Chapter Twenty Part Two
When I returned home, I bumped into Shu Nian just as he was
opening the doorWearing thick clothes,
he appeared to be going outAfter he
saw oodnessI was just worrying that there’s no one to
look after Xiao JiaIf I don’t make it
back in ti a half an hour of TV, put
hi out”
This no-good, poor old husband
Xiao Jia beside us said, “Daddy, I can warm milk by myself”
I patted his head and looked at Shu Nian, “Where are you going?”
“Oh, Xie Yan’s father askedhe wanted to discuss
with meIt’s still early in the day
anyway, so I’ll be back soon”
“What does he have to talk about that he can’t do it over the
phone?”
Shu Nian shook his head, “I’ to do with Xie
Yan”He then laughed“Well, I’ll know once I get there”His laughter was a little forcedHe probably had a sense of foreboding
“Brother,” said Shu Nian
“Yeah?”
“Can homosexuality be cured?”
I laughingly said, “What are you talking about?How do you treat so that was never a
disease to begin with?”
He looked at me“Xie Yan
liked girls from the startIt was because
I liked hiradually…”He hesitated“Maybe it’s not
impossible…for him to revert back”
I really wanted to thump my chest and reassure himBut when I recalled the scene in the
restaurant earlier, I didn’t knohat to say for a moment, so I wrapped my arm
around his scrawny shoulders“I’ll
drive you there”
When Xie Feng and his wife saw that besides Shu Nian there was
me, an outsider, they were a little taken abackThe four of us sat face to face with a coffee
table in betweenThey felt slightly
aard, and Shu Nian was nervous, yet I was perfectly calm
Xie Feng gave out a cough“Actually, it’s really nothing of importanceWhy don’t we discuss this another day?”
Shu Nian looked at me and said, “It’s okayHe’s o ahead”
An idiot with no secrets
Xie Feng considered it for a moment and said, “I know you’ll
bla old-fashi+onedBut
Xie Yan liked woHe wasn’t born a homosexualIt
was entirely because of you that he became one”
I knew it
Mrs Xie continued, “You’re a good child, and we’re at ease that
Xie Yan is with youYou look after himlady of any household, but in spite of everything,
you’re a manHow are we to introduce
you in public?A daughter-in-law can’t
be afor the elderly”
“…”
“Don’t you love Xie Yan verythe case, you should think of
himHe’s under a lot of pressure like
this, and you know he’s a filial childHow can he bear to hurt us?Since
he already has a child, he’s only short of a wifeBesides, you two can’t getdeal to let someone
else have the title”
“…”
“We’re not asking you two to break upWe’re not against you two being together
anymoreWe just hope you could be a
little enerous and accept a womanShe willwithShe doesn’t mind that there is Xiao XiShe doesn’t even mind that you are thereYou should knooman wouldn’t have that
great of a hostility towards a manAnd
it would be best if you could be a bit more tolerant like her”
The back, which Shu Nian often has hunched, completely
straightened at that momentIt was so
taut that the veins on his neck surfacedIt pained me a little to watch
“Her?Who is she?”
“You don’t know?Xie Yan has been datingThe lady has liked him for so many years”
Shu Nian suddenly quieted downAnyone who has kept too much bottled up would be speechless like this
“Xie Yan didn’t tell you because he couldn’tHe was afraid you’d be hurtSo as parents, we’re not afraid to be the bad
guys and explain the situation in his place”
“I’m unable to accept it”When Shu Nian finally spoke, his voice was soft as ever, no screa or
shouting“I don’t mind that he has a
son seeing that we can’t continue the faive everyone Xie Yan’s
own child with the help of a surrogate motherEveryone is happy that there’s a child who rese to do with betrayal
“But as long as I’m here, he can’t marry someone elseEven if we don’t have the title, we should
still be devoted to each otherHe is my
spouse”
He has never spoken in a loud voiceBeing gentle is not equivalent to being weak,
and you don’t have to be tough to be strong
“If it’s Xie Yan’s intention to marry, then please have him
personally tell me
“He can choose himself whether to be with me or marry a
woardless of how it’ll turn out,
so long as it’s his decision, I will definitely accept itI won’t force him”
The two elderly people were probably surprised by his
reactionThey looked at each other’s
face for a while and then said, “How about thisDon’t lose your temperIf you leave Xie Yan, Xie Yan will undoubtedly
sufferAre you willing to have him
suffer?If the Xie household failed you
in any e’ll make it up to you from here on out—whatever you want”
Shu Nian’s eyes reddened, yet he didn’t utter another word
I believe I had h he’d probably accept reality noa fuss, that doesn’t mean he
would stay put and bear with it
On the way ho
out a couple irrepressible coughsI
could iI wished I could rip Xie Yan apart
That bastard had the nerve to bully my brotherSee if
I don’t twist his head off and kick it like a ballWhen I had left home to make my way in this
world, that brat, Xie Yan, was still in kindergartenHowever, my main concern noas to cheer up Shu
