WSIDIILMBOCIR Chapter 61
by VolareQin Yuanging originally wanted to mentally prepare himself adequately before coming clean to his family, but he didn’t expect the day to arrive so quickly.
On the very night that the Miaofeng Mountain outing concluded, Li Chongge dropped Qin Yuanging off at the entrance of the Qin family villa.
Qin Yuanging insisted on a theatrical farewell kiss. Although, according to the original plan, Qin Yuanging would move back to the twenty-first floor tomorrow, two people in the throes of love naturally wouldn’t pass up any opportunity to kiss.
If Qin Yuanging hadn’t suddenly opened his eyes mid-kiss and stared directly at Qin Haoting, who had just come out for an evening stroll, Qin Yuanging’s vacation would have ended perfectly.
“I’ll go with you.”
It was rare for Li Chongge to feel this unsure, but no matter what, he didn’t want Qin Yuanging to face his family alone.
“No, let me go by myself.” Qin Yuanging pressed on Li Chongge’s shoulder. “If you’re there, some things will be difficult to say.”
Qin Yuanging got out of the car. Li Chongge followed behind him, greeted Qin Haoting, and then left.
“Dad, going for a walk? I’ll join you?”
Qin Haoting had always played the role of a loving father in Qin Yuanging’s life, and it was rare for him to be so serious. His overly furrowed brows made Qin Yuanging feel a little flustered.
Qin Haoting wasn’t young anymore. Even though he was generally in good health, the occasional strands of white hair reminded Qin Yuanging that the omnipotent father in his memory was growing old.
“You said before that you have someone you like. Is it Li Chongge?”
Qin Haoting hadn’t anticipated that his son would like a man.
After all, the night before, he and his wife were lying in bed, dreaming of holding a grandson as soon as possible, but tonight, this beautiful fantasy was personally destroyed by Qin Yuanging.
“Yes, I’ve liked him for a long time.”
Qin Haoting didn’t know whether to be gratified by his son’s honesty or to reprimand him for his shocking behavior.
Actually, saying it was shocking was a bit of an exaggeration. Qin Haoting had been in the business world for decades and had seen a lot of things. He was no longer surprised by some things, but he didn’t expect that one day Qin Yuanging would become one of them.
What’s more, that person was Li Chongge.
“What if I disagree?”
Qin Yuanging stopped and looked at Qin Haoting very seriously.
“Love isn’t my everything. If you disagree, I won’t say that I don’t want you and Mom, that I don’t want this family, just to be with Li Chongge. But Dad, I will never fall in love with anyone else in my life, and I won’t lie to a woman and marry her just to have a child, so the end result will only be that I’m alone.”
Qin Yuanging didn’t want to force Qin Haoting to compromise. He was just stating a fact.
A fact about what his life would be like without Li Chongge.
Qin Yuanging’s life was still very long, and he couldn’t guarantee many things in the future, but when it came to loving Li Chongge, Qin Yuanging was sure that this was something he could persist in for the rest of his life.
Qin Haoting was silent for a long time.
Qin Yuanging was very stubborn. When he was a child, he could go without eating for two meals to avoid eating carrots he didn’t like. When he was older, to avoid learning the piano, he could tirelessly pretend to be sick every time.
But as Qin Haoting recounted Qin Yuanging’s stubborn deeds, he also realized that Qin Yuanging had really grown up.
He could have things he liked and things he hated. He already had enough understanding to make choices for his own future.
As a father, Qin Haoting could advise and intervene appropriately, but he couldn’t directly decide for him.
This conversation didn’t last long, because Qin Haoting needed some time to accept the fact that his son liked men.
For the sake of Yu Keci’s emotions, the father and son tacitly entered the house together, not mentioning what had just happened.
Qin Yuanging returned to his room, put down his suitcase, and started calling Li Chongge.
The phone was answered almost instantly.
“How did your father… react?”
Qin Yuanging replied in a relatively relaxed tone: “It hasn’t reached that point yet. He said he needs to think about it, but fortunately, he didn’t say he wanted to sever our father-son relationship, nor did he slap me and tell me to get lost.”
“But he won’t let me move out…”
Qin Yuanging sighed regretfully. He should have been more unrestrained at the hotel.
“There’s no rush. I can wait.”
Finally getting Qin Yuanging’s call, Li Chongge drove away from the outdoor parking lot of a park one kilometer away from the Qin family villa.
He couldn’t bring himself to leave Qin Yuanging alone to face his father, even if it was his own father.
After Qin Yuanging’s feelings were unexpectedly exposed, Qin Haoting began to fully control him. For example, they had to go to and from work together, lunch could only last one hour before he had to return to the office, and even on weekends, Qin Yuanging was forced to only participate in family group activities and couldn’t go anywhere else.
Before Qin Haoting figured things out, Qin Yuanging was deprived of the possibility of meeting with Li Chongge alone.
As for why Qin Haoting suddenly used such tough measures, it was nothing more than being greatly frightened after doing his homework on same-sex couples.
Qin Haoting, over fifty years old, actually had the worry of raising a daughter.
This led to Qin Yuanging and Li Chongge not having seen each other for more than ten days.
Every time Qin Yuanging videoed with Li Chongge, his eyes were shining with green light.
On the first day that Qin Haoting had to go on a business trip for a period of time, Qin Yuanging finally found a chance to sneak out.
Actually, he didn’t need to be sneaky, because Qin Yuanging had been staying at home for too long, which had caused Yu Keci’s concern. She was preparing to talk to Qin Yuanging and ask him if he had had a conflict with his friends. Seeing him finally willing to go out, she couldn’t be happier.
On Saturday morning, after seeing Qin Haoting off, Qin Yuanging stepped on the accelerator and drove to Li Chongge’s place, and unceremoniously unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
After wandering around each room, Qin Yuanging confirmed that Li Chongge wasn’t home.
So Qin Yuanging reluctantly took out his phone and called him.
“Where are you?”
Li Chongge paused and said, “Near your house. I wanted to come over and see you.”
How could Qin Yuanging be the only one with eyes shining with green light?
Qin Yuanging: “…”
Even if there was no traffic jam on a weekend morning, it was already ten thirty when Li Chongge returned to his residence.
Qin Yuanging was carefully trimming the flower branches, inserting them into the vase little by little.
“What should I do? I can’t send you a bouquet of flowers every month. As long as I see flowers, I want to buy them for you.”
What came into Li Chongge’s dull and boring life was more than just a bunch of colorful flowers.
Li Chongge put his arms around him from behind, intimately touching his back neck little by little along his ears. The suppressed longing of these days poured out. Since the two of them had been together, Li Chongge’s tolerance had been greatly reduced. In a few more days, he was afraid that he would really couldn’t help but visit him directly.
