Xu Chan lowered her head, as if thinking about something, then raised her head and gritted her teeth: "Brother Qiao, I'll tell you, but you must keep it a secret."
Xu Chan was extremely reluctant to let Qiao Liang think that she had that kind of relationship with Zhao Qiang, but she also knew that if she didn't want Qiao Liang to misunderstand, she had to tell the truth.
"If you don't believe me, don't say it." Qiao Liang looked away and said coldly.
"Of course I believe you. I know that if I don't tell you, you will definitely misunderstand that Zhao Qiang and I have a relationship. So, in order to prevent you from misunderstanding, I decided to tell you. It's just that this involves Zhao Qiang's highly personal privacy.
Please also ask Brother Qiao not to tell anyone." Xu Chan said sincerely.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but wonder, what kind of privacy does Zhao Qiang have in Xu Chan's hands?
Qiao Liang turned to look at Xu Chan: "Just tell me, I won't tell anyone."
Xu Chan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Zhao Qiang is GAY."
"What?" Qiao Liang was stunned and looked straight at Xu Chan.
Xu Chan nodded affirmatively: "No one knows this, not even his family. Only I know it. I knew it when I was in high school. He has a very good relationship with me, but he only regards me as a very good friend, but he doesn't have any
That kind of meaning."
Qiao Liang looked at Xu Chan in confusion. It turned out that Zhao Qiang was in this situation. It turned out that he had this kind of sexual orientation. She was with him every day without even realizing it.
This is understandable. In a secular society and in the face of traditional concepts, Zhao Qiang's sexual orientation is not accepted by the public, so he tries his best to conceal it.
No wonder Zhao Qiang has never found a girlfriend, that's why.
Xu Chan continued: "Because of this situation, Zhao Qiang has always had a low self-esteem and was afraid of being known and ridiculed. On the one hand, he has been looking for various reasons not to have a girlfriend. On the other hand, faced with the urging and pressure of his family,
There was pressure and he was in pain inside."
Qiao Liang suddenly sympathized with Zhao Qiang. It turned out that this guy had such a big secret hidden in his heart. This was indeed a highly private matter and must be kept secret.
Xu Chan continued: "Actually, I sympathize with Zhao Qiang's situation and want to help him. I have privately consulted a psychiatrist. The doctor said that most of his conditions are innate and not what he intended."
Qiao Liang nodded: "Actually, this should be respected and tolerated."
Xu Chan also nodded: "That said, reality is reality after all. In fact, people with this kind of sexual orientation are not uncommon around us. It's just that they are afraid of society's secular concepts and dare not show it publicly. They hide it deeply.
It is extremely difficult to find out. Some people even get married and have children, but their married life is in vain..."
Having said this, Xu Chan stopped and sighed deeply, with a look of pain on his face.
Hearing what Xu Chan said and looking at Xu Chan's expression, Qiao Liang was a little surprised. Xu Chan lived in a small county, how could she know so much, and her expression looked a little painful.
Then Qiao Liang thought that this was the Internet age, and Xu Chan would naturally know this as long as she explored with her heart. And her look of pain should be for Zhao Qiang.
Qiao Liang was immediately moved and felt that Xu Chan was a good friend to Zhao Qiang.
"Xu Chan, thank you for your trust in me." Qiao Liang said.
Xu Chan smiled: "Brother Qiao, you are worthy of my trust."
"Don't worry, no one else will know what you told me tonight." Qiao Liang patted Xu Chan on the shoulder, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Xu Chan took the initiative to hold Qiao Liang's arm.
Qiao Liang did not refuse.
Once he knew the true relationship between Xu Chan and Zhao Qiang, and Zhao Qiang's situation, and being with Xu Chan like this, Qiao Liang felt relaxed and no longer felt uneasy and apologetic.
When they were approaching the hotel, Qiao Liang patted Xu Chan's hand, and Xu Chan took her hand out of Qiao Liang's arm knowingly.
Qiao Liang stopped and looked at Xu Chan: "Are you happy tonight?"
Xu Chan nodded: "I'm happy. I haven't been this happy for a long time. Brother Qiao, thank you very much."
"Thank each other. If you accompany me to watch movies and take a walk, I should also thank you."
Xu Chan smiled softly, looked deeply at Qiao Liang, suddenly stood up on tiptoes, hugged Qiao Liang's neck, and quickly kissed Qiao Liang on the mouth.
Qiao Liang was startled, then Xu Chan let go, with a bit of shyness on her face, then turned around and walked quickly to the door of the hotel.
Looking at Xu Chan's beautiful figure, Qiao Liang smacked her lips. It tasted good. She didn't expect this girl to be so bold and proactive.
Watching Xu Chan enter the hotel, Qiao Liang thought about it for a moment, then slowly entered the hotel and returned to the VIP building.
After going upstairs, Qiao Liang walked to Anzhe's door and listened for a while with his ear against the crack of the door, but there was no sound.
It seems that Ren Quan is gone and An Zhe is resting.
Qiao Liang also went back to his room to rest.
Lying on the bed, Qiao Liang looked at the dark ceiling in a daze. This time in Huangyuan, there was a lot of ambiguity. First with Xiao Tao the night before, then with Wu Huiwen last night, and again with Xu Chan tonight.
It's just that these are just ambiguities and there is no real solution. This makes Qiao Liang slightly regretful, but still happy.
In the darkness, Qiao Liang laughed silently...
The next morning, Qiao Liang was having breakfast with An Zhe when he received a call from Qin Chuan.
"Xiao Qiao, will Secretary An return to Jiangzhou this morning?"
Qiao Liang looked at An Zhe: "Secretary An, Secretary Qin asked you if you will go back to Jiangzhou this morning?"
An Zhe stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the phone."
"Secretary Qin, please wait a moment, Secretary An wants to talk to you." Qiao Liang then handed the phone to An Zhe. An Zhe pressed speakerphone, put the phone on the table, and continued to eat, "Secretary Qin
Sir, is there something wrong?"
Qin Chuan said: "Secretary An, if you can go back to Jiangzhou in the morning, according to the arrangements for the city leaders to visit before the holiday, I plan to visit the city's veteran cadres in the afternoon."
"Is there any more content to visit the county?"
"Yes, according to the division of labor of the Standing Committee, you will also go to Yangshan to visit employees in need, and to Sanjiang to visit old revolutionaries and old branch leaders..."
"Then I will go directly from Huangyuan to Yangshan today, and then go to Sanjiang tomorrow." An Zhe interrupted Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then said tactfully: "Secretary An, when do you plan to visit the veteran cadres? Today is the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and when you come back from Sanjiang, it will be the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and the next day is New Year's Eve."
Qin Chuan's arrangement is that Anzhe will visit veteran cadres this afternoon, and then go to Yangshan and Sanjiang tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If time is too tight, he may not even go to Sanjiang. After all, veteran cadres are important, and it would be too late and too hasty to visit again close to New Year's Eve.
It also seems disrespectful to veteran cadres.
Anzhe thought for a moment: "Veteran cadres are very important. We cannot delay visiting them. Let's arrange for other members of the Standing Committee to go."
Qiao Liang was stunned for a while. An Zhe had been a bit neglectful of them at the last tea party for veteran cadres, so he pushed back again this time.
Qin Chuan was also stunned: "Secretary An, is this appropriate?"
"Why is it inappropriate? Is it true that only veteran cadres are important, while needy workers and veteran revolutionary supporters are not important?" Anzhe asked rhetorically.
Qin Chuan chuckled and thought to himself, confused, it would be better if you don't go and let Luo Fei go. This good opportunity has been taken by Luo Fei again.
Qin Chuan then said: "Then I will rush to Yangshan to meet you at noon."
As usual, when the municipal party committee secretary is dispatched, he is usually accompanied by the secretary-general. There is nothing wrong with what Qin Chuan said.
An Zhe said: "You have a lot of things to do in that stall, so don't bother following me, I can do it myself."
"Oh, okay then." Qin Chuan said.
An Zhe hung up the phone, returned the phone to Qiao Liang, and then said: "After dinner, first go to the Provincial Party Committee Family Home, and then go to Yangshan."
Qiao Liang blinked, wondering why An Zhe was going to the Provincial Party Committee Family Home.
