Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From The Trash - Chap 58
Since Ge Dong and Changsheng He lived together, another two and a half years have passed.
Last year, Ge Dong was not able to spend New Year’s Eve at home because of the competition, so to compensate, this year’s New Year was extra lively.
The home was newly renovated, a floor-to-ceiling window was built in the dining room, snow fell on the steps outside, and it was warm as spring in a walled area.
The dumplings were stuffed with pork and scallions, rolled up and down in the boiling aluminum pot; the diced pork was caramelized and shiny, the dried plum vegetables were black and crisp, and the aroma of the meat juice brought out the full flavor of the dried plum vegetables, complementing each other; the freshly fished sea oysters were plump, and the fishy smell of minerals was well hidden by the ginger sauce.
Feihong Dong was the one who organized such a wonderful and rich table.
There were not many people at this family dinner, only four people were present, Dong’s parents, Ge Dong, and Feihong Dong.
Ge Dong’s mother was glowing with happiness as she gave Ge Dong a dish to eat while Ge Dong and his father drank together.
Ge Dong can drink a little bit, so when Dong’s father was already red in the face, Ge Dong’s cheeks only flushed a little bit with wine, and his eyes were still bright and quiet.
Since this is a family dinner, it is natural to talk about personal matters during the dinner.
Winter’s mother smilingly asked, “Xiao Ge, recently met someone.”
Ge Dong said, “I’m training every day, so I don’t have time to think about it.”
Winter mother a squeeze eyes: “Do not play sloppy eyes with mom, if you like who to tell mom.”
Ge Dong : “Where is it.”
Winter’s mother simply made it more explicit: “Do you like boys or girls?”
Unlike the previous world line, the social acceptance of homosexuality in this world line is quite normal, and Ge Dong is surprised that his mother would ask such a question.
And soon winter mother gave the reason: “What are your eyes? Our family is at least an open ice rink, more boys bring boys to skate. In the past few years, how many times have I accompanied you abroad? What Western scenery have not seen?”
Ge Dong was surprised: “…… What makes you think so suddenly?”
Ge Dong has always been gay, but why would Dong’s mother bring this up?
Winter’s mother had a look of “your mother guessed it, right?”: “Is that person’s last name He?”
Xiaochi Chi : “……” huh?
Winter mother said: “When I went up to see you, I ran into one of your female teammates, so I talked a few words. She said there is a person who always comes to the field to watch you train, every time he went, you jumped especially vigorous, what jumping method fancy on which to jump. She was talking so energetically, I went to inquire about it, originally thought it was a girl, did not expect ……”
Xiaochi Chi : “…… six teachers, six teachers. Is there such a thing.”
During practice, Xiaochi Chi always gives his body to Ge Dong and lets him do whatever he wants, but I never thought he would take this opportunity to show off his little heart.
061: “…… really does.”
Xiaochi Chi held a glass of wine: “…… Hopefully I taught half a day, brought out a little peacock that would cock the tail.”
061 Laugh.
Since the last time he picked up a subtle signal, 061 has been paying extra attention to what is going on inside Ge Dong’s body.
Sure enough, there was a reaction this time.
If 061 is correct, the signal received this time is “blush”.
Seeing that Ge Dong didn’t say anything, Dong’s mother couldn’t help but continue to preach: “It’s not a bad thing to like a boy if you like him. If you are like your little uncle, celibacy, that’s the bad thing, when you get old, who will take care of your body?”
Feihong Dong, who was named for no reason, immediately made a restrained face, bowed his head and ate obediently, while winking at Ge Dong over the edge of his bowl.
After dinner, Dong’s mother washed the dishes, Dong’s father wiped the table, and Ge Dong was driven to watch TV.
After tuning the station to the central station, he put on his clothes and walked out of the house.
He found Feihong Dong, who was smoking a cigarette, by the ice rink.
There was a bright red banner on the ice rink: Congratulations to Ge Dong for joining the national team, the ice rink is free for seven days.
This is the notice sent down years ago.
Ge Dong, Xiao Liang, the other female singles skater, and the pairs of Changsheng He and Xiaoyan Fang have been qualified by the National Skating Association and will be members of the national team starting later in the year.
Training location is still mainly the provincial team, if there are important events, and then gather to focus on training.
After the New Year, they will fly to Finland to prepare for the World Skating Championships in March.
Seeing him, Feihong Dong waved the smoke away with his hand, intending to put out the cigarette.
Xiaochi Chi said, “No need.”
He came forward and opened his palm to Feihong Dong.
Feihong Dong understood and took out the cigarette case from his pocket: “You can smoke now?”
Xiaochi Chi took one out of the middle and held it in his mouth, “It will be a little bit.”
Feihong Dong laughed and said, “Let’s smoke in secret. Don’t let your mother find out, or she’ll say I’ve brought you down again.”
He said, he put the curling smoke back in his mouth, lowered his head from the pocket to feel the lighter.
But he did not expect, Xiaochi Chi slightly on tiptoe, holding a cigarette in his mouth naturally touched the cigarette in Feihong Dong’s mouth.
–Sizzle.
The dark red, burning cigarette ignites the paper of another cigarette, which then ignites the tobacco inside.
Feihong Dong’s heart jumped openly.
After the ignition, Xiaochi Chi automatically withdrew, as if he had not done the slightly ambiguous action just now.
Leaning back against the cold railing, he looked up at the dark night sky and the occasional sporadic fireworks that bloomed in the night sky.
The order prohibiting private fireworks has been issued for so many years, but there are still people who are willing to go against the wind, as if the New Year if not tossed out some noise, it is not considered a good year.
Xiaochi Chi asked, “Little Uncle, I heard you are going abroad.”
Feihong Dong nods.
Xiaochi Chi’s mission in this world is coming to an end, so he also has to prepare for his “disappearance” in advance.
Xiaochi Chi said, “It’s good to be abroad. I can still visit you when I go abroad to compete in the future.”
Feihong Dong smiles and does not answer.
“Feihong Dong” exists to protect Xiaochi Chi. With Xiaochi Chi gone, it would be too difficult and unrealistic to maintain ” Feihong Dong ” across the long timeline.
After that, Xiaochi Chi didn’t say anything else.
The uncle and nephew finished smoking a cigarette shoulder to shoulder, and each lit another one.
The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is extreme, but for Xiaochi Chi, who trains year-round in a sub-zero environment, this cold is nothing.
The two stood in silence for a long time before Xiaochi Chi suddenly spoke up.
Facing the vast ice rink, he asked, “Uncle, have you ever seen The Matrix.”
This world has this movie, but since 061 has not seen it, so has Feihong Dong.
He shakes his head honestly and asks, “What’s the story?”
Xiaochi Chi took a drag from his cigarette and said, “It’s nothing. That’s a good movie.”
He said this in a lazy tone, very close to the real Xiaochi Chi.
Feihong Dong’s eyes can parse all the data, so the Xiaochi Chi that falls in his eyes at this moment is exactly the way he was originally.
–Snow-white smoke flowed from his slightly red lips, parting slowly along his hanging gut-like nose and dissolving into the cold air.
His eyes are teasingly careless, mixed with a little melancholy, charmingly lost in thought.
Feihong Dong couldn’t help but say, “You ……”
However, before the words were finished, Winter’s mother’s voice came from afar: ” Ge Dong . …… Xiao Ge! Where is it?!”
Xiaochi Chi naturally turned back to Ge Dong’s expression mode and skillfully dipped the cigarette butt into the disposable water cup prepared by Feihong Dong aside: “Mom, here I am.”
Winter’s mother called out, “Someone is looking for you!”
Ge Dong thought it might be an acquaintance, but he was shocked when he saw Changsheng He pulling a suitcase.
He walked up quickly, “Elder He?”
“I was going to come back to your house tomorrow to pay my respects.” Changsheng He looked pale and beautiful with white air coming out of his mouth and frosty eyelashes, “…… but there was an accident. Can I come and stay at your house for a day?”
Ge Dong, of course, agreed.
They have two guest rooms, enough for Changsheng He to sleep in.
When he brought Changsheng He in, Ge Dong didn’t ask a single question, and when he introduced Changsheng He to his parents, he only said that Changsheng He was here for a visit.
Winter’s mother knew him and had just heard the gossip, so she looked at Changsheng He a little differently: “Why did you go out on a trip during the New Year? Where are your parents.”
Changsheng He held his hot tea and answered truthfully, “I am an orphan.”
Changsheng He was bullied when he first entered the gymnasium because of this. In the minds of children, those with mothers are inherently superior to those without.
Now mention this matter again, Changsheng He has no special feelings, but the winter mother’s compassionate heart can not be wrapped around, shushing and handing melon seeds, chatting over three sentences kowtow, to recognize the godson’s posture are to be set out.
Changsheng He has never been treated so grandly in his life, so he was at a loss for words and could only lean towards the familiar Ge Dong.
It was Ge Dong who rescued him and took him into the guest room.
As soon as the door closed, Changsheng He let out a long breath: “Thank you.”
Ge Dong : “You’re not used to it.”
Changsheng He said, “I am not quite used to it. Lou’s family …… is not.”
Lou’s father and mother were reminded of Changsheng He’s origins many times by Sifan Lou in private, and always treated Changsheng He with caution, fearing to touch his sore spots, so although Changsheng He was often treated with courtesy in the Lou family, it was always awkward.
In contrast, Winter’s mother’s enthusiasm made him a little uncomfortable, but with an extra heart warming.
Ge Dong did not speak again.
Changsheng He sat down on a chair, “I’ll stay the night and leave tomorrow.”
Ge Dong said, “I’ll do what you want. Stay for two more days if you are happy to stay.”
Changsheng He said, “Can you lend me some money?”
Ge Dong : “How much?”
Changsheng He : “The train ticket back to the provincial team, about 120 or so.”
Ge Dong said, “Okay. But there should be no tickets now. Check online first to see if there are any tickets left.”
Changsheng He : “I lost my phone.”
Ge Dong : “…… Buy a spare first.”
Changsheng He : “The wallet and cell phone were stolen together.”
Ge Dong : “…… What else do you have on you?”
Changsheng He said, “The ID card is still there. I always keep my ID and wallet separate.”
Xiaochi Chi : “……”
I rely on this year to let you live, there is an ID card left.
He asked, “Senior, you came here with the intention of spending the New Year with Senior Lou, right?”
Changsheng He was eerily silent for a moment before he replied, “Well. I had a fight with him.”
…… Well, the cause and effect of the story is always strung together.
Changsheng He was planning to spend New Year’s Eve with Sifan Lou, when a verbal argument unexpectedly occurred; Changsheng He left Lou’s house and planned to buy a ticket at the train station to go back to the provincial team, but unexpectedly his wallet and cell phone were stolen clean, so he had no choice but to walk to Ge Dong, who was also in the local area, for help.
Ge Dong checked the remaining train tickets: “The tickets from the first day of the New Year to the fourth day of the New Year are all sold out.”
Changsheng He bowed his head, “I’ll take the bus back.”
Ge Dong said, “Okay, I will accompany you to the passenger terminal tomorrow.”
Changsheng He said, “Thank you.”
Changsheng He didn’t say why he and Sifan Lou were fighting, and Ge Dong didn’t ask.
Changsheng He is grateful for this seemingly insensitive thoughtfulness.
Sifan Lou has not been in good shape since the good news was sent to the provincial team a year ago, and did not even make it to the preliminary round in the next national competition.
This incident made Sifan Lou’s coach extremely angry and made him submit at least five personal reviews and analyses.
And in the afternoon chat, Lou’s father also brought up the matter, telling him to stop being arrogant and learn more from Ge Dong of the same team.
By then Sifan Lou’s face looked very bad.
Changsheng He knew the topic was not very pleasant, so he tried to steer the conversation away: ” Ge Dong also lives here, right? Tomorrow I’m going to pay my respects to him, Lou, are you going.”
Sifan Lou, who was always a gentleman, exploded: “Don’t mention this person, okay?
Changsheng He froze: “……”
Sifan Lou shouted in a vocal manner, “It’s him everywhere, it’s him everywhere! You have no home to go back to all these years, who took you in for New Year’s Eve? You want to go to him, fine, you go, go now! Don’t stay here–”
Once the words were out of his mouth, Sifan Lou also noticed that something was wrong and his face turned red and purple, but it was too late to take it back.
Changsheng He had no feelings about the death of his parents, but it was hard for him to accept such words from his friend.
So in order not to make things more embarrassing, he chose to leave.
After a brief conversation, Changsheng He said, “You go stay with your parents.”
Ge Dong said, “I’ll stay with you.”
Changsheng He said, “It’s boring to accompany me. I’m going to do the choreography program.”
Ge Dong said, “That’s interesting.”
Changsheng He now realizes that the people in front of him are also the ones who treat skating as their life, for them it is never boring and every day has a new look.
So his heart warmed a little more: “Good.”
The “program” Changsheng He refers to is the design of the program they intend to perform at the World Championships.
This time, Changsheng He’s coach was ambitious, wanting Changsheng He to break through their fourth place finish from last time and try to win a medal.
Therefore, Ge Dong had already submitted the proposal a year ago, and Changsheng He was still working with the choreographer, staying up late every day, and this New Year’s Eve was no exception.
Ge Dong went outside to make a pot of black tea and came back: “Elder, what’s the problem.”
Changsheng He looked a bit distressed: “I have to hand in the proposal tomorrow, but I’m still not sure how to design this movement better.”
Ge Dong looked into his design sketches.
In Ge Dong’s memory, Changsheng He performed quite well at the World Championships, but due to another change of partner, she did not have enough friction with her, and the dance was not expressive enough, so she lost the medal.
“Development” is almost every teenage athletes have to go through the hurdle, especially skating, swimming and other sports that are demanding to almost perverse body type.
Ge Dong Their weights are calculated by two, measured daily, and if there is an increase or decrease outside the calculated range, they must accept a fine and a doubling of their training.
Girls face more uncertainties than boys because they have to face the development of local organs such as breasts and hips, so it often happens that male players change their female partners during the process of adulthood.
This time, Changsheng He is partnered with Xiaoyan Fang, who has been working with him for nearly a decade, so there should be no problem in terms of technology and cooperation.
Ge Dong looked at Changsheng He’s meditating and couldn’t figure it out, so he suggested, “I have an ice rink at home, so why don’t we try it on the ice?”
