Ye Yao

After two more games, it was already late at night. Ye Yao drove Lu Xun, who seemed to be in a trance, back to bed, and made plans to go see some of the city's famous universities the next day.

"Don't stress too much, just be happy, there's nothing you can't get through." Ye Yao took Lu Xun's shoulder and comforted him with a long and earnest voice, "Besides, there's still me, we're best friends at least, I can't let you starve to death."

"...... best friend?" Lu Xun, who appeared to be lost in thought and had no idea what he was thinking, suddenly repeated the sentence.

Ye Yao didn't feel any problem with his words at all, he somehow locked eyes with Lu Xun, and saw Lu Xun quickly avert his gaze.

They had reached the door of their room, next to Lu Xun's room, Ye Yao loosened his hand, "Good night, go to sleep, see you tomorrow."

Lu Xun entered his room with his face as usual, the door closed and he instantly turned around and kicked the wall of the room.

Is there something wrong with him that he used to love brainwashing Ye Yao that they were best friends?

Who wants to be best friends?

It's a shame we can't turn back the clock, or Lu Xun could go back and beat the shit out of himself.

Lu Xun walks around his spacious room twice, making decisions.

He knows so little about Ye Yao's views on relationships, what kind of people Ye Yao likes, and even less about Ye Yao's acceptance of being with someone of the same sex. Because he is homophobic, Ye Yao doesn't bring up things he hates in front of him.

He's going out with Ye Yao tomorrow. He's got to test the waters.

Lu Xun remembers something, rummages through the cupboards, and in a corner cupboard that he would not normally open, pulls out a Buddha statue that his family has gotten that is said to be very spiritual.

Lu Xun made a wish to the Buddha statue with a pious expression.

Hopefully Ye Yao will accept men and not be so resistant to them as he used to be.

If this Buddha statue doesn't work, don't blame him for being callous and throwing it away and hiring a new one.

The next morning Ye Yao woke up as usual, ate breakfast, cleaned up and went out with Lu Xun to a local university.

This university is nationally recognized and has a beautiful interior. They each rode a shared bike and toured this campus.

"There's really no comparison between college and high school." Ye Yao said, "I thought our high school was big enough, but college is many times bigger."

As they pedaled past the third cafeteria, Ye Yao exclaimed, "There's even more than one dining hall."

"...... Yeah." Lu Xun picks up, "Wait until you go to college, the pressure of studying isn't so heavy and you can relax a lot."

Lu Xun tried to turn the conversation in a different direction, "When the time comes to fall in love, what type do you like?"

Ye Yao did not answer immediately, and Lu Xun inclined his head slightly nervously to look at the hot summer sun on Ye Yao's body, and the already white Ye Yao was now even more white and glowing.

Ye Yao shook his head, "Hadn't thought about it that way."

"So you're thinking about it now?" Lu Xun was persistent.

"What are you asking for," Ye Yao wondered, his mind spinning as he couldn't help but think of some sort of possibility, "Is it possible that you're trying to kiss up to me, trying to introduce me to your sisters?"

Lu Xun: "......"

Bullshit. He's giving Ye Yao referrals? Anyone near Ye Yao, get out.

"Introducing sisters is out of the question, let's introduce brothers." Lu Xun cleared his throat, "For example, the number one male guest, home model Lu Xun, is good at laundry and cooking, can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, and definitely won't lose face for you when you take him out."

Lu Xun rode his bike from Ye Yao's left side to his right side: "The second male guest, Lu Xun, is good at earning money to support his family, can buy you all the things you want, and wants the moon and definitely not the stars."

Lu Xun then rides the bike to Ye Yao's left: "There's also the comprehensive all-around model Lu Xun, which does everything and can be adjusted and customized to your liking. What do you think, which one do you like better?"

"......" Ye Yao The corner of his mouth twitched, "You can't go a day without talking slutty can you."

Lu Xun did not stop, Ye Yao also know Lu Xun's style of flirtation, so he said coldly: "All of them, one of them pinches my shoulders, one of them pounds my legs, one of them is responsible for feeding me, which one of them is not satisfied with the food, and then dismissed, so all of them be careful for me."

What kind of good thing is that, to split into three parts and be with Ye Yao? Wouldn't that mean he could be with Ye Yao every second of the day, without being separated by work or study?

The imagery was kind of beautiful, and since Ye Yao didn't seem to be averse to such jokes, Lu Xun's mood gradually began to take off.

But that wasn't enough; he had to find something else to play off of, to test Ye Yao's acceptance of homosexuality.

Borrowed questions aren't all that easy to find, nor is it likely that he'll think of one and immediately have two gay men holding hands on the side of the road so that he can take a stab at Ye Yao.

After wandering a bit further, Lu Xun spotted an opportunity - two dogs walking side by side on the sidewalk.

Who knows what kind of relationship these two dogs have, male or female, but at this moment, these are two male dogs that have broken the gender barrier to be together!

Lu Xun said in a hushed voice, "What's with the two male dogs strolling around campus here with their tails on a lead, but it's kinda cute."

Ye Yao takes one look and nods in agreement, "It's pretty cute, and it eats so fat."

"I'm looking at these two dogs right now, and I feel as if homosexuality is okay." Lu Xun borrows the dogs to now make up lines, "Then again, I don't even know what you think about people who like the same gender yet, and you haven't stopped me before when I was so homophobic."

Ye Yao looks at Lu Xun with a glance, "...... Honestly, I don't have much of an opinion, they're just like normal people."

But friends seek common ground, Lu Xun does not like homosexuality, even physical aversion, he does not have to say in front of Lu Xun that this is not right, so that Lu Xun change.

Lu Xun immediately said: "Yes, I want to learn from you, open-minded in order to achieve a better future. Looking for an object gender can not be stuck too dead, in case you happen to be in love with it, you say is not."

Ye Yao listened to these words with a flash of confusion.

How quickly did Lu Xun's views change? It's hard to reconcile with something you hated in the past so quickly, but that's something you can't usually do.

...... Lu Xun Is it too much pressure from studies and life that leads to a change of mindset, similar to a person who can look away from everything before he wants to live lightly?

"That's the truth, who can tell with something like fate." Ye Yao deliberated on the wording and said slowly, "There are even people who fall in love with their pets and take a dog or a cat as their lover. Cross-species is fine, what's cross-gender? Think about everything, not just objects, many things may not follow the original predetermined ......"

What Ye Yao was saying afterward, Lu Xun couldn't really hear, all he could think of was - even dogs can do it!

Great, Ye Yao doesn't limit the sex of the partner, as long as they're compatible, even if the partner is a dog!

Luckily he's still a human being. If he were a dog, he'd have a hard time chasing Ye Yao.

Lu Xun's mood was so high that he wanted to give Ye Yao a fancy cycling performance right there, but considering that he hadn't learned it professionally and wanted to avoid making a fool of himself in front of Ye Yao, Lu Xun put up with it and planned to look for another opportunity.

Leaving this section of the living quarters, Ye Yao and Lu Xun enter a more scenic area.

There are lotus ponds in this university, and it's the time of the year when they are in bloom, with beautiful pink and white lotuses and turquoise leaves.

Lu Xun eyes turn, to Ye Yao said: "can not come in vain ah, take a picture to remember?"

Ye Yao readily agreed, and the two pulled over to find a suitable spot to take pictures.

The summer wind rustled the trees and lotus leaves, and Lu Xun pulled Ye Yao to stand under the shade of a tree by the pool, looking at the sunlight on Ye Yao's face that shone through the gaps in the leaves.

The whole air was sweet enough for love, Lu Xun looked at Ye Yao and felt his throat a little parched.

Romance movies are all set in beautiful places, ambiguous atmosphere, romantic scenery, can Ye Yao also have some inexplicable feelings for him?

Lu Xun doesn't like to watch slow-paced romantic movies, but he's gathered eighteen years of fuzzy impressions of them, and knows that this is the time for the two protagonists to make some eye contact, and that the key to an ambiguous atmosphere is the look of affection and deep feeling.

Lu Xun turned sideways to look at Ye Yao, sensing his line of sight, Ye Yao, who looked even more beautiful than the main character of a romance movie, also looked at him, a light smile on her face.

In this ambiguous, gay atmosphere, Ye Yao opened his mouth.

"What's wrong with you, got sand in your eyes?"

The gay to the core atmosphere shattered instantly!

Lu Xun : "......"

God, Ye Yao doesn't care about the gender of the person he's with, but Ye Yao is really, really straight!
