The middle-aged man seemed to notice his son, who hadn't come back with him, and assumed something had happened, so he asked anxiously.
"Where is my son? Why didn't he come back with you? He said something happened."
When Yan Yiran noticed the middle-aged man mentioning this, he raised an eyebrow and nudged Lin Xiao's arm.
"Don't worry about him, senior. He's busy with things at school right now. In your words, he's working overtime."
The boy then got down to business and explained why they had come: "We've come today to discuss something. Do you dislike the fact that your son has a questionable sexual orientation?"
It would have been better if we hadn't brought these things up, because the middle-aged woman next to me was about to get angry.
"Are you two sick in the head? How can you bring up such private matters? Is this how your teachers taught you?"
Hearing such sarcastic and attacking words, Yan Yiran's face darkened, and he spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"You've lived to be this old, how come you don't know the meaning of etiquette?"
How dare you speak to a student like that? You expect us to talk to you politely, don't you?
"Xiao Ran, don't talk nonsense. We're all here to ask you questions, so please be careful."
"Let's forget about this. I came here to talk about this. Why do you disagree with them being together?"
The only difference is the gender, but isn't your son still your son, senior?
"Hmph, young man, you know that genders are different. But do you know that this kind of relationship is not accepted in today's society?"
How is my son supposed to survive in society on his own? Tell me!
"Do you even know that there are people in this society who would agree or disagree simply because of a single word from you?"
But if you force him to marry someone he doesn't like, do you think he'll be happy?
The middle-aged man tugged at his wife's hand, as if he agreed with what they were saying.
"Honey, I think they're right. Even if that's the case, he's still your son, isn't he? Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"
“I saw how distraught my son was before. Aren’t you afraid he might take his own life? Then we’ll see how you cry.”
Regardless, he still couldn't persuade the middle-aged woman, and angrily rejected her idea of being with that boy, saying in a fierce tone.
"Apart from this matter, everything else can be discussed. It's getting late, so you should go home now."
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she pushed them out abruptly and slammed the door shut.
They felt helpless being treated this way, but at least they learned something about the situation. However, if they knew this was how it would end, they would probably regret it deeply.
"Forget it, this is really bad luck. Let's go back first. We can deal with this kind of thing slowly. Is there still time?"
Yan Yiran was worried that he would get sick from anger, so it would be better to pull him away quickly, otherwise he would still feel sorry for him even if they were no longer together.
"I really don't understand why there are parents like this. People these days..."
“I’m going to check on my senior. I’m afraid he might do something foolish, even though I’m a business owner.”
He chuckled and said, "They think you're a cold and heartless person, but I don't think so. They've got it wrong."
Lin Xiao was taken aback. Although he didn't know where his feelings came from, he accepted them with pleasure.
"I'll go check with the senior. If this place is blocked, he should be able to find something there."
As Yan Siming parked his long car on the side of the road, he saw two young men walking on the street. He knew who they were from behind without even having to say it.
He recognized her; it was his lover. However, he was a little puzzled as to who the man next to her was.
"Did you see who the person next to him is? He looks kind of familiar."
Because the driver was always by his side, he knew the relationship between Lin Xiao and their CEO, so most of the people around him also knew a little about it.
"Young Master, this person seems to be that classmate's classmate, right? We've met before."
The man heard what the driver said and looked at it again more carefully.
"That brat hasn't changed his ways; he actually dares to approach him again."
"Young Master, I think it's better not to bother them, because it would be troublesome if Young Master Lin found out."
You know that Young Master Lin doesn't like being disturbed in his life, even you do.
The man grumbled but still agreed. The driver told him to keep going and not stop there to avoid attracting attention.
"Drive forward, let's go back first and talk about it later."
As the boy walked along the roadside, he felt a strange sense of familiarity with a particular car, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"Don't you think I've seen that car somewhere before? Am I seeing things?"
Yan Yiran observed his surroundings but saw no vehicles as he had mentioned. He must have been too busy, causing him to become somewhat mentally unstable.
"There's no car like you're talking about. Are you sure you're not mistaken? Hurry back, or I'm afraid my senior will leave."
The senior was a boy one year ahead of them. He had excellent grades and often dominated the entire grade.
Then every teacher liked him very much, but the only downside was that his sexual orientation was a bit problematic.
I've fallen for a boy who's also a top student, but because he has a bit of depression, he often scores a little lower than me. He's what people call consistently second.
But he was unwilling to accept it, because these words were preventing them from being together. In fact, he could feel that he liked him too.
That's why he asked Boss Lin for help that day, hoping that his words would make him feel better and stop him from being disturbed by these external factors.
As he was packing his things to leave, two boys stood in front of the door waiting for him.
They knocked on the door and laughed.
"Excuse me, senior, do you remember us? It's the thing you wanted to trade at my shop."
The man called "senior" looked Lin up and down, and when he realized that Lin was indeed the person from that day, he felt relieved.
"Come in, it's alright since there's no one here right now."
Indeed, there are no problems here, and it's quite convenient to discuss business.
"I went to a place right after class, a place you're familiar with, it's your home."
"You came to my house, so did you do anything? My mom has a bit of a temper."
"It's alright, don't worry, they didn't do anything to us."
