At the time, Jiang Yuman was chatting with Hai Xiu at home. After receiving the call, she made some aimless chatter for a while. Seeing that Feng Fei seemed a little anxious, she continuously appeased and reassured him, telling him not to worry.
After hanging up the phone, Hai Xiu anxiously asked, p3v0qi
“What’s the matter?”
“Feng Fei…” Jiang Yuman couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry. “He asked me to act harsh and pretend like I don’t like him at all if his mother calls me later.” Hai Xiu was stunned for two seconds, and pretty much understood what Feng Fei’s plan was.
First, arouse Lu Haoli’s guilt, so that she couldn’t refuse him, and then Feng Fei would completely lower himself and explain the matter.
Before Lu Haoli could oppose their relationship, Feng Fei had already sealed her retreat. By first showing Lu Haoli the worst possible situation, she couldn’t criticize Hai Xiu at all. Then, to push her focus off of the actual relationship, Jiang Yuman would pretend to be against their relationship so that Lu Haoli would focus more on how to get Jiang Yuman’s consent. Taking advantage of Lu Haoli’s mentality to make up for her shortcomings, Lu Haoli would subconsciously stand on Feng Fei’s side. KDh3no
Then, with the wave of emotion from the events of this past year, he would convince Lu Haoli with their similar experiences. (TN-ga;slkdjfewoihagldskj idk) (EN- +1…Feng Fei is one cunning guy…well I guess that’s what you do for love?)
When Lu Haoli had just graduated, the Lu family had also been unsatisfied with Feng Shizhuo.
Of course, Feng Fei didn’t really control the whole scenario. If he had really been acting, he wouldn’t have lost control of himself. His guilt towards Lu Haoli and his feelings for Hai Xiu made his fake act real, but it was still alright…at least it managed to move Lu Haoli.
Right now, Lu Haoli was still unsure whether Hai Xiu or the crazy girl was better. AFEgYS
She had done enough psychological preparation before, and now, it was just that the person in question had changed. In her eyes, the two were equally problematic.
Feng Fei breathed a sigh of relief…The move he’d made a few months ago was not in vain.
“How about this,” Lu Haoli thought for a while, and said, “I am not someone with no EQ. If we go directly to the other family’s door, it will only make people feel more opposed to you and will intensify the conflict. You should give them some time and let them digest it by themselves. On my side…I’ll try to persuade your father. After everyone calms down, we can all sit down and have a good talk.”
The words hit Feng Fei’s heart like a hammer. Cautiously, he prodded, 0diHZh
“On dad’s side….”
Lu Haoli said tiredly,Â
“Let me talk to him about it. You have enough troubles.”
Feng Fei couldn’t bear to see her so troubled, and whispered, gVA2Wi
“Mom, to you and dad, I’m sorry….”

Feng Fei hesitantly asked, fq7Pnm
“You…so you’re okay with us?”
Lu Haoli smiled and said nothing.
It was impossible to fully accept it, but Lu Haoli didn’t feel that she was in a position to question Feng Fei as to why he had become a homosexual.
Over the years, she had not participated much when Feng Fei’s was growing up, his father, even less. 25lPt7
In fact, Feng Xuan had disciplined Feng Fei even more than his mother. Lu Haoli paused and asked, hesitantly,Â
“Your eldest brother…does he know…?”
If Feng Xuan knew, it probably wouldn’t be that hard to talk about.
The corner of Feng Fei’s mouth curled into a grimace, and he smiled bitterly. 4UYbC3
“He knew about it a long time ago. At that time, you and father had just left and were flying around the world frequently. My eldest brother didn’t dare to tell you.”
Lu Haoli recalled that the last time she came back, Feng Xuan told herself to be more open, and understood everything at once. Stunned, she lost her words. “He…he’s okay with it?”
Feng Fei nodded.Â
Lu Haoli couldn’t find anything to say. Mbit75
“When has your elder brother had such a good temper?”
“After he beat me up so badly I almost couldn’t leave the house.” Feng Fei pressed the corner of his left mouth and hissed, as if he could still feel the pain. “You don’t even know how heavy-handed he was. It was so bad I was almost too embarrassed to go to class…when I walked through the school, everyone looked at me like I was a monkey in a circus. Even the idiots from the school next door who’ve fought with me before knew that I got beaten. I almost died of embarrassment.” (TN-he’s really throwing Feng Xuan under the bus rn lmao)
Lu Haoli, upon hearing this, immediately felt distressed. “He actually raised his hand against you?! Where else did you get hit? Is it serious?”
Feng Fei was deliberately vague, as he mumbled, T5HV1i
“It’s okay…it’s not like I got killed or mutilated, so I guess it’s fine.”
Lu Haoli felt even more distressed when she heard this. Grabbing hold of the opportunity, Feng Fei smiled bitterly. “You have to be more subtle when you talk to dad. My injury only just managed to heal, I don’t want to get beaten by dad immediately after. I’ll be attending university in September. Do you want me to go in a wheelchair?”

“He dares!” Lu Haoli frowned. “Don’t worry, how could you be beaten twice for one thing. Your eldest brother too! Just how badly did he beat you?!” (TN-yo I don’t wanna be a snitch but bro he punched you ONCE)
“I’ll just say that after hitting me, he agreed and accepted our relationship.” Feng Fei said, “If I told you how hard he hit me, even heartless people would pity me.” 9uqWwz
Lu Haoli didn’t think her eldest son was that heartless, but she also knew that Feng Xuan couldn’t just easily accept this kind of thing. Feng Fei saw Lu Haoli’s doubts and smiled indifferently. “It was Hai Xiu…he told my elder brother that he wants to accompany me for the rest of my life. Where I go, he’ll go; he said he’d watch me for the rest of my life, so that I won’t get into trouble and would stay on the right path.”
Hearing this, Lu Haoli had mixed feelings in her heart, whispering,Â
“Hai Xiu is a good kid.”
 YN6w2d
“If he hadn’t met me, wouldn’t he have been able to marry any girl in the future?” Feng Fei laughed at himself. “To get his mother to agree would be a feat in and of itself.”
Lu Haoli glared at him. “So it turns out you know that too.”
After coming out of the tea house, Feng Fei sent Lu Haoli to Feng Xuan’s house.
While he was dropping her off, Feng Fei openly stated that he wanted to go see Hai Xiu. Lu Haoli was worried for him, and suggested, bXaBSJ
“How about you don’t get into trouble with other people and their families. It won’t end well if you do something bad.”
Feng Xuan looked at Feng Fei in confusion. Feng Fei smiled at him, and said,Â
“I know, I won’t be as stupid as my brother.”
Feng Xuan got the gist of the situation, and hid the matter on the day the college entrance examination ended, and didn’t mention it to Lu Haoli. MtiWpl
After leaving Feng Xuan’s house, Feng Fei went back to Hai Xiu’s house.
Both Hai Xiu and Jiang Yuman were there. Jiang Yuman had just learned that Feng Fei had a showdown with his mother, and worriedly inquired, “Is everything all right?”
“It’s okay.” Feng Fei was finally able to take a breath of relief and said what had just happened.
Feng Fei said to Jiang Yuman, ashamed, n5TwiW
“Auntie I couldn’t help it but…I just thought of such a way on the spot, I…”
“Okay, let’s not talk about this.” Jiang Yuman had been worried about Feng Fei’s side of the family these days, fearing that the resistance to their relationship would be too great and it would affect Hai Xiu and Feng Fei. Now that half the problem had been resolved, and the remaining half only required them to cooperate well for them to finally be able to unite as one big family, there was nothing to be upset about.

Jiang Yuman said kindly to Feng Fei, “I know what to do when your mother contacts me.”
“Sorry for troubling you.” Feng Fei sighed slightly. Regarding their coming out, his original plan was to bring Hai Xiu with him to negotiate with his family. After he had fully convinced his side, Feng Fei would choose a good time to win Jiang Yuman’s consent. gzEktB
The support of his own family would have been his greatest sincerity.
But now, it had been completely reversed, and he needed Jiang Yuman’s hard work to convince his family, making Feng Fei somewhat embarrassed.
Jiang Yuman, however, didn’t care about this. She just wanted to clear any and all obstacles for her son. There was nothing she didn’t want or couldn’t do.
Since Feng Fei’s arrival, Hai Xiu hadn’t said much, but his eyes had been fixed on Feng Fei’s body. After they finished discussing their business, Jiang Yuman saw that her son wanted to talk to Feng Fei, and said with a smile, xy804o
“I’m a little busy right now. I was a little worried about you after I got your phone call so I’ve been waiting here. Now it seems that there’s nothing wrong. I just need to wait for your mother to contact me so I’ll be leaving now.”
Feng Fei, out of politeness, immediately asked, “Where are you going? I can take you there. The car is parked right next to the building.”
Jiang Yuman smiled. “I have to go to several places, so it’s better if I just drive myself. Okay, I need to go now. You guys can figure out lunch by yourselves.”
After saying this, Jiang Yuman went back to her room upstairs to change. dm1odC
Â
After Jiang Yuman changed and came out of the room, she pretended not to see her son’s lips that had reddened a couple shades, and told Feng Fei, “If there is any situation that comes up, make sure to tell me, and don’t worry too much…Parents are always the most reluctant to refuse their children anything…I’ll be leaving then.”
Jiang Yuman picked up the bag and opened the door to go out.
The second the door closed, Feng Fei pulled Hai Xiu to his side, bowed his head, and kissed him again. Afterwards, he held Hai Xiu’s hand and felt his fingers tremble slightly. ZGfKYq
Feng Fei let go of Hai Xiu. Seeing that his eyes were red, he smiled reassuringly. “What’s the matter?”
Hai Xiu lowered his head, took a few deep breaths, and said with a suppressed voice, “My heart just hurts a little….”
With just these words, Feng Fei suddenly felt a little repressed too. He smiled, rubbed Hai Xiu’s forehead, and said solemnly, “Don’t feel bad, it’s all right.”
“The last stage, we’re going to pass it soon.” Feng Fei’s mouth curled up, and there was a hint of evil on his handsome face. “After that…No matter what or how I play in the future, it will be possible.” hBcn4z
After listening, Hai Xiu was stunned, and only managed to react after two seconds. He avoided the smirk in Feng Fei’s eyes, coughed and whispered,Â
“I’m talking about proper business.”

“This is proper business.” Feng Fei said with a relaxed smile, “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore…After today, we don’t have to hide from anyone anymore. When we go shopping, we can hold hands if we want to hold hands. At home, we don’t need to stop hugging or act like we’re just friends no matter who comes in. When we go to university and someone tries to tell on you to the counselor, you can also tell the counselor that I’m your boyfriend, and that the parents of our family all know and agree. You don’t need to care about what other people think of us.”
This was one of the reasons why Feng Fei wanted to come out immediately after the college entrance examination. p6RgAU
He was fed up with hiding and being unable to say the truth whenever someone asked him about his relationship with Hai Xiu. As long as he got the blessings of the parents from both sides, he won’t have to care about anyone else anymore. (EN- Feng Fei may be cunning but this just shows that he is a responsible boyfriend! I give him full marks for this)
Feng Fei took Hai Xiu’s hand and smiled, saying, “When the time comes…I will pick you up and drop you off to and from class every day. When I don’t have anything to do, I can even go to your class and sit right next to you.”
Hai Xiu’s lips moved, but without waiting for him to speak, Feng Fei asked, “When your friends and classmates see me, and ask you who I am, what would you say?”
The sweetness in Hai Xiu’s heart felt like it was overflowing, and he whispered, “I’ll say that you’re my boyfriend.” a47oXP
