Shen Yanming's words had a great impact on He Changkong. Was Shen Yanming going to take him home? To meet his parents? Had Shen Yanming told his family about their affairs? Or was he just visiting as a friend
Not to mention meeting parents in that sense, even the experience of simply visiting other people's homes is pitifully rare for He Changkong.
He Changkong had a bunch of questions popping up in his mind, but when he opened his mouth, he said something that was completely off the point: "That's fine... I think I'll be able to learn better if I have parents supervising me."
Shen Yanming: “?”
Shen Yanming held He Changkong down, raised his hands to hold He Changkong's face and looked at him carefully. After a while, he came to a conclusion: "You are nervous, so you said such outrageous words."
He Changkong didn't deny it: "... a little bit."
After Shen Yanming touched He Changkong's face for a while, he let go and continued to jump towards his residence: "Don't be nervous, my parents are very easy-going."
He Changkong followed behind Shen Yanming, helped him put on his scarf, and asked, "Have you told your uncle and aunt?"
"What did he say? Did he say he would take you home? Or..." Shen Yanming paused, "Our business? He hasn't said anything yet."
He Changkong hesitated to speak, Shen Yanming knew what he was worried about. In fact, Shen Yanming was also worried. Even though he always felt that he was very lucky in reincarnation and met a pair of open-minded parents, the fact that his son's sexual orientation was homosexual was not a trivial matter for ordinary elders.
So Shen Yanming had secretly tried to test it. He would call home every week. Once, there happened to be a rumor about a player from another team sleeping with a fan. His mother gave him a lot of advice, telling him to keep a distance from fans and not to mess around outside unless they were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Even if they were in a relationship, they should not let girls suffer.
Shen Yanming said to Lin Qingyue in a joking tone at the time: "What if I fall in love with a boy?"
He originally thought that Lin Qingyue would say something like, "I'll just use a broom to kick you out." But Lin Qingyue said, "You can't mess around with that."
Shen Yanming: "What if I really fall in love with a boy?"
Lin Qingyue was indeed stunned: "... Are you in love with a boy?"
Shen Yanming quickly denied: "No, no, I was just asking casually."
It took a long time for this casual question to get an answer, perhaps several minutes. If Shen Yanming had not heard the background noise on the phone at that time, he almost thought that the call had been hung up.
"You are so stupid," Lin Qingyue sighed, "You can talk to whoever you want, it's not me you are in love with."
Shen Yanming: “…”
Lin Qingyue added: "As long as he has good conduct, that's fine."
Just as Shen Yanming was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, Lin Qingyue said again: "Honestly, do you have this tendency and that's why you asked me this for no reason? I knew that no girl would like someone like you, so you plan to find a boy? Girls all like domineering CEOs, and you're like a living trumpet every day. Girls will definitely want to roll their eyes when they see you."
Shen Yanming's feeling of being touched disappeared without a trace in an instant: "Haha, good night."
In order to prevent Lin Qingyue from just joking with him, Shen Yanming gave several more warnings in their loving family group. After saying it several times, his parents were fed up with him, and his mother directly sent a voice message to him: "I know, I know, it's so annoying! Bring her over for dinner when you are free, and don't keep asking questions like, are your father and I antiques?!"
Shen Yanming: “quq!”
However, there were many things going on at the time, and he didn't find a good time to tell He Changkong about this. And because he hadn't discussed it with He Changkong yet, Shen Yanming didn't tell his family about the specific person he was dating.
Seeing He Changkong's unusually tense look, Shen Yanming wanted to say don't worry, but when the words came to his lips, he had some bad thoughts and pretended to be pitiful and said, "What if my parents beat me up and kicked me out of the house? Are you going to elope with me?"
It’s just that the actor Shen Yanming’s acting skills are not that good. He didn’t look nervous at all when he said this, but was smiling instead.
He Changkong felt relieved when he saw that he was still in the mood to joke. Even though he was still a little nervous about meeting the parents, he could still cooperate with Shen Yanming's performance and said, "Well, elope, and I will support you when the time comes."
Shen Yanming really started to think about it: "Then I will be responsible for taking orders for you. I will hand out flyers at the Internet cafe at the entrance of the village, saying that the No. 1 nurse in the throne is now offering a substitute milk service. It doesn't matter if you don't want milk. This nurse is proficient in all professions, can do any operation, and can do any posture... I will give you a rocket-like experience! Let you ascend to the eighth level in one day! This is a trustworthy store, and we will not cheat anyone. We will offer a 20% discount during the opening period..."
He Changkong covered Shen Yanming's mouth: "... You should hurry up and finish today's study task."
A few days later.
Arriving at Nancheng Airport, the first thing everyone did after getting off the plane was to take off their thick coats. There is no winter here all year round, except for the few days when the cold front comes. Even in late December, you can go out on the street wearing only a light sweater.
Shen Yanming separated He Changkong from the main force and took a taxi towards home.
Originally, Lin Qingyue wanted to invite the other children to his house as well, but Shen Yanming refused, saying that they should not be allowed to go too crazy before the competition and should wait until after the competition.
Lin Qingyue didn't know what was crazy about just coming home for a meal, but since Shen Yanming said to wait until the competition was over, she had no objection.
But she didn't expect that Shen Yanming would not bring other teammates, but was unfair and said he would bring his brother Kong over.
She knew He Changkong. There were several posters of this person in Shen Yanming's room.
Lin Qingyue, who was cooking in the kitchen, raised her voice and called Shen Zhu over.
Shen Zhu thought he was asking her to help him, so he came in and looked for work. Lin Qingyue said disdainfully, "Don't make trouble... I think the teammate that A Yan is going to bring back might be his boyfriend."
Shen Zhu was stunned for a moment: "It's possible."
They both sighed at the same time.
Shen Zhu said again: "Is this really impossible to change?"
"I've looked up a lot of information, and they all say it's innate. How can it be changed?" Lin Qingyue said as she picked vegetables. "Don't say this in front of my son. If you really can't stand it, just make an excuse and say you're working overtime and leave. If a child has a niche sexual orientation, he will definitely be worried all day long. Don't look back and feel bad because we have the wrong attitude."
"Let me do it," Shen Zhu took the things from Lin Qingyue's hand, "That's not what I meant. I just don't think it's necessary. It's really hard to go down this path. Wouldn't it be less painful if I could like a girl?"
Lin Qingyue: “…Alas.”
In fact, when Shen Yanming asked that question for the first time, Lin Qingyue panicked. She knew Shen Yanming was a man of wild ideas, but she would not ask such a bizarre question for no reason. She answered calmly on the surface, then turned around and cried to her husband, saying what should she do, her son seemed to like boys.
"Let's wait and see," Lin Qingyue said again, "If he's a good child, then it's good to have another son."
They didn't talk much because soon the sound of the door opening was heard.
Lin Qingyue had a sad face at first, but after hearing the voice, she immediately put on a happy expression and walked towards the entrance.
Shen Yanming took off his shoes at the door: "Mom."
He Changkong greeted him a little stiffly: "Hello, Auntie."
Shen Yanming put on slippers, stood up, and nudged He Changkong with his elbow inconspicuously.
He Changkong reacted and handed the two bags in his hand to Lin Qingyue: "This is for you... This is for uncle."
The gift for Shen Zhu was two bottles of wine, bought on the way, and the gift for Lin Qingyue was a set of autographed CDs of her idol from a talent show, the kind that was signed by a celebrity. He Changkong originally wanted to give something safer, but Shen Yanming told him that Lin Qingyue liked these weird things, and she would be very happy if he gave her a signature from a celebrity.
Sure enough, Lin Qingyue looked happy: "Why are you here? Why are you bringing anything..."
Shen Yanming put his arm around Lin Qingyue's shoulder and said, "You've succeeded in chasing your idol, Ms. Lin."
Lin Qingyue: "How can I compare with you."
Shen Yanming: “?”
Lin Qingyue glanced at He Changkong: "Your name is Kong, right?"
He Changkong was stunned and thought, oh no, I forgot to introduce myself when I greeted him just now, which seemed a bit rude.
Just as I was thinking about how to save the situation, I heard Lin Qingyue say, "Shen Yanming is the one who succeeded in chasing stars. You don't even know that his room is full of your posters. He used to watch your videos every day. He even skipped classes to watch your games. He also said that he wanted to be a player like you..."
"Stop talking!!!" Shen Yanming said angrily, "It's not that exaggerated!!!"
He Changkong froze again. Was this a compliment or dissatisfaction? Why did it sound like she was complaining about him being a vixen
