CH 59

Lu Xun looked into Ye Yao's eyes, and was inevitably a little nervous.

For the most part, he was a strong man. Counting back a few years, the option of playing the pity party is not even an option in his world, and he will go straight to work if there is a problem.

It was after meeting Ye Yao that he gradually began to learn to do so.

Because he wants Ye Yao's eyes to be on him, and he can't do that by being assertive.

And now, being assertive also doesn't make Ye Yao understand how rubbish he will be.

The future one is trusted by Ye Yao, but the future one holds this trust but does not cherish it, clearly not treating Ye Yao as his best friend.

With this in mind, Lu Xun's thick eyebrows furrowed as he leaned towards Ye Yao again and slowly took Ye Yao's hand under the covers.

Ye Yao smiled slowly, "You stay with me?"

"Well, we're the same age, so we can exercise together when we need to, so what am I doing exercising alone." Lu Xun's voice cooled a few degrees as he thought of the possibility, "Want to strengthen your body and die a few years later than you?"

Despite the deliberate attempt to suppress it, the anger and resentment in these words still hit Ye Yao in the face, and Ye Yao knew that he could not let Lu Xun continue to make up his mind and immediately took Lu Xun's hand back.

The duvet is warmed by the warmth of their bodies, and the softness of Ye Yao's face under the bedside lamp is exquisite, with the power to compel Lu Xun's heart.

"Yes, I like you to stay with me." Ye Yao said softly, "Go to sleep, rest today and work out with me later."

With such a soft voice of relief, Lu Xun relaxes a little and closes his eyes.

He will slowly make Ye Yao realise that the old him is not good at all.

*

Ye Yao turns off the bedside lamp and thinks in the dark.

Having been with Lu Xun for over ten years, he has a good grasp of the various emotions Lu Xun feels when confronted with him and subconsciously attributes the cause of Lu Xun's emotions to Lu Xun's affection for him.

For example, if Lu Xun looks at someone very closely for whatever reason, and Lu Xun deliberately gets in front of him, then Lu Xun is jealous.

And now, when he's put in the shoes of Lu Xun, a purely straight man, there's nothing at all wrong with him.

For example, now that Lu Xun is talking to him, he can totally assume that Lu Xun doesn't like him being too nice to the thirty year old Lu Xun, so he's fighting over it.

...... He felt that this straight Lu Xun did mean it.

Ye Yao closes his eyes and decides to continue his observations.

* The world's most famous musician

Ye Yao wakes up in the middle of a wide, firm embrace.

For almost ten years of marriage, he has spent most of his time awake in such an embrace, and everything has become habitual.

Ye Yao didn't hear the alarm clock go off and subconsciously thought it wasn't time to get up yet, so she arched into that embrace, looking for a more comfortable position.

At this point Lu Xun should have wrapped his arms around his waist and brought him into his arms, repositioning the two of them so that they were closer together, while squinting and giving him a few kisses on the face and mouth.

Ye Yao was used to this pattern and although he hadn't waited for Lu Xun to reach out and adjust their position, he had already lifted his face up and rubbed it against the person in front of him.

Instead of Lu Xun's mouth, he kissed the hard, fleshless chin. So Ye Yao lifted his head upwards and met his lower lip, which was much softer than his chin.

Instead of giving him a warm response, the person he kissed did not move, like a stiff piece of wood.

...... Lu Xun Are you sleeping so heavily today?

The body he was leaning against was so stiff that Ye Yao was confused as to what was wrong and opened her eyes.

In front of him was Lu Xun, whose eyes were round and his face was rigid, as if he had seen the sun explode in front of him.

Ye Yao and Lu Xun stared wide-eyed for a few seconds before sitting up with a start.

He kissed Lu Xun, but he didn't kiss the thirty-year-old Lu Xun, he kissed the Lu Xun whose memory was stuck at eighteen, the straight man who was so homophobic that he considered him his best friend!

Is it possible to kiss a straight man, Lu Xun? Even if he and Lu Xun used to help each other out when they were friends, he definitely didn't kiss Lu Xun until they had established a relationship, because kissing would not be part of being friends.

Ye Yao has been in society for many years and can still put on a calm face.

"I didn't wake up to move my neck, I didn't expect you to be so close to me, are you okay?" Ye Yao asked.

Lu Xun could not listen to anything Ye Yao said, his mind was buzzing.

Ye Yao just kissed him.

Ye Yao kissed him.

Kiss him.

Him.

Ye Yao's mouth is so soft.

Ye Yao's body is also soft.

Ye Yao's body smells so good.

"...... Lu Xun?" Seeing Lu Xun not moving, Ye Yao reached out and nudged him, worried, "Is something wrong?"

Lu Xun still didn't say anything, his face was stiff and he looked quite bluffy.

...... This expression is very similar to the moment when Lu Xun was too shocked and disbelieving to know what expression to put on when he saw the birthday present he had prepared.

Lu Xun was going crazy with joy at the time.

Ye Yao: "......"

Ye Yao's eyes leave Lu Xun's face and look down.

When he kissed Lu Xun tentatively on the cheek, before he had settled down, Lu Xun's reaction startled him.

And now, Lu Xun appears to be behaving in the same way.

And I don't know if it's because of the early morning moment or because of this kiss from him.

"...... Lu Xun ?" Ye Yao nudged Lu Xun again.

"Hmm." Lu Xun answered this time, curling his legs.

"I'm going to wash up and see if breakfast is ready, you can come down later, there's no rush." Ye Yao didn't say much, patting Lu Xun on the shoulder and leaving space for Lu Xun, who was mentally eighteen years old and had a lot of self-esteem.

The chef has already set the table with today's breakfast at the right temperature.

As Ye Yao ladled a bowl of porridge for both himself and Lu Xun, a bold idea began to emerge in his mind.

When ...... was not yet with Lu Xun, Lu Ming, a gay expert, once told him that he was much straighter than Lu Xun.

At that time, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Footsteps sounded at the stairs and Ye Yao saw Lu Xun, who was walking down in a sulk.

Lu Xun seemed to be doing fine until Ye Yao saw Lu Xun, who was halfway through his breakfast, shoving an unshelled egg into his mouth and reached out to hold Lu Xun's wrist.

Lu Xun woke up as if from a dream and jerked his head up to look at him.

At this time, of course, something has to be said.

"It's probably because I've been busy with work these past few days and I've been a bit restless in my sleep." Ye Yao pondered the statement she was about to make and said softly, "I'm sorry I made you feel sick this morning ......."

"Don't tell me you're sorry, you didn't do anything wrong." Lu Xun frowned at once, "And don't say disgusting, you don't use words like that on yourself."

How can a word like disgusting be associated with Ye Yao?

He didn't feel disgusted at all either.

Ye Yao looked at Lu Xun with quiet eyes and continued, "But you told me before that you hated over-the-top contact between people of the same sex and that it made you sick and want to vomit."

Ye Yao was telling the truth, and Lu Xun frowned.

Their eyes met and Ye Yao watched Lu Xun's furrowed brow slowly loosen before finally flashing a smile towards him.

"...... How can you be the same as those people." Lu Xun's voice and expression were relaxed, "You're my best friend."

Because they are best friends, there is no problem with Ye Yao doing things that would be offensive to him if someone else did them.

Ye Yao's eyes deepened as he lowered them and helped Lu Xun peel off the unshelled egg and place it in Lu Xun's bowl.

"Let's go see your parents after we eat ...... They are worried when they hear you are injured." Ye Yao said.

* Lu Xun Ye Yao

Lu Xun's parents have been travelling around since they retired, they have houses in many cities and now happen to live in the same city as Lu Xun Ye Yao and his family.

Ye Yao drove the car and took Lu Xun to his parents' house.

He had previously told Lu Xun's parents that Lu Xun's memory was only at the age of eighteen and that he and Lu Xun were pretending to be friends for the time being, so that Lu Xun would not be stimulated.

Lu Xun's parents looked at Lu Xun with great surprise after confirming that their son's health was fine.

Lu Xun is wearing a grey jacket today, Lu Xun's father pushes his glasses: "Deep grey, how old are you?"

Ye Yao: "......"

The eighteen-year-old rebellious son didn't even want to pay attention to his old man and just stood by Ye Yao.

It was not yet time for lunch, so Lu Xun's father made a nice pot of tea and we all had a chat over it.

Lu Xun's father took a sip of tea and sighed quietly, "You say you are both old enough, it's time to find someone, what's wrong with staying single?"

Ye Yao's lips twitched slightly, while Lu Xun frowned.

Lu Xun's mother picked up, "That's right, marriage is a big event in life, everyone has to go through it once, it's a social responsibility, don't you think so Little Ye?"

Ye Yao could tell that Lu Xun's parents were deliberately joking, after all, all the people here were married and only Lu Xun didn't know.

Ye Yao responded vaguely and took a sip of tea from his cup.

Lu Xun is so annoyed by this kind of talk that his whole face is grumpy.

"Who says you have to get married these days, what good does it do but get a share of the assets?" Lu Xun laughed coldly, "Whoever wants to get married, I'm never going to get married in my life anyway."

"What's wrong with giving your assets to your partner?" Lu Xun's father was calm and collected, "When you get married, you might not just let your partner have a share of your assets, you might be happy not to have a penny on you."

Lu Xun laughed coldly: "I am not sick."

Lu Xun pauses for a moment and continues to reiterate, "I'm not getting married anyway, don't rush, it's useless to rush, no one can make me like it."

Both elders looked at Ye Yao, who put down his cup of tea and laughed silently.

It used to be the same way, his best friend Lu Xun, the straight guy, stayed out of relationships and refused to be approached by anyone, just following him around.

Lu Xun says they are friends who want to grow old together.

Ye Yao turns his head to Lu Xun, who is sitting next to him.

Lu Xun still looks rather impatient and clearly does not want to continue the conversation.

"No one can make you like it, including me?" Ye Yao asks.

Lu Xun was stunned and immediately denied it, "Not you, of course."

"Oh," Ye Yao laughed again, "that means ...... wants to marry me?"

It's a very obvious joke, so don't worry about irritating Lu Xun too much.

Ye Yao just smiled at Lu Xun and watched his suddenly stunned expression and his ears turned a little red from some association.
