Ch88.1 - Courage (1/2)
Under the moonlight, Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng left the teacher’s dormitory and walked onto the field. Zhou Sheng extended a hand towards Yu Hao and within the tranquil silence, the two of them held hands as they swung them back and forth.

“Don’t wanna go back to the dorm.” Zhou Sheng said.
“Then do you wanna go to the woods? Yu Hao laughed, “We’ll get caught by security.”
Zhou Sheng laughed too. They constantly had to be very cautious when they wanted to be intimate now; in the dormitory they were afraid of attacking Fu Liqun, and they had to be cautious of getting photographed outside. Basically, they couldn’t do anything anywhere.
“I have a feeling that Kaikai really does like you.” Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao.
Yu Hao, “Ai, that’s impossible. Why would he like me?”
Zhou Sheng said, “It’s as if he’s shaping you, didn’t you notice?”
Yu Hao, “What?”

For a moment Yu Hao didn’t understand what Zhou Sheng was saying. Zhou Sheng let go of Yu Hao’s hand and turned around to walk backwards while facing him, “Didn’t you notice? Kaikai’s always teaching you things, guiding you, and shaping you into who he wants you to be.”
When he said this, Zhou Sheng seemed a little disheartened.
Yu Hao vaguely understood what Zhou Sheng meant. Chen Yekai did pay very close attention to him and was aware that he was unwilling to accept material gifts. so Chen Yekai would always plan some ‘coincidences’ to guide him, allowing him to gain more knowledge. He was shaping Yu Hao’s values and outlook on life, while also stimulating him to think more deeply.
Yu Hao said, “I intended to tell him that we’re together today.”
Zhou Sheng said, “You’ll need to find a suitable time to tell him that yourself seriously. If only I was a bit more powerful.”
Yu Hao was stunned. He suddenly understood why Zhou Sheng had been acting a bit strange recently.
“Like Kaikai?” Yu Hao asked.
“Fish, is what I want. A bear’s paw, is what I want.” Zhou Sheng said in a bored manner, “The two can’t be attained together; sacrifice life for the sake of justice.”
Te Ljb, “???”

After Zhou Sheng confirmed their relationship, he wanted to work hard to take care of him and provide him the best material comforts; but once Zhou Laichun learns that his son is gay, he will definitely force them to break up. Insisting to be with Yu Hao meant that they would have to meet with Zhou Laichun’s opposition in the future.
At that time, an intense conflict would erupt between Zhou Sheng and his father. On his birthday, after Zhou Sheng finished talking to his father, even without him expressing it, Yu Hao knew that Zhou Sheng had accepted the idea that Zhou Laichun’s words might have sounded coarse, but the reasoning behind them wasn’t.
Yu Hao said, “You want to tell your Dad? Isn’t it a bit too early?”
Zhou Sheng laughed, “Early? Haven’t we been together since the first day we met?”

Yu Hao was rendered momentarily speechless. Zhou Sheng touched Yu Hao’s face in contemplation, then continued, “Do you think it’s more suitable to tell him after graduation, or now?”
If Yu Hao was allowed to choose, he wouldn’t want Zhou Sheng’s parents to know or get implicated for this lifetime. But everyone knew that this was basically impossible; Zhou Laichun clearly wanted to interfere in his son’s life. Whether or not they said it now or after graduation wouldn’t make much of a difference.
Zhou Sheng said, “I can’t be like sis-in-law, it won’t be good for us……”
“Sis-in-law is different.” Yu Hao answered, “She said it long ago, it’s just that her family doesn’t support it.”
Cen Shan’s situation was known when she graduated from senior high and was naturally subjected to intense opposition from her father. He even laid in a hospital for half a month and almost suffered a stroke because of Cen Shan. So Cen Shan could only continue dating Fu Liqun while putting up a passive resistance, but her father gave her an ultimatum in the end. In consideration of her father’s health, Cen Shan could only lie to him that she had already broken up with Fu Liqun.
Fu Liqun was extremely upset and said something like ‘then let’s break up ba’, which was why he got drunk last winter and went to seek reconciliation.
Zhou Sheng said patiently, “What do you think the best situation would be?”

Yu Hao pondered for a moment. Zhou Sheng continued, “We had established a premise from the beginning: being together is something that my parents would definitely not be able to accept.”
“Yes.” Yu Hao nodded. He was convinced that Zhou Sheng’s parents would not accept their son dating another guy.
“But what if they can accept it?” Zhou Sheng said, “I can go to his company to help and do whatever he wants me to do, and they would accept you too. Wouldn’t that be the best outcome?”
In that case, Zhou Sheng’s future, as well as his future with Yu Hao would be settled.
Yu Hao said, “I think your father would be so angry at us that he’d suffer a stroke. I’m not just saying that.”
