The Blind and the Deaf - Chapter 20

Three days passed quickly. Mr. Miao nervously loosened his collar when he came to Xiao Zhang’s door again. He had worn his best jacket and polished his shoes. He glanced in the mirror on his way out the door, hmmm, rare, quite the little boss.

Xiao Zhang had already talked to his mother about Mr. Miao’s dinner invitation. When it comes to dinner, Mr. Miao originally wanted to pick a better restaurant to show his sincerity. But Zhang’s hometown is so big that there is no restaurant that he likes. Mr. Miao decided to do it himself, brought a few cooked dishes, and bought some more vegetables to prepare for the past.

The door opened, Zhang mother said with a smile, “Xiao Miao, come in, why are you so polite and buy things again?” Mr. Miao smiled doggedly, “I should, I should.”

When he entered the door, Mr. Miao specially observed Zhang’s mother and felt that she was in a very general mood today, and was not as enthusiastic about him as she was on the previous two occasions. Mr. Miao felt that he had lived for a long time, but now he felt a bit like an elementary school student waiting for an exam. Alas, life is unpredictable, put aside half a year ago, he did not think he would meet Xiao Zhang ah.

As soon as Mr. Miao put his things in the kitchen, Xiao Zhang touched over and stood in front of the kitchen door, shouting, “Mr. Meow.”

Mr. Miao turned around and saw Xiao Zhang holding the door, eyes closed, confused, listening to his movement. He was wearing a white wool sweater he had bought for him, with two straps hanging from the front of his hood, stringing two white fluffy balls, and holding a rechargeable handwarmer bag, which he had also bought for him.

Mr. Miao greeted him and said, “I’m here.”
Xiao Zhang found his way to him and broke into a smile, “Mr. Miao, I’ve come to keep you busy.”

Mr. Meow was motivated to make this meal. He suddenly figured out that regardless of whether the matter of coming out of the closet was difficult or not, it was a hurdle that he and Xiao Zhang had to cross, a traffic light on the road of life that could not be detoured. If the other party lights up the red light, he can only wait. Because he very much wanted to hold Xiao Zhang’s hand. Since he recognized his own sexual orientation, this is the first time he fell in love. To be shameless, this was his first love.

While serving the food on the table, Zhang’s mom was watching the TV in a daze. She’s really in an average mood, Mr. Miao thought, smilingly inviting her to the table. He helped Zhang to his seat, brought a small bowl, picked out some of his favorite dishes, and carefully removed the bones. Then he brought the chopsticks to his hand and guided him to touch his own bowl. These days, Mr. Miao did this before every meal, the two had a tacit understanding, they knew exactly what they liked to eat and how much they wanted to eat.

This meal was unexpectedly quiet. Mr. Miao was so nervous that he was a little unable to eat. He purposely ate a little slower and watched as Zhang’s mom and Xiao Zhang finished eating and put down their chopsticks before he also put down his chopsticks. He took a deep breath, looked at Mama Zhang seriously, and said, “Auntie, I have an ungrateful request.”

Mama Zhang wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said, “I don’t agree.”
