25. Helplessness
Mutual happiness
What is wrong
Lovers cannot be together
There are so many helpless people in this world
—Hu Yanbin, Butterfly
Liao Weixin quietly got up, took his phone and went to the living room. UC Novel Network: He made a few phone calls to explain some things, called the porridge shop downstairs to ask for breakfast, and then tiptoed back to the bedroom.
When he opened the door, he saw that Bai Jiming had woken up and looked at him with half-open eyes. Liao Weixin snorted, lifted the quilt and lay down, holding Bai Jiming's head and said, "Why didn't you call me for so many days?"
"Didn't I write a note?" Bai Jiming answered weakly and lazily.
"How many days do you want a note to last?" Liao Weixin began to glare. "What a joke! You only care about yourself and don't even think about how worried I am. You have a conscience to call me to let me know you're safe. I want to ask you whether you remember me or not. You were affectionate to my face, but you're not yourself the next time."
"It's obviously you who's worrying about nothing. How could a grown man like me get lost? I never reported it to anyone before, and yet more than 20 years have passed..." Bai Jiming muttered to himself. Seeing that Liao Weixin's face was getting uglier and uglier, his voice became lower and lower unconsciously, and finally he just shut up.
Liao Weixin ignored him, turned sideways and took a cell phone and PHS from the bedside table, and began typing in phone numbers. Bai Jiming poked his head out from under the quilt: "What are you doing?"
"You are not allowed to use your PHS in the future. I'll prepare three batteries for you. You are not allowed to run out of power, shut down, or not answer the phone." Bai Jiming saw that Liao Weixin was gloomy all the time, and knew that he was really angry. Bai Jiming has always been a very indifferent person, used to being alone, and even his parents, he often doesn't call once every two weeks. He didn't expect Liao Weixin's reaction to be so strong, and he felt a little guilty, a little touched, and a little warm.
Bai Jiming slowly moved to Liao Weixin's side, opened his arms to hug his waist, and rested his head on his chest. He hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say the three words "I'm sorry". He just whispered: "Can't I remember to call you next time?"
Liao Weixin put the phone back and sighed: "Since you are clear, can you be fair? I tell you everything, but you always keep it to yourself. - Are you still thinking of leaving me?"
Bai Jiming shook his head. He could tell that Liao Weixin was hurt by him, and he felt even more guilty. He was not the type to express his emotions directly. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I don't have much chance to call you... I went back and told my parents..."
"Said? What?" Liao Weixin was shocked. Could it be...
"They said I was gay." Bai Jiming's voice was muffled.
really!
Liao Weixin quickly asked: "What did they say?"
"Dad is fine, but Mom doesn't know. Dad has to talk to her himself, so let me come back first."
Liao Weixin certainly understood why Bai Jiming did this. This little lover was sometimes terribly rational and sometimes impulsive. He did not leave himself any way out, which fully demonstrated his attitude - he wanted to be with Liao Weixin. Actions speak louder than words.
Liao Weixin really didn't know whether to hang this little bad boy up and beat him up, or hold him in his arms and love him well. He always had the ability to catch him off guard and make him feel torn. This was really beyond Liao Weixin's expectations. The parents' stage was the most difficult, especially for a conservative family like Bai Jiming. According to Liao Weixin's original intention, he wanted to stabilize the relationship between the two first, and then slowly reveal it to the two old people. He was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that things would be too sudden, the conflict would be too intense, and Bai Jiming would be hurt.
