Ye Yao took Lu Xun’s hand and walked through the amusement park at night.
Lu Xun helped him hold the glowing transparent balloon, and with the plush bear, the whole scene looked like a fantasy.
Lu Xun was usually a fast walker, but now he was walking slower than a snail.
“The place is too dark, and there are so many stones on the ground to trip on, the design of this path is very inhumane.” Lu Xun moved one step at a time, “Walk slowly Yaoyao ah, don’t fall.”
The playground floor was flat, where would the stones come from? Even though it was night, there was enough light for people to see the path under their feet clearly.
Next to them was a kid who seemed to be about two years old and was walking like a champ. He ran from behind them to the front, and then looked back at their conspicuous pairing, and giggled.
“Gege is walking so slowly, Xiong Xiong is walking so slowly.” The child said, “It’s not as fast as me!”
When the kid was taken away by his parents, Ye Yao looked at Lu Xun.
“Walking on two feet is really difficult for you.” Ye Yao said to Lu Xun, “After all, other bears walk on four legs.”
The slow-moving Lu Xun was not ashamed of his walking speed at all. He shook Ye Yao’s hand, in a vain attempt to absorb the warmth of Ye Yao’s hand through the fluffy leather suit.
Walk slower and they can hold hands longer, maybe the heat would melt the outfit and he would be able to take Ye Yao’s hand directly?
“Human children are very powerful nowadays. They are able to walk on their own at such an early age. I am not as good as them so I’m willing to bow down.” Lu Xun said, “Unlike me, I would have lost the ability to walk independently without Classmate Ye holding me.”
Ye Yao didn’t say anything anymore and after a long time, they finally walked back to the original spot. Ye Yao tried to let go of Lu Xun’s hand, but the bear’s paw remained stuck to his hand after letting go three times in a row.
Ye Yao: “…Enough is enough.”
Lu Xun reluctantly took his hand off and left. The Big Bear, who couldn’t see the road clearly, was walking very fast again, and soon disappeared from Ye Yao’s sight.
The heat covering his palm dissipated. Ye Yao looked again at his hand and sighed softly.

As Ye Yao had to help Wang Xue make up lessons the next day, they did not go back to school, but went directly to the house outside.
Before Ye Yao entered the house and closed the door, Lu Xun finally returned the prize doll bear that Ye Yao had got from playing the airsoft game, the one he had snatched from Ye Yao.
“If you can’t see me, you can look at it more and allow it to be my substitute temporarily for one night.” Lu Xun frowned reluctantly, “You can put it on the bedside table.”
“This kind of toy can be placed on the living room sofa.” Ye Yao took the doll bear.
Lu Xun frowned even tighter: “You treat it as me and have the heart to throw it on the sofa?”
Ye Yao thought for a while, then nodded: “That’s a good point, I should throw it in the kitchen and put it in charge of watching the kitchen knives.”
Ye Yao bid farewell to Lu Xun, whose expression portrayed the words “hello cruelty”. The door closed, and he stood in the living room for a while with the furry teddy bear in his arms before walking towards the bedroom.
The doll bear was put on the chair. Ye Yao went to take a shower and when he came out of the bathroom, he sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the doll bear for a long time, and finally lifted the doll bear and placed it on the bed.
Ye Yao didn’t like to put things on his bed. His bed only had a quilt and a pillow, and there were no extra dolls or pillows.
The doll bear was placed on such a bed, adding a lot of interest to the bed.
Ye Yao followed and lay on the bed. He was lying on his side with his head propped up on one hand, looking at the smiling bear.
The teddy bear’s face was very cute, round and fluffy, almost similar to the bear that Lu Xun had costumed up as. Looking at this bear was like looking at the miniature version of Lu Xun today.
“The kitchen is still a bit too cold.” Ye Yao muttered.
The little bear couldn’t speak, it looked at Ye Yao with a smile.
Ye Yao reached out a finger, and easily pushed the bear sitting on the bed down, pressing his index finger against the doll bear’s soft, cotton-stuffed belly.

“Really getting bent to accept men, ah, straight man?” Ye Yao asked softly.

Sunday morning 08:30 am, Ye Yao sat down at the table with Wang Xue.
“I heard that you did well on your last monthly exam? Congratulations.” Ye Yao casually chatted with Wang Xue, “Your hard work has paid off.”
As soon as he mentioned this, Wang Xue became excited: “Yeah, I did quite well in the exam. I feel that they look at me differently. Brother Yao, you don’t know, the student in front of my desk had a physics problem that he couldn’t solve, and he actually came to ask me! He came to ask me!” Wang Xue’s face almost turned into a flower with a smile, “And I actually solved it, and I explained it to him! Oh my God, it was like a dream.”
The atmosphere of joy could be contagious, and Ye Yao also smiled. He turned the book pages to what he was going to talk about today: “It doesn’t feel worse than winning a fight, does it? Keep on learning, and you will be happier in the future.”
Ye Yao started today’s make-up class, but as he talked, he noticed that his student was derailing, and the distance between the two of them was getting closer.
For the convenience of explaining and writing, Ye Yao had sat next to Wang Xue. There was a normal social distance between them, but now that Wang Xue’s upper body was leaning towards him, the distance between them became smaller and smaller.
Wang Xue’s eyes were not on the textbook, but on his hand and on his wrist, which had a small section exposed.
Ye Yao calmly put some distance between them, and at the same time tapped the table with a pen.
“Concentrate on listening to the lesson.” Ye Yao said.
“Ah? Oh oh oh, I’m listening, I’m listening!” Wang Xue frantically picked up the pen and sat up straight, glancing at Ye Yao’s face with what he thought was a covert glance as his pen scribbled on the draft paper.
Ye Yao continued his lecture, which lasted about 20 minutes and then stopped.
Ye Yao said expressionlessly: “You are not concentrating. If you don’t want to study today then you can leave now, we can continue when your mind is back on your studies instead of focusing on me. If you can’t solve this problem, then replace me as a teacher.”
Wang Xue, who until recently regarded studying as the most painful thing in the world, was not happy when he heard that he didn’t have to study today, and panicked instead.
Wang Xue sat upright and squeezed his pen: “I do want to learn, Brother Yao! I listened carefully, I really listened carefully, you can continue talking ah.”
Ye Yao did not continue, but said bluntly: “You learned well before too, what’s going on today? Just speak up if you have something to say.”
Wang Xue bit his lip, and finally said: “Brother Yao…you’re a sophomore this year, right?”
Ye Yao remained expressionless: “En.”
“Look at the speed of my progress. I did so well in the exam this time and if I work harder for the rest of the year, it’s not like I have no hope of being admitted to your current school, right?”
Ye Yao: “En.”
“Then when I’m a freshman and you’ll be a senior, we can still be at the same school.” Wang Xue fidgeted a few times on the stool, his ears a little red, “Give me a chance to pursue you and be your boyfriend at that time?”
Wang Xue, after a period of hard work, promised to give Ye Yao a house to make Ye Yao feel good, invited Ye Yao to touch his abdominal muscles in an effort to recommend himself, but after Ye Yao stayed put, he felt that he understood something.
For such a capable person, money alone wouldn’t win his favor. He needed to walk by his side in order to have the possibility of having something happening with him.
Wang Xue felt he had made a good point. He waited nervously for Ye Yao’s reply, and then saw Ye Yao shaking his head.
Wang Xue’s mood fell to the bottom and he raised his eyebrows: “Can’t you even give me a chance, Brother Yao?”
“Don’t think about these things.” Ye Yao said, “I don’t like being chased by men, it feels creepy.”
Wang Xue’s mood sank to the bottom of the lake, this was directly hammering him to death in terms of gender!
Wang Xue, who was crying silently in his heart, thought of something: “When I came here, I ran into the person next door, the person who went back to school with you last time, the person you said was a friend.”
Ye Yao raised his eyes: “What about him?”
“He glared at me!” Speaking of this, Wang Xue huffed, “He definitely has bad intentions towards you. You don’t like being chased by men, so you should avoid dealing with him.”
After filing a complaint, Wang Xue saw a gentle smile on Ye Yao’s expressionless face.
“You know he’s chasing you?” Wang Xue said incredulously, “He can chase you, but I can’t?”
Was this the legendary double standard?
The smile on Ye Yao’s face disappeared again: “En, that’s not the attitude of other people who chase me. Do you still want to today? If not, the class will be over for now. You go back and adjust your mood and attitude towards studying.”
***
There was still studying to be done, but Wang Xue, who had seen the double standards of adults, was devastated, so today’s class ended earlier than usual, and the evening tutorial was also temporarily canceled.
It was not yet 5 in the afternoon when Ye Yao stood up and stretched his muscles, and went back to the bedroom to look at the bear.
The cute little bear was wrapped in a quilt, sleeping soundly and sweetly.
I wonder what Lu Xun is doing right now?
Ye Yao took out his mobile phone to check, but he didn’t see any message from Lu Xun asking him to go out for dinner with him tonight.
Ye Yao thought for a while, went straight out and rang the doorbell across the hallway.
He didn’t have to wait long before the door opened, and Lu Xun, holding a kitchen knife, stood at the doorway.
The moment the door was opened, the smell of food filled the room, hitting his nostrils, whetting people’s appetite.
“Class is over so soon today?” Lu Xun frowned, “No way, you didn’t even give me time to prepare the surprise. Is this the legendary God’s wish that never fails?”
“Then shall I go?” Ye Yao said.
“You’re already here and still want to leave now?” Lu Xun pulled Ye Yao by the wrist and pulled him into the room, then closed the door and locked it.
“I’ve locked this door, so Classmate Ye, just stroll around the house for now.” Lu Xun said, and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he thought of something, “If you feel tired, you can go lie down on my bed, whatever you want.”
Ye Yao was not going to lie down, so Lu Xun took out a pot of homemade fruit tea from the refrigerator and poured Ye Yao a cup.
“I don’t normally pour for any random person but I’ll pour for you.” Lu Xun said, “I was going to drink it with you tonight, but since you’re here first, I’ll open it for you first.”
“Aren’t you going to drink?” Ye Yao asked.
“The chef is very busy.” Lu Xun said, “We are having hot pot today, and I have to go and prepare the ingredients. Don’t follow me to help, or else when I ask you how much score I’ll get for today’s date, you’ll say, ‘today is not a date, it’s we cooked-together-date’.”
Lu Xun obviously still felt very upset about the incident, so when he returned to the kitchen, he closed the transparent kitchen door, and seemed to lock it behind him.
Ye Yao sat on the sofa, took a sip of refreshing fruit tea, and smelled the aroma of the hot pot base as it boiled in the pot.
The ice-cold fruit tea in his hand has just the right amount of sweetness, exactly how he liked it.
The tomato-flavored hot pot base was also to his liking.
… The other person in this room, again, was also to his liking.
When a person leaves his hometown and his parents, it is difficult to feel the warmth of home again. But around Lu Xun, he often felt this kind of warmth.
Lu Xun used to say that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him, so why not.
The sweetness of the ice cold fruit tea rolled down Ye Yao’s throat to his heart, nourishing that piece of heart, and allowing the suppressed seeds to break through the ground.
He didn’t want to force Lu Xun who was still straight, but at the same time, he didn’t want to miss Lu Xun who was really bent.
He should stop being a passive observer and take the initiative to attack in order to know Lu Xun’s real attitude.
For example, touching Lu Xun’s lips when he was not prepared, or other parts.
It may be a bit abrupt, but this kind of sudden intimacy would best reflect a person’s true state of mind.
Hopefully… he would see what he wanted.
***
Lu Xun successfully prepared all the ingredients, and happily sat at the table with Ye Yao.
Unlike sitting in a restaurant that had fixed seating, now he could sit however he wanted. Lu Xun tentatively placed his chair next to Ye Yao rather than opposite him.
Ye Yao did not raise any objection and Lu Xun quickly sat down beside Ye Yao.
“There is no ambience when eating too far apart, you have to get closer to make it easier to pick up the food.” Lu Xun picked up his chopsticks and picked up half a bowl of meat for Ye Yao before he could open his mouth, so that Ye Yao would not have the heart to kick him away from his side again.
The two of them never paid attention to eating and sleeping without talking, they always had fun. After eating for a while, Lu Xun suddenly remembered: “Why did class end so early today? Did that high school student become disobedient again?”
“He had a bad attitude towards studying today and was being inattentive, so he was told to go back and adjust his mind and attitude first.” Ye Yao replied.
Lu Xun got the opportunity to boast about himself while stepping down on Wang Xue along the way: “I still have a good attitude towards my studies. In the past, when you gave me extra lessons, I never lost my mind and always listened to what Mr. Ye said, unlike that high school student who doesn’t know any better.”
“Your learning attitude was much better than his.” Ye Yao glanced at Lu Xun.
Lu Xun was delighted by the compliment and couldn’t help having some inappropriate fantasies at the dinner table.
If only they had been together in high school.
Ye Yao would give him extra lessons, and Lu Xun would get a kiss if he got a question right. After a night of tutoring, Ye Yao’s lips would be red from his kisses, and there would be a circle of red around his eyes, and then he could lick those tears away.
“So spicy.”
Lu Xun, who was immersed in his fantasy, heard Ye Yao’s voice and came back to his senses, he turned his head to look, and was taken aback.
Ye Yao’s sauce was probably mixed too spicy, turning Ye Yao’s pale lips, the tip of his nose, and thin skin around his eyes, red.
… It was very similar to the image he had imagined of Ye Yao being kissed hard by him.
Lu Xun’s throat tightened, his Adam’s apple rolled as he poured Ye Yao a glass of ice water.
“Drink something iced to ease your throat.” Lu Xun suppressed his voice and looked at Ye Yao out of the corner of his eye.
He wanted to look at it openly, but he might not be able to control his eyes and might scare Ye Yao away.
“Lu Xun, turn around.” Ye Yao said suddenly.
Lu Xun didn’t know what Ye Yao was calling him for, so controlled his facial expression and turned to face Ye Yao.
Then he saw Ye Yao, whose lips and eyes were glowing red, and who had now made him dare not to look away, slowly lean over.
Ye Yao’s face was getting closer and closer, and Lu Xun could almost hear the sound of his own blood boiling.
He was all tensed up, just so he would not lose his composure in front of Ye Yao.
Lu Xun still couldn’t restrain himself from swallowing, and in the next second, his Adam’s apple, which was sliding due to swallowing, was gently touched by another hand, exerting slight pressure to it.
It was a hand he was too familiar with, whether it was the curvature of the fingertips or the warmth it carried, he was quite fond of.
Lu Xun’s mind exploded with a loud “bang”.
“Here, you’re stained with sauce.” Ye Yao said.
How could Lu Xun hear it? His heart was racing like galloping horses. Ye Yao tried to withdraw his hand, but he held it down again.
“Just a quick wipe and you’re done?” Lu Xun asked in a hoarse voice, “At any rate, you should at least wipe it clean carefully.”

Zaki~ Yao Yao ah, stop testing Xun Xun or you gunna have to dig your own pit LOL. (which I’m sure you’ll be so happy to jump into 😛 )
Hahaha these two! Lu Xun is afraid he can’t control his eyes 😂. And Ye Yao is too busy thinking “now” to remember bath days together when there was definitely reactions going on! Anyway if Lu Xun was so straight, wouldn’t he have been….I don’t know… with a girl?? At some point?
