Married to Ye Yao.
Lu Xun had never imagined linking Ye Yao with the word marriage, and today is the first time he has done so.
And the impact of these two words combined was huge.
He was not a three-year-old child and although he knew that he would never get married in this life, he still had a clear idea of what he could do if he did.
He could kiss his marriage partner at will, and as often as he liked. He could hug that person in his arms and kiss them before getting up every day, just like this morning.
Ye Yao was in his arms this morning, Ye Yao’s body smelled so nice and soft, and his mouth was also fragrant and soft…
Lu Xun’s thoughts drifted further and further away, and the various details of Ye Yao when he woke up this morning played in a loop, heating up his entire body.
Seeing that Lu Xun could not recover from the shock, Ye Yao patted Lu Xun’s arm, interrupting Lu Xun’s thoughts: “Just kidding, we are not going to get married, so if you don’t like it, I won’t talk about it.”
Ye Yao watched Lu Xun recover from his stunned state. Lu Xun did not smile, and said that he knew it was a joke, but slowly restrained all the expressions on his face.
This expression rarely appeared on Lu Xun’s face, but Ye Yao was just reminded of a certain moment a long time ago.
At that time, he confessed to Lu Xun under the guise of playing Truth or Dare, and after the confession, he told Lu Xun that it was just a Dare. This was how Lu Xun went from looking shocked to looking expressionless to drinking hard and getting drunk.
The hot air balloon that had been lifted with high emotions burst, so the whole person’s emotion suddenly dropped, sinking to a low point.
Lu Xun’s parents were not intimidated by Lu Xun’s cold face and Lu Xun’s Father let out a laugh: “You don’t want to get married and have your assets divided? You are really a penny pincher, even Xiao Ye will not marry you if you are like this.”
Lu Xun frowned heavily.
This was what he had said just two minutes ago, and he hadn’t seen any problem with it then, but now he wanted to add an exception to the argument.
If Ye Yao asked him for money, then of course he would give it to him, as much as Ye Yao wanted.
No, he should not wait for Ye Yao to take the initiative to ask him for money, but he should secretly transfer all the money from his card to Ye Yao’s card before Ye Yao opened his mouth, so that one day, if Ye Yao didn’t want him to be his best friend anymore, Ye Yao would have to find a way to repay him the money, which would take a lot of time.
Ye Yao smoothed things over for Lu Xun, who hadn’t changed his mind: “We are best buddies even if we don’t get married, don’t we live together now? It’s the same.”
Of course it’s not the same.
Lu Xun’s heart was filled with inexplicable irritability. He drank a few more cups of tea and got up to go to the toilet.
Ye Yao and Lu Xun’s parents continued to sit and drink tea.
“When you were sophomores, I asked him if he liked you, and he told me not to tarnish your pure friendship.” Lu Xun’s Mother recalled the past, “I was not surprised to find out that you were together later. He looked like that even before, how can he like girls?”
The only straight man in the room, Lu Xun’s Father, heavily affirmed: “That’s right.”

Ye Yao poured new tea into Lu Xun’s parents’ cups, and he couldn’t help feeling a little emotional when he recalled the past.

The family had lunch at Lu Xun’s parents’ place.
After lunch, they stopped disturbing the older generation’s lunch break and drove home.
It was a sunny and cloudless day, which was very suitable for a leisurely afternoon.
The inside of the villa was quiet and cool, giving a pleasant contrast from the outside.
Lu Xun followed Ye Yao inside, his mood was still not exactly high, and he said in a muffled voice, “Do we usually come back to take a nap together?”
“Usually not.” Ye Yao said, “The two of us are always busy with work and have short lunch breaks so we each make do with a nap at the office, but we will have phone calls before going to bed.”
Modern communication was advanced, so it was very convenient to do this. But when making video calls, there was no need to talk to the current Lu Xun about the various video kisses that Lu Xun wanted.
They got up a bit late today, so Ye Yao was not sleepy yet, and neither was Lu Xun, so Ye Yao took Lu Xun to the study.
They didn’t use this study room just for reading and working, they also rested together after reading a book, so there was a comfortably furnished small balcony at the back of the study room.
Ye Yao took a book from the bookcase, and Lu Xun followed him to take a book. The two went out to the small balcony together and sat down on the double reclining chair.
Listening to the chirping of cicadas outside and the rustling of the trees as the wind blew, everything became peaceful and warm.
The double reclining chair was big enough for two people to lie down without being cramped, but Lu Xun had his shoulder pressed against Ye Yao, and he didn’t want to distance himself at all.
Ye Yao straightened his legs, and the sunlight shone on his pinkish little white toes, dazzling Lu Xun.
Lu Xun opened the book in his hand, glanced at Ye Yao’s toes illuminated by the sun, and quickly withdrew his gaze as if his eyes had been burned.
He returned his gaze to the book he had opened, and after a while, his eyes drifted to Ye Yao’s toes again.
For a full ten minutes, the first page of the Geography book was not turned to the next page by Lu Xun.
On this warm and sunny afternoon, Ye Yao’s eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth lifted in a slight curve.
Ye Yao gently blew a breath upwards, blowing the hair up on his forehead, and asked Lu Xun: “Do you think my hair is getting longer in the front and it’s time for a cut?”
“Hmm?” Not being able to fully see the length of Ye Yao’s hair on his forehead while lying so side by side, Lu Xun straightened up from the recliner, leaned his upper body over and brought his face closer, in front of Ye Yao’s.
It was true that some fine strands of hair were a little longer, but this did not make Ye Yao look messy, but rather added a touch of melancholy to his look.
This hairstyle suited Ye Yao very well.
However, other hairstyles were also suitable for Ye Yao. He thought that Ye Yao looked good no matter what hairstyle he had, he looked good in different styles.
Why does Ye Yao look so good and so in line with his aesthetics no matter how old he is?
Lu Xun regained his composure, and answered Ye Yao’s question: “It doesn’t matter if you cut it or not. If you like it, you don’t need to cut it. If you don’t like it, you can cut it.”
“In that case, I’ll leave it uncut for now.” Ye Yao smiled.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Yao raised his right hand, and gently stroked the hair above Lu Xun’s ear with his fingertips.
The hair brushed against Lu Xun’s earlobe under the fiddling of the fingers, bringing a ticklish feeling to the tip of his ear.
And the warm fingers were also on the tip of his ear.
“Your hair is also a little long.” Ye Yao said softly, “It kind of covers your ears.”
The tickle traveled from the tip of his ear to his heart, and Lu Xun’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down: “…Ummm.”
The fingers left from the tip of the ear and came to the back of Lu Xun’s neck.
“Let me see if the hair on your back has grown.” Ye Yao continued.
In the past, Lu Xun would never have let anyone touch the back of his neck like this. But now, he not only let someone touched it, he also lowered his head in response to the strength of that hand, so that it could touch him even more.
His face was right in front of Ye Yao’s, and as soon as he lowered his head, the distance between the two faces became even more closer.
The red lips that had brushed against him only this morning were right in front of his eyes, and he knew how soft they were and how comfortable they were when he touched them. But he had only felt them for a brief moment before the experience was over.
Lu Xun’s Adam’s apple moved up and down, and Ye Yao withdrew his hand from the back of Lu Xun’s neck.
“The length of your hair at the back is still okay, you can cut it with me after a while.” Ye Yao said, “Let’s continue reading.”
So Lu Xun straightened his upper body and slowly returned to the recliner, staring at the book in his hand.
The atmosphere was quiet and perfect for reading. After another ten minutes, Lu Xun was still on the first page of the book he was holding.
Ye Yao said slowly: “Why don’t you turn the page? Are you not interested in this book and can’t read it?”
The silence was broken, and Lu Xun stood up abruptly: “Yes, I’m not interested, this one is too boring, I’ll go and get another one.”
Lu Xun strode into the study inside, while Ye Yao looked at the bright sunshine outside, and smiled softly.
***
Lu Xun fiercely shoved the book in his hand into the bookcase.
Their villa was centrally air-conditioned and the temperature was always right, but Lu Xun still felt very hot.
He went downstairs and brought up two bottles of cold drinks, and after he drank half of his own in one go, he felt less hot and dry, and began to choose books from the bookcase.
There were many professional and specialist books on the side which was Ye Yao’s bookcase. Lu Xun looked at them for a while, and then turned to the front of the bookcase that was supposed to be his.
He still remembered that the future him would not put a group photo next to his bed, and would run off to exercise for a few hours every day before going to bed.
It was inexcusable and unforgivable, that he and Ye Yao were indifferent, who was the mind on that?
He hadn’t figured it out before, but now, looking at the bookcase, he suddenly had a thought.
Ye Yao wouldn’t casually rummage through his things, if he had any secrets that he couldn’t tell Ye Yao… would they be hidden in his own bookcase?
Lu Xun coldly opened the bookcase, and began to look at the books on the topmost shelf.
Lu Xun pulled out the book in the far corner and opened it and just a single glance made his face turn ugly.
This collection of… was not suitable for children.
The pictures were not of a real person, but a very simple sketch. There was no face, no various details, or even gender features, but it still allowed people to see at a glance what they were doing and what posture they were adopting.
A very dry instructional diagram that gave no pleasure to the readers at all, so there was only one reason to look at it– to read it and after reading it, to practice it with someone.
The raging anger spread from the bottom of his heart, and Lu Xun’s hand which was holding the book, clenched tightly, and his fingertips even trembled from the anger.
That future him…did this kind of stuff outside with other people?
So he no longer put a group photo of him and Ye Yao beside the bed, because he was thinking of someone else.
So he will go to exercise for two or three hours every night, heck, who knew if it was real exercise, or it was just an excuse to sneak off and do something shady with other people secretly.
How dare he have someone outside! How dare he have someone outside!
Furious emotions filled Lu Xun’s entire body, and even made him feel dirty when he looked at his own body.
How could such a man like that still deserve to share the bed with Ye Yao every night?
He wanted to completely replace that man, to make Ye Yao completely forget the future him, or be disgusted with him to the extreme.
In this way, if one day he did leave suddenly, Ye Yao would take a large sum of money and kick that scumbag out so hard that they would never see each other again!
