Chapter 73: Chapter 72:

Qu Qing didn't have much hope for his mother's waking up after more than ten

years of disappointment, but he didn't expect that he would actually have hope

of seeing his waking mother again in his lifetime. .

When he saw the man on the bed with his eyes open, he almost suspected that it

was his own delusion.

"Mom?" He called out to the other party, and then moved forward cautiously,

those eyes were still familiar to him.

The moment mother Qu saw her son, she looked at her in confusion for a while

before she dared to confirm that the other person was really her own child.

She burst into tears and wanted to say something, but she could only barely

make a single sound when she opened her mouth. , She suddenly panicked,

obviously she still didn't know what state she was in.

Qu Qing hurriedly reassured her not to speak in a hurry, and at the same time

called the doctor loudly, unable to hide her excitement.

Followed by messy footsteps and a series of examinations, and finally the

doctor said to him: "Congratulations, everyone is fine now, but just woke up,

the body is extremely deficient in nutrients, but don't eat too greasy food at

first , Let's start with a light liquid food, and there are many other

precautions, your mother has to be hospitalized for a period of time, and you

usually have to..."

Qu Qing listened with joy, asking the doctor from time to time, and carefully

jotting down the things that need attention.

The two of them were talking in the ward. During this period, Qu Yin kept

staring at the current Qu Qing without blinking.

The doctor almost left after speaking, leaving time to the mother and son who

had not spoken to each other for more than ten years.

After recovering the ability to speak, Mother Qu's first reaction was to grab

Qu Qing's hand and look at her with tears in her eyes: "Your hand..."

Following her line of sight, Qu Qing also looked down at his hand, and

suddenly realized the change in his body. On his hand, there were thick

calluses that had grown after doing physical work, as well as wounds and some

scars. In the past few years, his hands have been cultivated a lot, but he has

inevitably done a lot of work, but all of them are done voluntarily and

willingly.

But his memory is still on the eve of the college entrance examination. His

mother always grabbed his hand and said proudly: "These hands should be used

to play the piano and become a musician."

In fact, he probably did have a dream in this regard, at least the goal was to

become a person who made a living by music. For this reason, he also spent a

lot of money to learn musical instruments since elementary school. Originally,

he was a music student. He was also prepared for the test, but fate made him

take a completely different path. After so many years of hard work, these

hands are no longer suitable for playing. After more than ten years of

painstaking training, The boring practice day after day completely vanished.

"Mom, don't be sad, even if you don't play the piano, it's nothing."

Mother Qu cried even more sadly, hugging him tightly: "I'm sad for you, you

worked so hard for so many years..."

"I'm not sad, but rather happy. In fact, I wanted to say it a long time ago.

It's so boring to practice musical instruments. I don't like it, but Mom, you

like it, so I insist on it."

"Really?" She raised her head and looked at him. In fact, for her now, to be

able to live well and reunite with her son is already a blessing from God.

Even if she is lost, she can only Can accept reality.

"It's true, I'm not lying to you. If I really liked musical instruments, I

would have continued to practice every day for the past ten years or so, but

in fact, I have only touched an instrument only a handful of times." The only

time was for fun. Hua Zizhou is happy.

In fact, he realized very early on that he probably had no talent or interest

in art, and it was not a bad thing to give up like this.

Two months later, Qu Qing bought a two-bedroom second-hand house. The

convenience was that there was no need for decoration and the furniture was

complete. He took his mother back directly and thanked the Wang family for

their help. His mother took care of her body. As for what happened in the past

ten years, he didn't mention a word.

Even to his friends, he only mentioned it vaguely. These are what he earned in

ten years, and his friends didn't doubt anything, and the life went on like

this.

On this day, seeing her son busy in the kitchen, Qu Yin flashed worry in his

eyes, hesitated for a while, and finally asked cautiously when he was eating

in the restaurant, "Son, I'm all right now, you don't have to take care of me

all day. Me, our family has been supported by you all these years, and it's

not easy, in terms of savings, I..."

Qu Qing smiled and added a bowl of porridge to her: "Mom, just say what you

want to say."

"Do you need to go to work? Our family should have no money..." She kept

looking at the expression on Qu Qing's face as she spoke, probably because she

was afraid that what she said would hurt his self-esteem.

Through the slow rehabilitation in the past few months, she has never dared to

ask. On the eve of the college entrance examination, she suddenly had an

accident. How did her son come over after that, but she saw his son's

calloused hands and strong muscles She lost a lot of body, and her heart was

aching hot.

His son... those hands, the ones that were supposed to be playing the piano,

but now it's all her fault.

Qu Qing noticed that the corners of his mother's eyes were a little wet, so he

immediately put down the things in his hands and patted his back to comfort

him.

"It's okay, I succeeded in starting a business in the past and saved a lot of

money. Mom, you don't have to worry about money, it's enough. If you don't

like the old house, we'll look at the new one after dinner. , I was thinking

of a place where I didn’t live, and it was convenient to buy second-hand

pictures.”

Mother Qu was shocked. She thought that buying this apartment must have spent

all her son's savings, but she didn't expect that he still had a lot of money.

Qu Qing thought for a while, and then revealed his bank card balance.

Mother Qu was so shocked that her jaw dropped.

Qu Qing thought he didn't believe it, so he took out his mobile phone and

checked it for her.

She stared at the string of zeros for a long time, and even after counting the

decimal points three times, she realized that what her son just said was true.

Seeing her son's indifferent face in the face of so much money, Qu Yin once

again realized how many wonderful times she had missed her son.

Seeing her own child really didn't care, she dared to ask how he survived

after he became a vegetable.

Qu Qing pondered for a while, and first said lightly about the most difficult

years in the beginning, and secretly said that he had met a mysterious person,

had a high-tech career, and let himself go to a far away place to do work

similar to farming. My son, because that place was relatively backward, he was

lucky to become a teacher in the village, and then he led the people in the

village to get rich, and because of this he saved a sum of money.

He finished the ten years of hardship dryly in three or two sentences.

Mother Qu said dissatisfiedly: "This is too simple, you can be more careful,

who have you met, have you suffered any hardships, and your students and

friends, best, have you met someone you like? of."

the person I like?

Qu Qing moved his fingertips, and his son Zhou suddenly appeared in his mind.

In fact, it should be said, but he realizes that his mother does not know his

sexuality.

He once asked his mother about her attitude towards homosexuality. Qu Qing

still remembered how she was completely unacceptable, so when he talked about

the past, he deliberately ignored Zizhou's deeds, fearing that he would say

too much. A lot of exposure, so he only said that he once adopted a very cute

son, but he couldn't bring it back. It's too far away from here, and he

shouldn't have the chance to meet again in the future.

When Mother Qu heard that he had an adopted son, she couldn't wait to take a

look, and asked, "What's there to be afraid of if you're far away, modern

transportation is so developed, if you're far away, it's better to fly a

plane, don't you think? "

"It's not like this..." Qu Qing shook his head, "I can't go to that place by

plane, and I probably won't have the opportunity to go there again in my

lifetime. There, it's like another world."

In fact, it is another place that cannot be reached with the power of current

science.

Seeing that his voice was getting more and more lost, Qu Yin stopped asking

questions.

Qu Qing didn't talk about it anymore, but talked about friends, students, and

interesting things he knew in ancient times, but he didn't say anything about

Hua Zizhou. Know how to speak.

After dinner, he had been feeling a little irritable, and he couldn't show

anything in front of his mother, so he called and asked Wang Yi to go out for

a drink.

"What's the matter with you today?" Wang saw his expression, slowly raised the

glass to his mouth, and drank it slowly.

"Actually I'm gay."

"Pfft!!!!" Wang Yi spit out a sip of wine, then backed away in horror, taking

a self-defense gesture, "You, you, what did you say? I'm a family man!"

Qu Qing rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, the person I like is not yours."

Wang Yi pondered for a while, then sat back and stared at him and asked, "So

you want to come out? But do you have someone you like, maybe someone you met

in the past ten years?"

"I did meet someone I like, and even married him locally, but I know my

mother's attitude. My mother won't accept it. I don't know how to tell her."

"Then you... and the person you like, you will still be together in the

future? Hide your mother? Where are you, you are hiding well." Wang Yi patted

his shoulder as he spoke. .

Qu Qing could also see from his expression and his actions when getting along

with him. There was no discrimination in his eyes, but this actually made Qu

Qing relieved.

"That person is not here, and he will probably never see him in the future. He

is from there, and I have returned to my own world. With our own strength, we

cannot go to where he is, and there is no way to go. "

"Then are you going to find someone else in the future? Tell me what you

think."

Qu Qing sighed: "I love him, and he loves me too, although there is no way we

can continue to be together, but I don't plan to betray him, I just want to be

single for the rest of my life, but I... hope my mother knows there is him The

existence of such a person, although I will never meet again in the future,

but my mother's health is not completely healthy, if I come out to her, I am

worried that she will not be able to bear it."

The two looked at each other for a while, and couldn't find any solution. Wang

Yi finally said to him: "You just drag it on, and then wait, and when there is

a chance in the future, tell it slowly. your mother."

Before the two said goodbye to each other and went home, Qu Qing seemed to

suddenly remember something, and called his friend back: "What business did

you fail to do before? I'm a little interested. I saved some money there

before to bring Come back, but I still want to earn a little more for

retirement, do you still have a business to do, I want to be a shareholder."

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "I want it! Are you

really rich? After all, if you want to start a business and become a big

business, you need a lot of money, and there has been inflation in the past

ten years."

Qu Qing asked him very simply: "How much money do you need."

Wang Yi tentatively said a number.

"Okay, let's settle this matter for now. We'll discuss how it works in two

days. I'll go first, bye."

Wang Yi waved his hand, but he still hasn't recovered from Qu Qing's wealth.

Qu Qing found that since that day, his mother really didn't worry about his

work anymore, but started to find a partner for him.

Under her earnest gaze, Qu Qing couldn't refuse after 10,000 reasons. In the

end, she had no choice but to quietly reject several girls in private, and

then hide on the grounds that she and Wang Yi partnered to start a business.

Seeing that it was not the way to live like this, Qu Qing had to admit that he

had someone he liked, but Qu's mother asked him without saying who it was.

Obviously, such reasons were unconvincing.

Mother Qu saw that Qu Qing was always hiding like this, pushing and resisting,

and vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she found an opportunity to talk

to him.

Qu Qing thought about it again and again, and finally admitted his sexual

orientation, and also said the existence of Hua Zizhou.

"I like men, and I already have someone I like. Mom, I don't want to have a

blind date anymore. Don't force me again, okay?"

Mother Qu was silent for a long time before shaking her hands and asking him

sadly, "Can't you change it?"

Although Qu Qing was reluctant to let her be so sad, he still shook his head

firmly in the face of this matter.

During this period, she kept her eyes on her, for fear that she would suddenly

be unable to think of any impulsive act of self-injury.

After Mother Qu said to be quiet, she went back to the room alone, and Qu Qing

also sat and waited outside worryingly.

She didn't come out until ten hours later. There was a faint smell of smoke in

the air. As soon as she turned on the light in the living room, she was

surprised to see her son sitting in the dark all the time with a cigarette in

his hand.

"You haven't moved, have you, have you eaten dinner?"

When Qu Qing saw her come out, he snuffed out the cigarette and threw it in

the trash: "I'm not hungry, Mom, you'll be fine, I'm going to bed, good

night."

Mother Qu saw the door that was gently closed, and recalled that the moment

she turned on the light, she saw the lonely eyes on her son's face that she

had not had time to take back, and she felt uncomfortable for a while.

My own mother was already irresponsible, and now she has to force her child to

do things she doesn't like, and she feels guilty for a while.

After that day, Mother Qu didn't say anything about letting him go on a blind

date, and then she became curious about Qu Qing's former partner, always

asking what kind of person the boy Qu Qing liked and how he looked like. ,

what you like to eat and how you behave.

Qu Qing was slightly surprised that he would ask these questions, but he was

very happy to tell her everything about Hua Zizhou.

"He has a good personality, doesn't like to talk much, and is a bit clingy. At

home, he's as docile as a little rabbit, but when he goes outside, he's just

as ferocious as a hungry wolf."

Hearing his description, Mother Qu burst into tears with laughter and urged

him to say more.

"Well...I think about it, he is really very good to me. Everyone thinks that I

take good care of him. In fact, most of the time at home, he takes care of me

a lot. It can be said to be connivance. He won't refuse me any unreasonable

request I make to him, it's stupid, right..." Qu Qing said, and smiled

naturally, and after laughing, an indescribable sadness flooded into his

heart, so as to avoid Losing his composure, he quickly suppressed his

emotions.

"He loves candy very much. When we went shopping together, he couldn't walk

when he saw the candy buyer. I thought that he had few opportunities to eat

candy before, so I condoned it. Alas, he ate it bad later. I lost a tooth, and

I screamed that it hurts every day, and I also regretted it to death, I knew I

should take care of it..."

Qu Qing spoke for an afternoon without knowing it, and he didn't even realize

how vivid the expression on his face was when he was talking about Hua Zizhou.

When Mother Qu watched him talk about that person, she always had endless

words to say, and the corners of her mouth showed a bright smile from time to

time. In the past few months, he had never smiled so brightly. At first,

Mother Qu felt that he was mature. Now, he has become a man who has

experienced a lot of things, so naturally he will not laugh so recklessly, but

where did he expect that not laughing just didn't meet the person who could

make him truly happy.

After listening to it all afternoon, she only felt that the other person was

really the most suitable person for her son, so she asked, "Can you bring him

here? I really want to see him."

The smile on Qu Qing's face froze for a moment, and then he got up a little

embarrassedly: "I'm a little uncomfortable, go out and buy some medicine."

After he finished speaking, he went out, closed the door, leaned back against

the door panel weakly, covered his eyes with the back of his hand, and his

voice trembled.

"I want to see him too..."

A wistful sigh diffused in the empty and lonely corridor, and soon disappeared

again.

The author has something to say: Originally this chapter ended, but I always

felt that the paragraphs so far were suitable for the ending, so the ending

was changed to the next chapter, I will write it immediately, and I will

update it later.
