When Lu Xun came back from the toilet, he heard the prelude to a song outside the door.
This was a very popular song. From the perspective of someone who had a crush, it told the humble love of a person silently loving someone. The tune was slightly sad and completely out of line with the theme of their happy birthday party.
He had to find an excuse to cut the song.
Thinking so, Lu Xun pushed open the door and entered.
The slender figure sat alone on the high swivel chair in front of the private room’s sofa. When the person saw him coming in, he raised his head and glanced at him, his expressions were not clear in the dim light.
Ye Yao was the one singing this song.
Before Lu Xun could react, he was pulled to the sofa by the others.
“Brother Lu, come and sit together and listen to Brother Ye sing.” Da Hei said, “Remember to cheer for Brother Ye.”
Ye Yao turned sideways to read the lyrics on the screen, his slightly relaxed back was still straight.
Ye Yao’s singing voice was not the kind of cheerful and lively juvenile tone, it was cold, and when he sang this humble secret love song in a low voice, it conveyed the sadness portrayed in the lyrics.
The orange light flashed on Ye Yao’s neck, illuminating the small bulge of his Adam’s apple on his slender neck.
“I never dared to hope for your response.”
Ye Yao’s lips curled slightly, revealing a simple smile on his face.
“Watching you and her back quietly, the smile on your face was perfect.”
Ye Yao tilted his head and looked at Lu Xun, who was among the group, with the most familiar smile on his lips.
“My feelings are all in the dark, I’m careful to hide it.”
Ye Yao continued to sing sentence by sentence, and Lu Xun’s heart slowly sank.
Lu Xun felt very uncomfortable.
Rationally, he knew that Ye Yao was just devotedly singing, but emotionally, he couldn’t accept it.
This song was not suitable for Ye Yao.
How could Ye Yao humble himself like this?
How could Ye Yao have someone he liked so much, and even felt wronged because of that person? This couldn’t be. No, he couldn’t be.
Lu Xun stood up and walked to the karaoke machine to cut the song. The music had just entered the accompaniment stage in the middle so Ye Yao didn’t need to sing, and Lu Xun took the opportunity to speak.
“Why did you suddenly think of singing this song? There are so many songs in the line, and the later ones may not get their turn. This song is halfway through anyway, so I will cut it, okay?”
Ye Yao just smiled and shook his head.
Lu Xun pursed his lips, although he was not happy, he still listened to Ye Yao and did not move to stop the song.
It was time to start singing again, Ye Yao held the microphone, but this time he did not sing, instead, he spoke.
Ye Yao’s voice was very soft, but through the amplification of the microphone, it still clearly entered Lu Xun’s ears: “Lu Xun, there are a few more words that I have always wanted to say to you.”
Lu Xun was stunned, he didn’t know what Ye Yao was going to say, but he subconsciously felt nervous.
The disco light bouncing in the private room was as panicked as his heartbeat.
“I’ve known you for so long…and I’ve been your best friend for a long time. You’ve always been very kind to me.” Ye Yao slowly told the thoughts that had been buried in his heart, he suddenly laughed at himself, “You shouldn’t have treated me so good.”
After all, people always craved warmth.
“Otherwise, as a straight man… what should I do if I start to like you?”
When Ye Yao said this, he looked straight at Lu Xun.
Lu Xun looked completely stunned, his eyes widened, his thin lips parted slightly unconsciously. The unexpected confession interrupted all his thoughts, and he stood there completely dumbfounded.
Lu Xun’s fingertips were shaking uncontrollably. His back was straight, and he felt the air had solidified, making it difficult for him to breathe.
His close friend was gay and had a crush on him.
Ye Yao liked him.
What was he going to do?

Ye Yao smiled with his eyebrows slightly curved: “I scared you to death, right? Are you thinking about how to tell me to get out? It’s all fake, don’t worry, I have absolutely no crush on you.”
Da Hei and Da Fang, who had been forcibly holding back for a long time, were finally able to laugh unrestrainedly. They slammed their hands on the sofa with laughter.
“Brother Lu’s expression just now! He looked so stupefied, he really believed it!”
“Brother Lu’s world must have been torn apart just now. Brother Lu, pick it up and put it back together again. It can still be used!”
Lu Xun’s brain temperature, which had risen in a few seconds, dropped rapidly in one sentence, and his brows furrowed: “Were you playing me?”
“It’s the Truth or Dare game, Ye Yao just got this.” Da Hei quickly took out his phone and showed the Dare move to Lu Xun, proving Ye Yao’s innocence.
Lu Xun was silent.
Ye Yao got down from the chair and patted Lu Xun on the shoulder: “Did I scare you? Eat a few more pieces of cake later, count it as my apology to you.”
Lu Xun was dragged back to sit on the sofa, listening to others praise Ye Yao’s acting skills.
“As expected of our Brother Ye, not only does he study well, even his acting skills are so realistic!”
“You’re really amazing, how did you come up with those words? I thought you’d just rush up and say ‘I like you’. I didn’t expect Brother Ye to know a lot of bloody lines!”
“Did I act well? I learned from the TV.” Ye Yao smiled.
In fact, he was not an actor, where did his excellent acting skills come from?
Ye Yao asked Lu Xun again, “Have you calmed down?”
“En, order a few bottles of beer.” Lu Xun said in a dull voice, “Drinking can add to the fun.”
Soon all kinds of beer and red wine were sent to the private room to increase the atmosphere of the party.
Lu Xun behaved as usual, but he drank a lot.
Lu Xun usually didn’t like to drink.
Ye Yao took in Lu Xun’s abnormal behavior, and had a guess in his heart.
Sure enough, even if it was just a joke, Lu Xun couldn’t accept it. Being confessed by the same sex was undoubtedly Lu Xun’s minefield. Even if he, his best friend, stepped into the minefield, it would cause Lu Xun discomfort.
Lu Xun should not want to have close contact with him in a short time after this.
At twelve o’clock, the cake was brought up.
“Yeah, eat cake! You eat the core of the cake, while I eat the cake sides, we all have to eat, hehe.” The drunk and generous fool said.
At this time, except for Ye Yao, everyone else had drunk a lot of beer and wine. Their faces were flushed, and they became more and more excited when they spoke.
Lu Xun drank the most, like he didn’t drink enough. Instead, the more he drank, the more aggressive he became.
The cake was placed on the table, Ye Yao walked and made a wish and blew the candles, and it was time to cut the cake.
Cutting a cake was a relatively troublesome job. If it was before, Lu Xun would compete with Ye Yao to cut the cake. Today Lu Xun was in an abnormal state. Ye Yao didn’t want to cause any more disputes, so he took the cake knife and cut it first.
“How can today’s birthday star come to cut the cake!” The drunk big black bellied Lu Xun yelled, “I’ll come, I’ll come, your caring little brother will serve you sincerely.”
Before Da Hei’s hand could reach out, another big hand stretched out and completely covered the back of Ye Yao’s hand with the palm of his hand.
He held Ye Yao’s hand tightly, preventing any possibility of Ye Yao breaking free.
Ye Yao was slightly stunned, turned his head, and looked at Lu Xun.
“Cut the cake.” Lu Xun’s eyes looked cold and sober, but the way he said the words was not in line with it, “Let’s cut the cake together.”
Lu Xun’s sudden contact made Ye Yao sweat, and he said softly, “Okay.”
Hearing Ye Yao’s response, Lu Xun stretched out his other hand and put his arm around Ye Yao’s shoulder, then lowered his head very quickly, rubbed Ye Yao’s cheek, and said, “Cut the cake, let’s cut the cake together. ”
Ye Yao was startled and finally understood.
Lu Xun was 100% drunk!
Ye Yao was held by Lu Xun to cut the big cake on the table. Lu Xun’s face was very serious when cutting the cake, as if this was not an ordinary birthday cake, but a wedding cake, which should be treated carefully.
The two cut the cake into several equal portions, and Lu Xun divided it into one portion per person.
“Eat it well, don’t waste it, don’t you know this is a very important cake?” Lu Xun said fiercely.
“Understood, woohoo, thank you Brother Lu for your reward.” Da Hei stood up and waved one of his hand around while eating, “Is this your bridal chamber? It’s so flashy it makes my eyes dazzled.”
“Today, let’s visit the bridal chamber! First, worship the heavens and the earth, second worship the high hall, and then husband and wife worship each other – go into the bridal chamber! Hehe, hehe.” Da Fang continued to tease and chuckle.
Lu Xun looked around the private room, came back to his senses, slapped the table and said angrily, “What are you all doing in my bridal chamber so late? Is this where you are staying? Go out, go out, husband and wife have to do business already.”
The two really listened to Lu Xun’s words, and walked out dizzily with the cake in their hands, not forgetting to say.
“The leaves are delicate and tender. They can’t stand the ravages. You have to be gentle.” Da Fang said, generously wiping his eyes as if wiping tears, faced Ye Yao and continued to say, “It’s this Mother’s fault who can’t keep you and had to let you marry this bully.”
“Wooo, you get married so soon!”
Ye Yao: “???”
Of course, Ye Yao couldn’t just watch the two drunken men go out like this. He didn’t know where these two drunkards would end up if they left like this. He immediately stood up and was about to pull them back, but he was stopped by the waist before he took two steps.
“You want to run?” Lu Xun, who was holding Ye Yao, said coldly, “Dream on, you have entered my door, now you are my person.”
“You’re all drunk, who told you to drink so much alcohol!” Ye Yao couldn’t break free from Lu Xun’s restraint, so he could only act together according to the situation, “I’ll send them off, this is due etiquette, you have to see them off with me.”
Lu Xun obeyed this time and went out with Ye Yao.
It was past twelve o’clock, and these three people were so drunk that they couldn’t play anything else. Ye Yao simply took the three drunk men to the hotel next door and opened two double rooms nearby.
He helped his two friends to sleep on the bed, and then dragged the tall Lu Xun back to another room.
He tried to coax Lu Xun to the bed, but after Lu Xun got to the bed, he sat upright on the edge of the bed, his eyes sharp as knives.
“Don’t want to sleep yet? I’ll go and pour you some water.” Ye Yao asked.
Lu Xun shook his head and patted the place beside him, so Ye Yao sat down beside Lu Xun.
Ye Yao and Lu Xun looked at each other, Lu Xun’s eyes were dark, making it impossible for people to see through his thoughts.
As far as Ye Yao knew, whenever Lu Xun was this drunk, when he woke up the next day, he would forget what happened when he was drunk the day before.
Lu Xun leaned over so that his shoulders rested on Ye Yao’s shoulders.
“After getting drunk, you will forget about my confession to you, and forget the point where you were uncomfortable, and I will be back to being the number one brother in the world, right?” Ye Yao said.
Lu Xun smiled when he heard the words “Number One in the World”, his hand groped back, as if he was looking for something, but turned back anxiously when he didn’t find it.
“Where’s the bag, where’s my bag?”
“Are you looking for the bag you brought today? I put it on the chair over there for you.” Ye Yao pointed at the bedside chair.
When he came out today, Lu Xun was carrying a bag, and told him mysteriously that it contained his birthday gift, and he couldn’t open it until after a while.
Lu Xun got up and took the bag and placed it between him and Ye Yao.
“Guess what it is?” Lu Xun said proudly, “Guess boldly.”
How could Ye Yao guess it, but when he was holding the bag tonight, he found that the bag was not heavy, and there was no sound when he shook the bag, so he guessed at random: “A picture of you growing up?”
“So you want this?” Lu Xun frowned, “Next time I will give it to you, guess again.”
Ye Yao: “…not pictures, there are clothes inside?”
“You’re so smart, you guessed it right!” Lu Xun excitedly took out the sweater from his bag and held it up to show Ye Yao, “Do you like it?”
Ye Yao looked at the clothes without any brand name, and had some kind of ridiculous guess in his heart. He quickly raised his eyes to look at Lu Xun, and said softly, “I like it.”
Lu Xun’s facial features were three-dimensional and deep. One couldn’t guess if it was an illusion caused by outlines and shadows, or it was influenced by his own mentality, but Ye Yao could see a bit of affection in Lu Xun’s eyes.
No matter who Lu Xun was in the eyes of everyone, this school tyrant who has various hobbies and activities very similar to that of ordinary boys, who couldn’t stand the slightest bit of needlework, grinned happily and said: “I made it for you myself.”
Ye Yao stretched out his hand to stroke the sweater. The fine plush on it was warm and soft, and rubbed softly in his palm.
He suddenly understood what Lu Ming’s unfinished words were referring to. So the reason Lu Xun did not sleep with him for a while was because he was secretly knitting a sweater for him.
No one could be unhappy when they were treated so seriously, Ye Yao’s eyes were a little sore, he blinked to push back the tears threatening to fall down and turned his head away from Lu Xun.
Lu Xun hugged Ye Yao’s waist and put the tip of his nose on Ye Yao’s neck: “Will you wear it for me now?”
“…En.” Ye Yao pushed Lu Xun slightly, unbuttoned his jacket, and put the sweater on his body.
But Lu Xun was not satisfied, he frowned: “This is not supposed to be worn like this.”
“How to wear it then?” Ye Yao asked.
The next second, Ye Yao was pushed back onto the bed.
Lu Xun leaned over him and put a hand on his cheek.
Ye Yao’s waist and abdomen suddenly became cold, and Lu Xun’s other hand came in contact with his skin.
Ye Yao shook, and quickly held down Lu Xun’s naughty hand, and whispered, “What are you doing?”
Lu Xun, who was supporting himself above Ye Yao’s prone body, had an evil smile on the corner of his mouth: “This sweater is for you to wear close to your skin.”
Lu Xun pushed away Ye Yao’s hand holding his hand, and lifted Ye Yao’s clothes.
The white jade-like skin was exposed to Lu Xun’s sight. Lu Xun looked fascinated by the vision, and murmured, “I knew this pink suited your skin well.”
Ye Yao’s waist was thin, and Lu Xun put his hand on the dip on the side of the waist, and he could almost hold the person in one hand.
“Lu Xun!” Ye Yao wanted to fight to break away, but Lu Xun was really strong, not to mention that Lu Xun was drunk now, and his strength was extremely powerful.
His strength was obviously of no comparison with the drunk, so Ye Yao tried to reason with the drunk: “You’re hurting me, let go.”
Lu Xun really relaxed his strength. He felt distressed and kneaded where Ye Yao had just been gripped by him. He also adjusted his position and stepped back, lowering his head and blowing gently on the place where Ye Yao had just been pinched by him.
The cool breath blowing on the skin, coupled with the soreness and itching of his waist, Ye Yao couldn’t bear to raise his head and straighten his long neck.
Ye Yao’s sensitive point was at the waist.
The last time he went to the bath house with Lu Xun, when Lu Xun gave him a bath, he massaged his waist without any evil thoughts, causing him to have an unexpected reaction on the spot.
It was the situation now as previously.
Ye Yao was now lying on his back with his head slightly raised, and could see everything clearly, including the changes happening on his lower body, and Lu Xun staring straight at him…
Compared with a drunk person, the thickness of his skin was completely incomprehensible. Ye Yao pushed Lu Xun away, but was held by his hand.
Lu Xun’s palm was very hot, his breathing was much faster than before, Lu Xun moved forward again, leaned down to Ye Yao’s ear and said earnestly, “Today is your birthday, I’ll lick it for you.”
……What?
This sentence was so vague that Ye Yao didn’t react at once. But when he saw Lu Xun had changed his position again and wanted to lower his head, he suddenly understood what Lu Xun was talking about.
“You’re crazy!” Ye Yao immediately grabbed Lu Xun’s collar, raised Lu Xun’s head, and said angrily, “Do you know what you’re doing? Are you drunk and taking me for a girl?”
Lu Xun couldn’t have drank enough, and he still looked rebellious. He asked inexplicably: “How can you be a girl? You are a man. Have you had sex change surgery? Let me touch it.”
Ye Yao stopped Lu Xun’s hand that was trying to make trouble, and said coldly, “Then what are you talking about, isn’t it disgusting to do such a thing?”
Lu Xun was stunned by this sentence, he slowly frowned: “Do you think I’m disgusting?”
Ye Yao was angered into laughter: “I didn’t say you were disgusting, I meant that you are a straight man. Wouldn’t it be disgusting to do this kind of thing with another man?”
This question made Lu Xun, who was drunk, very incomprehensible: “I’m helping you, how can it be disgusting.” Lu Xun didn’t know what to think, and smiled, “We are… best friends.”
Ye Yao felt like he was punching on cotton, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness, closed his eyes and sighed.
It’s that he didn’t understand the friendship of straight men.
After all, he was bent.
Lu Xun still wanted to make trouble, but Ye Yao didn’t let go of his hand.
“Lu Xun, I’m going to ask you one last time.” Ye Yao asked the drunk man, enunciating his words clearly.
It was only when Lu Xun drank and he couldn’t remember what happened the next day, that he dared to ask this sentence.
“Can you accept that you like the same sex,” Ye Yao said looking into Lu Xun’s eyes, “Can you accept yourself having sex with another man?”
Lu Xun’s expression changed, the original comfortable and pleasant look on his face disappeared, as if he had eaten something weird, and now he was forcing himself to not spit it out.
Ye Yao was not surprised, only felt that it was the case.
It was almost time, it was time to prepare to start alienating Lu Xun.
Thank you so much for the chapter! Also, I bet the only part he focused on was “another” man. Silly baby
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
i’m crying. i’m crying for both sides because both of them have been hurt. the fkucing guts yaoyao has, no, this is the last hurrah. the last push before he forces himself to let go. it’s so weird to tear up during that moment where lu xun was tryingto process yaoyao’s confession. the surge of heat and the sudden cold. and yaoyao… i cna only imagine what one would feel when he cnfessed then claim it was a lie.
+1 yeah, I tried to imagine how Ye Yao could make it sound fake and I couldn’t think of anything. It would have been better if he could.
thank you very much! can’t wait for more!
not to mention this chapter was quite spicy~
hehe, u have left me speechless with that dumb brain of yours lu xun !
Thank You for the new chapter (•‾⌣‾•)و ̑̑♡
im in tears
Ye Yun thinking he’s the ignorant one is so wrong and sad! If he could be confident in trusting his own judgement, I think he’d be comfortable letting Lu Xun ease himself into acceptance. Lu Xun looks at him as outside the definition of male or female like he’s some kind of Divine creature, and also, it’s completely reasonable to get oral for birthdays. (Which was a little more than I needed to hear from my brother’s wife but at least I know he was happy 😅.)
This was like really funny and cute but also that ending NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
nooooooo I’ve caught up!! QAQ
thanks for the chapters <3
My heart is ugly sobbing, my baby Ye Yao..༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
Thank you for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
