A key in the pocket was not surprising in itself, most likely Ye Yao slipped the key into his pocket after opening the door.
But their house had a smart fingerprint lock, so there was no need for a key at all, and even if there was a need for it, the key should have been in the pocket of the clothes they wore when they went out, not in the pocket of their pajamas.
What’s more, Ye Yao had been carrying this key with him.
This key had been with Ye Yao longer than he had been in contact with Ye Yao.
With a cold face, Lu Xun threw the key to Ye Yao’s bedside table, then took the key back a few minutes later, and stuffed it back into Ye Yao’s shirt pocket.
Based on Ye Yao’s character, this key probably corresponded to the lock that held valuable company information, after all, Ye Yao was such a straightforward and careful person.
Ye Yao must not find out that he had secretly touched these things, otherwise Ye Yao would be angry with him.
Lying on Ye Yao’s pillow and hugging Ye Yao’s clothes, Lu Xun fell into a state of anxiety.
He and Ye Yao had been friends for so many years, and they had already integrated into every aspect of each other’s lives. For Ye Yao, who was in his thirties, this friendship had turned into a family bond.
It was more difficult to fall in love with people who have known each other for many years and had become very familiar. Because there was a sense of novelty at the bottom of each other’s roots, there was also the stimulation of blushing and heartbeat.
What should he do to be able for Ye Yao to fall in love with him and turn this friendship into love?
Clutching Ye Yao’s clothes, Lu Xun fretfully turned to the side where he usually slept.
He hadn’t been involved for ten years, and he had even turned into the kind of guy who secretly collected such utterly disgusting books.
Lu Xun was disturbed when he thought of that book. He got up from the bed, left the bedroom and went straight to the study, took out the book from the bookcase, went down to the hall, and handed the book to the housekeeping staff who were cleaning the villa.
“Throw it away, as soon as possible.” Lu Xun said coldly.
“Okay Director Lu, I’ll take out the garbage later for disposal.” The Housekeeper asked, “Do you have anything else you want to throw away?”
Lu Xun frowned.
When one cockroach was found at home, there might be a thousand cockroaches in hidden corners.
In the same way, if there was a book hidden in the corner of his bookcase, then there could also be dirty and unpleasant things hidden in other hidden corners.
After asking the housekeeping staff to dispose of this batch of garbage first, Lu Xun began to search for hidden corners while Ye Yao was not at home.
Since Ye Yao would not have gone through his things without permission, the suspicious items must have been hidden in a space that belonged to him alone and not in a shared space.
There were not many places in this house that belonged to him alone and were not shared with Ye Yao.
Lu Xun came to the cloakroom.
Because he had to attend various high-end occasions, he owned a lot of custom-made clothes, and Ye Yao also had a lot.

Of course, a small wardrobe could not hold these clothes, so their cloakroom was very large.

This was his private space, and he didn’t believe that Ye Yao would dig through his side of the wardrobe.
He slowly opened the door of the corner closet that he hadn’t been paying attention to before, and saw all kinds of neatly hung coats and shirts, everything looked the same and unaltered.
Lu Xun moved his gaze down to the folded and neatly arranged trousers.
Without hesitation, he reached out his hand and lifted the pile of well-made trousers.
The appearance of neatness and normality was destroyed, revealing the hidden truth beneath—among a pile of classic trousers, were several pairs of underwear that, not only didn’t seem to fit his size at all, they also looked lewd!
Lu Xun’s fist was clenched at this moment, his anger burned through him internally, and he slammed the closet shut with a fierce ‘thud’.
I don’t want it, I don’t want all the clothes in it, including this wardrobe, it’s too dirty and disgusting.
He could not understand, and would never understand, what exactly was the basis of thought that led him to do what he did.
Strong nausea and revulsion surged up, Lu Xun took a deep breath and left this corner, and went to Ye Yao’s closet.
He opened the door of Ye Yao’s wardrobe, poked in and breathed in the scent of Ye Yao’s clothes inside.
The strong feeling of nausea in his heart was gradually suppressed by the aromatic surroundings, and Lu Xun tried his best to calm down.
He had to look elsewhere if there were still some equally disgusting things in his corner. If there were, he had to clean up all the garbage and leave nothing behind.
After holding Ye Yao’s clothes and giving them a few sniffs, Lu Xun returned from the cloakroom to the bedroom.
The bedroom was where he and Ye Yao slept together, and his personal space was also very little.
Lu Xun turned his gaze to the half of the bed that belonged to him.
He lifted the sheet and found nothing suspicious. The mattress and pillows were turned over, and again everything was as usual.
Lu Xun quickly turned his attention to the bedside table.
This place was 100% suspicious. Last time, he found that the drawer was locked.
The place where he and Ye Yao lived together, if there was a clear conscience, what reason was there to lock the drawer?
Lu Xun pulled the drawer again, and unsurprisingly, it didn’t open. All the furniture and furnishings in their house were of the finest quality, and this bedside table was also not half-baked, the wood was thick and hard, not something that could be opened using ordinary violence.
Lu Xun frowned deeply, he needed a key to open the locked drawer.
Where could the key be hidden? To be honest, he had been here for so long, and he had never seen a key in this place. The last time he saw a key was the one in Ye Yao’s pocket——
Lu Xun’s eyes widened slightly, his thoughts paused for a moment before he stood up abruptly and quickly grabbed Ye Yao’s pajamas and took out the tiny key from his pocket.
If this key was really used to open his drawer, then why was it in Ye Yao’s clothes?
Suspicion welled up in his heart and Lu Xun kept his hands on the key and inserted it into the keyhole.
It fit perfectly, not stuck at all, exceptionally smooth.
…He was about to see the locked up secret.
What would he see?
A group photo, greeting cards exchanged with that person, jewelry that was worn by the person?
This key was on Ye Yao’s person. Was it possible that there was a secret gift that Ye Yao wanted to give him, but seeing that he was injured and not suitable for gifting, he locked it in the drawer first?
Various good and bad thoughts intertwined, Lu Xun slowly opened the drawer.
The next second after seeing clearly what’s inside, Lu Xun’s face turned livid.
A strong feeling of nausea overcame him, even worse than when he saw the items in the wardrobe earlier.
Why were these kinds of things placed on the bedside table? Could it be that when Ye Yao was not at home, that thirty-year old him would call that lover to the villa, and make love on the bed that belonged to him and Ye Yao?
No wonder, no wonder Ye Yao had such a cold expression when he woke up at the hospital and saw Ye Yao for the first time. It turned out that Ye Yao had already found out, so why did he still put on a good face towards him?!
It was the years of friendship that made Ye Yao choose to be patient and tolerant and give him another chance. He even refused to mention this matter to him, and praised him in every way to protect and maintain his image.
Lu Xun couldn’t stand it any longer and punched heavily on the solid wood bedside table.
The pain radiating through his hand did nothing to counteract the anger in his heart, but rather made it even more intense.
The space that belonged exclusively to him and Ye Yao was sullied just like that.
Now that it had become like this, how could he pursue Ye Yao in an open manner? Ye Yao deserved the best, but he was no longer the best.
Breathing heavily and gasping for air, these were things he could only accept using with Ye Yao, but that was impossible.
A person like Ye Yao, a pure and flawless flower, had nothing to do with such things, let alone use so many tools that he couldn’t even recognize what they were.
Not to mention, Ye Yao was a straight man, how could he possibly use such things with him?
On what basis?
***
Although Lu Xun had no problems with any indicators during his check-up, considering that Lu Xun’s mind has not yet fully recovered, Ye Yao resolved the work problem as quickly as possible, pushed off various invitations to dinner, and rushed back home.
His speed on this trip was fairly fast, and there shouldn’t be anything wrong in this short period of time.
Ye Yao parked the car and entered the house.
The house was quiet, Lu Xun was not waiting for him to come back in the hall. Ye Yao thought about it, and went directly upstairs to the bedroom.
Maybe he was resting. After all, he was quite tired after the plethora of tests and it was not unusual for him to be still napping until now.
Ye Yao lightened his steps so as not to disturb Lu Xun’s sleep. He walked to the bedroom and saw that the door was ajar.
Ye Yao turned his head halfway, and looked in through the open gap——and locked eyes with Lu Xun, who had just reached the door, expressionless and with a cold look in his eyes.
It was too sudden that Ye Yao was taken aback and took a step back.
The door was opened from the inside and Lu Xun grabbed him by the shoulders to steady him. Lu Xun’s expression was still extremely unpleasant, but he still tried his best to ease his expression.
“Did I scare you?” Lu Xun said in a deep voice.
“….No.” Ye Yao looked down and saw an opaque black bag in Lu Xun’s hand. He couldn’t help but wonder, “What do you have in that bag?”
Lu Xun gave a cold laugh.
“I was going to take it to the door and wait for you before throwing these in the trash straight after I finished talking to you about it.” Lu Xun said, “I didn’t expect you to be back so early.”
These words sounded strange, and the alarm in Ye Yao’s heart was sounding crazily, but he still said to Lu Xun as usual, “What is going to be thrown into the trash can? Isn’t our bedroom always clean? How come there is such a big bag of trash?”
Lu Xun looked at Ye Yao and tried to reach out to touch Ye Yao’s cheek, but retracted his hand halfway through.
He eventually said nothing more, lowered his head and opened the bag in his hand to show Ye Yao.
There were all kinds of dazzling things inside, and when Ye Yao glanced inside, he felt like he was going to faint.
How could this be discovered by Lu Xun? Where did Lu Xun get the key from?
Did he lose his memory back to the age of eighteen and actually picked up on his preference for smelling his clothes without any help?
“Is it disgusting? I feel disgusted too.” Lu Xun said softly, “I don’t want to speak for the former me, and I don’t want to help the former me hide things, so I will tell you all these things.”
Lu Xun closed the bag again, “I’ll take it and throw it away first, and then we’ll discuss what happens next.”
Ye Yao had a splitting headache.
Throw it away? Where to throw it, he saw his and Lu Xun’s wedding ring were inside!
Ye Yao snatched the bag from Lu Xun’s hand, who fortunately had already found himself bent. Ye Yao took a deep breath and tried to tell the truth in the softest and polite voice possible.
“Don’t throw it away, I bought everything here with you.”

Thank You for the new chapter (ฅ^ω^ฅ)♥
This chapter almost made me throw up from laughing so much
Lu Xun ah Lu Xun… You precious dork 😂😂 did he even notice the wedding rings tho?? Probably was too taken aback by all those ‘dazzling things’ he saw gjgkidghj
Oh you poor thing what would you do when you wake up from this dream😂😂😂
Lu Xun’s ammesia has gone too far 😂😂😂 I’ll tie him down and everyone gets a turn to whack his head with a baseball bat to jog his memories. Who’s down?
our dear editor Ela wants to join you hahahaha. I’m having a bit of a time encouraging her to continue to edit coz she’s getting pissed by Lu Xun’s idiocy already hahahaha.
Ah ah ah! The wedding rings, don’t throw away the wedding rings!!
There must be some truly inspired toys and equipment in the drawer – of course, Lu Xun doesn’t do anything half way so that would include gay sex with his husband 😆. The nausea maybe goes back to the horrible grandfather’s conditioning, still fresh at 18, plus the idea of being with someone else, I guess?
I would say the head injury but it seems to be tied to his thoughts.
jealous over a key?? lmao i love him
LOL 😂
❤️❤️❤️
