The tall, handsome congressman came out

Chapter 40

"On the 15th, the Nuorilan State government had a heated discussion on the legalization of marijuana. The proposal proposes that the state government should allow each adult to possess a maximum of 30 grams of dry marijuana. Supporters said that this move aims to further reduce youth Potential exposure to drug trafficking. No progress has been made at this meeting."

Nuo Rilan Satellite TV's morning news broadcast was playing on the TV, and Cheng Shen and Yan Zian were sitting at the dining table, having breakfast.

Yesterday afternoon's excitement directly transformed into intense bed affairs at night, but Cheng Shen had just finished his appendectomy, so he could only play around the edges.Even so, when I wake up in the morning, I feel sore all over.

"I'm so tired," Cheng Shen pursed his lips, pretending to be a groundhog, and looked at Yan Zian innocently, "I don't know what will happen when I go to work today."

Yan Ziyan picked up a strawberry, stuffed it into Cheng Shen's mouth, and said indifferently: "You are the biggest in the city hall, what are you afraid of?"

Cheng Shen bit the strawberry, then licked Yan Zi'an's fingers, and said vaguely, "That's right."

The anchor on the TV continued to broadcast the news: "According to relevant news, there may be a large amount of energy reserves underground in Sisheng Village, Yangyue District, Huaren City. The specific reserves and energy sources have not yet been clarified."

"The reporter contacted Nuorilan State University, who said that they are still investigating whether there are shale oil and gas reserves in this area. Once confirmed, it will be reported to the state government immediately, and the government will decide whether to mine."

Yan Rui stared at the TV screen, frowning tightly, without saying a word.The secretary sat beside her, nervously daring not to vent her breath.

The announcer said: "Earlier, a foreign-funded enterprise intended to purchase land ownership in Sisheng Village and planned to build a factory. The reporter connected to the secretary of the mayor, and the secretary said that this project will be suspended indefinitely."

"Crack!" Yan Rui slammed the document in his hand onto the table, bowed his head wearily, and rubbed his temples.

The secretary was silent beside him, looking down at the ground.

After a while, Yan Rui waved his hand and said, "Notify PAC and return the money to Jianxin Group."

"Sir, Jianxin Group donated in the name of a social welfare organization, and no one can actually find out..." Before the secretary could finish speaking, Yan Rui raised his head and interrupted him.

"If things can't be done, the money must be returned," Yan Rui said sternly, "Anything can be done if you make others anxious."

The secretary said, "Yes! I'll do it right away!"

"Also, Zi'an must be taught a lesson," Yan Rui said, "For Cheng Shen's photo, contact the newspaper as soon as possible."

Before the secretary could respond, the next piece of news began to be broadcast on TV: "Yesterday afternoon, a debate jointly organized by our station and Nuorilan State University was held as scheduled. Candidates are invited to participate, and they are…”

"Zi'an has gone too," the secretary said.

Yan Rui hummed, and was attracted by the news screen.

"...Mr. Yan Zi'an's speech won the warmest applause from the audience. You can see from the screen..."

The secretary smiled: "It's really a tiger father but no dog!"

Yan Rui still had no expression on his face, but his mood seemed to calm down a bit.

The announcer said in a straight voice: "During the speech, Mr. Yan Zi'an officially announced his homosexuality and confessed to his lover, and his lover is the newly appointed Mayor of Huaren City, Mr. Cheng Shen .”

secretary:"!!!"

Why did God treat me like this, the secretary wailed in his heart, this day is really going to be impossible.

An interview with Yan Zian after the meeting began to be played on the TV, and Cheng Shen stood shoulder to shoulder with him.Yan Ziyan said with a smile: "The Republican Party generally holds a conservative attitude on the issue of same-sex marriage, but we conservatives support individual freedom."

Yan Ziyan and Cheng Shen looked at each other, and continued: "Same-sex couples are eager to get married, eager to have this protection and rights, this is a kind of respect for marriage, and will not pose a threat to society..."

The camera cut to the announcer: "Mr. Yan Ziyan is the first Republican politician to openly admit his homosexuality." The announcer looked at the invited commentator and said, "Do you think this means the attitude of the Republican Party towards same-sex marriage? , is in a divisive situation?"

"Yes, while a majority of Republicans still say they cannot believe the rules of traditional marriage will be challenged, the fact is that more and more..."

The TV screen suddenly went out, and Yan Rui put down the remote control.The office was extremely quiet, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

The secretary didn't dare to say a word, and couldn't fathom Yan Rui's mood.

After a long, long time, after a suffocating silence, Yan Rui said in a deep voice, "I won't post the photos for now."

The secretary said good-bye cautiously.

Yan Rui asked again: "When is the equal rights referendum?"

"It was after the midterm elections, in June."

Yan Rui nodded, and simply said yes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yan Ziyan and Cheng Shen were walking through the corridor of the city hall, and the passing colleagues looked sideways and started talking in whispers.Yan Ziyan was so thick-skinned that he didn't seem to realize it, and continued to tell Cheng Shen: "I learned a lot of ideas from my father."

Cheng Shen felt uncomfortable being watched, and his voice was low: "For example?"

Yan Ziyan snorted, and slightly raised his eyebrows towards Cheng Shen: "Honey, remember what I said before - I have no position, where is the vote, where is my position?"

Cheng Shen said expressionlessly, "I'm deeply impressed."

Yan Ziyan smiled, pressed the elevator button, and said, "This is also his usual style."

"So, now that a referendum is imperative, polls show that 60% of the people plan to vote in favor," Yan Zian said. "Then he may also plan to change his position."

"?!" Cheng Shen immediately widened his eyes, and was about to say something when the elevator door opened.

As soon as the people in the elevator saw them, their eyes lit up like searchlights, and they automatically vacated the middle seats.Cheng Shen didn't want to go in awkwardly, Yan Zian patted him on the shoulder, and the two stood together in the center of the searchlight, so embarrassed that people couldn't breathe.

Cheng Shen stared at the constantly changing numbers, and everyone around him looked at Cheng Shen.Silence, only silence, if the gaze had substance, Cheng Shen felt that he would be seen losing his hair.

Early baldness.

"Ding!" After finally getting out of the elevator, Cheng Shen rushed out immediately, taking a few deep breaths greedily.

Yan Ziyan looked at his blushing face, laughed lowly, and said in a low voice, "If we go to the bathroom together now, guess what they will think?"

Cheng Shen glared at him, but didn't answer.

Why didn't I find out before that this person still has such a sullen potential.It seems that what is hidden in the cabinet is not only sexual orientation, but also Yan Zian's self that has been suppressed.

Before entering the office, Cheng Shen suddenly turned his head and said, "Oh, by the way, you just said that Yan Rui would change his position?"

Yan Ziyan nodded, and entered his office with Cheng Shen.

"But isn't he homophobic..." Cheng Shen hesitated as he sat on the sofa.

"Yeah, he just changed his public position, not his real thoughts." Yan Zi'an laughed and explained patiently, "The two are completely different. In fact, there are indeed divisions within the Republican Party. Now that the Liberal Party occupies the majority of seats in the Senate, there are internal rumors that we are too conservative and have lost votes. I guess he may have had various ideas.”

Cheng Shen suddenly understood the twists and turns. Trying to stand on the side of the majority is a politician's winning strategy.Convincing the majority is more difficult than simply being with the majority.

But in the campaign, the attitude towards lgbt is only a small aspect. There are many more macro issues, and we cannot directly rely on this to make a conclusion.

Yan Zian's cell phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, Mom."

"Yes, did you see that?" Yan Zian smiled, and glanced at Cheng Shen, "Yes, he is very nice. Do you want to meet? Wait until you are busy."

Cheng Shen's rabbit ears pricked up, staring at Yan Zian.Yan Ziyan shook his head amusedly, and pressed the speakerphone.

"Father, what's your reaction?"

Yan Ziyan's mother's voice was very gentle: "He went to the office early in the morning, and I haven't seen him yet. Oh, by the way, what happened to the previous land?"

Yan Zian said: "It's nothing, it's just that it can't be approved now, and suddenly it is reported that there are energy reserves underground."

"Then your father..."

Yan Zian hurriedly said: "He probably doesn't know, the university has been suppressing the news before."

"That's it," Yan's mother said, "if you come out, will it affect your campaign funds?"

"Mom, everyone is not as strict as you think about this matter now."

Yan's mother laughed softly: "Then how are you doing recently? Are you busy?"

"Fortunately, the mid-term elections will begin next month, and we will enter the final sprint."

"Take good care of yourself. Your body is the most important thing." She instructed, "Bring your boyfriend to your house for dinner when you have time. But your father... Forget it, let's talk about it."

Yan Ziyan hummed, chatted for a few more words, and hung up the phone on the pretext of work.

"So Auntie hasn't cared much about you, and Yan Rui is very strict?" Cheng Shen asked in a low voice.

Yan Ziyan nodded and said helplessly, "Yes, but it doesn't matter, I am who I am, and he will accept it."

Cheng Shen patted his face lightly, and said angrily, "Come on!"

Yan Ziyan was overjoyed, hugged Cheng Shen and kissed him, rubbed his hands vigorously behind his back, and said, "My husband has gone to work, and he has the right to speak after he has made achievements."

After returning to the deputy mayor's office, after a while, Luo Jiajin came in to look for him and said, "Brother Yan, the people from PAC said that Mr. Yan Rui wants to return the funds to Jianxin Group."

"Okay, Jiajin, please keep an eye on this matter recently. Jianxin, if there is anything unusual, please let me know." Yan Zian said seriously.

In the sprint period before the mid-term elections, Yan Zian was as busy as a spinning top, giving speeches, public welfare, going to the mountains and the countryside, TV interviews... The time in the schedule is not in units of 5 minutes, even contacting xxx at 10:42 All this time is out.

After a month of no sex life or free time, finally, the mid-term election voting has begun. Chapter 41

Everything is going on the right track, and having a sense of control over your life is a state of ease.Waking up in the morning, seeing Cheng Shen sleeping next to him, breathing softly and shallowly, Yan Zian suddenly felt that winning or losing didn't seem to be the most important thing.

At six o'clock, the morning light was dim, and the light in the bedroom was dim, and Cheng Shen was huddled in his arms.He didn't know what dream he had, his brows were slightly frowned, like a kid who didn't get any candy.

My arm is numb from the pillow, but I still can't bear to take it out, and I have to sleep in my arms every night, otherwise my heart will not be at ease.

In fact, these are all different from the "normal track" he expected. There is no Cheng Shen, no coming out, and no so-called "deviant" on that road, but it is not so colorful.At that time, life was too fulfilling, but it was completely different from the feeling that my heart is full now.

Ever since I had you, my heart has always been settled.

Yan Ziyan carefully pulled out his arm, the movement was very light and gentle, Cheng Shen seemed to feel it, and went straight into his arms, holding the person and not letting go.

"Baby, I'm going to work. I'm going to various polling stations today." Yan Ziyan leaned into his ear and said softly.

Cheng Shen hummed twice in his dream, but hugged him even tighter as if playing tricks.

Yan Ziyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then I'll put you in my pocket and take you away."

"Hmm..." Cheng Shen rubbed Yan Zi'an's bare chest and woke up a little, "Then take it away, I'm very light."

Yan Zian stretched out his hand to touch his ribs back and forth, and said distressedly: "You're too thin, I haven't looked at you recently, and I can't eat well."

Cheng Shen's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes, still hazy with sleepiness.He is obviously not thin at all, that is to say, Yan Ziyan wants to feed him into a piglet every day.

The time to see each other has indeed been much less recently. Yan Ziyan leaves early and returns late, and there are always various activities to participate in. He often comes back after Cheng Shen has already fallen asleep, and sometimes he simply takes root in the office. He has a special The team in charge of the campaign spends more time with those staff members.

"I miss you a little bit," Cheng Shen blinked and said pitifully, "Could you just relax tonight?"

Yan Ziyan didn't speak, just picked him up with a smile, and the two of them faced the mirror and started brushing their teeth side by side.

While gurgling, Cheng Shen said vaguely, "I want to see the scene."

Yan Zian patted his head and said, "No, good boy, you are the mayor, so avoid suspicion."

Cheng Shen was instantly sluggish, and let out an "oh".

Yan Ziyan: "Let's watch the live broadcast at home, okay?"

Cheng Shen nodded, followed Yan Zian like a candy to change clothes, had breakfast, and sent him to the car again.Looking at the time, it was only 7 o'clock.

Cheng Shen lay on the bed, wagging the rabbit's tail, unable to fall asleep no matter how hard he tried, he simply turned on the computer and read the news aimlessly.

Enter the three words Yanzieucalyptus into the search engine, and a series of results popped up.Sure enough, it was all about his coming out. According to news, if Yan Ziyan is elected, he will become the first Republican congressman to come out publicly, which will also be a milestone in history.

Milestone?It's a bit exaggerated... Cheng Shen continued to look down expressionlessly.The news also commented that in this mid-term election, there is the first candidate running as an immigrant, the first woman with a lower body disability, the first candidate without a higher education...these firsts , are of great significance, symbolizing the whole country's attitude of becoming more and more enlightened, more free and equal.

That's great, Cheng Shen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He has always been unwilling to think about the meaning of democracy, because in his opinion, no matter what the name is, whether it is democracy or dictatorship, it is the rule of the minority against the majority. rule.It's like "Animal Farm", you overthrow one, you elect one, and the result?

Human nature weaves a web, and when you stand up and struggle, you are still circling in circles.

But it seems that democracy... still makes sense?These "firsts" made Cheng Shen vaguely see its meaning.

Cheng Shen opened Twitter again and searched for Yan Zian's name, but he was immediately stunned.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Yan

Kachacha, Cheng Shen was struck by the lightning.

"I can't look at pictures of Yanzian anymore... because of my legs, they're going to spread out."

Rumbling, five thunders struck the top.

"Yan Ziyan! I love you! Your lips are too sexy, are you really gay? What a pity, straight girls really have no chance?"

……

That's my husband ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahCheng Shen was so angry that he wanted to report all these tweets coveting his husband.Why is Yan Ziyan so recruiting? It's so annoying!

He was burning with anger, but he couldn't stop scrolling down, the more he looked, the angrier he became.

Finally, he stopped self-torture, and angrily opened Yan Zian's Twitter homepage, which he had never looked at carefully.

Yan Ziyan's tweets are about some recent activities, which cannot be more official.The most recent one is the canvassing content sent yesterday:

"Vote, for this best era, for a better era!"

The sky was already completely lit up, and the sunlight shone through the gauze curtains, illuminating the bedroom brightly.Cheng Shen thought of the day when Yan Ziyan was on stage, even if he took off all the fan filters, it was the most exciting speech he had ever seen.

Yan Ziyan has done a lot of things recently, visited schools, communicated with empty-nesters, and discussed the real needs of the working class with trade unions... Cheng Shen knows all these things, and Yan Ziyan will contact him every day to talk about his itinerary , own feelings.But what he saw through the photo is another look——

He is always the brightest one in the crowd.

Cheng Shen turned on the live broadcast of the TV station, and the citizens entered the polling station one after another. The reporter interviewed a few randomly, and the candidates they supported were different, and they all gave a set of reasons.

"I support Fan Kaizheng." A familiar figure suddenly appeared on the screen, smiling mischievously.

The reporter then asked why, and Liao Jiafan turned cold and asked, "Why? Everything he said is right, don't you think so?" The vicious look seemed that as long as the reporter said no, he would Got into a fight with others.

Cheng Shen found it both funny and envious.He really wanted to be by Yan Zian's side and witness such an important moment in his career together.He likes Yan Zian even more than those who open their mouths on Twitter, but he can't just say that on a public platform.

Cheng Shen spent in front of the TV until noon, and finally made up his mind.He went to the bathroom for a long time, put on the most low-key black hoodie, tidied up, and went out.

Today, Yan Ziyan will go to various polling stations to get acquainted again. In the afternoon, he will go to a rally and wait for the final news with his supporters.

Cheng Shen put on a mask and hat, went straight to the rally in the city center, found a coffee shop in a roadside shopping mall, sat and waited.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Zian sent a message, saying, "Baby, the voting is over, and we have to wait for the results with everyone. What are you doing?"

Cheng Shen lay down on the table and typed: "I'm thinking of you."

"Me too," Yan Ziyan replied in seconds, "I just want to stay with you and wait for the result with you."

Cheng Shen glanced out the window, the scene was full of people, it was very lively, Yan Zian had probably arrived.

He pursed his lips and smiled, thought for a while, and replied, "What time does it start?"

"After resting in the car for half an hour, I will talk later, and I don't want to talk anymore."

This period of time was really exhausting, the tired Yan Ziyan even acted coquettishly.Cheng Shen just thought it was funny, stood up and walked towards the rally, while sending a voice message: "Where is your car parked?"

Yan Ziyan called immediately: "Baby, are you here?"

"Well," Cheng Shen said, "I'm not obedient... How can I not be here at such an important time."

The car parked in the parking lot of a nearby park. Luo Jiajin picked up Cheng Shen outside the mall, took him into the car, and found an excuse to slip away.The partition screen of the rear seat has been put down, and the inside cannot be seen from the outside of the car. This is an absolutely private space.

"Secretary Luo is so discerning!" Cheng Shen said with emotion as he watched his leaving back.

Without saying a word, Yan Ziyan pulled him into his arms, lowered his head and sealed his lips.They hugged each other tightly, their lips and tongues were entwined tenderly, and there was a wordless affection in the carriage.

Let's talk about the votes later, there are more important things now.

Cheng Shen wanted to be kissed.First it was surgery, then Yan Ziyan was tired and had no time, they hadn't had it for more than a month, just a simple kiss, they couldn't think about it.He turned over and sat on Yan Ziyan's legs, unzipped Yan Ziyan's trousers, and took out the hard and hot thing.

"Baby..." Yan Zian kissed him almost obsessively, sliding down his waist with one hand, and protecting the back of his head with the other, lest he would end up sucking.

Cheng Shen rubbed his lips, and said vaguely: "I've got it all done..."

Yan Ziyan suffocated for breath, and pulled Cheng Shen's loose sweatpants with force, revealing a piece of white skin.He poked his fingers inside, and it was slippery inside, obviously prepared for it long ago.

Cheng Shen's breathing was hot and humid, he gently swung his crotch, and whispered: "Half an hour, it should be enough..."

"Do you want it so much?" Yan Ziyan put Cheng Shen's earlobe in his mouth, and asked while kissing, his voice was sticky, reaching Cheng Shen's ears, making his body even softer.

Cheng Shen let out a "hmm", and complained with some grievances: "Don't you want to?"

Yan Ziyan didn't answer him, but rubbed his round buttocks with one hand, lifted it up, and supported his hard and painful lower body with the other hand, and stabbed it straight in.
