There was silence in the air for a while.
Bai Zihua and Wu Mo didn't speak. Bai Ruo was sitting on the single sofa in the background, looking down at the phone, pretending that she didn't hear anything.
Percy looked at this and that, wondering what his parents meant.
"You... why don't you talk," Bai Xi said anxiously, "don't you like Qi Xun?"
With a sigh in his heart, he opened his mouth and wanted to enumerate the various advantages of Qi Xun.
But Bai Zihua touched his head, "I'm not dissatisfied..."
His face was a little subtle.
Of course he is very familiar with Qi Xun. He has been friends with Percy for so many years, and he has visited his house many times. He has always admired Qi Xun very much. He is also very measured in his behavior, which is simply the benchmark for the younger generation in the circle.
But now that this outstanding junior suddenly became his son's boyfriend, Bo Zihua couldn't tell how he felt.
He looked at Percy, she was twenty-five years old, and her face was childish, and her clothes were fluffy, as if she had never grown up. When looking for such a shrewd and strong partner, his family, Xixi, would not eat to the death.
But to say that he is not satisfied, it is Qi Xun's condition. Most of the girls hate him for being gay, and he can't find a candidate with a lantern.
Bo Zihua didn't know what attitude he should take, so he glanced at his wife for help.
Wu Mo ignored him, and lowered her head to drink tea calmly, "If you have something to say, see what I do?"
Failing to ask for help, Bai Zihua could only turn his face to his son depressed.
Percy looked at him expectantly, and he couldn't say anything serious, he could only say, "You're so old, Dad didn't want to interfere with your romance, but aren't you two good brothers, Rabbit? If you don't eat the grass by the side of the nest, how can he do it to you. And I thought you would find someone who knows the cold and the heat, and is more caring, Qi Xun, it's a little different from what I thought. "
"Dad, you said the opposite," Percy corrected seriously, "it wasn't him who shot me, it was I who liked him first, and I chased him."
It's not a lie for him. Although he and Qi Xun didn't follow the process, he was always the one who was tempted first.
"And he's very nice and gentle," Percy said, with a shy smile involuntarily, "You may not know him well, he's not like what he looks like, he's very patient and responsible. Last time I had a small illness, I didn't tell you, and he was taking care of me in the hospital."
Bo Zihua choked up when he said something to his son.
He and Wu Mo looked at each other.
What else is there to say, just by looking at Percy's sweet appearance, I know that my son is planted.
When a parent, in fact, always hope that the other party likes their children more.
But then again, their son likes others wholeheartedly, and they can't stop him.
"Okay, as long as you're happy," Bai Zihua patted his son on the shoulder and tried to show a smile, "No matter what you do, Dad will support you."
Wu Mo is not as emotional as Bai Zihua, but just looked at her son with a pair of gentle and calm eyes, "You talk about love yourself, you control it yourself, I can't control it."
Percy's eyes became more sour, but all the words seemed pale at this time. He hugged his parents, "Thank you."
Thank you for loving me so much.
Bai Ruo was a wallflower by the side for a long time, and finally smiled.
She came over, hugged her parents, and said bluntly, "You are so tolerant to my brother, so no matter who I bring back, you all recognize me?"
Bo Zihua and Wu Mo were taken aback by their son, and upon hearing this, they looked at their daughter together.
"Why, are you coming out too?!" Bai Zihua's voice almost changed.
Bai Ruo: "..."
Bai Ruo: "There is no such plan for the time being."
The Bai family's couple breathed a sigh of relief.
After coming out successfully, Percy immediately went to call Qi Xun.
Standing by the window, he could vaguely see Qi Xun's car parked on the side of the road, blocked by evergreen trees, so he couldn't see it clearly.
The phone was connected in a second.
Before Qi Xun could speak, Percy couldn't help but excitedly said to Qi Xun, "My parents agree."
Qi Xun was stunned.
He was restless for an hour, and several times he wanted to ignore Percy's wishes and knock on the door of Percy's house to see what happened to Percy.
Now that Percy suddenly told him that coming out was solved so smoothly, he felt unreal.
"Really?" he asked hesitantly. "How did your parents react?"
Percy put his arms on the window sill, he pushed the window open a crack, and the plum blossoms bloomed in front of the window, and the bright yellow petals fell all over the floor.
"My parents accepted it quickly, and they were not unhappy. They said that as long as I was happy, it didn't matter whether I liked a man or a woman," Percy still has a sore nose, and the tip of his nose is red, but his face is always Hanging a smile, "They know that my love object is you, and they are very relieved."
Qi Xun held the phone and didn't speak for a few seconds.
Fortunately, he thought.
Percy grew up in a different environment than him.
meet (modified)
Perhaps it was because Percy's parents were tolerant and open-minded enough to raise Percy to be so gentle and kind, even a little naive.
He didn't think it was a good word before, because people who were too soft-hearted were often vulnerable.
Before meeting Percy, his circle was full of smart people, and it was good not to bully others.
But after meeting Percy, he felt that he was innocent and gentle, and it was also a gift, a gift that made people around him feel at ease.
He closed his eyes and smiled, "That's good."
He said to Percy, "Your parents love you very much."
Percy thought so too.
He always knew that his parents loved him, but he seemed to underestimate how deep the love his parents gave him.
He asked Qi Xun, "Would you like to come in for lunch? Anyway, my parents know it now."
Qi Xun thought for a while, "Forget it today, I haven't prepared anything, so it's not good to visit in a hurry. Besides, you just came out of the closet with them, so you have to give them some time to get used to it."
Percy thought so too.
As soon as he announced that he had a boyfriend, it seemed a little too exciting to force his parents to face his boyfriend face to face.
"Okay then." He pursed his lips.
Qi Xun asked him again, "Are you going to stay at home for a few days? Tell me if you want to go back, and I'll pick you up."
"I should go back tomorrow night."
"Okay." Qi Xun started the car, "Then I'll go first."
"Um."
Percy was still a little reluctant to hang up the phone. He looked at the direction of Qi Xun's car, wondering if Qi Xun would also look at him in the car.
"Oh yes, I have something to tell you." Qi Xun said again on the phone.
Percy pricked up her ears. "What's the matter?"
Qi Xun looked in the direction of the Bai family's villa, and he knew that Bai Xi should be behind the window.
He whispered, "My parents also agreed."
Percy didn't understand for a while, but soon he heard Qi Xun's explanation.
"I didn't tell you two days ago. I went home and told my parents that I was in love with you. I've been with you for several months. I'm serious."
Percy was stunned.
A plum blossom floated down from the branch and landed in his open palm.
He didn't expect that before he had a showdown with his parents, Qi Xun had already taken the lead and communicated with his parents.
He was a little incoherent with excitement, "Why didn't you tell me... The uncle and aunt, are you satisfied with me?"
He said the last three words very quietly.
In fact, he has been to Qi's house many times. Qi's parents have always been very kind to him, but now facing the change of identity, he is still worried about gain and loss.
Qi Xun said, "How could they not like you? My parents were very satisfied with you, but they scolded me instead."
Percy didn't believe it. "Why? What are they scolding you for?"
Qi Xun leaned on the back of the chair, thinking it was a bit ironic, his credit rating with his parents was indeed extremely low.
"They think I must have abducted you, and they scolded me for taking children from good families. They were disobedient and dragged you into the water."
Percy didn't think that was the reason.
He laughed again, letting go of his hanging heart.
"That's it, I'm afraid your parents will be unhappy." He told Qi Xun coquettishly.
"How could that be," Qi Xun's eyes softened, as if to coax people, but also as if he was just stating the facts, "Xixi, you are more likable than you thought."
He paused for a few seconds, and then asked again, "My parents still want to invite you to play at home during the Chinese New Year, would you?"
There was a brief silence in Percy.
But soon, Qi Xun heard Percy's excited voice.
"I'm going, no, I mean I would." Percy was terribly happy.
His happiness also infected Qi Xun.
Qi Xun looked up at the rear-view mirror, and found that his expression in the mirror was so gentle that it didn't look like him.
After hanging up, Percy leaned against the window for a while, feeling that his love situation was in good shape.
Bo Ruo passed by with a box of fruit, smiling at him so completely incomprehensible, stupid.
She patted Percy on the shoulder, "After dinner, don't stand still."
On Sunday night, Qi Xun came over to pick up Bai Xi home by appointment, sat at Bai's house for a while, and brought gifts for the Bai family and his wife.
Bo Zihua and Wu Mo were still somewhat embarrassed, and they couldn't adapt to the change of identity for a while.
But Percy had already greeted them both, saying that he and Qi Xun had not been in love for a long time, so they should not ask nonsense.
The two of them could only hold back their words.
Fortunately, everyone present, except Percy, is a good person in the social arena. No matter whether it is a little awkward or not, the chat atmosphere is not cold at all.
And when it was almost eight o'clock, Percy urged Qi Xun to leave.
"I also booked movie tickets. If I don't leave, it will be too late," he told his parents. "I'll be back in a few days."
his parents too
