Ye Yao discovered that his new friend, Lu Xun, was very repulsive of homosexuality, or of anyone loving the same sex.
To put it simply, he was homophobic.
The reason he found out about this was very simple; he saw a boy confessing his love, or more like showing his interest to Lu Xun.
At that time, after school, Ye Yao packed his schoolbag and went to his part time work in a milk tea shop. His new deskmate and new friend, Lu Xun, was carrying a backpack on one shoulder with his hands in his pockets and said without expression that he was idle and bored and wanted to go with him.
Lu Xun’s family members and former friends were not here, and no one cared about him no matter where he went after school.
“Whatever you want.” Ye Yao didn’t care about being seen by an acquaintance when he’s at work, “Remember to take today’s homework.”
Lu Xun frowned: “What homework? I never complete it.”
“Oh, okay.” Ye Yao continued to pack his schoolbag, with a bit of regret in his voice, “I didn’t have much time to do my homework, so I want to borrow yours to copy it, so I can go to bed early at night. If you didn’t do it, there is nothing I can do.”
Ye Yao sighed, zipped up his school bag, and carried it: “Let’s go.”
Lu Xun frowned even tighter. He looked at Ye Yao for a moment, and impatiently bent over to take out his workbooks and books from his desk drawer, and stuffed them into his schoolbag.
The corner of Ye Yao’s lips curled imperceptibly as he watched Lu Xun throw the backpack over his shoulder again.
“Class Leader Ye asked me to copy my homework and I remembered it.” Lu Xun said.
Ye Yao smiled: “I’ll let you copy it back next time.”
Young Master Lu snorted, reluctantly agreed to the exchange, and walked out of the classroom with Ye Yao.
Ye Yao did not tell Lu Xun that his family was in a special situation and that he had always done well enough in his studies that the teachers in all subjects turned a blind eye to whether he would hand in his homework, except that he would finish it on time.
In fact, the time it would took to copy Lu Xun’s homework was not much different from the time it would take him to do it directly.
This behavior seemed superfluous, but Ye Yao felt that it was worthwhile to get Lu Xun to start doing his homework.
Lu Xun came here alone to go to school, halfway across the country, without parents or friends by his side, so he wanted to help him out as much as he could.
They had to go to the bicycle parking area and had to walk around half of the basketball court after leaving the school building to reach the parking lot. There were quite a few people around the court, and Ye Yao and Lu Xun walked more than halfway, when they suddenly saw a basketball flying towards them out of the corner of their eyes.
Lu Xun stood on the outside, raised his hand and directly caught the flying basketball accurately.
Ye Yao noticed that the people in the basketball court were still playing basketball enthusiastically, and wondered who was playing by himself shooting the ball on the side of the court, and accidentally knocked the ball out.
Ye Yao was thinking about this when he saw a boy running towards them.
The boy was good-looking, could be regarded as fair and clean, and had a bright smile.
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.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t control the ball when I was shooting. Luckily, you guys are alright.” The boy spoke as he ran over, his eyes on Lu Xun, “Classmate, you have good skills, can we be friends?”

“Classmate, did your sleeve get dirty with my ball? Let me help you—”
Before his fingertips could touch his sleeve, Lu Xun withdrew his hand.
“Brother, you are too much of a drag, no wonder the girls in our class have been talking about you.” The boy smiled, “Let’s be friends? I heard that you rejected all the girls who confessed to you, maybe we can communicate and exchange ideas?”
Lu Xun’s expression turned completely cold.
“Who is your brother?” Lu Xun sneered, his brows and eyes were full of hostility, “Don’t talk nonsense here, if you want to be beaten up, I will accompany you. If I don’t beat you up until you call yourself my grandson, I will write my name backwards.”
This attitude was many times worse than when confronted with a girl’s confession.
The boy paused for a moment, turned around and ran away with the ball in his arms.
***
The surroundings became quiet, and Ye Yao continued to move forward with Lu Xun.
Ye Yao was still thinking about the conversation just now, when Lu Xun said in a calm voice, “Do you have any napkins?”
Of course, the cold high-school bully wouldn’t carry tissues with him. The dust on his hands and body during the fight was a medal of merit, and there was no need to wipe it off immediately. At other times, there was even less need to carry tissues.
Ye Yao took out a napkin from his bag and handed it to Lu Xun who took out the mineral water from the side of his backpack and wet the paper towel, then wiped vigorously his hand that had just touched the ball, and his sleeve that had almost been touched just now.
After finishing all this, Lu Xun raised his hand and tossed the wet tissue perfectly into the trash can far away.
“…You have a cleanliness problem?” Ye Yao asked.
They had been deskmates for a few days, but he hadn’t noticed that Lu Xun had a cleanliness problem.
“It’s not a cleanliness issue.” Lu Xun frowned and took out another piece of paper towel to wipe off the water on his hands. “I don’t like people touching me, especially men, especially men who like me.”
Ye Yao was suddenly enlightened, and finally understood what the boy meant by wanting to ‘communicate’ with each other.
However, he was not surprised that Lu Xun did not like being touched.
Lu Xun seemed to have an aura that isolated him from everyone. The cool and flamboyant school bully didn’t like to be touched by others. Wasn’t this just natural?
Luckily, he didn’t have the habit of hooking up with his friends to enhance their relationship, so he had never touched Lu Xun, and the two of them just interacted normally.
When they reached the parking area, Ye Yao unlocked his bicycle, and suddenly thought of another thing, so he curiously asked his mysterious and unpredictable looking school bully friend, “Then what should you do if you have to shake hands with others on a place similar to the podium in the future? Do you wear gloves?”
“Just shake hands, a handshake is a handshake, just don’t be holding hands.” Lu Xun probably imagined something, a trace of disgust flashed across his face, and his voice became low, “Who wants to hold hands with a man? Anyway, there’s no way I’m going to do it in my life.”
***
Ye Yao Yao smoothly led the way to the milk tea shop where he was working.
It was inconvenient to disturb people during working hours, so Lu Xun found a corner and sat down. He sat for a while then took out his homework and textbooks from his school bag.
Why was he doing homework here? So strange.
He was most annoyed by following the rules of reading and writing homework, and now he was actually doing the thing he hated the most.
Lu Xun frowned, and wrote the solution and explanation under his homework.
The content underneath the solution needed to be analyzed with the mind, but the first homework was simple, for a single topic, it could be done with a quick flip through the book, so it was not like Lu Xun couldn’t even understand this. However, his eyes kept shifting to the person behind the counter.
Ye Yao was so good-looking that even the most ordinary work clothes made him look uniquely charming, like a long and serene landscape painting.
A person who seemed so sheltered, was independent and detached from the world, yet when he was not familiar with him at all, he decisively chose to come to his aid after finding him surrounded by a number of people looking for trouble.
His skills were crisp and sharp, and left after the fight with a wave of his sleeves, without taking away the dust with him. He didn’t even need his thanks, and just gave him a view of his gracefully retreating back.
Even when he saw him in the classroom the next day, he could still act as if nothing had happened, and even when he came to him to collect his homework, he didn’t say a word about what happened yesterday.
Was it because he didn’t intend to take credit, or was it that in Ye Yao’s eyes, this matter was nothing special and not worth mentioning, just a small episode in life?
Lu Xun still hasn’t written a single word of his homework.
Ever since Ye Yao came in and started his work, there had been more people in the shop, most of them were girls.
Two girls sat at the table next to Lu Xun and after ordering two cups of milk tea, they chatted while admiring the beauty behind the counter.
Lu Xun faintly overheard their conversation.
“It’s too strong to be able to work part-time and be first in his grade at the same time. I wonder how many points ahead of the second rank his grade could be if he had spent all his time studying?”
“I don’t know, but it’s impossible for him not to work part-time. I heard from my mother that his mother’s illness costs quite a lot of money, so he has to work hard and study to save money. Why am I not a rich woman ah? Oh, I could have given warmth to schoolmate Xiao Ye in difficult times. He will definitely remember me in the future. It’s true that when the money is used up, you will hate it!”
“Ei, he definitely won’t want it. It’s no use being a rich woman. I heard someone say that his family side…”
There were no secrets in the small town, so Lu Xun sat by and listened, hearing all about Ye Yao’s family affairs.
Lu Xun looked down at his shoes.
The clothes and shoes he was wearing were all famous designer brands, and this pair of shoes alone cost tens of thousands yuan.
He had been born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and now in front of him was a completely different person from him.
Well-behaved, obedient and polite, grasping both study and life, the best child in the eyes of the elders, never makes people worry.
The complete opposite of him.
Lu Xun withdrew his gaze in silence, flipped through a few pages of the book, picked up the pen again, and wrote down a series of formulas and equations at the back of the solution.
After Lu Xun finished writing the first few questions, the topic of the two girls next to him changed direction.
“I wonder what type of girls he likes, oh. If Classmate Ye’s girlfriend is sitting here, maybe Classmate Ye will bring milk tea over in person, and then take the opportunity to chat with his girlfriend.”
“Did you secretly watch TV dramas behind my back? You think too much! Whatever, then I am the girlfriend of the school grass now. The school grass brought me over the milk tea. At that moment, the whole school exploded!”
Lu Xun’s hand stopped answering the questions, and he looked at the questions in the textbook with a blank expression.
“Huh? He’s really coming over with a glass of lemonade?”
“… No way, his girlfriend can’t really be here, my dream is shattered.”
Lu Xun frowned slightly, and suddenly a glass of lemonade held by slender fingers was placed on his table. Lu Xun’s eyes followed the hand upwards, and met Ye Yao’s gaze.
Ye Yao smiled slightly: “You’ve answered so many questions? Awesome.”
With a swipe of his pen, Lu Xun wrote another solution to the next question: “That’s not so impressive, you have never seen anything more impressive.”
Ye Yao agreed with this, and Lu Xun looked at the word ‘solution’ which suddenly looked more pleasing to the eyes as he asked, “How much did this glass of lemonade cost you? I’ll pay you back.”
Ye Yao smiled and shook his head: “No need to pay, my treat, thanks to you for doing the homework for me to copy.”
The corner of Lu Xun’s mouth raised slightly, and then he pressed it down: “How many other people have you treated like this?”
Lu Xun saw Ye Yao squinted his eyes.
“How can there be so many people lending their homework for me to copy? You are the only one.”
Lu Xun looked at Ye Yao and subconsciously went to grab the lemonade, but instead of pressing his hand against a cold glass, he pressed against a warm object.
Ye Yao was taken aback for a moment, remembering that Lu Xun didn’t like contact with men, and immediately removed his hand.
To his surprise, Lu Xun seemed to have failed to react and followed his hand out of the glass.
Without the cup for support, their hands touched in mid-air, as if they were holding each other.
