Lu Xun followed Ye Yao into their high school campus, looking around and sighing.
“Do you remember, the Dean of the school would often come here to catch young couples? Those scenes were quite exciting.” Lu Xun recalled the past, “You and I would stand on the side watching the fun, and he couldn’t catch us anyway.”
There was no secluded place like a grove in Ye Yao’s High School, but there was a fountain with water that never functioned, and the lights there were not turned on all the year round, so the couples who stayed in school loved to have dates at that place at night.
Because it was cool there, Ye Yao would stand there with Lu Xun before returning to the dormitory after self-studying at night, and along the way, he had witnessed the Dean catching students many times.
“He actually doubted us.” Ye Yao smiled, “It’s strange, I didn’t know what he thought about us.”
“That’s right, he never suspected when two girls were hugging each other or holding hands! But he suspected us. He was discriminating!” Lu Xun’s expression showed the injustice he felt.
The school gate was not closed, and a few teenagers slipped in to play on the school’s basketball court. The cheerful atmosphere on the court in the distance faintly entered Ye Yao’s ears.
They found that someone had taken advantage of the winter vacation and had tied a sturdy swing on a big tree. It was wide enough for only one person though.
Ye Yao looked at the swing, and then at Lu Xun.
“Tired of walking?” Lu Xun could read Ye Yao’s expression very well, “Sit down, I’m not tired, I can push you from behind.”
“It’s just me sitting alone,” Ye Yao said softly, “Forget it, let’s find another place to sit together.”
“No one else has cleaned the other places, it’s all dirty, only this place is clean.” A wicked smile appeared on Lu Xun’s face, “Actually, it’s not impossible for two people to sit together on this swing, it depends on whether Classmate Ye is willing or not.”
As Lu Xun said this, he took a step to sit on the swing first, then patted his thigh and sent an invitation to Ye Yao, “Come on, Classmate Ye, this VIP seat is comfortable and flexible, and there is an advanced 36-degree constant temperature, warming you during the winter without getting cold!”
Lu Xun was proficient in talking nonsense, and he didn’t really want to rob Ye Yao of the seat. According to the previous experiences when teasing Ye Yao, the other party would probably give him a punch after hearing his nonsense, and he would pretend to run away at this time, giving up the position to Ye Yao.
“Okay.” Ye Yao said.
“Ye Gege is really very good, and Lu Didi is willing to be inferior — what did you say?” Lu Xun paused mid-sentence.
Ye Yao took a few steps forward and sat directly on the VIP seat.
He didn’t sit down lightly either, but put his entire body weight on Lu Xun.
Lu Xun was dumbfounded.
Ye Yao sat on his lap.
Ye Yao, was sitting on his lap!
Lu Xun suddenly felt a little flustered, and after momentarily dazing off, he finally reached out to wrap Ye Yao’s waist and hug Ye Yao tightly.
Ye Yao was also an adult of 1.8 meters, no matter how light he was, he sat down not too lightly, but Lu Xun was afraid that Ye Yao would be blown away by the winter wind, and hugged him tightly.

Lu Xun’s voice tightened slightly, “How is it a false advertisement, the package has not been opened yet, how can you feel the temperature through four pairs of pants. When we get home you can unpack the package, and feel the temperature of 36 degrees.”

Lu Xun, who was still full of shameless words just now, lost his ability to speak at this moment.
Clearly separated by several layers of thick winter clothes, Lu Xun strangely felt that the person in his arms was fragrant and warm, and the warmth made him feel hot.
“You’re swinging so slowly, use some force, didn’t you eat?” Ye Yao spoke again.
If this kind of provocative and sarcastic words came from someone else’s mouth, Lu Xun would have probably beaten that person up so that they would detour around him for the next three years, but this was Ye Yao who said it, it was a completely different scenario.
Ye Yao spoke to him in a very intimate tone.
The corners of Lu Xun’s mouth rose, revealing a sincere smile, “Okay, I will satisfy how fast you want to go.”
*****
After playing around, Ye Yao and Lu Xun went back home contentedly.
Ye Yao let go of his worries, and had a great time playing.
Sure enough, after he put aside his worries and overthinking, he could do whatever he wanted! He didn’t need to worry about falling deeper and deeper into his feelings, because after this month, he would be able to run away! Peace.
The happy Ye Yao went to take a bath, while Lu Xun made the bed for the two of them in the bedroom and inspected Ye Yao’s room.
Where had all of his things been put, and why was the place so clean?
Lu Xun took off his coat and put it on Ye Yao’s most commonly used chair, and placed two pillows on the bed, making them lean against each other, before feeling slightly satisfied.
After finishing the bed, Lu Xun turned his gaze to the bedside table and frowned again.
Never mind about his other things, but how could Ye Yao also take away that photo which had the two of them? He used to have to look at it several times before falling asleep!
Of course, this was all a problem in high school. After he went to college, he learned to hold Ye Yao to sleep, so he didn’t need to look at the group photo again.
But the photo was still very important. It was a photo of him and Ye Yao, how could it be put away?
Ye Yao came out of the shower and saw Lu Xun squatting at the head of the bed. From the back, he looked like a lost large dog.
“What are you doing there?” Ye Yao asked, puzzled.
Lu Xun turned his head and looked resentful, “If I remember correctly, there should be something here.”
“Then you remembered it wrong.” Ye Yao said.
“…” Lu Xun didn’t pretend to be stupid, “Why did you take the photo down? That’s the crystallization of our youth.”
Ye Yao had already been prepared for this question since he had put away the photo, and replied slowly, “I found it too ugly, I don’t like it.”
Lu Xun didn’t understand what ugly Ye Yao was talking about, obviously Ye Yao was very good-looking no matter what period, but since Ye Yao said so, there was nothing he could do.
“Then let’s take a new one?” Lu Xun asked.
Ye Yao thought for a while, then nodded, “Okay, let’s keep it as a souvenir, you go take a shower first, and let’s take a photo after you take a bath.”
Lu Xun rushed into the bathroom quickly, and while he was washing, he was composing his smile and look for the photo shoot later.
This was not an ordinary random group photo like the ones they had taken previously, this was a picture that would be taken in the bedroom. The photo of him and Ye Yao wearing pajamas was of extraordinary significance!
They had taken a lot of photos together, but most of them were walking side by side or with Lu Xun’s arms around Ye Yao’s shoulders, and without exception, all of them were photos taken out in the open.
What did the photo location this time indicate? It meant that they had grown closer, which was why Ye Yao was sitting on his lap and swinging on the swing this afternoon.
Previously, Lu Xun had never paid attention to things like taking pictures. Now it was a bit difficult for him to temporarily come up with a beautiful pose for a group photo with Ye Yao. He simply took a shower with one hand and swiped his phone with the other.
He searched for poses of friends when taking photos. Probably because the big data search had categorized his gender as male, at first, all the group photos between male friends popped up. These group photos could be summed up very simply — you look amazing, I look amazing, together, we are the king, a double formidable force coming into the world.
“You’re crazy, who wants to take this kind of picture?” Lu Xun scolded in a low voice, and searched again [how to take a group photo with best friends].
The search results this time changed. Compared with the previous photos of pretending to be cool and handsome, more emphasis was placed on the interaction between two people. For example, bumping fists with each other, holding hands and wrists, or capturing moments of collision on the court.
Lu Xun frowned. He felt that there was something missing in these group photos, and he couldn’t help feeling that it was not what he was expecting.
He needed something better, more intimate photos that could be taken between two friends. He didn’t want to take photos, like these ordinary friends, with Ye Yao.
Not being able to find a suitable photo, and having spent enough time in the bathroom, Lu Xun turned off the hot water, put on his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom frowning.
Ye Yao was lying on one side of the bed with a hand on his head and playing with his mobile phone. He raised his eyes to look at Lu Xun who had walked out of the bathroom and waved.
Lu Xun walked to Ye Yao’s side, Ye Yao stretched out his hand, and arranged Lu Xun’s pajama top that was tucked into his pajama bottoms because he was in a hurry.
His movements were unhurried and slow, and his slender white fingers crossed Lu Xun’s abdominal muscles through a thin layer of pajama top.
“Why were you in such a hurry?” Ye Yao looked at Lu Xun from the bottom up, his pale red lips half a smile, “Afraid I’ll run away?”
Lu Xun inhaled, and the moment Ye Yao’s fingers crossed his abdominal muscles, his blood surged violently.
A 20-year-old man could have a reaction just walking on the road. Ye Yao was not surprised, “How long has it been since you dealt with it yourself? Weren’t you in the bathroom for half an hour, how come you didn’t deal with it?”
“No, I didn’t do it, it’s a waste of time.” Lu Xun frowned and denied, “I wanted to take a new photo with you.”
He was not happy to reduce the time spent with Ye Yao for half an hour in vain.
Lu Xun went to the other side and got on the bed, got into the quilt, and leaned against Ye Yao.
He was not afraid of cold, and his body temperature was always high in winter, so after going to bed, he would automatically find Ye Yao’s feet and cover Ye Yao’s feet with his own to keep him warm.
“Have you figured out how we are going to take the photo?” Ye Yao asked.
“No.” Lu Xun unlocked his phone and showed Ye Yao his search records, “They can’t even take good pictures. Their poses aren’t good enough.”
“I searched on other apps as well, you can just see if you like them.” Ye Yao put his mobile phone in front of Lu Xun.
Lu Xun raised his head.
[How should I take a photo with my best friend? Come and have a look!]
The accompanying picture was a picture of two lovely girls head-to-head, cheek-to-cheek, smiling happily.
Almost at first glance, Lu Xun recognized this pose.
He hadn’t… posed like this with Ye Yao before.
If it was him and Ye Yao…
“Do you like this?” Ye Yao chuckled.
Lu Xun took a deep breath, controlled his urge to pounce on Ye Yao and hugged Ye Yao tightly, groping to hold Ye Yao’s hand, and said hoarsely, “Yaoyao…”
Lu Xun watched Ye Yao’s head straightened, and the next second, he smelled the familiar scent of shower gel.
The soft and supple cheeks were pressed against his cheeks, and every time they rubbed, it was like a hundred thousand volts of current.
Lu Xun jolted and all his thoughts blanked out.
