Yan Rong bored himself at home and slept soundly with his head covered, and didn't go out for a few days.
During this period, Liang Xi came back twice, and they came and went in a hurry. He is really busy with work these days, and Yan Rong is not used to getting along with him. The weather is embarrassingly capitalized.
He contacted Yan Rong's head teacher, and asked about Yan Rong's affairs at school that day, but the head teacher only said, "Ian was playing with a few boys, and the play went too far, and there was a small dispute between the boys. , are all unavoidable things", not a single word was mentioned about the cabinet. Yan Rong's sexuality was not regarded as a scourge by the school.
After Liang Xi returned home, he relayed the content of the phone call to Yan Rong, but Yan Rong didn't respond.
He didn't think it was necessary to transfer schools, but he couldn't see Yan Rong's attitude. He couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he didn't dare to talk to Bai Tu, so he had to discuss it with Wang Jin.
"Their teacher didn't bring up the cabinet issue at all, and the school spirit of the international school is quite open," he said. "I asked Yan Rong, but he didn't express his opinion. I wondered, is there no need to find a new school for him?"
Wang Jin asked on the phone: "Is he still at home?"
Liang Xi said: "Yes, I heard from Auntie Cook that he probably hasn't gone out these few days."
Wang Jin paused, and said: "The school and the teacher are just one aspect, the key is how he will get along with his classmates in the future. You ask him if he wants to go back to school next week. If he still doesn't want to go, he has to contact the new school quickly. .”
Liang Xi responded, and said, "How are you? I heard from Wang Chao that you have a fever and a cold. Are you okay?"
Wang Jin said: "It's all right, it's just that I accidentally got caught in the rain, and it's already healed."
Liang Xi said: "That's good. Today I will close the labor union a little earlier. It happens to be Saturday. Let's have dinner together in the evening?"
He wanted to talk to Wang Jin face to face about Yan Rong.
But Wang Jin said: "Not today, my university tutor came back from abroad and made an appointment to meet up in the evening."
Liang Xi then said: "Then I will call Wang Chao together."
He was about to hang up, when Wang Jin said, "Then, are you still going home?"
Liang Xi thought for a while and asked, "Should I reply? Or not?"
Wang Jindao: "If it's convenient, I'll go back after dinner with Wang Chao, just to ask him if he wants to go to school on Monday. After talking, go where, don't stay at home to sleep."
Liang Xi: "...OK."
Wang Jin added: "Buy him a box of ice cream on the way back, he likes the flavor of butter cookies."
Liang Xi: "... Got it."
Brother Liang Xi felt bitter.
The sun is shining brightly in Beijing in June, and there are sporadic cicadas singing among the trees.
Yan Rong was lying by the window of the room and looking outside, her mood that had been depressed for a few days was still not clear.
He couldn't help missing Wang Jin, and when he thought about it hard, he would secretly cry for a while, crying and crying, and a trace of lingering resentment gradually grew out of this missing.
He loves Wang Jin so much, and even made a vow to Wang Jin "willing to die for you" with great enthusiasm, but Wang Jin refused to give him the same love. Wang Jin is a cheapskate, and he will never Love this cheapskate.
Liang Xi said that the school did not have any prejudice against him because he came out of the closet. He also received a message from the teacher in charge, asking if his health was better. After all, the reason he asked for leave at the time was that he was unwell.
But he didn't want to go back to school. He turned against his friends and told them that he liked men. He remembered clearly the astonished and shocked expressions of his classmates. Even Kaitlyn, who was pulling him, subconsciously Let go. He felt he had been abandoned by the collective.
After getting Wang Jin, he slowly gained friendship and a new life. It's all like dominoes. Now he has no Wang Jin, no friends, and his life is ruined.
A week ago, he still had unlimited expectations for the future. He got married at the age of 20, went to college, then worked to make money, and ran their family with Wang Jin. If Wang Jin liked it, they could adopt a child. He had a lot of imagination Waiting to make it happen. But now, he just feels confused.
The mobile phone on the bed buzzed and vibrated twice, he looked back, his heart beat twice, who could it be? In the past few days, he has only received news from the head teacher and China Telecom.
Will it be Wang Jin? Wang Jin regretted it, figured it out, and decided to love him for the rest of his life
He walked over anxiously, picked up the phone with a blacked-out screen, his thumb trembling when he pressed the home button.
On the screen was a WeChat message from "Benjamin the Knee King": "Ian, are you home?"
Yan Rong was stunned, he thought that he and Ben had already broken up their relationship and broke up their friendship.
He replied: "Yes."
The news came quickly: "I'm outside your house, come out for a while."
Yan Rong was taken aback, outside his house? He remembered that all the home addresses he had filled in at school this year were Wang Jin's.
He said to ben, "I'm not there, let's meet somewhere else."
They made an appointment to meet at a subway station halfway between the two addresses.
At the entrance of the subway station, Ben who arrived first saw Yan Rong from a distance, and waved to him.
Yan Rong walked over slowly, both of them couldn't hide their embarrassment, walked out of the subway station together in silence, saw a Starbucks opposite, Yan Rong said: "I'll treat you to a Frappuccino."
Say: "I invite you."
Yan Rong said: "Then we aa."
In the end, it was Yan Rong who rushed to pay the money.
The two sat face to face in the corner of Starbucks, with two glasses of the new Taotao in front of them.
Yan Rong asked: "What did you want to say when you came to me?"
Looking at him, he took a breath and said, "Ian, I want to apologize to you, I'm sorry."
Yan Rong: "..."
Said: "At my house that day, everyone was too excited and kept making noises. I didn't think it was very good at first, but you were drunk and told you to ignore me. I thought that you and I have such a good relationship, so you shouldn't be bothered." I'll mind. It's really just a game, and I don't mean to disrespect you. Oneal also asked me to convey his apology. He said that he has strong limbs and a simple mind, but he is absolutely not malicious. I hope you will not be as knowledgeable as him. In short, We are truly sorry."
His Chinese is not good enough, and he speaks such a long passage in a mixture of Chinese, English and German.
Yan Rong didn't know much about German, some vocabulary had to be guessed, but he could still understand the general meaning. It’s been a few days since the incident, and his anger at that time has almost passed away. The point of his anger is that he was kissed forcibly without knowing it, and he took a picture of it for other students in the class, which made him feel like a clown. Hearing such an apology now, all the remaining anger has dissipated. This kind of playfulness between boys is actually a common occurrence.
He said: "I was also wrong, I shouldn't get angry at you in public."
Said: "No, no, what you said that day was right. We thought about it afterwards, and it is true that we went too far. We are friends, and we should consider your mood first."
Yan Rong plucked up the courage to ask: "But I'm gay, do you still want to be friends with me?"
Surprised, he said, "Why do you think so?"
Yan Rong whispered: "I am different from you."
Said: "Everyone is different."
Yan Rong was still very worried, and said, "Other students may not think so."
Said: "We can't control what some people think, but at least after you left that day, most of the students in the class thought you were cool and brave."
Yan Rong opened his eyes wide: "Really?"
Said: "Of course it is true. When I left school yesterday afternoon, I said I would come to see you on the weekend, and my classmates even asked me to ask you when you will return to school. They also miss you very much. You know, the teacher loves to ask questions. You, you are not here, you can only ask them, they are too miserable."
Yan Rong was amused, only smiled for a while and stopped, and asked: "Where's Kaitlyn? Didn't she say she would come to me with you?"
She and ben are Yanrong's best male and female classmates, but when ben came, she didn't, it was hard for Yanrong not to think about it.
She suddenly changed her expression, and said dejectedly: "After you left that day, she cried a lot. It turns out that you are the person she has always liked."
Yan Rong: "... huh?"
Said: "If you hadn't come out of the closet, I would have fought with you now. I treat you as a good friend, but you made my sweetheart fall in love with you."
Yan Rong said: "Have you confessed your love? What about the love letter? Did you give it to her?"
Frustrated: "How to give it to her? You said you would pass it on for me, but you didn't go back to school for a week."
Yan Rong's mood went up and down like a roller coaster, he said: "Then, I'm going back to school on Monday... Pass it on for you?"
Said: "Are you stupid? You said that she likes you. I kissed the person she likes and wrote a love letter to her. She will hate me to death, right?"
Yan Rong really laughed out loud this time.
She also laughed, and said: "Let's talk about the confession later. I think she is embarrassed to come to you. After all, she cried so badly that day. The whole class knows that she likes you."
Yan Rong felt a little embarrassed again.
Said: "Don't worry, she has no prejudice against gays. She said that one of her favorite Chinese celebrities was photographed kissing with the same sex by the media last year. Although she didn't admit it, everyone in the fan circle knows that he has a stable relationship. The same-sex couple, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but also thought that pair was very eye-catching, confused."
Yan Rong: "...is it 'Meng Meng Da'?"
Said: "It's just ignorance, she said that her idol's classic emoji is a ignorant face."
Yan Rong also remembered a certain expression she often used when chatting, it seemed to be true.
After taking a few sips of his drink, he said, "There is one more thing."
Yan Rong said: "What?"
She blushed a little, and said, "Actually, I didn't really kiss you that day because of the angle. Although you are very cute, I still want to keep my first kiss for her."
Yan Rong nodded to express his understanding, lowered his head and bit the straw, thinking a little sadly, it doesn't matter if he really kissed, anyway, the people who should care don't care anymore.
The little tree of friendship of the teenagers has survived the wind and rain and continued to grow.
When saying goodbye at the subway station, Yanrong and ben were laughing and making noises as before.
He said casually: "By the way, I went to your house to look for you just now, and saw the former school doctor. No wonder you looked very familiar with him at that time."
Yan Rong was still smiling at first, but suddenly his face changed drastically, and he asked nervously, "The one surnamed Jin?"
Startled by his expression: "... yes, that's the one, he's with your dad."
