Chapter 44: You're not my friend anymore

It takes only a few steps to get from the dormitory to the outside, and if the door is open, Ye Yao can dash out in the blink of an eye.

But the door was closed.

The door was even closed by Ye Yao himself, because he wanted to watch a variety show with Lu Xun without being disturbed by the sound from outside.

Unlocking the door and pulling it open, two simple actions that would not matter on a normal day, but now, they make or break Ye Yao.

Ye Yao is being held tight.

"What are you running for?" Lu Xun's low voice sounded behind him.

Ye Yao had a hard time answering this question, and he slowly turned back to meet Lu Xun's direct line of sight.

Lu Xun's face is smooth and sharp, his eyes are long and narrow with deep sockets, and when he looks at someone without a smile, he will look very oppressive.

Lu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, "He didn't even give me an explanation and ran away after ruining my innocence?"

Ye Yao can't say in his defense that he didn't do it on purpose - because it was indeed deliberate.

He purposely tested Lu Xun, deliberately guiding Lu Xun to stick his head over, and then turned his head to kiss Lu Xun when he was defenseless.

"...... Sorry." Ye Yao said, "It was my fault."

"Apologize? I don't want your apology." Lu Xun gave a imploring laugh, he pressed further into Ye Yao's ear, the airflow when he spoke ran into Ye Yao's ear, "It's my first time to be kissed, you know?"

Ye Yao knew, of course, that, likewise, it had just been the first time he had ever kissed anyone.

...... But then again, accidentally brushing the corner of your lips like that shouldn't really count as a real kiss.

Such a gesture, not quite a kiss, caused a chain reaction he hadn't expected.

It s not that he s repulsed or unable to accept it, it s just that it s so sudden, and he s inevitably ...... nervous during this period of transition in his relationship with Lu Xun.

Ye Yao said testily, "Or I'll recuse myself now and we'll talk about this later?"

Lu Xun steadied his voice and refused, "I don't want to talk about it later, I want to talk about it now, you ruined my innocence and I want to make amends."

Lu Xun just stared at Ye Yao for an instant.

He was so close to Ye Yao that he inhaled the scent of Ye Yao's clothes. He was surrounded by Ye Yao's scent, a scent he would never forget.

The place on his face where Ye Yao's lips had brushed against him was still hot, Lu Xun's throat moved slightly, unable to restrain his hand from moving, gently cupping that snow-white, delicate cheek.

It felt a million times better in his hands than he'd ever imagined, and just a simple touch like that could send shivers of excitement down his spine.

Ye Yao's lips were pursed as he held her face, the flesh of her cheeks slightly puckered by his pressure. Simply every inch of it grew in that favorite spot of his.

Lu Xun's throat felt dry and thirsty as he lowered his voice and coaxed, "You let me have a kiss like I just did, things have to be fair, right?"

The eyelashes of the person in front of her were long and fluttered like the wings of a black butterfly, with a fragile beauty.

Ye Yao also looks tense as he is held down against the door by Lu Xun, a door that is separated by a bustling corridor, and the faint sounds of talking and footsteps of other dormitory residents can be heard as they pass by.

Ye Yao nodded lightly.

Lu Xun The corner of his mouth curved and he hurriedly came forward.

*

He finally kissed Ye Yao as he wished, fair and square.

It smelled so good. His mouth and body were filled with Ye Yao's scent, which he loved.

Lu Xun didn't start the kiss at the corner of his mouth, but at his earlobe.

Being courteous, restrained, and patient, these are the things he tries to do when pursuing Ye Yao, and they are also the seals he uses to restrain his actions. Because he doesn't want Ye Yao to be unhappy, and he doesn't want Ye Yao's heart to be estranged from him.

Lu Xun didn't know what he would do if he didn't limit himself. Perhaps on the Ferris wheel at that amusement park, he would have pressed Ye Yao against the glass, forcing Ye Yao to kiss him in that small space from which there was no escape.

Or perhaps devouring the prey that automatically jumped into his arms over the delicious sauce while eating hot pot together.

He covered the seal tightly, but with Ye Yao's nod, the seal was broken and something not so good crawled out from among the deep well.

This is what Ye Yao allows, Ye Yao will not be unhappy, he can ...... do what he wants to do.

It's been too long since he's been this close to Ye Yao.

Ye Yao's earlobe was thin and cool, and Lu Xun brought his lips to it, breathing heavily because of the softness.

Ye Yao felt something was wrong, he wanted to twist his head over to look while uttering, "...... Lu Xun?"

Lu Xun immobilizes Ye Yao's cheeks, preventing Ye Yao from moving or escaping.

The kiss moved slowly from earlobe to cheek.

The snow-white skin was warm with Ye Yao's warmth, and Lu Xun's heart surged with joy, almost drowning him, and this excitement was likewise brought to his movements.

Ye Yao's cheeks were sunk into a patch by the high bridge of his nose, and the soft flesh of his cheeks was rubbed back and forth. While contact with his beloved was certainly pleasurable, this marvelous sensation, which he had never experienced before, also made Ye Yao's body tense up.

Obviously not being kissed on the mouth, Ye Yao felt breathless, he spoke with some difficulty, "Lu Xun?I seem to ...... not do that, right?"

How can you kiss so ...... like a different person?

Lu Xun s nose pressed against Ye Yao s face and sniffed, his voice hoarse, "It smells so good, it smells even better than your ......."

"What did you say?" Ye Yao hesitated.

Lu Xun did not continue to explain and continued on to his next destination.

The corners of their lips met, and Ye Yao had his chin pinched by Lu Xun, his head spinning and the corners of his lips burning.

Ye Yao had a strong feeling that Lu Xun didn't just want to kiss him on the corner of his mouth, but to actually kiss him.

In the most enthusiastic way.

"Bang, bang, bang--"

There was a sudden knock on the door with his back against it, and Xiao Pang's voice rang out from outside, "We're back, Ye Zi Lu, help open the door! We can't open it with the key, how strange is that?"

Ye Yao, startled, pushed Lu Xun off his body and said hurriedly, "Go back to bed or to the bathroom and clean yourself up before you come out, so they don't find out."

Ye Yao pushed Lu Xun to the bed and watched as Lu Xun took a deep breath and rolled onto the bed, before wiping his face with his sleeve and opening the door.

"Thanks for your hard work, Ye Zi... ugh? Why is your face so red?" Wen Ke was surprised.

Ye Yao wiped another handful of her face and smiled as calmly as she could, "Oh, with the recent change of season, my skin is a bit sensitive."

"In that case, you'll have to be careful then, I have a hydrating and moisturizing cream for winter here, take some of that and rub it in?"

Ye Yao and the others were talking downstairs, while Lu Xun sat on the bed, his mind gradually waking up from the aroma, and his senses gradually coming back to him.

He recalled the surprise and amazement in Ye Yao's voice when he restrained himself from kissing him.

He actually knew why Ye Yao was surprised, because his image was a bit off from his usual.

In the old days, when he wanted to do something bad he would hide it from Ye Yao.

For example, he doesn't want Ye Yao to have the energy to get a girlfriend, so he bumps into a tree and hurts his leg on purpose to get Ye Yao's attention. But he would never tell Ye Yao that he hit the tree himself, he would only say that he was hit by someone else.

For example, he doesn't accept Ye Yao's detachment, so he'll do everything he can to follow Ye Yao, follow Ye Yao to lunch without Ye Yao's knowledge, and stare at Ye Yao from a distance, watching Ye Yao so he can eat.

For example, he stayed up most of the night, sneaking around in the darkness to lift Ye Yao's curtains and look at Ye Yao's silhouette as he slept for a long time.

There's much, much more, all of which Ye Yao doesn't know.

So he's seen by Ye Yao as cheerful and warm to his acquaintances, probably meddles in things he shouldn't sometimes, and is a bit bossy, like getting in the way of Ye Yao's girlfriends, but overall very normal, except that the two of them are too inseparable.

But just now, he accidentally gave away a little bit of abnormality.

He is extremely possessive and exclusive towards Ye Yao, and is obsessed with licking Ye Yao's entire body. Such extreme feelings may not be accepted by everyone, and some may feel suffocated and scared, and want to run away.

...... He had to exercise some restraint, hiding excessive, potentially upsetting emotions from Ye Yao.

*

Ye Yao also got into bed after thanking Wen Ke for the cream.

The curtains surrounded his bed so that no one else could see him, and he could not see anyone else.

Ye Yao was a bit hesitant to lift the curtains on Lu Xun's side of the bed, after what happened just now, it would be too wrong for him to think that Lu Xun was purely straight.

What kind of straight man's first reaction to being kissed by another man would be that?

If this is straight, then he can say he's straight too, he steeled himself.

And Lu Xun kissed him when ...... too enthusiastic, this state if you can act, Lu Xun do not go to cross the industry into the showbiz industry most will act bully can be really a waste.

Rationally, he should have lifted the bed curtains and talked to Lu Xun.

But he and Lu Xun had just kissed each other, and other couples went back to their own homes and mothers after the kiss, lying on their own beds and recalling the details of the kiss. He and Lu Xun were better off, not seeing each other, the distance was all provided by this thin layer of bed curtains, which was a bit awkward.

...... or tomorrow?

Ye Yao was just thinking, when he saw a bony hand reaching out from Lu Xun's side, passing through the gap between the bed curtains and the wall, and flexing his fingers to knock on the wall.

Then there was the head of a fluffy doll bear peeking out from behind the bed curtains, looking at him with round eyes.

"Anyone, is anyone home, can I come in?"

Ye Yao lifted the bed curtains with helpless embarrassment and inexplicable giddiness.

This time, Lu Xun poked his upper body in.

The bed curtains separated this little side of the world, and the two of them looked at each other, neither of them speaking first.

Ye Yao couldn't hold back and laughed first.

When he laughed, Lu Xun laughed too.

The tall cool guy with handsome eyebrows, now with a smile on his brow, joked with Ye Yao, "What are you smiling about, happy to see me?"

"Well," Ye Yao said matter-of-factly as his hand under the covers scratched the sheets, "happy."

Ye Yao's directness caused Lu Xun to freeze for a moment, and he returned to his senses, waving his hand at Ye Yao, signaling him to come closer.

So Ye Yao leaned over and heard Lu Xun whisper to him, "I'm really not a straight guy, so if I chase you in the future, don't think of me as a straight guy pretending to be gay, okay?"

So that's what Lu Xun wanted to tell him.

"I'm sure you're not straight anymore." Ye Yao glances at Lu Xun and looks away again as he whispers, "You don't chase either."

From heaven to hell in a second is nothing more than that, Lu Xun's face changed slightly, but he still smiled forcefully, "On what grounds? This is my freedom, I can chase if I want to, you are not qualified to stop it."

Ye Yao couldn't hold back another laugh as he reached out and took Lu Xun's fingertips in his hand.

"I promise." Ye Yao had a smirk in her voice, "It's not like you don't want to take it and still want to keep enjoying the chase."

Lu Xun returned to heaven from the 18th floor of hell in half a second, and he even saw the holy light of heaven.

In the holy light, the beautiful angel said to him, "From now on, you're not my friend, you're my boyfriend, got it?"
