If this sweet shell is destined to be peeled off by you

The next day was still sunny, just like the people who deliberately cooperated with these two days of rest, the sky with almost no trace of cloud was so clear that it made people feel a little distorted.

Driving on the highway, Xueyue tilted her head and looked at the unfamiliar road and scenery, looking forward to the upcoming trip with inexplicable fear.Because just the night before, the lover who was massaging his body decided to take him back to his hometown.

"How long until we arrive?"

It has been driving for nearly an hour, but the itinerary seems to have no end in sight.

"There is still a little more than an hour, Xueyue, if you are tired, lie down and sleep for a while."

Obviously just had a full meal, and the weather is so bright, Xueyue is not sleepy at all, but is a little excited because of the unfamiliar journey.

"Why do you want to take me back to my hometown? Have you notified the family in advance? Do they know that you...bring a same-sex lover home? Also, if I go like this, will it look...informal? When the time comes How to introduce me?"

There were a lot of questions, and the tense Xueyue suddenly became rambling, which made Maeda laugh.

"I finished the painting yesterday and took a picture for my mother. I told her that I would take the person in the painting home today. But she was quite surprised. She replied with a long string of exclamation points at the end of the sentence."

"Really?! Are you startled?"

Xueyue was also very surprised, she didn't want Maeda to explain the relationship between the two so bluntly, but now she started to worry about the reaction of Maeda's parents.

"That's not true, she's just surprised that I can meet such a beautiful person."

As he said that, the corners of Maeda's mouth curled up, he was very proud of having Xueyue.

"Then, they all know that you are... that, comrade?"

"I know. I knew about the incident when I entered the river, because the incident was so violent and had a great impact. My father was still involved in politics, so he was very angry, thinking that I had shamed the family and would affect his career. But after so many years There is no way to change me, so I don’t care much about me.”

Listening to Maeda's narration, Xueyue chewed repeatedly in her heart.At the beginning, the relationship between Maeda and Irie was a teacher and a student, and they were of the same sex. After all, the family would definitely be angry.Xueyue didn't know what kind of apology it was that made his family angry, because he had no family to speak of.

"At that time, my dad scolded me terribly. He chased me and refused to let me go out, so he stayed at home and accused me, hehe... But I guess he can't scold me now, really..."

"Hey... I can't understand... I don't have any family, not even anyone who scolds me."

The look of lowering his head was a little sentimental, so Maeda stroked his head.

"If you want to hear it, you can probably hear it today. I seldom go home, but every time I go home, I will be scolded. But last time I didn't see anyone else, only my mother was at home alone. Oh yes, she The food is delicious."

The mood is as good as the weather, and I don’t feel tired after driving for more than an hour.

"Why... do you want to take me home so much?"

Inexplicably shy, there are thousands of emotions circulating in my heart.He is afraid, but also looking forward to it.Until now, he understands Maeda's feelings for him, understands that this relationship makes him unable to extricate himself, and at the same time understands his feelings for Maeda.I understood what the other party gave me, and escaped from the days of being alone.

"You can't hide it from them for the rest of your life. I want them to admit you."

For a moment, my thinking couldn't react.But there was a burst of warmth in my heart.

"……Oh, that's how it is……"

Although he didn't say anything, the smile that couldn't be hidden from the corner of his mouth didn't disappear.

Even if you take the expressway, it takes about two hours before you finally stop in front of a single-family apartment.

Because I brought Xueyue with me, I greeted my family first when I entered the door.The one who opened the door was Maeda's mother, the moment she saw Xueyue, the smile on her face froze.

I have seen the oil painting sent by my son last night. The boy leaning crookedly on the sofa in the painting is clean and beautiful. The pure eyes and soft and relaxed posture make her think that the painting is a girl. The part of the body has no weight to be sure that it is a boy.

"Hi, uncle, I'm Xueyue Inoue, this is the first time I meet..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized that the other party was staring at him intently, so he blushed a little nervously and looked at the man next to him.

"You are Xueyue?"

I looked at my son, and then at the boy, only to realize that my son's paintings were very good, without any exaggeration at all.Originally thought that this kind of portrait would have a little bit of artistic processing, but when the deity stood in front of her eyes, she dared to confirm that Xue Yue was indeed very beautiful.

"You are welcome to come and play at home. I am this brat's mother. Please come in quickly."

With a smile on his face, he beckoned the two to go in, but Maeda began to look around.

Knowing what his son was looking for, he opened his mouth and answered him.

"Your dad is out fishing, and he'll be back when it's time to eat."

"Yeah. I'm going upstairs to look for my things, Xueyue, are you coming up?"

"Hey, go find it yourself, can't you let him chat with me here?"

Pretending to be angry, Maeda's mother frowned and looked at her son.

"Then go find it yourself, I'm here to chat with my aunt."

Giving the other party a reassuring smile, Xue Yue turned her head to look at the other party and chatted with her lover, who would no longer care about her.

"Xueyue... isn't it? Look, look? When I looked at the photos yesterday, I thought he had painted people beautifully, but today, it looks the same!"

Excitedly, he took out his mobile phone and opened the message, which contained the picture taken by Maeda.

"This...uh heh, it's a bit embarrassing..."

"But besides showing me your portrait and telling me your name, he didn't tell me anything else. How old are you this year? What do you do? How did you meet?"

Just like other ordinary families meeting their elders, they will be asked about the basic situation, but this is very new to Xueyue.

"I'm 22 years old, and I'm working in a bar now. When he moved here, he happened to live in the same apartment, and it was next door to me. But my aunt looks so young, and I'm a little embarrassed to always call your aunt."

Although Xueyue's emotional experience is simple, but this kind of words that can make customers happy has almost developed professionalism, but it makes the other party extremely satisfied, and she keeps laughing and talking about everything.While that's true in practice, it's always nice to be told.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't think that I'm easy to talk to, but his father has a stubborn temper, and he even put on a face. But Xueyue, don't be too afraid. Although he is fierce to his son, he is still more afraid of me. .”

Xue Yue deliberately dressed a little more maturely today. Although her handsome appearance is perfect, she lacks a sense of intimacy.He is always like that. Although he can be very close when chatting with people, he has a clear sense of distance from others in his entire temperament.

"Thank you auntie. I really envy him for having such great parents..."

Afterwards, the conversation went from laughter at the beginning to Maeda's mother crying alone, holding Xueyue's hand and refusing to let go while wiping her tears with a tissue.Xueyue had no choice but to help pass the tissue and persuade the other party not to cry, so that Maeda came down from upstairs to watch this scene, not knowing what to do.

"Mom, give Xueyue back to me, you still have something to do, don't you?"

Maeda's mother who woke up suddenly remembered that she hadn't gone shopping yet.After agreeing to have a meal together, they asked their son to accompany Xueyue, turned around and went out by themselves.

Seeing her mother going out, she came back to look at Xueyue.

"You really have a way of attracting women."

Looking back at Maeda, Xueyue smiled softly and peacefully.

"Really? Hehe, I quite like chatting with Auntie."

Looking at the lover who showed a slight mature temperament, Maeda felt much more at ease.The original appearance is very young. If I dress younger, I don't know if my parents will think of my former lover.In that case, maybe this conversation will not go on.

Maeda's father, who had been fishing late, did not come back until the meal was half done.He had the same reaction as his wife, when he saw Xueyue, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything, he just said hello, and then stopped talking.

After washing their hands, the four of them sat together, and the atmosphere became a little cramped and stiff.Maeda's mother, who was trying to ease the atmosphere, kept chatting with Xueyue, even ignoring her husband and son, as if Xueyue was her child.

"Dad, Mom, I will start working there again in the next two days. If there is a chance, I will bring Xue Yueduo back."

"Huh? Why didn't you come back to see more when you weren't working? When we were all gone?"

Listening to his son's words, the father was very breathless.But with the outside world in front of me, it's not easy to say much.

"Forget it, forget it, you are still angry if you are not happy that your son can come back again, how big of a person..."

While complaining about her husband, she turned her head to Xueyue and said something with a smile.

"Xueyue must come back with him more often in the future. Let this be your home. You can come back anytime you want. Huh?"

Maeda's father, who was still depressed just now, watched his wife talk to this outsider like this, and even turned against him on the first day they met. He was so surprised that his eyes widened, and he wondered what kind of ecstasy soup this kid had poured into his wife.

"Thank you, aunt. I will come back with him to see you two more in the future. Even if he doesn't want to come back, I will drag him back."

Xueyue smiled shallowly, although Maeda's father's complexion was not very good, it did not prevent him from showing such a kind and cute smile.

"Well, Xueyue is really a good boy. But having said that, son, what are you going to do in the future? Are you going to live there?"

"Well, I will work there for the time being, and I like it very much. But there is one more thing I want to tell my parents."

Putting down the chopsticks, Maeda pushed the rice bowl aside, and the hand he put down suddenly grabbed Xueyue's hand under the table, causing the other party to turn his head to look at him suddenly in fright.

"Dad, Mom, I... hope that you can agree to allow Xueyue to be naturalized in the future."

The sound is not very loud, but the four people are very close, no one can't hear it, and no one can't hear it clearly.

The staring Xueyue opened her mouth slightly, she was so surprised that she didn't know how to react, but her uncle's eyes were obviously widened to the limit, even a little angry.Compared with these two, Maeda's mother was not particularly surprised.

She likes Xueyue very much, so even if her son finally decided to naturalize with a boy, it didn't surprise her much.If it was another boy, it would not be so easy to accept, but when she first met Xueyue, she felt that he was a good boy.

"You, you said..."

She opened her mouth but couldn't speak, Xue Yue had never heard this question from the other party.He never expected to have other family members on his household registration in the future. From the beginning to the end, he accepted and got used to being alone.Even if Maeda was walking with him, he never thought about this problem.

That is different from life care or emotional communication, which is real, legal affirmation.Although same-sex marriages can be held, they cannot be truly recognized by law in China at this time.In addition to going abroad to get married, the only way is to euphemistically switch and merge the other party's household registration with your own.

Seeing his son's serious expression, Maeda's father was so shocked that he couldn't remember what to say.The fact that his son is gay can no longer be changed. No matter how hard he put pressure on him, the child resisted fiercely.The family was in a turmoil and was very embarrassed.Until now, he is still unwilling to come back to see his family more often. Although he still can't accept his son's choice of sexuality, when Xue Yue said "Even if he doesn't want to come back, I will drag him back", Secretly shaken up.

"Are you serious... You, have you asked the other party what he thinks?"

Looking at Xueyue's equally astonished face, she had no choice but to ask him in a more tactful way.

"That...uncle! He..."

Not knowing how to open her mouth, the embarrassed Xueyue couldn't care about her gratitude, and couldn't care about the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes, she anxiously wanted to explain but didn't know how to speak.
