Break-up - Chapter 61
Gu Yanting was about to get off work when he received a call from Gu’s mother.
“Yanting, where is Xiaoyi? I called him and said it was turned off.”
“He’s on a business trip today, so he might be on the road at the moment.” Gu Yanting smiled and raised his wrist to check the time, “But it’s almost landing, he’ll be there at six o’clock. Mom , do you have something to do with him?”
“It’s okay, what can I do?” Mom Gu said with a smile, “Doesn’t he like to eat cakes baked with locust blossoms? Your dad went out fishing today and just picked a lot of them back, look. That way, I can drive a lot on weekends, and I think he will come home. After you finish eating, you can bring some back home.”
Gu Yanting snorted and said, “Why don’t I go get it? He will come back the day after tomorrow, so he may not be free.”
“That’s it,” Gu’s mother was a little disappointed, and after a while, she sighed, “Okay, you can come back when you come back.”
Tang Yi was on a errand this time, and will actually be back tomorrow. Gu Yanting subconsciously refused for him, but there was no other meaning. It was because Gu’s mother called Tang Yi back too often recently. The Spring Festival Lantern Festival is nothing but the Arbor Day and the Tomb-sweeping Day this year. In addition to picking wild vegetables, I also call Tang Yi, and the seasonal Sophora japonica toon is even more justifiable.
Gu Yanting is about to die.
When Tang Yi arrived at the hotel in the evening and sent him a message, Gu Yanting simply called back, and when he heard the low voice with laughter, it was rare that he was not a hooligan, but sighed a long Long breath.
“Tang Yi, my mother called you back for dinner again.”
Tang Yi smiled and hummed, a little surprised to hear this, “Didn’t I… just went there last week?”
“Yes, the old lady told you to go back to eat locust jasmine,” Gu Yanting tutted, and said rather unhappily, “She is my mother and your mother, I said I will do it for you She’s not happy to go back.”
Tang Yi just smiled but didn’t answer, and when Gu Yanting sighed enough, he said solemnly, “This is quite normal, isn’t it all?”
“Huh?” Gu Yanting was stunned for a moment.
“The more the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more pleasing to the eye.” Tang Yi smiled, “What do you think?”
“…” Gu Yanting paused, but did not refute.
Tang Yi raised his eyebrows, and when he was just teasing him a few more words, he heard Gu Yanting shouting, “Husband.”
“…”
Tang Yi was stunned.
“I think,” Gu Yanting paused, then took a deep breath and said, “My mother…Maybe, she already knows our relationship.”
——-
Gu Yanting had always wanted to come out of the closet, but most of the time he just silently calculated. His original intention was to give Tang Yi a name, so he never talked to Tang Yi, and even thought about when Tang Yi was on a business trip, he secretly went back and confessed the matter.
Until Tang Yi knew, he stopped him.
That was a year ago, before Wei Wei was picked up by Zhou Hao. Wei Wei added up before and after, and lived with them for a total of three months. In the past three months, the atmosphere at home has been harmonious and happy, and the children are extraordinarily well-behaved and sensible, which is naturally attractive.
At the end of that year, Zhou Hao was going abroad, and he couldn’t come back during the New Year, so Gu Yanting wrapped his child happily and went home for the New Year.
The direct consequence of this incident is that Gu’s mother likes what the child likes so much, and lovingly hugs Weiwei and puts all the delicious food in the house in front of him, as if she suddenly woke up In the same way, he began to question Gu Yanting’s life-long affairs.
Tang Yi was one step behind him at that time, and when he pushed in the door, he happened to bump into Gu’s mother leaning over to ask Gu Yanting, “Didn’t you say that there is a girl you have a crush on? What? Is there any? play?”
Gu Yanting: “!!”
Tang Yi heard the sound and tilted his face slightly, but still smiled slightly, without any fluctuation. Gu Yanting’s heart was agitated, and he straightened his body and explained to Gu’s mother anxiously, “Mom, there is no girl! You remember it wrong!”
“Yes! What’s the one called Ling? Didn’t you mention it before?” Gu’s mother said with certainty, seeing Weiwei blinking curiously and looking up, her lips moved, and the following words swallowed again.
She rubbed Weiwei’s hair and turned to say, “You are too old, and sooner or later you will have to start a family. This is the house that my father and I bought for you as a wedding house. You will find it later. Daughter-in-law, our old couple will live there, not with you.”
Gu Yanting also thought about the words when he was urged to marry by his parents before. He knew that this was a hurdle that could not be bypassed, and he had to face it sooner or later. But things really came, and the set of big truths he had prepared didn’t work.
Papa Gu on the other side happily took out the chessboard and called Tang Yi to put it on the small table. Gu Yanting glanced at Tang Yi worriedly, and finally wrinkled He raised his brows and said dryly, “Mom, I know my affairs, and now I have no plans to get married, so don’t worry about it, okay?”
“Hey, that’s what I said, I don’t worry about who you worry about! Can I take care of him if you bring someone on the street?” Mother Gu glanced at him and sighed, “I’m with you Dad doesn’t have any requirements, no matter how good or bad the girl’s family is, whether she is ugly or handsome, as long as she is upright, you can close your eyes. If you think this house is broken, you can sell it for two years and live in the city. That’s fine. My dad and I both have retirement salaries, so it won’t be a drag on you.”
Gu’s mother is a kind mother at home and rarely forces Gu Yanting to do anything. This time the speech also stopped, but Gu Yanting was entangled in his heart.
When Gu Yanting heard the sound of the bedroom door closing, he reached out and grabbed Tang Yi’s hand. After turning over to hold it, he whispered, “Tang Yi, I want to come out of the closet.”
Gu Yanting has thought about many scenarios of coming out of the closet, and has even been thinking about the worst consequences, but there is no definite answer. There are all kinds of people in this world, everyone has different personalities, different opinions, and naturally different reactions to the same thing. Around Gu Yanting, there are fathers and sons who have turned their heads because of coming out of the closet, and there are also people who are happy and get along with their parents happily. The atmosphere in one guy’s house was even lighthearted, the parents were not shocked, not disappointed, and there was no hysterical arguments and beatings.
That is the best result Gu Yanting can think of, he hopes so, but he also knows that in front of the traditional concept of Gu Mama and Gu Dad, there is almost no such possibility.
Tang Yi allowed Gu Yanting to hold his hand and did not make a sound. After waiting for a while, he sighed and touched Gu Yanting, “Don’t.”
Gu Yanting grabbed his hand tightly.
“I know it’s not easy to do, but I don’t want to be sneaky all the time, and I don’t want you to be wronged because of this,” Gu Yanting said in a low voice, “If it wasn’t for the New Year, my father would let you Come, don’t you plan to come here? We will have a long time in the future, so we can’t hide like this forever, and the New Year and festivals will not be together. “
Tang Yi is cautious, afraid that he will often come to Gu’s father and Gu’s mother to see the clue. But he was afraid that Gu Yanting would be embarrassed between him and his parents, so he sent the latter to go home during the holidays. Gu Yanting saw clearly all the time, and felt sorry for him, so he could only make two trips home as much as possible, and then reduce the time spent each time. The only gratification now is that the home is indeed a lot more lively after VV, and Tang Yi would not be alone if he were not at home.
“Yes, we have a long life in the future,” Tang Yi smiled, “so be filial to your parents first.” He was silent for a while, and then said softly, “We are a little bit more now. Pressure, but it is not difficult to overcome. It is easy to come out and come out, but if it is bad, what will happen next, they will suffer multiple blows, and what the consequences will be, we can’t predict. “
Gu Yanting opened his mouth, and finally closed it tightly without speaking.
Tang Yi turned his face and smiled, took out his hand and patted his face lightly, exhorting: “During the Chinese New Year and festivals, you should come back to accompany your parents, VV is at home to accompany you. I.”
“Well,” Gu Yanting said after being silent for a while, “I know, what are you worried about.”
“Huh?” Tang Yi smiled.
“My parents always thought that I didn’t remember the past at all, just like I was worried that they would not want me when I was a child, they are also worried now, afraid that I will see my biological father or mother someday, I have other thoughts.” Gu Yanting sighed softly, “I have been hesitant to tell them about the Zhou family. Actually, you are afraid that they will be overly concerned about it, and you want me to maintain the status quo, right?”
When he wants to come out, it is difficult and easy. The standard of evaluation is just how cruel he can be – this cruelty is not towards himself, but towards his parents. Whether it was the matter of his life experience or the inner worries of the Gu family’s parents, it was destined that the second elder would not take an overly tough attitude and means towards him.
But that doesn’t mean they’re not sad. They have always regarded Gu Yanting as their own sons, and they don’t want to wrong him at all, and they don’t put in less effort than other parents. But they are destined to lack a layer of blood. Others’ father and son break the bones and connect the tendons, but they can’t. What they have always feared in their hearts is that if this son is really beaten, it may be broken.
Tang Yi didn’t want Gu Yanting to tell the Gu family’s parents about Zhou Dongchuan. Even if Gu Yanting can express his attitude with sincere words, it is impossible for the parents of the Gu family not to worry in front of the disparate Zhou family.
On the big screen at the back of the stage are the VCRs recorded by the families of several fighters.
“Let them be good, Yan Ting.” Tang Yi looked at the TV at the time, turned his face slightly, and said softly, “Actually, you have such good parents, I am very envious. So I You won’t feel wronged.”
Tang Yi said calmly, and has always been like this since then. If there is a conflict between his affairs and the Gu family’s parents, he will definitely let Gu Yanting take care of the second old man first.
Gu Yanting was both moved and distressed. Once, his father was seriously ill. When he came home to visit, he was always distracted when he sat by the bed alone. When Gu’s mother handed him the boiled porridge to let him eat, he held the bowl and didn’t move. Gu’s mother asked him what was wrong, Gu Yanting shook his head, lowered his head and said, “Tang Yi had a fever with pneumonia when I came. I don’t know if he has a bowl of porridge to drink at this time.”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly returned to his senses, and looked up at his mother with some regret. Fortunately, the latter didn’t hear anything, just hesitated for a while, and patted him, “Why don’t you go back and have a look.”
Gu’s mother was soft-hearted, and when Gu Yanting went back, she always asked about Tang Yi’s situation. Sometimes I ask about work, sometimes I ask about my body. When Gu’s mother first knew Tang Yi, she also liked him very much, but at that time most of the time she kept an extra copy for Gu Yanting, and she was mostly sympathetic and polite. It wasn’t until the last year that I really took the initiative to understand.
Gu Yanting is no longer the hairy boy who just came out of the campus and speaks freely. He and Gu’s mother talked about Tang Yi’s past, Tang Yi’s present, and many trivial things in his and Tang Yi’s life.
Although he is out of the closet, he also hopes that his parents can understand the importance of Tang Yi to him. Whether they understand it as friendship, brother in need, or something else.
——-
“Then let’s go back this weekend.” After listening to Gu Yanting, Tang Yi was silent for a while before saying, “We are together.”
“Then,” Gu Yanting paused and said, “If the speculation is true, should I come out? Confess?”
Tang Yi walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel with his mobile phone and looked outside quietly. As soon as Gu Yanting finished speaking, all the street lamps not far away came on with a snap.
“Actually, it doesn’t matter.” Tang Yi looked into the distance, smiled and said, “A lot of things don’t have to be so clear, we just understand.”
For example, the master bedroom door that was not closed on New Year’s Eve, or the two childhood photos of Gu Yanting given to him by mother Gu.
Sometimes the difference is just a layer of window paper. If we can find a comfortable and decent distance for each other, there is no difference between this layer of paper being broken or not.
