Huo Ran fell into a state of stiffness.
The content of the message sent by Dr. Tao was so shocking that he was unable to digest it for a while.
He stared at the dozen or so words, filled with surprise and confusion.
Huo Ran found it hard to imagine that something like "love at first sight" would happen in his life, especially when the other person was of the same sex.
But when he saw the familiar ^-^ at the end of the sentence, Huo Ran's mind unconsciously began to play the wonderful clips of the day...
Forget it, he gave up on regaining control of the brain.
Huo Ran frowned and read this sentence again and again, and finally found a crucial mistake.
Dr. Tao was talking about "she".
hr: It’s not her, it’s a boy.
He had typed the message, but before he sent it out, he began to hesitate again.
Huo Ran clearly remembered that Dr. Tao had said that he liked people of the same sex, so he offered to help him analyze the psychology of his suitor.
He had expressed so strongly before that he was a straight man and had no interest in homosexuality. Now he suddenly said this again. Would Dr. Tao feel uncomfortable? Would he feel that he was being fooled
Huo Ran is extremely sensitive and delicate when it comes to perceiving other people's emotions. This is partly due to his childhood desire to have his father understand his inner experiences, and partly perhaps it is just his nature.
If not for this, he wouldn't have been troubled until now by four people of the same sex who have a one-sided love for him.
Although he may appear weak at times, he is always unwilling to hurt anyone emotionally, intentionally or unintentionally.
After hesitating for a while, Huo Ran decided not to explain this beautiful misunderstanding.
This little detail shouldn't have much of an impact...right
[hr: Really? I'm not sure, it's just our first meeting.]
[hr: I think maybe she looks a lot like a friend of mine I've never met. Am I transferring my feelings?]
[hr: Dr. Tao, does this also happen when you fall in love with someone at first sight?]
When he uttered the following sentence, Huo Ran was even a little uneasy.
He obviously hoped that Dr. Tao would use his own experience as a reference for him, but he also seemed to not want Dr. Tao to answer "yes".
Huo Ran was struggling with his thoughts. Jiang Nansheng, who had been observing him for a long time, couldn't help but break the silence.
"Boss Huo, you don't look very good. Is there something wrong? Is there anything I can do?"
Huo Ran's brain stopped working at this moment. Without thinking, he blurted out naturally: "What will it be like when you find that you like someone?"
Jiang Nansheng:!!!
His forehead instantly turned red to his neck, like a boiled crab.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became weird.
The driver, who was concentrating on driving nearby, didn't dare to make a sound and hunched his shoulders to try to reduce his presence.
Huo Ran reacted belatedly, and before he had time to regret his quick words, he saw Jiang Nansheng sitting in the front seat completely stiff and motionless, like a statue.
… Why does he look so much like himself ten minutes ago
In an instant, the series of questions that I saw not long ago suddenly emerged in my mind.
"How to tell if you are gay?" "Psychological causes and types of homosexuality" "Do you really love him?" "This is a difficult road, are you ready?"...
Huo Ran rubbed his temples in despair and sent a message to Huo Sihan.
[hr: Don’t send me those weird articles in the future.]
[hr: I am about to be led astray by you.]
Huo Sihan, who didn't want to take the blame, sent a screenshot of the chat without saying a word.
[Darunfa has been killing fish for ten years: Big idiot: Don’t let me imagine it, I won’t listen to your nonsense.]
[RT-Mart has been killing fish for ten years:?]
[hr: … … ]
[hr: The note you gave me was actually "big idiot"?!]
[hr: crying cat head.jpg]
The daily bickering between brother and sister is almost about to begin again.
Meanwhile, Dr. Tao's answer came late.
[Tao: I am not sure either.]
[Tao: Actually, I was in the same mood as you just now.]
[Tao: If it were me, I would be very confused and not know what all this means, but when you asked me this, my first reaction was that you fell in love with her.]
[Tao: Maybe I also fell in love with that person.]
[Tao: To me, cuteness should be the best compliment to the opposite sex. It is not simply isolated beauty, intelligence, or gentleness, but that no matter what the other person does, they will deeply attract you and you will want to keep looking at them. They are cute when they are dazzling and they are also cute when they are clumsy.]
[Tao: Why don’t you try to meet your friend? Then you will know who the person that makes your heart beat fast is.]
Looking at the patient and detailed answers filling the screen, Huo Ran felt as if his heart skipped a beat.
He couldn't take his eyes off the stranger because of Dr. Tao, and the expressions and words the stranger said to him were so similar to those of Dr. Tao.
From the moment he noticed the masked boy in the crowd, he was trying to fill in and perfect his imagination of Dr. Tao every moment.
Those throbbing and confused emotions seemed to be more than just the "special meaning of making friends online for the first time."
But Dr. Tao said that he had someone he liked.
After clicking send on the long message, Tao Zhiyue sat on a bench beside the flower bed, his expression obscured by the loose hair hanging in front of his forehead.
Night had fallen completely, the evening stars were like fireflies, the street lights were dim, the wind was quiet, and behind him were small, bright flowers.
The box of chlorpheniramine was placed on his knees, its surface slightly wet with the sweat from his palms. Tao Zhiyue glanced back and forth between the medicine box and the screen of his mobile phone.
I have read the drug instructions on the side of the box no less than ten times and know them by heart.
Until this moment, Tao Zhiyue had to admit that he really felt love at that time, and it was the most exaggerated and most commonly written love at first sight in novels.
After the initial half-day of panic and distraction, all that was left in my heart was a bitter sense of loss.
When he was describing the definition of cuteness to HR, the model in his mind was actually a combination of HR and a boy in a white T-shirt.
When Tao Zhiyue first saw the boy in the white T-shirt, he only thought he was stunning in appearance, until he lowered his head a little embarrassedly, said that he was the first lucky audience member to be drawn, and smiled shyly, then Tao Zhiyue suddenly fell in love with him.
Later, the other party foolishly thought that he blushed because it was hot, and mistook the orange smell for the color. She also remembered his poor explanation and carefully bought him anti-allergic drugs.
Each one seems like something HR would do.
And everything just hit him right in the heart.
Someone once asked Tao Zhiyue what kind of girls he liked. He did not refute this small gender error, but carefully imagined it based on his blank love experience, and finally gave a dry answer: I like very good people.
But now he can answer that question.
Tao Zhiyue likes people who are sincere, pure and passionate, regardless of appearance or anything else.
Such a person can gently perceive his most subtle emotions, will unconditionally believe every word he says, and will also show frank clumsiness because of the side he is not good at. He is pure and real, which makes people trust him for no reason, and thus he appears so cute.
In Tao Zhiyue's eyes, that is a very good person.
On the night when HR keenly discovered that he was alone, Tao Zhiyue thought that if he really met HR in real life, it would be difficult for him to control his emotions. He felt that he would definitely fall in love with her.
A prophecy.
He transferred all his feelings when he was with HR to the boy in a white T-shirt who made him feel familiar for some reason, but in doing so, he saw his own heart clearly.
On this slightly hot early summer night, Tao Zhiyue even thought of places farther away.
Although HR is middle-aged, there is a clear generation gap between them and they lead completely different lives.
If HR also likes the same sex, or also likes him, Tao Zhiyue is willing to reach out and give it a try.
Because love should not be framed by any external conditions.
But HR is a straight man, and he met a girl he liked today.
This is an insurmountable chasm.
Therefore, Tao Zhiyue could no longer express the emotions surging in his heart and could only brush his concerns off as if nothing had happened.
[Tao: Maybe I also fell in love with that person.]
But the moment he fell in love with the other person, he fell out of love.
Tao Zhiyue sat in silence for a while, carefully put the medicine box into his backpack. He lowered his head. There was a thick ginkgo tree in front of the bench, blocking his view.
A black luxury car that had just left drove back along the same route.
