Reclaiming the Way of the Empire

After finally dismissing Alice, Lin Jing was allowed to comfort her.Li Ting didn't even have time to say goodbye, he was dragged and hugged by Ren Pingsheng, and abducted onto the aircraft.

"Hey——" Li Ting poked Ren Pingsheng's waist in dissatisfaction, "Lin Jing is my friend after all, so it's rude to leave like this?"

"I know."

"Ok?"

"But if I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll do even more disrespectful things," Ren Pingsheng said with some annoyance, then looked up at Li Ting, and apologized helplessly, "In a few days, invite Lin Jing to be our guest at home." Well, what happened today is something wrong with me."

Li Ting didn't expect Ren Pingsheng to say that, he touched his heart that was beating faster and faster, then leaned over and kissed the corner of Ren Pingsheng's mouth: "Okay, I get it, I'm not angry."

When Ren Pingsheng and Li Ting drove their aircraft back home and packed up all the purchased things, it was already dinner time.

Both of them were sweating from exhaustion, looking at the piles of ingredients in the kitchen, neither Li Ting nor Ren Pingsheng wanted to go and cook.

"How about we order delivery?" Ren Pingsheng suggested cautiously, "If you don't like it, I'll cook for you after a short rest."

Li Ting shook his head, looking at Ren Pingsheng's eyes very distressed:

"Call for delivery, I haven't eaten delivery on your planet yet."

Ren Pingsheng rationally chose a potsticker shop that he often eats. In fact, after the destruction of that beautiful home planet, all kinds of ancient civilizations disappeared.Ren Pingsheng still stubbornly prefers traditional foods such as dumplings and pot stickers.What's more, the proprietress of this store is said to have blood in Northeast China, and the dumpling stuffing is very delicious.

Therefore, every time Ren Pingsheng would eat very full, not reconciled to indigestion, and swallowed a lot of pills to make up for it.

During the period of waiting for the food to be delivered, Li Ting and Ren Pingsheng were nestled on the sofa watching TV.Neither of them wanted to watch the news, because the most important news recently was the divorce of Li Ting and Xie Junhuai.

Watching a soap opera with little nutrition, suddenly the doorbell rang at the entrance.Just when Ren Pingsheng was about to stand up, Li Ting pushed him down first.

"Let me come, you wait."

Ren Pingsheng nodded and sat down, but still looked at Li Ting's back with some worry.Li Ting walked over and opened the door according to his fingerprints, but unexpectedly saw a high school girl wearing a kimono at the door, standing behind her was a middle-aged man in a European military uniform wearing half a black blindfold. young woman.

The high school girl was very surprised when she saw Li Ting, and even said a word in ancient Japanese.

In fact, when she said that sentence in ancient Japanese, Li Ting already knew the identities and origins of the two people in front of her.However, Li Ting did not expect it to be so fast, and so sudden, which caught him off guard.

Ren Pingsheng did the same, when he heard that ancient Japanese sentence, he ran out in a panic, put Li Ting behind him, and said very rudely to the two people at the door: "Why are you here? !"

Ren Pingsheng also understood ancient Japanese, but Li Ting listened without showing any inappropriate expression on his face.

"Brother, I heard that you are married, so my mother wants to come and see you."

"Brat, do you see me as a mother?!" Mother Ren threw off Ren Pingsheng, and put her arms around Li Ting's shoulders unceremoniously, "Come on, daughter-in-law, mother has something to give you .”

"Hey……?"

Li Ting froze for a moment, before he could digest all the information in Ren's mother's words, he was dragged up to the second floor by Ren's mother, and then pushed into the bedroom.Mother Ren asked Li Ting to sit on the bed, and then neatly opened a small box that she carried with her.

What was inside made Li Ting so surprised that he couldn't move——

That, is a box full of... er, health supplies.

"Mom has nothing to give you," Ren's mother patted the box, "These things are all from my mother's company, absolutely safe, reliable and easy to use. Also, if that brat bullies you, just tell me and I will replace you." Get rid of him! Absolutely let him cry and beg you!"

"Mother."

"Hey~"

Mother Ren was elated when she heard it, thinking that it was the right time to choose these things as gifts for her daughter-in-law when she came to see her for the first time.However, why does the voice of the daughter-in-law calling herself sound very similar to that of her son.

Mother Ren looked at Li Ting, who awkwardly pointed to the door.

Ren Pingsheng stood at the door, looking at his mother expressionlessly. He glanced at the box of "gifts" and said plainly, "Mom, we have guests."

"Ah?" Mother Ren obviously didn't understand what her son meant.

"Son, why didn't you discuss it with me when you got married?"

——Perhaps because he couldn't wait, the person who followed Ren Pingsheng up the stairs was actually Li Hua.This man with graying hair was carrying a suitcase in his hand, and he looked a little dusty, but the expression on his face was not necessarily very kind.

Or maybe he was angry.

Li Ting stuck out his tongue and looked at Ren Pingsheng wanting to cry without tears—it's wrong for them to marry soon, but they can't come together when they want to see their parents, right? !

After a while of chicken and dog jumping,

In the living room of Ren Pingsheng's house, there were several people sitting: Ren Pingsheng and Li Ting, Ren's mother and Ren Pingsheng's half-sister, and Li Ting's father, Li Hua.

The three parties surrounded the small coffee table, on which there were two boxes of fried golden crispy pot stickers steaming.

"Why marry a man?" Li Hua was the first to speak. The old father was full of anger and unhappiness, and his tone was not very friendly, and he even gave Ren Pingsheng a disapproving look.

"Father, I..." Li Ting opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Ren Pingsheng held his hand.

"Uncle, we really love each other."

"Sincerely? Humph——" Li Hua snorted, "You two have only known each other for a few minutes, and you tell me your sincerity. I didn't give birth to a son to let him fuck a man."

"Then why do you agree to his marriage contract with Xie Junhuai, isn't Xie Junhuai a man?" Let the mother protect the calf.

"That's what his mother promised," Li Hua sneered, "I never promised."

Li Ting remembered that because his father was a wise man, he also belonged to the Paleozoic school among wise men who studied biology.There is a natural resistance to homosexuality and marriage contracts between men and women, and if the marriage contract with Xie Junhuai hadn't been arranged by the old king of Xia Ke Island and Wang Zhongwen from Dongshui Pavilion, Li Hua would definitely not have agreed to this marriage.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, Li Ting didn't know how to dispel his father's anger.

And Mother Ren was intimidated by Li Hua, her eyes flicked here and there, not knowing where to look.

After all, Ren Pingsheng is the master of this family, and since he has the guts to propose to Li Ting, he has the guts to face Li Ting's father: "Uncle, maybe you think that we face love and marriage like child's play. But I can tell you clearly here. I can assure you in vain that I treat Li Ting from the bottom of my heart and out of genuine affection, although I am not a student of biology, even you, uncle, should know a truth."

Li Hua just hummed twice to show that he was listening.

"Actually, the so-called love at first sight refers to the instinctive selection of objects. It is the so-called first impression."

"First impression?" Li Hua raised his eyebrows, "The impression between people can be decided in less than a second."

"Yes, but uncle, seconds are not the smallest unit of time. There are also picoseconds."

Li Hua didn't expect Ren Pingsheng to answer like this, he was stunned, looked at Ren Pingsheng and the ring on Li Ting's finger, suddenly, Li Hua cleared his throat and said, "It's not easy for you to know picoseconds. Listen, you gay. I have a few words for you."

"Father, you can't do this..."

"Shut up and listen to me," Li Hua sneered and interrupted his son, "Many people say that homosexuality is a disease. In the 21st century, many women, men, old people and children feel that falling in love with the same sex is very disgusting , make them feel ashamed, make them feel unreasonable."

"That, that's all in the past..."

"Don't interrupt me!" Li Hua glared at Ren's mother, "But later, with the population explosion and serious aging, it was difficult to adjust various population policies. People began to shift their attention to same-sex sex. In terms of love, after all, at that time, it was difficult for people of the same sex to have direct offspring.”

"You know, I study biology. In biology, I have been studying genes. In fact, in the early 21st century, someone has already researched it-this instinct of liking the same sex is not a disease. It is a gene that exists in every individual human being. If someone expresses it on the gene spectrum, he will prefer the same sex. If he does not express it, he will prefer the opposite sex.”

"In other words, in this world, each of us may be born 'gay', and falling in love with a guy like yourself is not something to be ashamed of."

Li Hua's expression softened, he looked at Li Ting and Ren Pingsheng:

"Did you know? In fact, even bees, and even the animal kingdom, actually have species that prefer the same sex. Although they will not give birth to offspring like those so-called 'normal' partners, the biggest benefit of this gene is, It is that they prefer children more than heterosexuals, and they are willing to adopt children who were born to heterosexual couples but were abandoned."

"These, the optimization of the population, are gifts that nature has long created for us humans."

"It's just that, for many years, people didn't know how to cherish it."

Li Hua looked at his son and the tall and handsome man who looked calm, and then at the mother Ren and the little girl sitting opposite the coffee table.He finally showed a satisfied smile, and stretched out his hand to Ren Pingsheng——

Ren Pingsheng stretched out his hand full of shock, and held Li Hua's hand tremblingly—no—it should be his father's hand.

Li Hua stretched out his other hand towards Mother Ren:

"Mother-in-law, since you are here today, why don't we discuss when we should make up a wedding for the children."

Amidst the excited screams of Ren's mother, and the excited sounds of Ren's younger sister hugging her brother and jumping and screaming, Ren Pingsheng quietly hugged Li Ting, and Li Ting's eyes were red, and he couldn't help sobbing, watching Looking at Li Hua, he said softly, "Thank you, Dad."

The author has something to say:

Last year, when I was studying in the UK, I chose a topic about LGBTQ.Both parents in the family graduated from majors in biology, and they are also engaged in teaching and research work in this field.At that time, because I wanted to study various issues of "homosexuality", they argued with me for a long time.

Then, one day, when my parents and I were video chatting, they said a lot to me about the number X gene.I studied liberal arts, and I don't know the high-end world. I only know that I want to use my pen to write some stories.

It's not about seeking perfection, it's not about confusing fiction with reality.

It's just that my father, who never knew what "rotten girls", "BL" and "danmei" are, with his gray hair, told me a simple truth, one about caring for children, and even more about loving children, about genetic selection, about "Homosexuality is never a disease".

Homosexuality, the three words may still be harsh.

However, I know that I have the best father and mother in the world.

I want to use the mouth of Li Ting's father, Li Hua, to speak out about the blessings of that world, no matter Nankang Bai Qi, no matter any living beings in reality.

It is our luck to be able to meet here in the world of mortals.

PS. From tomorrow onwards, I will be meeting with you. This author fungus is going to draw her lovely students ＿(:зゝ∠)＿
