Xia Wan stared at Xie Ning for a long time, but was shocked by his firm and decisive attitude.
Her voice became sharp: "Ningning..."
As soon as he exited, he realized that his tone had changed.
Shainin has rarely had such a tough attitude.
His nature is like this, most people and things don't pay attention to it, it's okay to say it doesn't matter, it's okay to say it's docile.
Everything goes with the flow, just as it happens.
Even when he came out of the closet back then, he never looked like he did not listen to anyone's advice as he is today.
This made Xia Wan feel at a loss.
In a sense, this is the first time Shainin has really brought someone he likes to his parents.
He came out early, but under the mental pressure of the psychologist Xia Wan found, he never really liked anyone.
Xu Qing is just a shield used to prevaricate the introduction of Xia Wan's blind date. Unless necessary, Xie Ning will not bring people home on purpose.
Just let Xia Wan know that he has a boyfriend and give up the heart of introducing girls.
Zhuang Yan was the first person to introduce himself in front of his parents, saying, "This is my boyfriend".
Xia Wan still remembered that many years ago, when Xie Ning told her that when he liked a man, the expression on his face was frightened, disturbed, and a little hopeful.
It seemed that he was waiting for Xia Wan's comfort.
Waiting for Xia Wan to tell him: It's okay, it's normal.
However, Xia Wan let his expectations come to nothing, and even caused him to be in this kind of panic, fear and pain for a long time.
Shaining has changed now.
Become calm and indifferent.
There was no fear or hope in his eyes, as if Xia Wan was just an unimportant person.
Her reactions and replies also became irrelevant.
Zhuang Yan took Xie Ning's hand and stood up with him.
He felt that Xie Ning couldn't bear this kind of thing alone.
This action of his seemed to stimulate Xia Wan, she took a deep breath and said sharply: "I won't agree!"
Xie Ning closed his eyes, opened them again, and smiled unhurriedly: "You still don't understand. I never thought you would agree... I don't care whether you agree or not."
Xia Wan suddenly felt that she was about to lose this son.
Or, she has already lost this son, but Xie Ning never let her know it before.
She stretched out her hand to pull Xie Ning, but it was too big, Xie Jing next to her subconsciously hugged her.
Xia Wan fell back in despair and sat on the sofa: "You are all men... How can you be together."
Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "I don't understand what Auntie said, why can't we be together."
He said: "I like Shainin, and Shainin likes me. Naturally we can be together."
His attitude was too arrogant and his expression was too calm, making Xia Wan unable to speak for a while.
Xie Ning hooked the corner of his lips, and the hand held by Zhuang Yan tightened.
Shainin has never been a serious temperament, sometimes even so peaceful that people think he has no edges and corners.
Others say that he is indifferent and indifferent, whether you praise him or scold him, he will not respond, let alone quarreling with you.
Only in front of those close to him can he reveal his true appearance.
Others thought he was ice, but Zhuang Yan thought he was as soft as a puddle of water, which could melt in his arms and let him knead.
Today, Xie Ning was more than he expected.
It was like turning into an ice pick and stabbing straight at it.
Because Zhuang Yan gave him strength.
Xie Ning thought, Zhuang Yan is like this, he always feels that what he does and what he insists on is right for granted.
He won't doubt, and he won't back down.
He said: "I found such a good boyfriend, and it was too late for them to be satisfied."
He said: "We will always be together. Love, marry, live."
From spring to winter, from present to future, from blue silk to white head.
Xie Ning couldn't describe this feeling in words. When he was with Zhuang Yan, he inexplicably gained confidence that they could go on like this.
He suddenly raised the power of toughness in front of his parents, which was brought to him by Zhuang Yan's attitude and the attitude of Zhuang Yan's parents.
His fear was appeased, and his expectations had long been fulfilled.
When he faced Xia Wan, he was calm and didn't feel anything.
Xia Wan's emotions were too excited, her chest heaving violently, Xie Jing felt that she was not in a good state, and simply took her to the next room to rest.
Song Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Zhuang Yan and Xie Ning, but she was worried and followed.
Only Zhuang Yan and Xie Ning were left in the hall.
Xie Ning suddenly turned around and hugged Zhuang Yan, all the strength in his body seemed to be taken away, and he fell on Zhuang Yan at once.
His voice was a little dull: "Thank you."
Zhuang Yan comforted him twice on his back and said, "what did you say to me thank you."
After a pause, he added: "I'm very happy today, you would introduce me like this in front of my parents, I thought..."
"Why?" Xie Ning said slowly, "Did you think I wouldn't take the initiative to introduce your identity?"
Zhuang Yan kissed his hair sideways without answering.
Xie Ning said: "Love is mutual, respect is also, understanding is also, so is giving and returning. You can't always be alone worrying about me."
Zhuang Yan thought for a while and asked, "So it's because I have introduced you to my parents?"
Shainin corrected: "That's only part of the reason."
"What about other reasons?" Zhuang Yan was curious.
Xie Ning was silent for a few seconds and said, "It may be because you gave me the courage to face my parents."
By Zhuang Yan's side, he is always full of a sense of security.
In the past, he was like a lonely boat floating on the sea, aimless and frightened, and could be sunk by the waves anytime, anywhere.
Now he seems to be sitting on the broad back of the blue whale, looking up at the blue sky, the scattered clouds, even if he rolls randomly on it, he will not be swept away by the waves.
After separating from Xie Ning, Xia Wan's expression also calmed down.
Xie Jing took care of her for a while, entrusted her to Song Qingqing, and went out to find Xie Ning and Zhuang Yan.
He said he wanted to talk to Zhuang Yan.
Xie Ning was surprised and subconsciously wanted to talk to the past, but Xie Jing said that he wanted to chat with Zhuang Yan alone.
Xie Ning was a little uneasy, but Zhuang Yan gave him a soothing look, and silently said the word "rest assured" with his mouth.
Zhuang Yan was also curious about what Xie Jing wanted to say to him, but Xie Jing didn't speak for a long time when the two went out for a long time.
Finally, he sighed deeply: "My dad and I used to play together when we were young."
Zhuang Yan thought it was about playing the warmth card: "my dad also said that my grandfather and Mr. Xie have a very good relationship, and you have been put together since you were young."
Xie Jing seemed to smile: "It's just that the friendship faded later."
Zhuang Yan only said: "The two will resume friendship in the future."
Xie Jing glanced at him and said, "Your temper is not the same as your father." After a pause, he continued, "It's almost the same as your grandfather."
These words were talked about by elders, and Zhuang Yan was not easy to answer, so he just responded with a smile.
Xie Jing was still thinking about Xia Wan, who was in a bad mood, and didn't talk too much with Zhuang Yan. He took out a red envelope from the bag and stuffed it into Zhuang Yan's hand.
Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment.
Xie Jing said, "You came too suddenly, and I didn't have time to do any preparations. You should take this red envelope first."
Zhuang Yan looked down at the red envelope, but didn't respond for a while: "This is...?"
Xie Jing pressed his forehead and said, "Isn't it the first time I came to the door, what about the greetings?"
Only then did Zhuang Yan react.
He was a little surprised, and after a while, he said, "You... can you accept us?"
Xie Jing smiled bitterly: "Ning Ning said it like that. If I accept it or not, what effect will it have on you?"
Zhuang Yan clenched his hand tightly holding the red envelope: "If that's the case, he still hopes you can accept it calmly."
Xie Jing shook his head and said nothing.
Zhuang Yan asked, "I probably understand your attitude, but why don't you persuade Aunt Xia?"
Xie Jing asked back, "How do you know I didn't persuade me?"
Zhuang Yan was startled.
Xie Jing shook his head and said, "There are some things that can be persuaded to come back without a single word of persuasion. That is Xia Wan's heart disease and can't be easily touched. I have thought of many ways over the years, but..."
Zhuang Yan frowned: "Heart disease?"
Xie Jing didn't want to say more, just said: "You should also understand that not everything can be both.
Zhuang Yan suddenly understood something.
He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "So for so many years, you tossed between Aunt Xia and Ning Ning, and finally chose Aunt Xia, right?"
Xie Jing looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.
In the end, he said: "I may be a good husband, but I failed to be a good father. We deserve to be treated coldly by Xie Ning for so many years."
Zhuang Yan lowered his eyes and clenched his hands slowly, feeling more and more distressed for Xie Ning.
Xie Jing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although Xie Ning may not have this position, Xie Ning will take care of him in the future."
Zhuang Yan felt a fire in his heart, and said coldly, "I will take good care of him."
…
Xia Wan's mood took a long time to calm down.
But for some reason, after Xie Jing left, she looked at Song Qingqing and burst into tears again.
Song Qingqing was taken aback and quickly comforted her.
Xia Wan took her hand and choked out, "Why does he... want to like a man."
Song Qingqing didn't know how to answer for a while.
Fortunately, Xia Wan didn't need her answer, and said to herself, "There are so many excellent girls in this world, why does he like a man?"
Song Qingqing tentatively said: "Aunt Xia... This is also normal."
"What's normal!" Xia Wan's voice became sharp, "Qingqing, you don't know, what good results will there be between men and men!"
Song Qingqing said: "But same-sex marriage has been legal for so many years."
Xia Wan grabbed her hand and shook her head: "You don't understand at all..."
Song Qingqing asked, "Then can you talk to me?"
Xia Wan fell into his own emotions: "You have no idea what homosexuality is like, that circle is too chaotic, dating, promiscuity, AIDS... I have checked and understood, so I don't want Ning Ning to get involved. , that's not what a normal person should do!"
Song Qingqing opened her mouth and said, "I think you are prejudice, not all gays are like this, and... Didn't Xie Ning become like this too?"
Xia Wan said sharply: "That's because I have been in charge of him for so many years!"
Her hand was a little tight, Song Qingqing frowned slightly.
Xia Wan said again: "And he can ensure that others are as clean as him, how can it be unaffected by the chaos around and being in it."
Song Qingqing hesitated and said, "But I don't think Zhuang Yan is like this. Aunt Xia, you can't generalize."
Xia Wan didn't listen, and smiled sarcastically: "Xie Ning used to have a boyfriend named Xu Qing. It looks very serious, but behind the scenes... The private life is still very chaotic, and the little star doesn't know how to support him. How much."
Song Qingqing didn't understand this matter, so it's hard to comment.
She wanted to persuade Xia Wan again, but she felt that it was useless to say anything like this, so she had to slowly appease her first.
Xia Wan took a long time to calm down.
She held Song Qingqing's hand, as if seeking approval: "I'm all for his own good, you are also a woman, if you have children in the future, can you just watch him go astray! I did nothing wrong, right? He should like girls like you, get married and have children, this is normal!"
Song Qingqing hesitated for a long time, then slowly lowered her head and looked at Xia Wan.
She said, "Aunt Xia, I think... it's your fault."
