35. The Sound of the Sea Crying
I'd like to state in advance that this chapter is very badly written. UC Novel Network: But what can I do? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I mobilized all the tragic cells in my body, but I couldn't accumulate even a little bit of pain. This chapter was supposed to be a big drama, but I messed it up. I want to overturn and rewrite it, but it doesn't suit my nature, so let it be.
Nothing is perfect, right
This sea is too sentimental
Weep till dawn
— Zhang Huimei, "Listening to the Sea"
Liao Weixin hung up the phone, still a little dazed, frowning slightly.
"What? Didn't you get through?" A familiar voice sounded beside him. Liao Weixin raised his head and glanced at his father: "I got through, but I didn't hear Ji Ming talking. It could be that the firecrackers were too loud, or there were too many people calling, so the signal was bad."
Father Liao sat down next to him.
The son didn't arrive home until the evening of the 29th. The family of three was busy celebrating the New Year and then drove to the countryside, so they didn't sit down and talk properly.
When it comes to dealing with his parents, Liao Weixin is obviously much more mature than Bai Jiming. He did not take his parents' attitude lightly just because they knew he was gay. Don't forget, even if it is to establish the most ordinary relationship, the parents are very important. Liao Weixin told his parents frankly from the beginning what Bai Jiming meant to him. Then various photos and phone calls appeared one after another. Every time he talked to his parents on the phone, the person he talked about the most was Bai Jiming. Of course, it was all about how good this little lover was, gentle, considerate, cute, sensible, hardworking, and a good cook. So much so that in the end Liao's mother teased him: "Son, you didn't catch an angel." Liao Weixin pretended to be very emotional: "Mom, you don't know how difficult it is to get this angel to stay willingly."
Therefore, Liao's parents were very familiar with Bai Jiming, from his appearance to his character. They even knew his favorite dishes, favorite movies, and the noise and socializing he hated the most. Liao Weixin knew that Bai Jiming was stubborn and withdrawn, and it was simply a fantasy to ask him to understand his parents. Only by letting his parents fully understand Bai Jiming, they would be more harmonious when they met in the future, and would not bring any harm to that sensitive and proud person.
Liao's father and mother could see that their son cared a lot about that person. They certainly wanted to meet their son's significant other as soon as possible, but they were afraid that Bai Jiming was not ready, so they did not take the initiative to bring it up. Unexpectedly, their son actually went to Bai's house one step ahead.
Liao's father was very dissatisfied with this. He said to his son: "You don't seem to be such an impulsive person. You acted too hastily this time." Liao Weixin refused to tell his father that it was Bai Jiming's idea. He only said: "I was not thoughtful enough and was a little too anxious."
Liao's father joked with his son: "Does a man in love really have zero IQ?" Liao Weixin replied: "Dad, you are an experienced person, how could you not know?"
The father and son looked at each other and smiled.
"So what about now? Everything is under control?" The father still has confidence in his son's abilities.
