Ep1. His dad asked me to move in although we were just been in a relationship for a month!?

Because of a person, I fall in love with a city, because of a person, I leave the city.

Looking back on their own years, stumbling, dazed, I did not know how they came.

Because of him, I walked into this circle, love each other so tender, love each other, but no matter how deep feelings accumulated, also can not resist the foreign separation.

After so much helplessness, we parted. Then I also left the city, which I have never come back.

After leaving him, I came to Yangzhou.

This is where the story begins.

When I set foot in Yangzhou, I still continued to do my previous work. Working in a group company and doing what I like.

I admit that I am an extremely asshole, a promiscuous person.

As the saying goes, humans are unfaithful. You just haven’t met the one who can make you faithful.

When I came to Yangzhou, I used all the apps, which my ex taught me earlier. Use different apps to hook up with different people.

In this way, I just set myself free to hook up with a lot of people. At the same time, I will go to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention regularly for examination. Sometimes, I will also do a blood examination. To ensure their health, I will do double protection when having sex, just in case.

People may like to walk a tightrope, being afraid, but the body is honest.

Everything changed when I met Mr Sui in Yangzhou.

In 2015, in the hot and dry summer, restless mood, I have no mind to go to work. On this boring afternoon, I came to the ancestral temple alone to worship the gods, and then, conveniently browse the Blued app.

There was a “Hi” that started our deep love relationship.

I didn’t think a lot about it and replied politely.

As usual, after a few words, we added each other contact and started the chat.

I still vividly remember the first time of our chat, which lasted more than four hours.

During the chat, I learned that Mr Sui is a local man in Yangzhou, working as a real estate assistant. I got to know him because he had just broken up with his ex-boyfriend and was at a low point in his relationship. He was in a particularly chaotic mood, so we talked for a long time.

Meanwhile, Mr Sui kept suggesting that we meet, but I was reluctant.

I am extremely unwilling to meet my friends who have just known each other for a short time. It might be awkward if we can’t find the same topic.

As soon as people in the circle have a crush on each other, they have dinner, meet each other and have a room. All three steps will naturally happen, but I don’t like this kind of “booty call”.

In this way, we maintained a vague mode of getting along with each other for nearly two months.

On July 7, 2015, we met.

I asked to meet, it was my turn to feel low because the work is not good. I want to find someone to talk. I inadvertently said, “let’s meet and talk in detail?”

Who knows he actually readily agreed.

This surprised me.

What was more surprising was that the first time I met Mr Sui, He asked me to come to his home. He had been living alone ever since he separated from his ex-boyfriend, in a two-bedroom house with the master bedroom reserved for his parents, though he slept in the second bedroom even though his parents were no longer in the house when they learned of his condition.

Without any defence, without any hesitation, we just met.

I didn’t knock or ring the doorbell, so as not to disturb him, I sent him a message on WeChat saying, “I’m here.”

At that time, there were slippers and earrings, slowly open the door, he smiled and stood in front of me, I don’t have too many shocked, because he was actually looked the same as the picture he sent to me.

I could tell from the moment I told him to meet, he must have been fully prepared and looking forward to it for a long time… The arc of the mouth smile up, you can read this moment of him, he was very happy.

I do not know whether it is because of nervousness, excitement or inadaptability to the strange environment. After entering his house, I have been wandering back and forth in the living room, spreading my arms and expanding my shoulders to relieve my discomfort.

He motioned for me to sit down on the couch and began asking me about my troubles at work. Before I had said a few words, he would take the topic to a thousand miles away, telling me the interesting things about his school life, the places he visited, the people he loved… I don’t know if he was trying to distract me or let me know more about him. What was supposed to be a meet for me to pour out my troubles but had turned into a retrospective for him?

After talking for about two hours, we went out to get dinner.

Everything went on as usual at the table until the end of the meal when Mr Sui asked timidly, “Will you be going home tonight? Or… ..”

I know the rest of his sentence might have been, “You don’t have to go home if you want me to stay with you.”

That night, I naturally stayed at Mr Sui’s house, what should happen happened, not too much embarrassment and formality, not too much unfamiliar and shy. Like a couple of years, everything is so skilled and comfortable.

At this moment, the combination of iceberg and flame is perfect!

The next morning, I took a leave of absence, because the night of 5 battles really made me a little bit overwhelmed. After that night, this tug of war became a regular thing for both of us.

Mr Sui’s father, who had been living in another city, suddenly moved back home on July 8, shortly after we were making love in the bathroom.

According to Mr Sui, he had no idea and had no sign of returning home. Maybe the parents are old and want to go home and spend time with their child.

Since then, we have become a couple like a family, and even his parents have accepted me.

At the age of 25, Mr Sui came out to his family. His parents couldn’t accept it at first, but Mr Sui would occasionally bring his boyfriend to their home for dinner, and gradually, they accepted the fact.

When I was in a conflict with Mr Sui, his father would play the role of mediator between us.

In the third month together, I learned from Mr Sui that his father appreciated me very much and suggested that we live together, which would be a good way to cultivate our relationship.

It was brought up by his family, and when he told me about it, I immediately agreed with him without any rebuttal or hesitation. I was brought up by my grandmother. My parents have been doing business abroad for as long as I can remember, so it has always been my dream to find the taste of home in a strange city.

It was in the winter of 2015 that we officially moved into Mr Sui’s home and lived together. We went to slender West Lake for a stroll. When we came to the twenty-four Bridge, Mr Sui said, “This is a very famous place.

Before moving in together, I had a formal dinner with Mr Sui’s family. This meal, very important, also decided me and Mr Sui’s future life.

We prepared gifts for them and arranged the best western restaurant in Yangzhou in advance.

This meal, Mr Sui’s family is very satisfied.

When I got home in the evening, Mr Sui’s father sent me a short message, basically saying that he was satisfied with me and asked me to move to his home sometime. He also asked me to meet him alone the next day for a chat.

The next afternoon, we met at a teahouse near our home.

Uncle told me everything that happened before Mr Sui, he also knew everything about Mr Sui, let us know how to cherish each other, take good care of each other, inclusive each other.

The first private conversation with the so-called “father-in-law” felt like an earnest father giving instructions.

After that day, Mr Sui and I officially began our cohabitation, together with his parent, a family of four.

This New Year, I did not go back to my hometown but stayed in Yangzhou to celebrate the New Year with Mr Sui’s family.

My parents kept asking me, “Why don’t you go home for Chinese New Year?”

I didn’t know what to say, but I put it off because I was too busy.
