Glasses-guy quickly came back from the bathroom and saw Straight Guy bury his face in the pillow as if he was too embarrassed to see Glasses-guy. He climbed onto the bed and lifted one corner of the pillow. “Yangyang, do you want to suffocate yourself?”

After the weak resistance, Straight Guy allowed Glasses-guy to take the pillow away and unwillingly turned his head around to meet the latter’s profound eyes. He said with his words full of desperate candor, “I’ve exposed myself.”

“What?”

“I was planning to test you…first.”

After Glasses-guy saw this, his heart was softened. He couldn’t help stretching his hand toward Straight Guy. “You can test me as much time as you need. I won’t deceive you again.”

Straight Guy murmured, “I can’t see you through even if you deceive me”. He then continued, “Actually, I can’t see you through. I lied to you about saying that I would test you. I think I should be mad at you and spend some time getting angry at you. But…but…”

Having fast glanced at Glasses-guy and looked away, he said, “But…”

After seemingly sensing something, Glasses-guy got his throat trembled with excitement, leaned over to the little Straight Guy, and almost enveloped the latter. “What’s it, actually?”

“I don’t want to be at odds with you, neither do I know how to do that. When you speak to me, I want to reply to you happily, but if I keep reminding myself of being at odds with you, I won’t speak to you. Besides, I want you to hug me sometimes. I have to remember that I can’t make peace with you quickly. I can’t talk to you…I don’t want this. I’m unhappy…”

Before Straight Guy could finish talking, Glasses-guy held Straight Guy into his arms. “Yangyang, you’re…” He violently kissed the little Straight Guy with his eyes reddened but said in a relaxing voice, “You said it all. What else could I say?”

Domineering Guy felt distressed about his big “little Domineering Guy”. However, since it was born naturally, he could do nothing with it. Soon, he got no time to worry about this, because his father’s transfer order arrived, and they had to move. He was busy at university and had nothing to hide, so he asked his mother to sort his belongings out.

Domineering’s mother was such a meticulous person that she found something wrong.

For example, there was a piece of amber made of rosin in the innermost place of the box which her son used to collect valuables. She could still recall his expression on that day when he came back showed it off as if it were a treasure. “Mom, see, Little Chen did this. I only caught a cicada for him, but he made such a beautiful item. He’s so awesome!”

For example, in her son’s photo album, the single photo of Ji Chen and the group photos of him and Ji Chen appeared the most.

She also found her son’s textbooks ranging from childhood to adulthood under the bottom of the bookcase. As a mother, she was ought to feel happy about reading her son’s growth trajectory, but she felt somewhat complicated.

In the after-class exercises of the elementary school textbook, it required to use “friend” to make sentences. He wrote, “I and Little Chen are good friends.”

She heard from him that the music classes of junior high school were useless and used by him to be absent-minded. She opened the music textbook and found it full of Ji Chen’s names.

Having looked through all the textbooks as if seeking a confirmation, she had already drawn a conclusion.

Domineering’s mother even found many love letters girls wrote to Ji Chen hidden in her son’s old books. Since the two families had remained a good relationship, she knew that there were no girls around them. If thinking about the reason now, she thought even if some girls liked Ji Chen, her son had scared them away.

Domineering Guy got his mother’s call. “I know everything. You confess to me first just like in your childhood.”

“If I confess to you, will you not blame me?” asked he.

“You wish.”

He sighed in his heart that he couldn’t get through this pass as expected, so he frankly told his mother about how he turned gay since childhood. “That’s it. I don’t like anyone except him.”

It took Domineering’s mother a long time to find her own voice. “I can’t believe how both you and Ji Chen are…gay?”

He pretended to be domineering. “Little Chen wasn’t gay at first. He didn’t want to be with me first, but I had sex with him against his will. Besides, I used the evidence to threaten him to be with me.”

“!” Domineering’s mother’s lips trembled. She thought that it was Ji Chen who led her son to go astray, or at least, they liked each other. However, the truth was so cruel. Her son wasn’t a straight man, neither was he a decent human being. She originally had complaints about Ji Chen, but now, she felt indescribably guilty about him.

Domineering’s mother saw a lot of family emotional dramas at home. When she learned of her son’s astounding love, the first picture conjuring up in her mind was that the Monster-in-Law threw a five-million-dollar check to her son’s “girlfriend” and said, “Don’t bother my son anymore!” The second picture was that the Monster-in-Law came to see the parents of his “girlfriend” and said, “Keep your daughter away from my son!”

However, she fell into silence after hearing what her son said.

It never occurred to her that her son of good qualities could do such a thing to a man on the sly. She couldn’t go and meet Ji Chen, about whom she felt extremely guilty. Ji Chen was a good kid, and she couldn’t imagine how suffering he was after being forced to do such a thing by a man. In her eyes, that Ji Chen didn’t call 110 had treated her family well.

Neither did she dare to talk to her husband about this. If Domineering’s father knew this, he would definitely break Domineering Guy’s legs, not to mention meeting Ji Chen’s parents. The Ji family was also influential in the city. If they knew their son was treated in that way, this matter would turn a public scandal.

When her husband went out to work, she shed her tears holding a pillow in her arms while sitting on the sofa. Why was her son such a person? She thought she raised him better. Even if he was gay, why not get along with his boyfriend just like what Zhou Yang did? Why was her son a scoundrel?

【310】

Therefore, Domineering’s mother went to meet The Coquettish’s father. Since the latter’s first wife died early, Ji Chen didn’t get his mother around since childhood. Many women came and went around The Coquettish’s father, none of whom was the official hostess and cared about Ji Chen sincerely. The deeper she cared about Ji Chen, the more she thought her son had done too far.

“Well, does Mrs. Zhou have something urgent?” The Coquettish’s father didn’t deal with her by himself before, so he felt confused about her arrival.

She felt guilty, so she stuttered, “Oh, aren’t we moving soon? Since our kids get well with each other, I want to ask them to come back and have a meal together.”

The Coquettish’s father said with a smile, “That’s it? You can tell me on the phone. Why bother to come here specially?”

“I have nothing to do at home…I really like Ji Chen and also know he gets along with Mingming,” said she. Those words were inexplicable, but The Coquettish’s father knew the inside story. Having thought for a while, he guessed that she probably came here to ask about the things between Zhou Ming and Ji Chen.

He took a sip of the tea while leaning against the back of the chair. With his thought slightly changed, he decided to take the initiative to complain. “Yes, they have a good relationship. But, it will be troublesome if a little boy loves playing with another little boy so much.”

She immediately turned nervous, thinking that he had sensed something, “What do you mean?”

He said with a smile, “Young master of the Zhou family played with him every day. It’s fine since they were both kids at that time. Later, when I wanted to introduce girlfriends to him, the Young master of the Zhou family scared those girls away. I don’t know when he will take my daughter-in-law to see me, which worries me most.”

Hearing this, she shuddered with fear, for her son was indeed a bastard. She couldn’t help feeling depressed. “It’s Mingming’s fault.”

He changed his subject at the time. “You can’t say this. Little Chen likes playing with the Young master of the Zhou family, too.” She felt sourer and thought if only it was the case.
