Don't Hide From MeCh2 - Being Single Together

Edited by Rae and Elanor

When Ye Yao opened his eyes in the morning, the first thing that caught his eye was the familiar handsome face.

Lu Xun had woken up and was staring at him steadily with deep eyes. aS6b5Q

“What are you looking at?” Ye Yao pushed the person further away and calmed his heart which had started beating wildly so early in the morning, “It’s scary, what horror movie did you learn this method of waking people up from?”

Lu Xun curled his lips up into a smile, “I feel like your eyelashes are 0.02mm longer than when they were in high school.”

“……” Ye Yao straightened up and kicked Lu Xun, who was still lying in bed, “Stop talking nonsense, I have to go to class, get your legs off me and let me out of bed.”

Lu Xun hooked Ye Yao’s ankle with his foot, “What’s the hurry? Let’s go together.” feu261

Ye Yao and Lu Xun did not study the same major and hence they didn’t have the same classes. Ye Yao was studying Law while Lu Xun was enrolled in Finance.

Ye Yao didn’t know how Lu Xun managed it, but the Finance major student had been living in their Law dormitory since they started their freshman year, and he even went down to Ye Yao’s class just to be with the other person.

Ye Yao walked into the classroom ten minutes before class, followed by Lu Xun.

After finding a seat for him and his roommate, Ye Yao heard the girl in the front row teasing him with a smile: “Ye Yao, did you bring your family to the class again?”

“Yes,” the ‘family’ in question voluntarily answered before Ye Yao could say anything, “He is a sticky baby, he doesn’t like to be separated from me.”

Ye Yao glared at Lu Xun, who smiled and shut up obediently, leaning over the desk to watch Ye Yao preview the content of the next lesson.

Although Lu Xun was not a member of the class, Ye Yao’s entire class had become accustomed to his presence and spectatorship.

Whenever the Finance Department didn’t have any classes and the Law class was in session, Lu Xun, the campus male god, would definitely appear by Ye Yao’s side to accompany Ye Yao in class. 2rAMv9

The class bell rang and the classroom fell into silence as the sound of the old teacher’s lecturing blended with the sound of flipping books and notes.

Ye Yao had always taken his studies seriously, but even so, it was difficult to concentrate when the person next to him was half-lying on the table, staring at him without doing anything else.

Not to mention the fact that this person was his crush.

Ye Yao stretched out a hand to cover Lu Xun’s eyes and said in a whisper, “Don’t stare at me, just listen to the lesson.” oiLCTa

Lu Xun took Ye Yao’s hand that was covering his eyes and put the said hand on his lap before withdrawing his gaze.

The end of the class bell rang and Lu Xun, who had a class next, stood up.

“I’m leaving. Don’t sneak around and meet girls who like you while I’m away, at least until I’m there anyway.” Lu Xun said.

Ye Yao shooed Lu Xun away to get lost and looked up before Lu Xun’s figure disappeared through the doorway. qtYe4

…… If Lu Xun knew who he liked, he would certainly not be bugging him like that again.

Ye Yao smiled to himself, if only he really liked girls, he wouldn’t have to be in constant fear of his true feelings being discovered, as he was now.

Lu Xun was sitting on a bench in the sidelines tying his shoelaces when one of his teammates sat down next to him.

“Brother Lu, let me ask you something.” His teammate’s voice was mysterious, “I’ve been looking around and I feel like you’re the only one who knows the most about this.”

Lu Xun didn’t even look up: “What is it?”

The big teammate gave a heated smile: “Brother Lu, you are familiar with Ye Yao from the Law Department, correct? I just want to ask …. Does Ye Yao have a girlfriend?” Cq8foj

Lu Xun stopped tying his shoelaces and turned his head to look at his teammate, “Why are you asking that?”

“Here’s the thing. I have a friend who likes Ye Yao very much, but she hasn’t had many chances for any conversations with him, so she wanted to take advantage of this game to give Ye Yao a drink. When that time comes, Brother Lu can you help me out and get them to talk a bit more?” The teammate asked.

Lu Xun didn’t say anything. The corners of his lips twitched slightly, while his teammate who didn’t feel that anything was wrong made further efforts to put in a good word, “My friend is really pretty and has a good personality, it’s not a bad idea for them to have a few more conversations.”

“I don’t think he’s planning on having a relationship right now.” Lu Xun said. XjMgtx

“It’s okay, if she woos him, the distance between them will gradually disappear.” The team laughed in a very carefree manner.

“…. Let’s talk about it later.” Lu Xun stood up and walked towards the kiosk next to him.

Behind him, the teammates were joking and jostling.

“You asked Brother Lu to introduce a girlfriend to his wife? Brother Zhuang, how can you do this?” tNRyOE

“Isn’t that asking Brother Lu to cuckold himself?”

“You’re finished.”

“If you don’t introduce a girlfriend for me too, you won’t be able to walk off this stadium today.”

The straight men laughed. No one took the joke seriously, after all, they all knew that Lu Xun was a straight man. ozXhut

The game was very intense and the score was close all the time, but the Finance basketball team, with all the taller guys in this year’s class, still had the final advantage. A last-minute three pointer by the Finance team won them the basketball game.

Ye Yao sat down on a bench at the edge of the field panting slightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his wrist guard.

His skin was white, and instead of looking messy even when soaked with sweat, he had the strange beauty like an alabaster soaked in water.

With the chaotic sounds of celebration booming in his ears, Ye Yao felt very thirsty. He used to drink Lu Xun’s water directly, but since his feeling of friendship had changed and had become something else, he had exercised restraint in his behavior. FSvD7A

Just then, a delicate hand handed over a bottle of cool, ice-cold water to Ye Yao. Ye Yao looked up along the hand and saw a girl with black shoulder-length hair and a delicate appearance.

The girl smiled shyly: “Here’s a bottle of water for you.”

“……” Ye Yao swept his eyes around and noticed that quite a few people were looking over with a look of amusement on their faces. The girl looked awkward, obviously uncomfortable in doing such a thing publicly.

Ye Yao took the water: “Thank you.” baqcCW

“You’re welcome.” The girl smiled, “Do you still remember me? The last time I got into trouble near the library, you helped me out.”

“I just helped in passing, you don’t have to take it to heart.” Despite his thirst, Ye Yao only took the water out of courtesy but didn’t drink it.

“That, I wanted to thank you, are you free tonight ….?”

Before the girl could finish her sentence, that immediate second, a bottle of sports drink with the cap opened was placed on the spot next to Ye Yao, half of it was already drunk. J6fL P

Ye Yao felt a big hand drop on his shoulder, and the owner of the big hand sat down next to Ye Yao. “I bought it for you, your favorite flavor. I’m brotherly enough, right?”

Ye Yao didn’t bother responding to Lu Xun. He was so thirsty that he picked up the bottle of sports drink Lu Xun had handed him and was about to drink it, but a question suddenly flashed in his mind..

Lu Xun obviously had drunk half of this bottle of sports drink, so wouldn’t he be kissing Lu Xun indirectly if he drank it? And would he look perverted if he would not be able to control his expression when he drank it?

This thought caused Ye Yao to hesitate for a moment, and this hesitation was followed by Lu Xun’s hand around his neck and pulling him closer. ruZJ7D

“You dislike my saliva? I can’t even remember how many times I’ve touched yours.” Lu Xun said in a deep voice.

Lu Xun’s voice was not too loud, but loud enough for the person standing in front of them to hear clearly. The girl’s expression was slightly dumbfounded as she looked at Ye Yao and then at Lu Xun, and suddenly came to a realization as if she understood something.

“I’m sorry to interrupt, I wish both of you happiness!”

The girl hurriedly left, and the corner of Lu Xun’s mouth, which had been drooping, finally curved up in a slight smile. JGHusr

Ye Yao, “You’ve been misunderstood as a gay again.”

“A misunderstanding is a misunderstanding, it’s not like I’m really gay.” Lu Xun said with satisfaction as he watched Ye Yao drink half of his bottle of sports drink, completely unconcerned.

The stadium was a bit far from the dormitory building. Ye Yao and Lu Xun, who were too lazy to walk, swiped the only shared bicycle left.

On their way back, Ye Yao wrapped his arms around Lu Xun’s waist, who was cycling for both of them, and yawned tiredly. 7QyEo8

It was very rare for Lu Xun to be quiet in front of Ye Yao for the first time, and it wasn’t until the bike reached a small, isolated road that Lu Xun finally opened his mouth.

“Student Ye, confession begets leniency, while resistance begets punishment.” Lu Xun said, “If there is anything, I advise you to give a clear explanation here, otherwise don’t blame me for being unkind to you.”

“Explain what?” Ye Yao asked with downcast eyes.

Lu Xun said grimly, “How did you and that girl meet and learn to fall in love secretly behind this Lao Zi’s back?” 7wmxuU

“I didn’t.” Ye Yao replied, “Once before when you were in class, I went to the library to borrow a book and ran into that girl being harassed by a group of people from outside the school, so I stopped by to help.”

Lu Xun was silent for a moment: “Once you had a bruise on your body and I asked you what the reason was, you told me you had accidentally bumped into the corner of the table. So you lied to me, was it because of this?”

“Yes.” Ye Yao admitted.

Once again Lu Xun became silent until he was about to ride out of this remote section of the road before he opened his mouth again. cDWBOR

Lu Xun’s voice was subdued, “So do you like her?”

Hearing this, Ye Yao finally raised his eyes and looked up at Lu Xun, who looked handsome even with his hair fluttering in the wind at the back of his head.

The beloved, who knew nothing of his heart, was still asking him about his affection for other girls.

“No, don’t be ridiculous.” Ye Yao replied slowly, “I have helped you like this previously… have I become a couple with you?” k5Q47d

Lu Xun was relieved and joked again, “It’s not that easy to be a couple with me, how about we have a wedding tonight and sleep in my bed at night?”

Lu Xun was given a few warning slaps on the back by Ye Yao, but the other party didn’t care at all, he just felt that the air was much fresher.

He used to be a rebellious teenager, he could learn everything, but not the right things. Seeing that he was becoming a problem child, his family had sent him to study in a small southern town, hoping that the hard life would rub off on him and change his rebellious self.

Ye Yao was the class monitor at the school where he transferred to. At that time, Ye Yao was just a simple, uninteresting, good student in his eyes and he could stab him to death with just a poke of his finger. 0UCyVd

Until one day he had a conflict with a street bully, who was not a martial artist and had many people attacking him. When the situation became unpleasant, Ye Yao, who was riding his bicycle to his workplace, passed by and helped him and then left without giving him a chance to speak or even look at him. Very cool indeed.

Lu Xun has lived for so long, but this was the first time he had encountered someone who didn’t even bother to say hello after doing a good deed. He was very curious and slowly got to know this good student.

The level of familiarity ranged from saying a few words occasionally, and then to talking every day. It reached to that point where Lu Xun felt uncomfortable when he couldn’t see Ye Yao for a day.

In order to stay with his best friend, Lu Xun worked hard to be admitted to the same University as Ye Yao. QmHOr1

And now there was a certain pitfall in this good life.

In high school, Ye Yao studied hard and it was absolutely impossible to fall in love, but university was different and it was only natural to fall in love.

“Ye Yao .” Lu Xun said seriously, “Don’t get into a relationship yet, you see I’m not in one either.”

“Why,” Ye Yao withdrew his hand from Lu Xun’s waist, “Big Brother Lu hasn’t talked about love, so I, the little brother, can’t talk over you first?” LPRG l

Lu Xun placed Ye Yao’s hand back to his waist: “You are not my little brother, you are my ancestor. If I don’t talk about it, you don’t talk about it. If you don’t talk about it, I can’t talk about it either.”

Ye Yao closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the wind blowing in his ears, “Then you’re at a losing end, you are the campus male god.”

“What is it? Don’t be ridiculous. Don’t say nonsense, just tell me whether you agree or not.” Lu Xun asked.

“Sure.” Ye Yao said yes, but in his heart he did not take Lu Xun’s words seriously. aWhxdu

After all, if it was as promised …. Lu Xun would be following him as a single person for the rest of his life.
