CH 19

Lu Xun followed Ye Yao into the high school and lamented as he watched.

“Do you remember when the head teacher used to come here to catch young lovers, the scene, it was quite exciting.” Lu Xun reminisces, “You and I would just stand on the sidelines and watch the fun, we couldn’t be caught anyway.”

Ye Yao High School has no secluded setting like a grove, but there is a fountain pool that has water but never spouts, and with the lights left on all year round, couples staying here love to date in the evenings.

Because it was cool here, Ye Yao and Lu Xun would stand in the breeze and chat with each other before returning to the dormitory after the evening study, and we witnessed many arrests by the head teacher in the process.

“He actually suspected us.” Ye Yao smiled, “It’s strange, I don’t know what he was thinking.”

“That’s right, how come two girls hugging and holding hands together don’t see him suspecting, he’s discriminating!” Lu Xun had a heavenly expression of injustice.

The school gates were not closed and a few teenagers slipped in to use the school’s basketball court for a game of football, and the scent of a fast-paced game on the far court reached Ye Yao’s ears.

I don’t know who took advantage of the winter holidays and made a swing under a big tree, which looked quite sturdy but was only wide enough for one person.

Ye Yao looks at the swing and then at Lu Xun.

“Tired of walking?” Lu Xun smelled the string, “Sit down I’m not tired, I can still help you push at the back.”

“What’s the matter with just me sitting alone,” Ye Yao said softly, “forget it, find somewhere else to sit together.”

“No one cleans the other places, they’re all dirty, but this is the only clean one.” A wicked smile appeared on Lu Xun’s face, “Actually, it’s not like two people can’t sit on this swing together, it’s up to us Ye students to decide if we want to.”

Lu Xun said, taking a stride and sitting on the swing first, then patting his lap and inviting Ye Yao: “Come on Ye students, the VIP seat is comfortable and flexible, and there is a premium 36 degree thermostat to keep you warm all winter long!

Lu Xun was expertly talking trollishly, he wasn’t really trying to steal from Ye Yao, as was the usual procedure, Ye Yao would probably punch him when he heard what he was saying and he would take advantage of this by pretending to run away and give Ye Yao his place.

“Yeah.” Ye Yao said.

” Brother Ye is still great, my little brother is willing to be a good friend – what did you say?” Lu Xun trailed off.

Ye Yao takes a few steps forward and sits directly on the VIP seat.

Lu Xun was dumbfounded.

Lu Xun is a bit frazzled and finally reaches around Ye Yao’s waist and wraps his arms tightly around his.

Ye Yao is at least a 5’8″ adult, he is not that light, but Lu Xun is afraid that Ye Yao will be blown away by the winter wind and he won’t let go.

Lu Xun’s legs on the ground are stretched and the swing slowly starts to sway.

With the winter breeze in his face, Ye Yao slowly leaned against Lu Xun.

Lu Xun, who had just been very articulate, lost his speech at this moment.

Lu Xun feels wonderfully warm and fragrant in his arms, separated by several thick winter clothes.

“Here’s two bucks to push the swing for ten minutes.” Ye Yao opened his mouth again.

If such a provocative remark had come from someone else, Lu Xun would probably have beaten him up so badly that he would have gone around him for three years, but it’s a different story when Ye Yao says it.

Ye Yao speaks to him with such an intimate tone.

The corners of Lu Xun’s mouth rose in a genuine smile, “I can’t charge you for this, it’s free for your guests.”

*

Ye Yao and Lu Xun went home satisfied after a round of fun.

Ye Yao was given the go-ahead and had a great time.

It’s true that once you’ve put your worries aside, you can do whatever you want! And he doesn’t even have to worry about getting deeper and deeper into it, because he can start pulling his leg after this month! Peaceful.

A happy Ye Yao goes to take a shower while Lu Xun makes the bed for the two of them to sleep in and makes the rounds of Ye Yao’s room.

Where had all his stuff been put and how had it been cleaned up so well?

Lu Xun took off his coat and put it on the chair Ye Yao usually sits on. He set up two pillows on the bed and leaned them against each other, which gave him some satisfaction.

After packing up the bed, Lu Xun’s eyes shift to the bedside table and he frowns again.

He had to look at it several times before he fell asleep. He used to have to look at it several times before he fell asleep!

Of course, this was all a high school problem and since college he has learned to sleep with Ye Yao in his arms, so there is no need to look at the group photo.

But it’s still important. It’s a photo of him and Ye Yao, so how can he put it away?

When Ye Yao came out of the shower, he saw Lu Xun crouched at the head of the bed, looking like a large lost dog at his back.

“What are you doing crouching there?” Ye Yao wondered.

Lu Xun turned back to me with a sly look in his eyes, “If I remember correctly, there should be one thing here.”

“Then you’re misremembering.” Ye Yao said.

“……” Lu Xun didn’t play dumb either, “Why did you take the picture down? That’s the fruit of our youth.”

Ye Yao was prepared for this and replied slowly, “I found the shots too ugly to like.”

Lu Xun didn’t know what was so ugly about it, but Ye Yao looked great in any period, but since Ye Yao had said so, there was nothing he could do.

“So take a new one?” Lu Xun asks.

Ye Yao thought about it and nodded once, “Yes, keep it as a souvenir, go and take a shower first, and shoot afterwards.”

Lu Xun rushes into the bathroom, where he washes and composes the photo for later.

This isn’t just any photo, it’s in the bedroom with him and Ye Yao both in their pyjamas, which means a lot!

They were photographed together, mostly side by side or with his arm around Ye Yao’s shoulders, and without exception, all on location.

What does the location of this photo shoot say? It means that they are getting closer, hence the Ye Yao swinging on his lap.

Lu Xun has never paid much attention to poses or anything like that, so it was a bit difficult for him to come up with an impromptu photo pose for the group.

He searched for friends’ photo poses, and probably because big data searched for his gender as male, all that popped up at first were male friends’ photos together, which summed up simply – you look awesome, I look awesome, together we are the double king of pussies descending into the world.

“Nuts, who wants to take such a thing.” Lu Xun cursed in a low voice and searched anew for [How to take a group photo of best friends who are close].

There is a change in what comes out this time, with more emphasis on duo interactions than the previous photos of playing it cool and playing it cool. Like clashing fists with each other, holding hands and wrenching wrists, or moments of collision captured on the pitch that

Lu Xun’s eyebrows furrowed as he felt that something was missing from these photos, something that did not satisfy.

He needed something better, something more intimate, something that could be taken between ordinary friends, something he didn’t want to do with Ye Yao.

Unable to find a suitable photo and having dawdled in the bathroom long enough, Lu Xun turned off the hot water and dressed, frowning as he stepped out of the shower.

Ye Yao was lying on his side on the bed with his head propped up in one hand, playing with his phone, when he looked up at Lu Xun, who had stepped out of the shower, and waved.

Lu Xun walks over to Ye Yao, who reaches out and fixes Lu Xun’s clothes that have been carried down his trousers in his haste.

His movements are unhurried, his thin white fingers tracing Lu Xun’s abs through a thin layer of pyjamas.

“What’s the hurry,” Ye Yao looked at Lu Xun from the bottom up, his pale red lips smiling, “afraid I’ll run away?”

Lu Xun’s breath caught, and almost as soon as Ye Yao’s fingers crossed his abs, his blood poured out.

Twenty year old men can walk around deformed, Ye Yao saw no surprise: “How long is it since you handled yourself and gave you half an hour to go to the toilet?”

“No, it’s a waste of time.” Lu Xun frowns back, “To take a new picture with you.”

He’s not happy about losing half an hour of his time with Ye Yao for nothing.

Lu Xun went to the other side of the bed, got under the covers and leaned against Ye Yao.

He is not afraid of the cold and his body temperature is always high in winter, so when he goes to bed he automatically and consciously seeks out Ye Yao’s feet and keeps them warm.

“Have you thought about how to shoot?” Ye Yao asks.

“No.” Lu Xun unlocks his own phone and shows Ye Yao his search history, “None of them shoot well.”

“I’ve searched on other apps, feel free to see if you like any of these.” Ye Yao puts his phone in front of Lu Xun.

Lu Xun looks up.

How should you take a photo with your best friend? Check it out!

Accompanied by a picture of two lovely girls with their heads touching, one cheek to the other, smiling happily.

Almost at first sight, Lu Xun decided on this pose.

He hasn’t …… and Ye Yao posted like this.

If it’s him and Ye Yao ……

“Like this?” Ye Yao smiled softly.

Lu Xun took a deep breath and controlled his urge to pounce on Ye Yao and hold his close, groping for Ye Yao’s hand, he said in a dumb voice, ” Ye Yao ……”

Lu Xun watched as Ye Yao’s head was held at an angle, and the next moment he smelt the familiar aroma of shower gel.

The soft, smooth cheeks pressed against his cheeks, each rubbing between them felt like it carried a hundred thousand volts of electricity.

Lu Xun’s head exploded and all thoughts were easily taken away.
