Xia Lin asked blankly, "How did you guys know?" Why did Uncle and Aunt know about this!
Qi Shang's parents smiled helplessly. Then they looked at their still prickly son and comforted him, "Son, you've been different from others since you were born, whether it's your personality or your unique superpower. So we've long developed a strong heart. Well, since you've already made your decision, we, as elders, won't say anything more."
"No..." Qi Shang's father stepped forward. "We still have something to say. Honey, have you forgotten about the plan to go abroad?"
Prompted by her husband, Qi Shang's mother smacked her forehead in frustration, looking as if she'd just remembered. "Oh, right, right. Look at my memory. By the way, there's something I want to tell you guys. Would you like to go abroad with us during the vacation? Staying at home during the summer vacation is no fun compared to going out and having a good time!"
Xia Lin looked at Qi Shang, who nodded. "Sure, both Xia Lin and I will go. We'll come back together then."
"Come back together? Wait a minute, Qi Shang. Your vacation is a month shorter than mine!"
Qi Shang didn't care. "It doesn't matter. I'll just take a one - month leave."
Hearing that their soon - to - be senior - three son was going to take a one - month leave just to have more fun abroad, Qi Shang's parents didn't object at all. Well, whatever. Qi Shang was a miraculous young man, and his parents were also extraordinary.
Since they'd made the decision, the next day they bought four tickets for the trip abroad and packed their luggage. On the third day, they set off. After a twelve - hour flight, they arrived in another country.
Qi Shang's mother even joked, "This country is much more open. Once you're here, you can hold hands, hug, and even..."
"Auntie!"
Xia Lin blushed. Qi Shang's mother winked and shut up, but her expression was still full of teasing.
"Okay, okay. Let me change the topic. Where do you guys want to go tomorrow? How about the beach?"
Qi Shang frowned. "Longhu City is by the sea. I've been to the beach several times. It's boring."
"Disneyland?"
"Too many people. Standing in line is annoying. I don't want to go!"
"Go climbing?"
"Too monotonous. It's no fun!"
"Go visit the Grand Canyon?"
"What's so interesting about that? There aren't any entertainment activities."
Seeing that Qi Shang's mother was about to explode with anger, Xia Lin and Qi Shang's father quickly stepped in to save the situation. "Auntie, you can decide where to go. Xia Lin and I are fine with anything!" After saying that, Xia Lin tugged at Qi Shang's arm, and the prickly young man who was about to say something more shut up.
Qi Shang's father also deliberately said, "Honey, it's already very kind of us to bring these two kids here. Don't ask them. I think all your suggestions just now were great. We can go to one place each day."
Finally, Qi Shang's mother was appeased. Xia Lin and Qi Shang's father exchanged a look and sighed wearily. This mother - son pair!
They had a great time during the half - month vacation abroad. This country was indeed much more open towards homosexuality. At least outside, Xia Lin dared to hold hands with Qi Shang openly.
However, there was one thing that bothered Xia Lin and enraged Qi Shang.
