Lu Xun looked into Ye Yao’s eyes, and was inevitably a little nervous.
For the most part, he was a strong man. Counting back a few years, the option of trying to be pitiful to gain sympathy was not even an option in his world, and if there was a problem, he would deal with it head on.
It was after meeting Ye Yao that he gradually began to learn to do so.
Because he wanted Ye Yao’s eyes to be on him, and he couldn’t do that by being assertive.
And now, being assertive also didn’t make Ye Yao understand how trash a person he had become in the future.
The future one was trusted by Ye Yao, but the future one held this trust but did not cherish it, clearly not treating Ye Yao as his best friend.
With this in mind, Lu Xun’s thick eyebrows furrowed as he leaned towards Ye Yao again and slowly took Ye Yao’s hand under the covers.
Ye Yao smiled slowly and asked, “You will stay with me?”
“En, we’re the same age, so we can exercise together when we need to, so what am I doing exercising alone?” Lu Xun’s voice cooled a few degrees as he thought of the possibility, “Did I want to strengthen my body and die a few years later than you?”
Despite the deliberate attempt to suppress it, the anger and resentment in these words still hit Ye Yao in the face, and Ye Yao knew that he could not let Lu Xun continue to let his imagination run and immediately took Lu Xun’s hand back.
The duvet was warmed by the warmth of their bodies, and the softness of Ye Yao’s face under the bedside lamp was exquisite, with the power to compel Lu Xun’s heart.
“Yes, I would like you to stay with me.” Ye Yao said softly, “Go to sleep, rest today and work out with me later.”
With such a soft voice of coaxing, Lu Xun relaxed a little and closed his eyes.
He would slowly make Ye Yao realize that the old him was not good at all.
*
Ye Yao turned off the bedside lamp and thought in the dark.
Having been with Lu Xun for over ten years, he had a good grasp of the various emotions Lu Xun felt when confronted with him and subconsciously attributed the cause of Lu Xun’s emotions to Lu Xun’s affection for him.
For example, if Lu Xun stared at someone very intently for whatever reason, and Lu Xun deliberately got in front of him, then Lu Xun was jealous.
And now, when he’s put in the shoes of Lu Xun, a purely straight man, there’s nothing at all wrong with him.
For example, what Lu Xun had said to him now, he could totally assume that Lu Xun didn’t like him being too nice to the thirty year old Lu Xun, so he was fighting over it.
…… He felt that this straight man Lu Xun did mean it.
Ye Yao closed his eyes and decided to continue his observations.
*
Ye Yao woke up in the middle of a broad, firm embrace.
For almost ten years of marriage, he had spent most of his time awake in such an embrace, and everything has become habitual.
Ye Yao didn’t hear the alarm clock go off and subconsciously thought it wasn’t time to get up yet, so he settled into that embrace, looking for a more comfortable position.
At this point Lu Xun should have wrapped his arms around his waist and brought him into his arms, repositioning the two of them so that they were closer together, while squinting and giving him a few kisses on the face and mouth.

Ye Yao was used to this pattern and although he hadn’t waited for Lu Xun to reach out and adjust their position, he had already lifted his face up and rubbed it against the person in front of him.

…… Lu Xun, are you sleeping so heavily today?
The body he was burrowing against was so stiff that Ye Yao was confused as to what was wrong and opened his eyes.
In front of him was Lu Xun, whose eyes were round and his face was rigid, as if he had seen the sun explode in front of him.
Ye Yao and Lu Xun stared wide-eyed for a few seconds before sitting up with a start.
He kissed Lu Xun, but he didn’t kiss the thirty-year-old Lu Xun, he kissed the Lu Xun whose memory was stuck at eighteen, the straight man who was so homophobic that he considered him his best friend!
Was it possible to kiss the straight man, Lu Xun? Even if he and Lu Xun used to ‘help’ each other out when they were friends, he definitely didn’t kiss Lu Xun until they had established a relationship, because kissing would not be part of being friends.
Ye Yao had been in society for many years and could still put on a calm face.
“I didn’t wake up and wanted to move my neck, I didn’t expect you to be so close to me, are you okay?” Ye Yao asked.
Lu Xun could not listen to anything Ye Yao said, his mind was buzzing.
Ye Yao just kissed him.
Ye Yao kissed him.
Kissed him.
Him.
Ye Yao’s mouth was so soft.
Ye Yao’s body was also soft.
Ye Yao’s body smells so good.
“…… Lu Xun?” Seeing Lu Xun not moving, Ye Yao reached out and nudged him, worried, “Is there something uncomfortable?”
Lu Xun still didn’t say anything, his face was stiff and he looked quite bluffy.
…… This expression was very similar to the moment when Lu Xun saw the birthday present Ye Yao had prepared for him. He was too shocked and disbelieving and he didn’t know what expression to put on.
Lu Xun was going crazy with joy at the time.
Ye Yao: “……”
Ye Yao’s eyes left Lu Xun’s face and looked down.
When they just started their relationship and also before they both had settled down, when he had kissed Lu Xun tentatively on the cheek, Lu Xun’s physical reaction always shocked him.
And now, Lu Xun was behaving in the same way.
And he didn’t know if it’s because of the early morning body reaction or because of this kiss from him.
“…… Lu Xun ?” Ye Yao nudged Lu Xun again.
“Hmm.” Lu Xun answered this time, bending his legs, hiding his lower body’s reaction from Ye Yao.
“I’m going to wash up and see if breakfast is ready, you can come down later, there’s no rush.” Ye Yao didn’t say much, patting Lu Xun on the shoulder and leaving space for Lu Xun, who was mentally eighteen years old and had a lot of self-esteem.
The chef had already set the table for today’s breakfast and everything was set perfectly.
As Ye Yao ladled a bowl of porridge for both himself and Lu Xun, a bold idea began to emerge in his mind.
When ……he was not yet with Lu Xun, Lu Ming, a gay expert who was Lu Xun’s cousin, once told him that he was much straighter than Lu Xun.
At that time, he didn’t take it seriously at all.
Footsteps sounded at the stairs and Ye Yao saw Lu Xun, who was walking down in a daze.
Ye Yao pulled out a chair from the table and motioned Lu Xun to sit down and eat.
Everything seemed to be normal for Lu Xun, until Ye Yao saw Lu Xun, who was halfway through his breakfast, shoving an unshelled egg into his mouth, so Ye Yao immediately reached out to hold Lu Xun’s wrist.
Lu Xun woke up as if from a dream and jerked his head up to look at him.
At this time, of course, something has to be said.
“It’s probably because I’ve been busy with work these past few days and I’ve been a bit restless in my sleep.” Ye Yao pondered the statement he was about to make and said softly, “I’m sorry I made you feel disgusted and sick this morning …….”
“Don’t tell me you’re sorry, you didn’t do anything wrong.” Lu Xun frowned at once, “And don’t say disgusting, you don’t use words like that on yourself.”
How can a word like disgusting be associated with Ye Yao?
He didn’t feel disgusted at all either.
Ye Yao looked at Lu Xun with quiet eyes and continued, “But you told me before that you hated over-the-top contact between people of the same sex and that it made you sick and want to vomit.”
Ye Yao was telling the truth, and Lu Xun frowned.
Their eyes met and Ye Yao watched Lu Xun’s furrowed brow slowly loosen before finally flashing a smile towards him.
“…… How can you be the same as those people?” Lu Xun’s voice and expression were relaxed, “You’re my best friend.”
Because they were best friends, there was no problem with Ye Yao doing things that would be offensive to him if someone else did them.
Ye Yao’s eyes deepened as he lowered them and helped Lu Xun peel off the unshelled egg and place it in Lu Xun’s bowl.
“Let’s go see your parents after we eat …… They were worried when they heard you were injured.” Ye Yao said.
*
Lu Xun’s parents had been travelling around since they retired, they had houses in many cities and now happened to live in the same city as Lu Xun and Ye Yao.
Ye Yao drove the car and took Lu Xun to his parents’ house.
He had previously told Lu Xun’s parents that Lu Xun’s memory was only at the age of eighteen and that he and Lu Xun were pretending to be friends for the time being, so that Lu Xun would not be stimulated.
Lu Xun’s parents looked at Lu Xun with great surprise after confirming that their son’s health was fine.
Lu Xun was wearing a grey jacket today, Lu Xun’s Father pushed his glasses: “Deep grey, how old are you?”
Ye Yao: “……”
The eighteen-year-old rebellious Son didn’t even want to pay attention to his old man and just stood by Ye Yao.
It was not yet time for lunch, so Lu Xun’s Father made a nice pot of tea and they all had a chat over it.
Lu Xun’s Father took a sip of tea and sighed quietly, “You say you are both old enough, it’s time to find someone, what’s wrong why you’re staying single?”
Ye Yao’s lips twitched slightly, while Lu Xun frowned.
Lu Xun’s Mother picked up the cue, “That’s right, marriage is a big event in life, everyone has to go through it once, it’s a social responsibility, don’t you think so Xiao Ye?”
Ye Yao could tell that Lu Xun’s parents were deliberately joking, after all, all the people here knew they were married and only Lu Xun didn’t know.
Ye Yao responded vaguely and took a sip of tea from his cup.
Lu Xun was so annoyed by this kind of talk that his whole face was grumpy.
“Who says you have to get married these days, what good does it do but get a share of the assets?” Lu Xun laughed coldly, “Whoever wants to get married, I’m never going to get married in my life anyway.”
“What’s wrong with giving your assets to your partner?” Lu Xun’s father was calm and collected and secretly glanced at Ye Yao with a teasing look, “When you get married, you might not just let your partner have a share of your assets, you might be happy not to have a penny on you.”
Lu Xun laughed coldly: “I am not sick.”
Lu Xun paused for a moment and continued to reiterate, “I’m not getting married anyway, don’t rush, it’s useless to rush, no one can make me do it.”
Both Elders looked at Ye Yao, who put down his cup of tea and laughed silently.
It used to be the same way, his best friend Lu Xun, the straight guy, stayed out of relationships and refused to be approached by anyone, just following him around.
Lu Xun always said they were friends who wanted to grow old together.
Ye Yao turned his head to Lu Xun, who was sitting next to him.
Lu Xun still looked rather impatient and clearly did not want to continue the conversation.
“No one can make you like it, including me?” Ye Yao asked.
Lu Xun was stunned and immediately denied it, “Not you, of course.”
“Oh,” Ye Yao laughed again, “that means ……you want to marry me?”
It was a very obvious joke, so he didn’t worry about irritating Lu Xun too much.
This question was obviously beyond Lu Xun’s expectation. Ye Yao just looked at Lu Xun with a smile, seeing Lu Xun’s suddenly stunned expression, and his ears turned a little red from the association.
