Seeing that her son's eyes were a little red, the mother's expression remained calm.
The words coming out of his mouth also seemed to sound smooth.
"If you feel unwell, go see a doctor."
The way family members express their feelings is far less intense than that of other relatives and friends. They are cold and give people the impression that the other party is doing business.
"No, something just flew into my eye." Chengyang raised his head and smiled, but if you look closely, you can see that the smile was very forced.
But my mother didn't seem to notice.
Mother nodded, said nothing else, turned around and prepared to go out.
Suddenly he was stopped by Chengyang.
"Mom!" Chengyang shouted suddenly, and his mother turned around.
Then I heard Chengyang ask: "If I don't like girls..."
The following words were difficult for Chengyang to say under his mother's suddenly cold gaze.
The mother didn't know how her son could say such a thing. She didn't take it seriously. Her son had always been well-behaved and sensible and would not let their father worry about anything.
It was like that before, it is like that now, and it should be like that in the future.
The key is that if he doesn't like girls, what should he like
Mother wouldn't even think about that.
"Aunt Tong is coming over in a minute. We don't have much fruit at home. You go to the fruit shop and buy some. You can get the money from the cupboard yourself." Mother changed the subject directly, pretending that she didn't hear what Chengyang just said. .
"Okay, I understand." The bright light in Chengyang's eyes dimmed a little, and he replied obediently.
When his mother walked out of the room, Chengyang opened a small drawer under the table. There was a small black box in the right corner of the drawer. Opening the box, Chengyang stared down at the platinum ring inside and took out the ring. I wore it on my left ring finger. I was worried that my parents would see it if I wore it, and then they asked about it.
Chengyang curled his lips, it was just because he was overthinking it, and his parents probably wouldn't ask any more questions if they saw it.
The seven days passed relatively slowly in the first few days, but then they seemed to go by slowly.
After the New Year, Chengyang spent most of the time at home.
He is still doing live broadcasts, all he needs is a mobile phone.
He brought a lot of colored clay home, and in his free time, he kneaded the last of the Nine Dragon Sons.
The workmanship is not particularly exquisite, but it is barely enough to be seen by people. Chengyang has very high requirements for himself, so even the fans in the live broadcast room are exclaiming and praising him for how vivid and lifelike he is. Chengyang himself is I feel that there is still room for improvement.
During the live broadcast at home, Chengyang spent more time showing his face during the live broadcast, so many viewers who came to see his face immediately became Chengyang's fans after the first live broadcast.
Chengyang's number of fans grew faster than he expected, and the platform officials would recommend the room to the homepage almost every time Chengyang broadcasted live.
This is not something Sheyan specially instructed. The platform has taken a fancy to Chengyang's future development potential. This anchor is handsome, has good technical skills, and has a good personality. There is no reason why the platform would let him go.
And gradually, advertisers began to approach Chengyang, hoping that Chengyang could promote their products during the live broadcast.
There are plenty of things to eat, wear, use, and play.
Chengyang took a fancy to several brands, but did not agree immediately. He first went to learn about them carefully in private, and then contacted the corresponding advertisers.
There were several reading apps among them. It was only after Chengyang looked at them that he realized that the apps were mostly pirated. It was shameless to steal the fruits of the creator's work, share them, and then use them to attract traffic.
Chengyang directly blocked those advertisers.
Later, Chengyang reached a cooperation with a small mobile game and helped the other party promote it during the live broadcast.
On the day of the promotion, the downloads of the game skyrocketed.
Chengyang left home on the eighth day. His father happened to have something to do that day, so Chengyang took the bus to the high-speed rail station by himself.
I bought the tickets in advance online. When I arrived at the station, I went directly to the automatic teller machine to get my ID card and collect the tickets.
When going out, Chengyang told his mother that he was gone, and her mother said to be safe on the road. Chengyang looked at his mother's calm and indifferent face. Although he should have gotten used to it, he still felt a little lonely.
This kind of loss, when Chengyang got on the high-speed train and the train started running at high speed, was slowly replaced by the expectation and joy of seeing his lover soon.
Chengyang had told Sheyan about the specific departure time in advance. After four hours on the train, Chengyang was not sleepy and could not fall asleep. He had previously said on Weibo that a prize would be drawn on March 3rd, and he would win the prize. The Seven Calabash Brothers.
Many fans retweeted it, wanting to get the gourd doll made by Chengyang himself.
The train runs smoothly and the gourd baby is simple, much simpler than the dragon's nine sons.
During the four hours in the car, Chengyang picked out the fourth and fifth babies.
The person sitting next to him looked at him for almost as long as Chengyang pinched him.
The man later asked Chengyang if he could sell them. He had a little daughter who particularly liked such cute little dolls.
While talking, the young father also took out his mobile phone and showed Chengyang a photo of his daughter.
The little girl is about three or four years old, with two cute little pigtails, a fair and tender little face, and round and big eyes.
"These two are already booked."
"That's it!"
The young father's tone softened, and he was obviously disappointed.
That little girl is very cute. Chengyang likes it just by looking at the photo, and there happens to be a lot of colored clay.
Chengyang asked the passenger next to him: "Does your daughter like Totoro?"
"My Neighbor Totoro?" The passenger was surprised, then nodded repeatedly, "She likes it very much."
"Then I'll make a chinchilla for her. There's still half an hour, which should be enough time." After saying that, Chengyang found the white and gray ooze, lowered his eyes and started working on it.
The passenger's face was filled with joy as he looked at the originally square shape of soft clay, which soon took on the shape of a chinchilla under Chengyang's long, white fingers.
My Neighbor Totoro Chengyang had pinched before when practicing, so this time he finished it quickly.
Chengyang gave the little chinchilla to his young father, who insisted on paying. Chengyang shook his head and refused, saying that he also had children.
Father stared at Chengyang Qingjun's young face back and forth. He was quite surprised. At Chengyang's age, he clearly looked like he was still in college.
But it doesn't seem unreasonable. When they graduated from college, there were graduation photos taken by their female classmates with big bellies.
The young father took the little chinchilla and put it away carefully. He was very grateful to Chengyang for giving his daughter this small gift.
When the train arrived at the station, the two got off the train together. The passenger also called the train in advance and asked if Chengyang would be picked up by someone. He waved goodbye to Chengyang outside the station.
Chengyang called Sheyan's assistant and told him that he had arrived. Before the call was hung up, Chengyang looked up and saw the tall and handsome man standing more than ten meters away.
People were coming and going, and the man was standing in the crowd. For a moment, all the surrounding scenery suddenly blurred. Only Sheyan, who was bright and bright, just like a movie scene, appeared in Chengyang's sight, which made Chengyang's heart beat. .
Chengyang smiled at the man in the distance. Sheyan passed through the crowd and came to Chengyang in a blink of an eye.
Chengyang let go of the suitcase and hugged Sheyan's broad back with both hands, while the other's arms also hugged him tightly.
The force was so strong that it seemed like it was about to embed Chengyang into the other person's body.
The temperature was still very low, and Chengyang's nose was a little red. Sheyan held the suitcase with one hand and held Chengyang's hand with the other, leading him to where the car was parked.
Zhong Hui was sitting in the driver's seat. When he saw his boss and his wife approaching, he got out of the car and greeted them.
He took the suitcase from the boss and put it in the trunk.
Sheyan and Chengyang got into the car and turned on the heater. Not long after sitting down, Chengyang felt a little hot and took off the scarf around his neck.
Noticing that Sheyan had been staring at him, Chengyang leaned forward with his lips curved and kissed the corner of Sheyan's mouth, his face full of sweetness.
The car didn't stop all the way and drove straight to home.
Everything in the house was still the same as the day Chengyang left. Most of the things placed in many places belonged to him and no one had touched them.
After returning home, Chengyang seemed to be completely relieved.
This home where he had lived for several months made him feel much more comfortable and warm than the home where his parents lived.
He knew that this was not because of the size of the house, but because there was a person in the family who loved and pampered him.
Here Sheyan put the suitcase on the ground, took out Chengyang's clothes and put them in the wardrobe. Next to him, Chengyang was holding a small box. He walked out of the bedroom and went to a small room next door. There was a square in the room. The nine-square grid transparent glass box.
There were already six colorful clay statues in the box, and Chengyang put in the remaining three 狴犴, negative 山 and 鸱卫 that he had kneaded in his hometown.
The nine ancient mythical beasts had been made. Chengyang took a photo and gently picked up the glass box.
Chengyang's eyes were filled with warm happiness. Holding the glass box, Chengyang turned back to Sheyan.
He stood at the door, his hands were full, so he couldn't knock on the door, but the sound of footsteps still made Sheyan turn around and look over.
Sheyan almost forgot about this matter, but he didn't expect that Chengyang would always keep it in mind.
"It's all done and I'll give it to you." This is Chengyang's first time making this kind of complete set of colored clay statues, and it's the first time that the craftsmanship is complicated.
Many people may not do this because they think it takes too much time. For Chengyang, these are meant to be given to the people he likes. Everything he does is worth it.
Sheyan stretched out his hand to pick up a clay statue, but he quickly retracted his hand and took the glass box in his hand.
He was afraid of crushing the clay statue. It took his wife many days to make it for him, and he regarded it as a treasure.
"Thank you!" Sheyan's eyes carefully scanned each colorful statue of the mythical beast, and he could almost imagine how serious and focused Chengyang was when pinching them.
"As long as you like it." Chengyang smiled softly in the spring breeze.
With Sheyan, time seemed to fly a little faster.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the first day of school.
At the same time, starting from a certain day, Chengyang always felt that his belly seemed to be bigger than the last day, not sure if it was his imagination.
The weather has turned to spring, and the lingering cold of winter is still there. I have taken off my down jacket, but still wear a loose coat.
During the day, she was wearing a coat, so she couldn't see it. Once she got home and changed into home clothes, Chengyang could see her bulging belly when she lowered her head.
When the weather officially warms up and he puts on thin clothes, his belly will only become more visible.
The baby is growing up day by day, like a melon in my arms.
After coming back, when Chengyang was in the middle of the month, accompanied by Sheyan, he went to the hospital for a physical examination. Both he and Sheyan were very concerned about this baby.
The results of the examination showed that the baby in Chengyang's belly was growing faster than most women.
Originally, Chengyang was thinking that based on the ten-month pregnancy, the birth would be around July, but now according to the doctor, it might be earlier than June.
There are still classes in June, and by then my belly may be so big that clothes can’t even cover it.
They sometimes go to the school's old teacher's building for class. There is no elevator in the old teacher's building, and most of the classrooms are on the fifth floor or above. When Chengyang climbs to the fifth floor, his feet will feel sore and numb for a long time every time.
When his belly gets bigger and he climbs two or three floors, he may be out of breath.
And watching, the temperature is rising day by day.
After thinking about it, Chengyang made a decision.
After dinner that night, Chengyang and Sheyan sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV. Chengyang pursed his lips, thinking about what he should say to Sheyan.
His wife's brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something. Sheyan lowered his hand to Chengyang's waist and held it gently.
"What are you thinking about?" Sheyan asked in a warm voice, with deep affection between his brows and eyes.
Chengyang bit his lower lip, and then told Sheyan his decision: "I want to take a year off from school."
Sheyan was a little surprised. Originally, he wanted to discuss this issue with Chengyang, but he didn't expect that Chengyang would talk to him first.
Sheyan nodded slightly and made a listening gesture.
"You can also see that the baby is growing up day by day. When the weather gets hotter and I wear less clothes, my belly will be obvious."
"Well, let's take a year off. What do you need from me?"
Since he was suspending school, there must be a specific reason. He couldn't just go to school and just say he was suspending school. Sheyan immediately asked.
"I think it's better to use illness as an excuse. After giving birth to the baby, I also need to rest for a while." Chengyang lowered his eyes and looked at his round belly. The baby is now about six months old, and his belly is almost a small size. It's as big as a football. If you put your palm on your belly, you can always feel the baby moving inside.
"Okay, I'll ask Zhong Hui to bring over a case sheet the day after tomorrow."
Chengyang was able to take the initiative to take a break from school instead of continuing to go to school, which also made the persuasive words Sheyan had prepared no longer necessary.
Sheyan raised Chengyang's hand, lowered his head and kissed the back of Chengyang's hand. He was very grateful to Chengyang for these steps back.
The baby is not only Sheyan's, but also Chengyang's. Chengyang doesn't think it's a sacrifice for him to drop out of school. He went to school early, and there is a roommate in the dormitory who is two years older than him. Even if he Taking a year off from school is not a big deal, not to mention that in my senior year, there are basically not many classes in the school. It is more about personal arrangements, or preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, or going out to find an internship.
Now his live broadcast is very good. He doesn't need to live broadcast every day, but his money is much higher than before.
He himself is not the type to spend money randomly, and he saves all the money he earns.
Even though the matter of suspending school was agreed upon, Chengyang told a few of his close friends that the reason was that he had a benign tumor in his stomach - he had mentioned this before, but because some time had passed, some friends only wanted to think about it. He needs surgery in the near future and will need to rest for a certain period of time after the surgery, so he can only choose to take a leave of absence from school.
The students were all surprised, but it was true that health was more important than study. Seeing that Chengyang looked good and did not look like a sick person, they still breathed a sigh of relief for Chengyang.
They all told Chengyang to take good care of his health, and when he gets better, they can play basketball or eat hot pot together.
The assistant came to help with the suspension of study procedures. Chengyang was pregnant and it was not convenient for her to go back and forth.
On the day when everything was done, Chengyang invited his friends to a restaurant near the school, and Sheyan also came.
Chengyang introduced Sheyan to everyone and said that this was his boyfriend.
Sheyan changed out of his suit and wore a couple's outfit of a similar color and style to Chengyang's. They both had good faces and sat together, making them a perfect match.
Even when they laughed with each other, their expressions were vaguely similar, although Sheyan's smile was not particularly obvious.
Everyone knew that Chengyang was unwell, so they didn't persuade Chengyang to drink. On the contrary, at Sheyan's place, everyone was a little embarrassed at first. After all, even if Sheyan wasn't wearing work clothes, his aura of aloofness was still a bit intimidating.
Later, after they started eating, everyone saw Sheyan ladling soup, picking up vegetables, and spreading dog food for Chengyang. Everyone slowly let go and started drinking with Sheyan.
Naturally, the wine was good and refreshing. Chengyang was eating seafood and watching everyone at the table chatting and laughing. Sheyan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular wrists underneath. Chengyang turned his head. Looking at his man, I can't help but sigh in my heart, he is so handsome.
This person is his.
This clear understanding made Chengyang's eyes curl up.
Sheyan turned his head and noticed Chengyang staring at him without blinking, biting his chopsticks, and smiling so hard that the corners of his mouth split.
Sheyan's heart suddenly softened. Sheyan reached out and rubbed Chengyang's hair twice, and many people around him made "yo" sounds.
Everyone is quite accepting of Chengyang's same-sex relationship. After all, Chengyang's boyfriend is tall and handsome, and he seems to have an extraordinary temperament.
He is also polite in conversation. No matter how you look at it, he is a quality man.
This nice guy seemed to have the ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Many other people at the same table were drunk, but he still acted like a normal person.
Xia Yinan sat next to Chengyang. He took Chengyang's hand and asked Chengyang whether his boyfriend drank like water.
Chengyang thought for a while. In his memory, he had never seen Sheyan drunk. During the period of living together, Sheyan would come back almost at night. He was pregnant and could not drink alcohol now, and Sheyan didn't drink much anymore. He seemed to be a man. I even quit smoking recently.
Chengyang remembered that Sheyan would smoke occasionally on the cruise ship.
Thinking about it this way, Chengyang discovered that there were these small details that the other party didn't mention and he didn't pay much attention to them.
All these emotions were combined into one sentence. Chengyang approached Sheyan and said thank you softly to him.
This thank you seemed to have no beginning or end, but Sheyan did not ask specific questions.
After the meal, everyone's affection for Chengyang, this handsome boyfriend doubled, and they were all happy for Chengyang from the bottom of their hearts.
It is not easy to meet someone you like in a huge crowd.
The friendship between their classmates is simple and innocent, and has not been tainted with too much worldliness.
Most of the people at the table were drinking. Chengyang didn't drink a drop of wine the entire time. Sheyan went to the front desk to pay the bill, and a group of people walked out of the restaurant.
Although it was not very far from the school, a group of drunken people were walking back and had to cross several roads. Chengyang was not at ease, so he called a taxi and helped put the drunk classmates into the car. .
I paid the driver in advance and asked the driver to deliver my classmates to the school gate.
Since Sheyan was also drunk, he couldn't drive the car, so he found a substitute driver.
I suddenly stopped studying and had a lot of free time.
Chengyang is still learning to knead colored clay from the master of traditional Chinese painting. The teacher himself has a lot of things to do recently and only comes to Chengyang's side once a week. Chengyang is born with a talent in this area and is almost the kind of person who can get things done with just a few clicks.
In addition, he studies very seriously and can make a little rabbit out of his hands, and it will look lifelike. Some merchants want to cooperate with Chengyang and let Chengyang sell the clay sculptures in their online store, and the money they get will be divided in a certain proportion.
Whether Chengyang is doing live broadcasts or learning to make clay, of course he has some interests in it, but making money is also part of it.
Although the shop was not in the same city as Chengyang, it was only a two- or three-hour drive away. What the other party meant was that every ten days, Chengyang would send a batch of clay sculptures made by himself, and they would sell them online.
As for the price, they have carefully discussed it with each other, and the price will not be set too high. Chengyang probably knows it and will buy it, mostly fans who watch his live broadcast.
In addition to selling Chengyang's clay sculptures, that shop also sold colored clay, and gave a lot of it to Chengyang. Chengyang helped promote it during the live broadcast.
Sheyan knew about Chengyang's live broadcast and selling clay sculptures. Sheyan was also happy to see Chengyang doing what he liked.
Just like Chengyang, he felt that Sheyan had done a lot for him.
From Sheyan's point of view, what he did was far less than what Chengyang did.
Just the fact that Chengyang was pregnant with the child made Sheyan feel that no matter how much he gave, it was not enough.
During pregnancy, Chengyang had to be careful not to touch many of the foods that Chengyang liked to eat. In his family, his parents neither knew that Chengyang came out nor knew about Chengyang's pregnancy. Both of these things will probably happen in the future. That said, based on Sheyan's understanding of Chengyang.
Chengyang shouldered all these matters alone and never complained to Sheyan.
It might have been okay when the child was young in the past, but now that the child is getting older, Chengyang rarely goes out. When he goes out, his bulging belly will inevitably attract some people's attention. If it is winter, wear thick clothes to cover it up. That is, the weather is getting warmer, and thick clothes are replaced by thin single clothes, which cannot be covered no matter how hard they are.
When sleeping at night, Chengyang would sometimes toss and turn because there was a little one in his belly, and it seemed that he always felt uncomfortable lying down.
When Sheyan asked, Chengyang shook his head and said it was nothing.
All Sheyan could do was kiss his wife's face, pull her into his arms and hug her.
One day in mid-April, my father-in-law and stepmother came to our home.
At that time, Chengyang was sitting on the sofa eating strawberries with a round belly. When he saw his elders suddenly arriving, he immediately called out "Mom" cordially, and then wanted to get up to greet them.
She's father quickly stepped forward and told Chengyang to continue sitting still.
Chengyang stood up a little and sat back down again. His lower back felt a little sore. Chengyang reached behind his back and rubbed his waist.
She's father looked around in the house, but didn't see She Yan there, and his face dropped.
Ask Chengyang where Sheyan went.
"He is packing his things in the room. We plan to take advantage of the nice weather today to see the cherry blossoms." Chengyang moved a little to the side to make room for the two elders.
