Don't Hide From MeCh44 - From Now On You Are Not My Friend

Edited by Elanor

It was only a few steps from the dorm room to the dorm hallway, and if the door was open, Ye Yao could be out in the blink of an eye.

But the door was closed. rvNU2H

The door was even closed by Ye Yao himself, as he wanted to watch variety shows with Lu Xun without being disturbed by the sounds from outside.

Unlocking the door and pulling it open were two simple actions that in normal times would be inconsequential, but now, these two actions determined the difference between success and failure for Ye Yao.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Ye Yao was held tightly.

“Why are you running?” Lu Xun’s deep voice sounded behind him. 1QM3XT

It was difficult for Ye Yao to answer this question, he slowly turned back to meet Lu Xun’s direct gaze.

Lu Xun’s facial features were smooth and sharp, and his eyes were narrow with deep sockets, making him look oppressive when he looked at someone without smiling.

Lu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, “Not even giving me an explanation, running away after ruining my innocence?”

Ye Yao couldn’t defend himself by saying that it was not deliberate – because it was indeed deliberate on his part.

kAjnbl

He deliberately tested Lu Xun, deliberately guided Lu Xun to put his head close to him, and then turned his head for a kiss when Lu Xun was unaware.

“…Sorry.” Ye Yao said, “It was my fault.”

“An apology? I don’t want an apology from you.” Lu Xun gave an inexplicable smile as he pressed closer to Ye Yao’s ear, and the air currents rushed into Ye Yao’s ear as he spoke, “It’s the first time I’ve even been kissed, you know?”

Of course Ye Yao knew that, similarly, it was also the first time he kissed someone just now. dyaI R

…But then again, that accidental brushing of the corner of the lips, actually should not be considered a real kiss.

Such a move that was not considered a kiss caused a chain reaction that was completely out of his expectation.

It was not that he was repulsed or unable to accept it, it was just that it was too sudden, that he inevitably felt….  nervous at this period of time when the relationship between him and Lu Xun was still transitioning.

Ye Yao tentatively said, “Or should I recuse myself for now, and we can talk about this matter later?” o129Op

Lu Xun kept his voice steady and refused: “I don’t want to talk about it later, let’s talk about it now. You’ve ruined my innocence, and I want compensation.”

Lu Xun just stared unblinkingly at Ye Yao.

The distance between him and Ye Yao was so close that he could inhale the scent of Ye Yao’s clothes. He was surrounded by a fragrance that belonged exclusively to Ye Yao and it was something he would never forget in his life.

His face was still warm and the place on his face where Ye Yao’s lips had brushed against was still hot, Lu Xun’s throat twitched slightly, and he couldn’t restrain himself from moving his hand up, gently cupping that snow-white and delicate cheek. gN7lLb

The feel of the hand was tens of millions of times better than he had imagined. Just such a simple touch could make him tremble with excitement.

Ye Yao, whose face was being cupped by him, pursed his lips, and his cheeks puffed up slightly as Lu Xun squished them together. It was almost as if every inch of it had become his favorite spot.

Lu Xun felt that his throat went dry and he was extremely thirsty as he lowered his voice and coaxed: “You let me do what you just did, let me give you a kiss, it has to be fair, right?”

Ye Yao nodded slightly.

The corner of Lu Xun’s mouth curled, and he hurried forward.

He finally got his wish to kiss Ye Yao, openly and honestly. Fia6hV

It smelt so good, his mouth and body were enveloped with the fragrance of Ye Yao that he loves.

Lu Xun did not start the kiss at the corner of his mouth, but at the earlobe.

Obedience, restraint, forbearance, these were the virtues that he tried his best to inculcate in his pursuit of Ye Yao, and they were also the seals he used to restrain his actions. Because he did not want to make Ye Yao unhappy, and he did not want Ye Yao to alienate him.

Lu Xun didn’t know what he would have done if he hadn’t restrained himself. Perhaps on the Ferris wheel at that amusement park, he would have pinned Ye Yao against the glass and forcefully kissed Ye Yao in that small space from where he could not escape. NKngzY

Or when they were eating hot pot together, using the delicious sauce, devour the prey that jumped into his arms automatically.

He had restrained himself tightly, but with Ye Yao’s nod, the seal was broken, and something not-so-good crawled out of the deep well.

This was what Ye Yao allowed, Ye Yao would not be unhappy, he could…do what he wanted to do.

It had been too long since he had been this close to Ye Yao. pkOIVC

Ye Yao’s earlobe was thin and cold, and Lu Xun brought his lips close to it, his breathing became heavy because of the softness.

Ye Yao felt something was wrong, he tried to turn his head over to look, while saying at the same time, “…Lu Xun?”

Lu Xun held Ye Yao’s cheeks in place, preventing Ye Yao from moving or escaping.

The kiss moved slowly from the earlobe to the cheek. HUWq1k

Feeling the warmth of Ye Yao’s snow-white skin, Lu Xun was almost overwhelmed by the surging joy in his heart, and this excitement was also carried over into his movements.

Ye Yao’s cheeks were sunken into the bridge of his nose, and the soft flesh of his cheeks was rubbed back and forth. It was a pleasure to be in contact with his sweetheart, but this strange wonderful feeling that he had never experienced before also made Ye Yao’s whole body tense.

Ye Yao couldn’t breathe even though he didn’t get kissed on the mouth, and he spoke with some difficulty: “Lu Xun? I didn’t seem to…. Have done it like that, did I?”

How could you kiss so…as if you’ve changed into a different person? 3LZfqs

Lu Xun rested his nose against Ye Yao’s face and sniffed, his voice hoarse: “It smells so good, even better than your…..”

“What did you say?” Ye Yao asked hesitantly.

Without explaining further, Lu Xun continued on to his next destination.

The corners of their lips touched, Ye Yao’s chin was pinched by Lu Xun, his head was spinning and the corners of his lips were burning hot. eM7OUE

Ye Yao had a strong premonition, he felt that Lu Xun didn’t just want to kiss the corner of his mouth, but was actually going to properly kiss him.

In the most passionate way possible.

Bang, bang, bang—”

There was a sudden knock on the door against which Ye Yao’s back was leaning on, and Xiao Pang’s voice rang out from outside: “We’re back, Brother Lu, Ye Zi, help me open the door! We can’t open it with the key, how strange is that?” HbsVRh

Startled, Ye Yao pushed Lu Xun off his body and hurriedly said: “Go back to bed or go to the bathroom, fix yourself up before you come out, don’t let them find out.”

Ye Yao pushed Lu Xun to the side of the bed and watched as Lu Xun took a deep breath and rolled onto the bed, only then did he wipe his own face with his sleeve, and opened the door.

“Thanks for your hard work, Ye Zi—ah? Why is your face so red?” Wen Ke was surprised.

Ye Yao wiped his face again and smiled as calmly as he possibly could: “Oh, my skin is a bit sensitive with the recent change of season.” KOyxfV

“In that case, you should be careful. I have a hydrating and moisturizing cream for winter here, would you like to take some and apply it on your face?

As Ye Yao and the others were talking below, Lu Xun sat on the bed, his mind, which had been dazzled by the fragrance of Ye Yao’s skin, gradually sobered up, and his sanity gradually returned.

He recalled the surprise and astonishment in Ye Yao’s voice when he couldn’t restrain himself from kissing him.

He actually knew why Ye Yao was surprised, because his image had been a bit inconsistent with his usual self. U2 moK

In the past, when he wanted to do something bad, he would keep Ye Yao in the dark.

For example, he didn’t want Ye Yao to have the energy to find a girlfriend, so he had deliberately bumped into a tree and hurt his leg to get Ye Yao’s attention. But he would never tell Ye Yao that he hit the tree himself, he would only say that he was hit by someone else.

For example, he did not accept Ye Yao’s distancing from him, so he had done everything possible to follow him, following Ye Yao to lunch without Ye Yao’s knowledge, staring at Ye Yao from a distance, and watching Ye Yao eating so that he could eat.

For example, he didn’t sleep in the middle of the night, and sneaked in the dark to secretly lift Ye Yao’s bed curtains, and looked at Ye Yao’s silhouette for a long time while he slept. 9Xjimp

There were many more, all of which were unknown to Ye Yao.

Therefore, in Ye Yao’s eyes, he was cheerful and warm towards his acquaintances. He probably liked to meddle in things that he shouldn’t be meddling with at times, and he was a bit overbearing, such as preventing Ye Yao from getting girlfriends. But generally speaking, he was quite normal, except that the two of them were too inseparable. That’s all.

But just now, he accidentally revealed a little something that was out of the ordinary.

He had an extremely possessive and exclusive desire for Ye Yao, and he was obsessed with wanting to lick Ye Yao’s whole body. Such extreme feelings may not be accepted by everyone, and some people may feel suffocated and scared and want to run away. q3Edvd

… He needed to be more restrained, and hide any excessive emotions that may cause Ye Yao any discomfort, so that Ye Yao won’t find out.

Ye Yao also went to bed after thanking Wen Ke for the cream.

The curtains enclosed his bed so that no one else could see him, nor could he see anyone else.

Ye Yao was a little hesitant to lift the curtain on Lu Xun’s side of the bed. After what had just happened, he felt that it would be wrong for him to still think that Lu Xun was a pure straight man. jXWfE3

How could a straight man react like that when he was kissed by another man?

If that was straight, then he could also say that he was a straight man, straight as steel.

And when Lu Xun kissed him… he was so enthusiastic. If this was all an act, it would be a waste if Lu Xun didn’t cross industries and become the best acting boss in the entertainment industry.

Rationally speaking, he should lift the bed curtain and explain clearly to Lu Xun. DwxKVg

But he and Lu Xun had just kissed, and after the kiss, the other couples went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers, lying on their respective beds and remembering the details of the kiss. He and Lu Xun, on the other hand, could see each other when they look up, and the distance was all provided by this thin layer of bed curtains, making things somewhat awkward.

… Or they could talk about it tomorrow?

Ye Yao was thinking about it when he saw a bony hand stretched out from Lu Xun’s side, passed through the gap between the bed curtains and the wall, and tapped the wall with bent fingers.

Then the head of a furry teddy bear poked out from behind the bed curtain, looking at him with round eyes. sCxi e

“Is anyone there, is anyone home, can I come in?”

With a sense of helplessness, embarrassment and inexplicable joy, Ye Yao lifted the bed curtain.

This time, Lu Xun poked his upper body in.

The outer bed curtain separated this little side of the world, and they both looked at each other, neither of them speaking first. wFset1

Ye Yao couldn’t hold back, and laughed first.

He smiled, and Lu Xun smiled too.

The tall cool man with handsome eyebrows and a smile in his eyes at this moment, jokingly said to Ye Yao: “What are you laughing for? Happy to see me?”

En,” Ye Yao’s hands under the quilt scratched the sheets as he said frankly, “Happy.” vl 39Z

Ye Yao’s directness stunned Lu Xun for a moment, he came back to his senses, waved to Ye Yao, beckoning Ye Yao to come closer.

So Ye Yao leaned over and heard Lu Xun whisper to him: “I’m really not straight. From now on I’ll pursue you, don’t think of me as a straight man pretending to be gay, okay?”

It turned out that Lu Xun had wanted to tell him this.

“I believe you are not a straight man anymore.” Ye Yao looked at Lu Xun and then glanced away. He whispered, “You should stop pursuing me too.” unH4KI

From heaven to hell in a second, nothing more than that, Lu Xun’s face changed slightly, but he still forced a smile: “Why should I stop? This is my freedom, I will come after you if I want to, you’re in no position to stop me.”

Ye Yao couldn’t hold back another laugh as he reached out and held Lu Xun’s fingertips in his hand.

“I promise you.” Ye Yao said with a smile in his voice, “It’s not impossible for you to continue enjoying the chase if you don’t want to accept it.”

Lu Xun returned to heaven again from the 18th floor of hell within half a second, and he even saw the holy light of heaven. eSLcbz

In the holy light, the beautiful angel said to him: “From now on, you are not my friend anymore, but you are my boyfriend, understand?”
