Jiang Wang couldn't go out for a while.

    An adult being ridiculed in public is extremely self-respecting, not to mention the slap in the face.

    "What's the use of just rushing here? Your father is so worried about it!" The woman looked old and miserable, and tried her best to vent all the pressure of life on Ji Linqiu: "It's all for my sake. After all, you still have no expression at all—you monster!"

    Ji Linqiu moved, as if she heard what she actually wanted to say.

    "You came to the provincial capital without telling me this time, in fact, to give me a blind date, right." He said lightly: "I just stayed at my sister's house for two days and suffered a brain hemorrhage in the middle of the night, also because of me ?"

    The elderly mother Ji gave him a hard look.

    "We saved money for you to go to college, not to see your face now!"

    "Dad is in the intensive care unit now," Ji Linqiu's voice became cold: "You still want me to leave him on a blind date, are you serious?"

    The woman hissed and rushed forward to poke him on the shoulder.

    "Ji Linqiu, you are already 30 years old, do you know?? Is there something wrong with you and you are not married yet??"

    "Your father will be asked as a joke by the leading colleagues during the New Year's holiday in the unit, and your mother will be asked by them when she returns to her parents' house. One or two think we don't treat you as a son."

    "Did we owe you anything? Did we make any excessive demands?? We just want you to live like a normal person!"

    Ji Linqiu was still looking at the figures in the ward. For a while, she seemed to filter out all the negative emotions she exerted, and said lightly, "Got it."

    His sister was helpless and aggrieved by the side, but she never dared to participate in their conversation from beginning to end, as if she had acquiesced to a foreigner.

    "Tomorrow at noon, you go to have dinner with the daughter of Uncle Tong's house. They are a family of professors from the scholarly family. They will give our old Ji family a fight!"

     

    Ji Linqiu suddenly pulled her arm back and looked at her coldly.

    "You are herding cattle."

     "What's the matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up and let you hold your grandson?"

    Mother Ji's face became pale and pale, Jiang Wang had a premonition that the situation would not be rushed to save the scene, and the stern nurse also appeared at the same time.

    "What's the noise? This is the inpatient department, how many patients need to rest!"

    "Trouble you guys have something to say, I'll call the security if you make trouble again!"

    "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it," Ji's mother changed back to her previous humble look, as if she had never lost her temper just now: "I'm sorry, it's really for you Trouble."

    Jiang Wang walked among them, seemingly unintentionally keeping Ji Linqiu behind, smiling politely.

    "Mr. Ji and I took turns driving the car all night, and going to eat without sleeping for a while at noon, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get well."

    Mother Ji is very cooperative in other matters, but she insists on this kind of thing.

    "Such an opportunity will never be missed. Sleeping after eating is also good for the stomach!"

    "What chance?" Ji Linqiu raised his eyes and said, "Is there no chance to climb the branch and insert the door?"

     

    It was blocked by the man's two fingers.

    "Auntie, it's not suitable." Jiang Wangpi said with a smile: "You also said that he is going to run three times."

    Mother Ji sighed heavily and seamlessly switched back to the grudge mode, babbling about how difficult it was for herself.

    Jiang Wang was tired of hearing this, and only evaded that the hospitalization procedures had not been completed, and dragged Ji Linqiu to the doctor's office for a temporary clean.

    After about an hour or two, it was dawn, and my brother-in-law, Kuang Ye, who was in the hospital, also rushed over.

    This guy is tall and looks like a brown bear, and he punched Jiang Wang as soon as they met.

    "You're so cool! Toss me in the middle of the night!"

    Jiang Wang smiled and said, "We are deeply in love, so we should get things done."

    He turned slightly and introduced each other to his friends.

    "This is Teacher Ji, a person I respect very much."

    "This is Kuang Ye, a friend I know in business, who is very well-connected in the provincial capital."

    Ji Linqiu greeted him politely, and Kuang Ye shook his hand carelessly.

     

    Ji Linqiu didn't sleep well all night, and he was a little shaken when he bowed.

    "It's really troublesome, I'll invite you to dinner tonight."

    As the name suggests, Kuangye people are very wild. If they have money, they ride a motorcycle all day.

    Jiang Wang knew that it would be safe to entrust him with this matter. When he turned to look after his factory business, he also made a few jokes and brought Ji Mu and the others to meet him.

     

    He was uncomfortable, and looked sympathetic when he saw Ji Linqiu.

    "Are you really going?"

     

    "Hey, can I follow?"

    Ji Linqiu was stunned and nodded in agreement.

    "That's good," he seemed to finally be relieved: "It's all girls with female companions, and I'm the first to enjoy this treatment."

    Mother Ji was satisfied as long as she saw her son let go of agreeing to a blind date, and worried that it would affect Jiang Wang's rest, so she pretended to be polite.

    "My son, I have never dared to get too close to girls since I was a child. Maybe I used to be too strict. I stared at him all day long for fear of puppy love." Ji Mu wiped her eyes, like It was he who had suffered 12 shares alone: ​​"It's good to have friends like you with me now, or it's good to be cheerful at last."

     

    The restaurant is quite upscale. It is located in the revolving restaurant on the 22nd floor of the five-star hotel. When you look out, you can glimpse the high-altitude landscape of the whole city.

    Crystal lamps swirl and hang like shells, and there are no creases on the crimson velvet tablecloth.

    The girl is twenty-five this year, and the pearl earrings are flickering, and she is very delicately dressed.

    However, looking at the smirking expression of the female partner beside her, there is a high probability that she was forced by her parents.

    The good dishes were served one by one during the banquet, Jiang Wang ate slowly, and his attention was basically on Ji Linqiu.

    He found this man really interesting.

    Men are almost like bears. When they meet a good-looking girl, they can't help but look at their chest and buttocks, but the degree of disguise is different.

    Jiang Wang observed for a while, and found that Ji Linqiu was always distracted and didn't even look at the other girl.

    Even if people go to the bathroom halfway, they don't even bother to look at their slender legs.

    No, are you really afraid of women?

     

    Jun is actually very fond of the two little girls.

    The female companion of the blind date originally wanted to be the background board, but she couldn't help chatting, and even held her face and focused on Ji Linqiu.

    The **** the opposite side was more interested in Jiang Wang, and when the meal was over, she specifically asked if he was single.

    "The second marriage has a child," Jiang Wang was also afraid of disturbing the good things of the yellow family, so he refused with a smile: "The child is eight years old."

    The girl expressed her deep regret and left with a few words of emotion in her arms.

    They spent a total of four days in the provincial capital.

    I was arranged to have three blind dates in four days, either for dinner or for coffee, but only at night to watch the old man.

    Ji Linqiu always has a sense of distance and is very polite to girls.

    One of them was slightly tempted, and he politely avoided him.

    Jiang Wang saw something, and he went to the small garden in the hospital to get some air between the hospital beds.

    The small garden is not big, at this moment only two or three elderly people are pushed out in wheelchairs for a walk.

    The sun fell on them in the afternoon, and the mottled light spots were a little messy.

    "What's the matter, I'm in a bad mood." Jiang Wang walked slowly with him with a cigarette in his mouth, feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of his previous life: "Those relatives gossiping or something... Just for a sense of superiority.”

    "They are all married and have children, so they can compare and give some pointers on this kind of thing."

    "But...are you deliberately avoiding girls?"

    Ji Linqiu stood under the plane tree, looked at him for a while and said, "Teach me to smoke."

    Jiang Wang is noncommittal: "It's not a good thing, don't learn."

    Ji Linqiu stared at him.

    Jiang Wang sighed, and handed him the white sand he just took two puffs, so as not to waste good things.

    "Inhale, then exhale through your nose, don't choke."

    Ji Linqiu hesitated for two seconds, taking the cigarette and still looking at it.

    "I hate my saliva," Jiang Wang was too lazy to care about these, and was used to being bold in the barracks: "Wait, I'll order you another one."

    Ji Linqiu shook his head and took a deep breath.

    Then he suddenly choked into his lungs, his eyes reddened by the smell of tar, he covered his mouth and coughed.

    His grievance looks good.

    He seems to be very bullying and stubborn.

    If you cough hard, your eyelashes will drip with tears, and the sound of breathing will be broken.

    Jiang Wang took the cigarette and took another puff to show him.

    "Nose, look at me."

     

   

    Jiang Wang looked at his former teacher and repeated deep breaths for the first and second times, the movements gradually became proficient, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

    He suddenly realized that Ji Linqiu was also an ordinary person.

    An ordinary person who is dazed and irritable when dealing with family relations like him.

    He always looks at him with a halo, intentionally or not, and Ji Linqiu is so handy in taking care of children, sometimes it gives Jiang Wang the illusion that he can handle everything.

    After the filter was broken, he felt closer, and even had a kind of sympathy when he met the same kind.

    Ji Linqiu smoked Jiang Wang's whole white sand, pressed the cigarette **** into the gravel bowl of the garbage can, and threw it into the basket of hazardous garbage.

    Jiang Wang witnessed the whole process and thought that a good teacher is really a good teacher, so he probably pressed on the tree and turned around and left.

    He asked when they went back.

    “How are you feeling?”

    "Dizzy." Ji Linqiu sighed: "I won't smoke in this life."

    Jiang Wang laughed.

    The old man woke up in the afternoon after the operation, but he was very tired and his words became less.

    After he was transferred from the ICU, Ji's mother stayed there for the whole process, and her daughter was responsible for stewing soup and medicine at home, taking care of him diligently.

    The old lady is like a strict housekeeper, reporting everything to him every day.

    Although Father Ji is not very able to move, he will squint his eyes and listen, then nod his head and shake his head heavily.

    At this time, Mother Ji will look back at Ji Linqiu with tears in her eyes.

    Jiang Wang didn't have much family memory in his two or three lifetimes, and he also felt his scalp tightening while watching the situation on Ji Linqiu's side for two or three days.

    Fuck, this is too suffocating.

    Before they left, they went on a blind date for the fourth time, and they went back to the city after eating.

    This time, a second-married woman with a four-year-old child sat opposite the child. The child was either shouting to hear the story or poking the dishes with chopsticks. The two of them reluctantly smiled and accompany them, quietly packing two servings The hamburger and chicken wings were hidden from the Ji family.

      Mom is most worried about you, and the family has money to marry you a wife, and we keep all the dowry your sister received back then."

     "Cook well at home by yourself, go to bed early and change your homework, don't be too late, and be obedient."

    Ji Linqiu agreed perfunctorily and waved goodbye to his family.

    Jiang Wang didn't recover until he drove the car into the high speed, feeling like he was taking Teacher Ji away from the clutches.

    They could have gone home at three o'clock in the afternoon to have dinner together, but it was already evening when they returned, and it was estimated that they would arrive late at night.

    There are many sections of the national highway without lights, and it is very troublesome to walk by relying on the lights to guide the way.

    The traffic broadcast rambles about today's news, the sound of hunting wind is outside the window, and the world suddenly becomes a boring straight line.

    Jiang Wang noticed that Ji Linqiu had not made a sound, worried that he was in a bad mood, and spoke to comfort him.

    "My parents left early, in fact, I would still envy you a little, after all I was able to accompany them." The man tried his best not to poke at his difficulties: "But...don't say something nice about others. , put yourself in it for the rest of your life."

    "Even if you are married, they can't gossip, have children late, and whether the children's grades are good or not, they can still dictate."

    Ji Linqiu hummed softly.

    He likes to lean against the car window in a daze, but this posture will reveal his slender neck and look extra fragile.

    "It's good to have a good eye. It's fine. I'll go back and find some suitable ones for you. Let's play with each other first."

    "No more."

    "Jiang Wang," Ji Linqiu looked into the dark distance, her voice flat: "I'm gay."

    The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "What's the matter, little thing."

    He didn't expect this to be the case.

    Jiang Wang received a lot of clients in his past life, and he did meet many GAYs.

    He doesn't show any shyness, even if the women or men tease him in front of him, and the conversation is as natural as a couple.

    He didn't bother to think about why some people like people of the same gender, but there was still a subtle conflict in his heart.

    I just never thought about it,

    In such a close place, the teacher who I value and is close to is also gay.

    He wanted to persuade Ji Linqiu to open up for a moment, but soon realized that this was a very arrogant idea.

    —It seems that men choose to be with the same **** when they really can’t live with women.

    To say 'it's okay, I don't discriminate', or 'are you afraid of women' will turn into taunts of unknown color.

    After thinking about it, in the end, she was very cautious and said something euphemistically.

    "Stay safe."

    Ji Linqiu understood what he was saying, just shook his head and smiled.

    "Don't pay attention."

    "I'm a man, but I can't get close to women."

    "I'm **** but hate men touching me."

    "After thinking about it, maybe I'm nothing and shouldn't exist from the beginning."

    Jiang Wang's eyes froze, realizing that Ji Linqiu said that he had never been in love at all, meaning that he had never had intimate contact with men or women.

    "No way..." He slowed down and finally turned to look at Ji Linqiu: "You don't need to force yourself into this."

    "In fact, if I dare to tell any parent that I am gay, I don't want a job, and even the landlord won't rent me a house."

    When Ji Linqiu mentioned this, there was a kind of detached peace, as if he was not talking about himself at all.

    "Did you... have something bad happen to you?"

    "No," he said slowly: "It's just that when I'm touched by other men, my mind will immediately remind me that I'm GAY."

    "And that thought was enough to make me hate myself."

    "I've been to Qingba, and I've met some similar people."

     "Someone hides carefully and discreetly, and even forces himself to marry a woman and have the same room."

    "There are also people who choose to play and indulge directly. They are on the way to **** and be **** every day, and there are endless covers in their bags."

    Ji Linqiu was a bit self-sacrificing when he said this. He was probably suppressed by his family so hard these days that he had to say it at the risk of losing Jiang Wang as a friend.

    "I don't look like anyone."

    "I am like a wild goose that strays and flies south every winter, Jiang Wang, have you seen it?"

    "I'm lost, I'm lost, I don't know where to go when I fly north, and I can't go back to the south."

    "Jiang Wang, I am that goose."

    Jiang Wang turned to look at him again, slowly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car, his voice low.

    "Mr. Ji, will you feel sick if I touch you?"

    In fact, he touched it when we first met, but Ji Linqiu avoided it.

    Xingxing was asleep at the teacher's house that day, and Ji Linqiu had wet hair stained with ash on the wall when he delivered it all the way to the house. He wanted to help brush it off.

    Just didn't expect it to be like this.

    Jiang Wang deliberately omitted this memory and proposed again as if he had never tried it.

    "Maybe it's just overthinking things, and things aren't that complicated."

    Ji Linqiu lowered her eyebrows in silence and nodded for a while.

    "I will touch your shoulder," the man said gently: "Don't be afraid, I will wait for you to relax before putting the whole palm on it."

    Ji Linqiu was already breathing hard, and nodded again tamely.

    The body has begun to tremble slightly.

    Jiang Wang moved very slowly, under his gaze, he stretched out his hand and approached his shoulder little by little.

    Then I felt Ji Linqiu's body trembling even more.

    "Relax," he laughed: "It's not the end of the world, we all have to go to work tomorrow."

    "I put my finger down."

    His palms were dry and warm, covering his shoulders with the gentle smell of a beast, which was the spread of temperature from point to surface.

    Then silently count for five seconds, then slowly remove.

    Ji Linqiu took a deep breath.

    "It's me being hypocritical." He laughed at himself: "That's right, I usually get patted on the shoulder by the leader, and some like to hug people."

    The car moved slowly, Jiang Wang turned up the radio again, as if nothing happened just now.

    "You know what I'm thinking?"

    "I don't know." Ji Linqiu's defense mechanism has not been lifted yet, so he lowered his eyes and said, "When most people hear the word gay, their first reaction is AIDS and messing around."

    "Not really," Jiang Wang yawned: "I thought, well, I'm finally equal to you."

    "Equality?" Ji Linqiu didn't expect him to use this word.

    "I used to always look up to you, I felt that you understood everything and seemed to have no weaknesses." Jiang Wang laughed, feeling very naive: "I used to watch you take care of Xingxing. Looking too much, I feel that I and the children have a bunch of stinky problems, and you are fine everywhere."

    "It turns out that Teacher Ji will be so embarrassed by his family that he can't speak, and can't wait for eighty blind dates a day."

    "Oh, I'm suddenly a lot closer."

    Ji Linqiu couldn't help laughing.

    "Look at your schadenfreude."

    Jiang Wang didn't want him to be sad, so he changed the subject casually.

    "By the way, I bought a new house."

    "Building?"

     "Well, I picked up the leaks and copied the low price, and built a small villa with a yard." He was happy again, and put all his unhappiness behind him: "You can dig a small pond to raise it. If you raise koi, you can also make a swing for Peng Xingwang."

    Ji Linqiu was fascinated, and from time to time corrected some of his fanciful fantasies.

    We were having a good chat when Peng Xingwang called.

    "Hey—big brother—"

    "I haven't slept yet," Jiang Wang was used to this child coming out at any time to post: "Did you have fun at summer camp?"

    "Today we went chasing rabbits! We almost did!"

    Jiang Wang vaguely felt that something was wrong, explained that he was still driving, and asked Ji Linqiu to chat with him.

    The child did not expect that he would be able to chat with his dearest teacher Ji, and the sweetness of his voice instantly jumped ten points.

    "Mr. Ji! I miss you so much! I also made you a great gift, you wait for me to bring it back to you in a few days!"

    As soon as Ji Linqiu heard Peng Xingwang's call, he unconsciously relaxed, and the corners of his eyes and brows were smiling.

    "Don't climb trees, be careful to break your arms."

    "But there are squirrels on it! I really want to touch the squirrels!"

    They chatted on the speakerphone for more than ten minutes, Jiang Wangbian listened while driving, interrupting from time to time.

    In the end, the child hung up the phone reluctantly, saying that the teacher in the camp urged him to go back to sleep.

    "Actually, I sneaked out to call you! Remember to miss me tomorrow!"

    The two men had no choice but to agree.

    When I drove home, the car seemed to be warm and the stars were bright.
