Si Chen gave a bitter laugh, "Why don't you scold me, Mom? I told you before that I only liked Shi Yuhuan, not men in general, but in the end..."
"No matter what the result is?" Si's mom said, embracing him gently, "Be it a man or a woman, if you feel it's right, just be together. Mom isn't a stickler, I won't force you to do anything. All I want is for you to be happy!"
"Mom! Thank you!" Si Chen hugged his mother back, always thinking that she would be opposed to him being with a man.
That's why he broke up with Shi Mu and constantly dated women, also hoping to be normal, to prevent his parents from worrying about him.
Si's mom stayed with him in the room for a while longer, then returned to the living room, chatted with Shi Mu for a bit longer, and finally left.
After mom left, only Shi Mu and Si Chen remained in the room, and suddenly Si Chen didn't know what to say anymore.
Turning around, he wanted to retreat to the bedroom—as if driven by an instinct to flee.
