It's over, Ye Yao has seen the girl of his dreams!
Ye Yao's refusal was too simple, leaving Lu Xun frozen in place for a moment.
The hand on his shoulder was still hard enough to stop him from advancing, and Ye Yao really didn't want him up there, not in jest.
Lu Xun took a few deep breaths, lifted the curtains, and saw Ye Yao propping up his upper body on the bed.
Ye Yao wears a beige pajama top, a color that dispels his cold temperament and makes him look warm and inviting.
The barrier between them disappeared, and Ye Yao's eyes met Lu Xun's without flinching.
Lu Xun basically doesn't confront Ye Yao when he's being assertive, so as not to make Ye Yao even more angry, which he did this time.
Lu Xun took the lead and softened his gaze, saying softly, "What's wrong, in a bad mood?"
"Not in a bad mood." Ye Yao said.
Lu Xun poked his head into the bed curtains, and put one hand over the back of Ye Yao's hand that was holding down his shoulder, "Then why don't you let me go up?"
Ye Yao did not say anything for a while, he looked at Lu Xun, his eyes had some deep meaning.
"It's not like it used to be, Lu Xun." Ye Yao said slowly.
The pressure on Ye Yao's hand suddenly intensified, Ye Yao frowned, and Lu Xun, who had regained his senses, hastily eased it again.
Lu Xun hooked up the corners of his mouth, showing a stiff smile, vaguely containing the fury: "How is not compared to the past? Once upon a time can do things now can not do, relationship regression ah?"
Lu Xun spoke faster and faster, especially the words "relationship regression", as if they were flames that could burn his tongue.
If Ye Yao nodded, he didn't know what he'd do.
Completely unfazed, Ye Yao continued slowly, "It's a single bed."
Lu Xun quickly picks up, "It used to be a single bed too."
"Yeah, but there didn't used to be as many classes as there are now, and it used to be okay to sleep almost all the way through the night, and rest and slow down when there weren't any classes. Now that there are so many classes, I need enough energy to have a quality sleep at night." Ye Yao replied.
Lu Xun froze, "You used to sleep ...... with me and you couldn't even sleep well?"
Ye Yao slept actually okay, but he definitely couldn't tell the truth now, he pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Do you think two people can sleep well in a single bed crowded with two people? Study first, each sleeps in his own bed this semester."
Lu Xun is a tough guy when it comes to most people, and he won't give up until he gets what he wants. Some people used to joke that Lu Xun is the kind of domineering president who will force love on someone even if the other person doesn't want to do it.
But how is it possible to actually care about someone without any regard for their feelings.
Lu Xun looked at Ye Yao in silence for a moment, and slowly backed away.
He landed sullenly and went back to his bunk.
Ye Yao watched as Lu Xun climbed into his own bed, expressionlessly shaking out the covers and placing the pillow on the side of his head.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Lu Xun muffled, "I wanted my head on one side with you."
"Uh-huh." Ye Yao reached out and patted Lu Xun on the shoulder, "Good night, and sweet dreams."
*
Late at night, Ye Yao fell asleep.
Lu Xun, of course, can't sleep.
He was obviously lying in a single bed, but he felt like it was so big that it left him empty.
Sleeping alone in a single bed bed that was so big that it made him feel like he was in solitary confinement.
He can't sleep with Ye Yao anymore.
Once he thought about this, Lu Xun could not sleep even more, and he propped up his upper body from the bed to look at Ye Yao who was not far away.
The night was so thick that he couldn't make out the exact details, but could only vaguely see a silhouette.
Ye Yao was lying on his side, with half of his face buried in the pillow. He was very quiet when he slept, his breathing was shallow, and if he wasn't very close, he definitely couldn't hear his breathing.
Lu Xun sneakily reached out to touch Ye Yao's hair, and the watery strands ran through his fingertips, making his irritable mood slightly better.
It's just this semester, he and Ye Yao have many, many years ahead of them, and they can still return to normalcy later.
He wanted to propose renting a room, but Ye Yao probably wouldn't agree. He had thought about moving out with Ye Yao when he first started his freshman year, but Ye Yao had rejected it as unnecessary and a waste of time on the road.
Forget it. It's only a semester? Counting down from today, there's only a few months left until he completes his sentence.
It's quick, he's holding up.
*
Soon it was time for the official start of classes.
Everyone has first period classes, and when they leave the dormitory area, Lu Xun has to separate from Ye Yao.
Ye Yao waved his hand towards Lu Xun: "Bye, see you at noon."
Xiao Pang and Wen Ke joked cheekily: "Don't worry, Brother Lu, we'll take good care of him!"
"Make sure you don't let anyone with a bad heart take advantage of it!"
Ye Yao left with the rest of the housemates, and Lu Xun thought to himself that he would be able to see and talk to them again at noon, and that seemed to be okay, and not so hard.
However, by the time he had finished his difficult morning class and wanted to lean in and talk to Ye Yao alone again, Lu Xun realized that he had been too naïve.
After class and lunch, Ye Yao takes a short break to recharge and prepare for the afternoon session.
Although Lu Xun was able to speak a few words, he was only able to talk to Ye Yao while she was on her way around the world, and what he had imagined about holding Ye Yao in his arms and talking to her quietly for a long period of time did not exist at all!
Lu Xun was depressed as hell.
He didn't sleep with Ye Yao at night, he didn't go to class with Ye Yao during the day, and he couldn't even talk to Ye Yao.
Is this a human life?
Lu Xun told Ye Yao about the complaint, and Ye Yao laughed: "This is nothing, this is nothing."
Lu Xun : "...... What did you say?"
"What I mean is," Ye Yao said calmly, "when you work later, there will be more situations where we can't see each other. You're not the president of an idol drama, you can go around every day without working, all kinds of meetings and business trips, flying to foreign countries for investigation, there will be often. At that time we can only ten days and half a month to ask out to meet once is common, now every day can meet has been quite good."
Lu Xun opened his mouth and wanted to say that even if he was busy, he couldn't possibly not come home for ten days and half a month, but before he said it, he remembered Ye Yao's earlier comment about swiping his card to buy a big villa by the sea for his partner to live in.
Although he's determined to find a way to end up alone with Ye Yao, even if Ye Yao doesn't find someone, it's clear that she doesn't intend to live under the same roof as him, but wants the two to be neighbors.
It's also close, but as long as they're not in the same room, there's a chance that Ye Yao will come home from work but he won't know it.
In the future, it may be true that we will only have the opportunity to meet Ye Yao once in a long, long while.
His heart felt like it was being gripped by a large hand, and Lu Xun's face turned ugly.
Ye Yao knows that Lu Xun is not feeling well, but he has to give Lu Xun this shot in the arm.
"Don't think about it so much, that's what happens when a person grows up and enters society. When you retire in your seventies or eighties, we may go fishing every day." Ye Yao said, "Fishing for a whole day, what a joy."
After comforting Lu Xun, Ye Yao went to bed, but Lu Xun was still sitting at his desk.
Ye Yao said it's fun to fish together, but it's going to be another 40 or 50 years until we retire.
How is it so hard to grow up?
Why can't people live with their friends every day when they grow up?
*
Sitting in the classroom in the afternoon, Lu Xun listened to the teacher on the podium with a braced face, while restraining himself from wandering.
What's Ye Yao doing now, and will any girls be so enamored with Ye Yao that they'll secretly write Ye Yao little notes?
Or is there a guy who sees Ye Yao's beauty and tries to break her up?
It's too dangerous. How can Ye Yao live without him?
Lu Xun took out his cell phone under the desk and messaged Ye Yao, he didn't send any actual content, just sent emoticons like "Are you here?
He used to send similar emoticons to Ye Yao when he had nothing else to do or when he was thinking about Ye Yao, and Ye Yao would reply to him when he saw it, usually during class time.
But the class was over, and Ye Yao hadn't replied.
The second class went on and off, but Ye Yao still hadn't replied.
As Lu Xun was about to make a direct call, Ye Yao's reply finally came.
Ye Yao returned him a fierce cat emoticon with the words: [I caught you slacking off again, didn't I!
Lu Xun was a bit relieved and immediately replied: [What took you so long to reply, I waited for you until the sea withered up].
Ye Yao: [There was too much content in class today, and I got a headache from listening to it, so I spent the time between classes reviewing what was said in class, and didn't look at my cell phone, sorry].
Ye Yao, why are you apologizing to him? Why are you being so polite?
Lu Xun think of some people I have heard of before object often most of the day does not return the message, the moment you ask is playing games do not have time to return the message, that tone is still quite beat up, compared to him really happy.
Ye Yao's schoolwork over there is so heavy, he needs to make up for it, or else he won't be able to keep up with the nutrition. So Lu Xun asked, "Let's go out for a good meal on the weekend in a few days. We need to combine work and rest with study.
Ye Yao's side didn't reply right away, Lu Xun stared at the sign on the top chat box that was typing, Ye Yao's side wrote and stopped, and after typing for quite a long time, he replied to him with a single word: [Good.
Another message from Ye Yao: [Is it okay if I pick the restaurant?]
What's wrong with that? Ye Yao could just pick a restaurant and let him buy it.
Lu Xun gave an affirmative reply that class was in session, and their conversation came to an end.
Satisfied with his successful weekend dinner date with Ye Yao, Lu Xun regained some of his vigor and began to listen carefully to the lecture.
*
Ye Yao's restaurant of choice is an interactive one, one that sells itself not only for the good food, but also for the songs and dances that it enjoys while dining.
The dancer will not only dance on stage, but will also walk off stage and randomly select dining guests to dance with her.
Lu Xun had no objections, and by the end of the week, the two of them traveled together to the restaurant they had booked and took their seats at the reservation.
They had a good spot, close enough to the stage to get an unobstructed view of the show.
After the two had finished ordering, Lu Xun opened his mouth to speak to Ye Yao, but before he could say anything, the singer's melodious voice rang out, drowning out his voice.
Lu Xun: "......"
Ye Yao was subdued, which was originally what he picked this restaurant for, "Can't hear what you're saying, let's eat, we'll enjoy them singing while we eat, it's just as good without talking."
The chairs here are not fixed. Lu Xun, who sits across from Ye Yao, stands up, picks up his own chair, and places it next to Ye Yao.
Lu Xun sits down in a chair, his knee touching Ye Yao's knee, his calf touching Ye Yao's calf.
"I can hear you just fine sitting here." Lu Xun said with satisfaction.
Ye Yao: "......"
Crap, miscalculation, I can't believe he didn't think of that.
The food hadn't been served yet, and they were so close, Lu Xun reached out and grabbed Ye Yao's hand, which was hanging at his side.
If you do the math, they hadn't actually held hands for quite a while, and this time they were holding Ye Yao's hand again, Lu Xun's heart was happy, and a smile appeared on his face as well.
"Want to go somewhere else tonight? My treat."
Ye Yao shook his head as he shook it off, failing to shake it off.
Ye Yao had no good excuse for not letting Lu Xun hold his hand for the time being, and helplessly said, "Holding hands in public, do you look like a kindergartener?"
"So coincidentally, I'm only three." Lu Xun said.
Ye Yao gives Lu Xun a long look, "I don't really want a son."
Lu Xun immediately changed his words: "In one sentence, a three-year-old child becomes a thirty- or forty-year-old adult, what makes him have such a radical transformation? From now on, I am your reliable haven."
Ye Yao smiled, "Good, worthy of you, it seems that with a few more words, we can Lu directly step through the void and become an immortal cultivator."
Reasonable alienation from Lu Xun is a gradual step, not to mention that Ye Yao just wants to alienate to the normal range of ordinary friends, of course he won't not say a word to Lu Xun.
The effort had worked, and Ye Yao now decided to give himself a break, casually joking with Lu Xun.
Ye Yao casually picked up a TV drama episode about a boss to poke fun at Lu Xun: "When I booked this restaurant, I wondered if it would be your family's property, and halfway through the meal the manager came over and bowed to you, saying that he didn't know that Mr. Lu had come to visit, and that he had missed the welcome, and that today's meal would be free of charge."
"Hmm?" Lu Xun ponders, "So that's how you like it, I thought you liked to keep a low profile." Lu Xun picks up his cell phone, "It's not impossible, I'll call him here now?"
Ye Yao: "......"
What's going on, is this bully plot actually real?
Ye Yao hurriedly pressed Lu Xun's cell phone, "I'm kidding."
The dishes they ordered were served, and Ye Yao beckoned Lu Xun to start eating, finally getting some peace and quiet.
The songs on stage came to an end and dancers veiled and dressed in Western-style dance costumes took to the stage to give a dance performance.
They danced very well, with beautiful dance moves and rhythm, and Ye Yao, while eating and watching, felt that it was worthwhile to come here this time.
I don't know how long I've been looking at him, but Lu Xun suddenly opened his mouth in his ear in a conspiratorial manner, "Looking so mesmerized, you look a lot better than me?"
Ye Yao froze, swept back a glance at Lu Xun, and put on an uncomprehending expression reserved for straight men: ''Lu Xun, you're a man, how could you think of comparing beauty with women? This idea of yours is not right. It's normal for me, a straight man, to think that girls look better, right?"
In the ambient lighting of the restaurant, Lu Xun was looking vaguely green.
At this time, the dancers on the stage have walked off the stage, this is to the interactive part, the dancers select guests to come and dance with them, the selected people do not need to have a basic dance foundation, just need to hold their hands to give them a pivot point, and watch them spinning and jumping on the line. Of course, you can refuse to dance if you don't want to.
Two shapely dancers approached Lu Xun and Ye Yao.
Lu Xun didn't even look at it, frowning in denial.
In the past, Ye Yao would have politely refused. But now, as he looked at the obviously female hand in front of him, an idea suddenly occurred to him.
He accepted this invitation this time, and when Lu Xun wanted to hold his hand again in the future, he would have an excuse to say that Lu Xun's hand felt completely different from a girl's, and that it felt strange, and he didn't want to hold it anymore.
He was now a straight man who had never shaken a girl's hand before, so he didn't feel any problem holding Lu Xun. Now through this dance, awakened!
Lu Xun, who was sitting next to Ye Yao, opened his eyes wide and watched in disbelief as Ye Yao put his hand on it and stood up.
This behavior, which was not in line with Ye Yao's character, made Lu Xun's head explode.
Ye Yao wants to dance with someone else!
Ye Yao never even danced with him!
It's over, it's over, Ye Yao has seen the girl of his dreams!
