Chapter 24 What fairy tales are told

"Brother! I'm heartbroken!"

The word "brother" is more important than anything else.

Yin Jiu had just gotten off the plane and had no time to go home when he was called to the bar by Hu Zheng.

Of course, he is not the type to come whenever he is called, but Hu Zheng said: "Brother, come and keep me company. I have looked around and found no one to call. I am making this clear today. If you don't come tonight, I will drink myself to death here and turn into a ghost to find you tomorrow!"

A bit exaggerated.

But Yin Jiu thought about it and came anyway.

It's not that I'm really afraid that he will drink himself to death, I just think that if he can find this fake brother of mine, he probably won't be able to find anyone else.

Now the first thing he says when he walks in the door is that he’s heartbroken. I confirm that it’s not that he really doesn’t have friends to drink with, but that it’s inconvenient to let others know.

After all, homosexuality is not a mainstream sexual orientation, and there are always some people who have prejudices against it, and not everyone has the courage to admit it openly.

So instead of complaining to your relatives and friends, who will then dislike you and alienate you, it is better to find someone outside your social circle who keeps a tight lid on you. Even if you really stop associating with him because of his sexual orientation, there will be no loss.

Hu Zheng thought for a long time and thought of Yin Jiu.

After complaining about his troubles, Hu Zheng still cared: "Have you had dinner?"

"I ate it." I ate a casual airplane meal on the plane.

Yin Jiu sat down on the sofa opposite Hu Zheng, glanced at the table, thought it was okay, and drank two bottles of beer.

A sad love song was playing in the private room, but the volume was not very loud.

Hu Zheng poured a glass of wine, put an ice ball in it, pushed it in front of Yin Jiu, and said, "Come on, have a drink, I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want."

Yin Jiu picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with him. He said it was casual, and Yin Jiu really just took a sip casually.

Hu Zheng drank the glass of wine in one gulp, looking somewhat lost, and said, "You must have never been heartbroken."

Yin Jiu leaned back and chatted with him: "Why? It seems like I can't find a partner?"

"That's not what I meant. If you really were in love, you'd be the one to dump the other person. How can breaking up on your own count as a broken heart? I just think you're the type who can walk through a sea of ​​flowers without getting hurt. You're a bit of a gamer, like that..."

Hu Zheng organized his words and said, "You know the Aquaman on TV? He flirts with people all the time, and once they fall for it, he irresponsibly tells them that we're just playing around, so why do you take it so seriously?"

This guy is really good at thinking. Yin Jiu deliberately glared at him with a cold face: "Is this who I am in your mind?"

Hu Zheng was not afraid of him and nodded calmly: "That's about it. Don't think I'm disrespecting you. I'm really jealous of you in my heart."

Yin Jiu took another sip of wine and listened to him quietly.

"When I was in high school, I envied people like you. You could play with whoever you wanted to play with, and if you didn't want to play with someone anymore, you would just leave without caring what others thought. But I can't do that..."

Hu Zheng smiled bitterly, poured another glass of wine, and said, "I was very self-conscious at that time. It wasn't self-consciousness, it was just fear. Whenever I talked to people, my hands and feet would sweat from nervousness."

"Maybe because I'm a coward, I can't help but look for people who are the opposite of me. Li... him, the one I like, is a particularly dazzling person."

"Every time he stepped onto the stage, I couldn't take my eyes off him. His confident look was really charming, but I also knew that I was not worthy of him. Someone like me was not worth him even glancing at."

"After that, I kept thinking about how I could be worthy of him. Then I started to lose weight, and tried to be more outgoing, make friends, and overcome my fear."

"I imitated those successful people and tried to be calm and talk to them in order to understand things that I had no interest in."

"But it's difficult, really difficult. Losing weight is too hard. I don't want to pretend to be at ease and chat with a group of strangers about cars, watches, and women. I just like to stay at home and play games, but it's not possible."

"I'm a man. I have to go out and learn how to make money to support my family. I can't be like a child and hide behind my family all the time. Who would like a coward who dares not say a word to others and just hides behind and trembles?"

"I'm really trying hard to change myself. Every time I meet someone, I rehearse what I'm going to say over and over again in my mind before I muster up the courage to say it out loud." Hu Zheng said painfully, "I think I'm already great, but he still has no interest in me and doesn't like me. I know there's no other reason, he just thinks--"

"I don't deserve him."

As he spoke, Hu Zheng's tears flowed down.

If she said she didn't like his type, that he already had a partner and was heterosexual, Hu Zheng could accept that, but she just looked down on him, and that was the saddest thing.

Even if your confession is rejected, nine times out of ten it’s because the other person doesn’t like you.

Yin Jiu didn't know what to say. To be honest, it wasn't a very pretty sight to see a 1.8-meter-tall strong man sitting there crying in grievance.

She raised her glass and clinked it with his, then drank it in one gulp. Yin Jiu comforted him, "It's his loss if he doesn't like you. That's good. If you think it's difficult, then just be yourself. Different people have different tastes. Maybe someone just likes being a shrew."

"Strip off!" Hu Zheng wiped his face, gave him a thumbs up, and drank the wine in one gulp.

After drinking it, he sighed again: "I can't do it, I really can't do it!"

"Yin Jiu, have you ever experienced the pain of love? Tell me about it and I'll be happy."

Before Yin Jiu could say anything, he interrupted her again: "Forget it, don't say anything. You don't look like someone who would be hurt by love."

Yin Jiu wondered: "What did I do? Why do they all think I'm an expert in flower gardening?"

"Look in the mirror, don't you know what's going on?" Hu Zheng looked at him carefully and saw that he looked really depressed. He couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Why are you so aggrieved? Are you still a single parent?"

Yin Jiu said, "Don't I look like him?"

"Like, very much like, she is the spokesperson for the mother-only company." Regardless of whether he believed it or not, Hu Zheng dared not deny it. He thought about it for a while and said jokingly, "Come to think of it, if you didn't have a scumbag face, I would have... Let's not talk about this. Come on, let's drink."

Yin Jiu smiled, pretending he didn't understand, and Xu Kong raised his glass to clink glasses. -

Hu Zheng came here just to drink tonight, so he would urge Yin Jiu to drink after just saying a few words. Yin Jiu was not used to it, so he would drink if he wanted to, and take a sip if he didn't want to.

Hu Zheng was also a man of much ado but little action. He drank beer from beginning to end, and he probably knew his alcohol tolerance. After a few bottles of beer, he talked more and more nonsense.

He cried and laughed at times, and asked strange questions from time to time, wondering why the object of his unrequited love looked down on him.

He held the microphone and cried, "Is there no one in this world who doesn't care about my personality or my appearance, and who would choose me without hesitation even if I was born mediocre, a useless little thing with no advantages and no skills? Can't there be such a person?"

What fairy tale are you telling?

Yin Jiu sneered, how could there be such a person in this world.

Rubbing his temples which were a little painful, Yin Jiu said, "It's getting late. I have to go. You should find someone to take you home."

Hu Zheng looked over with his swollen eyes and said aggrievedly, "Can't you take me home?"

"No." Yin Jiu answered coldly.

Hu Zheng stared at Yin Jiu for a few seconds before he was sure that he was not joking. He took out his phone unhappily, flipped through the address book, and said, "Let me see who can pick me up? I can't find anyone, I really can't find anyone!"

As he spoke, he broke down and cried again.

No, is this guy also so lonely?

I found him today, but I really can't find anyone else?

Yin Jiu felt a little sorry, so he compromised and said, "Forget it if you can't find it. I'll call a car for you. Just be careful."

Hu Zheng ignored him, searched for a long time, dialed a number, and sobbed, "Hey, brother, I'm drunk, can you come pick me up? Where is this?"

He looked at Yin Jiu: "Where is it?"

Yin Jiu gave the address speechlessly.

The person on the other end must have agreed to come and pick the person up, and when Hu Zheng hung up the phone, he looked a little happy.

However, the person did not arrive quickly. After waiting for half an hour, Hu Zheng had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Yin Jiu didn't leave either, he sat beside and played with his phone.

After waiting for a long time, someone finally came and the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.

Yin Jiu raised his eyes and the first thing he saw was a small glowing ball of light.

He greeted her in his heart: "Hi!"
