Chapter 1501 - 1503

Zhao Xuran didn’t participate the whole time; he quietly prepared food in the kitchen.

But did he really not know? He was just trying to calm his emotions.

"Really a troublesome kid."

"Sigh." Zhao Xuran was truly grateful for the sudden thought that came to him in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, he would just sleep without a care, and when he woke up, all he would see would be an empty place.

At that time, how would he find them?

"It looks like someone must have advised him." Zhao Xuran didn’t think Wan Yihui would have that thought.

Maybe this troublemaker had those kinds of ideas, but he wouldn’t do something so excessive.

It’s essential to catch this guy, or else there will be no peace ever.

Gong Ruzhi acted quickly and promptly pulled out the luggage that Wan Yihui had already packed.

"There are no clothes of Xiao Hui’s from earlier in the closet." Gong Ruzhi tried hard to calm his emotions, but he really couldn’t hold it in.

Gong Ruini pretended not to hear the hint of choking in Gong Ruzhi’s voice; some things you only realize through personal experience, knowing the harshness of reality.

Discovered, discovered, at this moment the only thought in Wan Yihui’s mind.

But soon he also let out a sigh of relief, "It’s a foreigner; I’ve seen him before."

"He knows Brother Guangran."

"Then I met him again this time; he said he likes me and even touched me."

Gong Ruini didn’t expect that after these things were pulled out, Wan Yihui would honestly tell the truth; it was surprising how quickly he spoke.

This made Gong Ruini breathe a sigh of relief; at least willing to cooperate a bit, better than continuing to be stubborn.

"Him? A man?" After putting the freshly cooked small wontons into bowls, Zhao Xuran called everyone to eat and incidentally asked a critical question.

Oh my god, Gong Ruini hadn’t noticed this point earlier: A man said he likes Wan Yihui?

Wow, Gong Ruini covered her mouth in surprise; she wasn’t discriminating against any groups, but she really couldn’t imagine that Wan Yihui would encounter such a situation.

From childhood to now, she had never thought that he would actually like a man; didn’t Wan Yihui like girls?

"Well, actually, the reason I fought with my mom was because I told her I don’t like girls." Wan Yihui didn’t want to say.

Back then, he trusted his mother so much, telling her in hopes of gaining her support, but what awaited him was a hellish treatment.

Heavens, no way. Gong Ruini was shocked.

Zhao Xuran’s eyes widened. He’d always wondered why Wan Qiweng said what she did; if this really were the case, then it all fits.

Crash, Gong Ruzhi was shocked, then his spoon fell and shattered on the dining table without surprise.

Gong Ruzhi had grown up experiencing quite a few things, but nothing ever made him feel as shocked as what Wan Yihui just said.

How could it be, how could it be, how could it be like this; his good buddy actually likes men? Heaven, Gong Ruzhi really felt like throwing up.

He couldn’t throw up; Gong Ruzhi knew that if he did, there would be no turning back for some things.

"Have you thought it through?" Gong Ruini was the first to speak after recovering from the huge shock.

Although she didn’t know why Wan Yihui liked the same sex, it was his choice, "You need to know the road ahead will be tough."

"The contemptuous eyes of family, friends, and the outside world." Even though later generations may enjoy rights like marriage, most still hold colored views towards homosexuality.

"Sis." Although Gong Ruzhi was still struggling to accept his brother’s choice, he felt his sister’s frankness was a bit too much.

Gong Ruini shot him a look, "What we’re discussing now is excessive?"

"Not excessive." After all the cold treatment from his own mom, Wan Yihui felt Gong Ruini’s words were infinitely warmer.

"Can you stick it out?" Zhao Xuran sighed softly despite his disagreement, seeing Wan Yihui’s shrinking posture.

No matter how rebellious he was, he couldn’t hide the fact that he was just a child; if they didn’t understand, didn’t offer any compassion, it might drive him to the edge.

Even if they lock him at home, could that really stop him?

It’s useless; it might make Wan Yihui feel that he shouldn’t exist, and then a desperate leap from a building could happen.

Though Zhao Xuran had never interacted with such groups, he knew that it certainly wasn’t just Wan Yihui.

"I, I don’t know." Wan Yihui said blankly, "I just know I hate contact with women."

"And every time classmates discuss girls, I just don’t want to talk much."

"Ah." Gong Ruzhi exclaimed; occasionally when they went out with friends, as boys do when grown up, they’d discuss girls, but Wan Yihui never seemed interested.

"I thought you were just shy." Gong Ruzhi had never thought too much about it; if he’d cared for his good buddy more, would things have been different?

"I didn’t want to talk much." Wan Yihui whispered, "Sorry, Brother Xiao Zhi, I know I should have told you sooner, but I felt I really couldn’t."

"Sorry, I didn’t want to see your disdainful gaze." Wan Yihui nervously voiced his worries, "I didn’t want you to think I’m a monster."

"I didn’t want you to ignore me."

"Then why not keep pretending?" Gong Ruzhi said unhappily.

"If you’re worried, then you should keep pretending." In Gong Ruzhi’s eyes, this was a lack of trust, feeling he as a brother would act like ordinary folks.

"So... does this mean they’re against it?" Otherwise, why say just keep pretending.

His trusted mom is against it; his good buddy is against it; why should he want to live anymore?

Just like his mom said, he truly is a disaster to be alive; he shouldn’t exist, he’s a shame to the Wan Family.

Wan Yihui in this moment is truly devastated, feeling there’s no place for him under this vast sky.

"But aren’t we good friends?"

"Shouldn’t you tell me if something’s wrong?"

The more Gong Ruzhi spoke, the angrier he became, "I’ve told you who I once liked."

"But you, such a big issue, never told me."

"Hmph, if you keep hiding such major things from me, let’s see if I still bother with you."

It felt like a roller coaster ride, as Wan Yihui was struck by the pain from Gong Ruzhi’s shoulder taps.

In the past, he’d complain because they really hurt, but now he was delighted, whenever Xiao Zhi was upset, he kept hitting his shoulders like this.

"Xiao Zhi, you really don’t think I’m a monster." With a cry, he rushed into Gong Ruzhi’s embrace.

"Monster? What?"

"My good brother is so great, how could you be a monster, silly kid." Gong Ruzhi kept patting Wan Yihui’s back, calling him all kinds of foolish.

Actually, at this moment, Gong Ruzhi’s face was in quite a state of disarray, clearly snot and tears flying everywhere.
