On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

After watching the movie, they all felt a little wilted. Yu Wangxi drank water in big gulps, as if to replenish the water that had been lost.

Chen Qian was silent for a long time. Yu Wangxi could see that he had something to say, but he thought he was going to talk about his thoughts after watching the movie.

But what Chen Qian actually wanted to talk about were profound and big issues.

He wanted to try to talk to him about the difficulties that his sexual orientation might cause, which he had been unable to face and kept secret from his parents.

Ke Wu and Qi Yu have been together for a while. They love each other. Apart from the issue of their fiancée, their road to a happy marriage can be said to be smooth sailing. Even their parents quickly accepted it.

But because they were too successful, they encountered criticism several times. Chen Qian once heard others talking about them, and the words they said were very unpleasant.

Yu Wangxi's former roommate's extreme example was still fresh in his mind. He felt that the future was illusory and the road ahead was shrouded in fog. He couldn't imagine whether his parents would accept him. If they couldn't accept him, would they simply give up on him? Or would they try to correct themselves again and again?

He needs someone to help him, or rather, to give him a push.

At present, Yu Wangxi has become a good choice.

"How... did you come out to your family?" His expression was so serious that Yu Wangxi subconsciously straightened up and sat up straight.

"Ah? Me? I just confessed my feelings to the guy I liked, and then we got together, so I got carried away and went home to tell my parents.

"They didn't agree, and I hadn't been with that guy for long. I was really too young. If I had known earlier, I would have told them later to give my parents more time to accept it." Yu Wangxi still remembers the joy and sadness of that day, but he felt relieved when he talked about it.

He succeeded in confessing his love in the afternoon, and immediately told his parents that he had a boyfriend when he returned home for dinner. His original intention was to share his happiness, but the result was not so good.

The silence of the meal made him depressed.

His parents didn't say much, just asking him to sort it out as soon as possible, but their eyes said too much. They pretended not to hear his explanation and urged him to stop and pretend it never happened. Later, they simply remained silent, neither testing him, nor accepting him, and certainly not trying to change him.

It was like he was suddenly abandoned.

He stayed in a quiet room. His parents rarely showed up at home. They were avoiding each other.

Then, when he discovered that his boyfriend was cheating on him, he spread rumors that he was behaving badly and mocked him with intimate photos.

The pain of betrayal and the depressing atmosphere at home made him breathless and almost collapsed.

He actually didn't have very deep feelings for his ex-boyfriend. The betrayal made him sad, but that was all. He was just the opportunity for action, not the target, and the subsequent harm was dealt with in time by his brother.

The attitude at home was even heavier, so heavy that it seemed to be crushing him.

"When I thought I was going to be sick, my parents accepted me, but there is still something between us. It seems that we can't go back to the time before that meal." He heard his own voice, and slowly it seemed like he was telling someone else's story, a story he had never told before, and no one had ever asked him about it.

So he spoke slowly and awkwardly.

Chen Qian didn't expect that there were rotten green leaves under the roots of the sunflower. He couldn't respond for a moment, so he put his thoughts aside and remained silent.

"If you're going to do this, lay the groundwork. I think your family has the right to know, whether they accept it or not.

"And you must be clear when looking for a man! That dog said outside that I was his bootlicker, and that I was harassing him and forcing him for money. Screw him!" Yu Wangxi quickly pulled himself out of it and became his old self, angrily scolding the scumbag with full energy.

Crying and cursing naturally consumed his energy. Soon, Yu Wangxi's voice gradually became weaker. He couldn't open his eyes and urged Chen Qian to fall asleep.

On a warm afternoon, in the balmy sun, after experiencing great ups and downs in emotions, taking a nap is a very good thing, and it will make even your dreams sweet.

At least that's how Chen Qian feels.

He saw Chi Mu waiting for him at the other end of the road, holding his hand and walking forward, telling him that no matter what happened, he would be with him unwaveringly, encouraging him to be brave and do what he wanted to do and love whoever he wanted to love...

Chen Qian was about to kiss Chi Mu in his dream when the phone rang. The ringing was incessant and too noisy for him to ignore.

Unable to open his eyes, he groped on the bed and found the loudly noisy cell phone. Squinting his eyes, he could only make out the red and green lights, so he slid it open and put it to his ear.

"Xiao Qian." Chi Mu's voice exploded in his ears.

I'm a super sober artifact.

"Chi...Brother Chi Mu." His voice was inevitably a little hoarse as he had just woken up. Chen Qian held the phone away and coughed twice to clear his throat.

"What are you doing now? Are you free tonight?" It was a gentle voice, but Chen Qian couldn't help but think of the scene in his dream. How shameful! He had such a dream, and when he woke up, he had to call the person involved. A strange sense of guilt hit him. Help!

Chen Qian's mind was in a mess, and he stumbled, "Yes, you need to find me if you have something to say, right?"

"Would it be convenient for you to have dinner with me tonight?"

"Okay, where should we go eat?" Chi Mu's joyful mood jumped out between his words. The corners of his mouth curled up and his voice was clear: "I'll pick you up. Wait for me, okay?"

Chen Qian's heart, which had been pounding all the way, finally died the moment he entered the private room. Oh my god, there were so many people. So this wasn't the kind of meal you could have just for two...

"Xiao Qian, let's sit here." Chi Mu pulled out the armchair, gently held Chen Qian's arm, led him into the seat, and then sat down on the left.

Chen Qian felt a little awkward. Because he had been to Chi Mu's company before, there were many familiar faces here. He knew at a glance that it was a company team building. Why did they bring him here? He leaned close to Chi Mu's ear and whispered, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that we were having dinner at your company?"

"Then you'll reject my invitation, right?" Chi Mu followed his lead, leaning closer to his ear and whispering softly. His breath brushed against his ear, bringing a tingling sensation. Despite his gentle smile, Chen Qian sensed he was being naughty. He reached out to touch his itchy ear, but his hand was restrained. A gentle breeze caressed his ear again, "Don't reject me."

Chen Qian knew that her face must have flushed red. What did she say all of a sudden? She hurriedly took two sips of the drink to cool down. When she finally felt the temperature drop, she heard Chi Mu's laughter: "Xiao Qian is still as cute as when she was a child."

Chen Qian felt a sudden buzzing sensation in his head, and the heat rose sharply.

Before they knew it, their table was full. Almost all of them were brothers and sisters that they knew from junior high school. Sitting next to him was Wu Zhefan, so after the meal, Chen Qian was not as reserved as he had been when he first sat down.

Although they hadn't been together for a long time, they still treated him as their little brother. They served him food first and chatted with him warmly. There was no strangeness between them, just like many years ago.

So he ate very well and was in a good mood.
