In the evening of summer, the bird was squeaking on the tree, and Moxie came out of the library and looked up at the starry night sky, with the cool wind in his ears, and he was in a surprisingly good mood.
This is his last day working in the library. He found a regular internship in a game company last week. The salary is good. Although it is a bit tiring, if he saves it, he will be able to pay for future tuition fees.
Not long ago, Dabai called again and asked to lend him money, but he refused.
Seriously, sometimes he suspects that Da Bai is lying to him. Although he always said that his boyfriend is good or bad, he has never posted even a single photo of his boyfriend in the circle of friends.
However, Moxie asked the people around Dabai that his life was nothing unusual, and he did have dates from time to time. Thinking about it carefully, Dabai has no reason to lie to him, otherwise where would he get so much money.
Mo Xi thought that when he got his first salary, he must buy a gift package for Da Bai and send it back.
Going home at night, Mo Xi turned on his mobile phone and found that the circle of friends was swiped by Fu Yan's wedding. He deleted Pei Hao's WeChat, but the WeChat of Pei Hao's friends still remained.
Accidentally swiped to open a photo, Fu Yan and the bride stood beaming in the middle, the best men led by Pei Hao stood on the left, and the bride's bridesmaids stood on the right. The bride is the beauty that Moxie met at the breakfast shop last time, and wearing a wedding dress is even more stunning.
This is indeed the person Fu Yan likes. The handsome and handsome Fu Yan next to the bride is indeed the person Pei Hao likes.
The next photo is a group photo of the three best men. Pei Hao stood in the middle wearing a capable dark blue suit, his hair was all combed up, making his facial features more angular, and he really looked like a man.
After seeing a few photos, everyone was smiling, only Pei Hao kept his face expressionless from beginning to end.
That's right, that person is usually stern, and when he gets married, he is afraid that he won't be able to laugh anymore.
Moxie liked Brother Shunshoudan's circle of friends, then turned off his phone and didn't think about it any more.
How could he have thought that this would be the most heroic time for Pei Hao in the next few years.
On the other side of Fu Yan's wedding, at the dinner table. The bride changed into a dark fishtail evening dress, showing her beautiful figure. The theme of the dinner was "stars", and the sky above the dinner table was filled with many tiny lights, like a splendid starry sky.
The band next to him was playing the piano music, everyone was waiting on their seats to be served, Brother Dan was sitting next to Pei Hao, playing with his mobile phone all the time. Pei Hao was bored, so he leaned over to take a look, and suddenly saw the WeChat avatar that Xiaoxi had been using.
"Xiao Xi gave you a like?" Pei Hao was envious and stared at the screen with blinking eyes.
Brother Dan glanced at him indifferently, but didn't reply, only to find that his mobile phone had been taken away. Pei Hao held the phone in his hand as if he had grabbed some treasure.
"Okay, your mouth is about to reach your temples."
Brother Dan looked at the man looking at the phone and smiled like an idiot, and said with disgust, "People are giving me a compliment, not you."
After Mo Xi broke up, Brother Dan found that Pei Hao became more and more taciturn. Only when he mentioned topics related to Mo Xi, could he give a smile.
Brother Dan is also very helpless, thinking that he didn't hate Pei Hao less at the beginning, and persuaded him to cherish it, but he didn't, and now he regrets that Baba is useless?
What's more, it's been two years since they broke up. Moxie has a new life long ago, and Pei Hao is still stuck in his memories and can't extricate himself. They also tried to introduce someone to Pei Hao, but he didn't pay attention at all. A boy who was interested in Pei Hao chased him at his house before and was scolded by him directly.
In the past, he was reluctantly regarded as a sunny and beautiful young man, but now he has made himself bitter and hated all day long.
Brother Dan is angry when he thinks about it, and can't help but say something to him: "I found that you are really stubborn, you used to be with Xiaoxi in the past. When we were together, I had to like Fu Yan, but now I'm staring at Mo Xi again."
After hearing this, Pei Hao's laughter froze on his lips, and when he looked up again, his whole body was covered with a layer of sadness, and he looked at the air alone. He said to himself, "Maybe this is retribution."
Brother Dan realized that he had said something wrong, so he put away his poisonous tongue. But looking at Pei Hao's dejected look, he still wanted to persuade him again: "Xiaoxi is doing well in the United States now, don't mess with it, okay?"
"He's not doing well," Pei Hao shook his head and lowered his eyelids , his eyes were lost, "He went to school while working, and he was half-tired every day."
He saw these in Moxie's posts. After Moxi arrived in the United States, he would occasionally post a post to update the current situation. The update reads:
"Sometimes I wonder why I want to go abroad, because it's really tiring to go to school while working! Almost every day I go home and fall asleep, and I'm always worried that I won't be able to pay the tuition for the next semester. "
So before coming to Fu Yan's wedding, Pei Hao asked Da Bai for help again, but this time Moxie would not accept Da Bai's money anyway.
Pei Hao was also upset about this matter these days.He hesitated whether to tell Xiaoxi's sister, but he also understood that Xiaoxi would only hate him even more. But when he thought of Xiaoxi getting up early every day to work in the dark and exhausted for tuition fees, he felt restless.
When he felt helpless, for a few seconds, he wished that Xiaoxi had been with that white man. After all, the two of them are together and take care of them a little bit. Maybe that person can help Xiaoxi relieve a little financial pressure.
But on second thought, if the white man is more scumbag than he was at the beginning, wouldn't Xiaoxi be even more pitiful? And that man is not worthy of Moxie when he looks horizontally and vertically.
After thinking about it, Pei Hao felt that the best way was to chase Xiaoxi back and let him accept his help with peace of mind.
The plane returning home was flying at a constant speed at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Pei Hao was about to fall asleep in a daze, and a certain movie was playing on the screen in front of the seat. The narration was a woman, and the voice was emotionless: Once you When you think the ideal is full, you should be careful, because the reality is often too skinny.
After getting off the plane, Pei Hao found that all his bank cards were locked. Not to mention going to the United States, I don't even have the money to go out for a taxi.
Pei Yixin called a few people to wait for him at the airport. Those people only said they wanted to take him home, and didn't reveal anything else. Pei Hao knew that something must have happened.
The cause of the incident was that a girl had taken a fancy to Pei Hao before. The girl's name is Zhao Yixuan, the daughter of Pei Yixin's friend. Her father is quite successful in the business field, and her mother's family has been a high-level intellectual for three generations, and she is also outstanding. In terms of various conditions, it is quite the right match with Pei Hao.
Zhao Yixuan had met Pei Hao when she was a child, and she had always had a good impression of this outstanding - looking brother.
After she returned from studying abroad, the two families officially tied the knot, and she also abandoned the girl's restraint and took the initiative to attack. Unexpectedly, Pei Hao always ignored him and almost never looked at her.
Zhao Yixuan's life has been smooth sailing. In the past, others have been chasing her and have been rejected. She has never been so embarrassed. In a fit of anger, she asked someone to investigate Pei Hao's love life. It's okay not to check, this check found that Pei Hao had had a boyfriend before.
It turned out to be gay, no wonder she has no interest in women. Zhao Yixuan smiled and sent these photos to Pei Hao's parents, saying sorry, uncle and aunt, your son doesn't like me because he likes men.
It is said that Pei Yixin smashed the antique vase beside him on the spot when he saw those photos, while Song Wanqin was too sad and went directly to the hospital.
As soon as Pei Hao entered the house, Pei Yixin scolded him sharply and told him to kneel. Pei Hao didn't know why, so Pei Yixin picked up a stack of photos and threw them on his face.
Those were all pictures of him and Moxie looking at each other, hugging, kissing. Pei Hao remembered that he put it in a hidden folder on his laptop, but his computer was stolen not long ago. It must have been intentional.
Pei Hao knew that he would come out sooner or later. At first, he wanted to come out of the closet after he became financially independent outside, but Moxie returned to X City, and he had to follow him back to his father's company. He thought that it would be a few more years, and when he had enough say in the company, then the old man would have nothing to do with him.
But man is not as good as the sky, and now he has nothing, so he is passively coming out of the closet. All his plans were thrown into chaos again.
But anyway, the big deal is to be kicked out of the house and start over.
His only hope now is that this incident will not affect Xiaoxi.
Pei Hao looked at the photo, curled his lips, pretended not to care, and said, "These are all photos from a few years ago, and we broke up long ago."
Take your breath away. His dad came out of the army, so it's still under control.
"Then why are you flying to the United States every day?" Pei Yixin yelled at him angrily, "Do you think I can't find out what bad things you did?"
When Pei Hao heard it, the old man had already checked Moxie. Pei Yixin's style of killing is decisive, as long as he is a threat to him, he will never be soft-hearted. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get along well in the business field for so many years.
If he's going to fix Moxie, then Moxie's done.
Pei Hao only felt that his temple was stinging for a while, he knelt down with a "snap", pursed his mouth, and begged: "Dad, don't touch him. I harassed him unilaterally, others hide from me. They all hid in the United States."
"How could I have given birth to a bastard like you?!" Hearing that his son was so shameless, Pei Yixin was so angry that his chest kept heaving and he threw the ashtray next to him, Pei Hao said. It was dizzy for a moment.
Pei Yixin thought he would dodge, but he didn't expect him to kneel there motionless to receive the blow, letting blood flow from his forehead.
"It's me being cheap, it has nothing to do with him." Pei Hao lowered his head dejectedly, blood ran down the side of his face, and the corner of his mouth tasted a hint of blood.
Pei Yixin's gas went away after smashing the ashtray, but after hearing what Pei Hao said, he became even more angry, grabbing the stick at home and beating again.
When Pei Yixin was out of breath, he realized that Pei Hao's mouth had turned white and he was about to faint. Then he quickly called someone to send Pei Hao to the hospital.
It was the first time that Pei Hao had been admitted to the hospital by his father when he was so old. No matter what mistakes he made in the past, the old man's actions were always serious, and his mother was there to stop him. But this time, Pei Yixin seemed to be possessed, he was fighting with all his strength, wishing he could kill him.
If that makes the old man feel a little better, fight it. After all, as a gay, I'm afraid he won't live as they expected in this life.
It might be a good thing to let him go like this. The old man won't be disappointed anymore, Moxie won't be entangled by him again, and he won't have to worry about love every day.
A relief for all.
But he still woke up in a daze, and saw Song Wanqin anxiously guarding in front of the hospital bed.
The first thing Pei Hao said was Mom, I'm sorry.
In this life, he was most sorry for the three people, Xiaoxi, the old man, and his mother. It just so happens that they are the ones who love him the most.
When Song Wanqin heard this, she turned her face away with tears in her eyes.
"It's me who is unfilial." Pei Hao slowly got up from the bed, his body was sore, and he sat on the head of the bed.
Song Wanqin turned her head slowly, wiped away her tears, and said, "Don't think so, it can be changed."
"It can't be changed, it's natural."
Song Wanqin covered her eyes, and a stream of tears flowed silently.
When the nurse came in, she saw both mother and son with red eyes, and the air in the ward was quiet.
"Auntie, don't be sad," the nurse comforted. "Your son's injury is not fatal, and he can be well in the hospital."
Song Wanqin nodded with a wry smile.
"Come to the patient, take the temperature."
After the nurse left, Song Wanqin calmed down and took out the bone soup she had cooked for her son.
Pei Hao wanted to drink by himself, but when he raised his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched in pain.
Song Wanqin's face darkened instantly, and she rebuked bitterly, "He's too hard!"
She just woke up from the hospital that day when she heard that Pei Hao was beaten into the hospital by his father. The inspection report came out, and the whole body was injured. The son on the hospital bed had fallen asleep, half of his face was covered in blood, and his lips were purple.
How could anyone beat their son like that? It's not an enemy!
She lost her temper that day and quarreled with Pei Yixin. Until today, Pei Yixin took the initiative to show her favor and ignored her.
"Mom," Pei Hao said tentatively, still thinking about Mo Xi, "what will Dad do to the boy in the photo?"
"You really still think about it? Is it Mo Xi?" Song Wanqin thought thoughtfully, Squinting his eyes, he asked him, "He was the one who took the initiative to chase you?"
"No, I was the one who took the initiative to chase him. I'll tease him first." Pei Hao's heart skipped a beat. If they knew that it was Mo Xi who took the initiative, it would be fine?
In their eyes, Moxie is the culprit of everything.
"When did you find out that you like... men..." Song Wanqin wanted to ask him when he found out that he liked boys, but she couldn't say anything. After all, I still can't accept that my son is gay.
"Junior high school."
Song Wanqin frowned and closed her eyes as if she had been stabbed by something.
After a short silence, she said, "what your dad said will depend on your performance."
The meaning is very obvious, that is, to threaten Moxie and restrict his actions. In other words, if he doesn't obey, Moxie's side will suffer.
Although his dad can't reach the sky with only one hand, it's totally okay to make a little stumbling on Moxie's side to make his life harder.
"As long as Dad doesn't move him, I can do anything except marry." Pei Hao lowered his head and sighed heavily.
He knows that now he has no right to choose, and he has no money or status without the company, just like a waste. The old man is angry now. As long as he doesn't touch Moxie, he can slowly find opportunities for other things in the future.
This is a slowdown.
"You take good care of your injuries, I'll tell you from your father's side." Song Wanqin blew the soup from the spoon and gently fed it to Pei Hao's mouth.
Seeing that Pei Hao swallowed it, Song Wanqin added: "Also, you are not allowed to go to the United States this year."
"Okay."
