Chapter 86 - Shattered White Moonlight

In this early morning, Zheng BuLu sat on the living room couch of the Lin family home. Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing sat opposite of him, while Lin YaZhi was seated on his right.

Lin YaZhi yawned as he rubbed his eyes and said: Old Zheng, hurry and make a decision, ah. I still want to go back to sleep.

Zheng BuLu had two huge eye bags on his face. He was obviously tired, and he looked at Lin YaZhi with a bitter expression.

After the phone call he had with Lin YaZhi, Zheng BuLu rushed back to Rong City overnight and knocked on the Lin familys door early this morning.

However, he was the only one who spent all last night worrying. The three people in front of him didnt look the least bit sleep deprived. In fact, when Lin YaZhi opened the door for him, Lin YaZhi looked annoyed! If he wasnt so insistent, Zheng BuLu had no doubt that Lin YaZhi wouldve simply gone back to sleep.

Zheng BuLu was originally very worried, upset, and angry. He spent the whole night thinking of all the ways he could teach the two children a good lesson. Zheng BuLu even thought of initiating a preemptive strike, to jolt them back to reality first, then slowly guiding them patiently and systematically back to the right path.

And he really did start to do this. As soon as Zheng BuLu saw Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing, he scolded them, and scolded them, and scolded them. But he didnt get a single change of expression from the two. In fact, they asked him to wait so that they could go back and brush their teeth and wash their faces first. It was only after they were clean and tidy that they invited Zheng BuLu to sit down.

Zheng BuLu let his temper out for half a day, but it was akin to hitting cotton with a hammer. There wasnt even the slightest echo that could be heard. It made the present situation quite awkward.

Zheng BuLu didnt know if he just imagined things, but Lin YaZhi looked like he was watching a funny show.

His temper was explosive, but in the end, it had minimal effect. Zheng BuLu found the situation baffling, so he turned to his son for clarification. But when he saw Zheng PingQing, Zheng BuLu got frightened.

He had been so angry that he didnt notice until now, but Zheng BuLu found that Zheng PingQing had several bruises on his arms.

Zheng BuLu became so nervous that he forgot his anger. He quickly asked: PingQing, why are you covered in bruises, ah? Who did you fight with?

Lin YaZhi coughed to one side, and uncomfortably answered: It was me.

Zheng BuLu looked at him, obviously unwilling to believe this. Brother Lin, dont try to help him lie! Others may not know, but I know you well, ah. How can I believe that you would hit a child!

Lin Qian: .

Zheng PingQing: .

For a moment, the trio seriously pondered how Zheng BuLu could develop such a fantastical impression of Lin YaZhi.

Lin YaZhi also became a little embarra.s.sed. After having a night to think about things, he regretted treating Zheng PingQing so harshly. After some hesitation, he said: I found out about their relations.h.i.+p yesterday and acted impulsively. At the heat of the moment, I

Zheng BuLu became even more baffled. Brother Lin, you really cant lie well, ah. If you really did hit him because of their relations.h.i.+p, then why didnt Ah Qian get hurt? You couldnt have just hit PingQing, right?

Lin Qian: ..

Zheng PingQing: .

Lin YaZhis eyes strayed to the right, then to the left. Unable to look directly at Zheng BuLu, he finally replied: I didnt think about it. I started hitting Xiao Zheng, then suddenly realized their relations.h.i.+p wasnt that big of a deal

Lin YaZhis tone was stiff and sounded very unreliable.

Sure enough, Zheng BuLu was at a loss. There was something wrong with Lin YaZhis words, but in the end, he couldnt pick out any flaws. So Zheng BuLu could only bitterly turn back towards his son. After confirming that Zheng PingQings injuries were only skin-deep, he calmed down and said: Lets get back to talking about you two.

He looked at Zheng PingQing, then at Lin Qian. With pity in his eyes, he asked: Where did you good children learn such messy things?

Dad, h.o.m.os.e.xuality is innate. Its something youre born with, not learned. Zheng PingQing lightly explained.

Nonsense. Zheng BuLu patted the coffee table in front of him. When you were a child, you said you were going to get ten wives when youre older! How can you be born gay all of a sudden?

Lin Qian looked at Zheng PingQing in silence.

Zheng PingQing crazily waved his hands, his voice panicked as he said: Dad, youve got it wrong! I didnt say such things, ah. Im a pure, unsullied gay person!

Zheng BuLu: .

Zheng BuLu felt his chest heave ever so slightly. He turned his gaze to Lin Qian and questioned: Ah Qian, truthfully, PingQing had never had such inclinations before he met you. Be honest- did you bring him into that world

Zheng BuLu didnt manage to finish his sentence before Lin YaZhi jumped up. He had been quiet all this time, but now, he angrily said: What are you implying? Are you suspecting Ah Qian for this? Are you looking for a fight?!

Zheng BuLu: .

Zheng BuLu turned his doubtful eyes towards Lin YaZhi, shocked at his response.

Although Zheng BuLu found their phone call last night to be strange, he thought it was just because Lin YaZhi was in a bad mood from their childrens affairs. In his mind, Lin YaZhi was still a polite and gentle high school teacher.

Even when Lin YaZhi said that he beat Zheng PingQing up, Zheng BuLus first reaction was not to believe this statement.

However, right now, the man standing in front of him was fierce, rude, and ready to get physical with him.

Zheng BuLu finally realized that Lin YaZhi wasnt helping Zheng PingQing lie, but really did beat him up

At this moment, Zheng BuLu felt like the image he had of his friend was a

white moonlight

in his heart that had shattered.

For a while, he didnt know if he should feel heartache for his son, or for his supposedly fake friends.h.i.+p.

Zheng BuLu looked at Lin YaZhi with a complicated expression on his face. His voice low, he said: I didnt mean it like that. I just wanted to clarify the situation.

Lin YaZhi pressed his knuckles, then reluctantly sat back down. He coldly said: Whats there to clarify? Theyre teenagers, ah. Isnt it normal for them to fall in love?

Zheng BuLu: .

Even Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing couldnt help but secretly glance at Lin YaZhi from the corners of their eyes. They were shocked. Lin YaZhis att.i.tude today was remarkably different from his att.i.tude yesterday.

The couple didnt expect that after a single night, Lin YaZhi would not only accept their relations.h.i.+p but also try to enlighten Zheng BuLu.

If it wasnt for Zheng BuLus presence, Lin Qian wouldve given his father a

brocade flag

.

Lin YaZhis generation was quite conservative, so accepting their relations.h.i.+p showed his strong adaptive and receptive abilities.

However, Lin Qian was simply overestimating him. At this time, Lin YaZhi was only able to pretend in front of Zheng BuLu because the people he cared about already made it clear where they stood in the situation. In the end, Lin Qian hadnt given him the opportunity to choose.

As for Zheng BuLu, Lin YaZhis intention wasnt really to convince him, but to instead make himself feel better.

Lin YaZhis posturing was enough. For a while, Zheng BuLu really thought that he was unreasonable.

Zheng BuLu felt miserable. After a while, he tried to continue insisting: I just wanted to know the

cause and effect

. Perhaps its worth discussing

Theres no cause or effect. Lin YaZhi interrupted. How can there be a cause and effect in love?

Zheng BuLu: He just couldnt understand. How can Lin YaZhi be so calm?

Was he really just thinking too conservatively?

However, Zheng BuLu was simply overestimating him. Lin YaZhi was saying such things entirely due to his own selfishness.

When Lin Qian came out of the closet, he kept saying that he was the one who pursued Zheng PingQing first. Since there was no one else there at the time, Lin YaZhi could still stubbornly put all the blame on Zheng PingQing. But if Zheng BuLu investigated, Lin Qian will certainly become somewhat responsible

No. He will never allow his baby cabbage to be condemned by the father pig.

Even if it was the cabbage that took the initiative, its still the pigs fault!

No one is allowed to hold his cabbage accountable!

The others didnt know Lin YaZhis inner thoughts and only thought that he had a revelation overnight.

Even Zheng PingQing, who was beaten up by him, couldnt help but praise: Uncle Lin, youre really open-minded, ah. Lin Qian is fortunate to have a father like you.

Lin Qian smiled and added: Dad is so nice.

After getting praised by his son, Lin Yazhis mood lifted. He raised his chin and forcefully said: Its nothing. A parents greatest desire is for their children to be happy. Gay or not, as long as youre happy, Dad will definitely support you.

Zheng PingQing enviously said: Thats the kind of father I want, ah

Zheng BuLu: !!!!

Zheng BuLu suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He felt like he would lose his son right this moment if he didnt say something.

But he really couldnt accept the fact that his son became gay seemingly overnight.

Zheng BuLu rubbed his temples for a long time, then finally came up with a solution.

He can find allies.

Zheng BuLu coughed and said: Its great that Brother Lin can calmly accept this, but frankly, this isnt a small thing. There are few parents who can easily accept it like you do

Dad, we dont need other parents to accept it. Zheng PingQing said.

His words. .h.i.t Zheng BuLus heart. Zheng BuLu restrained his emotions and tried to smile as he replied: But what about your mother? Dont you care about your mothers feelings?

At his question, Lin YaZhi couldnt help but laugh out loud in great pleasure.

Lin YaZhi now found Zheng BuLu quite pleasing to the eye because now he was able to definitely confirm: Zheng BuLu and Chen s.h.i.+Yi really had nothing in common with each other, nor do they talk privately.

Zheng BuLu looked at him in confusion. Why are you laughing, Brother Lin?

Lin YaZhi relaxed and said in a casual, but boastful way: Oh, I forgot to mention it. s.h.i.+Yi also knows about their relations.h.i.+p, and she thinks the same way as I do.

Zheng BuLu: .

Lin YaZhi was afraid that he wouldnt be able to capture the essence of his words, so he kindly helped Zheng BuLu and said: s.h.i.+Yi and I think alike.

The room fell into a long and awkward silence.

After who knows how long, Zheng BuLu stood up and said: Lets finish here for today. Ill go back first and think about this again. We can talk again once everyone can think more clearly.

Lin YaZhi happily stood up and replied: Ill walk you down.

Zheng BuLu looked at Lin YaZhis proud smile and felt complicated.

In one short day, Zheng BuLu not only found out that his son was gay but also uncovered the true personality of his new friend.

He felt that compared to his sons secret, Lin YaZhis sudden change was more difficult to swallow.

What white moonlight, this was false, false.

For the richest man in the city, sure enough, only

plastic friends.h.i.+ps

between phony middle-aged men were possible.

I found this funny, but also very sad. The one person in this situation that is closest to the t.i.tle parent was Zheng BuLu, and he was. .h.i.t hard in this chapter. (In my personal opinion, Chen s.h.i.+Yi and Lin YaZhi arent very good parents. They certainly try, butif Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing werent adults)

Its extremely hilarious that Lin YaZhi is his white moonlight, but its also sad that the new friend he treasured wasnt a genuine friend at all.

Honestly, Lin YaZhi was somewhat sc.u.mmy in this chapter.

Also, Lin YaZhi and Chen s.h.i.+Yi got the well wait for you to accept us, even if it takes decades speech, but Zheng BuLu didnt, ah. He deserves the same consideration, ah!
