The man who was taken away by the season

Chapter 5 5. Escape from the Western Hemisphere

The story is so bloody.Liu Nan's parents didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and they took Liu Nan away without even seeing Zhou Haihe.Maybe in their minds, Zhou Haihe is just a bad guy who brought their son down, and they wish they could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.Zhou Haihe thought to himself with a bitter face.

It was as if Liu Nan couldn't completely disregard his parents' wishes and forcefully stay with Zhou Haihe, and Zhou Haihe, a junior, couldn't leave his studies to find Liu Nan.Both of them have to face their own lives and shoulder their own responsibilities and expectations.Zhou Haihe felt powerless and unwilling for such two people, but he didn't know what he could do.

But not long after, someone came to give him a choice—Liu Nan's father came to see Zhou Haihe.

"Liu Nan is on a hunger strike at home." Although the middle-aged man on the opposite side was dressed brightly, he looked tired. He must have had a hard time during this time.

"What?! He...how is he? He never said these things. He..." Zhou Haihe panicked for a while, but still asked himself to suppress his voice out of politeness.

"He's in the hospital now, and he's fine. It's just that he won't die of starvation if he doesn't eat for a few days." Father Liu sighed helplessly, "We plan to send him to the United States."

"America! When is he leaving? Uncle, I want to see him. Please! I'll just meet him, I..." Zhou Haihe grabbed Father Liu's hand directly, regardless of politeness or image.Only now did he realize his innocence. He used to think that as long as he was admitted to B University, he would be in the same school as him.I always thought that as long as I was with him, I would not be afraid of anything, but I didn't know until something happened that both of them were very powerless.There are too many things in the world that cannot be changed by hard work, no matter how hard you try.

"I know that your school also has quotas for recommendation to go to the United States. If you can get the quota, you can repeat it in the United States, and his mother and I don't care about anything." Father Liu glanced at the excited Zhou Haihe meaningfully. He continued, "It would be best for you to stay in the United States in the future. After all, foreign countries are more tolerant of you and better for your development."

After finishing speaking, he left without caring that Zhou Haihe was still in a daze.

Seeing the sudden turn of events, Zhou Haihe was still a little at a loss. He didn't know what Liu Nan had done these days in exchange for these compromises, but he cherished this hard-won opportunity very much.No matter what, he had to try before he could give up.Returning to school in a hurry, he went to the teacher immediately to find out about the recommendation to go to the United States.

Liu Nan's parents seem to have really stopped paying attention to their affairs. Although they still don't let Liu Nan leave home too far, they no longer organize their contact.The mobile phone was returned to Liu Nan the day Liu's father met Zhou Haihe, and they talked on the phone at night.Recently, both of them are preparing for going abroad.Liu Nan is better at saying that it is easy and convenient for him to prepare for going abroad, but it is really difficult for Zhou Haihe to compete for the hot recommendation spot of the school.

But also because of hope, Zhou Haihe actively cooperated with the school's requirements to provide various materials, and also participated in many test interviews.Although busy and tired, but thinking about the future, it seems that everything in front of me is not so great.Occasionally leave a message on the Internet and don't know when the other party will see it, but I feel very at ease, knowing that that person is there, knowing that each other is working hard for the future of the two, even if it is only myself, I will not be lonely.

At this time, Zhou Haihe hadn't come out to his family yet.

Of course, he hasn't mentioned that he is going to the United States. After all, he hasn't written a word yet, and he doesn't want his parents to worry about it.After what happened to Liu Nan, Zhou Haihe no longer had the courage to tell his parents about himself. He wanted to wait until he went to the United States and Liu Nan was stable, and then slowly infiltrated.I really don't want to go through the pain of choosing between my parents and my lover again, Zhou Haihe felt that he might be more timid than he thought.Now he just wants to confirm his quota to go to the United States as soon as possible, graduate with excellent grades, find a good job, and carefully plan his life for the next ten years before he has the capital to have a showdown with his parents.

Now is definitely not a good time.

Thank you Liu Nan.

If it wasn't because he was good enough, Zhou Haihe felt that he wouldn't work so hard.In the past three years at school, it was no easier for him to stand side by side with Liu Nan than in high school.And all the hard work paid off in the end.

When the head teacher contacted Zhou Haihe to go to the principal's office, he subconsciously knew that he had something to do this time.But still dare not tell Liu Nan, fearing that there will be no joy.After getting the recommendation letter, Zhou Haihe returned to the dormitory, and the first call he made was home.Zhou Haihe told his parents about being able to go abroad. It used to be a prestigious school. As long as the grades meet the standards, there will be a very considerable scholarship. After graduation, you can get diplomas from two schools and you can stay in the United States to continue your studies.Zhou Haihe also admitted that this is a very rare opportunity, but he would not have considered it before, after all, his family's economy is really not enough to cover the cost of going abroad, even after getting a high scholarship.And Liu Nan is also a factor that Zhou Haihe will definitely consider. The two of them have a planned future, and they will not give up because of these things.But now, the so-called plan cannot keep up with the changes.Two people who denied going abroad are now desperately trying to go abroad.

However, one thing that Zhou Haihe didn't consider at the time was that after he and Liu Nan separated completely, the Supreme Court of the United States announced that same-sex marriage in the United States was legal.

After arriving in the United States to arrange everything according to the school's arrangement, Zhou Haihe found that he could no longer contact Liu Nan.Phone calls, text messages, QQ, WeChat, email...all the ways to contact Liu Nan have been tried, but there is no news.Holding his breath in his heart, Zhou Haihe wanted to return home quickly, but he sat down again when he thought of his parents who had just passed the conversation.Then he tidied up the luggage he had just packed one by one, and put them back—he was just a child from an ordinary family, and his parents raised a lot of money to make his life and study easier; The teacher also helped a lot, and they all hope that he can learn something.

Zhou Haihe never gave up contacting Liu Nan, and worked hard to make money while busy with his studies. Firstly, although his parents gave it, but there were still a few years left, he didn’t want to increase the burden on the family. Every time I go back for a vacation, I always have to save some money by myself. The air ticket to fly halfway around the world is not cheap.But things didn't go as smoothly as planned. Anyway, in the end, Zhou Haihe didn't go back. He didn't go back to China for five years, and he continued to study in the United States after finishing college.He didn't make up his mind to take this opportunity to return to China until he finished his postgraduate study and the professor happened to have a project in China.

At that time, Zhou Haihe was already self-sufficient and did not need support from his family at all.When he was in college, Zhou Haihe still relied on his family to some extent. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place when he first arrived in the United States, and encountered too many things and blows. He was busy with his studies and did not have enough time to earn money to support himself.However, since he started graduate school, he has a high degree of freedom of time, and he has two years of buffer and study, and he has fully adapted to his life and made many friends.The saying of relying on friends when going out is not a joke. In a foreign country, the people who can help at critical moments are usually those who are not close friends.

After Zhou Haihe came to the United States, he seldom had close friendships with people, but people living in the world cannot avoid contact with their surroundings, so whether it is friends, classmates or roommates and teachers, there will always be interactions.Whether it is out of politeness, communication, or out of heart and sincerity, everyone will give each other some help and provide some opportunities.Zhou Haihe studied very well professionally, but he liked him very much, and because of various reasons, Zhou Haihe's later years were not too bad.

Perhaps, a blessing in disguise?

But Zhou Haihe hated this sentence very much.His blessing is not what he wants, and his disaster is not what he should encounter.
