Confession

On the eve of preparing for a business trip, Jiang Yang received a call from Jiang's mother, to be precise, it was Lin Xu who received it. At that time, Jiang Yang was taking a bath and the phone was placed in the living room.

Lin Xu was sitting on the floor thinking about a function problem. When the ringtone rang, he didn't pay attention to whose phone it was, and fumbled to pick it up, "Hello?"

The other party was silent for a moment, and asked, "Who are you?"

Lin Xu froze for a moment, searched for this voice in his mind, made sure he hadn't heard it before, and asked, "You called me, did you ask who I am?"

"This is my son's phone."

"..." Lin Xu looked at the phone screen, there was a big word "Mom" on it, and the phone was also black.

The mobile phone Lin Xu is currently using was bought by Jiang Yang, one black and one white couple models, the ringtone is the same, he was immersed in thinking and didn't pay attention, just like that, he mistakenly answered Jiang Yang's mother's call...

Lin Xu immediately sat up straight, subconsciously smoothed out his messy hair, and said politely: "Hello, Auntie, I...I am..."

What is he?

He wears Jiang Yang's engagement ring and has couple tattoos on his body. They live together and do intimate things every day. This relationship cannot be more obvious.

But Jiang Yang's parents didn't understand that he was looking for a man, so now Lin Xu couldn't even introduce himself well.

"Are you his boyfriend?" Mother Jiang asked.

Lin Xu hummed in embarrassment, "Are you... are you looking for Jiang Yang? He is taking a shower, can I ask him to come out and call you back?"

Mother Jiang didn't answer, but instead asked, "How long have you been together?"

"It's been more than half a year." Lin Xu replied, inexplicably nervous.

"Some time ago, I heard from Jiang Yang that you were sick," Jiang's mother asked, "Is it better?"

"It's much better." Lin Xu was quite surprised by Mother Jiang's concern, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Jiang Yang's father found coronary heart disease in the physical examination this time, and the blood vessels are blocked. He needs a minimally invasive surgery to expand the blood vessels," Jiang's mother said, "You can tell him that he won't come back to see himself."

Lin Xu learned about coronary heart disease when he was writing a novel before, which means that when one or more coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked, the blood supply is affected, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the myocardium.

In severe cases, the chest cavity needs to be opened for bypass surgery. To put it simply, it is to guide the side branch, and build a bridge on the blood vessel to smoothly supply blood to the heart.

If it is not serious, do a minimally invasive technique. A small hole is made on the wrist, and the "spring" that expands the blood vessel is inserted into the blockage with a special instrument, and then the blood vessel is stretched to expand the blood supply channel.

Since Jiang's mother said it was a minimally invasive surgery, it shouldn't be too serious.

"Ok auntie, I'll tell him," Lin Xu asked with concern, "How is uncle doing? Is he in hospital now?"

"Well, in the hospital, I will have a physical examination tomorrow, and if there is no accident, I will have an operation the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, we..." Lin Xu changed his words, "Jiang Yang will go back."

Mother Jiang was silent for a while, then hung up the phone.

As soon as the call ended, Lin Xu threw the phone on the sofa, ran straight to the bathroom, opened the door, and steamed hot air hit his face.

Jiang Yang, who was naked, stood under the shower and wiped his face. There was still foam on his body. He pushed his hair back, and the dense water droplets drenched over the perfect face and body like a sculpture. The jungle was dense, and the beast was sleeping.

"Baby, do you want to wash together?" Jiang Yang raised his eyebrows with an ambiguous expression.

Lin Xu didn't have time to pay attention to his hint, and went straight to the point, repeating what happened just now.

Jiang Yang suppressed his smile, quickly washed his body clean, put a bathrobe on his body, and went out to call Jiang's mother back.

Lin Xu sat on the sofa drinking water absently, listening to Jiang Yang standing by the window on the phone.

"When did it happen? Well... I know, there are no other problems, right?"

"Okay, I know, I'll buy tickets for tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yang booked tickets on his mobile phone, turned around and said to Lin Xu, "Honey, I'm booking tickets now, go and pack your clothes and see if there is anything you need to bring."

Lin Xu was a little surprised, "Am I with you?"

Jiang Yang stopped, raised his eyes and looked at him, "Don't you want to?"

"Of course not..." Lin Xu said helplessly, "I'm just worried...your parents might not like me, after all you said they..."

Jiang Yang sat beside him, hugged him in his arms, and straightened his hair, "Mom asked me to take you back."

Lin Xu opened his eyes wide, "Really?"

"Why lie to you?" Jiang Yang was also in a good mood, "Mom wants to see you."

Lin Xu's expression brightened, but he immediately asked sadly: "Did you meet me to persuade me to leave you?"

It is written like this in the novels, if the parents disagree, it will be a big obstacle between lovers.

Jiang Yang was dumb, and asked helplessly: "What's going on in your head? Do you think I will agree?"

"Then what if your mother gives me 500 million?"

"Not to mention that my mother doesn't have one, if she does," Jiang Yang asked with a half-smile, "Then I'm more curious about what you would do."

Lin Xu turned around and wrapped his arms around Jiang Yang's neck, and threw himself into his arms, with his legs sandwiching the young man's thin waist, smiling, "I will give your mother 1000 million in return, so that she will agree to us being together."

"Xu Xu is so domineering." Jiang Yang laughed.

Lin Xu said firmly, "Well, no one can separate us."

"Yes, there is no one." Jiang Yang patted Lin Xu's buttocks, "Okay, hurry up and pack your things, we will probably live there for two or three days."

Lin Xu got off Jiang Yang's body in a hurry, "Then where do we live? A hotel? Which hospital is uncle? I'll book a hotel on the way."

"I don't live in a hotel." Jiang Yang went back to his room and found a set of clothes to change into. "Stay at my house."

Lin Xu was taken aback, "Your home?"

"Yes, my house." Jiang Yang put on a sweater and smiled, "Live in my room and sleep on my bed. Baby, are you looking forward to it?"

Lin Xu's heart beat faster, and his translucent eyes shone brightly.

They booked high-speed rail tickets, and it was not too late, so the two simply packed their luggage and set off.

On the way, Lin Xu asked Jiang's mother about his depression. He leaned on Jiang Yang's shoulder with a blanket on, listening to English with an earphone in one ear, and was able to listen to Jiang Yang's words distractedly.

"When you were sick, I posted a circle of friends, saying that I would suspend work due to personal matters, and told my friends not to bother me." Jiang Yang played with the end of Lin Xu's hair, "My mother saw it. Call me to ask me if something happened, but I don’t even go to play anymore.”

Lin Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, "It seems that your playful image is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and you don't know how to restrain yourself in front of your parents?"

Jiang Yang proudly: "Why do you want to restrain yourself? I just like to play, not mess around. Your husband is very clean and self-sufficient, and has never been contaminated with bad habits."

Lin Xu hummed, "People outside all want to experience your majesty. They didn't have the opportunity before, and they won't have the opportunity in the future."

Jiang Yang felt cold when he touched Lin Xu, and pulled up the blanket, "Is the air conditioner cold?"

"It's a little bit." Lin Xu's physique is not very good, and he is more afraid of the cold. He shrinks into Jiang Yang's arms and finds a comfortable position. "So you told Auntie about me? You are not afraid of Auntie. be opposed to."

"I don't care if they object or not, they don't care about me." Jiang Yang snorted, a little naive, but it was cute in Lin Xu's eyes.

"But my mother didn't say anything at the time, and now she asked me to take you back." Jiang Yang kissed Lin Xu's forehead, "It should be because she wants to meet your daughter-in-law."

Lin Xu was very happy, "Auntie's tone on the phone sounded good, and she accepted me."

Jiang Yang saw the smile in Lin Xu's eyes, and kissed his forehead.

"Jiang Yang..." Lin Xu raised his head and whispered in Jiang Yang's ear, "I'm going to meet your parents, are you happy?"

Jiang Yang smiled, "Happy."

"Well, I'm also happy." Lin Xu laughed along with him, with a bright smile, and said in a breathy voice, "Is another wish of yours coming true?"

"I knew you had peeked at my book," Jiang Yang was helpless and spoiled, "I said how to take me to see your parents, get tattoos, pick me up to and from get off work, take the initiative to shave me every morning, and drag me to watch "Amazing" Gatsby."

These are all things in Jiang Yang's plan, and Lin Xu is realizing them one by one.

"Where is it sneaky?" Lin Xu objected, "I saw it openly."

Jiang Yang smiled and didn't argue with him.

A hint of smugness and slyness flashed in Lin Xu's eyes. Some topics are fine, and there is no need to talk too thoroughly, especially things that the two of them know very well.

He wrapped himself in a blanket, leaned against Jiang Yang's arms, closed his eyes and dozed off, and listened intently to the English in the earphones.

Jiang Yang's home is in Anwu City, and the high-speed train takes one and a half hours. After arriving at the station, they carried their luggage and went straight to the hospital. Although Lin Xu looked calm, Jiang Yang still felt nervous from the thin sweat on his palm.

The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and the corridor lights were on all night.

It is only 10:30 now, most of the wards are quiet, and the lights have been turned off. Jiang Yang walked to the door according to the ward number given by Jiang's mother, and looked in through the glass on the door.

This is a double ward, one of the beds is empty and unoccupied, Jiang's father is lying on the other bed, wearing presbyopic glasses and watching his mobile phone, and Jiang's mother is sitting on the stool next to her watching TV.

Lin Xu also stretched out his head to look over, and squeezed Jiang Yang's hand, "Are you still nervous to see your parents?"

"Who is nervous?" Jiang Yang asked back.

Lin Xu withdrew his hand, wiped the thin sweat on his palm secretly, and muttered, "I didn't."

Jiang Yang hooked the corners of his mouth, looked into the room again, his smile faded, and his voice was a little heavy, "The last time I came back to see my parents... was also in the hospital."

Hearing this, Lin Xu looked at him, the corners of the young man's mouth flattened, and his dark eyes darkened.

The "last time" was the time they almost confessed their love at the playground. Jiang Yang answered the phone and left in a hurry. When he came back again, it was the night of Lin Xu's birthday, and he brought back a hurt face.

The relationship between Jiang Yang and his parents is not good, although he never said it, but Lin Xu can feel that Jiang Yang is eager to get his parents' understanding and ease the relationship.

"It will be fine." Lin Xu looked at Jiang Yang and said softly, "Uncle and Auntie will be healthy and live a long life."

Seeing encouragement in Lin Xu's eyes, Jiang Yang smiled, took Lin Xu's hand and pushed the door open.

The two elderly people in the room heard the movement and looked over at the same time. Lin Xu obviously felt their gazes focused on him, so he couldn't help being a little nervous and cramped, but he was still decent on the surface.

"Dad, Mom." Jiang Yang put the supplements he bought on the empty bed after entering the house, and looked at Father Jiang who was lying on the bed, "Are you okay?"

Father Jiang snorted and put down the phone, "I can't die."

"Don't say that," Jiang Yang walked to the bedside, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Father Jiang, "I will accompany you for the examination tomorrow."

Jiang's father didn't answer, he pushed his glasses and kept staring at the TV.

Jiang Yang showed no expression, just kept holding it up.

The atmosphere in the room was a little stiff, Lin Xu stood quietly and waited, he noticed Jiang's mother's probing gaze, and showed a peaceful smile.

The stalemate between the father and son did not embarrass Lin Xu. They were so tense at the beginning, and they had no contact after a slap. This is an inevitable process and an opportunity for relaxation.

Jiang's father's operation this time gave each other a step down, and they had an excuse to bow their heads, take the initiative, and give in to the previous anger.

Lin Xu watched Jiang Yang silently and waited with him.

After a long time, Jiang's father still didn't move. After watching the advertisement for several rounds, Jiang Yang still held the cup steadily without shaking his hand.

"It's almost done," Jiang's mother said, "How old are you, still angry with children? Don't make people laugh."

"..." Father Jiang glanced at Jiang Yang, and reluctantly took the cup. It's been too long, the weather is cold, and the warm water has turned cold.

Jiang Yang lowered his arms, walked to Lin Xu and formally introduced, "Mom and Dad, this is Lin Xu, mine..."

Lin Xu tugged at Jiang Yang's clothes, and interrupted: "Hello, uncle and aunt, I have prepared a small gift for the first time we meet, and I hope uncle will recover soon."

Jiang Yang glanced at Lin Xu, pursed his lips slightly, and a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

Jiang's father didn't say a word, Jiang's mother said politely: "Thank you, let's sit down first."

The two sat down together, and Jiang Yang asked about Jiang's father again carefully, and took a look at the previous physical examination report. This time, another item of diabetes was found in the examination.

Jiang Yang said helplessly: "I told you to eat less sweets before."

"I've eaten less!" Jiang's father was dissatisfied, "I haven't eaten much sweets all the time, it must be pestering me, what can I do?"

"...You have been diagnosed with diabetes now, so you really can't eat any more." Jiang Yang said, "Otherwise there will be other complications."

Lin Xu said: "According to the report, your blood vessels are blocked due to stickiness. This should be a complication of diabetes. Because the sugar content in the blood is too high, the body cannot decompose it, and it has been deposited in the blood vessels over time, resulting in the current inability to The blood supply situation. Diabetes still needs to be taken seriously.”

Mother Jiang asked: "Aren't you a writer? Do you still understand this?"

"I learned about it when I was writing a novel before," Lin Xu replied, "It's just that I know a little about this range of knowledge."

Mother Jiang nodded, "Are you still writing books?"

Lin Xu said calmly: "No more, I stopped, and now I will re-prepare for the college entrance examination."

Jiang's father interjected, his tone was stiff, and he didn't sound very kind: "You haven't finished college? Then you still write novels."

"Dad, writing a book has nothing to do with academic qualifications, it's the author's own cultural accomplishment," Jiang Yang calmly explained to Lin Xu, "He didn't finish college, but Lin Xu scored more than 700 points in the college entrance examination. This best-selling book is very popular, and you can see his works in any bookstore, can you say that he is not as good as me, who has finished college?"

"You also know that you are not doing well right now." Father Jiang snorted coldly.

Lin Xu spoke in a conciliatory manner, with a gentle and calm attitude, "Uncle, Jiang Yang is also very powerful now, and his career is booming. He works so hard to be able to honor you better."

Father Jiang's expression was a little unnatural, and he snorted, "Sure enough, he is a writer, with a glib tongue."

Lin Xu showed a gentle smile, "It's just the truth."

Mother Jiang looked at their luggage and said, "It's a bit late today, you guys should go home first, we'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

"Go back and rest," Jiang Yang suggested, "I'll watch over Dad tonight."

Father Jiang stared: "What's there to guard against? I'm not going to die!"

Jiang Yang: "..."

"Can you talk properly?" Mother Jiang asked with a frown.

Father Jiang was furious and stopped talking.

Lin Xu looked at the elders, pursed his lips and snickered.

"Take him back to sleep," Jiang's mother said, "If you want to watch the night, we can do it tomorrow night. One companion is allowed here. I don't want to bother with the cold outside."

Jiang Yang didn't force it, and Lin Xu came back with him, it's not good to leave him alone at home, it was an unfamiliar environment for Lin Xu.

"Then let's go first." Jiang Yang stood up and grabbed Lin Xu's hand naturally, which has become a subconscious habit, "We'll come back tomorrow morning."

Mother Jiang: "Okay."

"The food in the hospital is not good," Lin Xu said, "Uncle, Auntie, how about we come over early tomorrow and bring you breakfast?"

Father Jiang said gruffly, "I want to drink millet porridge. The one in the hospital is so unpalatable."

Jiang Yang reminded: "Diabetics can't drink porridge."

Father Jiang was even angrier, "Then I'll drink soy milk."

Jiang Yang: "Yes, but no sugar."

Father Jiang: "..."

Lin Xu smiled and said, "Where's Auntie?"

"Then I'll have millet porridge," Jiang's mother said, "bring me a tea egg and fried dough sticks."

"Okay," Lin Xu agreed, "I'll be ready."
