, he said: "There are a lot of places that are slowly accepting same-sex legal marriage, and I..."
Fu Xueru couldn't take it anymore, she stood up and said, "You come back with me now."
"Where are you going?"
"America." Fu Xueru said coldly.
"Hello, is there anything I need here?" Although they were restrained enough, they still caused some minor disturbances, and the waiter asked cautiously from a distance.
Zhou Yi also stood up and said, "It's okay, I'm sorry. Auntie, please calm down first."
If it was possible, Fu Xueru really wanted to leave like this, she panicked, this was the most serious thing she ever said to Zhuang Yao.Speaking out, Zhuang Yao felt uncomfortable, and she also felt uncomfortable.However, the instigator happened to be still in front of her. The other party looked tall and handsome, and her speech and etiquette were in place. If she was not calm, she would lose a bit.
Zhuang Yao's eyes were slightly red, he knew that Fu Xueru would not accept it optimistically, but Zhuang Yao didn't expect that Fu Xueru would let him go back to the United States with her.It is impossible for him to return to the United States, and he promised Zhou Yi that he would never leave him again.
"Xiaoyao." Zhou Yi waited for Fu Xueru to sit down again, and said to Zhuang Yao, "Is there a cake shop next door and there is a queue? Can you go and buy a cake you want? Let me talk to your mother alone Say something."
Zhuang Yao wanted to say no, but Zhou Yi exerted some strength on his shoulders, and Fu Xueru also said, "Go, I also want to have a word with Zhou Yi."
Zhou Yi pretended to be relaxed and said: "Go, you are still afraid that I will quarrel with Auntie."
Zhuang Yao thought to himself, I'm really scared, but he glanced at Fu Xueru quietly, her face looks a little better now.
"Then I'll be back soon." Zhuang Yao said.
Zhou Yi kept looking at him, and Zhuang Yao walked out of the cafe, turning around and waving at him uneasy.Zhou Yi may not have noticed the way he looked at Zhuang Yao, but Fu Xueru who was sitting opposite him saw it.
Even a blind person can feel that lingering, loving look in his eyes.
Zhou Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at Fu Xueru seriously. Fu Xueru looked back at him with her arms folded.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Auntie, let me introduce myself again. My name is Zhou Yi, and I have opened a game company with my friend, and it is developing well. You see, take a stop there and get off. The company's office building is there. Zhuang Yao... Zhuang Yao is working in our company now."
Fu Xueru raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Announce that you are not short of money?"
Zhou Yi laughed and said, "I'm not short of money, but..."
"Do you think Zhuang Yao is short of money?" Fu Xueru said casually, "Maybe I can't earn as much as you, but my son doesn't have to worry about making a living in this life."
Zhou Yi took a deep breath and said, "Auntie, you have too much prejudice against me. It's easy to misinterpret a person, but I think what we need is understanding."
Fu Xueru looked at him and said nothing, Zhou Yi continued: "I want to show that I can give Zhuang Yao a stable and superior life materially, only more than you, so please rest assured."
"I came out to my family when I was in college, so you don't have to worry about that."
"After Zhuang Yao left, I haven't dated anyone else, so don't worry about my private life."
"I love him, maybe a little more than you think. I'm not a teenager, I'm a responsible adult, I know what I'm doing and I know what I'm talking about, so… ...Could you please at least give me a chance?"
Fu Xueru listened to him in silence, finally there was something other than anger in her eyes.

"You're so smart." Fu Xueru sighed after taking a sip of water.
"Xiaoyao himself is different from us..." Fu Xueru seemed to recall something, "This is part of my responsibility, even a big responsibility. So I just want to make him happy and let him be himself favorite things."
"I know, he told me everything... If it really counts, I'm also partly responsible for it." Zhou Yi said.
"Don't think that way, you were too young at that time, it's not your fault." Fu Xueru shook her head.
"I have lived abroad for a long time, and it's not that I haven't met people who like the same sex. But even in the more open United States, the legalization of same-sex marriage does not mean that the whole society can eliminate prejudice. You will meet people who support you, and you There will be blank stares and insults. Support will always be a small minority, but prejudice will always be the norm." She said.
Zhou Yi heard something, and he said, "Auntie, you wish Zhuang Yao to be happy, and this is my wish too."
"En." Fu Xueru nodded, and said helplessly, "I know you are very happy now, but what about the future?"
She looked into Zhou Yi's eyes and said unhurriedly: "Have you thought about it? Your career will get better and better in the future. As a person who will be exposed to the public eye, how do you plan to introduce Zhuang Yao to others? Do you want to get married? What if you fall in love with someone else in the future? Even if you are heterosexual, the danger of love always exists, let alone two men together. My son... Zhuang Yao... is very fragile, more than Ordinary people are more fragile and sensitive, and my selfishness is not to let him face these unknown variables."
"Can you guarantee that you will always make him happy?" Fu Xueru smiled, this time she finally let go of her guard.
"I..." Zhou Yi was stunned.
"You can't." Fu Xueru said.
Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said: "No one in this world can make such a guarantee. 'In order to avoid the end, you avoided the beginning of everything.' This flower hasn't started to plant yet, auntie, you can't say that it will wither. "
Fu Xueru shrugged and said with a smile: "But without flowers, Zhuang Yao can have many other things, at least he won't be hurt."
Zhou Yi was so shocked by her thoughts that he couldn't speak, but he could understand Fu Xueru, because if he loved someone too much, he really didn't want him to experience a little bit of discomfort and pain.For this reason, she wanted to uproot directly.
After buying Zhuang Yao's cake, Zhou Yi and Fu Xueru were talking about something else, about Zhou Yi starting a business in his senior year.
"Have you bought it?" Zhou Yi smiled at him.
"I bought it." Zhuang Yao said, "Mom, I bought one for you too."
Fu Xueru took the cake, and said incomprehensibly, "It looks very ordinary, so you have to queue up?"
"It's an online celebrity shop." Zhuang Yao said with a smile.
He didn't know what Zhou Yi and Fu Xueru talked about, but he could miraculously feel a deeper silence between them.The three of them had their own thoughts, and after chatting for a while, Fu Xueru said that he was going back.
"It's getting late, I'm staying at your auntie's house." Fu Xueru said, "What about you?"
Zhuang Yao suddenly remembered what he told her about renting a house outside, but in fact he moved into Zhou Yi's house.
"I..." Zhuang Yao faltered, not knowing how to answer.
"When you grow up, I don't care about you anymore." Fu Xueru looked helplessly at Zhuang Yao who looked embarrassed, and suddenly realized something, waved to them, and sighed in her heart, "Your son is too big to stay".
When returning home, Zhuang Yao asked Zhou Yi what he and his mother were talking about, and Zhou Yi just said, "It's nothing, let's talk nonsense, let's get to know each other."
"I don't believe it, tell me quickly."
Zhou Yi sighed, rubbed Zhuang Yao's head, and said, "It's really nothing, everyone needs a process of understanding. Honey, you came out of the closet so suddenly, I'm afraid that your mother will accept it all at once. No, we can take our time."
Zhuang Yao said sullenly: "Really? But I don't want to say that you are my ordinary friend, not at all, it's very important, I don't want to lie."
Zhou Yi stopped talking, hugged Zhuang Yao and kissed him. They went to bed early that night, but Zhuang Yao felt that Zhou Yi was a little insomnia.
Xu Ze called Zhuang Yao every few days: "Zhuang Yao, your mother is so beautiful."
Zhuang Yao smiled and said, "Thank you."
Xu Ze: "Also, I'm sorry, my mother is too gossip. Now our whole family knows about you and Zhou Yi, and it is said that she almost came out in the street? Tsk tsk tsk, warrior."
Zhuang Yao broke down and said: "...Isn't it?! Your whole family knows?"
"Oh, they haven't seen each other for a long time. As soon as they met, they started chatting. Your mother said everything while chatting, and my mother was shocked." Xu Ze said.
Zhuang Yao: "..." Mom, your mouth is too loose.
"By the way." Xu Ze said again, "You came out successfully? I don't think your mother's reaction is really big. Have you accepted Zhou Yi yet?"
Zhuang Yao said with a headache: "I probably didn't accept it. Of course I didn't. This is just the calm before the storm."
Xu Ze said: "Hey, don't worry, come over for dinner tonight and call Zhou Yi again."
The evening meal was also held in a confusing and awkward atmosphere. Fu Xueru didn't say anything, and was quite enthusiastic towards Zhou Yi, while Chang Yuan looked at Zhuang Yao with a "daughter returning to her natal home"...
Zhou Yi: "..."
Zhuang Yao: "..."
When the two of them went downstairs after dinner, Zhuang Yao finally couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Zhou Yi, what's the matter with you recently? Why have you been in a low mood?"
Zhou Yi said, "Nothing."
"You lied." Zhuang Yao frowned, "Is it because of my mother? What did you guys say that day?"
He felt a little uneasy, he could actually guess the part that Zhou Yi didn't want to tell him, but Zhou Yi didn't tell him, and he couldn't calm down all the time.Zhou Yi looked at him, knowing that
