Du Xiran finished work early and had nothing to do in the company, so she started chatting with some old classmates on WeChat. Coincidentally, Zhang Mishuang also came to chat with her and invited her to stay in her new home with Ye Nanning on the weekend.
Du Xiran called the other party directly, and as soon as the call was connected, he couldn't stop sighing: "We may not be able to come."
"What happened?" Zhang Mishuang asked.
Du Xiran: "My parents came to City B, and I came out to them yesterday."
"You are awesome!" Zhang Mishuang stood up from his seat in surprise, "Young man, why are you so fierce?"
Du Xiran sighed again.
"Are you still alive? Are you in good health?" Zhang Mishuang asked.
"It's okay, no physical action was taken and the person is still alive." Du Xiran said.
"That's good." Zhang Mishuang breathed a sigh of relief. She knew how much the Du family elders wanted Du Xiran to get married. Since college, the elders had been asking her to persuade Du Xiran to find a boyfriend. She couldn't imagine how the elders would react when they knew that Du Xiran, who had always been given high hopes, was gay. "Why are you so anxious? There's no need to come out so early. Besides, you and Xiaoye haven't been together for long. Why are you so impulsive?"
He was indeed impulsive. This was not something Du Xiran would do. As someone who always did risk assessment before doing anything, he actually did something so unexpected.
In fact, ever since she met Ye Nanning, she always seemed to be doing things beyond her plan, breaking away from the framework she had originally given herself, impulsive and passionate, as if she had returned to her youth, reckless and lively.
"Because they kept persuading me to go on a blind date in front of Nan Ning." Du Xiran said.
"Isn't this normal? They don't know that you and Xiaoye are in a relationship, so they will definitely urge you. It's not just this once or twice." Zhang Mishuang said.
"So, I let them know."
"......Awesome." Zhang Mishuang was speechless, "So what are your parents' reactions now?"
"I don't know. They are living in my house now and haven't taken any action. That's why it's very suspicious. I suspect they are trying to break us up." Du Xiran guessed.
"What should we do then?"
"What can I do? They will definitely not disperse. I will stay with Nan Ning for the next two days and try to reduce the chances for them to have contact with each other."
Zhang Mishuang: "Actually, I have another idea."
"What?"
"Just say you're going to die."
"......"
"Choose the lesser of two evils. Compared to coming out, is death more difficult for them to accept?" Zhang Mishuang said.
"That's a good point. Don't say it next time." Du Xiran rolled his eyes. "Won't they check my medical report? Then my crime will be even more serious and there will be no way I can be forgiven."
"That's right..." Zhang Mishuang also sighed.
At night, Du Xiran waited for Ye Nanning to go home together. She was not sure what her parents would do at home, so she wanted to protect Ye Nanning. But when she got home, she saw the two of them sitting on the sofa watching TV as if nothing had happened.
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Ye Nanning greeted politely.
Du Xiran coughed: "Mom and Dad, didn't you hear someone saying hello to you?"
The two elders then looked over, nodded to Ye Nanning, and then continued watching TV.
Ye Nanning walked in and put the bag in front of them: "On the way back, I met a snack vendor. Uncle and aunt, why don't you try some of the special snacks from City B?"
Mother Du was stunned for a moment, looked at her meaningfully, then picked up a piece of cake and tasted it: "It's delicious. Where did you buy it? Is it far? I'll buy some more when we go back."
"It's far away." Du Xiran continued, "Nan Ning took a long detour to buy it for you."
Ye Nanning gave her a coquettish look and agreed not to talk about this.
The couple looked at each other, put down the food calmly, and continued watching TV, but secretly observed the two people.
Du Xiran had already changed into slippers and turned to get mineral water from the refrigerator, but Ye Nanning held her shoulders and said, "Why is your heel rubbed?"
Du Xiran looked down and said, "Oh, the new shoes I wore today are a bit rubbing my feet."
"Come here, I'll apply some medicine on you first."
"Don't bother. It will heal in two days."
"There are medicines at home." Ye Nanning pretended not to hear anything, turned around and ran back to her house to get the medicine box.
Du Xiran knew he couldn't get rid of her, so he had to go to the sofa and wait obediently.
After a while, she slowly turned her head and looked at the two statue-like old men: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The two shook their heads and continued watching TV.
A moment later, Ye Nanning came in with a medicine box, sat next to Du Xiran, pinched her ankle, took out iodine and cotton swabs from the medicine box, and wiped her wound attentively and carefully.
A cool air blew out of her mouth, which was a bit itchy. Du Xiran curled up her toes, turned her back to her parents, and looked at her serious face with burning eyes.
"Does it hurt?" Ye Nanning raised her head and met her extremely gentle eyes with a slight smile, and a smile also appeared between her eyebrows.
Du Xiran knew they were peeking at him, so he stretched out his index finger and poked Ye Nanning's forehead: "What are you looking at? Keep going."
"Oh, okay." Ye Nanning smiled and lowered her head, continuing the work in her hands.
Du's mother unexpectedly looked at Du's father. From their angle, they did not notice the secret glances between the two people. They could only see Du Xiran ordering Ye Nanning to do things in a bossy manner.
At night, the two of them lay in bed unable to sleep. Du's mother suddenly sat up and said, "I don't think this is right. Xiaoye is so young and pretty, and she knows how to take care of people. I heard from He Ruo that her family is very rich. She is simply a perfect child. How could she like our Ranran?"
Father Du obviously had this concern as well: "I'm also suspicious of this. Xiaoye is too obedient in front of Du Xiran."
The more Mother Du thought about it, the scarier it felt. She turned her head and looked at him with a horrified expression: "Could it be that Ranran forced her? Or used her position as a leader to seek personal gain and forced Xiaoye to date her?"
Father Du thought for a long time and said, "Let's observe it for a while."
The two of them went to bed with heavy hearts. They spent the next few days secretly observing how the two of them got along. They couldn't help but feel that their guess was becoming more and more true.
Every morning, Ye Nanning would get up to prepare breakfast and lunch, and then call Du Xiran to eat. Du Xiran only had to be a beautiful waste.
Ye Nanning also drives to work, and Du Xiran only needs to be a beautiful waste.
After getting off work in the evening, Ye Nanning made supper for everyone, and Du Xiran just had to be a beautiful waste.
Mother Du's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. She couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night and muttered, "What should I do? I always feel that Du Xiran is going too far! Did you hear what they said today? Du Xiran actually forced her to go back to her own home."
"I heard it." Father Du recalled, "But it seemed like he was talking about a paper or something?"
Ye Nanning was indeed preparing for her thesis, so Du Xiran asked her not to stay at her house for too long to avoid getting into trouble with her parents.
"What? Xiaoye wanted to stay with us for a while longer, but Du Xiran got mad at her and pushed her back home." Mother Du said angrily, "Why didn't I realize that Du Xiran had such a bad temper before? It's obvious that she inherited your bad habits!"
Father Du: "Why are you bringing this up to me? I think she's rebellious because she learned from you. I looked it up online and found that some homosexuals are born with genes. Maybe she inherited it from you. You used to sleep with that Ah Hua all the time."
"Ahua is my childhood friend. We have slept together since we were young. You old man, are you trying to piss me off to death?"
As they were talking, they started arguing, with their backs to each other, angry with each other.
In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Du Xiran noticed something was wrong with them as soon as he woke up, but he thought they were angry with him, so he didn't dare to ask more.
Ye Nanning noticed their abnormality, which was very similar to the way Fu Jie and Ye Yiyu had quarreled over a small matter. She calmly suggested, "Uncle and aunt, do you want to go out and relax? There are many fun places in City B."
"No." They said in unison.
"Then let's play at home." Ye Nanning asked, "Auntie, do you want to dance square dance?"
No middle-aged woman can escape the temptation of square dancing, and Mother Du is no exception. She has been staying at home every day these days, with no friends to chat with and no dancing to relax. She is almost going crazy.
When she heard this, Mother Du was excited: "Square dance?"
"Yes." Ye Nanning turned on the TV and found some square dances. "You can dance here."
"It's not fun to dance alone."
Ye Nanning looked at Du Xiran, who shook his head firmly. She then looked at Du's father: "Uncle, you..."
"I'm not coming." Dad Du put on his reading glasses and started reading a novel.
"Then let me do it." Ye Nanning volunteered to step up, "I don't know how to do it, Auntie, please teach me."
"No problem, just follow my steps." Mother Du said confidently. She started dancing as soon as she heard the music and did not forget to guide her movements. "Follow me, remember this dance step, and use it often."
"Okay, okay." Ye Nanning swayed with her.
Du Xiran couldn't help wanting to laugh, so she picked up her phone to take a video of them. Ye Nanning smiled at the camera and stretched out her hand: "Come along, it's fun."
"I don't know how." Du Xiran complained.
"No need to know." Ye Nanning said with a smile.
Du Xiran then realized that Ye Nanning had not learned carefully at all. But the worse she danced, the more seriously and carefully Du's mother would teach her while laughing, as if she had found confidence in teaching.
"Okay." Du Xiran also swayed beside her, and as they swayed, the two of them laughed.
"Oh, you two both danced wrong." Father Du raised his eyes from his reading glasses, "Wife, they both didn't pay attention to the class."
Mother Du turned around and said to him: "If you have the ability, come and learn. At least they will come up and dance with you. But you are just talking nonsense and you can't do anything!"
"Who said that! I can definitely dance better than them!" Father Du refused to accept it, and joined in the dance himself. The two of them glared at each other as they danced, and in the end, no one knew who laughed out loud, but they both laughed at the same time.
Ye Nanning pulled Du Xiran into the bedroom to rest: "It should be fine now."
Du Xiran looked out the door curiously. The old couple were still arguing, but they both had smiles on their faces. She looked at Ye Nanning in confusion: "So they were arguing among themselves?"
"Yes, how else would I argue with you?" Ye Nanning said with a smile.
Du Xiran smiled and said, "Why can't you argue with me?"
"You're so nice, but you're their precious daughter, how could they bear to quarrel with you."
"Of course not. I'm going to piss them off to death." Du Xiran hugged her waist and pecked her. "How do you think I should comfort them?"
"How did you make them angry?" Ye Nanning responded with a light kiss.
"I just don't listen. I'm in the rebellious stage of middle age."
"Then say something nice to them? Buy them some candy? Give them a red envelope?" Ye Nanning had no experience either, and listed a lot of methods, but they probably wouldn't work. "I'm sorry, I don't think I can help."
"Who said that?" Du Xiran looked at her racking her brains to find a solution, and thought it was a good idea. He couldn't help but want to cover her mouth, lowered his head slightly, held her lips and kissed her.
After a while, Ye Nanning came to her senses and tried to push her away: "Uncle and aunt are still outside."
Du Xiran was just getting excited, and he hugged her tightly in his arms again: "What are you afraid of? Let me kiss you, just once."
"Don't do it anymore." Ye Nanning shyly pushed twice, but failed. She was about to kiss him half-heartedly, but suddenly heard a loud noise. Mother Du pushed the door open with a palm: "Du Xiran, didn't you hear that she doesn't want to! Don't force it, let me go!"
The author has something to say:
Ye Nanning: I am willing to [broken voice]
