Chapter 42 Happy Birthday
Chapter 42 Happy Birthday
Chen Yejuan hummed, and the smile on her face faded a bit.
He nodded at Ji Bai: "Yes, at noon, Mom and He Chen met."
Ji Bai clenched his fingers and let go, his throat was a little tight, he couldn't help looking at Chen Yejuan, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, did you tell him anything?"
Ji Bai paused, "He... did he tell you anything?"
Chen Yejuan stretched out her hand to flatten the cushions on the sofa, and hummed, "We've been chatting for a long time."
"In the past, Mom always felt that He Chen and us are not from the same world."
Chen Yejuan's voice was calm and she couldn't hear any emotions. She was as gentle and gentle as if nothing had happened before. She looked at Ji Bai and smiled: "After all, you can help your dad solve the family problems casually." The facade, and the person who made the landlord nod and bow to us, must not come from an ordinary family, right?"
Ji Bai hummed lightly, but didn't speak.
Brushing her hair, Chen Yejuan sighed, and said softly, "But today he surprised Mom."
"It was really surprising."
Ji Bai subconsciously wanted to ask what He Chen did, but when the words came to his lips, Chen Yejuan waved his hand, a little tired: "Don't ask me what He Chen did, Mom is not in the mood to talk to you about this right now."
Chen Yejuan looked at Ji Bai with tiredness and doubts in her eyes, she couldn't help asking Ji Bai: "Mom asked someone to understand it today, but I still don't understand."
"You are all good boys, why do you have to come down this path?"
Why did you come down this road?
Ji Bai's Adam's apple rolled, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Fortunately, Chen Yejuan didn't really want to ask for a result. After sighing lightly, she stood up and patted Ji Bai's shoulder, "Mom, go get you a bowl of noodles."
When she was about to reach the kitchen, Chen Yejuan stopped, turned her head and looked at Ji Bai: "Today, He Chen gave mom the contact information of a psychiatrist, and then mom called him."
Ji Bai raised his head, "Is it Qi Ganan?"
"You know him too?" Chen Yejuan hummed, "The voice is quite young, but he speaks professionally and patiently."
Ji Bai nodded, and whispered, "I know him. He is He Chen's friend. I've met him before."
He Chen went to find Chen Yejuan and gave him Qi Ganan's phone number.
And Chen Yejuan's mood almost collapsed from yesterday, and now she can calmly talk about He Chen with him.
Ji Bai's heart was sour, how much did He Chen do behind his back so that they could be together well?
Seeing Ji Bai's emotional change when he mentioned He Chen, Chen Yejuan sighed softly in her heart, looked at Ji Bai and said, "Today, Doctor Qi told me that many people in this society like the same sex."
"Ji Bai, my parents are ordinary people. It's very difficult for you to suddenly ask us to accept something that society has not yet accepted."
Chen Yejuan paused, and asked softly, "Aren't you angry that your parents have locked you at home these two days?"
Ji Bai pursed his lips and shook his head.
"Mom has been thinking before, what kind of girl will you bring back to us when you go to college and work?" Chen Yejuan smiled, "Mom sometimes talks to your dad , we must find a gentle and well-behaved girl, preferably from City A, close to home, and we can help you take care of the children."
"I didn't expect..." Chen Yejuan sighed softly, shook her head, and said after a while of silence: "Dr. Qi told my mother a lot today, and I listened to them all.
"But Ji Bai," Chen Yejuan looked at Ji Bai's face, and tried to whisper softly in a negotiating tone, "You also have to give your parents time to think things through, and give them time to accept this matter."
"You're only 17 years old this year, so there's no telling what's going on. Let's not talk so quickly for the rest of our lives, and don't be so firm that it must be him, okay?"
"Give your parents some time, and your parents will also give you some time." Chen Yejuan patted Ji Bai's shoulder lightly, and said in silence for a while, "Let's think about it again, and think about it, okay?"
------
He Chen got up from the living room and went to the kitchen to get a bottle of water.
When he opened the refrigerator door, he saw that it was full of colorful drinks, He Chen paused for a moment, and suddenly smiled softly.
Ji Bai likes everything sweet.
Cakes, desserts, and drinks.
Although He Chen never touched these things, he still let him fill up the refrigerator with colorful drinks.
According to Ji Bai's words, "When you open it like this, you will feel at home."
Hmm, fireworks.
Usually the house is very lively, when the two come back from evening study, Ji Bai will work around in the kitchen first, cooking a bowl of noodles, steaming an egg, or heating two cups of milk.
After eating something, he would urge him to take a bath again.
Normally at times like this, He Chen would never let go of a good opportunity to tease Ji Bai, that transparent bathroom door...
There were several times when Ji Bai wanted to go in to take a bath, but He Chen deliberately stayed in the bedroom without moving, Ji Bai was anxious and ashamed, his face turned red and he pushed him out.
The more anxious he was, the more He Chen wanted to tease him.
Once Ji Bai was so forced that he couldn't help it, and he didn't care about He Chen, so he went into the bathroom with a blushing face, kept running the water, and waited until the fog covered the entire bathroom door so that he couldn't see clearly, then he hesitated. Slowly started to take a bath.
He Chen shook his head and couldn't help laughing.
silly stuff.
I don't know if it's more likely to cause trouble if it's half-covered and half-revealed?
But in just half a year.
I am used to going home with Ji Bai every day, and I am used to teasing him at home. Seeing him blushing but obediently allowing himself to "bully" him, he calmed down for a while, and He Chen lightly rubbed the hair in his hand. The glass cup, I couldn't help being a little dazed.
The ten years when Ji Bai was unconscious in his previous life.
He also didn't know that the cat at home was transformed from Ji Bai's soul.
How did he live those ten years?
It is clear that the rebirth is only less than a year, why does it seem like a long time has passed, so far away that I can hardly remember it?
Rubbing his sore temples, He Chen put the glass on the coffee table and was about to take a shower. Just when he stood up, the phone that was placed aside vibrated.
A call from He Dongyu.
"I know you won't come back for dinner today, so I didn't call you tonight." He Dongyu said in a deep voice on the phone: "I've gotten used to it after all these years."
He Chen's expression didn't change, he held the phone with his slender fingers, and didn't even open his mouth to speak.
He Dongyu: "But after all, today is different from previous years."
He Dongyu: "Although you have always been not close to me, your surname is He, and you are my grandson, He Dongyu, which can never be changed."
He Dongyu paused, holding the phone, and slowly said: "...Grandpa wishes you a happy birthday."
After hanging up the phone, He Chen walked to the balcony and looked at the tall buildings and thousands of lights outside.
To be honest, if He Dongyu hadn't reminded him, he would have completely forgotten that today is his birthday.
The image of Ji Bai looking at him expectantly that night and asking him what birthday gift he would like appeared in his mind, and He Chen pressed his eyebrows.
I don't know how the children talked with their parents.
If you continue to lose contact like this... He Chen shook his head.
When he sees Ji Bai next time, he must give him a good lesson.
I am getting more and more courageous, and even want to take things like coming out of the closet by myself.
Looking at the state of chatting with Chen Yejuan yesterday... Ji Bai must have been suffering at home, he must have not eaten properly.
He Chen lowered his eyes, what should he teach?It's too light to pinch him... give him a hard spank.
When He Chen's thoughts were racing, Qi Ganan's phone call interrupted his train of thought.
Qi Ganan: As a psychologist and friend, I wish you a happy birthday.
He Chen hummed, without any extra words: "Thank you."
Qi Ganan: "...Ji Bai hasn't come back yet?"
Qi Ganan: "Then don't you celebrate your birthday alone today?"
He Chen: "I asked you to contact his mother, how about it?"
Qi Ganan: "Very good, I can feel that Ji Bai's mother is a very gentle person and very polite."
Qi Ganan: "However... they are all ordinary people. It is quite difficult for them to accept the fact that their son came out of the closet so quickly. I can only say that we should try our best to make them understand, step by step."
He Chen: "Yes."
Qi Ganan: "But to be honest, I heard from Ji Bai's mother that she had mentioned about letting Ji Bai transfer to another school, but Ji Bai refused. She also said that Ji Bai told them that he likes you very much, so he will like you. The love of a lifetime."
Qi Ganan smiled lightly, and said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, Ji Bai is quite brave."
"When I was discovered by my family, I didn't even dare to say a word."
He Chen looked down at a certain point in the air, holding his mobile phone and not speaking.
Qi Ganan: "You have to be a little patient. After all, this is someone else's family matter. It is best to let Ji Bai handle it. You have already done everything you can."
He couldn't help being a little worried, and said: "Have you been taking medicine these two days, do you feel that your mood is not right?"
He Chen curled his lips, sneered, and said flatly, "I can control my own emotions."
Qi Ganan coughed, and resentfully said, "That's right, I shouldn't have asked you."
Qi Ganan: "Okay then, if Ji Bai's mother contacts me again, I'll tell you again, hang up."
After hanging up the phone, He Chen pressed the aching brows.
During the two days that Ji Bai was away, he was really in a bad mood.
Grumpy, gloomy, depressing.
But so what?He Chen half leaned on the sofa, his eyes deep.
During the ten years when Ji Bai was unconscious in his previous life, his mood was much lower every day than now.
Now, he clearly knows that his little friend is fighting against his family for him.
He Chen lowered his eyelids, and the fan-shaped shadows of his eyelashes cast on his deep face. It was clear that there was an aura around him that people dare not approach easily, but if someone was watching at this moment, they would be surprised by the look in his eyes. The tenderness of this moment.
He Chen got up to take a shower.
When I walked to the door of the bathroom, I heard someone knocking on the door.
The sound of knocking on the door was very urgent, so it was particularly obvious on a quiet night like 11:30 in the evening.
He Chen's heart skipped a beat, he took a deep breath, put down the pajamas he was holding, and turned to open the door.
Standing at the door was Ji Bai.
It was clearly near-zero weather, but the boy was panting and sweating profusely.
She looked a bit embarrassed, but her eyes were sparkling and slightly red.
Ji Bai stood at the door, heaved a long sigh of relief after glancing at the time, and took out the things he had been carefully protecting in his arms and opened them.
It's cake.
It's ugly, it looks messy, and it's clumsy.
Panting heavily, Ji Bai handed the cake to He Chen, exhausted, and whispered, "Fortunately, it's not past twelve o'clock..."
He Chen stared at Ji Bai with a pair of pitch-black eyes, his surging emotions were dark and deep, almost able to suck people in.
Ji Bai's eyes fell on the cake in his hand, "I told my mother that you celebrated your birthday, and I begged her for a long time before she let me come."
After a pause, he raised his head and looked at He Chen, Ji Bai squeezed his sweaty palms: "I haven't had time to prepare a better gift, but..."
"Brother, happy birthday."
The author has something to say: He Chen: For the N+1 time, my heart beats for the children.
