World One
Gao Yuan didn't dare ask what Luan Ye meant by that smile, but he knew without hesitation that it wasn't a good thing. So he decisively told Luan Ye the whole story.
Including the increasingly violent noises and sights at school, including the boy whom he only regretted not punching a few more times, including the lollipop handed to him by the convenience store owner, and also including his parents who had originally planned to take him to eat hot pot but whose mood was directly affected by his confession.
Dad and Mom didn't beat him. They just took him home, closed the door, and asked him what was going on.
Even just listening, Luan Ye felt a little nervous.
Although he had come out to his parents before, he still felt nervous when he heard Gao Yuan talk about his coming out experience - perhaps most homosexuals would feel panic and nervous when they heard about "coming out to their families."
"I told them what happened, and they said I was still young and wasn't sure whether my feelings for you were love or friendship." Gao Yuan paused before continuing, "Then I got a little angry, so I said..."
"I said it!" Gao Yuan was speechless now. He had thought about countless reactions of his parents after knowing this, but he had never thought that they would choose to directly deny his idea. "I am a homosexual! I knew I was a homosexual when I was very young, but I just didn't dare to say it out loud!"
"Are you crazy?!" Dad yelled back, "What did you know about this when you were a kid? How could you tell if you were gay or not?!"
"Because I—" Gao Yuan stopped talking in time and looked at his father and mother.
No matter how carefree he is in normal times, he was too embarrassed to tell his parents that he realized this after watching the movie.
"In short, I am very sure that I am a homosexual." Gao Yuan sighed, "And I am an adult now, not a child. I know what I am doing. I am not just doing it for the sake of novelty. I think clearly."
"So when you suddenly said you wanted to learn how to cook, was it because you wanted to cook for your boyfriend?" My mother, who had been silent the whole time, said, "...Are you really crazy?"
Gao Yuan looked at her, and his mother looked at him with eyes that were a little red.
Gao Yuan suddenly felt bad: he didn't want his parents to know that he was gay under such circumstances. He had originally imagined the situation to be different. But because of that person's words, things had become what they were now.
"Then we agreed to have a good chat the next day." Gao Yuan continued to talk to Luan Ye, "But the next day they told me to think it over, break up with you quickly, and find a girlfriend right away."
Luan Ye sighed: They said this because Gao Yuan's attitude showed signs of softening.
"But of course I refused!" Gao Yuan was startled by Luan Ye's sigh and immediately held his hand. "I closed the door and went back to my bedroom, and then I received your call. I think we are very telepathic."
"The wound on your face..." Luan Ye didn't feel happy about the "telepathy". When he heard this, his heart skipped a beat, "It can't be because..."
"Well... I said I wanted to go out and go back to school right now." Gao Yuan smiled softly. "They wouldn't let me. My dad tried to stop me, but I finally got out."
"Don't you think this scar is pretty cool?" Gao Yuan looked at Luan Ye and pointed at the scar between his eyebrows. "It really goes with my handsome face, right?"
Gao Yuan shaved his head not only because it was easier to wash, but also because his looks could support it.
He has sharp eyebrows and a high nose bridge, so the scar between his right eyebrows really makes him look more handsome.
Luan Ye knew Gao Yuan was saying this to ease his depression, and he wanted to give him a polite yes and then laugh. But in the end, he just moved the corners of his mouth and failed to laugh.
——He knew better than anyone that the knife of his family would stab deeper than anyone else, so how could he possibly laugh at this moment?
"Anyway, I'm out now." Gao Yuan held his hand. "You can't break up with me suddenly anymore, even if it's a unilateral breakup."
"Yeah." Luan Ye responded.
After the forum incident, the distance between Gao Yuan and him gradually narrowed, and he began to believe that Gao Yuan really intended to be with him this time. How could he still think about breaking up?
"Gao Yuan," he called out, and Gao Yuan immediately turned around and looked at him. "I've thought about it, and I'll go back with you."
"Let's have a good talk with your parents together."
"...Huh?" Gao Yuan looked at him, and after a moment he realized what Luan Ye meant. "—No need! I can handle this myself."
"This kind of thing can't be delayed." Luan Ye analyzed it to Gao Yuan from the perspective of someone who's been through it all. "They'll definitely guess why you came out. If I go back with you now, they'll think I'm someone who's willing to take responsibility, and there might be room for negotiation. If I let you go back alone at noon, they'll just think we can easily break up, and there's no room for negotiation."
Luan Ye knew that Gao Yuan's parents were good to him.
As for those who don't believe that their son is gay and think it's too much to hope that their son can find a girlfriend, this is exactly the first reaction of most parents after hearing the news - few people can immediately accept the fact that their child is gay.
That's why people subconsciously deny it, thinking that their children must have been led astray by someone, that their children just don't understand what this means, or that their children have simply not tried interacting with the opposite sex.
Thinking of this, Luan Ye simply pulled Gao Yuan up and said, "Let's go now. Let's take a taxi back."
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Do you really want to go back with me?"
"How could this be false?" Luan Ye glanced at him and then let go of his hand.
Gao Yuan suddenly felt a little disappointed. He forced himself to speak, but Luan Ye's next words completely dissipated his disappointment: "I forgot you can't get out by scanning your face. You can climb over the wall. But don't think about leaving alone. Otherwise I will really be angry, understand?"
"Yeah!" Gao Yuan nodded vigorously.
…
Facial scanning on weekends did not require the teacher's consent, so Luan Ye did not use the fur ball this time.
[Host, why are Gao Yuan's parents so excited?] When Luan Ye was scanning his face, the fur ball kept spinning around him, as if wondering a hundred thousand questions. [Why is this happening?]
Do you know why we see so many blind paths, but so few blind people? Luan Ye glanced at the school gate, then trotted out. He turned and saw Gao Yuan walking towards him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Because it's very inconvenient for them to travel, even if there are kind people, they are only a minority."
The blind path may be occupied by bicycles or cars.
When you are rushing to catch a bus, you cannot be sure which bus it is that has stopped in front of you. Even if you ask the driver politely, you may not get a response.
When crossing the road, you cannot be sure whether the light on the opposite side is red or green, and if it is green, whether the countdown is twenty seconds or sixty seconds.
Healthy people find it easy to see the blind path and wonder why it is so rare to see blind people going out.
But only blind people who have experienced this firsthand know how much trouble they will encounter when going out alone.
The relatives of blind people also hope that they will not go out alone. Why? Of course, it is because of the strange looks and words from others.
"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Luan Ye asked Maoqiu in his mind, then turned to look at Gao Yuan: "Where is the destination?"
"I'll lose." Gao Yuan took Luan Ye's phone but didn't enter the destination. He raised his head and looked at Luan Ye again, "Luan Ye, are you really... sure?"
It seemed like he was having a hard time saying this, as he was trying very hard to utter each word one by one.
Of course he hoped that Luan Ye could accompany him, but he also didn't want Luan Ye to stand up with him without thinking it through. He hoped that Luan Ye could think it over carefully.
Luan Ye looked at Gao Yuan and nodded slightly.
Gao Yuan took a deep breath and entered the destination: "Okay."
"I think I understand." Maoqiu thought for a moment, "The treatment these two receive is actually quite similar. You can see kindness towards them online, but when you actually meet someone like that in real life, your first reaction is to avoid them."
[——Correct.]
Luan Ye patted Gao Yuan on the shoulder: "Relax."
"I know I should relax now, but I just can't." Gao Yuan rubbed his arms vigorously. "I'm very scared now. Aren't you afraid at all?"
"I was scared to death," Luan Ye said, "but the more scared I was, the calmer I became."
"——Is that so?" Gao Yuan looked Luan Ye up and down, patting his chest exaggeratedly. "Very good. I'm not so nervous now."
Luan Ye looked at him, a little speechless: "What's wrong with you?"
"You don't understand." Gao Yuan looked down at his phone, which showed that the car was three minutes away. "If I knew someone was nervous with me, I wouldn't be so nervous."
"Oh." Luan Ye squeezed his shoulders again, "Don't be nervous, relax."
"That's it. Now I'm feeling a little nervous again."
"You... forget it." Luan Ye retracted his hand.
A fifteen-minute drive is neither long nor short.
Luan Ye paid the money and waited for the payment reminder to sound in the car before opening the door and getting out.
He had already gotten out of the car, but Gao Yuan was still sitting in it. The driver looked back at Gao Yuan, then at Luan Ye, his meaning clear: Please help me find out what's going on, thank you.
Luan Ye opened the car door again and looked at Gao Yuan, who was still staring out the window, wondering what was going on: "Aren't you leaving?"
Gao Yuan glanced at him and blinked, "Are you here so soon? Oh...oh! I'm coming, I'm coming."
Luan Ye is really nervous right now, but the way he expresses his nervousness is different from most people.
When others are nervous, they can't help but make various small movements with their hands, touch their faces or arms, and like Gao Yuan, they are completely immersed in nervous emotions, and their perception of the outside world becomes very slow.
But Luan Ye was different. The more nervous he was, the calmer he appeared.
He had always felt that this ailment was like an internal injury, very annoying. But now, arriving at Gao Yuan's doorstep, he suddenly felt fortunate to have this ailment.
——Because Gao Yuan was so nervous that he was about to do tap dance, lifting one foot and then the other.
In this situation, if Luan Ye was as nervous as Gao Yuan, then when Gao Yuan's parents came to open the door, they would see two idiots tap dancing in front of them.
Luan Ye would rather be beaten to death by them than die in society at this time.
The door opened after three knocks.
Luan Ye looked at the man in front of him and heard Gao Yuan whisper "Dad" beside him. Then he cleared his throat and said, "Hello, uncle."
"I'll help you analyze his emotional changes!" Maoqiu shouted as he flew over to Gao Yuan's father. "Analysis completed! Rage value is 50%."
Maoqiu's sudden shout would make even the most nervous person want to laugh.
Luan Ye tried not to let his smile show. He looked at Gao Yuan's father and pointed at himself. "We want to talk to you. Is it convenient for us to come in?"
Gao Yuan's father didn't say anything. He just opened the door, walked in, and said loudly: "Your son is back with his boyfriend!"
This is to find comrades.
Luan Ye pulled Gao Yuan in, closed the door, and stood at the entrance without moving.
When Gao Yuan's father and mother came out of the bedroom together, they saw their own son standing with a handsome-looking child, and immediately felt that they looked like bad guys who were trying to break up a couple.
Gao Yuan's father was very annoyed: "Go inside."
What are you doing standing at the door? Are you waiting for them to invite you in?
"Do I need to change my shoes?" Luan Ye asked in a calm tone.
It was so peaceful, not like coming out with someone else's son, but like a classmate coming to the house for a free meal.
This time, not only Gao Yuan's parents looked at him in surprise, Gao Yuan and the ball of fur floating in the air next to him also looked at Luan Ye.
——No, what kind of reaction is this?
What kind of strong mental quality is this? !
"No, are you really not nervous at all?" Gao Yuan asked Luan Ye in a low voice, "How dare you ask that?"
"Host, your mental strength is truly formidable!" The furry ball, which had read Luan Ye's blank thoughts, sighed, perhaps feeling that sighing wasn't enough to express its feelings. It dodged the door, then returned moments later with a wooden sign that read "Great!" "Really impressive!"
"I'm really nervous right now." Luan Ye explained quietly, but seeing Gao Yuan's obvious disbelief, he gave up and turned to look at Gao Yuan's parents.
Both of them looked at Luan Ye with indescribable expressions.
"No need," Gao Yuan's mother said as she sat down on the sofa in the living room. "Just come in. We don't have so many rules in our house."
"Okay," Luan Ye took Gao Yuan's hand and walked towards the living room, "Sorry to bother you."
"How can you hold hands like this!" Gao Yuan's father stared at their hands, which were still held together. The more he looked, the more unhappy he felt. He shouted at his son, "Gao Yuan, let go of your hands!"
His original intention was to scare the child who dared to come here with his son, but Luan Ye just looked up at him without saying anything, and then decisively let go of Gao Yuan's hand.
Gao Yuan had been nervous all the way. He was extremely nervous when Luan Ye knocked on the door. Now that he finally got in, he felt that his feet still didn't touch the ground.
At this moment, his father suddenly frightened him so much that Luan Ye loosened his hand. He almost knelt down on the spot.
"Sorry," Luan Ye said calmly as he held onto his hand again, "He's really nervous right now."
Gao Yuan was originally feeling a little aggrieved because Luan Ye suddenly let go, but seeing Luan Ye's calm attitude, the aggrieved feeling in his heart quickly turned into a happy feeling of "Wow, my boyfriend is so awesome".
Gao Yuan's father's face turned ugly, but he didn't say anything this time.
Luan Ye listened calmly to the flattery that Maoqiu had gathered from nowhere, and pulled Gao Yuan to sit in the living room: In fact, he was really nervous at the moment, so nervous that his brain was blank.
But these people just didn't believe it, and there was nothing he could do.
