"This kid, he can't say anything, and he is mysterious." Shen's mother seemed to be complaining about Shen Xiao's troubles, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Father Shen saw Shen Xiao and Mother Shen coming over together, put the remote control in his hand, no longer changed the channel, and watched the two of them. Shen's mother sat on the big sofa with Shen's father, and Shen Xiao sat on the single sofa next to him, his expression grim, as if he was about to announce a big bad thing.

"If you have something, just say it! Why do you make this expression, it's not like you. Shen's mother said to Shen Xiao with some dissatisfaction.

"Dad, Mom, I have to ask the following question, and I also hope that you can answer me seriously, can you promise me?" Shen Xiao still said to his parents with a serious face.

Mother Shen's heart sank suddenly, and her heartbeat became very strange. Could it be that Shen Xiao's well-behaved today is all for this moment. It's all about knowing...... No, I can't answer, he can't know the answer, he can never know the truth.

"I can't." Mother Shen rejected Shen Xiao in one bite, and there was no room for negotiation.

"Why is that? I didn't even say anything, and Mom, you rejected me. Shen Xiao stood up and expressed his deep doubts.

"Can't just can't, there's no why. You just stay at home for two weeks and go abroad smoothly, and that's the best outcome, don't ask why. Let mom save me worry! Shen's mother was resolute, she didn't want to deceive Shen Xiao, but she didn't want to tell him the truth.

"Mom, do you want me to go abroad without knowing anything and not see you for 4 years? Don't you even want me? Shen Xiao began to play the emotional card, "Are you willing to do it?" As he spoke, Shen Xiao's eyes began to turn red.

Silence, or silence. Shen's mother was so entangled that she couldn't speak, her face had an expression of reaching a dead end, there was no way ahead, but the way back was not what she wanted. Father Shen, who had been silent, had an unlit cigarette in his hand, and he put the cigarette between his index finger and ring finger, and looked at it like this, his mind racing rapidly.

Suddenly, all the lights in the room went out, and several huge bolts of lightning illuminated the dark room one after another, and a loud thunder rang out, speeding up the slow-moving air, "boom, boom, boom......" as if to indict some injustice. In such a silent environment, in such a subtle atmosphere, it looks strange and terrifying. All three of them were immersed in their emotions, and none of them made a sound.

Father Shen initially spoke: "I'll go and turn the power switch." Father Shen put the cigarette back in his pocket and walked to open the electric switch that was frightened by the thunder.

"Dad, when you come back, please give me an answer." Shen Xiao said firmly behind Shen's father, pleading.

Shen's mother immediately opened her mouth to stop: "No, you can't tell him." ”

But Dad Shen didn't go as she wanted, he said, "Okay." Dad asks you, can you take it? ”

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll tell you when Daddy comes back." Father Shen agreed to Shen Xiao's request.

Shen's mother heard that Shen's father agreed, her face not only changed, but she refused again: "No, Shen Shu, how can you tell him." Shen's mother followed Shen's father out of the living room together.

In another grocery room, there was the sound of their quarrels, the crying of Shen's mother, and the comfort of Shen's father.

Mother Shen said angrily: "No, you can't tell him, what do you want to say." ”

Shen's father turned on the light of his mobile phone while looking for the electric switch, and at the same time answered Shen's mother's question: "Ah Yun, this matter can't be hidden, and my son will know about it sooner or later." ”

"It's a day to be able to hide it, and you can't tell him no matter what." Shen's mother is resolute and unquestionable.

Father Shen stopped looking for the electric switch, looked at Mother Shen seriously, and said, "Ah Yun, do you think that everything will be fine when Shen Xiao goes abroad?" Don't think too simply, he can still contact Jingye after he goes abroad, can't he come back secretly? Haven't you thought about it? ”

Shen's father's words made Shen's mother speechless, she couldn't help crying, and said with a thick crying tone: "Then what should I do?" My son. What's wrong with this? The more Shen's mother talked, the more aggrieved she became.

Seeing that Shen's mother was so sad, Shen's father also frowned, stretched out his fingers and gently wiped the tears on Shen's mother's face: "Okay, don't cry." Trust me, leave it to your husband and I, and I'll take care of it. ”

"Woo woo woo...... Shen's mother couldn't stop crying for a while, and continued to sob.

The light in the living room turned on, and there was no longer a sound in the grocery room, sitting on the sofa and thinking about a variety of possibilities, Shen Xiao, who was ready, he knew that he was about to touch the truth that his parents were hiding, the real reason why he was locked up at home, and the real purpose of his study abroad.

"Can you finally find out?" Shen Xiao was a little looking forward to the truth, and a little afraid of the truth.

Shen's father and Shen's mother both walked over, and Shen's mother sat on the sofa, turned her face away, and didn't speak. Father Shen faced Shen Xiao and looked at him solemnly.

"Have you figured it out?" Father Shen asked Shen Xiao solemnly.

"Yes." Shen Xiao expressed his determination with a loud word.

"Okay, it's my Shen family's son." Seeing that Shen Xiao was so firm, Father Shen said appreciatively.

Father Shen's face changed again, and he asked a serious question that shocked Shen Xiao: "Shen Xiao, is your affection for Jingye a brotherhood?" ”

Even though Shen Xiao had been prepared, Shen's father's question still caught him off guard. Father Shen's words made Shen Xiao stiffen for a moment. Daddy, what do you mean by that? Did he know...... How did he know......

Dad Shen continued to go straight to the point: "You like Jingye." "It's not an interrogative sentence, it's a declarative sentence.

Shen Xiao suddenly stiffened into a mountain, unable to move for a moment, fortunately he was sitting on the sofa, if he was standing, I was afraid that he would fall to the ground.

"Shen Xiao, do you think your parents will give you up? We are reluctant to let you be away from home for so long, and we are willing to let you suffer so far away. But......" Father Shen paused and turned around in frustration. Wouldn't it be better if I hadn't discovered the secret? Just let it sit like that. No, this will only make them sink deeper and deeper, and they will never be able to pull it out again.

Father Shen turned back and said again: "For the sake of your parents who have worked hard for most of your life, and for the sake of your best brother Jing Ye, you need to leave here, forget him, and not disturb his normal life." Father Shen looked into Shen Xiao's eyes and continued, "Can you do it?" ”

Shen Xiao waved his stiff mouth: "But ......" But I can't forget him, I want to look at him, but he already has someone he likes, and he won't like me anymore. Shen Xiao looked sluggish, depressed, and frustrated.

"Dad knows it's hard, and the feelings of liking someone don't disappear so easily. So, Shen Xiao, Dad then asks you, this is a crucial question, you have to think about it clearly, do you like men or women? ”

"I ......"

"Shen Xiao, think carefully before answering, don't worry."

"I like women, but I like Jingye." I really like it, more than any girl I've ever liked.

Father Shen was relieved when he heard Shen Xiao's answer: "So Shen Xiao, you have to go abroad and see yourself before coming back." Of course, during this time, you can't contact Jingye, not even a phone call. "Shen Xiao, I hope you have forgotten about Jingye in the past 4 years abroad.

"That'...... If I can't see clearly, can't I come back? Even if you come back, can't you contact Jingye? Shen Xiao was a little anxious, speaking quickly, and his eyes began to hurt more and more.

"No, you can't. No. Shen's mother screamed urgently and rejected Shen Xiao. Father Shen hurriedly hugged Mother Shen, let her lean on his shoulder, whispered in her ear, and comforted her.

"Alas~" Father Shen let out a sigh, "Shen Xiao, you have to mature." Don't let your mom worry too much. ”

Shen Xiao lowered his head and didn't say a word, but he felt that his eyes were even more uncomfortable.

"Dad promised you that as long as you find a girlfriend you really like, Dad will allow you to contact Jingye." Father Shen took a step back, giving himself and Shen Xiao a way out, "Can you agree?" ”

Shen Xiao was hesitating, of course he was very hesitant. Find a girlfriend to get in touch with Xiaoye. He thought about Father Shen's words.

"If you can put Jingye down sooner, you'll come back sooner." Father Shen continued to throw out an olive branch, "Mom is the most reluctant to you, you can't think about it for us." "Dad Shen played the family card, and it was also the most important card.

Shen Xiao looked at Shen's mother, who had been crying in a muffled voice, and looked at Shen's father's painful expression. He compromised anyway.

"Yes, I promise you, Dad. I'm going to study abroad, I'm going to forget about the night, I'm going to do it. Shen Xiao choked, he couldn't control the tears in his eyes, and the tears in his left eye flowed down the low corners of his eyes, as if to commemorate this relationship that had not yet begun. He stopped looking at his parents and went back to his room. Is this the truth? Why does it hurt so much? Why is it so cruel? He wondered if it would be better if he studied abroad like this?

The rain outside the window gradually stopped, the wind and rain finally passed, the rain passed and the sky was clear, even at night, you could see that the sky became bluer and brighter, a crescent moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the path of night walkers, and the stars showed their heads one after another, twinkling in the sky, telling the excitement of their appearance. It's a pity that these beautiful things can't enter Shen Xiao's eyes, he collapsed on the edge of the bed, and no longer has the strength to climb onto the bed, only the tears that keep pouring out of his eyes, blurring his eyes, blurring the pain in his eyes. Sayo, I'll try to forget about you.

Not long ago, Jing Ye, who had come home drenched and soaking wet, did not bother with himself, did not change his clothes, did not dry himself, he took off his hat and threw it aside, revealing his dry and clean hair, which contrasted strongly with his body. He sat on the floor of the living room, one leg crossed and lowered, one leg bent and erected, leaned his hand on his leg, wiped away the fog from the window in large areas, and looked up at the turbulent sky outside through the curtain of water that slid down like flowing water outside, and his thoughts were stretched away and scattered, looking out the long-term memories hidden deep in his heart. He wasn't looking at the rain outside, he was thinking about the rain before. The rain that snatched his heart away from then on made him suffer from gains and losses, joys and sorrows, and a downpour that his heart couldn't stop aching.
