Ye Yao is in tears.
How can a person be so stupid when he says he’s stupid?
Lu Xun is not a straight man, he knows that very well.
Lu Ming saw that Ye Yao didn’t believe him and became anxious, taking Ye Yao’s hand and talking faster: “I’m telling you the truth! He has a picture of the two of you on the bedside table!”
Ye Yao wasn’t surprised that a group photo at the head of the bed was routine for Lu Xun, but Lu Ming, a young man, obviously didn’t know that.
The naive young man was taken aback by how calm Ye Yao was, he felt that Ye Yao didn’t believe him at all and added details to add to his credibility, “It’s true, he was also knitting pink on it secretly-”
Lu Xun, who had answered the phone, suddenly opened the door and was furious at the sight: “What are you pulling and pulling for? Lu Ming, let go of me!”
Why is this man shaking his friend’s hand when he has no friends of his own?
Lu Xun took a big step forward and slapped Lu Ming’s hand away, warning, “Watch it, don’t think you can just touch people because you’re a patient, keep a normal social distance, do you understand?”
Lu Ming :”……”
Is it really that he doesn’t understand the world of straight men anymore?
Lu Ming pulled the covers over his head in pain to avoid looking at the pair of straight friends who confused him.

Lu Ming was accidentally injured and his plans to stay for a few more days were disrupted and he left not long afterwards.
Lu Xun was not blamed for Lu Ming’s accidental fall on the flat ground, and he watched Lu Ming leave with his arms around him, enjoying his own space with Ye Yao.
However, Lu Xun still holds a grudge when it comes to this matter, fearing that Ye Yao still wants to leave.
He pulled Ye Yao’s suitcase into his bedroom and after a few unsatisfactory searches, he finally put it next to the bed where he could reach it as soon as he reached for it.
“Just leave your luggage on my side for now, come to me when you want to get your things and I’ll get them for you.” Lu Xun said in a deep voice.
Ye Yao watched Lu Xun toss and turn from the back and said helplessly, “Why don’t you just hold it and sleep with it, can I really run away with the luggage in the middle of the night, do you think you are filming a domineering president’s runaway wife?”
Although Lu Xun may well become a bully in the future, he has nothing to do with his wife and is at best the second best friend of the bully.
Lu Xun immediately snapped back, “You’ve really studied it! With your learning ability, you must have studied all the escape routes in TV dramas! Anyway, leave your luggage with me first.”
Ye Yao : “……”
Good guesses, but unfortunately they were all wrong, he had no intention of running away now, no guessing next time.
Lu Xun was silent for a moment, he looked at the cupboard containing the pink jumper he had put away, and then at the bedside table with the group photo, and spoke in a low voice, “Don’t believe what he said, every pair of friends gets along differently, our way of getting along is normal. I also know that you think of me as your best buddy in your heart, and I won’t believe just because people pick on me. Don’t worry, I only believe you.”
Ye Yao gave a laugh.
He lowered his thick eyelashes and smiled, “Yes, I consider you my best friend, don’t think of it as anything else to tarnish that friendship.”

The pink jumper is finally finished after Lu Xun has been working on it every night.
It is now two o’clock in the middle of the night, all is quiet and everyone has gone to bed, and Lu Xun lets out a long breath as he finishes his work.
He picked up the jumper and shook it out. It was made of the finest material, very soft and skin-friendly, so even if you wore it underneath, it wouldn’t stick to your flesh, it would only be very warm and comfortable.
Instead of the usual deathly Barbie pink favoured by boys, Lu Xun opted for nude pink. He can imagine how white and soft Ye Yao must have looked in this jumper.
Satisfied with his jumper folded neatly, Lu Xun lies alone in his bed and starts to get a little excited.
For this gift, he could not sleep with Ye Yao for a long time, leaving Ye Yao alone and suffering.
Now that his work is finally done, it’s time for him to sleep with Ye Yao again.
Ye Yao is probably asleep and he will move gently so as not to wake anyone up.
Lu Xun thought so and did so. He rolled out of bed and went straight to the next room. Then he twisted the doorknob several times, but could not unscrew it.
Ye Yao goes to bed at night and habitually unlocks the door.
The spare key is not in Lu Xun’s hand and it is not a good idea to go looking for it in the middle of the night, possibly waking up the housekeeping staff who are already asleep.
Without hesitation, Lu Xun returned to his room and leapt from the balcony of his room to the balcony of Ye Yao’s room.
He pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony and dodged silently inside.
The room is quiet, Ye Yao Yao sunken into the soft, large bed, unable to see his form.
Lu Xun walks gingerly inside. He goes to the bed and looks at Ye Yao, who is sleeping, and lies down slowly, contentedly, before slowly lifting the corner of the quilt like a thief and slowly slipping inside.
Lu Xun did his best not to wake Ye Yao, but when he put his hand on Ye Yao’s waist, Ye Yao stirred.
“Hmm?” Ye Yao uttered a small, sleepy sound, not awake by the sound of it.
Lu Xun was afraid of waking Ye Yao up completely, so he simply held his breath and did not speak.
He is like a silent statue, or like a man in a dream world, not speaking or moving, hidden in the darkness.
Ye Yao did not speak again and just when Lu Xun thought Ye Yao had fallen back to sleep, Ye Yao moved and his whole body came close.
It was very close, the tip of Ye Yao’s upturned nose almost resting on Lu Xun’s cheek, undulating with his breath, his soft lips brushing against Lu Xun’s ear.
Almost instantly, half of Lu Xun’s body went numb, as if an electric current had run through it.
It’s not that they’ve never been this close together when they’ve slept together, but it was Lu Xun who initiated the approach.
This is the first time that Ye Yao has approached on his own initiative.
Ye Yao is drowsy.
The answer seemed obvious, and Lu Xun licked his lips slowly and turned his head sideways, opposite Ye Yao.
The tips of their noses touched, the air mingled between their breaths, and the two were so close that they were close to becoming one.
For Lu Xun this was a position he had not experienced before, and the experience not only did not repel him in the slightest, but made him shiver with excitement.
This is the kind of intimate distance that …… is uniquely his, and Ye Yao will have no other friend who can do this but him.
No need for a partner, he and Ye Yao will continue to be so good together until they grow old.

Ye Yao was a bit confused when he woke up and saw Lu Xun.
“When did you come over?” Ye Yao asked.
“Last night,” Lu Xun recalled with a half-smile, “I found out that I had been poisoned and that the poisoner had put the antidote on you, so I rushed through the window in the night and found you to avoid a tragedy.”
“You die of poison and forget it.” Ye Yao’s face was expressionless.
“What a cruel heart!” Lu Xun hugged Ye Yao’s waist as he sat up and buried his face in Ye Yao’s stomach and legs, “I was born as your human and died as your ghost, I will follow you even after I die, Master.”
Ye Yao :”……”
He pushed Lu Xun’s head away slightly stiffly and scolded, “What are you dawdling about in the morning? If you have an accident, you’ll be crying that I’ve tainted your innocence.”
Ye Yao is cryptic, but being a man and in the early morning, Lu Xun doesn’t understand what Ye Yao is referring to.
His eyes rolled up and he licked his lips, remembering an earlier incident.
At that time he deliberately injured himself when Ye Yao took him to the hospital in a taxi, and he accidentally brushed his face against Ye Yao while lying on his lap.
He didn’t feel sick that time, and he doesn’t feel equally sick now.
Maybe one day he and Ye Yao can upgrade their mutual help? He would have to beat him to death and then reject him harshly.
Wait until later …… he can get closer and closer to Ye Yao.

As Ye Yao’s birthday approached, Lu Xun began to seek Ye Yao’s advice on what kind of birthday party he wanted and whether it would be the same as before.
For Ye Yao’s birthday, we usually invite a few close friends to spend the day together. After most people have dispersed, it’s time for Lu Xun and Ye Yao to spend some time alone.
It’s both lively and quiet, which Ye Yao prefers and Lu Xun also likes for his birthday.
Ye Yao did choose this option, so Lu Xun happily contacted some friends to prepare for the get-together.
Lu Xun contacted some of their friends from high school, who had not yet started school, and decided to get together to celebrate Ye Yao’s birthday.
Before their birthday, they flew back to Ye Yao’s home once again.
*
Ye Yao received a warm welcome from his close friends.
“Ooooooooo you guys are really still together.” The rugged on the outside and delicate on the inside generous was moved to tears, “What does it mean to be a confidant, this is what it means to be a confidant, a confidant in the sea, the sky is the limit.”
“Can’t you talk?” Da Hei slapped Da Fang on the back, “Why is it the end of the world? It’s called being with each other, flying together! See if Brother Lu doesn’t beat you up later.”
They are now gathered in a karaoke bar that they used to visit several times in high school, and it is easy to get in touch with the past and reminisce about the times.
“Have I ever beaten anyone up.” Lu Xun, who had recently labelled himself as a gentle, watery man, raised an eyebrow and gave an amiable smile, “It’s only been two years and you’re remembering wrong.
Others: “……”
Believed you.
We hadn’t seen each other for quite some time and had a lot to say, but we didn’t know where to start, so we simply started with a truth or dare to set the mood, as is the international practice.
They logged into a Truth or Dare game app, took another deck of cards and picked a few from it to place on the table. Whoever got the ghost card was the one who won and had to answer a random Truth or Dare question displayed in the app or complete the dare it specified.
Lu Xun was honoured to be the first winner of the prize and he chose to be true to his word.
Da Hei reads out the heartfelt message on the app: “Have you met anyone recently that you are attracted to? Answer honestly, no lies.”
Ye Yao looks up at Lu Xun, who smiles at him, his handsome brow deeper in the dim, flickering light, and Lu Xun’s smile is soothing.
“No.” Lu Xun is quick to reply, “Is that all? That’s too easy, someone who can make my heart flutter won’t appear for nearly a hundred years, ask Brother Ye if you don’t believe me.”
Ye Yao looks unchanged, lowering his eyes and shuffling his cards around.
“Words can’t be said to death ……,” spat Generous in a small voice.
“Well, I’ll just say the words to death.” Lu Xun said, “Okay, next hand.”
Ye Yao, who was lucky enough to never win the lottery, secretly observed and found that most of the questions displayed on the applet were about relationships.
This means that if he is drawn and chooses to be truthful, then there is a high probability that he will be asked about his feelings.
There was no point in lying in the truth session, but Ye Yao was not going to tell the truth about his secret, about what he really thought about Lu Xun.
Then when he is drawn, he just has to pick the dare.
In the middle of the game, Lu Xun got up to go to the toilet, while the two remaining friends dragged Ye Yao to chat with them.
” Lu Xun he two years in college, really did not meet someone like?” Da Hei spat, “He’s really changed a lot from his high school days, just …… not in a bad way, it’s that hard-to-describe, pink bubble aura that makes me a single dog all over the place.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Dafang nodded in agreement, “Ugh, actually, the last time Brother Lu posted a friend circle, I thought you two had managed to bend each other over and get together, but it turns out I was thinking too much. But you guys are already glued together, so it seems normal.”
“Well, it’s true that he’s not in a relationship, he’s not lying about that.” Ye Yao didn’t really want to talk about this in detail, he just digressed, “Let’s start a game, the three of us, no need to wait for him specifically, only two people can play this game anyway.”
Ye Yao was the birthday boy for the day, so naturally whatever he said went, so in the absence of Lu Xun, they began a new round of Truth or Dare.
With three players and a one-in-three chance, Ye Yao finally won the lottery and drew the ghost card.
“Truthfulness?” Da Hei habitually had to go and click on the Truthfulness screen.
“No,” Ye Yao replied quickly and surely, “Dare.”
“Hey? Ye Yao you actually picked Dare, okay, I’ll tap it for you.” Da Hei tapped on the applet, and after the random result came out, his two thick black eyebrows went up in the air.
“What is it?” Ye Yao queried.
Da Hei slowly turned the phone screen in Ye Yao’s direction so that Ye Yao could read the words clearly.
[Confess to the first person who walks into this room within five minutes].
Da Hei was stunned: “It’s not like we called the waiter, so the only person who would walk in within five minutes is of course ……”
Only Lu Xun, of course, had to go to the toilet and, counting the time, should be back soon.
“Yeah, exciting! Now that’s a real dare!” On the other side of the room, Generous Happy raised his hands and waved them, “Confession, confession!”
Ye Yao’s face drifted in and out of focus, his long lashes casting a shadow on his cheeks as he stared in silence at the black line on his phone.
“Actually, if someone else had been drawn to confess their love to Brother Lu, I would have said that it was a no-go. But it’s Ye Yao, so at least Brother Lu won’t hit you, and it’s fun to see his reaction.” Da Fang was excited.
Ye Yao smiled suddenly, and the lights in the booth flashed on and off, like bright stars scattered in his eyes.
“Yeah, how fun.” Ye Yao whispered, “It’s not real anyway, so let’s confess.”
