Ye Yao didn’t know how long it took before the bed next to him sank and he was hugged again.
Ye Yao’s head was buried under the quilt, and sensing Lu Xun’s intention to lift his head up, he refused to comply, he would rather die than comply.
It was just fine to let him suffocate inside this quilt.
Lu Xun did not continue to try to raise Ye Yao’s face, but loosened the quilt slightly so that Ye Yao could get some fresh air.
“Why are you so embarrassed?” Lu Xun said with a smile in his voice.
Ye Yao: “…”
Ye Yao did not want to talk, so Lu Xun did not force him. He hugged Ye Yao who was half rolled up, and patted Ye Yao on the back contentedly.
Of course, what he wanted to inhale was not just the clothes in the closet, he also wanted to breathe in Ye Yao himself, or what Ye Yao was wearing, but it was obvious that Ye Yao was not mentally prepared for that right now.
So take it step by step, let Ye Yao gradually get used to it.
Everything he did was in front of Ye Yao, who could see his movements and hear his voice.
He was the only one who could have done this to Ye Yao.
This was a privilege that belonged to him alone.
The secret desire for exclusivity was satisfied, and Lu Xun could not resist from kissing the tip of Ye Yao’s ear.
***
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the May Day holiday was approaching with the eager anticipation of everyone.
Lu Xun booked the air ticket in advance, and had discussed with Ye Yao about the activities during May Day.
First, he would go with Ye Yao to the temple that was said to be very spiritually powerful to make a wish, and then go back to Ye Yao’s house to see Ye Yao’s parents. As a Son-in-Law, he had to show a good performance no matter what!
As for his parents, they were both very busy people, so meeting them could be put off for a bit longer.
Ye Yao had no objection and the two packed their backpacks together.
Packing his backpack should have been quick, but Ye Yao didn’t know what Lu Xun was up to, he was just standing in front of his opened wardrobe for a long time without moving.
“What are you doing?” Ye Yao asked, “You don’t want to be doing… that in broad daylight…”
He didn’t mean to put on tinted glasses, but he now realized that Lu Xun was a man of color, very much unashamed of his yellow skin.
“Eih, what are you talking about, you have such an image of me in your mind?” Lu Xun turned his head, “I was just thinking, what kind of clothes will look better on you when you go out these few days.”
Ye Yao: “…”
But wasn’t that such an image?
Lu Xun wanted to match his outfit for going out, Ye Yao thought about it, and came to the wardrobe too.
He had quite a lot of clothes for summer, in addition to the ones he bought himself, there were also those his family bought for him because they were afraid that he would not be willing to spend money on clothes.
Ye Yao found a pair of casual shorts similar to beach pants that his family bought for him from his wardrobe.
“How about this?” Ye Yao said, “I don’t seem to have worn this type before.”
Lu Xun was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Ye Yao’s legs.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Ye Yao’s legs were wrapped in trousers, but Lu Xun knew how beautiful Ye Yao’s legs were. Slender and well-proportioned, white and straight, such a pair of legs that could easily attract the attention of countless people no matter who they were on, let alone Ye Yao in this appearance.
Tf Tjb rjk Oe Wec ogbkclcu rilutais.

Ye Yao locked eyes with the frowning Lu Xun.
When he used to surf the Internet, he would see girls from time to time saying that their boyfriends would not let them wear miniskirts and suspenders when going out, and that they could only wear long trousers and long skirts when they went out, because their boyfriends were very possessive and didn’t want others to see their legs, so they restricted their attire.
Those people also said that their boyfriends didn’t have bad intentions in doing so, it was just because they liked and cared for them very much.
In the name of love, freedom was bound.
“Do you really want to wear it?” Lu Xun asked again, “That temple is in the mountains and there are many mosquitoes in the mountains.”
“You can spray mosquito repellant and it won’t be a problem.” Ye Yao said.
“… Hmm.” Frowning, Lu Xun took out two pairs of pants that Ye Yao had chosen, and helped Ye Yao put them in his backpack, and then helped Ye Yao get two more pairs of short-sleeves in refreshing colors.
Ye Yao watched Lu Xun put all these clothes into his bag, then Lu Xun turned to his own wardrobe, opened it and rummaged for a while, then pulled out two short sleeves of the same style.
“I don’t care, I want to wear couple’s clothes.” Lu Xun said in a non-negotiable tone, “We are going to wear couple’s clothes every day of May Day.”
Ye Yao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: “Okay.”
***
That temple had not been promoted, nor was it an internet celebrity, it was only spread by word of mouth among the local population. So when Ye Yao and Lu Xun arrived, it was not crowded by tourists and was quite considered as secluded.
Lu Xun was relieved that there weren’t many people crowding around looking at Ye Yao.
There was no cable car here, so you had to go up the mountain yourself. But fortunately, the path was well repaired, as long as you were physically strong enough to walk up, there was no trouble, and many elderly people came to this mountain to cool off and exercise.
Probably because the temple was on the mountain, Ye Yao also saw a fortune teller in the pavilion on the mountainside.
The fortune-teller was wearing a pair of small round sunglasses, and a khaki Taoist robe and hat that were cheaply made, completely in line with what a Taoist priest should dress and look like in the layman’s mind.
Lu Xun’s visit this time was based on completely unscientific prayers. Now that he saw other unscientific behaviors, he couldn’t help but feel a little antsy, and wanted to make a divination first.
“He looks like a fraud, forget it.” Ye Yao held Lu Xun back, “His outfit looks like a cosplay props bought from Taobao, and could almost be worn at a comic-con.”
Lu Xun disagreed with this point of view: “What if? If he dares to say something bad, I’ll scold him. He can’t cheat me out of a few bucks if he says something good.”
Ye Yao let go of Lu Xun’s hand: “…”
Fine, just spend money to buy happiness and have fun.
There were quite a few trigrams available for the person to choose from. You could ask to read the face and palm, and you could infer based on the horoscope of the birth date.
Lu Xun would not casually give out his birth date, and just let the fortune teller do his projections based on his face and palm.
The fortune teller pushed his small round sunglasses, and said in an exaggerated tone, “Oh, your hand is like one in a million! It’s the fate of the rich and powerful, and you will definitely not be an ordinary person in this life!”
From Lu Xun’s appearance and temperament and the way he carried himself, one could say that Lu Xun was not an ordinary person. Ye Yao felt that even he could make up such a lie, but seeing how Lu Xun was listening attentively, he didn’t make a sound to disturb him.
Lu Xun was not interested in the so-called ‘rich and powerful’, he tapped his fingers on the table, interrupted the person in front of him who wanted to continue talking about how rich and powerful he was, and asked directly: “How is my luck in relationship?”
As long as one was not blind, one could tell from Lu Xun’s face that he would have good luck in his relationship, and the fortune teller also opened his mouth and said, “Naturally it is excellent. You are a peach blossom, and you have a smooth journey. If you want to get it, there’s nothing you can’t pick.”
Lu Xun’s eyes sank very subtly.
“And then, how about the later stage?” Lu Xun continued to ask.
The fortune teller stroked his beard: “Very good, loving in your old years, full of children and grandchildren, and all the children born to you and your wife are all promising—”
Just as he was saying what was considered auspicious to everyone, the fortune teller suddenly saw the face of the person sitting opposite turn cold.
“Cheating and pitting, preaching feudal superstition, right?” Lu Xun stood up from his chair, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, “I’m calling the police.”
Fortune teller:”???”
Where did this strange man come from, turning his facade faster than turning pages of a book?
Lu Xun’s serious face was really scary. The fortune teller didn’t even dare to say anything more. He immediately hugged his belongings and ran down the mountain with his bag.
Watching the unsightly person disappearing in front of him, Lu Xun let out a sneer.
Ye Yao stood next to Lu Xun, his hand was held by Lu Xun.
“He can’t calculate.” Lu Xun said with a sullen face.
“En, I know.” Ye Yao also held Lu Xun’s hand, “Brother Lu and I have cut-off all children and grandchildren.”
The phrase ‘cut-off children and grandchildren’, such a curse word, strangely made Lu Xun’s face ease down.
A smile appeared on his face again, he took Ye Yao’s hand and continued walking up the mountain.
***
The temple which was rumored to be very spiritual and effective was not too big or small, and all the furnishings and decorations inside were very simple, but clean and dust-free, giving it a sense of being out of the ordinary.
There were also other people who came to offer incense and prayers, but everyone was very quiet. The temple was lit with incense and the fragrance wafted leisurely, which smells very relaxing.
If you want to make a prayer, you must first purchase the talisman paper that has been blessed by a Master before proceeding to the next steps.
The talisman paper blessed by the Master was being sold for 388 yuan a piece. Ye Yao immediately had the urge to turn around and leave, but Lu Xun had the foresight to put his arms around his shoulders, preventing him from wanting to run away.
“Swipe my card, swipe my card.” Lu Xun muttered, “Give me a chance to spend money for you.”
Ye Yao: “…”
It was not that he was unwilling to spend money, but he thought it was outrageous to sell a piece of yellow paper for 388 yuan.
Forget it, just spend 388 yuan to buy a chance to see Lu Xun’s innermost thoughts.
Ye Yao corrected his mentality, bought the blessed talisman paper, and then went aside to write down his wish.
“Why don’t you let me buy it for you?” Lu Xun’s tone was a bit sulky, and tried to poke his head over to see, “What did you write?”
Ye Yao was too embarrassed to tell Lu Xun that he was going to peek at his prayer later, so he was even more embarrassed to let the victim Lu Xun spend the money.
“It might be more spiritual and effective to spend your own money.” Ye Yao said as he put the talisman paper inside to prevent Lu Xun from peeping: “It won’t work if you say it. This is our first time here, remember to write the wish you want most in your heart.”
So Lu Xun moved back again, leaving a gap between the two of them.
Ye Yao, who didn’t really believe in this, took it as a simple wish, facing the yellow paper, he wrote a few words with his pen.
[May we last for a long time, and we can fish together for a day when we are old.]
They may live a happy and carefree life, untroubled by the world and just doing what they want to do. When it comes to going for fun, the first thing that comes to mind is still each other.
Ye Yao folded the talisman paper in half and tied it with a thread soaked in cinnabar.
Lu Xun on the other side had also finished writing, so they both went together to hang the stuff on the tree.
Ye Yao watched Lu Xun search for a good corner for a long time, found a good spot that would not be blown by the wind, and would not be exposed to the sun, and carefully hung up his prayer.
Lu Xun’s face was full of seriousness: “Do you think it will work?”
“It will.” Ye Yao said softly, “Sincerity makes it spiritual.”
So Lu Xun slightly hooked the corners of his lips: “That’s good, I hope it will come true.”
The leaves rustled as the summer wind blew through. Ye Yao knew in his heart that these words meant that Lu Xun must have written down the deepest desire of his heart.
What could it be?
Lu Xun finally touched his own talisman paper carefully, and then held Ye Yao’s hand: “Let’s go.”
The two of them casually purchased some more peace blessings and a small peach wood sword charm before leaving the temple.
It was a long way down the mountain, but Ye Yao stopped after walking a few steps, and handed his backpack to Lu Xun.
After Lu Xun took it easily, Ye Yao said to him, “I’m going back to the temple to go to the toilet, wait for me here.”
Lu Xun frowned: “I’ll go with you.”
“But we bought peace charms, and I don’t want to bring them near the toilet.” Ye Yao gave his own explanation, “If you are really worried and you don’t see me in ten minutes, go up and find me?”
Lu Xun reluctantly agreed to wait for ten minutes.
Ye Yao returned to the temple alone, his steps hurried, and eventually started to trot, and didn’t stop until he reached the tree.
There are many talisman papers hanging on the tree, but Ye Yao could not mistake the one that Lu Xun had hung up.
The yellow paper was hanging in mid-air by a red thread, Ye Yao reached out his hand, and untied the thread as quickly as possible.
The yellow paper was successfully obtained, but Ye Yao did not dare to open it for a moment.
He had thought well before coming here, that it would be fine no matter what Lu Xun wrote, but it was not until this moment that he realized that he was not at peace inside his mind.
What would Lu Xun have written on it?
Would it be the same as him, wishing for them to be together forever?
Would Lu Xun, who was so possessive of him that he could not hear the hypothesis of separation, and whose feelings were so strong that they were beyond ordinary, have written an unusual sentence?
Or was he too arrogant, that in fact, the deepest desire in Lu Xun’s heart was not for him at all?
He was afraid that Lu Xun would write about him, and also afraid that Lu Xun would not write about him.
Afraid that Lu Xun cared too much about him, and afraid that Lu Xun didn’t care about him that much.
He didn’t have much time to dawdle.
Ye Yao took a deep breath, and opened the folded talisman paper.
Lu Xun’s dashing and powerful handwriting expressed his most sincere wish.
Just a simple phrase.
[I wish Ye Yao good health and happiness every day.]
Ye Yao’s happiness is the most important thing to him😭😭🤧
ye yao’s happiness is with you 😭😭
” […] Lu Xun was a man of color, very much unashamed of his yellow skin.”
