pei Yanyu could always feel that many of Han Li's words were insincere, but he acted well, so that strangers who met for the first time could not see the flaws.Pei Yanyu secretly thought that Han Li was used to acting, that's why he was like this, but his home became a stage for performances, which always made Pei Yanyu feel regretful and sad.

Pei Yanyu himself occasionally said a few words of promise, but he soon became tired.

He listened to Han Li vividly talking about life in the school, and felt that the campus he described was far from the environment he was in, but it was similar to the campus life in other people's impressions.Pei Yanyu couldn't help guessing that maybe what Han Li was talking about was the life he lived when he was studying.In this way, Pei Yanyu listened with great interest.

After the hourly news on TV ended, Wei Liuqin picked up the remote control on the side to select a channel, intending to watch the local weather forecast on time.

When the local TV station was selected, the news on this channel was not over yet.

It was supposed to be a happy and peaceful Lantern Festival night, but a shocking news was reported in the news: As of February this year, the proportion of AIDS infection among college students across the country has risen again, most of which are widely spread due to sexual behavior between gay men.

"Homosexuals are perverts!" Before the news was over, Pei Que commented decisively, "Han Li, do you think so? Men are not like men, isn't this a pervert?"

Pei Yanyu didn't know how to eat, but his heart was in his throat.

Han Li nodded in agreement, and said lightly, "There are indeed such perverts. I don't know what they are thinking. It's no different from a psychopath!"

Wei Liuqin asked in horror: "Is there such a person in your school?"

"Every school has some." Han Li pretended to say helplessly.

She was very nervous, and said worriedly: "What should I do? It's too dangerous. If I live in the same dormitory, I won't know when I got infected!"

Han Li made a comforting gesture and said, "It doesn't matter. In fact, that kind of person is usually very ostentatious, dressed like a transvestite, and you can spot it at a glance. If you see it, just stay away."

The dialogue between the two parties seemed to be very speculative, but Pei Yanyu knew that Han Li was talking nonsense following his parents' words, and Pei Yanyu's sincere appearance made Pei Yanyu's ears harsh. Displeased.

"AIDS is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. How can it be contagious if you live together?" After speaking, Pei Yanyu gave the nonsense Han Li a dissatisfied look.

"Why not live together?" Wei Liuqin was still terrified. Seeing his son so calm, he said angrily, "What if they spit into the water you drink? You didn't notice it. If you drink it again, wouldn't it be contagious?"

Han Li was taken aback for a moment, and almost had an exaggerated smile on his face.

If there were only three members of their family, Pei Yanyu would at most just smile helplessly when he heard his mother make such absurd and funny remarks.But Han Li was at home at this time, Pei Yanyu was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say, his head ached, and he said weakly: "Mom, saliva is not bodily fluid. Don't be so nervous, besides, I am not a three-year-old child anymore, Of course I will take care to protect myself. Don't worry about it."

"Your mother is right. Be careful in school. There are a lot of dubious students nowadays, and few of them study hard!" Pei Que sighed and shook his head angrily, "The world has changed. It's getting more and more chaotic. It used to be said that the school is quiet and there are no such smoky things in the society, but now it's good, the students don't study, they just play all day long, looking for novelty and excitement, that's why there are so many men. Perverted girl! You are the only seedling in our family, so be careful when wandering outside alone!"

Pei Yanyu heard familiar words again. He had heard the same words for so many years that his ears were almost callused.He nodded and saw that Han Li fell silent, feeling even more annoyed and regretful.

If he had promised Han Li to go out to meet him immediately, even eating a bowl of rice noodles at a roadside stall at this time might be more comfortable than now.It's good now, let Han Li see his parents like this, Pei Yanyu doesn't know how to explain to him in the future.

The people at the table ate quietly for a while. After reading the weather forecast, Wei Liuqin suddenly said, "It will rain tomorrow, and the temperature will drop again." It was as if the heated conversation just now had never happened.

The annual Lantern Festival Gala started on time. As in previous years, Pei Yanyu's family watched the gala in front of the TV on time.

Even in their eyes, such a party is not as good as every year, but watching the party has become a habit just like the reunion dinner on the Lantern Festival.

This year, when guests came to the house, Pei Que liked Han Li, who was well-read and knowledgeable, so he took him to drink tea after dinner.

Pei Yanyu and Wei Liuqin cleaned up the dining table together, and brought grapes and oranges to the coffee table in the living room.

Usually, Pei Yanyu's father seldom talks at home, he doesn't talk about politics with women, and Pei Yanyu has no big picture, so it's difficult to deal with his father, so Pei Que always waits for a decent guest to come to the house before Pei Que opens up the conversation box, telling the story of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign He said it over and over again, as if there was nothing he didn't know about flying in the sky or swimming in the sea.

Pei Yanyu knew that Han Li and his father were not the same kind of people, and the current situation was just a result of Han Li's tricks of pleasing guests in the past.He sat on the sofa impatiently, holding a cup of tea in his hand, watching the TV in a daze, he could hardly hear what was said in the cross talk show.

Based on Pei Yanyu's understanding of Han Li, he guessed that Han Li would not like his father, so Han Li's current sophisticated and tactful attitude was probably because of him.Thinking of this, Pei Yanyu couldn't blame Han Li for coming, but he wasn't grateful either, he just felt sorry for Han Li's "unavoidable" act happened in his own home.

Since Han Li doesn't like his parents, he should be less likely to come to the house in the future. ——The skits at the party were showing the theme that young people should often go home and watch, but Pei Yanyu had made up his mind.

After the military program at the party, Pei Que mentioned the old things during the Anti-Japanese War.

This is Pei Que's favorite topic. He talked about the merits of the top ten marshals, and even mentioned the whole story of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, as if he had personally experienced it.

Han Li kept a humble attitude, listened to the elders' high-spirited speeches, and his words were mostly approval and flattery, which made Pei Que feel like old friends at first sight and liked this young man even more.

Wei Liuqin watched the gala while listening to the two men talking about the past and the present.From time to time, in the skits or song and dance programs at the party, actors she had seen in family dramas appeared, and she shared them with her son when she was busy.

Pei Yanyu was not interested in TV shows, but watched a lot of TV series with his mother when he was at home. When his mother mentioned it, he looked carefully and it turned out to be a certain actor, but he couldn't remember the name.

After the opera show, Wei Liuqin urged Pei Yanyu and Han Li to take a shower.

Pei Yanyu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately got up and brought Han Li into the room.

The door of the room was facing the living room, and his parents were still there. Pei Yanyu couldn't close the door, so he just covered it up and looked for a change of clothes for Han Li.

"After taking a shower, let's rest. We don't need to wait until the party is over." Pei Yanyu found out his clothes, "My dad will finish watching, but my mom goes to bed at ten o'clock, so I don't need to be with my dad." After finishing speaking, he hesitated Looking at Han Li, some words came to his lips but he couldn't say them.

Han Li glanced outside to make sure that Pei Yanyu's parents couldn't see them, so he brushed his hair and smiled slightly at him.

Pei Yanyu smiled helplessly, and said, "I'll tell you where the shower gel and shampoo are, and where the hot water valve is." He thought about finding a new towel for Han Li, and finally found one in the cabinet. , and handed it to him after tearing off the label.

Pei Yanyu's family has lived in this house for more than [-] years, and the traces of time can be seen everywhere.A wet place like the bathroom is even more mottled. Not only are the water pipe connections in the corners rusted, but even the squatting toilet is inevitably stained with deposits.

The bathroom is very small, only two square meters. The shower head on the water heater has been removed, and the hot water can only be filled with a bucket before flushing.

Standing in the bathroom door, Han Li watched Pei Yanyu busy making him take a bath, and couldn't help frowning in distress.

All this was commonplace to Pei Yanyu, so he didn't feel any embarrassment.

The bathroom in Han Li's house is very large, with a sitting toilet installed, there is no danger of slipping into the toilet, although for ordinary people, even squatting toilets will not have such a danger, but Pei Yanyu still found a wooden board at this time Put it on the toilet, step on it again to make sure it is thick, and then open the hot water valve to fill the bucket with water.

"The water is very hot. I usually only fill half of it with cold water." Pei Yanyu saw Han Li's sullen expression, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Han Li shook his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "My heart hurts."

Hearing this, Pei Yanyu was stunned for a moment. In fact, this kind of life is very ordinary, not enough to attract sympathy, but Han Li has been used to pampering him since he was a child, so he felt pity for him.Thinking of this, Pei Yanyu couldn't help but think about Han Li's current situation, and wondered if he still does that kind of work in order to live a good life.

Maybe it was difficult for Han Li to adapt to the simple life for a while, but Pei Yanyu thought that as long as Han Li was willing to give up, they would gradually get better in the future.

Thinking of this, Pei Yanyu smiled, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, we will live a better life in the future. I'm about to graduate, and there's still one year left, just keep at it."

Hearing these words, Han Li couldn't laugh or cry. He clearly felt sorry for him, but it turned into his words of comfort and encouragement.Speaking of living a better life, Han Li remembered the incident where he took the exam for him, and suddenly became angry.Now it's not easy to have a fit standing at the door of the bathroom, so Han Li endured it for the time being, and responded perfunctorily, "Oh."

Pei Yanyu encouraged him with hope, but he didn't expect him to prevaricate himself like this, making Pei Yanyu wonder if he still wanted to be an MB.He felt a little dejected in his heart. Seeing that the water in the bucket was half full, he quickly turned off the water valve and said, "You should take a bath first."

Han Li's perfunctory attitude was enough to dispel all of Pei Yanyu's enthusiasm. When he returned to the room, he sat listlessly on the bed for a while, then pulled himself out of the camp bed under the bed.

It has not been used for many years, and the plastic wrapping the camp bed has been covered with dust. Pei Yanyu just tore off this layer of plastic, and it also raised a room full of dust.

Wei Liuqin heard the movement in the living room, and came in to help his son. While folding the plastic paper and sending it to the balcony, he muttered, "It's better for you two to sleep together."

Pei Yanyu was startled when he heard this, and opened the camp bed with great effort, and a lot of rust was stuck to his dusty hands.

"It needs to be wiped well." Wei Liuqin found a wet rag and wiped the iron frame of the bed two or three times, then ordered his son to wash his hands, and found a new quilt for his classmate.

The mother and son were busy inside and out for a long time, during which Pei Que walked to the door and said a few words to guide the work, and finally said: "Move the floor later."

Pei Yanyu responded, and neatly stuffed the quilt into the clean quilt cover, held the corners and shook it a few times, and the quilt was covered.

After the mother and son had been busy, the camp bed finally looked like it could sleep.

After mopping the floor, Pei Yanyu wiped off his sweat, washed the mop and dried it on the balcony.

"Yan Yu, is your classmate really an orphan?" Wei Liuqin added bedding and new sheets to the camp bed, and said curiously, "It seems that he knows a lot, and his clothes and clothes are decent, he doesn't look like a child from a poor family. "

Unexpectedly, the mother who didn't talk to Han Li very much observed so carefully. Pei Yanyu was surprised and explained: "His family is not difficult, but he has no father since he was a child, and his mother passed away a few years ago."

"Just leave some money for him?" Wei Liuqin guessed, nodded understandingly, and sighed, "It's very pitiful, there are no parents for so long."

Pei Yanyu didn't know how to respond.Their family is not a family that can accept homosexuality, not to mention that Han Li has such a background, Pei Yanyu has no confidence in his parents.Besides, why does Han Li need their sympathy?
