Are you really going to protect him?

Ye Yao woke up in the morning and was shocked to see Lu Xun at the sink.

Lu Xun was brushing his teeth with his eyelids hanging down, his whole face was unusually haggard, turning into a disheveled handsome man. Seeing him coming over, Lu Xun with a white foamy mouth squeezed out a smile.

The smile is really not very nice.

"...... Are you okay." Ye Yao worriedly said.

"It's okay." Lu Xun spits out the foam in his mouth and talks to Ye Yao, "I watched a ball game last night, and I didn't sleep much all night."

Ye Yao didn't know if the reasoning was true or not, so he went along with it and said, "You can watch the game during the day, don't stay up too late, it's not good for your health to stay up too late."

Lu Xun nodded.

Seeing that Lu Xun didn't really care, Ye Yao couldn't help but add one more sentence: "Staying up all night will also make you ugly ...... Never mind."

Lu Xun doesn't care about appearance at all, and he says this is even less useful.

Ye Yao just thought so and then saw Lu Xun's eyes widened, Lu Xun a few mouthfuls of water to clean off the remaining foam in his mouth, hurriedly ran out of the washroom.

Ye Yao poked his head out of the washroom to see Lu Xun go to the fitting mirror in the dormitory and scrutinize his face.

Ye Yao : "......"

Xiao Pang, who was also washing up, was also stunned by Lu Xun, he and Ye Yao exchanged a glance and said in shock, "What happened, overnight Lu actually cares about whether he is handsome or not today?"

"...... don't know." Ye Yao said, "Maybe some of the players in the game he watched last night were too handsome, which inspired him to be competitive."

*

Ye Yao was attending class as usual, and when he took out his cell phone to swipe through it after class, he saw the emoticon Lu Xun had sent him.

This is a fat white duck, with tears in its eyes, drawing circles with its wings on the ground, with the words [I know you are very busy, don't forget to pay attention to me when you have time].

Ye Yao smiled, poking the fat duck on the screen.

Even in their current situation, Lu Xun still tries hard and persistently sends him messages to keep in touch with him, which shows how much Lu Xun values this relationship.

And why wouldn't he be.

Ye Yao has a slightly complicated mood.

Now that he doesn't have to step on a tightrope to cross the river, and has become friends with Lu Xun at arm's length, everything seems to have reached the most ideal state on the surface.

But it's also because of the once-close relationship that Ye Yao, no matter how sensible she is, is more than a little down in the dumps.

It would be nice to have an activity that would give him a break, like going hiking on the weekends or something like that. He should be able to get used to it when it's been a while longer.

Ye Yao had been staring at his cell phone screen when he saw another message from Lu Xun: [Actually, I didn't stay up last night because I was watching the game ......]

Ye Yao had just finished reading that sentence, and in no more than two seconds, Lu Xun had somehow withdrawn it.

A little while later, Lu Xun sent another emoticon: [Cheer up today, too!

Another moment later, Ye Yao typed slowly: [Well, go for it.]

Ye Yao: [What did you withdraw earlier?]

Lu Xun's message came back quickly: [Nothing, accidentally clicked the wrong one and sent you a giant ugly emoticon].

Lu Xun: [Let's go to dinner tonight?]

Ye Yao glanced at the retraction prompt and didn't poke Lu Xun: [I want to study tonight.]]

Lu Xun replied: [I'll go with you? I always think about studying hard too.]

The study hall will be quiet, Ye Yao didn't refuse, and replied with half-lidded eyes: "Okay.

*

After a short break in the middle of the day, Lu Xun looked much better. In the evening, when he went to find an empty classroom to study with Ye Yao, he had already recovered into a handsome man who was dazzling everywhere he went.

Any classroom not being used for classes can be used for studying, and Ye Yao chooses a small classroom with a few other people studying in it. He sat down by the window, and Lu Xun sat next to him.

Ye Yao went into focused study mode.

He holds a pen in one hand, while the other rests on his desktop, next to the junction of his desk and Lu Xun's desk.

Learning calms the mind, and it is easier to lose all kinds of worldly desires when the learning is about various legal texts.

Ye Yao didn't know how long he had been studying when his hand, which was resting beside him, was suddenly touched by something warm.

Ye Yao looked to the side and saw Lu Xun's hand next to his.

There wasn't a lot of contact between the two hands, just a little bit of side-to-side, and a seeming tickle when they touched.

Ye Yao didn't say anything, moved his hand a little to the side and continued to read.

Before he could finish half a page, Ye Yao's hand was touched again.

Lu Xun's hand crossed the divider between their tables and doggedly pursued it.

Lu Xun hasn't turned a page in his book.

Ye Yao didn't back off this time, he frowned slightly and lowered his voice to say in an airy tone, "Lu Xun."

The voice was so soft that it wouldn't disturb the other people studying at the other end of the classroom, but to Lu Xun, who had his head buried in his hands and didn't know what he was thinking about, it was like a thunderbolt.

Lu Xun looked up sharply, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Ye Yao signaled Lu Xun to keep his voice down, then inclined his head in the direction of the hand.

Lu Xun also looked over, froze, and hastily withdrew his hand.

Lu Xun scratches his face, looking a little uncomfortable.

"I didn't do it on purpose." Lu Xun lowered his voice to explain, "I was thinking about something else, and I don't know how ......"

Without a command from his brain, his hand actually quietly went against his will and sneakily touched Ye Yao.

Damn it.

"So it is." Ye Yao said, "Then I'll sit farther away."

Ye Yao pulled his chair to the other side so that his whole body was at a certain distance from Lu Xun.

"Keep reading." Ye Yao said.

Lu Xun seemed to be about to say something, he finally said nothing and pursed his lips and nodded.

Ye Yao quietly read two pages of the book, then he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Lu Xun's hands didn't come over again, and his feet were honestly restrained under his desk by the desk crossbar. Everything seemed fine, except for ......

Lu Xun's upper body used to be separated from him by a distance, but now it was less than two hands away, and if Lu Xun continued to lean towards him, it wouldn't be long before his shoulders touched him.

Ye Yao: "......"

Ye Yao didn't move his chair, but simply tilted his upper body to the other side. This time instead of focusing on the book, he focused on Lu Xun next to him.

After he veered to the other side Lu Xun slowly tilted again, and his upper body, which was originally at a ninety-degree right angle to the chair, slowly bent into an eighty-degree, seventy-degree ......

What is this? Is this a spell to stage a separation of the butt from the upper body?

Seeing that he was about to stick to the wall if he strayed any further, Ye Yao poked Lu Xun on the shoulder, "I know you have good eyesight, but you don't have to look that far away from the book."

Lu Xun snapped back to his senses, he looked at his posture, then at where the book was, and hastily corrected his posture.

"I really didn't mean it!" Lu Xun explains, "I don't know why I just ran over to your side."

Ye Yao sighed softly as he watched Lu Xun turn the book over several pages in a row, holding his pen as he once again prepared to study seriously.

"I'm gay, Lu Xun." Ye Yao said softly, "Think about it, think deeper, think until you're a little nauseous, and you'll stop subconsciously leaning in."

"I'm thinking ...... I'm thinking very hard." Lu Xun whispered.

Ye Yao believed it and continued to study.

Next to him, Lu Xun's mind slipped away from his textbook.

Ye Yao told him to think hard, think deep.

This is something Ye Yao himself agreed to let him think about in depth.

As if he had received an imperial decree, Lu Xun's thoughts began to run wild, and all the things that he had been reluctant to think about in depth, that he felt would be disrespectful to Ye Yao, were opened up to him under such an imperial decree.

Ye Yao loves men, so when he expresses his love, he will take the man's hand, hug him around the waist, and rest his head on the man's shoulder.

If that person wants to go down for a kiss, then Ye Yao will cooperate by tilting her head up and delivering her pale red lips.

The man holding Ye Yao was originally blurred without a face, but somehow slowly turned into Lu Xun's familiar silhouette, calming Lu Xun's anger.

It's only right that a man like that holds Ye Yao.

...... have a dry mouth and want lots of water to moisturize.

Disgusting? How can it be disgusting? It's a source of life.

...... He was probably crazy to want to stick to this person for the rest of his life.

*

At the end of the study hall, Ye Yao packed up his books and returned to the dormitory with Lu Xun from the school building.

On the way back there were milk tea stores with a sign in front of the store with the new drink flavors.

Lu Xun didn't pay attention to the flavors, he was attracted to the milk tea cups on top.

On the cup is a little person reaching out to the side, two cups of milk tea leaning together, two little people managed to hold hands.

The milk tea store was across the street, Lu Xun talked to Ye Yao and ran over to buy it, and managed to get two cups after a short while.

Lu Xun puts two cups of milk tea together first so that the two little people can hold hands, and then turns the cups in one direction so that the two little people's stomachs and faces are close to each other.

"Have fun with a hug." Lu Xun said.

Of course the milk tea couldn't possibly answer him, but Lu Xun was satisfied. He separated the milk teas as he walked up to Ye Yao, handing one of the cups to Ye Yao.

As soon as Ye Yao accepted the milk tea, it was equivalent to him and Ye Yao holding hands and hugging.

Ye Yao, ignorant of what Lu Xun had done, stuck his straw in and continued to walk with Lu Xun to the dormitory.

Lu Xun bought strawberry milk tea, I do not know what is wrong with this guy recently, from pink sweater to pink strawberry milk tea, from the former high school clothes only wear black and white gray, drink only drink lemonade cool brother image is gone not to say, and even the aesthetic bias color is also getting more and more pink, looks like in love with the same.

A couple walked past them, drinking the same milk tea as them, and the girl probably noticed this and smiled at them.

"There are so many couples in college, and it's not like high school where you get caught." Lu Xun watched the couple walk away and sighed before falling silent, then he gently bumped Ye Yao's shoulder.

"What about you, do you want to fall in love? What you said before when you went out to meet that girl, that you were too busy studying and looking for a job during college to get into a relationship, was just a random excuse, right?" Lu Xun asked.

He had been happy that Ye Yao had said that, but in retrospect, it was probably just a casual remark made because he was not at liberty to say the real reason; after all, he was with Ye Yao at the time.

"......" Ye Yao doesn't really want to answer the question, "What's the point of asking that, to introduce me to someone?"

In the past, such a statement could have directly made Lu Xun angry, but now he suppressed the boredom under his eyes, and continued to look like a calm discussion: "Come on, the one who made you realize that you're bent, what type of person is he?"

Halfway through his words, Lu Xun's calm voice and appearance had a slight change, this slight change added a hint of hostility to him, but he still smiled: "That person is not even with you, let you bend so silently, you do not still want to secretly put him in your heart to treasure, right?"

Lu Xun's eyes were fixed on Ye Yao, trying to catch any fluctuation in Ye Yao's face.

But Ye Yao's face didn't fluctuate, and he didn't seem to feel the slightest bit of resentment or dissatisfaction towards the man because of his words.

"Don't ask that question." Ye Yao said calmly.

Lu Xun's heart's hard feelings began to be a bit overwhelming, his tone seemed to be joking, but his voice was tight:¡°You really want to protect him and not let anyone know, ah?"

Ye Yao gave Lu Xun a look this time.

Lu Xun It's hard to put into words what this glance feels like.

"Yeah, first love," Ye Yao retracted his gaze, "of course you have to protect it."

*

After this conversation Lu Xun fell into silence, and Ye Yao didn't take the initiative to speak up, the two of them just walked back to the dormitory area in silence.

Just when Ye Yao thought that Lu Xun probably didn't want to talk to him again today, Lu Xun suddenly spoke up and broke the silence.

"Ye Yao," Lu Xun said, "do you think I act a little strange sometimes?"

"......" Ye Yao was speechless, Lu Xun finally realized that he spoke too tartly a lot of the time, and resolved to change his ways and be a normal person can't he?

"Have you finally realized." Ye Yao said, "If you were acting all normal, you wouldn't have changed schools in the first place, and you wouldn't have met me."

"...... I'm not talking about that." Lu Xun scratched his hair as he skimmed Ye Yao and said in a rapid-fire tone, "What I mean is, do you ever feel that sometimes my behavior isn't quite straight?"

Ye Yao didn't say anything as he resumed drinking his nearly empty milk tea.

Lu Xun gripped the milk tea in his hand, and the water on the cup made his palm moist. It wasn't too noisy here, so Ye Yao probably didn't hear him, right?

Ye Yao sucked up the milk spuds at the bottom of his milk tea and chewed on them, he inclined his head to look at Lu Xun and saw the nervousness in Lu Xun's eyes.

Ye Yao let out a soft laugh: "What are you thinking about, you're not straight, there's no straight in the world."

"But-" Lu Xun was still trying to speak when he was interrupted by Ye Yao.

"Are you now thinking that cuddling all day is not straight?" Ye Yao shook his head, "That's what straight men do, right? It's only when you're bent and facing the same sex that you're tied up; the more you're like this, the more you show that you're frank and have no evil thoughts."

Ye Yao freed his hand and patted Lu Xun's shoulder: "Don't deceive yourself."

Arriving at the dormitory, Ye Yao pushed the door in first, Lu Xun watching his back.

Is ...... really the way to go?

*

Wen Ke and Xiao Pang in the dormitory were talking, gleefully, and when they saw Ye Yao coming back, Wen Ke rushed to him and said, "Ye Zi Ye Zi, have you seen the class group, are you going or not?"

"Didn't look, where to?" Ye Yao asked while pulling out his cell phone.

Wen Ke quickly picked up the conversation, "It's just fellowship, the two classes go out to play together, it is said that this time there is no need to pay the fee, a big brother felt that the cost of the two classes is too troublesome to calculate, directly he himself alone all out!"

Xiao Pang rolled around on the single bed, hugging the quilt in small increments, his excitement overflowing: "I wonder if I'll meet a girl who is willing to develop a revolutionary friendship with me?"

Ye Yao took his cell phone out and opened the class group to check, and saw the notification.

The event didn't force everyone to participate, but emphasized the food a lot of not going for nothing. The class president of their class even came to talk to him privately and asked if he was going.

The event was on a weekend, and Ye Yao didn't immediately respond to the class president, but he did have that in mind.

Making life more colorful and shifting his attention elsewhere more often will also help him get used to his now regressive but harmonious relationship with Lu Xun more quickly.

Ye Yao first went to ask Ms. Wang if she could take a day off over the weekend, and after receiving an affirmative reply, this was the only time she was ready to answer the class president's private chat.

Before the reply could be sent, a man came to him and grabbed his wrist.

...... a hand he knew well.

Ye Yao slowly looked up and saw Lu Xun, whose eyes seemed to be on fire.

Lu Xun lowered his voice, "Are you really going to go?"

"Why not?" Ye Yao asked rhetorically, though he hadn't planned to find a date at the event, just to get away, but nonetheless said, "It's just a normal choice for single people."

Lu Xun's face plummeted.
