cool autumn

Following the exposure of Mayor Zhang's bribery and drug smuggling incident, TV news and various program themes are scrambling to report. Whether he has it or not, being the mayor of a city is a very eye-catching position. Now After being splashed with dirty water, those who wanted to take the opportunity to pull him off his horse and rise up against the wind jumped up and down indiscriminately.

And those paparazzi reporters who followed behind their buttocks, who were afraid of chaos in the world, did their best to conduct a carpet-like human flesh search on Zhang Bingheng. How many mistresses he kept and how many illegal houses he bought were completely wiped out.

Zhou Ran was sitting on the sofa, listening to the news anchor on TV reading the newspaper in a straight voice, about what happened after Mayor Zhang was arrested in the procuratorate, and then the various reactions of the people, there was applause , There are also those who are skeptical and do not express their opinions. Of course, the direction of public opinion is always positive.

Su Yao would do such a thing, Zhou Ran was not surprised at all, but even with Mu Nan's help, those politicians would not easily dedicate their lives to explaining the truth. The explicit and covert criticism hinted at Zhang Bingheng's terrible past, and even revealed it in a small way. It is about the close relationship between Su Yao's father, Su Zhenghua, and Zhang Bingheng, and a series of incidents involved.No matter what kind of uproar this matter will cause after the disclosure, in short, Zhang Bingheng's ending will not be much better.

Si Yue was sitting next to her and catching up with her homework. The Spring Festival was approaching, but her homework was still full and she hadn't moved. This morning, when Zhou Ran suddenly asked about it, she hurried to find her homework book. She was concentrating on it Buried in homework.

There was the rustling sound of a pencil rubbing against the paper, and Zhou Ran listened to the sound of writing in April on the right hand side, thinking about the days when she was taught by Lin Jingxian, since she came back, she never visited her at home and called her Either it happened to be away, or it was impossible to meet for various reasons. The sun is shining today, so I should go to the Lin family mansion.

When he got up and went back to his room, Zhou Huaning rushed out from the kitchen, and asked Zhou Ran in a strange tone, "Are you going out today?"

Zhou Ran nodded suspiciously, "Go to Lin's house later if I have something to do."

"Is Mr. Huo going with you too?" Zhou Huaning paused slightly, and asked hesitantly, his fingers were pulled into a ball without Zhou Ran's sight, and the veins on the back of his white hands were bulging.

The doubts in his heart deepened, and Zhou Ran keenly sensed that something was wrong with Zhou Huaning's voice. He rubbed his fingers against the fabric at his feet, calmed down and said with a smile: "He has something to go home, how can he follow me all the time?"

It's just that someone must have been sent to watch him before he left. Zhou Ran is very sure of this. He feels that Huo Wendong has become as neurotic as in his previous life, with the same unpredictable thoughts, and he hides everything tightly and refuses to Say it out, and you are competing with yourself there.

Zhou Huaning seemed to be relieved, and his tone of voice returned to his usual smile. After a few careful instructions, he helped Zhou Ran to the stairs, let him grope up it bit by bit, and stood there watching him With slow steps, an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.

Si Yue finished her homework and ran over with her notebook in her arms, "Mom, brother, I finished my homework, and he bought me delicious mango pudding as soon as he finished it."

Zhou Huaning rubbed her head, pointed upstairs and smiled, "Little glutton, your brother just went upstairs, let's play first, don't disturb him."

Siyue said "oh yes", threw down the book, left Zhou Huaning and ran away, leaving Zhou Huaning sighing softly, walking to the side with a sleepy expression to look through the books he just bought these days, I saw that the book said 'correctly view the existence of homosexuality'.

That day, after receiving Huo Wendong's blatant statement that the relationship between him and his son was obviously too intimate and ambiguous, her heart was also in a mess. Her thoughts were the same as many ordinary people. She felt that homosexuality is a disease, and liking men is a disease. Abnormal.

Grabbing her bag, she hurried to the hospital to find the old Chinese doctor. In her opinion, the old Chinese doctor was superb and would be able to cure Zhou Ran's illness.

Unexpectedly, the old Chinese doctor just smiled lightly at that time, and waved his hands nonchalantly, "Men like men have existed since ancient times. No matter what era they are in, they are indelible and offset. It's just the gender of the person they like and the general direction of society. It’s just that the development is contradictory, it’s not a big deal, and don’t worry too much about it.”

Zhou Huaning couldn't express how he felt after confirming that his son did have an indescribable relationship with Huo Wendong, but when he heard the old Chinese doctor's casual answer, he was relieved for Zhou Ran.

In the past, I heard people say that men like men in my hometown. At that time, the treatment of the exposed male couple was much harsher. No matter where they went, people avoided it like a virus. Hiding, although she doesn't know what the end result will be, but she can see people's intolerance towards homosexuality. Apart from worrying about whether her child is sick, she is also nervous about whether Zhou Ran will be treated like this in the future Contemptuous and contemptuous, the old Chinese doctor's words also gave her a kind of affirmation and comfort to a certain extent.

"Is there really no way to change it? If, if I introduce more girls to Ran Ran, will it be much better if I let him get in touch with him more?" The road of homosexuality is too difficult, Zhou Huaning is unwilling to look at himself A proud child is looked at with that strange look, if there is a way to change it, she is willing to bear no matter what the price is.

The old Chinese doctor glanced at her, hid the complicated thoughts in his heart, and explained with a smile: "Homosexuality is mostly congenital, you still think that Zhou Ran is one of those adolescent children, they are different, they are different, he understands What are you doing, even if there is no Huo Wendong, it can't change the fact that he likes men." After a pause, thinking of a stingy man, and then thinking of the rare medical book he heard from his assistant before, his thoughts suddenly turned faster "Furthermore, the current situation cannot be changed by your meddling. If you don't let nature take its course, just pretend it didn't happen. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Worrying too much won't help."

Later, she went to the bookstore to buy several such books, and went home holding the books firmly against the strange eyes of the clerk.

Zhou Huaning's idea is very simple, since she can't change her son's sexual orientation, then she should work hard to be his strong backing, maybe she is still thinking too naively, but for Zhou Ran, she is first and foremost a mother, she loves her child.

After Zhou Ran returned to the room, she felt restless in her heart. She walked back and forth in the room a few times, went to the door and locked it resolutely, walked into the bathroom and stepped into the space.

When he entered the space, he could vigilantly feel that there was a little restlessness in the grove. Those animals that were always beating chickens and eggs and making endless noises showed polarized differences. Gentle and peaceful stability.

The Yin-Yang Spring in front of the small house is now forming two black and white tornadoes attacking the grove. The ferocious momentum and the spectacular scene of brutality are projected onto the brain through consciousness.

After a long time, the commotion in the grove calmed down, and the two small pools, black and white, returned to their usual inconspicuous appearance, but when Zhou Ran went to investigate again, he suddenly found a tree growing in the middle of the pool. Strange bright green grass, a thin one with only three leaves on it, looks like the little flowers and grasses on the side of the road, but the stem is deeply rooted on both sides, absorbing the black and white pools at the same time While nourishing, it can secrete a kind of ice-blue water droplets, some of which flow along the rhizome to the green dividing point in the middle, and some of them are rolling and rounding, circling around the leaves that cannot be dropped. Circle.

Zhou Ran squatted beside him and observed for a long time. The cold fragrance at the end of his nose made him look terrified. After thinking for a moment, he got up and walked into the small room. After rummaging through boxes and boxes, he finally found it among the large boxes of old antiques left by Mr. Lin. A top-grade mutton fat jade pot, which looks like it is used to hold wine.

After finding a container big enough to hold the ice-blue dew, Zhou Ran excitedly walked outside, and waited intently for the ice-blue dew to roll down the jade pot, then carefully put away the jade pot with relief, and looked at the jade pot curiously. The liquid inside is carefully studied.

It takes a long time for the blue dew to secrete, and it looks like it condenses once a week, and after it condenses, it will divert part of it into the green water, and the remaining dew that does not move is what Zhou Ran can use.

Maybe Zhou Ran still doesn't understand why the grass grows in the Yinyang Spring, and what kind of use it has, but the most obvious thing is that the closer you get to the black pool, The greater the sense of shock in the soul, if it stays for a long time, there will be a pain of being torn apart by life, which is from the tearing of the soul. After trying it twice, Zhou Ran was beaten to death. I don't want to go near the black pool any more.

The phenomenon on the other side of the white pool is the opposite. Zhou Ran's soul damage in the black pool before has been perfectly healed here. Zhou Ran deduces that this Yin-Yang spring has a great connection with the soul, but The time is still short, and Zhou Ran can't see any clues.

After dawdling in the space for a long time, Zhou Ran had only been out of the space for half an hour, and before he had time to change his clothes, the old housekeeper's car arrived.

"Master Aran," the old butler immediately stood up from the sofa when he saw Zhou Ran appearing, and hurried forward to walk to Zhou Ran, to prevent Zhou Ran from bumping into something because he couldn't see.

Zhou Huaning happened to come out from the kitchen with a plate of fruit. Seeing the old butler treating his son so lovingly and caringly, he was stunned for a moment, but in the blink of an eye he had already collected his thoughts, and smiled at them, "Come, eat!" some fruit."

It was the first time for the old housekeeper to come to Zhou Ran's current residence. He was surprised when he saw Zhou Huaning. Huang Kaili, such a woman with clean eyes, bright and moving eyes, makes people feel like a spring breeze, and is very good-favored.

"Miss Zhou is too polite. I will take Master Aran back to Lin's house first, and I will visit you when I have time." The old housekeeper bowed and smiled, nodded at her with a gentle smile on his face, and supported Zhou Ran together. Went to the door and got into the car.

Zhou Huaning stood at the door watching the car disappear from sight, sighed, turned and went back to her room to continue studying her book on the history of homosexuality.

The days to come are still long, no matter whether Zhou Ran's future partner is Huo Wendong or someone else, she hopes that her children will be happy, so let's work hard while there is still time.

The car stopped at the Lin family's mansion. The old butler parked the car and led Zhou Ran in. He walked very slowly, with one hand on Zhou Ran's arm, and the two walked side by side.

"The Patriarch of the Huang family is also here today, and he is chatting with the Patriarch of my own family in the living room. Should Master Aran go to the lobby with him, or go to Miss Jingxian's first?" asked suddenly at a fork in the road.

Zhou Ran didn't answer his words, but keenly followed those overly eager gazes, turned to the other side, and asked a little strangely: "Is there someone standing there?"

The old butler looked around, and his eyes were fixed on the two girls standing beside the rockery, one was Lin Chongwen's eldest daughter, Lin Yuxiang, and the other looked much older.

The girl next to Lin Yuxiang saw the old housekeeper and Zhou Ran, she smiled a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly pulled Lin Yuxiang, who was showing disdain, over to greet Zhou Ran and the others, "I'm Huang Siyue from the Huang family, and I'm here with grandpa as a guest today. Yes, it was really rude just now."

The old butler gave her a meaningful look, rolled his eyelids, and showed his usual smiling Maitreya look, with a loving face, "Miss Huang is serious, the weather is good today, Miss Huang should come to this small garden Take a good walk, take a walk, the scenery in our Lin family's small garden is not bad."

Huang Siyue nodded, but she couldn't help but stare at Zhou Ran again and again from the corner of her eyes, her eyes could not stop being envious, but due to her daughter's shyness and reservedness, she was not bold enough to strike up a conversation, but the neighbor Lin Yuxiang squinted at Zhou Ran next, and said with a bared smile, "Hey, since when did you become blind, it's better to go on the road, haha... There will be retribution for being pretentious sooner or later, hum."

Huang Siyue looked at Zhou Ran carefully in surprise, and was disappointed to meet his pair of eyes that were not very bright but still beautiful, and felt somewhat pity.

The old housekeeper frowned slightly, and was interrupted by Zhou Ran just as he was about to speak, "Thanks for your concern, do you need me to list your boyfriend list for you? Compared with your battle statistics, my pretentiousness is not enough look."

Lin Yuxiang was poked in the painful foot, her eyes were so wide that her face turned red, if Huang Siyue hadn't been pulling her aside, she might have jumped up and scratched Hua Zhouran's face.It is well known that she is very masculine, and she has had thirty or forty boyfriends if not twenty, but usually the two will break up after a short period of time. Although it is said that she dumped others first, those who know Everyone knows it well, presumably there is no one who can tolerate her arrogant and domineering Miss Jiao's temper.

Zhou Ran tugged at the corner of the old butler's clothes, and motioned him to take him to find Lin Jingxian first, and stay away from the right and wrong place.

Huang Siyue bit her lip, quickly pulled him back, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm really sorry, Yuxiang didn't say that on purpose, she just did it when she was in a bad mood, I can apologize to you."

Hearing this, Zhou Ran turned her face towards her, and shook her head with a flat face, "I'm going to go first if I have nothing to do." He and this Huang Siyue also had some connections in their previous lives.

In order to bring down the Huang family and break into the enemy's interior as soon as possible, he has been working hard to contact the Huang family, and Huang Siyue is the most beloved granddaughter of the head of the Huang family. Go, maybe he and this girl will become a fiancée.

"Hey..." Huang Siyue watched Zhou Ran walk away step by step, and when he was about to stop him, he couldn't even see the figure, but just withdrew his hand stiffly, facing Lin Yuxiang's suspicious eyes, he was a little hesitant She curled her lips, she has always been favored by the head of the Huang family in the Huang family, when did she receive such an aggrieved bench.

The old housekeeper led Zhou Ran into Lin Jingxian's small courtyard. Before leaving, Zhou Ran suddenly turned around and asked, "Is the reason why the Patriarch of the Huang family came to see Uncle this time?"

The old butler was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted his head, and said in an unclear way: "This is up to you to understand."

Going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Zhou Ran knew it would not be a good thing, curled his lips, and walked in slowly holding the door frame.
