Don't Hide From MeCh46 - I Knew You Weren’t Straight

Edited by Elanor

Ye Yao was taken aback by the sudden kiss.

“Break up, right?” Lu Xun pressed the back of Ye Yao’s head so that Ye Yao’s face could only move closer to his, and he couldn’t move away. Lu Xun nibbled on Ye Yao’s lips as he said coldly in between kisses, “You want to break up, right?” I9Sls

Ye Yao didn’t say anything, and he didn’t have time to do so in this situation.

He just mentioned a possibility that might happen in the future, and Lu Xun’s reaction already exceeded his expectations.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

He only said ‘if they broke up’, but Lu Xun reacted as if he was going to kill him.

In the end, this was an open place, and someone might come in at any time, and it would be a bit embarrassing for others to see the two big men hugging and kissing together, so Lu Xun had to let him go first. mhy6gX

Ye Yao didn’t push Lu Xun away directly, but gently rubbed Lu Xun’s ears and cheeks with one hand, and then moved up to stroke Lu Xun’s not-so-soft hair, soothing Lu Xun gently.

With his gentle stroking, Lu Xun’s movements gradually eased down.

At this time, Ye Yao gently tried to push again, and managed to smoothly push Lu Xun away, but Lu Xun’s face still didn’t look too good.

Ye Yao wiped Lu Xun’s lips with his thumb to clean them off: “Didn’t we kiss for a long time last night, why are you still so impulsive today?”

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Lu Xun became angry again.

“How long have we been together and you’re already talking about breaking up?” Lu Xun frowned deeply, and grabbed Ye Yao’s wrist tightly, his voice tinged with a bit of ruthlessness, “Whether you are with me out of a desire to try it out or not, don’t—”

“Lu Xun.” Ye Yao interrupted Lu Xun, his voice was slightly deep, “I’m very serious about dating you.”

Ye Yao started to get aggressive, but the atmosphere didn’t get more tense. The face of the other person which was terribly fierce just now quickly became softer, and if he were given a tail, he could wag it to the sky. othAjM

Taking advantage of no one around, Lu Xun came over again, this time he simply pressed his lips to Ye Yao’s.

Ye Yao’s mouth smelled so good and tasted so sweet, more delicious than all the cakes he had ever eaten. There was probably no other person in this world who made him so happy when he kissed them.

“The break-up that I had mentioned earlier is hypothetical, so what do you think, have you really thought about going public?” Ye Yao said.

Lu Xun rubbed the tip of Ye Yao’s nose again, before pulling away. Ix0d8L

“Go public, I will say the same thing after thinking about it for another hundred years.” Lu Xun said, “I can’t just be your ordinary friend in the eyes of others, are you willing to go public as well?”

Under Lu Xun’s intense gaze, Ye Yao nodded.

Xiao Pang and Wen Ke were already waiting for them at the dining table, and the two straight male roommates were not suspicious about Ye Yao and Lu Xun’s late arrival. 4LjwFU

“Did you guys go to take pictures too?” Xiao Pang asked, and then said, “I also took a lot of pictures. The view here is really nice, and they even built a small stream! Absolutely great, it’s really good to have money.”

Wen Ke was relatively literary and artistic. He became very poetic, and he recited a poem: “The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows on the stones. It’s wonderful.”

Lu Xun and Ye Yao avoided the subject of what they had been doing and ordered their food together, and while waiting for the food to be served, they naturally chatted with each other.

Lu Xun had not been able to attend Ye Yao’s classes with Ye Yao this semester, and was very upset about Ye Yao being alone in the classroom. Now that he had the opportunity, of course he had to ask carefully. W8H1n7

“Did anyone hit on Ye Zi and talk to Ye Zi in the class these past months?” Xiao Pang didn’t realize the implied jealousy behind this question. With his straight male thinking, he felt that Lu Xun, as Ye Yao’s best friend, just wanted to ask if Ye Yao was having a good time in class, whether he was bored, so he said carelessly, “Of course, we have such a handsome grass like Ye Zi, who wouldn’t want to have a chat with him?”

“….” Ye Yao didn’t want Lu Xun to get the wrong idea, so he quickly clarified the facts, “No, I remember that I basically only chatted with you guys, and I never met anyone who wanted to strike up a conversation.”

“Hey, Ye Zi, you are too insensitive to this aspect. The most beautiful girl in our class always comes to you to ask questions. She has very good grades in her major but she really doesn’t know how to answer some questions.” Xiao Pang shook his head. Looking at Lu Xun again, he gave a thumbs up and said, “But Brother Lu, don’t worry, Ye Zi doesn’t pay much attention to the other men who want to make friends with him, you are absolutely the only one!”

The corner of Lu Xun’s mouth pulled a sinister smile, and held Ye Yao’s hand under the table. UOugzY

Xiao Pang spoke like a straight man, but this straight man didn’t understand, it was simply a description of a best friend.

So Xiao Pang and Wen Ke didn’t think there was any problem with a girl hitting on Ye Yao, because Ye Yao was still single.

But Ye Yao was not single anymore.

Lu Xun was no longer just Ye Yao’s friend either. X5JbE6

The food ordered was served, and everyone was so familiar with each other that there was no need to be polite, so they just picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Ye Yao’s hand was gripped even harder by Lu Xun. He knew that Lu Xun was going to confess, and he returned the grip to give his support. kqdAIu

“It’s very simple.” There was a hint of a smile in Lu Xun’s voice, “This meal is a get-out-of-jail meal.”

Xiao Pang and Wen Ke’s movements froze as they stared at Lu Xun with widened eyes, with two words written all over their faces — ‘don’t believe’.

The smile on Lu Xun’s face widened: “I’m seeing someone, I already have a partner, so I invited everyone to dinner to celebrate.”

This was actually not an illusion! W8uvCq

Xiao Pang choked himself half to death with a mouthful of water: “Cough, cough cough—what the hell?”

Lu Xun could also fall in love?

Chrysanthemum Garden.

In Lu Xun’s world view, wasn’t love just a stumbling block on the path of friendship that you kicked out when you encountered it?

Such a man was actually enlightened and fell in love? XcQnGI

Wen Ke’s chopsticks fell on the floor in shock. He bent down to pick them up, and saw something that made him even more stupefied.

Across from him, Ye Yao and Lu Xun were actually holding hands! Interlocking fingers!

Before Wen Ke could straighten up and get his breath back, he heard Xiao Pang speak.

“Oh my God, oh my God, is this true?” Xiao Pang asked loudly. luMIV5

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xiao Pang said: “Congratulations, Brother Lu for getting out of jail! As expected of Brother Lu, you managed to hide such a big matter, Ye Zi, do you know about this?”

“I know.” Ye Yao said.

Just two short words, Xiao Pang forcibly tasted sadness in them.

His best friend was now in love, even if Ye Yao was going to be alone, he was still happy  that his best friend had a partner. This was really a sad thing. wOf1xq

“Hey, Ye Zi, since Brother Lu is now in a relationship, why don’t you also find one if you have a chance? I actually have contact information that other girls from my class have slipped to me, asking me to help give it to you—ouch! Wen Ke, why are you pinching my waist?”

Cough cough cough!” Wen Ke coughed loudly, “This is not something you can do indiscriminately, it’s not appropriate.”

“Where is it inappropriate?” Xiao Pang was puzzled, “Ye Zi doesn’t have a girlfriend, they can’t both be in love at the same time, so coincidentally they can only find each other as a partner, hahaha.”

Xiao Pang couldn’t help but laugh, and as he was laughing by himself, he noticed that the other three were all looking at him with strange expressions. ebZ7St

“What’s the matter, did I say something wrong?” Xiao Pang was puzzled.

“You’re quite right.” Lu Xun said, “Ye Yao is indeed my partner.”

Xiao Pang, dumbfounded, knocked over the cup next to him with a shake of his hand, and the tea in the cup spilled out, causing Xiao Pang to jump up and dodge, making his chair turn over and fall on the ground.

“…….” 9yaQ0H

After the chaos subsided and everyone had sat down again.

Wen Ke and Xiao Pang confirmed that this was a reality and not a dream. Facing the two friends who suddenly changed from friends to lovers, they looked at each other and offered the most simple blessings.

“Congratulations.”

“It will be love for a hundred years!” n463ed

*****

Lu Xun, whose boyfriend’s identity had become known to others, was particularly happy, and with a little thought he ordered some beer to cheer the group up.

There would be no classes in the first and second periods tomorrow morning, so they didn’t have to pay too much attention to the time.

When it was time to go back after eating and drinking, Lu Xun put his arms around Ye Yao’s shoulders, squinted his eyes and leaned his head on Ye Yao’s head, looking a little unsteady. G1zEdB

“I’m drunk, it’s not convenient to go back to the dormitory. I’m not good at drinking and will disturb everyone.” Lu Xun said.

“Ah? It’s okay,” Xiao Pang didn’t get the subtle hint, “Brother Lu, you treated us to such a delicious meal, what’s a whole night of disturbance—”

Xiao Pang was elbowed again by Wen Ke and suddenly snapped back to attention and shut his mouth.

Wen Ke pushed up his glasses: “I also get a headache and feel uncomfortable all over when I get drunk. The dormitory environment is definitely not as comfortable as a hotel. Anyway, tomorrow’s class starts late, so you can come back in time in the morning.” ONsSdu

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s right!” Xiao Pang nodded frantically.

“That’s what I thought too.” Lu Xun pretended to cough weakly and asked Ye Yao, “What do you think?”

Ye Yao: “…”

In the end, Ye Yao helped Lu Xun to a nearby hotel, Xiao Pang and Wen Ke watched their figures from behind as the two slowly disappeared. kfnCDv

Both figures were tall, and their shadows on the ground were entangled together,  indistinguishable from one another.

Xiao Pang murmured: “I actually feel… After they are together, there is no difference from before.”

“Yeah.” Wen Ke agreed, “They were, ever since before, they were just like that.”

***** OY9jDt

Ye Yao took Young Master Lu into the best hotel nearby and got a room.

Lu Xun stuck to him the whole time, as if he couldn’t walk on his own without him.

“I’m so drunk that I have no strength to walk,” Lu Xun put his arm around Ye Yao’s shoulders, and leaned over to whisper into Ye Yao’s ear, “This kind person who picked me up. Without you, I would have frozen to death on the street tonight. Such a great kindness, I can only repay you with my body and life!”

After taking the elevator to the floor of their room, Ye Yao led Lu Xun out of the lift. Ew1tDk

“Two cans of beer got you drunk, you have no strength, huh?” Ye Yao fished out the room card from his pocket, “I will open the door of the room in a while, whoever enters in there and suddenly becomes infinitely strong, that person will be a puppy.”

The door opened, and Ye Yao led Lu Xun in. The next second, the door slammed shut, and Ye Yao was pinned against the wall.

Lu Xun, who had asked Ye Yao to help him walk just now, straightened up, no longer pretending to be drunk, and pinned him to the wall in front of him.

Ye Yao’s lips were licked, and Lu Xun said with a smile in his voice, “A puppy is a puppy. A clever puppy has meat to eat. A big man has to be unpretentious.” M96hua

Ye Yao shielded his face with his palms facing outwards, so his palms got wet.

From the palm to the fingers, and then to the fingertips, whereupon his palm was rewarded with a wet patch.

Ye Yao lowered his eyes: “Lu Xun… I’m not ready yet.”

Lu Xun laughed: “You dare to come to the hotel with me even though you are not ready, should I say you are very brave, or should I say you trust me too much?” w1ofb7

Ye Yao didn’t say anything, he wasn’t brave, he just liked Lu Xun, so it wasn’t as if he couldn’t push himself a little if Lu Xun expressed a strong desire to do so.

“I’m just teasing you.” Lu Xun kissed his palm again, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything unless you consent, I just want to find a place where we won’t be disturbed by other people.”

“Give me a hug.” Lu Xun said softly.

So Ye Yao opened his arms and allowed Lu Xun to lift him up into the air. L9dnz3

Lu Xun was really strong and could carry Ye Yao around the room in circles.

Ye Yao let Lu Xun hold him, and he was able to chat with Lu Xun: “Xiao Pang and Wen Ke know that you are my boyfriend now, are you happy?”

Lu Xun was reminded by this sentence, he held Ye Yao with one hand, and took out his phone to check the time with the other hand.

It was just after ten o’clock, Lu Xun said happily: “Yes, my parents would be still awake at this hour, I’ll call them and tell them, it’s not enough to just let Xiao Pang and Wen Ke know.” PZ7LzF

“…?” Ye Yao was shocked, “That’s too sudden, isn’t it inappropriate? Wouldn’t it be better to say it in person when I come to visit next time?”

“What are you talking about? How could it be possible for you to hide your identity and come home with me? They must know your identity before you arrive so that they can treat you with the same specifications as their daughter-in-law.” Lu Xun carried Ye Yao to the bed and sat down together on the edge of the bed, then flipped through the contacts interface.

“Wait.” Ye Yao pressed Lu Xun’s hand again, “I have a feeling your family will be stricter, think about the wording again and how you’re going to say it, I’ll call and talk to my parents first.”

Unlike his family, Lu Xun’s family was a wealthy family, with a really big company for Lu Xun to inherit. Lu Xun’s parents had good reasons not to accept their son becoming gay. TIjQGu

Ye Yao held down Lu Xun’s cell phone to prevent Lu Xun from making a call, then took out his own cell phone and called his Mother.

The call was quickly connected, and Ye Yao’s Mother’s voice was still very gentle.

Ye Yao glanced at Lu Xun: “Mom, is Dad by your side? There is something I want to talk to you about.”

Ye Yao’s parents were there, and Ye Yao was a little nervous as he said: “I’m in a relationship.” 6iolNu

Ye Yao’s Mother replied warmly: “That’s good. It’s time to develop your love life and fall in love at University. It is possible that after falling in love, there will be a shortage of money for living expenses, right? Mom will send you money in two days.”

“I have enough for living expenses.” Ye Yao glanced at Lu Xun, “He doesn’t like to make me spend money.”

Ye Yao’s Father interrupted: “Even if the girl is sensible and doesn’t let you spend money, you can’t really not spend any.”

“…Dad, it’s not a girl.” Ye Yao said carefully. Tfosdk

Before Ye Yao could say anything more, Ye Yao’s Mother spoke again: “It’s Lu Xun, isn’t it?”

En.” Ye Yao admitted.

Then Ye Yao heard his parents discussing on the phone.

“Sure enough.” “It’s true, well, you have two sons now.” “I have told you before, how can there be two boys who are so sticky? They must have been secretly together a long time ago without telling us, pretending to be friends.” Hg6uft

Ye Yao: “…”

No, he and Lu Xun were really just friends before and had just gotten together, right?

Ye Yao’s explanation went unheeded and before the end, Ye Yao’s Mother left these words: “Mom and Dad had already guessed it, so you don’t need to hide anything from us from now on, do you understand?”

Ye Yao was still stunned in place after he hung up the call. hrx8Wo

“Hah, our parents have agreed!” Lu Xun quickly changed his address to Ye Yao’s parents, “Okay, we will get married right after graduation. Sigh, Mom and Dad are so discerning.”

His coming out went so smoothly that Ye Yao had no sense of reality, until Lu Xun started hugging him and kissing his face again, and the sense of illusion disappeared. Ye Yao pushed Lu Xun away and wiped his face, watching Lu Xun unlock his phone again.

“I’ll pick an unimportant person to call to practice on what I say first.” Lu Xun said.

Then Lu Xun called Lu Ming. aC4EWH

When the other end picked up the call, Lu Xun said directly: “Hey, I’m dating Ye Yao, so you’ll be the only straight guy from now on.”

“……” Lu Ming over the other side was completely speechless and in a state of utter bewilderment and couldn’t help but start cursing when he finally reacted, “You..&#@&!! I already knew you weren’t straight! You were pretending to be straight! That day when I first saw you with him, I already thought you two were not straight, and you still insisted on telling me that you were straight, you are straight—-”

Lu Xun hung up the call just in time to cut off the uncivilized scolding.

“Very well, practice is over.” Lu Xun said, “I’ll call my Mother now.” o7dkTS

Lu Xun’s call to his Mother was also quickly connected, and it was Lu Xun’s Father who answered it.

“Your Mother is putting on a mask, tell me what’s the matter.” Lu Xun’s Father asked.

Either one of his parents who would pick up the call, Lu Xun said directly: “Oh, let me tell you something important, I’m dating someone.”

“Hey, you’ve actually stopped clinging to Xiao Ye?” Lu Xun’s father said, “I don’t think so. Or, you want to go to his house every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year openly, right?” qHVkvY

Lu Xun exclaimed: “Dad, sometimes you can really read things very accurately.”

Lu Xun’s Father laughed angrily: “Xiao Ye is a straight man who was bent by you!! You’ll see, I will let you know how good you are when you come back——”

The rebellious son Lu Xun hung up the phone, hugged Ye Yao tightly, and happily inhaled the fragrance of Ye Yao’s body.

Both of their parents now knew and agreed to this matter, and now they could be a couple in the open, and would pass through the bright road from now on. Om0bJt

“Yaoyao,” Lu Xun kissed Ye Yao’s lips, and said with a smirk, “Call me husband?”

  1. Lu Xun is really fast once he realises… He took a full 40 chapters to realise. Confessed. Got together in like 2 chapters. Then made it public as well… Lu Xun. I forgive your idiocy.

  2. frogs (parents) slowly boiled (conditioned to accept the idiot couple) in warm water (consistent stickiness year after year)

  3. Honestly lx’s efficiency makes him forgiven for his prior density. Once he realized he liked it he immediately started the plan to put a ring on it huh XD

  4. Lu Xun always cracks me up! At first I thought he wasn’t smart enough and Ye Yao was settling, but Lu Xun has been consistently affectionate, playful and protective (sticky 😄) even before he overcame his conditioning (and bent Ye Yao 😂). I want to hear his mother’s opinion or better yet, see his next visit home!

  5. Pft-! Even the parents thought that they’ve already long together, and have already prepared themselves for the coming out speech. 😂

  6. If it wasn’t for the grandb*@#$’s conversion therapy, what father Lu said would have happened in real.

    I feel so bad for the ‘unimportant person’ 😂😂

  7. I cannot with Lu Xun omg . He was such an idiot for ages but then he’s like a hurricane once he realized he’s gay for YY.

  8. His dad was right 😂 he’s the one who sticking to ye yao from the start without noticing his actual feeling and insisting that it was friendship without knowing he bent ye yao and ye yao actually kind of brainwashed by him that it was how best friend usually get along 🤣
