Jiang Song seemed to be unaware of the situation, holding Jiang Nianyu and sitting under the shade of a tree, talking gently.
Shi Yun had read the first two entries and had a general understanding of the netizens’ malicious comments.
Actually, being gay wasn’t a big deal, the main point was that Jiang Song’s love interest, Chen Yu, was married and had publicly stated that he loved his wife.
Involving a moral red line, netizens didn’t care whether you were a white moonlight male god or not, and went up to scold and berate him.
[Lifelong Love Jiang Song: I’ve been a fan of Jiang Song for so many years, I feel like I’m dirty.]
[Little Squirrel is Super Cute: You’ve really let down my sincerity.
It would have been fine if you announced an outsider girlfriend, but how could you like men, it’s disgusting!]
[Txl is Best Extinct: I hope Jiang Song dies soon. This kind of person shouldn’t appear in the circle, polluting the air!]
Shi Yun clicked on the entry of ‘Chen Yu’ with a complicated mood, and what caught his eye was a black and white photo.
The person in the photo had a sunny smile, and his eyes were round and bright, and he looked like an extremely lively person.
But it was such a person who ended up committing suicide due to depression.
Shi Yun carefully looked at Chen Yu’s eyebrows, and suddenly felt that they were a bit similar to Jiang Nianyu’s.
On the day before the baby variety show started broadcasting, he had seen a comment saying,
“Nianyu and Jiang Song don’t look alike, does she take after her mother?”
As everyone knows, men and men cannot have children.
If Jiang Nianyu was not Jiang Song’s biological child, then it was very likely that—
But if so, Jiang Song and Chen Yu were a couple, so why would Chen Yu get married?
Was there any secret that everyone didn’t know about?
Shi Yun had never come into contact with this kind of thing, and racked his brains but couldn’t figure it out.
Ani leaned next to Shi Yun and whispered:
“This matter was just revealed by a paparazzi called ‘Brother Gua’.
Our variety show is trending very well today, and the team didn’t even have time to do anything before it was quickly captured by netizens and discussed extensively.”
After saying this, Ani muttered unhappily:
“Same-s*x marriage has been legal for so long, but they’re still scolding others for their sexual orientation, it’s really…”
Shi Yun touched a knowledge blind spot: “Same-s*x marriage is legal?”
“Yes, it was two months ago. At that time, the Internet was polarized and caused a lot of noise. Don’t you know?!”
Shi Yun shook his head: “Two months ago, I was preparing to participate in the debate competition and exams, and I didn’t have time to understand these things.”
Even if he understood, although he respected it, he still didn’t understand.
How could two big and burly men fall in love?
He had seen many young couples at school walking sweetly on the playground, feeding each other in the cafeteria, and kissing in empty classrooms.
…Would men and men in love also do such things?
Shi Yun imagined that scene and shuddered, waking up.
No, it’s a bit scary.
He took a deep breath and was about to continue reading Wei Tie when An Huaixu approached and asked casually,
“What are you reading?”
“Read, read…”
Shi Yun noticed that An Huaixu was leaning towards him, and suddenly recalled the warmth of An Huaixu’s hand on his forehead that day.
He looked at An Huaixu’s profile, sometimes wondering why An Huaixu did that at that time, and sometimes strangely thinking—
Although the two used the same laundry detergent, why did An Huaixu smell so good, and strangely caused his heart to skip a beat, and his face was also dyed with heat.
Shi Yun looked up at the sun and silently concluded that it must be too sunny…
After Shi Yun thought about it, he turned his attention to the main business, and read out the more important comments:
“They read that Teacher Jiang shouldn’t like married men… It’s disgusting for men and men to be in love…”
An Huaixu chuckled: “Lives by the sea.”
Ani silently covered her mouth and screamed next to her.
Hearing An Huaixu’s statement, she instantly felt happy and couldn’t help but echo:
“It’s not certain whether things are true or not, but it’s too early to read these things now!!”
An Huaixu turned to Shi Yun, whose thoughts were obviously drifting away, and asked, “What do you think?”
Shi Yun subconsciously replied: “With eyes…”
An Huaixu coughed, and Shi Yun woke up and seriously thought about this question.
Men and men in love this kind of thing…
If it were put on himself—
If the other party was responsible, liked children, was handsome, had eight-pack abs, would eat seven-minute cooked eggs with him in the morning, understood each other’s little thoughts, had many topics to talk about, and helped each other to live their lives in the future, then… maybe it’s not impossible.
As Shi Yun thought about it, various figures of An Huaixu suddenly appeared in his mind—playing the children’s piano, lecturing, cooking, farming, coaxing children, and—pulling up his clothes to wipe sweat, revealing his abs.
He……
Wait,
Shi Yun stopped his messy thoughts and carefully considered his reply: “I think love can take many forms.
I don’t think the issue right now is about same-s*x relationships — what matters more is what kind of person they are.”
“Yes, that’s the baseline for everyone, so—”
“So what?”
Jiang Song was holding Jiang Nianyu, and seemed to be curiously looking around at everyone.
Unfortunately, Ani shut up the moment she saw him, and the three of them turned to look at him in a very synchronized manner.
Jiang Song was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on:
“What’s wrong, why are you all looking at me like this? Is there cake on my face?”
None of the three answered him, and the scene was a bit awkward for a while.
Shi Yun didn’t want to hide it from Jiang Song, after all, he would know about it sooner or later.
He used his eyes to inquire about An Huaixu and Ani, and after getting their approval, he handed the phone to Jiang Song.
Jiang Song took it suspiciously, and at the moment he lowered his head, he suddenly met a black and white photo of a man, and he stayed where he was, his expression solemn.
Jiang Nianyu was still young and couldn’t quite distinguish adults’ emotions.
She only knew that seeing familiar people was a very happy thing: “Little Daddy!”
Shi Yun touched Jiang Nianyu’s head and coaxed softly, “Nianyu be good, shall Teacher take you to play with Shuxi?”
Jiang Nianyu hmmmed, came down from Jiang Song’s arms, and walked away with Shi Yun.
An Huaixu was sucking on a lollipop, and seeing that Jiang Song didn’t react, he quickly lost interest, chuckled, and was about to leave with Shi Yun.
Jiang Song opened his mouth at this time: “There’s no such thing as a couple, they never liked me, it’s just my wishful thinking.”
His voice was mixed with bitterness and remembrance: “I thought Chen Yu had been forgotten by everyone.”
After saying that, he turned his head and looked in the direction where Shi Yun left:
“How is it, doesn’t Chen Yu look a bit like Shi Yun, especially when he smiles?”
Hearing this, An Huaixu frowned deeply, seemingly understanding where Jiang Song’s discomforting feeling came from—he was looking at others through Shi Yun.
Jiang Song didn’t care if anyone paid attention to him and continued:
“From the first glance I saw Shi Yun, I thought so. If Chen Yu was still alive, he would definitely—”
An Huaixu turned cold, even though he used to dislike Jiang Song very much, he had never said anything harsh, but today he finally couldn’t help it and interrupted him:
“He treats you as a true friend, and you treat him like this?
If you’re sick, go get treatment, don’t do this substitute nonsense here.”
Although he used to suspect Shi Yun, he never thought about any substitutes.
The more angry he got, the happier Jiang Song got: “Admit it, you care about Shi Yun more than you think, just like I cared about Chen Yu back then.”
He handed the phone back to Ani, smiled lowly and walked two steps towards An Huaixu, taunting,
“You only dare to do this in private, what’s stopping you from going to him and telling him clearly in person.”
An Huaixu didn’t expect him to see himself and Shi Yun like this, and was immediately angered.
He grabbed his collar with one hand and said fiercely, “Do you think everyone has thoughts as dirty as you?”
Jiang Song said happily: “I am dirty. If you see the person you love die in front of you, and you are powerless, and you didn’t even have time to tell him your feelings, you will definitely be more dirty than me.”
An Huaixu looked at Jiang Song’s reddened eyes, paused, slowly let go, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
Jiang Song sighed and advised tiredly: “I hope you see yourself clearly as soon as possible, don’t be like me, waiting for people to get married before realizing your feelings.
I want to silently protect him, but I don’t even have the position…
An Huaixu, I can’t see through you, I want to advise you—think clearly, don’t become a coward like me.”
An Huaixu: “It won’t happen.”
With this sentence, he completely suppressed the strange emotions in his heart.
Shi Yun was his younger brother, he used to be, and he would be even more so in the future.
Even if he couldn’t remember him, and didn’t want to return to his original family, and just got married and had children, he would always protect him.
The heat is still fermenting.
For the afternoon’s mission, Jiang Song and Jiang Nianyu didn’t come.
Shi Yun was afraid that An Huaixu wouldn’t be able to handle taking care of the children and doing the mission at the same time, so he became a temporary teacher for the small class.
Today they were going to Li Zhiqing’s house to help Zhiqing’s mother complete the task of herding cattle.
An Huaixu and Shi Yun had a good understanding.
One was leading the cow in front, and the other was playing with the children in the back, organizing the children to learn about ‘cow’ knowledge.
Perhaps the crew felt guilty, this mission was set up to be very simple, and they spent most of their time playing games in open spaces.
Shi Yun was tired from playing, sat on a stone, and looked up at the sky.
He was a bit worried about Jiang Song.
An Huaixu noticed his emotions, handed the cow over to Li Zhiqing, and walked over to sit next to Shi Yun.
“What are you thinking about?”
Shi Yun sighed: “I’m thinking about those comments on the Internet. I don’t think they’re reading it right.
Teacher Jiang is a very good person, there must be some misunderstanding.”
“Do you care about him so much?”
“Of course, after all, we’re friends.”
An Huaixu didn’t talk.
After the anger subsided, based on Jiang Song’s words, he had actually guessed the whole story.
But he still hated Jiang Song.
Shi Yun opened his phone, skillfully entered Wei Tie, and refreshed the hot search.
He saw the first on the hot search and his eyes widened.
“Teacher Jiang has personally replied!”
