Back at the Jiang family home, Madam Yu was sitting in her room thinking about what she is going to do with her son. No way was she going to let him be gay, it's not normal. She doesn't want her son to be called a cut-sleeve. Her reputation would be ruined if the people around her find out that her son is gay.

"What should I do?" said to herself

"Maybe I should put him in counseling, maybe that will set his mind straight. If it doesn't work then I'll make sure that he and that teacher don't ever see each other ever again," said Madam Yu

Meanwhile, Jiang Fengmian was thinking about what to do with his wife. He knew that she was going to do something stupid. He feared that she might just push her son away from her for good. He walked into Jiang Cheng's room, his son was sitting at his desk reading.

"Son."

Jiang Cheng looked up and placed down his book.

"Yes."

"I know that your mother is worried about you. But son, remember no matter what your mother does that I support you all the way."

"I know, I know that she loves me and wants what is best for me. But I'm 18 now, I can decide for myself who I should and shouldn't like. If she can't see that then I don't know what to do."

"If that time is to come, I'll be here."

"Thank you, father."

"Your welcome son."

Jiang Fengmian patted his son's shoulder before leaving. All they can do is hope for the best.

Back at Jiang Cheng, his phone started to vibrate. He looked at the caller ID, it was Lan Xichen. Jiang Cheng hurried and picked up the phone.

"Hey there," asked Xichen

"Hey," replied Jiang Cheng

"So what are you doing?"

"Just reading."

"What are you reading?"

"Tiānshǐ de méiguī" (I made this up, it says "the rose of the angel")

"Wow, didn't think you were into the romance books." Lan Xichen said

"Shut up."

Lan Xichen laughing on the other end.

"I miss you," said Lan Xichen

"You'll see me tomorrow."

"But I miss you now, I wish you were next to me."

"Lan Huan, you are so cheesy."

"Thank you, my ChengCheng."

"Ew, don't call me that HuanHuan."

They both started laughing.

"So, how is your mother?" asked Lan Huan

"I don't know, she still hasn't come out of her room yet."

"I'm sure she will come around."

"I hope so, I don't want her to hate me."

"She is your mother, I'm sure she won't hate you."

"Oh, you don't know her, she will find some way to hate me."

"Sigh, I wish I was there to hold you and comfort you."

"I wish too, hey; I need to go to sleep now. See you tomorrow Lan Huan."

"Good night Jiang Cheng, I love you."

"...I love you too." Jiang Cheng said feeling his face turn red

Jiang Cheng hung up the phone, he was smiling from ear to ear. He was really happy, nothing could make him sad tonight. He walked to his bed and laid down, he stared at the ceiling, wishing that tomorrow would come faster. He closed his eyes and he drifted off to sleep.
