Chapter 88 - Out of Control Photobook (END) (2/2)

Or for example………The person that he goes out with is Bai Yi, not him.

And it will never be him……..

“Huh? Wh-what’s wrong?”

Cheng Ling Ling saw that the eyes of the boy before her had suddenly turned red and for a moment she didn’t know what to do. She had never seen another boy cry. Why was he crying? Was it because it was too sweet?

If Su Ling hated sweets yet he still ate it because she mentioned that her brother liked it………Does this mean that he has feelings for her brother?

The girl couldn’t help but become vigilant ————-She thought of Gu Zhen. This man also likes her brother.

But even if you wanted to get in a relationship with her brother, it’s not an easy feat. They will need to get through her first. She won’t easily let her brother become someone else’s!

Thinking this, Cheng Ling Ling looked suspiciously at her brothers’ friends. She started to feel that they were all dangerous. They all seemed to have bad intentions towards her brother……

“?”

Bai Xi Xing who sat not far away suddenly shivered. He had a strange feeling.

……..

Cheng Zhi Chu finished washing up the dishes and came out from the kitchen. He immediately heard his mother once again asking that question.

“Are you all single? Do you have someone that you like?” Mother Cheng smiled and asked the people who arrived later.

“Mum………” Cheng Zhi Chu called out to her. He spoke helplessly, “Stop asking about these things.”

He was worried about it possibly triggering something terrible…..

Mother Cheng complained: “What’s wrong with asking? If they don’t want to answer, Xiao Xie and the others can just not reply. I won’t force them.”

But even though she said that, her expectant look made it hard for the others to refuse.

“I have someone that I like.” Xie Yuan Huai nodded slightly. He quickly glanced over at Cheng Zhi Chu before politely answering.

“Me too.” The groom smiled and said, “I am soon to marry him ———-Ouch, what are you doing?” He glared at Joshua who suddenly pinched him. The latter however didn’t pay him any attention.

The groom was about to get angry, but Mother Cheng happily gave him her congratulations, so he didn’t dare explode. He continued chatting with Mother Cheng ——— It is never wrong to please one’s mother-in-law.

“……….Yes, me too.” The ghost with the appearance of a young teenager solemnly nodded. At the same time he revealed a depressed look, “But I think he probably doesn’t like me……..”

Mother Cheng saw this and tried to comfort him: “Don’t worry. As such a handsome boy like you, the person that you like will definitely like you too. It’s just a matter of time.”

“I also have someone that I like, but it is unrequited.”

Joshua smiled. He replied and said: “But I have never asked for him to respond to my feelings. Because I’m afraid of not even being able to be friends.”

“How can that be?”

Mother Cheng was surprised. Even Father Cheng who sat to one side and was too embarrassed to join in turned his head over and interjected: “You’re too pessimistic. You can still be friends. Young girls have always been more tolerant towards handsome men. If you don’t believe me, ask Ling Ling.”

“Dad!” Cheng Ling Ling cried out.

“No, I’m not being pessimistic. It’s………” Joshua lowered his eyes. His smiled bitterly and said in a small voice, “The person that I like is a man.”

“………..”

The room suddenly quietened down. Cheng Zhi Chu widened his eyes. He looked over at Joshua with a look of disbelief ———– This guy can’t be thinking of confessing to him right in front of his parents?!

“Did I make it awkward for everyone?” Joshua said apologetically. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have mentioned it.”

“……….No, of course not. Liking someone is a natural thing. How can we feel awkward?”

Mother Cheng was stunned for a few seconds before she quickly recovered. She patted Joshua’s shoulder and gently comforted him: “You just happened to like someone of the same gender. This isn’t illegal or immoral. It is just instinct. Everyone is equal. No one is qualified to blame you of anything.”

Father Cheng nodded. He echoed: “That’s right.”

“But like this, you have to consider a lot of things.” Mother Cheng said, “You must first figure out whether or not the person that you like can accept you. You also need to take into consideration the environment around you and your family’s response…..It won’t be easy. You should have a long-term plan.”

“Yes, that’s right.” Father Cheng added.

“Uncle, aunty, you……” Joshua appeared to be moved. He asked, “Don’t you think that I’m……….”

“We are not old-fashioned people.” Mother Cheng smiled and said, “In our opinion, it doesn’t matter whether you like the same gender or the opposite gender. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to get married or have children. The most important thing is to be happy. It’s not like they’re criminals. Their decisions should be respected.”

“Your aunt is right.” Father Cheng nodded.”

“You really think this?” Cheng Ling Ling sat up. She said with surprise, “Mum, I’ve always thought that you trusted the media.”

“As long as the conditions are right, I am willing to help make a difference. This isn’t something that surprising. Stop overreacting.” Mother Cheng poked her daughter’s forehead.

“No, I just found it strange. You have never told brother and I about it.”

Like his sister, Cheng Zhi Chu was also very surprised. At the same time, he was moved. His heart felt very warm inside.

Although he had only just gotten together with Bai Yi and had not had the time to consider what his family’s reaction would be, he was indeed subconsciously worried about it and would intentionally avoid his parents. He had never thought that his parents would be so open-minded.

It looks like, as long as his parents approve of Bai Yi, they would allow them to be together. From the looks of it, his parents seemed to like Bai Yi so that wasn’t a problem at all.

“Thank you, uncle and aunty.”

The golden-haired young man revealed a moved expression. He then turned around and winked at Cheng Zhi Chu with a grin on his face. Seeing this, Cheng Zhi Chu understood. Joshua was deliberately acting to test out his parents’ attitude towards homosexuality.

The other’s also fell into deep thought. Time passed by quickly and it was already late. Cheng Zhi Chu, Bai Yi and the others left and planned to stay the night at a hotel owned by the Bai family.

Because he was worried that something could happen, Cheng Zhi Chu also decided to stay at the hotel for the night. After telling his family that he wanted to catch up with his friends, his parents naturally didn’t refuse.

Under Bai Xi Xing’s arrangement, they occupied the top floor of the hotel and each had their own rooms. Cheng Zhi Chu’s room was in the middle of all the rooms.

Cheng Zhi Chu finished showering and he walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair. Standing at the window, he appreciated the night view. Just when he was contemplating over whether or not he should check on the situation outside, the system suddenly appeared. It spoke joyfully:

【The photobook is finally fixed. You can now once again store the soul fragments inside. Go to their rooms now and kiss them!]

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 88)

Tonight probably won’t be very peaceful. I plan to go find Zhi Chu later and sleep with him but I am certain that the other ‘me’’s would also have the same idea.

Bai Xi Xing’s Diary (Excerpt)

I don’t know if Junior Cheng is worried about things like this. For example, after getting together with my cousin, the elders in the family would throw credit cards with tens of millions at his face and force him to leave my cousin.

But in reality, this is something that won’t happen——-The elders in the family have already come to an agreement. With my cousin’s personality, he would definitely live his entire life alone. (Cousin is too restrained. Apart from me, no one else in the family knew about his feelings for Junior Cheng. He would always show a cold and indifferent look.) Now that there is suddenly someone who is willing to spend their entire lifetime with my cousin, they would probably tearfully shove credit cards with hundreds of millions in Junior Cheng’s hand and beg him not to leave my cousin.

And the money matter is easy to negotiate. If several hundred million isn’t enough, they can give him more.
