When Ye Yao returned after buying lemonade, Lu Xun seemed to have returned to normal, making him greatly relieved.
Ye Yao tried to take the shopping bag from Lu Xun’s hand, but Lu Xun refused to let him carry it. At the same time, Lu Xun had to hold the lemonade and wanted to stick to Ye Yao as well, so he really wished that he could grow a third arm.
In the end, Lu Xun held the shopping bag and lemonade in one hand, and wrapped around Ye Yao’s shoulder with the other, and then walked back contentedly.
“I should do something relaxing and entertaining tonight to comfort my injured heart.” Lu Xun said.
“En.” Ye Yao was able to respond to Lu Xun’s homophobia without revealing anything, “Are you going to play games?”
“I’m not, what’s the use of playing them?” Lu Xun chuckled.
The two of them were already close enough, but Lu Xun suddenly tilted his head and put his lips against Ye Yao’s ear, and streams of hot air penetrated into Ye Yao’s ear.
Ye Yao heard Lu Xun’s voice filled with teasing and anticipation, “Let’s help each other out?”
The air current blowing on Ye Yao’s ears as he spoke brought a tickle which penetrated into Ye Yao’s ear, aiming straight into his heart, and it scratched and tickled the tip of his heart.
Lu Xun still seemed to be very keen to engage in various physical interactions with him that expressed friendship. He used to suspect that Lu Xun was a closeted homophobe, but now he knew that Lu Xun was just too straight, and he didn’t think that way at all.
Ye Yao wasn’t about to indulge in his desires, he lowered his eyes and said, “But I’m a little tired.”
“Forget about it then.” Lu Xun didn’t doubt him, and rubbed the back of Ye Yao’s neck, “Just go back to take a bath and rest, and I’ll see if there are any quiet games that I could play that won’t disturb you.”

When Ye Yao came out of the shower, he saw a voice message from his mother on WeChat.
Ye Yao’s mother’s voice was gentle: [Yaoyao, is the weather getting colder over there? Make sure you dress warmly, don’t catch a cold.]
Ye Yao’s brows softened: [Yes, mom, don’t worry, I’m doing fine here.]
His Mom quickly replied to the message: [Do you have enough living expenses after buying clothes? If it’s not enough, just tell the family and Mom will give you the money. Now that the family is already in a better situation than before, there is no need to save money for the family.]
Ye Yao had a scholarship in hand, and there was still no shortage of money for living expenses, but how did his mother know that he had gone out shopping for clothes today?
Ye Yao had some doubts in his heart, and he asked this question when responding to his mom’s concern.
His mother smiled: [Xiao Lu had posted a photo in his Moments, didn’t you see?]
Ye Yao: “…?”
What Moments? Didn’t Lu Xun dislike posting in Moments?
What happened while he was taking a shower?
Ye Yao quickly opened up ‘Moments’ after chatting with his mother, and found that the first article in the Moments was Lu Xun’s new entry.
Lu Xun posted a picture. In the picture, he and Lu Xun were wearing the new clothes that were of the same style, he was standing half a step in front of Lu Xun and was holding a black sweater up to Lu Xun’s body.
Lu Xun’s image of a cool guy when he was outside was still spot on. The picture was captioned with only one word: [Shopping].
Ye Yao didn’t know if it was because of the change in his sexual orientation, but this picture didn’t look right to him in a way. It looked like the daily routine of a young couple after they had been living together to the un-informed eye. Thanks to Lu Xun’s temperament and appearance, there was even an eerie feeling of a domineering CEO doting on his lover as he went shopping with him.

Calm down! He was already thinking about something messed up.
But could this kind of photos be posted in his circle of friends without blocking the elders?
Originally their relationship was already too close, and now he was posting this kind of photo. Would Lu Xun’s parents really won’t have any misunderstanding about their relationship?

At the end of the picture, and further down, Ye Yao could see a lot of likes, including their former high school classmates and their university roommates.
Everyone expressed their shock at Lu Xun’s posting in Moments, and they were delighted at the content of the post.
[Is this an official announcement?]
[Sisters, this is so sweet! I have been their fan for a long time. I can’t believe there’s a follow-up to the CP I’ve been shipping, and they still look so good together!]
[Brother Lu came out to show off his daily life with his wife, I am jealous and I want a wife too.]
Ye Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he didn’t see Lu Xun’s parents among those in the ‘likes’ section. And Lu Xun basically didn’t reply to all the messages, only a few friends who had a good relationship with him were the ones getting cool-like replies from him.
However, Lu Xun’s attitude suddenly changed when he replied to someone’s message.
Ye Yao’s Mom: [Xiao Lu still looks very handsome. Keep warm as the weather is getting colder. Ye Yao ah, this child is prone to illness in winter, so I may have to trouble you to take care of him.]
Lu Xun: [Auntie, please do not worry. Just leave Ye Yao to me, I will take good care of him.]
Ye Yao’s mother replied with a relieved smile.
Ye Yao, “…”
“Lu Xun, aren’t you going to have fun tonight?” Ye Yao asked with a headache.
Lu Xun, who was lying on the bed, put down his mobile phone and looked over, puzzled, “Don’t you think posting on Moments is a civilized and harmonious way of entertainment?”
Ye Yao had reservations about this fantastic form of entertainment and did not express his opinion, but just tried to explain the problem as objectively as possible.
“Your parents may be able to see your message to my Mom,” Ye Yao said, “why don’t you delete it first?”
Back then, Lu Xun, a rebellious teenager, corrected his attitude and tried to study hard. When he finally got into this university, Lu Xun’s parents could be said to be overjoyed. They believed that their son’s change of attitude was all due to Ye Yao. Since then, he was often invited to dinner and had added him on WeChat as well.
“Delete? Why do I need to delete it?” Lu Xun frowned, and he picked up the phone and glanced at his reply, “My reply should be decent, right?”
Lu Xun often didn’t care about other people’s opinions when he did things, so Ye Yao had to break it down and tell him the reason slowly, “I don’t know if you have noticed, but isn’t this a bit of an odd choice of words? It will easily make your parents misunderstand that we are secretly together, only hiding it from them and pretending to be friends in name only.”
Ye Yao paused for a moment. Lu Xun’s family had a big business. According to those well-known and typical plots in various TV dramas or real-life interviews, wasn’t it that when parents found out that their only son was gay, they would try their best to separate them and steer their son back on the right track?
Before he could explain further, Lu Xun refreshed his Moments’ page and raised his eyebrows, “They have already seen it.”
Ye Yao’s heartbeat stopped for a moment as he stiffened and refreshed the page, and saw two new replies, from Lu Xun’s parents.
Lu Xun’s Dad: [Heh, Xiao Ye’s aesthetics are much better than yours.]
Lu Xun: [Haha, you still need to tell me that?]
Lu Xun’s Mom: [I haven’t seen you two in a while, Xiao Ye has grown more and more handsome.]
Lu Xun: [I think so too.]
Lu Xun put down the phone again, smiled at Ye Yao, and reassured, “Don’t worry, they like you very much.”
Ye Yao had a poker face, “…Oh.”
He was a straight man for almost 20 years, in the end was he the one who didn’t understand the heterosexual world anymore?
Sure enough, he was too sensitive and paranoid, and it was not even a big deal. In the eyes of his parents, in this generation, that’s what good brothers look like.
Lu Xun, who was lying down, sat up. He didn’t care about many things, and he didn’t care about other people’s emotions, but Ye Yao was the exception.
He didn’t want Ye Yao to worry about this.
“I don’t want to hide our true way of getting along from anyone,” Lu Xun lowered his head from the top bunk to let the two eyes meet. He looked into Ye Yao’s eyes, “If they get the wrong idea or have a problem with you because of that… I’ll always be on your side.”
Ye Yao felt complicated, he averted his eyes and said softly, “En, I know.”
***
The incident seemed to be over, the chill of autumn dissipated the heat of summer, and the emerald green leaves turned yellow in a short span of time.
It was Sunday, the heater in the dorm room had not yet been turned on and it was cold. Ye Yao liked to lay down under the warm blanket when he had nothing else to do and he could sleep soundly even if he was taking an afternoon nap.
Everything was fine, and it would have been better if someone hadn’t insisted on squeezing into the single bed with him.
There was a faint vibration coming from his phone, someone must have sent him a message. Ye Yao reached out and hooked the phone over, and his light sleepiness disappeared instantly when he saw the name of the sender – Lu Xun’s mother had reached out to him.
[Xiao Ye, are you free? Auntie wants to talk to you about something.]
Ye Yao’s fingertips holding the phone were stiff and white. Beside him, Lu Xun opened his eyes: “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, a classmate asked me about homework, you can go back to sleep.”
Ye Yao found an excuse to slip away. He got off the bed and went to the empty bathroom, and started replying to Lu Xun’s mother’s message.
He had already met Lu Xun’s mother several times and she was really beautiful, elegant, and very articulate. In any case, looking at this exemplary mother, he could never have imagined that she could have such a rebellious and disobedient son like Lu Xun.
Lu Xun’s mother’s message came back quickly, and this time she sent a voice message.
Ye Yao adjusted the volume and turned it on, and listened to Lu Xun’s mother’s voice which sounded a little embarrassed, “Xiao Ye, it’s like this, Auntie has a friend, who has a daughter who is also studying in your school. She is one year younger than you, she’s just a freshman this year.”
Ye Yao was stunned for a moment, and many clips from those typical dramas were already flashing in his mind uncontrollably.
Such as, Lu Xun’s mother would take a check and say to him, “Here is $50 million, just leave my son.”
Or, a wealthy family like Lu Xun needed a business alliance marriage, but because he was afraid that Lu Xun would not be willing, she asked him to be a lobbyist and win over the relationship between Lu Xun and the girl. Finally, with his efforts, Lu Xun entered the Marriage Hall, and he was the smiling best man at the wedding.
Sure enough, as Lu Xun’s mother, she couldn’t just stand by and watch her son get too close with his friend of the same sex.
Ye Yao pursed his lips and clicked on Lu Xun’s mother’s next voice message.
Lu Xun’s mother’s voice sounded even more difficult, “That’s…that is, that girl said she likes you very much, she wants to chat with you, and wants to add you on WeChat, do you want to meet this girl as well?”
Ye Yao, “?”
“That child is more lively, and said that she will be waiting for you in your university’s milk tea shop this afternoon, and treat you to an afternoon tea. If you don’t want to, Auntie will help you turn her down.”
Ye Yao had no intention of having a girlfriend, but he also knew that such a rejection would easily hurt a girl’s self-esteem.
With some doubt, Ye Yao asked: [I thought Auntie would tell Lu Xun and have Lu Xun pass it on to me?]
Lu Xun’s mother sighed: [If I tell him, you will probably never get the message.]
After all, her son would only cut off all the peach blossoms around Ye Yao, which was really worrying.
Ordinary people couldn’t stand such a domineering friendship. She was really afraid that one day… this friendship would be killed by Lu Xun.
Lu Xun’s mother put down her mobile phone and said to Lu Xun’s father next to her, “Your son is too abnormal. Won’t Xiao Ye be annoyed by his constant pestering?”
“He’s also your son.” Lu Xun’s father glared, and then grunted, “I don’t know where he learned such a domineering temperament. Anyway, If I were Xiao Ye, I would turn around and run. Lu Xun, that little bastard is really looking for death.”
***
Lu Xun woke up from his nap in a daze, and his mobile phone that he had placed on the desk below was vibrating non stop, almost shaking the sky.
Relying on his height and long legs, Lu Xun didn’t use the bed ladder, but just rolled off the bed and grabbed the phone from the desk.
As soon as he turned on his phone, Lu Xun was overwhelmed by countless ‘@’ contents.
[Brother Lu, Brother Lu, are you crying silently now?]
[Brother Lu is tough, why don’t you come out for a drink, or come to an Internet cafe to hack with us, the big guys will keep you company.]
What, why would he be crying silently?
Lu Xun frowned inexplicably, then saw a picture.
The picture showed Ye Yao, who was sleeping next to him not long ago, wearing a simple jacket and jeans, and was walking on the campus path, next to a cute girl in a white dress.
A crack appeared on Lu Xun’s expressionless face.
Ye Yao met a girl alone while he was not around.
Ye Yao…was dating some girl!
Ye Yao was so well dressed and looked so handsome, surely no one could refuse!
Whoever refused Ye Yao was surely blind, and whoever dared to refuse Ye Yao to make Ye Yao sad, he would beat up that bastard.
Ye Yao was about to become a couple with someone else!
Countless thoughts and ideas flooded into Lu Xun’s mind, and he only felt that his sight had turned black and the world was spinning.
He held onto the table and wiped his face, grabbed the same jacket as Ye Yao, gathered himself up as quickly as he could, and flung the door open with a ‘bang’.
