Chapter 163 Chapter 163 [Differences in Thoughts]
When Lin Yi Mu and He Xiu Ji finished washing up and walked into the living room, they found that their parents, who were supposed to be at home, were nowhere to be seen. Lin Yi Mu walked around the house and found that breakfast and other things were ready but there was no one in sight. This was really strange.
"I don't know where my parents are. I prepared breakfast and everything, but they're nowhere to be found."
He Xiuji fell silent as he looked at the neatly arranged breakfast for four people in the restaurant, because he was the one who opened the door when leaving the room, and when he opened the door, he found that the door of the room was ajar. Combined with the current situation, He Xiuji actually had some guesses in his mind.
After a long time without any response from He Xiuji, Lin Yimu turned to look at He Xiuji behind him and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?"
He Xiuji looked at Lin Yimu hesitantly, and meeting his puzzled eyes, He Xiuji thought that if it was really as he thought, telling Lin Yimu would also allow him to be mentally prepared.
"Xiao Mu, I think I may know what happened, but you have to be mentally prepared for this." He Xiuji looked at Lin Yimu with some concern.
When Lin Yimu heard what He Xiuji said, he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still looked at He Xiuji with a glimmer of hope and waited for his answer.
He Xiuji put his hand on Lin Yimu's shoulder and patted him comfortingly, letting him prepare himself mentally before saying, "When I opened the door just now, I found that our door was open, although it was only a crack. But I suspect that Aunt and Uncle already knew about our relationship and couldn't accept it for a while, so they left because they didn't want to face us now."
After He Xiuji finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yimu who looked a little flustered, reached out and held his hand, and added, "This is just my guess. Maybe uncle and aunt really went out for something urgent. Let's wait for them to come back and see what's going on."
Lin Yimu's worried and flustered expression was gradually calmed down by He Xiuji's comforting words. He forced a smile and said, "I see. Let's eat first. I'll call my parents later and see what happens when they come back."
After saying that, Lin Yimu pursed his lips and pulled He Xiuji to the restaurant with a heavy heart.
Although he felt very heavy-hearted, and even worried that he would have a quarrel with his parents because of this matter, Lin Yimu never thought of giving up his relationship with He Xiuji.
Even though Lin Yi Mu was really hesitant at the beginning, especially after hearing what He Xiu Ji said that he might not be able to withstand the pressure from the outside world, or break up with He Xiu Ji because of his parents' opposition, Lin Yi Mu actually didn't really plan to do so.
However, Lin Yimu had never thought that his parents would know in this way, especially since he had just introduced He Xiuji as his friend to his parents the day before, but the next morning his parents knew the true relationship between them, and he was completely unprepared.
The two of them finished their breakfast without any appetite. Lin Yimu's mind was still confused and he had no idea how to tell his parents about this matter.
Thinking about it this way, it’s a good thing that they are not at home now. It gives him enough time to sort out his thoughts and think about how to talk to his parents.
Even after the two of them had silently cleaned up the breakfast plates, Lin's father and mother still hadn't returned. Lin Yimu and He Xiuji looked at each other, and finally Lin Yimu decided to call his parents and ask them to come back for a good talk.
…
As for Jiang Wanqiu and Lin Bohan, after Jiang Wanqiu left Lin Yimu's door, she returned to the living room with a dazed and pale face. Lin Bohan, who had just come out of the room, saw her like this and asked about the situation with some concern.
Jiang Wanqiu was completely focused on what she accidentally heard and saw, and didn't notice Lin Bohan who came to ask her about the situation, so she just walked past him and sat down at the dining table in a daze.
Seeing Jiang Wanqiu's absent-minded and panicked look, Lin Bohan became even more worried. He quickly walked to her side, put his hands on her hands, and asked worriedly: "Wanqiu, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Wanqiu stared at the breakfast in front of her with a dazed look and unfocused eyes. When she heard Lin Bohan's question, she looked at him slowly. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to say it. After a long while, she said in a dry voice: "Old Lin, I just saw, saw..." After a long pause, Jiang Wanqiu really couldn't say the next words.
"See? What did you see just now? Didn't you just go to wake Xiaomu and the others up for breakfast?" Lin Bohan said with some concern and confusion.
When Jiang Wanqiu heard Lin Bohan talking about his son and his classmates, he recalled the scene he had just seen. He shook his head in a state of collapse, his eyes red as he sobbed, "Don't ask anymore. Let me calm down for a while and don't mention them again!"
After Jiang Wanqiu said something to Lin Bohan excitedly, she sat there in silence again with red eyes.
Lin Bohan was frightened by Jiang Wanqiu's appearance. Jiang Wanqiu had always been gentle and elegant. Even when she was angered by students at school, she had never been so emotional. This made Lin Bohan really unable to understand and even more worried. He didn't know what had happened to make her become like this.
Just when Lin Yimu and He Xiuji were about to go downstairs, Jiang Wanqiu heard the noise and quickly pulled Lin Bohan, who had been accompanying her and was both worried and confused, out the door as if escaping. He didn't want to face his son and the man who might have turned his son gay at all. He was afraid that he would lose control and say or do something that would hurt the relationship between them and his son.
The moment Jiang Wanqiu pulled Lin Bohan out of the house, the gentle morning breeze blew in her face, and her messy brain finally regained some rationality.
Seeing that his wife had finally calmed down, Lin Bohan took her for a walk on the road and asked, "Wanqiu, can you tell me what happened now?"
Although Jiang Wanqiu calmed down, she still looked unhappy. When she heard Lin Bohan's question, she knew that she couldn't hide this matter from him no matter what. If the two wanted to confess to them in the future and Old Lin was not prepared at all, it was likely that there would be a gap between him and the children.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanqiu told Lin Bohan everything she had just seen and heard. After she finished speaking, she glanced at the man with a very serious expression with a worried look, fearing that if she wasn't paying attention, he would rush back and teach the child a lesson, which would make communication even more difficult.
Fortunately, Lin Bohan only looked unhappy, and he did not have the urge to go back and teach the child a lesson. Instead, he held Jiang Wanqiu's hand and walked towards Jiang Wanlin's house while saying in a deep voice: "Let's calm down outside first, and go back after we have calmed down. I'm afraid that someone will lose control of his emotions and want to beat up the guy who cheated our son, which will be detrimental to the resolution of the problem."
Jiang Wanqiu followed him and listened. When she heard Lin Bohan talking about the solution, she immediately turned to look at him and asked excitedly: "Have you thought of a solution? What is it? How do you solve it?"
Jiang Wanqiu grasped Lin Bohan's sleeves tightly with both hands and looked at him with hope, wanting to get the result she wanted from him.
Although Jiang Wanqiu is relatively open-minded about Lin Yimu's daily teaching, even the most open-minded parents would not want their children to embark on a difficult path, especially when this path is destined to be despised and ridiculed by everyone, and even has no future.
Lin Bohan looked at his wife who was getting a little excited again, patted her hand soothingly and said, "Don't worry, let's calm down first. Once we've really calmed down, we can talk to the kids and hear what they really think."
Jiang Wanqiu's already agitated emotions became even more agitated upon hearing this, and her voice was a little sharp as she asked, "What are you talking about! Listen to their ideas? What do they think? If they say they want to be together, will you really agree? Do you know how difficult this road is? Our son has just come of age, and he will be viewed with tinted glasses by the world, and he will face countless people's criticisms. There may even be no one to take care of him in his old age for the rest of his life. Do you think this is really good for your son?"
When Jiang Wanqiu finished speaking, she couldn't help crying again.
After listening to Jiang Wanqiu's questioning, Lin Bohan did not argue with her, but hugged her in his arms and comforted her: "Okay, don't cry first. I didn't say that I would support my son's decision. I just want to talk to my son about his thoughts. As for Xiaomu now, I don't think he will be with a man because he is ignorant, and I don't believe that he is with the other person just because of a momentary impulse or because he was deceived. That's why I want to talk to our son. How can you think that I will support them being together? I don't want our son to go through hardships." But if he really decides to take this path, as long as he is prepared to face everything, he will not hurt the relationship between his son and them to prevent him from being with the other party.
Of course, Lin Bohan did not say the latter part of this sentence. Facing his wife who was somewhat agitated at the moment, Lin Bohan did not want her to be irritated again because of differences in opinions.
As a university professor, Lin Bohan received much more information than Jiang Wanqiu, and it was not the first time he saw two men in love, but he did not want his son to take such a thorny road. However, as he thought, he would not blindly stop them.
Precisely because he has seen other people’s difficulties and even tragic endings, Lin Bohan doesn’t want his son, as a parent, to not only fail to offer comfort but also join outsiders in stabbing his son in the back when he is criticized and looked at strangely by the outside world.
But now, because Jiang Wanqiu's emotions were too sensitive, Lin Bohan couldn't tell her about this, and he didn't want to upset her. The best way was to let her calm down.
After listening to Lin Bohan's words, Jiang Wanqiu slowly calmed down. Knowing that she had misunderstood, she stopped talking. The two of them walked in silence all the way to Jiang Wanlin's house.
