Regarding his real situation, Qi Chen never mentioned it to his parents in this life.
After all, no matter how big his parents are, they are still ordinary people, and they are not young anymore. Their ability to accept is much weaker than that of young people. If it's a problem, it's not good.
But after a long time, there will be problems eventually, and the appearance of not getting old is one of them.
If most people pay attention to maintenance these days, they are not getting old fast, and some of them seem to be the same age as they were twenty years ago. But that's only relative, looking at it closely, you can find some traces of years in the corners of your eyes and brows.
Qi Chen is different, he is really not old, not a single wrinkle is long, what he was like a few years ago, and what he is still like a few years later.
Such subtle changes are often not noticed by people who meet every day, and it is difficult for them to see them. In addition, the people who meet every day are a group of old and immortal monsters.
Not even his parents and Xu Liangmengchen, who could see each other once a month or every few months, could not notice.
Only the kind of people who only see each other for several years are the easiest to spot this problem at the first time.
The first time Qi Chen heard someone mention this problem was at a classmates reunion after a few years, it was not obvious just by looking at it, and when compared with many people, this kind of problem was immediately exposed.
Almost all the classmates sighed enviously: "Chengzi, you haven't changed at all, you're still the same as when you first came out of college."
Qi Chen just smiled at first, and then occasionally replied, "Because you have eaten preservatives, you can also buy some and try it out." Afterwards, he had to face this problem more often.
Especially when his parents are affected and start to feel emotional...
However, this kind of problem is not difficult for Qi Chen to solve.
When he was in Guanghe, he naturally didn't need to care about this. Every time he went home or met his classmates and friends, he would change his appearance a little so that he didn't look so prominent and inconsistent.
Gradually, the problem was covered up.
But another problem is much harder to hide than this—
He didn't find a girlfriend for a year or two, and his parents didn't ask much. After all, he was not in a hurry when he was young.
After three or four years, I still haven't found a girlfriend. My parents finally couldn't help but ask, "Are there too few girls in the company?"
Later, classmates and friends of the same age got married one after another. He hadn't brought his girlfriend home, let alone his own parents. Even Meng Chen's parents couldn't help but want to give him a blind date.
With a youthful appearance, he can add a few lines to the corners of his eyes.
But without a girlfriend, he can't change into a girl out of thin air and take it back to fool his parents... Don't say that the changed ones are not real enough. Parents don't believe it, Uncle Longya first has to blow his hair and refuse to agree.
So Qi Chen thought about it, and it was the easiest thing to tell his parents.
Immortality and immortality are too scary to say. Sexuality issues are much more common in this society.
So one weekend, Qi Chen said hello to Long Ya, brought a change of clothes and something for his parents, and went back to Xishi alone.
His every move was the same as many of the previous weekends, with no sign of any special intentions.
In the past few years, Longya and Qi Chen have been going to Xishi for a few days from time to time, bringing some strange things to Qi Chen's parents, and returning to Jiangshi together after a pleasant short vacation.
If he really restrains his temper and gets close to people, ordinary people can't stand it, even malevolent stars can be kidnapped by him, not to mention ordinary people—
Qi Chen's parents were very happy to see him, especially after hearing Qi Chen say that Long Ya had no parents, they almost treated him as the second son.
But no matter how happy he was, he wouldn't go to Xi City with Qi Chen every time.
So it is common for Qi Chen to go back alone on weekends. It is not surprising that Long Ya didn't think much about it, nor did he ask any more questions.
Qi Chen returned to Xi Shi's house in a small package, and he was greeted by his mother's rubbing as always, which made his face deformed, and then let go: "The dishes are all ready, just wait for you to get home. dinner's ready!"
Dad Qi took off his reading glasses with a smile, got up from the sofa, took the bag in his hand, carried it into the room, and said, "Go wash your hands."
Serving the table, eating, chatting… everything was as peaceful as if it were countless weekends.
They used to sit and chat for a while after dinner, then watch TV, and then go downstairs for a walk.
Qi Chen talked about a few amusing things to adjust the atmosphere, and planned to talk about him and Longya when his parents were in a good mood. In this regard, he is quite confident. After all, from childhood to adulthood in this life, whatever he wants to do, he can always successfully persuade his parents to support him without even having to say much.
But who knows, he hasn't prepared it yet, his father and his mother looked at each other and spoke first.
Dad Qi tapped on the table lightly, and said to Qi Chen, "Dad asked you something."
Qi Chen was stunned for a moment, "Ah" to express his doubts.
"My mother and I have been thinking about a question recently-Xiao Meng Xiaoxu and the others got married one after another, and every time someone on your side introduces you to a girl, you refuse to meet them, and you have such a good relationship with your team leader Long. , together all day... Tell us honestly, don't you like little girls?" When Dad Qi said this, his face was serious but not severe. On the contrary, his tone could even be regarded as gentle, and it didn't seem like he was being Questioning is more like a conversation.
Qi Chen: "..."
He made all kinds of preparations, but he never thought that the opening paragraph would be snatched up by his parents, and he couldn't react for a while.
But in this case, you should deny it and shout: "What a joke, don't think about it."
Qi Chen's stunned and speechless reaction already gave the answer to some extent.
His parents looked at each other again, and couldn't help but confirm it again: "Son, you really don't like little girl?"
Since he has already asked for this, Qi Chen will no longer set the stage, he nodded calmly, and said "um".
As his affirmative answer popped out, the table fell silent for a while.
This silence lasted for several minutes, but it was longer than a few hours, and the three people on the table couldn't stand it.
In the end, Qi Chen's mother spoke first. She asked hesitantly, "Since you don't like girls, then you and Team Leader Long... you two..."
Qi Chen nodded again and said, "I've been with him for a long time." It's been a long time since the world has turned around several times.
The words fell, and there was a long silence.
After a long time, it was Qi Chen's mother who couldn't bear to speak first. She grabbed Qi Chen's hand and said tentatively, "Do you feel awkward when your mother touches you?"
Qi Chen immediately shook his head: "Of course not."
"I don't think so..." After all, she didn't know how to knead Qi Chen's face a few times since she was a child. "Do you feel uncomfortable when a normal girl touches you?"
Qi Chen shook his head again.
His mother's eyes suddenly turned a little red: "It's all acceptable, so why don't you like girls? Maybe change it?"
Qi Chen hated her crying the most in this life. When she cried, he wished he could collect all the rare things that could be collected from all over the world, as long as he could make her laugh.
But he couldn't coax her.
He could only get up and wrap her in his arms, hug her, and pat her on the back to apologize: "Mom, don't cry, I'm sorry, but - it shouldn't be changed."
Qi Chen's father probably had some unacceptable scenes like this. He sighed for a long time and said, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go down for a walk and get some food."
As he said that, he patted Qi's mother's shoulder, then pulled out the chair, went out and went downstairs.
Although Qi Chen's mother is not too young, sometimes she speaks and acts like a child. Qi Chen is fine if she doesn't hold her, but once she hugs her, her tears can't stop and fall down.
After falling for a long time, she said in a nasal voice: "Mom doesn't hate you, nor does she blame you, but... you have to let me slow down."
Qi Chen hugged her without letting go, followed her back and coaxed: "Okay, slow down, scold me if you can't slow down."
"Am I that fierce?" Qi Chen's mother cried and did not forget to refute.
"It's neither fierce nor fierce, you haven't said a few harsh words to me since I was a child, how can you be fierce..." Qi Chen continued to coax in a warm voice.
"Why should such a good son be given to others!" Qi Chen's mother cried twice, her tone was no different from that of a child.
Qi Chen: "If you don't let it go, it's all yours. If you can't pay, you will earn one more."
Qi's mother: "Bah! What am I doing for robbing someone else's son! How immoral—"
Qi Chen: "It's not wicked, he has no parents, no one will rob you."
When Mother Qi heard this, she was stunned for a moment, unable to stop crying, she raised her head from Qi Chen's arms, the tears in her eyes hadn't dried yet, she said in a daze: "Yes... I almost forgot if you didn't mention it, Team Leader Long. He has no parents."
"Relax?" Qi Chen took a tissue from the table and wiped away the wet tears on her face.
Qi's mother glared at him, then stared at the ground for a while.
Qi Chensheng was afraid that she would cry again after thinking about it, and stared at her without turning around.
As a result, after a few minutes, she suddenly raised her head, her expression was very serious, and she said to Qi Chen solemnly, "Let him come with you next time on vacation!"
Qi Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Qi's mother said: "Don't call people, I won't make him call auntie, call mom! Otherwise, he won't be allowed in!"
Qi Chen: "..." What
Think about the fact that Team Leader Long calls mortals "mom"... The picture is so beautiful that I can't even look at it!
Qi's mother: "Otherwise! Calling my mother-in-law makes me look old!"
Qi Chen: "..." It might as well be called Mom...
Qi's mother made a lot of requests in one breath.
On weekdays, she was obviously not someone who likes to ask others, but now she seems to be out of breath, jumping out sentence after sentence.
Qi Chen followed her, and opened his mouth with only three words - good good.
After talking for a while, Mama Qi couldn't think of any new requirements anymore, so she stopped.
Qi Chen looked at her for a while and said, "So... Mom, do you agree?"
Qi's mother said angrily: "I don't agree, what else can I do, forcing the leader of Long to change? I'm not a pervert. Besides, can he watch it after he's transformed? Who will be scared to death? Don't stand here, pour me a glass of water. , I'm dying of thirst."
Qi Chen: "..."
Facts have proved that coming out is risky, and it is likely to inspire a gentle person's infinite potential to complain...
Fortunately, this change is only instantaneous.
After a while, after drinking a few sips of water and talking about something else, Mother Qi, who was completely relieved, returned to her usual gentle and gentle appearance.
And Dad Qi is obviously the one who knows her best, and even the time is just right.
When Qi's mother returned to normal, he just came back from the walk. Seeing that the mother and son had already started chatting about daily life, they knew that their wife had almost slowed down.
He has never been a rigid person. What he said to Qi Chen since he was a child is, "Life is only a few decades, and no matter how well maintained it is, it will just pass 100. Nothing can compare to a happy life."
So Mother Qi has passed the test, and he is not a problem here at all.
Qi Chen expected to come out of the closet for a week, but it ended so peacefully, thanks to his parents who looked at him and loved him in this life.
Everything was said and the problem was solved. Naturally, the weekend was very pleasant. When he returned to Guanghe, Qi Chen's eyes were brighter than usual.
As soon as Long Ya saw it, he raised his hand and scratched his chin, and asked like a cat, "It's not like you haven't been home for hundreds of years, how can you be so happy?"
"Oh—it's nothing." Qi Chen glanced at his mischievous hand, but didn't pat it away. He scratched with him, and said lightly, "I just went home and told them about the two of us together, and they agreed. Let you go back with me next time, and call them Mom and Dad, or they won't let you in."
Longya: "..."
This grandfather almost thought he had auditory hallucinations, so he plucked out his ears and said, "...what's the matter?"
Qi Chen: "Otherwise, call me mother-in-law, and my mother asks you to choose one of the two."
Longya: "..."
