The weather outside was sunny. The blue sky, white clouds, and the sound of birds chirping over the branches could be heard. However, the atmosphere inside the house was lifeless. Gu Yu’s head drooped and his heart was beating violently. Gu Yu began to regret a little bit, just why did he agree with Jiang Rongye this bastard.

“Since when did you started…” Mama Gu’s voice broke the dead atmosphere in the house, with an unusually calm tone of questioning. Gu Yu was panicked, he swallowed his saliva then raised his head. How to answer this, said that it was half an hour ago? This is too ridiculous! This is Jiang Rongye’s fault, why say it as soon as they come up! Are you in such a hurry! Fuck!

“Since last year of college.”

Jiang Rongye’s steady voice came out. When Gu Yu heard that he was stunned, wait, last year of college, three years ago? The gathering that made them reunite indeed seemed to be three years ago. Gu Yu tremblingly swallowed his saliva. Without refuting, he slowly raised his head to see his mother’s expression, and as a result he received a sharp gaze.

“Weren’t the two of you not in the same school? And your aunt Gu, they haven’t moved in yet.”

“We met by chance during the school party, then we got in touch later.”

“But you two are…”

“I like him.”

Gu Yu, who was sitting on the side was trembling as he heard the man next to him said such a sentence in a calm tone. He only felt that his heart was thumping and almost jumped out of his throat. He was not even aware when did his hand was held by Jiang Rongye. The slightly larger palm hold his hand tightly, and the temperature in his hand was transmitted to his heart. But then he immediately realized that they were just acting, just paving the way for Xu Nan, that’s all.

The declaration of love earlier was fake, the one that he likes is not him, it is Xu Nan.

His heart that was beating violently feels like being poured into a pot of cold water, and all of them fell through.

That’s right, they are acting. But this scene is what he should face, so let’s act on it to the end. After this ended, he absolutely have to get away from this mud pool of Jiang Rongye. It was the perfect time to break off all of his wistful thoughts for so many years.

Thinking this way, Gu Yu’s original flinches in front of his parents faded away. He backhanded his five fingers into Jiang Rongye’s fingers and hook it. Looking up at Mother Gu, his gaze has never been firmer. “Mom, Aunt Jiang, I like Ah Ye.” Gu Yu paused, took a deep breath, and continued, “I have liked him since junior high school.”

Even Jiang Rongye cast an unexpected look at him. Gu Yu glanced at Jiang Rongye and took a deep breath, knowing that what he said now was nothing more than a part of the act by that person. Apart from the nervous, he also lost a lot.

Furthermore, is there anything more sorrowful than my confession that sounded as if it was just a line necessary for the drama?

Mother Gu noticed Gu Yu’s expression and paled. As a mother, she knows her son too well. If it is a lie, she will know it at a glance, but right now Gu Yu’s earnest look was not fake at all.

Looking at each of their sons and saw that they were serious, the mothers didn’t know what to say for a moment. They had no choice but to turn their heads to look at each other. They are not philistine and old-fashioned elders. Concerning homosexuality, it was more or less heard in this era of information explosion. The TV has also explained that this aspect is completely innate.

Yet to face their son who had been born for more than 20 years and was suddenly informed that he would be unlikely to get a wife in the future, no matter who it is estimated to be frightened.

“But the two of you are boys, let alone children, you won’t even be able to get married!” Mama Jiang frowned.

“At present, the acceptance rate in society is also increasing, and there are many places abroad that have been legalized homosexual marriage.” Faced with his mother’s doubts, Jiang Rongye quickly refuted it. Choked by her son’s reply, Jiang Mama’s words were blocked and she unable to say anything. Suddenly suppressed, Mother Gu that was on her side quickly pacified.

“The two of you, we will talk about this when your father comes back.”

“Mom, I…”

“Shut up! Come home with me first!”

Gu Yu originally wanted to say a few words. As a result, when he saw Mother Gu’s face full of severeness, the heat that hit his mind finally dissipated. Now after he calmed down and recall what he had just said, his ears couldn’t help but heats up.

I was not careful and confessed just now… and in front of the elders… Although, the other party did not take it seriously at all.

After the two exchanged glances, Mother Gu pulled and dragged his wrist to home in extremely fast speed. Gu Yu didn’t dare to utter a sound or a word along the way and had to silently follow and walked behind his mother.

Gu Yu and Jiang Rongye were neighbors. The two doors were side by side, the distance was no more than a meter. The juniors from both families moved out by themselves as soon as they graduated. These days happened to be Gu Yu’s younger brother’s birthday. The two families were living in the same compound before. Although they were separated for a few years, they met again in the last two years. They realized that this might be destiny, and the relationship got better and better. On the arrival of Gu Yu’s younger brother’s birthday, two people who lived outside were called back, except for Jiang Rongye’s younger sister who was still studying abroad.

“What’s the matter with you dead child? Do you know what you are doing!”

“It hurts, it hurts it hurts it hurts… Mom, don’t pinch my ears, it hurts! Tap gently!”

As soon as the door was closed, Mother Gu’s true temper was released. She immediately changed from grabbing his son’s hand to pinching his son’s ear, tugging and scolding. As a result, she soon saw her son crying in pain. In the end, she didn’t have the heart to get angry. As soon as she let go of her hand, she turned around and walked to the living room then sat on the sofa in a huff.

Gu Yu rubbed his ears and looked cautiously at her mother.

“You come to me.”

When the mother speaks angrily, Gu Yu could only rub his ear, walked quietly and sat cautiously on the side. She turned his head and took a glimpse of his mother who didn’t look at him. Luckily, his stomach suddenly made a ‘gu gu’ sound. Remembering that he only drank a glass of hot water outside, he touched his stomach, then carefully extended his arms to get the apple on the table.

Soon, he could touch the apple, but Mother Gu’s glance sweet away his move. Frightened, Gu Yu immediately withdrew his hand and pretended that nothing happened. Mother Gu saw her son’s look and suddenly don’t know whether to laugh or to cry. But this should not be laughed, this matter severity wasn’t small, certainly can’t be this way. Yet in the end, she loved her son dearly, so she picked up an apple and threw it into Gu Yu’s arms. Her expression was still stiff.

Gu Yu knows his mother too and knows that Mother Gu is not an old-fashioned person. From childhood to adult, he has caused much trouble. It is common sense to be beaten and scolded. Comforted by himself, Gu Yu smiled and picked up the apple and bit it.

“Mom, where did you buy this apple, it’s really delicious, and crunchy!” Gu Yu made ‘kacha kacha’ sound while eating, his eyes curved and smiled to pleased his mother.

“Don’t change the topic! Tell me what is going on with you and Xiaoye?” Mother Gu obviously didn’t take it, her eyebrows raised as she began to ask about the matter.

Gu Yu swallowed the fruit in his mouth and whispered, “Just…just like that.”

“What’s ‘like that’? Ah?”

“It’s dat…dating…”

“Dating?! Both of you are man!”

“It’s possible for man, you can watch TV and it’s said to be possible…”

“Possible my ass! I said why you never mentioned any girl, neither I saw you brought home any girl, as it turned out you…you!”

“Mom, don’t be angry, come and eat an apple to cool down, this apple is really delicious!”

“Eat your head!”

“Apples are better than my head.”

Gu Yu silently put down the apple in his hand and carefully looked at his mother. In the past, he was also asked if he had a girlfriend, but at that time he directly answered he didn’t have it. Gu Yu didn’t expect that his mother would recalled it here, he was rather surprised and guilty at the same time.

He didn’t want to like men either. Since he realized that he liked Jiang Rongye, he felt that he didn’t feel much about girls. Although he didn’t feel much about other boys either, it was still very difficult for him to like a girl. After he consoled himself that he was GAY, he didn’t even think anymore about the girls in the past.

Besides, he would still yearn for Jiang Rongye. This work is translated by Mayrezzz16521.wordpress.com

“Do you really, don’t like girls?” Mother Gu’s voice was a bit tired.

Gu Yu pursed his lips. Although he didn’t want to see his mother’s pained look, he still understood that short, sharp pain is better than the lasting, dull ones(1). Anyway, even if he didn’t comply with Jiang Rongye, he still won’t be able to find a girl. First, he really doesn’t have that feeling, and second, he can’t casually harm the family. It’s so immoral! He can only nod carefully to express that he really did not like girls.

Mother Gu’s face looked desperate this time.

“I’m sorry mom, I also don’t want to. But I really don’t feel it and I can’t help…” Gu Yu hastily dropped half of the apples that already nibbled and wrapped his arms around Mother Gu.

Gu Mom relaxed a little and gave her son a weak look, “You said you and Xiaoye are dating?”

Gu Yu paused slightly and subconsciously intended to shake his head. In the end, he nodded when he thought of the current circumstances and had promised Jiang Rongye. After that he thought about the play, he had to act sufficiently, so he said, “I have loved Ah Ye since junior high school.”

Although she knows that his son didn’t give a hint with his eyes, how can she be so stupid? Mother Gu don’t forget that iron won’t become steel(2). If not for her that had a good tolerance and it was someone else, they would be hit by such a straight ball before she could digest it(3), or they might have fainted.

She took a deep breath and massages her temple, “So you haven’t dated a girl, perhaps you are just a momentarily…”

“Mom, I like him.” Gu Yu said this sincerely. “I really like him. I don’t want to harm other girls. This is unfair to them.” He really liked Jiang Rongye for ten years. It cannot be changed overnight. Even if it is a secret love, or even if the other party does not like him.

Mother Gu looked at her son’s serious look, her mouth opened but she couldn’t say anything. Finally, she sighed and drove Gu Yu away then started thinking alone in the room. How did she raise this kid? Was she ate something wrong when she was pregnant? How did she give birth to this kid?

Gu Yu silently returned to his room, collapsed on the bed then curled up into a ball, his eyes loosen.

In a short period of time, not only he became a pair with Jiang Rongye, although it was fake, he also came out to his parents. After he calmed down, he started to wonder why did it turn this way.

If Jiang Rongye liked Xu Nan, isn’t it okay for him to come out by himself? Why should he be pulled too? It is a pain in the ass! And he actually agreed, he must have a pit in his head! Moreover, this bastard did not discuss with him in advance and came out as soon as they came up. What the hell! Was he so worried that he can’t be with Xu Nan?

The more he thinks, the more Gu Yu get furious. The more he felt that he was pitted, and the more he felt that he was crazy. but things have reached this point, they have come out of the closet, and yet he thinks that it is a dirty trick!

However, he would be unlikely to find a girl, and it would be sooner or later to come out. The difference was just who he came out with. Gu Yu suddenly felt rather sad. When Jiang Rongye and Xu Nan were together, he has to came out again and was alone. Fuck! As expected, his brain must be sick when he promised Jiang Rongye that bastard!

Filled with grief and indignation, Gu Yu sat up in front of the computer and turned it on. He decided to ask the netizens who claimed to be omniscient and omnipotent for help!

The author has something to say:

Gu Yu: Mom, Aunt Jiang, I like Ah Ye…

Jiang Rongye: Good, I know.

Gu Yu: Ha ha ha.

(1) The short, sharp pain is better than the lasting, dull ones : prefer the quick but painful solution.

(2) Comes from a well-known phrase “hate iron for not becoming steel” that means to feel resentful towards sombeody for failing to meet expectations and impatient to see the improvement.

(3) I think it simply means like when someone was forced to accept the sudden fact that is really unexpected the moment they heard it.
