middle of the road

On the way back after the evening self-study, a car was parked at a remote and narrow intersection. Cheng Yang passed by. The car honked its horn and slowly started to drive towards him. , Cheng Yang put his feet on the ground and stopped the car.

Chi Haidong got down from above, and someone looked at him from behind the car door, "Cheng Yang, right?"

Different from the aggressiveness of the last time we met, this time Chi Haidong's expression was quite gentle, but under the restrained face, there was still a kind of seriousness without anger, "Since you have met me, I won't introduce myself much. Alright, do you have time, let's have a chat if it's convenient."

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Cheng Yang raised his hand and looked.

"Of course it's about you and my son, Chi Yu." Chi Haidong looked around, "It won't take you too much time, if you don't mind, come talk in my car."

This area is a bit out of the way, and this spot is still open, and they are all small shops such as daily necessities, and there is no place to talk quietly for a while.

Chi Haidong asked Li Lin to go down to smoke a cigarette first, Li Lin came over and opened the door on the other side for him, Cheng Yang looked at it for a while, parked the car and sat in.

"I won't play around with you, I'll just talk straight if I have something to say." Chi Haidong took off his coat after entering and put it on his knees, "You and my son Chi Yu, what is the relationship between you two? Can you tell me?" say?"

The air in the car was a bit stuffy, Cheng Yang's door was not closed tightly, leaving a gap, he didn't sit firmly, and leaned slightly, "What about him, why did he tell you?"

"Don't worry about what he said, I want to hear your opinion now." Chi Haidong looked at him.

Cheng Yang didn't speak, which was tantamount to acquiescing to Chi Haidong what Chi Yu had meant before. Although he didn't know what he said, since Chi Haidong was able to come to him alone for this matter, it meant that Chi Yu had at least Admittedly, their relationship was improper.

Chi Haidong sat back and stared at his profile, "Cheng Yang, let me ask you, answer me honestly, are you gay?"

Whether he is or not, this is a very private question for him. Chi Haidong asked him directly, which made him feel a little embarrassed, but since he decided to come up, he did it on the bottom line that he could answer, and asked him His attitude expresses clear preparations, he doesn't want to see the embarrassing scene downstairs like the last time at their house, and he doesn't like anyone questioning him in an attitude of catching rape.

He shook his head, "No."

When Chi Haidong heard him say no, his face slowly sank, "He should have told you that he was no, right?"

"Ah."

"Then what are you doing like this now? Are you messing around together?!" Chi Haidong took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. It's ironic that he has been practicing for so many years in the mall. The ability to hide emotions and anger, but only in front of this son, or when faced with matters related to him, he has been unprincipled and humbled to him time and time again, and now it is because he is too heartbroken , and some can't control their emotions.

He admitted that it was his negligence in disciplining him that made him act so presumptuously now, without caring about the consequences at all, so this time, in terms of choices that affect his entire life trajectory in the future, he will never let him say anything .

"He is immature and ignorant, and you will accompany him?" After Chi Haidong calmed down for a while, he slowed down his voice, "Don't blame me for speaking harshly, you are all in the third year of high school, and the college entrance examination is one or two months away. It’s not a big deal to go back to school for another year. If you want to go abroad, there are still many schools. What will you do then? I know a little about the situation in your family, can you allow you to be like him, just take fresh pictures for fun?”

"Also, how long have you known him, and how much do you know him?" Chi Haidong said, "If he really wants to be with you, he should make good plans for your future instead of using you and me at this juncture. Be angry, believe me, no one can scratch my sore spots better than him."

Chi Haidong's words sounded like he was thinking about him at first, but in fact every sentence hit him in the face, implying that he couldn't afford to play with Chi Yu, no matter whether Chi Yu had feelings for him or not, did he really want to be with him? Together, at the end of this game, he must be the one who loses all games.

However, after what he mentioned in his words...

"How do you know he's not there?" Cheng Yang clasped his hands, and slowly rubbed his protruding bones. Unlike Chi Haidong's emotional opening and closing, he had always shown his face since he came up. A calmness and calmness that did not match his age.

"My own son, don't I know?" Chi Haidong smiled slightly when he said this, as if a little sympathetic to his innocence, "Maybe he told you all about me and him... about my mother It does have some influence on him, and I am responsible for that, but do you know that during the time he knew you, he was dating another girl at the same time?"

Cheng Yang's hand stopped. This was the only small movement he made after hearing this question. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Did he mean to ask you to come to me?"

"Of course not." Chi Haidong said, "It's my own idea. I'll tell you the truth. You'll know it when you're with him."

"Then what is your purpose, let me leave him?"

"I can help you transfer right now to a better private school than No. [-] Middle School. Of course, I will also arrange everything, including your younger brothers and sisters."

Hearing that this meant that he wanted him to leave the city, Cheng Yang smiled, "Then why don't you just let him transfer and spend so much effort on me?"

"If I can talk to impress him, why would I sit here?" Chi Haidong asked back.

"Then why do you think you can move me?"

"It seems that you are going to refuse?" Chi Haidong's tone carried a trace of majesty.

"You can ask him how we started." Cheng Yang turned to look at him.

"What do you mean, I want to say that you have a deep relationship?"

Cheng Yang shook his head, "I don't want to leave not because I miss him, but because I don't want to leave in this way. As for him, you can talk to him more, since you think he is angry with you, then always be angry One day is gone, isn't it?"

Cheng Yang spoke unhurriedly, with clear articulation, and even without any ups and downs in his tone, but from his few short sentences, he could still hear some young people's arrogant stubbornness. What Chi Haidong said It made him lose "face", he felt it.

Cheng Yang was about to push the door, when the phone rang, and accidentally slipped out of his pocket during the vibration, Chi Haidong glanced there, he was of the same brand and model as Chi Yu, and given his family conditions, it was impossible If you can afford it, it is self-evident who gave it to you.

"You pick it up first." Chi Haidong said.

Cheng Yang put the phone down and put it back in his pocket.

"Maybe you think he doesn't listen to me, and I can't interfere with his choice." Chi Haidong said, "But have you ever thought that his choice must be you, or do you think he is so innocent that he never thinks about it?" These?"

"Young people should learn to be smarter, take advantage of the conditions now, and do something that is beneficial to themselves, and don't really regret it until the day when people and money are empty."

Cheng Yang went out without looking back at him, nor did he listen to his advice to let him go back and think about it.

"Then wait until that day." He said, he nodded to Li Lin who was smoking outside, then closed the car door and left.

The phone rang again, and Chi Yu called, but Cheng Yang still didn't answer. Chi Haidong's seemingly harsh words made him very uncomfortable, so he was like the rich wife on TV who gave the little white rabbit heroine 500 million. , let her leave his excellent multi-gold son the same.

Chi Haidong couldn't control Chi Yu, so he had to come over and take him under the knife. In fact, he could understand this point. Perhaps it was simply a father thinking about his son's future and wanting to prevent him from living in such a dark and muddy road. The road got deeper and deeper.

What he cares about is Chi Haidong's tone of voice, as if the relationship between him and Chi Yu is real, and they are really inseparable. It may be a common problem of parents, and they will exaggerate when worrying about their children. , He thought the enemy was too powerful.

But is that really the case?Did Chi Yu really show a strong affection for Chi Haidong in front of him?But why didn't he feel it, and if he didn't, why did Chi Haidong have such a big misunderstanding, and even arranged for him to leave here.

In fact, in the conversation just now, not only Chi Haidong was asking him, but he was also asking himself what kind of relationship they have now. Chi Yu never gave him a clear answer, he just promised him a no. In the distant future, is this enough?

That's enough, Cheng Yang thought as he rode on the bike.

Is this not enough?

What else does he want from him, sworn to each other?

The only thing he can guarantee now is that he will not leave one step later.

In fact, he could have said that it was Chi Yu who was pestering him just now, but that would be too ungrateful.

Cheng Yang suddenly felt a little funny when he thought of this. After all, they haven't even graduated from high school, so how much can they ask for the future.

He stopped the car, took out his phone again, and called Chi Yu back.

"Not home yet?" As soon as Chi Yu picked it up, he heard a noisy background voice from him.

"I bought something along the way." Cheng Yang said, "Is there anything wrong?"

"I can't call you if I have nothing to do." Chi Yu clicked his tongue, "I'll go find you later."

"This point?"

"Can't you?" Chi Yu sniffed, "Then what, suddenly... I don't know why... I miss you a little bit."

Chi Yu probably didn't know that Chi Haidong had come to look for him, and Chi Haidong probably hadn't gone back yet. He originally wanted to refuse, but the meeting just after the conversation meant a little to demonstrate to Chi Haidong, but in the end he didn't know why. Like Chi Yu, he said for some reason, "Come here."

Chi Yu came very quickly, almost on the same level as him.

He came by car, and Chi Haidong didn't know whether he forgot it in a hurry or didn't want to use it twice, but he didn't take it back until now, but Chi Yu planned that he would take it again, so he went to buy it himself, anyway. He can buy it now too.

Coming to Cheng Yang's house means that the two of them can't do anything, so Chi Yu brought some papers over. Since he can't do it, let's do something serious. After school started, his schedule was adjusted to [-] o'clock, and he still felt sleepy during the day at first. , and then slowly got used to it, after all, it was an extraordinary time.

He also brought some fruit over, put Cheng Ying and Cheng Le's in the refrigerator, and kept Cheng Yang's alone, and kept watching that there was no leftover soup for him to finish.

The two were sitting in the living room reviewing together, Cheng Yang seemed a little out of shape today, Chi Yu saw him take a long time to turn the page.

"What's wrong?" Chi Yu asked, "What are you thinking?"

Cheng Yang looked up at him, put down the pen, leaned back on the back of the chair, and suddenly asked, "Do you like girls?"

"Of course." Chi Yu didn't look at him, and continued to stare at the paper, "Which man doesn't like it, especially the pretty ones."

After thinking for a while, he said: "But there are exceptions, like Fu Jin, I don't feel it."

"Don't look at his different orientations, the requirements for beauty are not low at all." He also raised his head to look at Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang didn't respond, Chi Yu noticed that he had been staring at the front door in a daze, and shook his hands in front of him, "Hey."

Cheng Yang looked at him, with a dazed and confused expression on his face, Chi Yu smiled, "Why don't you like it?"

Cheng Yang still didn't speak, Chi Yu glanced at him ambiguously, and leaned closer, "Or...you've been fucked by me so much that you don't have feelings for women anymore?"

Cheng Yang withdrew his gaze, turned his eyes towards him, and the "squeak" sound of the chair he had been stepping on before stopped.

Chi Yu coughed, and was a little embarrassed by him for a moment, but he smiled back, "I'm just joking."

He grabbed Cheng Yang's hand on the test paper, pulled him a little closer, and kissed his ear. Cheng Yang's earlobe was very soft, probably the part of his body that made him feel soft besides his butt.

He lightly pecked and kissed it twice, "I used to like women, but now, I only like you."
