quiet--
Deathly silence.
It was so quiet that Xiaobao standing nearby didn't even dare to breathe. It was clearly none of his business, but he was still very nervous.
Father Lin's face suddenly turned cold, and he uttered a word almost through gritted teeth: "Say it again, who the hell are you dating?!"
"Zixiao..." Lin Ze looked at him straight in the eyes, not flinching, "It's the Lu Zixiao you know..."
Snap——
As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone else could react, Lin's father slapped Lin Ze in the face.
“Uncle Lin!”
Xiao Bao cried out in surprise, then took two steps forward to block Lin Ze, saying hurriedly, "Don't hit Brother Ze. He's just in love with my big brother, he didn't do anything wrong!"
Father Lin's pupils trembled, and he looked at Xiaobao in disbelief: "Xiaobao, do you also know about those two...?"
"I know, I knew it a long time ago," Xiao Bao replied, "My brothers and others also know it."
Father Lin took a deep breath and snorted heavily. Then he glared at Lin Ze and growled, "Look at what you've done. You've corrupted the children!"
"How is it bad?" Lin Ze immediately retorted, "I didn't steal, rob, or force anyone. I abide by the core socialist values every day and even donate money to mountainous areas. And now, just because I like men, I'm bad? Where's the logic in that..."
"Shut up!" Father Lin pointed at him angrily, "You still have the nerve to talk back! You little bastard..."
"Wait a minute, Lao Lin"
Lin's mother, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, her brows furrowed as if she was thinking about something.
As she spoke, silence returned to the living room, and everyone was waiting for her next words.
After a few seconds, she slowly said: "Don't quarrel in front of the child. I will take Xiaobao back to the room. There are some things I want to ask Xiaobao alone."
"Lin Ze, talk to your dad nicely. Old Lin, you should also control your temper."
After saying that, she took Xiaobao's hand and walked towards the bedroom with a serious face.
Xiaobao looked back every few steps with worried eyes, and his little head almost turned into a propeller.
Before they started arguing, he had quietly sent Lu Zixiao several messages in a row, hoping that he would come back soon.
Only the father and son were left in the living room. No one spoke for a while and the atmosphere was extremely cold.
Father Lin's chest was heaving violently, and after a while he said, "I don't agree with you two being together."
"Whatever," Lin Ze said, "I'm not trying to force you to agree, and I don't need you to understand. After all, we have different ideas, and it's normal to have difficulty reaching a consensus."
"If you hadn't been forcing me to go on blind dates, this secret would still remain secret."
"Lin Ze, I can't control you anymore, right?!" Lin's father's face darkened, his anger growing even more intense. "You two are homosexual! This is a love that is not recognized by the world! If this gets out, it will inevitably lead to all kinds of rumors. How can you be happy?!"
"Why can't we be happy?" Lin Ze asked calmly, "We love each other very much. No matter what we do, it won't affect anyone else. If we meet someone who accepts us and blesses us, we will be grateful. If they can't accept us, we will ignore them. Life is your own decision. Why make yourself unhappy just to please others? What they think is none of my business."
Seeing his look of "I am right, who am I afraid of", Lin's father was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked him right on the ribs. The pain made Lin Ze frown.
"Can't you just let your mom and I worry less? Wouldn't it be better to just find a girlfriend and get married?!"
"Can ordinary girls be as pretty as Zixiao?" Lin Ze asked in a low voice, enduring the pain.
Father Lin choked. "Even if he's not as good-looking as Zixiao, he's not much different! Who taught you to judge people by appearance?"
Lin Ze scoffed and didn't agree with his answer. Instead, he continued to ask, "Can other girls have the talent and ability of Zixiao? Can they understand me as well as Zixiao? Can they treat me as well as Zixiao and take care of me in every way? Can they treat you as their own parents like Zixiao does?"
Father Lin: “…………”
It made so much sense that he couldn't even refute it.
Seeing that Lin's father's face had turned green, in order to prevent him from fainting from anger, Lin Ze stopped the topic in time, softened his tone slightly, and said.
"Dad, after all these years, I can see that you treat Zixiao as your own son. You even like him more than me. I don't need to say how filial Zixiao is, so what's wrong with us being together? It's just a slight change in our identities."
"Bullshit! Only men and women being together is natural!" Lin's father roared, "What the hell are you doing?!"
"But in my opinion, it is not natural for men to like women, men to like men, and women to like women," said Lin Ze.
"What does that count?"
“People like people”
"you!!"
Father Lin was very angry. Although he admitted that what Lin Ze said made sense, he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
So he paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "I can't talk you through it. Call Zixiao and ask him to come over quickly. I'll talk to him!"
"What did you say to him?" Lin Ze became anxious. "Just tell me what you have to say. Don't embarrass him!"
"Fuck!" Father Lin almost bit his tongue, his eyes widening with anger, "You're still quite protective of your food!"
