Lu Xun watched as Ye Yao stood up with his hand still being clasped by the dancer’s hand, and walked with the beautiful dancer to the open space a few steps away from their table.
His gaze zeroed on the part where Ye Yao held the dancer’s finger, the beautiful lyrical music sounded, and the dancer began to spin and dance.
She opened her arms and swirled out, her skirt flying with her movements. After rotating until the arms of the two people stretched to a straight line, she began to swirl towards Ye Yao, and finally pretended to lean against Ye Yao’s arms.
For various reasons, this kind of dance with strangers would not be too intimate. The dancer looked as if she was leaning on the guest’s arms when she twirled in, but it was just a misplacement, she was not actually leaning on Ye Yao’s arms, there was some distance in between.
However, from Lu Xun’s point of view, he could not see the empty space in the middle, and could only focus on the dancer who was smiling with her eyes closed happily.
Lu Xun’s hand holding the chopsticks was shaking slightly, not because of fear, but because of anger.
How could someone still be leaning in Ye Yao’s arms, smiling so happily?
What did this mean, had this girl also taken a fancy to Ye Yao, and was in love with Ye Yao?
What about him? It was clear that he happily asked Ye Yao to have dinner together, so that the two of them could enjoy their two-people world, and now he had become a third party, an unnecessary light bulb?
Obviously he came first.
Lu Xun rationally knew that it was impolite to rush to interrupt other people’s dances like this, but who could be sensible in this situation?
Lu Xun stood up suddenly, his face extremely scary. The table was shaken by his sudden movement, and the ceramic dinnerwares placed on it clattered.
Ye Yao turned his head when he heard the movement, and gave Lu Xun a fluttering glance.
This glance was not powerful, nor did it carry any threatening emotions. It was a glance just to see what Lu Xun was doing, but it was such a glance that Lu Xun was easily suppressed.
Lu Xun thought of an issue.
If he rushed up to interrupt the dance and pulled Ye Yao away. He would be happy, but Ye Yao would be embarrassed.
Just like when a college student was forcibly taken away by his parents in an Internet cafe, it could be said that this action greatly bruised a person’s self-esteem. Maybe Ye Yao would be angry with him because of this and want to ignore him.
What could he do? He couldn’t lock Ye Yao in the golden house and take coercive measures, demanding that if Ye Yao didn’t want to reconcile with him, he wouldn’t let him out, could he?
Restricting the personal freedom of others was against the law, and Ye Yao happened to be studying the law. Although Ye Yao probably would not send him to jail personally due to consideration of their personal friendship, Ye Yao hated people who knew the law but still broke the law the most, and he couldn’t make Ye Yao hate him.
Lu Xun suppressed the anger in his heart, and sat down slowly and stiffly.
After Lu Xun’s a minute of impatient waiting, the dance interaction finally ended, and Ye Yao also returned to him.
Lu Xun still couldn’t control his temper completely.
“It’s alright.” Ye Yao wiped off the residual perfume smell on his hands with a wet tissue. “Their interaction was pretty good.”
The length of the dance was also very suitable, and it did not make him feel uncomfortable.
Lu Xun’s expression was ugly and totally out of control. He tried to show a gentle smile, but the final result was similar to a widower whose wife had run away.
Anyone could see that he was unhappy, Ye Yao said helplessly: “You… don’t be unhappy, do you want to go to dance too? We each dance once, it’s fair.”
From a friend’s point of view, he didn’t do anything to make Lu Xun feel bad, right? But he had to say that Lu Xun’s possessiveness towards his friends was really too strong.
“What kind of person do you take me for!” Lu Xun was even more angry. He urgently needed to vent his anger. He picked up the knife and fork angrily, dragged a steak across the table, and cut the steak into pieces like it was his mortal enemy.
Ye Yao didn’t want to let Lu Xun remain angry. He thought about it and asked, “Why are you so angry, because I left you to play alone?”
“So Brother Ye also knows that,” Lu Xun’s eyes were full of anger and sorrow, “You spend a lot of time happily partying, and I am alone here, oh, like a useless cabbage.”
“…” Ye Yao asked directly, “The dance took only a short time, how can I be partying?”
Lu Xun cut the steak silently. He cut the steak into a size suitable for one bite, exposing the tender red meat inside.
He actually preferred his steak done rare, but Ye Yao liked medium rare, so he had ordered the steak medium rare.
After Ye Yao was with that girl, would she also follow Ye Yao’s taste when ordering food? Why should a person suffer this grievance?
After cutting all the steaks, Lu Xun quieted down. After a long silence, he suddenly said, “…Do you like her?”
Ye Yao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “No, I just wanted to experience the special activities here. They are all covered with veils, how could I see her face clearly?”

Lu Xun rolled his eyes, but he was a little happier. He used a fork to pick up a sliced steak and took it to Ye Yao’s mouth.
“P’ii offv sbe.” Oe Wec rjlv.
Tf Tjb: “…”
“Tbe kjca ab vjcmf klat ragjcufgr lc qeyilm, yea sbe vbc’a kjca ab fja ktja P ofv sbe?” Oe Wec rjlv uibbwlis.

But if he refused directly, Lu Xun would definitely ask why it was possible before but not now.
Ye Yao thought for a while, reached out his hand on the table, and said tentatively, “Can I feed you as well?”
However, with such a bohemian character, Lu Xun may not be willing to bow his head and eat from his hands…
Before Ye Yao could finish thinking, Lu Xun froze for a moment when he heard the sentence, and then shoved the fork into his hand immediately.
“I’m so sorry, I’m feeling suddenly tired.” Lu Xun said happily, “Then please, Brother Ye, take the fork, and you can do whatever you want.”
Ye Yao: “…”
Miscalculated again.
Ye Yao fed the already forked steak into Lu Xun’s mouth, Lu Xun lowered his head reluctantly and bit the steak from the fork.
He was really happy, sitting up straight with a weird smile on his face. Ye Yao couldn’t help but think, if they were all dogs, Lu Xun’s tail should be wagging to the sky by now.
Was it so much fun to interact with friends? But he was also very happy.
Ye Yao softened his eyebrows and forked some other things for Lu Xun according to Lu Xun’s taste. After feeding him a few times, Lu Xun said, “You eat too. Don’t just feed me.”
Ye Yao felt that Lu Xun was right, so he took a bite then fed Lu Xun another.
Lu Xun watched as the same fork went into Ye Yao’s mouth, and then back into his mouth again.
Lu Xun’s tongue licked on the fork, swept away the food juice on the fork, and squinted his eyes contentedly.
Sure enough, only he could do this with Ye Yao, a good brother could eat what the other party has eaten and drink the water that the other party has drunk.
And taste each other’s saliva without a change on his face.
***
After confirming that Ye Yao didn’t care about that girl, and having a warm meal with Ye Yao, Lu Xun felt at ease.
They went back to school and walked on the cold and quiet campus main road. Lu Xun went to hold Ye Yao’s hand and helped Ye Yao’s hand into his pocket to keep warm.
Ye Yao had no objection at first, but after a few minutes, Ye Yao said seriously, “I don’t think this is right.”
“?” Lu Xun was puzzled, “What’s wrong, you don’t like the size of this pocket? Just bear with it for now, I won’t wear this one next time.”
“…No.” Ye Yao said the planned lines, “I think it’s strange that two boys are holding hands.”
Lu Xun didn’t take it seriously: “Where did you read any strange sayings? It’s not strange at all. You can hold hands whenever you want. No one says it’s strange when so many female friends hold hands every day.”
The warmth in Lu Xun’s pocket was a warmth that could easily make people nostalgic. Ye Yao moved his fingers, found a gap, and pulled out his hand from there.
Ye Yao said lightly: “I didn’t read anything from other places. It was me who suddenly felt it was wrong. Your hands are big and strong, and they are boys’ hands.”
Lu Xun was inexplicable: “Otherwise? Congratulations, after so many years, you finally found out that I am a man?”
Ye Yao turned to look at Lu Xun and said seriously, “After today’s events, I think I should hold a girl’s hand, do you understand what I mean?”
After today, he came into contact with a girl’s hand and realized that he wanted to hold a girl’s hand, not a boy’s hand.
The wind blew, and the heat in his pocket disappeared in an instant.
Lu Xun stopped walking.
A faint fury covered his hard face as he laughed and tried to cover it up with a joke: “I don’t understand, what are you talking about, I’m deaf.”
Ye Yao carefully looked at Lu Xun’s expression and affirmed: “You already understand, then don’t hold my hand casually.”
***
In the dormitory.
Ye Yao went to take a bath, while Lu Xun frantically sent messages to harass his dog-headed strategist Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was completely different from him who has been single for 20 years. Lu Ming has a girlfriend. He was not only an expert when it comes to identifying gay people, but also had much more experience in love between men and women than him.
After Lu Xun sent the words [Are you there] expressionless twenty or thirty times, the dog-head strategist finally replied.
[I’m playing a game… The canyons are flooded with your messages!]
Lu Xun was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and asked directly: [How to kill a relationship that has not yet broken ground directly in the cradle?]
Lu Ming on the other side was shocked, thinking, did Lu Xun finally find out that he was not quite straight? Did he find that his not-so-straight responses were actually killing his relationship with Ye Yao? Should he ask him? No, it was too rude to say it, it was too rude to say it.
Lu Ming typed: [You are willing to… kill this relationship?]
Lu Xun was impatient: [Why would I be reluctant? Don’t waste time talking nonsense, tell me, is there a direct and quick way?]
Lu Ming didn’t understand why he still asked him this question: [If you really want to break up, why don’t you move out of the dormitory and not see him often in the future?]
What the hell?
Lu Xun frowned and read this sentence several times. After realizing what Lu Ming meant, his mood worsened and he typed angrily: [Do you have a brain or is it rice paste? How could I break up with Ye Yao! My relationship with him is going to grow into a towering tree!]
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment: [Then what relationship are you trying to kill?]
Lu Xun: [I suspect that Ye Yao wants to fall in love with a girl.]
Lu Ming: […]
So what he wanted to kill was Ye Yao’s idea of falling in love with a girl?
Shit, Lu Xun really wasn’t straight!
Lu Ming angrily typed: [What I hate most in my life is that gay guys who want to bend straight guys!]
[What’s wrong with a straight guy wanting to fall in love with a girl, can you manage it! You’re temporarily blocked! Don’t look for me again!]
Lu Xun went to msg again, but Lu Ming really didn’t reply to him.
Lu Xun: “…”
Are you crazy! Where did the gay guy bend the straight guy came from!
Wasn’t it normal for a person to not want their best friend to fall in love and leave him behind? And he just wanted Ye Yao to temporarily understand that it was better to develop a friendship with him than to fall in love with girls. It took a lot of energy to fall in love. How could he not help Ye Yao more than his girlfriend?
He could be responsible for Ye Yao’s clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and let Ye Yao concentrate on his studies. If someone else did this, Ye Yao would definitely be scolded for not really loving his girlfriend but instead having the girl in place of a nanny. So what was so bad about being with him and contributing to the development of the motherland?
So hateful!
Ye Yao came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and saw Lu Xun sitting at the desk sadly, looking to be in a bad mood.
Since he told Lu Xun on the way back that he didn’t want to hold hands again, Lu Xun’s mood was very wrong.
Ye Yao could understand, if he was still a straight man, and if Lu Xun suddenly showed interest in other girls one day, and because of this, reduce his contact with him, he would definitely give his blessings but more or less he would be lost and disappointed.
Ye Yao hoped to have a normal relationship with Lu Xun, and knew that he couldn’t just distance himself abruptly. After giving a stick, he needed to give another candy, otherwise Lu Xun would rebound from the bottom, and it would be more troublesome than to forcibly hold hands.
“Lu Xun,” Ye Yao said, “Look at me.”
Lu Xun looked up and his eyes lit up.
Ye Yao was wearing the pink sweater Lu Xun had knitted, he was still dewy from the hot bath he had taken, his cheeks reddened by the hot water.
Ye Yao looked a hundred times sweeter than a Strawberry ice cream, Lu Xun thought to himself.
Ye Yao, who looked soft and delicious, walked in front of him, and Lu Xun hurriedly stood up from his chair to welcome the sweetness.
Because Lu Xun liked to hug Ye Yao every day, he knew Ye Yao’s size/measurements like the back of his hand, and this sweater fitted Ye Yao’s body very well.
Ye Yao touched his sweater and said with a smile, “It’s very soft and comfortable, thank you for the gift you gave me, thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s no problem,” Lu Xun said softly, watching Ye Yao wear the clothes he had made by his own hand, “If you like it, I will make it for you every year.”
Ye Yao smiled helplessly: “In the future, you will have to install a large wardrobe for the clothes you knit every year.”
In the future room with a large wardrobe, who would Ye Yao live with?
Lu Xun had an inexplicable fear in his heart, his throat moved slightly, he leaned down, and said to Ye Yao in a hoarse voice, “Would you like to hug me?”
Ye Yao thought for a while, opened his arms, and gave Lu Xun a hug among friends.
Lu Xun hugged the person in his arms tightly, buried his head in Ye Yao’s shoulders and neck, and desperately absorbed/took in his favorite scent to suppress the inexplicable fear in his heart.
Now that Ye Yao was in his arms, in the future he would do everything possible to keep Ye Yao by his side.
Ye Yao patted Lu Xun’s back and comforted: “Okay, what are you doing with your head down, looking so dejected. Those who don’t know would think I’ve done something bad to you, didn’t I just not let you hold my hand? We’ll be together for many years in the future. We are best friends.”
Lu Xun was gradually appeased, he temporarily released Ye Yao, looked at the chair behind him, then looked at Ye Yao, and suddenly had an idea.
Lu Xun sat down on the chair, then patted his legs and said to Ye Yao, “Sit down, I’ll talk to you, we haven’t talked to each other for a long time.”
Thinking of Ye Yao sitting on his lap and talking to him face to face; this scene was really beautiful!
Ye Yao: “…It’s the weekend, Xiao Pang and Wen Ke went out to play games, and you started to get silly in the dormitory?”
“Come on.” Lu Xun urged, patting his long legs.
Ye Yao refused without hesitation: “No, who would sit on your lap when there is a free chair? If you really want to say something to me, I’ll go get the chair.”
Lu Xun grabbed Ye Yao’s wrist and didn’t let Ye Yao leave: “You want to sit on a cold chair instead of a bouncy human-flesh sofa? Don’t shop around, Brother Ye, this is really the best to use for my family.”
“…” Of course, Ye Yao couldn’t sit on Lu Xun’s lap face to face. He thought of a very immoral excuse, but he could immediately break the current sticky atmosphere. “No, I’m afraid a needle will pierce me.”
Lu Xun looked at Ye Yao: “…”
Lu Xun looked down at himself again: “…”
There was silence in the air.
Ye Yao threw off Lu Xun’s hand and ran away laughing. Halfway through, he was stopped by Lu Xun, who had chased after him.
Lu Xun laughed angrily: “Okay Ye Yao, twenty centimeters can’t satisfy you, right?”
“Hahaha.” Ye Yao laughed calmly, “It’s okay, what’s the use of showing off to me, you’ve been single for 20 years.”
Lu Xun’s anger had no place to go. The man he was angry with was someone whom he couldn’t scold, fight or beat. Finally, Lu Xun’s head was hot, his head was dizzy, he pressed Ye Yao’s waist with one hand, and with the other hand he gave a few light blows on Ye Yao’s butt, this place was the least likely to hurt anyone.
“See if you dare to laugh at me next time!” Lu Xun muttered.
Ye Yao was wearing pajama pants, which were not thick. He clearly felt the hot temperature of Lu Xun’s palm.
Ye Yao: “???”
Lu Xun came back to his senses and realized what he had done, his movements and expressions were stiff.
“You’re not removing your hand yet?” Ye Yao scolded in a low voice.
“Oh oh oh.” Lu Xun let go of his hand and saw Ye Yao’s ears had reddened and he climbed onto the bed.
Lu Xun’s hand squeezed unconsciously, just touched Ye Yao’s finger, as if there was still a touch of softness on it.
Lu Xun sat on the chair for a while, and then staggered to wash as if drunk.
He saw Ye Yao’s most intimate clothes soaked in the basin on the sink. Ye Yao was probably going to wash it, but he was so provoked by him that he forgot about it and went straight to bed.
It didn’t matter, he could help Ye Yao wash.
The Young Master Lu, who was worth over 100 billion in the future, had his hands covered in soap suds, as he diligently helped wash Ye Yao’s most personal clothes, and he couldn’t help but smile.
Ye Yao was really nice, and it was nice to be able to help Ye Yao do the laundry.
