Gu Qingyan rested at home for two days and went to school again, as a grass-level character in the school, Gu Qingyan was still "full of flowers" everywhere he went, and everything looked the same.

Gu Qingyan, who was in a good mood, couldn't see Tao Xiu's shadow in the crowd of onlookers, his face suddenly became gloomy, and some next to him saw the clue and took a few steps back.

Gu Qingfang turned around and went to the professor's office, it was not class time, Tao Xiu should be in the office.

But after arriving at the door of the office, Gu Qingyan found that the person was not in the office.

"Professor Xie, where did he go?" Gu Qingfang pointed to Tao Xiu's office seat and asked casually.

Xie Qiao raised his head from a pile of research reports and glanced at Gu Qingfang, "Professor Liu didn't live on campus before, and a suite was vacated after Professor Yang resigned. ”

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows, this is good news.

"Where will he live?" Gu Qingyan couldn't help but ask.

Xie Qiao stared at him strangely for a few seconds, "It doesn't seem that inquiring about the professor's residence is not what students should do." ”

"Oh? Then this year's National Chemistry Competition, please ask Professor Xie to find someone else. Gu Qingfang's tone was cold, and he dropped a sentence and prepared to leave.

Xie Qiao suddenly felt that his brain hurt, "That, classmate Gu, Professor Tao should move to the suite next door to me." ”

Gu Qingfang achieved his goal, Shuoshuo's eyes flashed, and the word "thanks" spat out from his perfect lips, and left in a dashing manner.

Xie Qiao looked at Gu Qing's back as he left, and his right eyelid suddenly jumped a few times, wait...... This classmate Gu has always regarded himself as high and never put anyone in his eyes, why is he so interested in Professor Tao?

A bad premonition flashed through Xie Qiao's mind, and he suddenly remembered that he had already revealed Tao Xiu's sexuality when they first met, should he ......

Xie Qiao shook his head, alas, this is not a good thing......

Just wanted to shift his attention back to the research report, but Xie Qiao's mobile phone rang, it turned out that his wife had just come back from a business trip today, Xie Qiao said while taking off the scattered research report on the desktop: "Okay, I know, I'll go home for dinner today." ”

Tao Xiu packed his luggage after settling the rent fee, not much luggage, because a lot of furniture in the small apartment is ready-made, he rarely buys anything else, so it is all some clothes and daily necessities and some books, and a big suitcase is done.

Moving is not time-consuming for Tao Xiu, and another reason why he will ask for leave is that he wants to go home to see, and by the way, take some money back, after all, it has been almost a year since the last time he went home.

After packing up and leaving his luggage in the landlord's house temporarily, Tao Xiu took the bus home alone, and because his hometown was not in the city center, he needed to take a bus.

After waiting for the train to enter the platform, Tao Xiu was squeezed into the car by the bustling crowd, and luckily occupied a window seat.

L city has developed rapidly in recent years, and now it has become a first-tier city, but no matter how big the city is, there are always some invisible places, which are still very poor and backward, and many people do not know, but it does not mean that these places do not exist.

Tao Xiu leaned on the car window and looked at the scenery all the way, now L City has been lined with high-rise buildings, there are very few green belts, some pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, some are unhurried, everyone has their own place to go, but Tao Xiu does not.

The word "homecoming" is not a warm word for him.

It's just a place that I have to go back to as a son, as an elder brother.

Tao Xiu looked at his phone, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was about half an hour away.

The car stopped for a stop, and a pregnant woman cautiously got into the car, her belly was already very large, but no one in the car gave up her seat.

Tao Xiu stood up and walked out, and said to the pregnant woman, "Please take a seat." ”

The pregnant woman nodded gratefully, "Thank you, thank you, young man, are you getting off the bus?" ”

Tao Xiu smiled and nodded, his smile as clear as the clear sky outside the window.

After arriving at the station, Tao Xiu got off the car, turned into the familiar town, walked for ten minutes, and entered the winding ancient alleys, the people in this town have lived here for many years, married and had children, and reproduced, and there are only a few capable young people who have the ability to walk out of this town.

Tao Xiu is one of them, and the least popular one.

After entering the alley, the road inside became narrower and narrower, occasionally a few neighbors passed by him, did not recognize him so they didn't say anything, some of the childhood friends who were very familiar with Tao Xiu have grown up, both men and women, hiding in the corner and whispering.

"Look, that pervert is back."

"Shhhh Don't be so loud. ”

Tao Xiu smiled bitterly, should he be glad that no one chased him and smashed things when he came back this time?

I still remember the last time I came back, a ten-year-old child with a few children of a few years old hit him with a stone, and he was still screaming and scolding "perverted and shameless", all of which were told by adults, but in fact, they didn't understand anything.

They live in peace and contentment in this old town, and many of them have never taken a step out of this town in their lives, just like his mother, because they are poor, they have no education, they have no culture, they have no way to understand why men do not like men, but like women.

When everyone thinks you're wrong, even if you're not wrong, you're still wrong, because you're different from others, so you're targeted.

Because they have no culture, because they don't understand, Tao Xiu doesn't even have a reason to blame them.

"What's wrong with being loud? Isn't it a pervert? There is such a one in the whole town, but he has been reading for so many years, and he is still a teacher, and the students should be taught badly by him! ”

"My child just doesn't read and won't let him teach! He's just a psychopath, what man is so abnormal? ”

"Hey, isn't there just one? The ...... who died"

"It's also true, they were infatuated like something, it's disgusting! I want to vomit when I look at it! ”

"That person is also pitiful, although it is not normal, but it will not put his life into it, this eldest son of the Tao family is a harmful spirit!"

Tao Xiu walked in the alley blankly, no one approached him, the surroundings were full of gossip, and even the air was so thin that it seemed to be about to suffocate.

He tried his best to ignore the words that seemed to be in the needle, but a heart that had already been tortured was still not strong enough.

He didn't.

He didn't kill anyone.

He was not abnormal.

He's not a pervert.

He won't ...... He doesn't teach his students badly.

Student......

Tao Xiu lowered his head suddenly, and the picture of Gu Qingfang forcibly kissing him suddenly continued to enlarge in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer, wasn't Gu Qingmad also his student?

Tao Xiu suddenly felt guilty, he still taught his students badly after all.

His steps began to stumble a little, home was already close in front of him, but Tao Xiu didn't have the courage to walk in, if it weren't for the fact that his blood relatives lived here, he probably never wanted to return to this place.

This place of nightmares.

There is so much joy in childhood, and then there is so much haze, and no matter how good friends and friends he plays, he joins the queue of despising and insulting him because of his differences.

Tao Xiu stood in place, silently watching the back of his mother busy in front of the door, but he didn't dare to take a step forward.

His mother was the most beautiful woman in town when she was young, and Tao Xiu had never seen a woman comparable to her since she left the town and entered the metropolis.

It's a pity that this tribulated red face has long lost its original beauty, not only the temples are covered with hoarfrost, but even the corners of the eyes are wrinkled, and the back bent by life is very thin, as if the wind will fly away.

Since the death of his father due to a serious illness, his mother has been working harder and harder, even if Tao Xiu wants to take them to live in the city, they are unwilling.

Mother said that where she was born, her roots were there, it was a lifetime, and it was her own business to die poorly.

But even a woman with such an old mind, but listened to the persuasion of a teacher in the town, and did everything she could to send Tao Xiu out to study, she could suffer, but after all, she didn't want the child to suffer with her.

It's a pity that Tao Xiu left the town and fell in love with a man, which embarrassed and embarrassed her, walked into a dead end, and stuck to her only normal child, just afraid that her second son would be like the eldest son.

The woman heard the whispers of her neighbors as if she realized something, and turned her head suddenly, and sure enough, she saw her eldest son, who was not angry!

The woman's face changed suddenly, and a pot of red beans in her hand spilled out because of her trembling hands, and she screamed with trembling lips: "You! What are you doing back?! Don't think our family is shameful enough?! Get out of here! ”

The woman stomped her foot hard, turned and ran back into the house, slamming the door shut.

"Mom!" Tao Xiu knocked on the wooden door with his mobile phone, his eyes full of sadness.

He has not hurt others, but he has been hurt by others, and his heart is like a knife, and no one can be blamed.

I had expected this to be the case, but I still had to come back, and I still longed in my heart after all, thinking that as long as I worked hard, I could go back to the past.

"Don't call me 'Mom', I don't have a son like you! Let's go! Don't let Ah Bin come back and see you! The woman said with extreme indifference.

"Mom, open the door, I'll leave before he comes back......" Tao Xiu patted the door without giving up.

But women have faces after all, Tao Xiu couldn't imagine how those neighbors sneered at them when he was away.

The woman's strong self-esteem makes her unable to accept the fact that her son is gay, let alone forgive Tao Xiu.

"We've broken off the relationship, you don't have to send money over, your brother and I won't leave this town even if we die, it's useless how much money you send, we won't spend a penny!" The woman said word by word extremely calmly.

Tao Xiu took a step back with an ugly face, his extremely short nails embedded in his soft palms, and he didn't speak for a long time, and finally took out a cowhide envelope from his pocket and put it on the windowsill.

The woman saw through the curtain that Tao Xiu had left the money again, suddenly turned around and opened the cabinet, took out a stack of cowhide envelopes from inside, poured out all the money inside, and then opened the window and threw it out vigorously!
