In the kitchen, Yu's mother was washing vegetables, Xia Zigui was chopping vegetables, and the two were talking while doing things.

"Looking at your posture, I know that you often cook at home." Mother Yu smiled, "Xiaoyu rarely cooks. It's just cooked."

Xia Zigui thought the title "Little Fish" was very cute and caring, but he didn't dare to show anything, he just followed the words: "My parents are busy with work, so I learned to cook very early. Yu Xian is already very good, Many people at our age have never cooked before."

"In other respects, he may be good. Cooking is really not that good. But...it's true that he didn't let us worry about it since he was a child. When he was young, he was like a little adult. When he arrived at school, he studied hard. We don’t need to worry about things, we make a schedule for ourselves, strictly abide by it, and have strong self-control..."

Xia Zigui listened carefully to Mother Yu's story about Yu Xian's past, not wanting to miss a single word.In my mind, I imagine Yu Xian, who is much smaller, carrying a small schoolbag to school every day, listening carefully in class, and doing homework seriously at home. I think it is so cute and cute no matter how I think about it.

As expected of Yu Xian, he has been so outstanding since he was a child!

"He is so old, the only thing that really worries us is doing one thing - confessing his sexuality to us." Mother Yu suddenly said gently, "You two, are you together now?"

Xia Zigui was startled suddenly, shaking his hand holding the knife, and accidentally cut his left index finger. The wound was neither too long nor too deep, but blood beads came out immediately.

He didn't make a fuss, it happened to be the last dish, and there was still a bit left to cut. He rinsed the knife under the faucet, cut the last bit with one hand, and washed his hands after cutting.The blood was still oozing out slowly, and he put the injured hand in his pocket.

Since Yu's mother was cooking vegetables and her back was facing him, she didn't notice this.

I just felt that he didn't reply for a long time, so I turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, I don't want to tear you apart."

"The dishes, the vegetables are finished." Xia Zigui felt uneasy because he couldn't guess Yu's mother's meaning.

"Thank you. Take it easy...I just wanted to discuss this with you."

Taking a deep breath, Xia Zigui said, "Auntie, tell me."

Yu's mother pondered for a while and said, "Your mother and I are very familiar now. When we are free, we often go shopping together for beauty treatment, and I often hear her talk about your school affairs. You didn't tell your mother about you and Xiaoyu. about it?"

"No." Xia Zigui said honestly, "However, I plan to tell them during the winter vacation."

"It's good if you have this plan. Don't think I'm long-winded." Mother Yu smiled and said, "Although it may be difficult, no matter as a mother or as a good friend of your mother, I don't want you to keep hiding the truth. go down."

"I won't keep it a secret." Xia Zigui said seriously, "Yu Xian and I are serious."

Exiting from the kitchen, Xia Zigui went to the bathroom, washed his injured finger with water, and then dried it with toilet paper. The wound did not bleed much, only a trace of blood would emerge from the skin when the layer was broken. , It will not become much without rubbing.

He folded the toilet paper into a long strip, wrapped the wound, and put it in his pocket before he came out of the bathroom and went to Yu Xian's room.

Yu Xian has finished his lecture and is packing up his computer.

"Yu Xian, do you have any band-aids here?" Xia Zigui walked over and asked in a low voice.

"Injured?" Yu Xian put down the computer and looked at him immediately. Xia Zigui honestly took out his hand and whispered, "I, I was too nervous, I accidentally cut it, it's just a small wound. Shhh, don't speak loudly." , don’t let Auntie know.”

Because he had to eat later, he couldn't keep his hands in his pockets and not take them out.With Yu Xian's keenness, he will definitely find the problem, so why not tell him honestly.

Yu Xian asked Xia Zigui to sit on the bed, and squatted in front of him to help him apply the band-aid.

Taking away the layer of toilet paper he wrapped, Yu Xian looked at the slightly whitish wound on his finger, the finger was still a little cold, and frowned: "How long have you been flushing with cold water?"

"Just for a while, I have to wash my hands. It doesn't hurt at all, really." Xia Zigui said, "It's really nothing for a boy to get hurt like this, so don't frown!"

Yu Xian glanced at him coldly, and carefully put the band-aid on him.

"What did my mother tell you?"

"It is said that you were very serious about things when you were young. Except for your poor cooking skills, you are very good at other aspects." Xia Zigui looked at him with bright eyes, "You rarely tell me about your childhood."

"Want to hear."

Xia Zigui nodded hurriedly.

Yu Xian looked up at him: "There was nothing interesting about my childhood. Going to school, reading books and doing homework after school was very boring. But it was fun to go to grandma's place to play during the holidays. There are many children in the countryside, most of them are lively and active, so I go fishing with them Touching shrimp, digging wild vegetables to find mushrooms..."

"Isn't this very interesting? When I was a child, no one played with me, and I painted by myself. Later, Shitou moved to my community, and only then did I have a friend."

The two were talking, and soon I heard Yu's mother say that dinner is ready.

Yu's father was on a business trip, so there were only Yu's mother, Yu Xian, and Xia Zigui at the table, which made Xia Zigui less nervous.

"Xiao Xia, is your hand hurt?" Yu's mother soon discovered that Xia Zigui's finger was covered with a Band-Aid.

"It's nothing, just a small wound."

"Then eat less of the spicy dish."

"kindness."

When Xia Zigui came home in the evening, only Mother Xia was watching TV in the living room. She was leaning back on the sofa with a mask on her face.

"Son, come and watch TV with me." Mother Xia waved to Xia Zigui when she saw him come back.

As soon as Xia Zigui sat down, his mother sat upright and looked at his hand: "Why did you hurt it?"

Xia Zigui: "...accidentally made a small wound, it's okay, it will heal in a few days."

Xia's mother leaned forward again: "Be careful at ordinary times, especially your hands, don't you still want to paint for the rest of your life? You must protect them for this."

When the TV was put on the advertisement section, Mother Xia tuned to a station that played music, lowered her voice, and said to Xia Zigui, "Let's have a good conversation."

Xia Zigui's body froze, and Xia's mother was so sensitive, she glanced at him: "Why are you nervous? I just wanted to ask you if you are doing well in school, why do you seem to have done something wrong?"

Xia Zigui's breath became stagnant when he heard the words, originally he didn't intend to talk about him and Yu Xian today.He originally wanted to find a more suitable time to say it, although in fact he didn't know what kind of time would be suitable, but after his mother just said this sentence, he suddenly had an urge to say it.

"Mom... I, I..." Xia Zigui's heart was beating fast, his throat was tense, his eyes never avoided Xia's mother's sight, and after a long time, he finally said, "I like men. "

The living room fell silent for an instant. Although the music on the TV was so intense and dynamic, the air outside the screen was almost condensed for a moment.

Mother Xia stayed there for a long time before she slowly sat up, turned off the TV, took off the mask on her face and pinched it in her hands, almost wringing out water.

She looked at Xia Zigui and asked, "What did you just say?"

Xia Zigui almost didn't dare to look at his mother, and almost tore his palms so that he didn't escape her gaze at this moment: "Mom, I like men."

He didn't say "I like Yu Xian", this was out of subconscious protection before he spoke, he was worried that his parents would not accept it and it would affect Yu Xian.He didn't try to figure out his parents maliciously, he just hoped that he could talk about other things after his parents accepted the fact that he liked men.

Mother Xia's breathing was a little short, and she was obviously shocked: "When did it happen? When did you find out?"

"After the college entrance examination." Seeing that his mother seemed to be unable to accept it, Xia Zigui felt uneasy and fearful. He grabbed his mother's hand and said sadly, "Mom, I'm sorry, I, I... I can't marry a wife and come back to give birth to you." Fat grandchildren."

As the head nurse, Xia's mother has worked in the hospital for many years. She has not only heard of, but also met many homosexuals. She also has some understanding of this type of people. She also knows that homosexuality is not a disease, it is normal, and there is no change. .

However, it is precisely because of knowing that the loss and shock in her heart are more real, because she understands intellectually that if what Xiao Xia said is true, this will be a deadlock.Even if he is forced to marry a woman and have children, the result will not be good in the future, and it will ruin another person's life.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the hand that was holding her tightly. The little man's chubby appearance as a child seemed to be still in front of her eyes, but now she has lost her youthful immaturity, and has become as recognizable as his father's palm. to the existence of a sense of security.

Such a big hand was warm and powerful, but it was trembling nervously at this moment. It was the tension from his heart, even fear.

This is his well-behaved and sensible son, whom she has loved for 18 years.

She didn't want him to make things difficult for her, but...she also didn't want him to be alone in the future, especially since this world doesn't tolerate homosexuality.

She held Xia Zigui's hand instead, and there was a little smile in her voice: "It's as if if you like women, you can marry a wife and have fat grandchildren. It's not like there are people who can't marry a wife now."

"mom……"

"You suddenly told me this. I actually can't accept it. My mind is a little confused now. I just want to ask you." She looked straight at Xia Zigui, "If you fell in love with a man, but your father and I both If you disagree, you can only choose one of the two, how would you choose?"

Xia Zigui raised his breath of relief when he heard the words, and his mind automatically switched to choosing one between Yu Xian and his parents. Even if it was just a hypothesis, his heart seemed to be fried by fire, and he was alive and well. the pain.There was also an unavoidable sour feeling, and a gleam of water flashed in his eyes.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm very greedy, I can't give up on either side." Xia Zigui almost collapsed, "I will make money well, be filial to you, and take care of you when you are old. I will love him well , grow old together with him. I will work very hard to be a good son and a good partner, there must be a way to have both! I don’t want to give up on anyone!”

"Without a stable marriage relationship and no children as a bridge, it is too difficult for two people to live a good life. Your thinking is too naive." Mother Xia said.

"I will marry him, and go abroad to get married." Xia Zigui said, "We really want to be together. Because we are young now, you feel naive. After a few years, you will know that I am serious."

"Then I'll watch it in a few years." Mother Xia sighed, then raised her eyebrows, "Who is he?"

Xia Zigui: "..."

"From what you said just now, it's obvious that such a person exists, right? Can't you tell me about it?" Mother Xia suddenly had a flash of inspiration, secretly surprised by her own thoughts, and blurted out, "It's Yu Xian?"

Xia Zigui's eyes widened, and Xia's mother knew she had guessed right.

"...What's your relationship now?"

Xia Zigui lowered his head and said obediently, "Couples."

"How are you doing?"

Xia Zigui quickly replied: "Okay! Very good. He is very kind and treats me very well!"

Xia's mother saw her son rushing to say good things for the other party, she was afraid that she would have a bad impression of Yu Xianyou's anxious appearance, and she was a little bit worried.I always feel that my son is so sincere that he is particularly vulnerable...

Thinking about what Yu's mother said about Yu Xian, that child has always had his own ideas since he was a child, and he has big ideas, which is completely different from Xiao Xia... The more I think about it, the more I feel that Xiao Xia is out of a disadvantaged position.

"That kid Shitou is so good, and he treats you well at ordinary times. If you like boys, you should like Shitou, right? You guys are too young." Xia's mother babbled nonsense under worry, "You didn't realize that you like him before. Boy, I just realized it now... So, could it be an illusion—or, in fact, you also like girls?"

"Impossible!" Xia Zigui said firmly, "I only like Yu Xian!"

Mother Xia: "...Forget it, you are still young, I will read it in a few years. Don't tell your dad about this, I will tell him. No matter who you talk about friends with, you are still a student now, study First."

"I know, I will never delay my studies!"
