Don't Hide From MeCh5 - Why Are You Running? I’ll Help You

Edited by Rae and Elanor

Taking liberties with him as a form of revenge?

How should he do it? Cuddle up to Lu Xun and feel his chest and abdominal muscles that look so nice to touch? qep2Jh

Was this a plot of some weird little movie where you could openly make a move on your crush and they would even happily cooperate?

Ye Yao’s eyes drifted for a moment before he met Lu Xun’s gaze and could see the connivance in it.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Well?” Lu Xun was still teasing Ye Yao, “Are you coming or not?”

“Splash…” Bhfygd

Water splashed everywhere as a large handful of it was scooped up and dumped onto Lu Xun. Lu Xun was caught off guard, he let go of Ye Yao’s face and took two steps backwards.

Ye Yao controlled himself and revealed a mocking smile, “Heheh.”

“Fine Ye Yao, sneaking an attack on me?” Lu Xun strode into the bath and tucked Ye Yao’s neck under his arm as he leaned in, “So you want a water fight, come and let me see what you can do!”

In the warm pool water, their smooth skins directly came in contact. Ye Yao couldn’t tell where he touched Lu Xun. The pool water was like a big bed, in which he and Lu Xun were intertwined.

Wd0nwu

It was too close and too hot.

Such contact and rowdiness, it would have taken a miracle for Ye Yao not to have a physical reaction.

Ye Yao pushed Lu Xun out of the way and at the same time, his foot slipped and he sank into the water.

Before he could react, he was scooped up by a large hand supporting against his back. BCKUAE

“Are you okay?” Lu Xun, who was in front of him, frowned and leaned over, “Let me take a look.”

Seeing that their chests were about to touch each other, Ye Yao hurriedly pressed his hand against Lu Xun’s chest preventing him from getting any closer.

“What could even happen to me, this isn’t some bone dissolving pool,” Ye Yao said as he wiped the water off his face and tried to divert Lu Xun’s attention from him. His eyes quickly locked on a wooden bed nearby and he asked Lu Xun, “The furnishings here are quite different from what I imagined. Why is there a bed in the bath house? Is it for people who have passed out to rest?”

Lu Xun’s eyes averted to the bed just as Ye Yao had hoped. He glanced at the bed, the corners of his mouth curved upwards which he then forced back down. Finally unable to keep his face straight, he could only turn his head and silently laugh a few times. yCAtrM

That was not a bed for resting, in fact, that bed was used for when people scrubbed each other down. It seems that this fellow student Ye Yao knew nothing about what was going to happen.

The motherland had a vast territory and there were great differences in the regional customs.

“What are you laughing at?” Ye Yao wondered.

Lu Xun didn’t reply to Ye Yao’s question, instead he asked, “Can I scrub you down later?” pnOckr

Ye Yao kept his guard up, “Just a back scrub.”

Lu Xun smiled a smile full of friendliness, “Don’t worry, I’ll do as you say, don’t you worry about me.”

When Ye Yao laid on it, would it not be him who would have a final say on what to do? Front and back, he could do as he pleased.

Lu Xun adjusted his position and leaned against the edge of the pool alongside Ye Yao. Out of the corner of his eyes, he could easily find Ye Yao’s figure, and even if he didn’t speak, just being in the same space made him feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart. 9KyxRU

Lu Xun took Ye Yao’s hand and held it as usual, and played with Ye Yao’s fingers, circling and releasing them.

Ye Yao was happy to see Lu Xun focus his attention on his hands rather than his body and he waited for his body’s reaction to completely subside before he pulled his hand back.

“I think this is enough,” Ye Yao said, “Let’s finish scrubbing each other’s backs and go back.”

Lu Xun was instantly in high spirits! 9NL2gX

He stepped out of the water, walked over to the bed and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Yao.

“Your exclusive serviceman, Xiao Lu, at your service,” Lu Xun said in a deep voice, “Please lie down.”

Something was different that wasn’t quite what he had expected. W3QIPS

The back scrub here was actually not a back scrub where two people sit on a small bench, with their lower bodies nicely wrapped around by towels and expose only their backs in the name of friendship, why do they have to lie down ah?

Ye Yao thought quickly, taking into account the current situation, and in the blink of an eye understood what a real scrub-down in the bath was.

“I just remembered that I have some urgent business to attend to, so I’m leaving first.” Ye Yao came out of the pool and went straight to where he had put his clothes, only to be stopped halfway again.

Lu Xun had a friendly smile on his face, “Class leader, going back on your word is bad behavior, it takes away trust, that’s what you told me before, remember?” j5I1HA

“I’m very sorry about that.” Ye Yao tried to break away from Lu Xun’s hand around his waist, “But the Ye Yao, who promised to scrub down with you, has rested, I am his second personality, you can talk to him tomorrow. You can scrub by yourself.”

“…… Fuck.” Lu Xun couldn’t hold back his laughter, then with a force of his hand, he lifted the 1.8 meters tall Ye Yao off the ground and carried him to the bed.

Without the water as a shield, the young and energetic body was in full view.

The object of the bed itself was easily reminiscent of other things specially when neither of them had an inch of clothes on. VIBNzv

Ye Yao stiffened uncontrollably and casted his eyes over Lu Xun’s shoulder and behind him.

Lu Xun’s palms were still attached to the back of his waist, and the hot temperature of his hands seemed to melt the flesh there.

Lu Xun initially wanted to push Ye Yao down and get him ready for the rub, but Ye Yao’s tautness was a clear indication of his unease.

Lu Xun thought about it and sat down beside Ye Yao, while withdrawing his hand that was on Ye Yao’s body and resting it on his lap in a disciplined manner. CqynHa

Ye Yao breathed a visible sigh of relief.

“Why are you still so uncomfortable with me?” Lu Xun asked softly.

“I’m not used to it.” Ye Yao said.

“Just because you’re not used to it?” Lu Xun turned his head, his dark eyes, which usually gave an oppressive feeling due to their shape, looked firmly at Ye Yao, but he quickly smiled, dispelling the oppressive feeling. gT6DL8

Lu Xun’s voice to him was still low and gentle, but his eyes were a little dangerous, “Do you know why I want to take a bath with you to deepen our relationship? You’ve been acting a bit strange towards me lately, is it because you have other friends and don’t want to be with me anymore?”

Ye Yao’s heart skipped a beat.

He didn’t expect Lu Xun, who was usually carefree, to be so perceptive in this regard. He was already very careful and thought he hadn’t revealed anything, but Lu Xun still noticed something.

“Nonsense, when have I ever not wanted to be with you?” Ye Yao steadied himself, “And where’s this strange attitude coming from, why don’t I know?” l5QrMd

Lu Xun looked like he was waiting for these words and suddenly narrowed his eyes, “How dare you say that, you have to hesitate to take a sip of my water and sleep with your back to me at night, my heart is broken by you, just tell me how are you going to make up for it?”

“……”

Ye Yao, “What do you want?”

Lu Xun hugged his arms, “What do you think, am I not here to deepen my relationship with you?” To1tue

Ye Yao was silent and Lu Xun did not force him, giving him enough time to prepare. Finally, Ye Yao sighed and slowly laid down.

Lu Xun felt his heart melting from the cuteness of Ye Yao, and the corners of his mouth lifted in happiness.

Ye Yao knew Lu Xun well enough to realize that something was wrong: “Are you setting me up for a trap here?”

“How can I do this classmate Ye, am I such a person?” Lu Xun smiled as he pushed Ye Yao down, his smile not showing the sadness he had shown just now, “Lie down, I’ll start now.” d0mNzO

Ye Yao laid flat on the bed, subconsciously thankful that his front was blocked from the other party but realized in the next second that his entire back was exposed under Lu Xun’s eyes.

Ye Yao turned his head and looked behind him and saw Lu Xun standing behind him without any cover, staring straight at his back…or rather, at the lower part of his back.

Goosebumps appeared all over Ye Yao’s body along with the thoughts that he couldn’t see. He immediately turned over and got out of bed but was pinned down by Lu Xun.

“I am not going to run away, I just want to put on my underwear.” Ye Yao explained. dKmqEI

Lu Xun raised his eyebrows, “Wear underwear? Go outside and ask, who wears underwear when taking a bath? You’re joking.”

Ye Yao gritted his teeth: “If I don’t need to wear it, anyway, you have to wear it. Don’t be standing behind me like this…dangling.”

Lu Xun was amused by Ye Yao’s words. He looked at Ye Yao, then looked down at himself and laughed out loud. In the end, in order to prevent Ye Yao from feeling uncomfortable by the thing he was dangling about, Lu Xun obediently put on a pair of underwear.

Only then did Ye Yao lay face down on his stomach. He buried his face between his arms, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand. As long as his eyes couldn’t see, nothing would happen. ovabxN

There were big hands pinching his earlobes, then he heard that attractive voice that he liked,

“Then I’ll be starting now.”

——–

Ye Yao’s skin was really white, and after being soaked in the bath water, it gave out a lustrous sheen on it. xeKHkg

It looked really clean, and he was actually really clean. After being scrubbed, there was no dirt, but his skin turned red.

Lu Xun looked at Ye Yao’s body carefully, for fear of missing any reaction from Ye Yao.

Lu Xun’s heart was full of unspeakable contentment.

Finally seeing all of Ye Yao, and letting Ye Yao see all of him, there was no more unfamiliarity between them. LFnCkl

He was the only person to have such a contact with Ye Yao and such a special thing was enough to make his heart feel warm.

The place where Lu Xun rubbed gradually moved from the back to the waist.

The waist down was one of Ye Yao’s most private parts.

Ye Yao looked good no matter which part of him he could see, and the place that had never seen the sun was even more dazzling. HFAzN2

It’s just that, the location was special. If he looked at it more, it would look very disrespectful to Ye Yao, so Lu Xun deliberately avoided looking at it. He averted his eyes back to Ye Yao’s back that was rubbed by him and felt the temperature and strength through the bath towel.

Rubbing the towel down at random, Lu Xun saw something and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

There were two small back dimples, sunken in the white body, forming two shadows, making the flesh next to them softer, enticing those who had seen them to poke them.

Would it feel soft if he pressed it? vPeOpu

It was like there were ghosts controlling him, and Lu Xun put his bare hand on them. Holding the white slender waist with his warm big hand, Lu Xun pressed his thumbs into the small dimples and massaged it gently.

So soft.

This was Lu Xun’s first thought, and at the same time, the body he was holding suddenly trembled.

———– UqcG2s

Ye Yao was really convinced that he could control himself.

He was lying on his stomach and reciting the Tao Te Ching in silence. He had successfully recited this and he had calmed his desires now. He was just feeling relieved that he was about to get through this crisis of bathing, when Lu Xun suddenly hit a sensitive point that he didn’t even know he had.

After pressing it for the first time, it seemed that it was enough. Lu Xun continued to press and knead, and seemed to have a strong interest in the dips on his back.

The ache of being pressed and another kind of itching that made Ye Yao’s scalp tingle continued to hit him in waves. At the same time, Ye Yao found in a panic that even when he had no bad thoughts at all, he couldn’t control it. It physiologically produces a certain response. moAe6F

Behind him was Lu Xun, and he didn’t even have a piece of clothing to cover his body. As long as he turned around, Lu Xun would see what’s wrong with him at a glance.

Of course Ye Yao knew that he could tell Lu Xun the real reason truthfully, and Lu Xun, who is also a man would understand him. But as long as he wanted him and Lu Xun to be completely bare and face to face, with Lu Xun staring at him looking at the wrong place, Ye Yao was so embarrassed that his toes were curled up and he wanted to find a piece of tofu and hit himself to death.

No, he must find a way to avert Lu Xun’s attention from that area.

Thinking so, Ye Yao turned slightly and pressed Lu Xun’s hand that was still messing around, “Are you trying to bully me because I’m new to this? This is definitely not something a regular scrub down includes.” Q5hVRZ

Lu Xun raised his head, a smile appeared on his handsome face, “It’s definitely not.”

Lu Xun answered too confidently. Ye Yao was silent for a while and let go of Lu Xun’s hand. Lu Xun was standing on the left side of the bed, Ye Yao turned to the right, slightly propped up his upper body and prepared to get out of bed.

“You’ve already scrubbed my back, now it’s your turn, come and lie down and I’ll put on some pants.” Ye Yao said.

When Lu Xun laid on the bed from the left side, he had already left from the right side to get dressed, just to avoid the embarrassment this time. PqncHk

Ye Yao was thinking about the course of action for a while when he heard a chuckle.

“Who said you’re done?”

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

A hand was placed on Ye Yao’s shoulder. Ye Yao followed that hand and looked up and saw his friend who used to be the school bully, showing his classic wicked smile every time he did bad things.

“You don’t really think that I would just rub your back for you?” RdN3er

Ye Yao, “?!”

The hand on Ye Yao’s shoulder used some clever technique to lay Ye Yao on his side and turn him into a lying position.

“The stomach in front, of course, has to be scrubbed—”

Lu Xun’s smiling voice stopped abruptly, and the smile on his lips froze slightly. CwXk4W

It may sound hypocritical, but Lu Xun always felt that Ye Yao was synonymous with pure heart and few desires, and was different from other bastard men.

So every time he saw other people’s fantasies about Ye Yao, even if they’re well-meaning and likable, he would feel uncomfortable.

The reason for this impression came from Ye Yao’s face and personality and also from Ye Yao’s usual attention and care to privacy in that respect.

Of course every male would have physiological reactions, not to mention that they often sleep together, he should know Ye Yao very well. But in retrospect, Ye Yao would cleverly avoid his sight and touch at this time to avoid possible embarrassment. vWbpA1

In other words, this was the first time Lu Xun had faced Ye Yao’s desires.

The pure white was stained with worldly colors, and Lu Xun’s original views on Ye Yao had  been impacted. This did not disappoint him, nor did he feel disillusioned with anger.

He was filled with indescribable excitement, which started from his heart, flowed through blood into his limbs, and quickly spread throughout his body.

He saw a more comprehensive Ye Yao that he had never seen before. kiTSN

Only he could see this private and hidden side of Ye Yao.

Lu Xun didn’t know what his expression looked like right now, so he could only try his best to restrain himself and not let himself be too excited or look too strange. Ye Yao stared at him for a moment then suddenly looked away, rolled over and got out of bed before striding away.

However, before he could take two steps, Ye Yao was hugged from behind.

Lu Xun wrapped an arm around Ye Yao’s thin waist, and the warm skin and flesh were touching each other. It was a normal contact, but Lu Xun’s mind seemed to explode with fireworks. Ryc6kG

Thousands of words, all kinds of excitement and all kinds of thoughts, finally converged into one sentence.

Lu Xun lowered his head slightly, put his lips close to Ye Yao’s ears, and said hoarsely,

  1. Sorry, but in my mind was only: Why are you running? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?

    Thank You for the new chapter (。’▽’。)♡

    • Actually I asked the same question with a few of my straight-but-open minded best guy friends. Some said, ehh?? never happened, and majority said, they actually do it for fun, like.. “fuck im horny as hell and gunna jerk off someone help me off..” and so the conversation went astray after that, recalling their stuff and trying to call those friends who weren’t present to reminisce with them… while continued drinking..” My sneer never went down after that.. Of course, i have rich materials for blackmail now hahahaha.

      • ????? …??!?!?!?!?! …?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!

        …something new I learned. IM NEVER GETTING NEAR MY BROTHER AGAIN!!! SOCIAL DISTANCING!!!!!!

  2. thanks for the chapter, hoping the little gong gets slapped around a few times for putting ye yao through emotional turmoil #^^) only then will you deserve my son!

  3. i don’t have any words. let me just watch lu xun become bend tho I’m quite sure he isn’t too straight rn too lmao

    ty for the great translation!

    🤭

  4. I’m starting to think maybe Lu Xun is in the demi spectrum? Like I don’t think he has ever been in love with anyone and may find other people who are interested in him disgusting (even if he hasn’t been shown to dislike girls yet, I think he doesn’t like them at all). Lu Xun only seems comfortable with Ye Yao, it is even shown that he wants to be even closer to Ye Yao and only Ye Yao. With the way the story might go (as hinted in the story’s summary), Lu Xun will only ever be attracted to Ye Yao because he has the deepest connection with him. And I think part of why he doesn’t recognize his own behavior as “not straight” is because he doesn’t have any experiences to compare them to (likely because he has never been close to and attracted to anyone besides Ye Yao). Idk, this is just what I think…
  5. ahhhhhh, how does Lu Xun’s brain still function w/ that many holes??

    (on a side note, 180 cm is 5.9 ft which is actually closer to 5’11 (5’10.8) than 5’9 b/c there’s 12 inches in a foot. unimportant, just wanted to let u know)

    thank u fr translating!!! i love this so much!
