It seems like... No one says that a good citizen can't be gay, right?

Chen Yuning suddenly realized the point of the matter and sat up from the bed suddenly.

In the next few days, he kept asking Yanlin some questions about sexual orientation, but because he was not so close to him, they were all ordinary questions.

"Yan Lin, do you think this man is handsome?" Chen Yuning found a photo of a handsome guy on Weibo and handed it to Yan Lin.

"Okay." The other party didn't seem interested at all.

It's strange, this man is quite handsome, why is he not interested?

"I think a lot of people have been supporting homosexuality lately. But China has not yet allowed same-sex marriage. Chen Yuning continued.

"Yes. It is difficult for China to allow it, after all, it is necessary to consider the overall orientation. Yan Lin nodded and said lightly.

It's gone? Nothing more to say? Chen Yuning gave him a strange look, and finally gave up the idea of continuing to ask questions.

Judging from the current situation, he should not be gay...

Just when Chen Yuning thought he was going to fail, an accident happened.

That was a few days later, on Sunday night, Yan Lin worked overtime all day, returned home at six o'clock in the evening, and the three of them had a rare dinner together, and went to do their own things.

Because the rental house was a house many years ago, there was no air conditioning, but Yanlin's sunny room was very cool at night, and the wind would blow in through the window, which was about the same temperature as the air conditioner.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Shen Qing walked to the door of Yan Lin's room with a pillow and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." The voice came from within.

Shen Qing opened the door and said that his room would be cooler, so he walked in gently and sat next to him.

The room is really cool, but because Q City is next to the sea, the room is also quite humid. Yan Lin was leaning against the head of the bed and changing the thin quilt, holding Stendhal's "The Red and the Black" in her hand, bookmarked on the pages near the end.

Shen Qing has also read that book, which is a twists and turns and tragic story.

"What do you think Yu Lian's feelings for Mrs. and Miss are respectively?" He asked suddenly.

"I think they're just using them to increase their value." Yan Lin thought for a moment and replied.

Shen Qing looked out the window along the balcony, the moon was crooked, emitting a faint yellow light, and the dark clouds were still in the sky, and there were hardly any stars in sight.

"I think he's loved both. It's just that he makes a little more use of the eldest lady, and Mrs. is what he can't get, the ideal love. He spoke slowly, his voice as if it had come from far away.

“…… Are you like that? The other looked at him and asked.

Shen Qing was stunned, he turned his head and looked at the other party with some surprise.

He had never thought about this problem, and he never felt that he looked like Yu Lian, but Yan Lin's words suddenly reminded him of Zhou Kaiyu.

The person he once liked the most, is his affection for him just like Yu Lian's wife, the ideal love that he can't get?

However, Zhou Kaiyu at that time was not as worldly as he is now, he was just an ordinary high school boy who thought about playing basketball and games every day and which little girl was beautiful.

The last news he learned about Zhou before he met him again was that he had joined his father's company and became a vice president.

A child born with a golden spoon in his mouth is different.

Thinking of this, he just smiled and sighed.

"I don't know. Everyone may have an ideal love in their hearts that they can't get. ”

Yan Lin didn't speak, and was about to bow his head and continue reading, when suddenly, the surroundings became pitch black, and even outside the window, the buildings of other families in the community also went dark all of a sudden.

Regional power outages, many old residential areas will have this kind of problem.

"Is the power out? It should be fine for a while...... Finish... Mr. Yan? Shen Qing couldn't see anything in the dark, but he was used to it, and explained calmly, but he felt that his right hand was suddenly grabbed.

The hand was warm, but a little wet, and the fingertips were still trembling slightly.

“… Are you afraid of the dark? Shen Qing asked hesitantly.

The other party didn't speak, but just grabbed his hand a little tighter.

I don't know what kind of psychology it is, Shen Qing slowly moved in the direction of the other party, and he, who could roughly see the outline of the other party, gently put the other party's head against his shoulder, and gently stroked the hair behind the other party's head with his left hand.

"Don't be afraid." He whispered.

"Is there a power outage? Do you want to find something...... Excuse me. Chen Yuning turned on the flashlight with his mobile phone, walked out of the room, walked to Yan Lin's room, and stopped when he saw the picture in front of him halfway through his words.

Epic embarrassment.

"Do I have a chance to explain?" Because of the flashlight, the room was a little brighter, and Shen Qing's expression was a little helpless.

"Uh...... No need to explain, I understand. The other man furrowed one eyebrow, raised the other, and waved his hand.

"I think there seems to be some misunderstanding between us..."Shen Qing looked at his reaction and felt that he must have thought of something strange.

"Ahh Let's talk about power outages first. Chen Yuning interrupted and laughed dryly.

"Then I'll go find the property." Shen Qing was about to get up as he spoke, but he felt that his hand was being held harder, and the person in front of him grabbed the corner of his clothes with his other hand.

Don't go. He seemed to be saying.

"I'd better go." Chen Yuning saw Yan Lin's small movements and said very understandingly.

Yan Lin must not be able to leave in this state, if Shen Qing leaves, it will be more embarrassing for him and Yan Lin to stay, he doesn't want to stay here to shine, it is better to go first.

Chen Yuning turned around and went out with his mobile phone, without a flashlight, and the house was dark again.

Yan Lin closed his eyes, as if he had returned to the small dark room when he was eight years old, to the damp dark room that smelled of mold.

All he remembered was that he had called out loud but no one answered, and he kept banging on the door and no one came to save him. He slammed his body against the door, but found that he couldn't open it at all, and finally felt a hammer from the corner and smashed the door hard to get out.

He knew that his classmates had locked him up, and he was later punished by the school for vandalism. Yan Ronglai asked him if he was bullied by his classmates, but he just hugged him and didn't speak.

After that, he didn't dare to stay in the dark.

"How long are you going to hold on like this? If you can't call tonight, do you still have to hug me to sleep? Shen Qing's voice sounded a little helpless, and he let out a low laugh.

He understands and sympathizes with the fact that what people fear must have been left behind by the original stimulus.

"I can do it myself." Yan Lin said, his voice sounding unconfident, and he let go of his hand.
