[53. Rain drizzling onto the footpaths]
Sometimes, it is hard to understand the human heart. Just like how Bai Lian Hua could not understand why his cousin left home early this morning only to cheerfully say to him when he got back, “Song Qingge is not bad.”
……Hey! Weren’t you the bastard who was against it in the beginning?! And then he was kicked out of the apartment by Bai Qingyi who’s reason was: “I don’t want to raise useless people!”. Bai Lian Hua could only express his feelings with one word: “F*ck!”
Back at the dormitory, Chu Zhongtian and Zhou Nanjiang had returned from their hometown. Zhou Nanjiang in particular was tanned to the point that his pearly white teeth glowed even more against his tanned skin.
“Where did you go last night?” Li Bei asked him. “I slept at my cousin’s place. He wouldn’t let me leave.” Bai Lian Hua pretentiously yawned and moved over to his desk to gently stroke the computer he had yearned for.
Seemingly because of his loving touch, the computer also seemed to be running especially fast today but Bai Lian Hua did not make any indication to move. He didn’t want to go online, didn’t want to play games, didn’t want to log into penguin and didn’t want to surf the web………He thought back to Bai Qingyi’s words.
Adolescents? Opposition to homosexuality?……..This is a serious problem and is something that is difficult to deal with. Bai Lian Hua thought…..such a serious problem should be left for Song Qingge to deal with! Someone like him who wants to live a happy life shouldn’t ruin his brain cells to deal with these problems.
Falling silent for a few seconds, Bai Lian Hua logged onto penguin and sent a short and concise message to Song Qingge who couldn’t help but feel his face pale in response: “Song Qingge, let’s go meet my parents!”
They’re progressing this fast? No…..This was what he wanted. But after hearing it from Bai Lian Hua’s mouth, why did he feel like there’s some sort of strange intention behind it? Did the sun rise from the west today and affect Bai Lian Hua’s ability to think properly…?
Song Qingge looked at the message that surprised him and, for a long time, he couldn’t recover his senses. “Bai Luan Hua, are you serious?”
Bai Lian Hua responded very quickly: “No sh*it! As serious as a dead man.”
“Why?” “Because if I don’t do it now, I’m afraid that I will regret it later.”
Once you miss it, some things will not come back. It is just like this for impulsiveness. Some would wait until their impulsiveness settles down whilst others would follow their impulse and stubbornly persist. Bai Lian Hua is someone who wasn’t very impulsive but, right now, he wanted to be.
In his whole life, apart from his relatives, he had never loved anyone. Even though his relationship history can be traced back to his junior high school years, Bai Lian Hua himself knew that he had never felt the so-called “heart palpations”. If he didn’t discover his ability to have “morning wood” then he would have suspected that he was not normal. What was funny was that the first time in his life his heart was moved was caused by another guy who also possesses a rod.
When did it start…..he couldn’t pinpoint it exactly. He could only remember that moment his heart almost burst out of his chest when Song Qingge kissed him. …….As he thought of that moment, he couldn’t help but feel angry. He had believed that he would find a job after graduating and hopefully work as a civil servant while continuing to play online games. Once his job is stable, he would find a girlfriend. If the girlfriend is a local then it is better and could save a lot of money. After that they would have a lovely daughter….he wouldn’t mind if it’s a boy either….But then, he met Song Qingge. He originally didn’t have any feelings towards him……….He had always felt that he wouldn’t have feelings towards another man. In the end….he was subverted.
His world views collapsed and shattered into tiny fragments. These fragments slowly mixed together and formed into one phrase: Song brother, let’s be together…..
He didn’t know what this feeling was and didn’t know how to describe it. Sure enough, anyone who says that they don’t want to be in a relationship is actually secretly homosexual……Bai Lian Hua for some reason recalled these words his Xth girlfriend had said to him when they broke up. What bulls*it.——–No, that’s wrong! Isn’t this too coincidental?
Roommate 13:01:17
Are you Chen Tian, or Yun Yu =_=
What’s with that tone of certainty? Song brother are you suspecting me? Or are you scared because happiness came to you too suddenly? Bastard, I’m telling you, you must grab opportunities when they come by……
White Lotus 13:01:47
It is well and truly me!
Before Bai Lian Hua received Song Qingge’s answer on penguin, Song Qingge called him. As soon as he answered he was asked: “Bai Lian Hua, did you account get hacked?”
“…” Hey! Why are you saying this so easily? “Not hacked.” “You’re serious?”
”Do I sound like I’m not serious enough?” The corners of Bai Lian Hua’s lips twitched.
It’s because you’re suddenly speaking so seriously that’s why I’m doubting it okay?
“Song Qingge, I think I really like you.”
He had laid in bed at Bai Qingyi’s house and thought things over for a whole night. As someone who didn’t like trouble, it was reasonable for him to be worried but he wasn’t afraid at all. If he wanted to find a partner, Bai Lian Hua was certain that no one would be better than Song Qingge or at least there was no one else who he won’t find less troublesome.
It was a strange feeling. He rolled around on the bed feeling his face heat up.
Song brother, even if you are unable to provide the Bai family with an offspring to carry the family line…..Ah, this seems to be a serious problem.
The other end of the phone was eerily silent. “Okay I’ll book the tickets. Where is your home?”
“S province. F city.”
The phone then hung up.
Bai Lian Hua turned off his phone and saw Li Bei who had been watching soap drama on his MP5 staring at him with interest.
“Bai Lian Hua….You’re bringing your girlfriend to meet your parents?”
Bai Lian Hua nodded.
Li Bei smacked his hand on the bed: “What a good progress! Next time invite your girlfriend over and introduce her to us.”
“Forget it.” Your jaws will definitely dislocate if you saw him,
Li Bei glanced at him: “Why? Afraid that we will steal your girlfriend?”
Bai Lian Hua shook his head: “That’s not it. The main thing is how good your psychological endurance is.”
For a while, the people in the dormitory did not speak. After a few minutes, Chu Zhongtian whispered: “Is your girlfriend from our school?”
“Yes.” A University, Computer department, Song Qingge.
Chu Zhongtian was speechless: “Sure enough, it is a test for my hearts endurance.” He then changed the topic, “But there’s only four days until military training. Do you have enough time?”
“………Should be fine.” The trip to and from there takes about a day so using the remaining three days to meet his parents was definitely enough.
Zhou Nanjiang who was cleaning up walked by and patted Bai Lian Hua’s shoulder. “Congratulations brother. We’re relying on you to free us from the title “Virgin Dormitory”!”
“…….” Something like this, you’ll have to deal with it yourself. Of course Bai Lian Hua couldn’t say this out loud.
Even until they’ve boarded the plane, Song Qingge was confused. He clearly remembered that one week ago their relationship was still ambiguous and he didn’t expect that, one week later, they’re actually going to meet the parents……
“Do you think your dad will accept me?” Song Qingge broke the silence.
Bai Lian Hua pulled up his eye mask, “You’re my lover, not his…..Wake me up when we’re there.” Even so, Bai Lian Hua’s palms were filled with cold sweat.
Throughout the whole journey, Bai Lian Hua thought about how he should tell his parents but time passed very quickly and before he could sort out his thoughts, the plane had landed.
Arriving at the airport, Bai Lian Hua turned on his phone and called his mother. “Mom”
Mother Bai’s voice sounded pleasantly surprised: “Aiyou my good son. You actually remembered to call your mom. Are you short on money?”
Why do you immediately think that I’m calling you because I’m short on money? Is his image in his parents’ hearts so bad? The speechless Bai Lian Hua replied: “No mom. I brought back my…..my lover.”
“Ah?” Mother Bai’s voice suddenly rose a few octaves. “Didn’t you say that you will only date after graduating?”
Bai Lian Hua smiled with embarrassment. Of course, mother Bai couldn’t see this but Song Qingge saw his expression clearly. “There will always be changes to plans. Why worry about things like that when I’ve found the right person?”
Mother Bai thought about it and nodded: “That’s true. Your father has been going on about you every day saying things like ‘University girls are the easiest to hook up with. That kid should be working harder. Later when he enters the society, those people’s standards will also rise and then it’ll be impossible for them to be interested in Bai Lian Hua……’.”
“I think what you dad said is right.” Song Qinge quietly said this as he stood beside him. Bai Lian Hua looked at him exasperatedly.
“What does that girl like to eat? Where are you now? Do you need mom to pick you up from the airport?” Mother Bai asked energetically.
Bai Lian Hua swallowed and slowly replied: “Mom. I’ll tell you something but don’t get angry.”
“Say it. Mom won’t get angry.”
“We are now at the airport…….” Bai Lian Hua glanced at Song Qingge who stood next to him, “And….the one I brought back is a man.”
The phone line suddenly became silent. Later, a breathless gasp was heard: “Bai Lian Hua! What did you say?!” Following this, there was a sound of things crashing.
“I said….” Bai Lian Hua felt his scalp go numb and subconsciously wanted to escape. He then thought: if he can’t even convince his mother, how can he convince anyone else? Bracing himself, he said, “I said, I brought back a man…”
Mother Bai on the other end of the phone suddenly laughed loudly: “Son, are you joking around with your mother? How can this be! “
Bai Lian Hua replied: “It’s true.” His whole back was now soaked with cold sweat.
Mother Bai’s laughter stopped short,
For how long? Bai Lian Hua didn’t know. He only heard his heart beating loudly in his chest. Even the blood circulating around his body had sped up.
“Bai Lian Hua! Go get lost!” A strong and powerful male voice came through from the other end of the phone. The anger in his voice felt as if it could break through and travel through the phone line to reach Bai Lian Hua. Bai Lian Hua felt his legs go soft, “I don’t have such a useless son like you!”
Bai Lian Hua suddenly couldn’t hear anything. In a state of confusion, he seemed to have heard his father tell him to get lost, and then tell him to go to the hospital…
——–“Your mother fainted because of you!” The whole time Song Qingge dragged him to the hospital, these words repeated in his mind.
Did he make a mistake? Bai Lian Hua looked at the public hospital in front of him and suddenly released Song Qingge’s hand.
“Song Qingge….Can you wait for me here?” Bai Lian Hua looked at him and asked with a slightly pleading done. “I don’t want my mom to be stimulated again…”
Song Qingge just glanced at him and smiled: “Okay. I’ll wait for you.”
I will always wait for you.
