Chapter 2 Blind Date Solution

As he knew very little about the homosexual community, Qiao Shuyan frantically thought about how to deal with it. At this time, the waitress came back and put the lemonade in front of Liang Yu, saying, "Sir, please enjoy your meal." Hearing this, Qiao Shuyan looked at Liang Yu, and then glanced at the sign on the table. He suddenly had an idea and said, "You order first, and we'll talk later?"

Liang Yu didn't say anything, picked up his phone and scanned the QR code on the table card, then asked casually, "Do you have any dietary restrictions or preferences?"

Qiao Shuyan quickly said, "No." At the same time, he picked up the mobile phone beside him, opened the browser, and typed "1 is what does it mean" in the search bar. However, Baidu did not provide him with any useful information. Qiao Shuyan did not give up, and changed the search content to "homosexuality 1 is what does it mean", and then Baidu popped up a line of big words for him: a person who plays an active or dominant role in a sexual relationship.

Qiao Shuyan, who knew the truth, froze for a moment, and silently recalled his answer just now: Me too 1. Maybe, maybe I'm not so sure...

So he created two different identities for himself in two sentences?

He froze his fingers and continued to look down, and found that in addition to 1 and 0, there was also 0.5, a double plug? So what he meant was that he could also be 0.5?

Qiao Shuyan rubbed his forehead, not knowing how to face Liang Yu.

I wonder if Liang Yu has already discovered that he is not actually gay? If he has discovered it, he will definitely tell his mother, Aunt Dan, and Aunt Dan will definitely tell his mother...

Now Qiao Shuyan doesn't know whether Ms. Sun is more angry because he lied to her that he is gay or because he doesn't want to go on a blind date. And judging by the fact that his mother let him go on a blind date with men even though she knew he didn't like girls, if his mother knew he was not gay, she would definitely be even crazier and let him go on a blind date.

Or should he just go with the flow and have a fake relationship with Liang Yu first? After all, he and Liang Yu are two grown men, so he might as well discuss with Liang Yu to fool Ms. Sun first. He is a man after all, and as long as he doesn't want to, Liang Yu won't do anything to him for the sake of his elders. Besides, if Liang Yu wants to have a relationship with someone, then go ahead and have a relationship, he will definitely not stop it.

After thinking it over, Qiao Shuyan felt that although the current situation did not develop as he expected, if the "blind date" with Liang Yu could avoid the high probability of frequent blind dates in the future, it seemed that there would be no harm in the short term.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief. The only thing left was to see if he could convince Liang Yu with this.

Qiao Shuyan raised his head and found Liang Yu looking at him. He felt a little embarrassed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liang Yu said: "Nothing, you haven't introduced yourself yet."

"Oh, my name is Qiao Shuyan, I'm 26 years old," Qiao Shuyan put down his phone but forgot to turn off the screen, and continued, "I studied accounting at University A for both undergraduate and graduate studies." Qiao Shuyan touched his nose and said, "I don't have a car or a house, so I'm definitely not as good as you."

Both University A and University B are top universities in the country, and their overall levels are actually on par. However, after all, Liang Yu is a top student at M University, so Qiao Shuyan still has self-awareness.

Liang Yu accidentally glanced at Qiao Shuyan's screen which was not turned off. His 1.5 vision allowed him to see several key words from a distance: sexual relationship, initiative, and domination.

Liang Yu was slightly startled. Considering the other party's previous words and deeds, he understood what was going on. He thought the other party seemed quite interesting, but he didn't show it on his face. He just continued what Qiao Shuyan said, "Don't belittle yourself. I heard that you work in a hospital?"

Qiao Shuyan nodded, "Yes, it's in the Finance Department of the Second Provincial Hospital next door."

Liang Yu smiled and said, "That's quite a coincidence. I work in an office building not far from the hospital, and the house I rent is also nearby, just opposite the Second Hospital."

"So close!" Qiao Shuyan couldn't help but feel a little envious. He had actually wanted to rent a house to live on his own for a long time. After all, Ms. Sun urged him to get married at home all day. However, he was short of money! Although he passed the examination to be employed by the Second Provincial Hospital last year, the salary was not high, and the monthly average performance of the hospital was not much. He wanted to save money to buy a house. Moreover, the Second Provincial Hospital was in a prime location in City B, and the rent of houses nearby was not low. He could only sigh at the remaining balance of his savings.

His parents actually wanted to pay for him to rent a house, but Qiao Shuyan felt that he had already entered society and should be self-reliant. He couldn't just keep spending his parents' money and rely on them. In addition, his father was away on business every now and then, leaving his mother alone at home, so he was worried and reluctantly rejected his parents' kindness.

In fact, his house is not located in a remote place, but it is a bit far from the Second Provincial Hospital. Fortunately, there is a direct subway and the transportation is convenient. This is how he has moved here for more than a year since graduation.

Liang Yu saw that his eyes were shining like a child, unable to hide the truth, and he was almost writing "I also want to live next to the unit" on his face. He couldn't help but laugh.

Although the two are only two years apart in age, Liang Yu looks much more mature than Qiao Shuyan. It's not that Liang Yu looks old, but Qiao Shuyan does look younger. This is not only because the latter is wearing casual clothes, but also because his every move is still childish. In addition, his fair face is very pretty, a little baby-like, and his eyes are bright and clear. Let alone 26 years old, even if he is said to be 16 years old, I'm afraid some people will believe it.

Liang Yu, on the other hand, was wearing a black suit with a white shirt with dark patterns underneath. His tie was tied neatly at the collar, wrapping his slender neck. Looking up, he had a slightly mature face with good skin, but his dark eyes were deep and unfathomable, as if they were hiding many stories.

Therefore, when the two of them sat face to face, it was hard for people to feel that they were on a blind date. Instead, it looked like an older brother taking his younger brother out to see the world.

Liang Yu hadn't seen such a pure and clear person for a long time, and his heart was slightly moved, but it was obvious that the other party should be a "straight man pretending to be gay", which was actually not within Liang Yu's consideration. Because of various reasons, Liang Yu was very resistant to the idea of ​​turning a straight man into a gay. Of course, turning a straight man into a gay was not a glorious thing.

The waiter served the dishes one after another, introducing the name of each dish to Liang Yu with a bright smile.

Qiao Shuyan looked at the waiter's reluctant back and said, "What a pity."

Liang Yu was a little confused, "What?"

Qiao Shuyan was about to speak but held it back, "Nothing." It was a pity that the handsome guy opposite was a gay, the girl didn't stand a chance at all.

The dishes Liang Yu ordered were relatively balanced, with both meat and vegetarian options, and he didn't order too much. The two of them ordered three dishes, including the main course.

It was already past six o'clock, and both of them were a little hungry, so they picked up their chopsticks and chatted while eating. It was mainly Liang Yu who was looking for topics, because the socially anxious Qiao Shuyan really didn't know what to say.

However, after all, they are of the same age and the same sex, and their mothers have been close friends for many years. Although the two children met for the first time because they did not live in the same city after marriage, Qiao Shuyan finally relaxed a little during the meal, and the topic turned to mothers. Qiao Shuyan complained to Liang Yu: "Hey, after I graduated, my mother urged me to get married every day and forced me to go on blind dates all day long. Now I am afraid to see my mother. By the way, I changed my WeChat address to her."

"What did you change it to?"

Qiao Shuyan put down his chopsticks, picked up his phone, opened the WeChat interface, and brought up Ms. Sun's WeChat page and held it in front of Liang Yu: "Look."

Liang Yu was amused as soon as he saw it, "You are such a marriage-urging devil, you are such a good person."

"Doesn't your mother urge you?" Qiao Shuyan asked.

Liang Yu shook his head: "I came out to my family when I was in high school, and my mom couldn't urge me to do it."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Shuyan touched his nose awkwardly.

"However, the night before yesterday she was particularly excited to introduce me to someone," Liang Yu said, "and yesterday she was particularly excited to talk to me for a long time, praising you as if you were a god. So, I think she and your mother are probably birds of a feather, it's just that she doesn't have the 'resources' because of my sexual orientation."

"..." Qiao Shuyan didn't know how to start. After thinking for a long time, he said, "When did you realize that you liked the same sex?"

Liang Yu did not hide it and said, "When I was in high school, I found that I liked a boy who shared my dormitory with me."

"Are you together?" Qiao Shuyan couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah," Liang Yu nodded, "but we were not meant to be together. We didn't get into the same university, and we broke up later."

Qiao Shuyan said: "Oh."

Liang Yu looked at him and suddenly said, "Come to think of it, you are a bit like him. You both have a clean vibe."

Qiao Shuyan met Liang Yu's bottomless eyes. He didn't know why, but although the other person was clearly looking at him, he felt as if his gaze was passing through him and looking into the past that had already disappeared.

"Uh..." Qiao Shuyan was a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say. After a struggle in his heart, he felt that he had to explain it to Liang Yu, so he said, "Actually... I don't like boys." After saying that, he looked at Liang Yu nervously, but the latter had an expression as if he had expected it, and smiled and said, "I can see it."

Qiao Shuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did you know that?"

"You don't even know what 1 means." Liang Yu said with a smile. He had seen people pretending to be straight to get married, but this was the first time he had seen someone pretending to be gay to trick gay men.

"..." Qiao Shuyan scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry."

Liang Yu was a little curious: "Why did you tell your mother that you are gay?"

Qiao Shuyan said with a sad face: "I didn't tell her that I was gay, she misunderstood."

Liang Yu raised his eyebrows.

Qiao Shuyan continued to explain: "That night she asked me to go on a blind date again. You know, I have met 37 girls in the past year and a half since I graduated!"

"Puff." Liang Yu was drinking water and almost spit it out. Then he was choked. He coughed for a long time before saying, "Is it so exaggerated?"

"That's right!" Qiao Shuyan said angrily, "Besides, I am a social phobic and not good at communicating. I really don't have any feelings for girls. So that night I made up my mind and told her that I don't like girls. Unfortunately, she thought I was gay."

Liang Yu wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "It seems that I can't blame Auntie for misunderstanding."

After all, he met nearly 40 girls in a row, and not only did he not like any of them, he also said that he didn't like girls. It seems that this does not leave him any other options.

"Ah." Qiao Shuyan sighed, "I thought she would stop forcing me to go on blind dates, but today I met you."

Although Liang Yu couldn't empathize with him, he felt a little sympathetic towards him. He asked, "So what do you think?"

"I want you to keep this secret for me. If possible, we can pretend to be together," Qiao Shuyan said all his thoughts. "If you fall in love with someone during this period, it doesn't matter if you are together. It's okay to pretend that I don't exist. Just help me fool my mother when necessary."

"Then how long do you want to keep it a secret?" Liang Yu asked.

"I wonder... which girl I will really fall in love with one day?" Qiao Shuyan said hesitantly, but his eyes were full of burning anticipation when he looked at Liang Yu.

Liang Yu thought that this pair of eyes was incredible. He was a man who had been calm and peaceful for a long time, but suddenly ripples appeared in his heart. Although they were very small and light, ripples would not stop expanding until they hit a boundary.

The purpose of his coming today was not actually to fall in love with anyone, but because his mother found such a "blind date" for him, and it was the first time in his life, his mother was particularly insistent, and he didn't want to make his mother anxious, so he came here just to go through the motions.

Who knew that even so, he still got a lonely date because the other person was not gay. But the problem was that this straight guy seemed to have attracted him a little.

Liang Yu graduated from graduate school at the age of 23 and worked in the United States for nearly a year. He ended his job there because of something going on at home and worked for four years after returning to China. During these five years, work filled his life, and he only relaxed a little on weekends when he didn't have to work overtime.

It's actually quite boring.

He didn't have any lofty ideals or goals. He just wanted to make some money to achieve financial freedom, but he had never really calculated how much money was needed to achieve financial freedom.

His last relationship lasted during his senior year in college. He never had feelings for anyone since then, or rather, he no longer had the desire to fall in love.

After six years, he met such a clear-minded person, who was his type, but he happened to be a straight man.

Does God enjoy torturing people so much?
