The voice was very soft, if it wasn’t for Lu Xun’s strong arms around his waist, Ye Yao would have thought he was having an auditory hallucination.
Ye Yao turned his head in shock, and his expression was totally incredulous as he met Lu Xun’s gaze who was standing behind him.
Lu Xun’s expression was indescribably peculiar, the corners of his lips were about to rise, as if he was holding back his smile. But after meeting Ye Yao’s unbelievable gaze, the expression disappeared, and Lu Xun’s expression immediately became normal.
“What did you just say?” Ye Yao asked uncertainly.
“Didn’t you hear me clearly? Then I’ll speak louder.” Lu Xun raised his eyebrows, his handsome and reckless expression had no hint of seriousness.
Lu Xun glanced down, “Your little brother is being unruly right? I’ll help you teach this kid a lesson, solve the conflict between you brothers, and make him never dare to oppose you again. What’s the matter, this guy still dares to be mean to you?”
Ye Yao, “…..”
Ye Yao was shocked.
He thought that the best situation would be for Lu Xun to let him go and pretend he didn’t see anything and the two of them would not mention this in the future, they would just move on from it.
Or maybe he could explain the reason to Lu Xun and Lu Xun would just laugh it off.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xun’s way of thinking was far beyond his imagination, and he didn’t even ask for the reason, he just wanted to help him discipline his little brother directly.
“It’s easy to get tired when disciplining children, I’m here to help, don’t worry about it.” Lu Xun adjusted his direction and walked back with his arms around Ye Yao, with the standard expression of a neighborhood bully, “Oh, he will succumb after being disciplined a few more times.”
Ye Yao followed and took two steps, then suddenly came back to his senses and stopped in his tracks.
What was he doing, did he really want Lu Xun to help him?
Lu Xun took him as his brother, and he wanted Lu Xun as his boyfriend. Taking advantage of Lu Xun like this, was not really gentlemanly.
“No, leave him by himself and his anger will dissipate.” Ye Yao quickly broke away from Lu Xun’s hand while Lu Xun was not paying attention, retreated quickly, and hurried to the place where he had put his clothes, “Family affairs are inconvenient for you.”
Ye Yao thought that he had made it very clear and that Lu Xun should not pester him anymore. Unexpectedly, Lu Xun followed up again, Ye Yao could only turn around and resist.
Lu Xun, this bastard, didn’t play fair, and with the speed of thunder, he poked and pinched at Ye Yao’s waist, making Ye Yao almost jump up, and his movements also revealed flaws.
Lu Xun stretched out his hand quickly at the right moment, and took the unruly junior as a hostage, and asked Ye Yao, the elder brother, to stop resisting.
“Why is it inconvenient for me to care about your family affairs? We’ve already slept together, it’s only natural that I discipline your little brother for you.” Lu Xun hugged Ye Yao again with contentment, but he didn’t bring Ye Yao back to the original place. Instead, he just stood face to face with Ye Yao, taking the ‘little brother’ as a hostage with one hand and wrapping around Ye Yao’s waist with the other, preventing Ye Yao from having another chance to escape.
“You… love playing dirty.” Ye Yao’s breath was unstable.
“Hmm.” Lu Xun admitted proudly.
Ye Yao could not say anything anymore, he just closed his eyes and chose to stay silent.
He didn’t say anything, but Lu Xun said, “What are you running for when I turn you over? The best way to deal with this situation, of course, is to pull my hand over to solve the problem. Good brothers help each other, haven’t you heard of it?”
Ye Yao didn’t answer right away, he was silent for a moment before speaking, his originally pleasant voice was a little hoarse,”…I’ve heard of it, but I don’t think you would like it.”
“I would like it.” Lu Xun stared at Ye Yao’s face, his slender and powerful fingers moving to and fro without the slightest omission, “Why won’t I like it?”
Why? Of course, it’s because Lu Xun was a homophobic straight man. Who knew that a homophobic straight man had no fear of this kind of activity involving the same sex, and was even willing to do so?
Ye Yao couldn’t think about so much now, as long as he thought that the person in front of him was Lu Xun, his mind went blank.

The person he was secretly in love with was giving him the further contact he longed for.

In this way, they were even closer.
Ye Yao closed his eyes, and Lu Xun stared openly at the person in front of him, no one could see the excitement and fiery enthusiasm in his eyes.
More and more of Ye Yao’s demeanor that he had never seen before appeared in front of his eyes, Ye Yao’s slightly parted red lips and his white teeth were faintly visible inside, his frowning brows that showed no pain, but a different kind of indescribable pleasure.
Ye Yao’s cool temperament was washed away, and his facial features became more gorgeous, like a flower blooming under sunshine.
The unstained flower was now dyed with beautiful worldly colors.
Blooming beautifully under his hands.
*
When Ye Yao opened his eyes again, his whole soul seemed to be floating in mid-air, but when he looked down at Lu Xun’s hand, his soul instantly returned to its place in embarrassment.
God, Lu Xun was still holding his little brother like that!
Ye Yao stiffly went to get the tissue paper quickly, “I’ll wipe it off for you.”
“No need.” Lu Xun shook his head, took the tissue from Ye Yao’s hand, and slowly wiped off the white fluid that didn’t belong to him, while looking at Ye Yao, his lips curled up, “Are you satisfied with the service provided by Serviceman Xiao Lu?”
Ye Yao, “…Satisfied.”
The smile on Lu Xun’s face widened, “Then boss better remember to pay me back in the future.”
Ye Yao, “…”
“Don’t tell me you want to run away from this debt?” Lu Xun, who had cleaned up, sneered, grabbed Ye Yao’s neck with his arms, pulled Ye Yao’s head closer, and said in a low voice, “You know how to help each other, right?”
As the distance between them narrowed, Ye Yao, who had returned to his senses, also discovered that something was wrong with Lu Xun.
And the place that felt wrong was his lower abdomen.
Why was Lu Xun’s family’s younger generation now being unruly, could this atmosphere be contagious?
That’s true, after all, seeing that he was comfortable, Lu Xun was so excited that he couldn’t wait to try it. It seemed quite normal.
This scene was really not what Ye Yao was good at dealing with. Ye Yao’s embarrassed and unbelievable mood came wave after wave, he calmed down and stretched out his hand, “En, I’ll help you.”
Ye Yao’s hand was not as steady as usual, with a bit of hesitation, his fingertips shrunk, just like its owner’s mood.
However, when the hand reached halfway, it was intercepted.
“Never mind.” Lu Xun said.
Ye Yao was stunned for a moment, his emotions were complicated, he lowered his eyes, and tried to withdraw his hand with a straight face, “Hmmn.”
The hand was caught again, and the man holding him had a happy expression.
“You owe me this for now, and I’ll come redeem it when the time is right.” Lu Xun held Ye Yao’s hand and walked forward, “Otherwise you might think that if we are even, there may not be another next time. Let me tell you— ”
Ye Yao’s heart beat faster and faster, Lu Xun turned to look at Ye Yao, he raised his eyebrows and revealed a smug smile.
“No way.”
How could there be such a good thing?
When a pie fell from the sky and hit him on the head, he was afraid that he would not be full, so he would give him a wholesale every once in a while?
*
When they had returned from the bath, Ye Yao was in a trance, in contrast to the Lu Xun beside him, who was in high spirits.
“How does it feel to have a bath for the first time?” Lu Xun put an arm around Ye Yao’s shoulders, “Is it still acceptable to take a bath in the north?”
Ye Yao pursed his lips and did not speak.
Lu Xun wasn’t bothered even when Ye Yao didn’t answer, he was now holding Ye Yao in his arms and his heart was full of satisfaction.
“When are we going next?” Lu Xun asked.
Ye Yao was silent for a moment, shaking his head.
He would probably never want to go to the bathhouse with Lu Xun again in case he asks for clarification about what happened today.
“Lu Xun, do you know what you are doing?” Ye Yao asked.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Xun looked at Ye Yao’s expression with an open face, and with a wicked smile, he changed from putting his arm around Ye Yao’s shoulder to holding Ye Yao’s hand, “What’s wrong with that, we are best friends.”
In the middle of the night, Ye Yao lay in bed alone and fell into deep thought.
……What type of straight man theory was this?
The two friends helped each other when they didn’t have girlfriends. He had heard this saying when he was a straight man too, but had just scoffed at it at the time.
He couldn’t care less what other people did, and he wouldn’t do that with his friends anyway.
Now he had gone from straight to gay, so he accepted this incident with a smack in the face, but what about Lu Xun?
Lu Xun, a super homophobic straight man, could also accept such intimate behavior between the same sex. Was it because he was too straight, or was it because he was…a closeted homophobe?
He had been friends with Lu Xun for several years, but because his thinking was so different, he couldn’t understand the intentions behind all of Lu Xun’s actions.
Ye Yao thought about it, tucked his head into the quilt and turned on his mobile phone, seeking help from the all-powerful Baidu.
Someone really did ask the same question that Ye Yao was wondering about:
[My favorite homophobic straight male friend helped me solved ‘that’ with his hands …… I’m sure everyone understands when I say it’s subtle! I’m so happy, is it possible he’s not so straight?]
There were quite a few replies below:
[Hello, if he knows you are gay, he’s hitting on you. If he thinks you’re straight, then it’s just normal friend behavior, so don’t think too much about it.]
[pull a few hands down, just this is still a straight man, gay pretending to be straight, I’ll punch you and his face with my fist.]
[It’s hard to say, there is a possibility that he is a closeted homophobe, and there is a possibility that he is straight, so don’t think about it at all. Why don’t you try further? For example, ask him to go to a gay bar and see how he reacts.]
[…… straight? Is there something I misunderstood about the term?]
Ye Yao contemplated.
Taking Lu Xun to a gay bar was out of the question, he didn’t want to go himself and he didn’t want to take Lu Xun to such a place, it was too weird.
However, other softer heuristics could be tried. For example, ask Lu Xun to see a recently released film that had a subtle subplot about a pair of male friends who liked each other, only in the end the two didn’t get together and regretfully missed out.
I wonder how Lu Xun would take to such an obscure plot.
Ye Yao knew that Lu Xun had an aversion to men who were gay, but in all the time he had known him, he had never seen Lu Xun’s reaction when confronted with a same-sex couple.
The reason for this was simple: since they met, the guys, who liked the same sex that Lu Xun had been in contact with, was either because they like Lu Xun or because they like him, and none of these guys have ever gotten on the good side of Lu Xun. The other same-sex couples, on the other hand, hadn’t come in close contact with Lu Xun either.
Tomorrow I’ll go to the movies with Lu Xun.
If Lu Xun was a closeted homophobe, is it possible ……
Ye Yao pursed his lips, turned off his phone screen, pulled the covers off his head – and saw a face hanging directly above him in the dimness.
Ye Yao Yao didn’t even raise an eyebrow and reached out to push the face a little further away.
“Waiting here to scare me?” Ye Yao asked.
Lu Xun held Ye Yao’s hand, “I’m not scaring you, you said you wanted to be alone tonight, so I was just being sweet and didn’t make any noise.”
That’s right, Ye Yao wanted to sleep alone in the bed tonight because he told Lu Xun that today was too exciting and he wanted to be alone.
It’s just that Lu Xun’s bed …… was right next to his, and they slept in the same direction, so even if Ye Yao sleeps alone, he was not more than a hand’s reach away from Lu Xun.
Tomorrow was the weekend, Xiao Pang and Wen Ke would go to a cyber cafe for a night of hacking together, and they didn’t have any concerns about talking and disturbing others.
Lu Xun’s teasing tone was withdrawn, “Don’t look at your phone in the dark, it’s bad for your eyes, I’ll turn on the light if you want to play with it.”
Ye Yao’s hands felt warm as they were held and he whispered back, “No, I just wanted to search for some information.”
Lu Xun, probably satisfied, placed his hand over Ye Yao’s thin eyelids and gave Ye Yao an eye massage while he started to scold at the same time.
“You don’t even think about it, what if you can’t see faces clearly when you’re a hundred years old, and you recognize other old men as me, and take them home with you, and I would have to go and fight with other old men? When you get old, I’m afraid it will have a bad influence.”
“……” Ye Yao was speechless, “It’s not Alzheimer’s, how can I mistake your face, at most, I would mistake your son for you.”
Lu Xun’s hand paused before pinching the flesh of Ye Yao’s cheek instead, and his tone, which had been nice just now, turned cold again, “Nice try, you won’t have the chance.”
Lu Xun stopped and got up, “I think you’re just starting to talk nonsense when you don’t sleep with me for a day. Okay, stop ignoring me, I’ll be quiet and we will still sleep together tonight.”
Ye Yao’s objection was overruled and he was forced to share a single bed with Lu Xun.
Ye Yao was once again engulfed in a familiar embrace, and everything was normal again as if this bed was meant for two people to sleep on.

rae~I’m an innocent child, I did not see anything *puts on sunglasses*
Zaki~ I didn’t watch! Really! 😛 😛
Ela – honestly i am liking this Lu Xun. He takes too much advantage in the name of being straight. He is forcing himself on the Ye Yao.

Zaki~ Thank you Xiang, Lady Titia and Nessas for the treat 🙂 Love you guys 🙂 Happy Reading!!!
Thanks for the chapter hoping to get next chapter soon
I’m trying.. I’m trying… wipes sweat
🤣🤣🤣😛 This “i m trying” made me remember the very famous case right now when the lawyer said that
heheh… patiently waiting for lx’s rough awakening ^^) i want him to suffer a little bit before he gets with my son
he would hahaha oopsie!!
Fellas is it gay to help your buddy rub one out
I, personally, think so. You ain’t helping anyone like that unless your interested.
my straight guy open minded friends said ‘it’s not gay’ if only rubbing out, no kissing, no penetrations etc. just ‘normal’ homies behaviors.. (i was shooked.)
For girls actually something similar. Maybe in school you saw girls kissing each other in lips as greeting, quickly and just like in cheek. Well, later I learned that straight girls don’t do that kind of interaction, cheeks are okay, but lips are instant no.
So I can make a conclusion that guy who okay with helping other guy to solve the situation actually not totally straight, but partly gay, like bi or something similar. It’s normal for them to like girls more, have children and never know that they are not so straight for their entire life. But in the end they are not straight. It’s kinda hard to understand that you are not straight when you still like opposite sex and for someone can be very hard to accept
Holy cognitive dissonance, Batman!
“normal friend behaviour”???? Excuse you, where exactly??????? 🤨
What’s going on?! (/ ▽<)ﾉ YY, wake up! He is not stright at all!
Thank You for the new chapter ( ˘ ³˘)♥
Thank you for the chapter
LX isn’t straight… he probably just doesn’t like the other guys that were hitting him. there’s no way… 😏
With how possessive he is of YY… borderlining yandere… slippery slope. He’ll probaby have a rude awakening when YY has finally had enough. They’re stupid idiots in love and I can already see the storyline…
I am learning the meaning of shamelessness….
definitely the straightest man I have ever read about!
thanks for the chapter <3
+1 the straightest man i’ve ever read about
+2 the STRAIGHTEST man I’ve ever read about
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Thank you for the chapter~
It still shocks me every time someone says this is normal homie behavior….
Thanks for the chapter ~
Ah i really want to give u guys a spouler but i respect the translators this novel is really good 💙
cuffs your wrists and covers your mouth 😛 😛 😛
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Haha is it just me or is it mc a bit dense
bruh Lu Xun doesn’t know what “straight” means, right? 😆
thanks for the chapter!
This old auntie has seen and heard (and married, once) many things. There will always be people who are more open and easy about sharing their bodies. Guys who help each other are often the same ones who are fine sharing a woman at times too. I think it’s obvious that neither of these two are ever going to do that 😂. But I also don’t think Lu Xun would be interested in any other men.
is there a normal friend who would rub another friend? Even if it’s your best friend???
Answer: NO POSSIBLE
😭 I want a boyfriend like that as well.. QAQ 🥺🤧
The more I read Lu Xun, the more I think that Lu Xun is the gay one, but he pretend to be a homophobe because he saw Ye Yao looked uncomfortable when encounter a gay man (courtesy by the men who confess their love to Lu Xun), and he tried to slowly to boil Ye Yao with warm water (you know what I mean).
Thanks for the chapter ❤️
LX’s playing with fire and he’s gonna get burned! Can’t wait for when he finally works it out 😂
Thanks for the chapter 💞
lu xun’s definition of straight men is definitely interesting
❤️❤️❤️
