Don't Hide From MeCh9 - Lu Xun is Gay Pretending to be Straight

Edited by Elanor

Unbeknown to Ye Yao, rumors of him going out to meet other girls had spread like wildfire, the rumors had even morphed to the extent that he already had a girlfriend and was keeping it a secret from Lu Xun.

Ye Yao didn’t really believe Lu Xun’s mother when she said that a girl had a crush on him. This girl was not in the same class as him, and had never met him before, so how could she like him out of the blue? It could be that the girl was simply interested in him and wanted to meet him, or that she needed his help with something. 9OWocA

But no matter what, he had to explain things clearly to the girl.

At the intersection of the campus path, Jiang Tang, the person who had invited Ye Yao out, was wearing a white down jacket and skirt, her head lowered as she sent a message to her best friend before Ye Yao arrived.

[They can’t be a couple, my eyes have seen many types of couples , this kind of sticky look, 99% of them are straight. If I am wrong, I’ll cut my hair and make a wig for you to play with.]

Girlfriend: [But they look so genuine…] uyrfmj

Jiang Tang: [I’ve hit more CPs than you’ve crossed bridges, idiot, why don’t you believe me! Don’t say anymore, he’s here, I’ll give you news after I’m done testing!]

Jiang Tang put the phone away and showed a full bright smile to Ye Yao who appeared before her.

Her best friend had started to have a crush on Ye Yao ever since he had helped her once. After finally plucking up the courage to talk to Ye Yao after a basketball match had finished, she witnessed the intimacy between Ye Yao and Lu Xun, and thought that Ye Yao and Lu Xun were a couple.

Her lovelorn best friend entered the forum with tears in her eyes, clicked into the CP building of Ye Yao and Lu Xun, and sent out a “be well” testimonial while weeping sadly.

Jiang Tang hated iron for not becoming steel. She had also seen CP building a few times, and in a single glance she could see if it was real or not, how could she believe this CP? She had been a CP fan for many years, and with her experience, she knew that this was either a deliberately commercialized industrial saccharin, or a pure close male friends.

So she invited Ye Yao this time. If she could be sure that Ye Yao was a straight man and was not a couple with Lu Xun, then she hoped that her best friend would boldly pursue her own happiness.

When Ye Yao walked over, Jiang Tang saw his face clearly, and was stunned.

She hadn’t seen Ye Yao herself before, but now, when she looked at it, such a face… It was indeed a bit unisex. Df6vlK

Jiang Tang straightened her hair and started the testing.

Ye Yao was unaware of what the girl in front of him was thinking. He looked at Jiang Tang who was wearing a short down jacket on top, a short white skirt at the bottom and showing her bare legs. He frowned slightly and proposed to sit at the nearby tea shop that had a heating on.

The nearest milk tea shop here had a little romantic setting, it was on the second floor, with a spiral staircase below.

As Jiang Tang walked, she kept talking to Ye Yao, and at the same time, she was also muttering in her heart. wdDXZO

She was not prepared for his beauty and walking with a beauty of this caliber, her head was a little dizzy; she was quite nervous when she spoke, and she forgot all the lines she had prepared previously.

What was she supposed to say next?

Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment and looked up at Ye Yao’s face.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The bleak autumn wind blew through the tall and thin figure of the young man, the scattered hair on his forehead fluttered with the wind, and his beautiful eyes were looming because of the loose hair. When these eyes looked at someone so solemnly, it was impossible to imagine what kind of person could not fall into them.

Jiang Tang did not move for a while, Ye Yao was a little puzzled, and tried to hand over the jacket again. sYvNzh

Jiang Tang suddenly came back to her senses and realized that Ye Yao had mistaken something, she laughed and waved her hands: “No, do you think I didn’t wear jeans? I did, and I wore a very thick pair, padded with thick velvet.”

Jiang Tang bent down and tugged at her legs to prove that there was indeed material on top of her legs and proving that she was really not a fool walking around with bare legs during autumn: “The custom-made bare-legged imagery jeans. Is it really so natural?”

Ye Yao: “…”

Jiang Tang’s eyes squinted with laughter, feeling that she had some kind of evidence. dbxL6r

The fact that he couldn’t tell that it was a custom-made bare-legged jeans, just like boys couldn’t tell whether girls have makeup or not, or had the same color of lipstick; gays could definitely tell, but straight guys couldn’t tell.

This clearly showed that Ye Yao was a straight man!

Two cups of hot milk tea were placed on the table, and Jiang Tang probably realized that she wouldn’t be able to come up with something in this dizzy state, and so she simply explained her intentions directly.

“…Are Lu Xun and you a couple?” Ye Yao lowered his eyes, stirred the taro paste in the milk tea with a straw, and smiled helplessly, “No, we are good friends, don’t get me wrong.” 5EbYTr

Jiang Tang showed a delighted smile.

She guessed it right! They were simply friends!

There was just one more problem.

Jiang Tang began to speak hesitantly: “Then you… then do you like girls?” HeASEW

Ye Yao avoided answering this question and refused directly: “Sorry, I don’t intend to talk about…”

Before he could finish speaking, a hand suddenly wrapped around his shoulder from behind, and Jiang Tang, who was sitting opposite him, widened her eyes.

The arm that hugged him was so strong that it almost pressed him into the other person’s arms. Ye Yao already had some kind of a hunch in his heart. He looked up and his gaze crashed into Lu Xun’s stormy ones.

Lu Xun’s thin lips were pursed. He looked fine when he smiled, but when he wasn’t smiling, his handsome face seemed extremely unkind and cold. Coupled with his fierce eyes, he could easily make people’s legs go weak in fright. Y1NgXz

Ye Yao knew straight away that Lu Xun was in a terrible mood now.

But the fierce looking Lu Xun didn’t scold or fight, his chest heaved a few times, and with a dark face, gave Ye Yao a forced smile: “It’s such a coincidence that you are here. I wanted to come over to buy a cup of milk tea and take it back for you to drink.”

It was a coincidence that half an hour ago they were still lying on the same bed, and half an hour later they both appeared in this milk tea shop, still wearing identical jackets.

Ye Yao didn’t expose Lu Xun’s lie and moved inside to make space for the other party. Lu Xun sat down next to him unceremoniously, pretending to have just noticed that there was someone on the opposite side: “This is?” pw Y2d

“A junior schoolmate who asked me for something.” Ye Yao said.

“Junior schoolmate?” Lu Xun’s dark eyes stared at the person across from him and curled his lips into a smile, “Hello.”

Jiang Tang had goosebumps on her body. This person was clearly politely greeting, but it made her feel scared, as if he was going to rush over to kill her in the next second.

Jiang Tang’s survival instinct made her quickly raise a smile: “Hello, hello, Senior Lu, what would you like to drink? I’ll treat you.” B83vCq

“No need.” Lu Xun refused.

Jiang Tang didn’t expect her invitation to be successful at first try, and was about to say a few more words when Lu Xun took the cup of milk tea belonging to Ye Yao and sipped from it.

And Ye Yao, who looked quite the flower of the high mountains, sat motionless beside him, there was not even a hint of surprise on his face, he just calmly let Lu Xun drink his milk tea.

After Lu Xun took a sip and drank slowly, before looking back at Jiang Tang and enunciating every word, “I’ll drink from his cup, there’s no need to get another cup.” ROXtC3

Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment, she stared at her own milk tea, and looked at Ye Yao’s cup of milk tea.

What does this sentence mean? That they were both in it together and she was an outsider?

The two people across from her were sitting side by side, drinking on the same cup of milk tea, and wearing an identical jacket. How would one perceive them from outside?

Jiang Tang had been around for so many years and had hit countless CPs. It could be said that she was quite sensitive to certain aspects. A6vHFk

For example, now, she felt that Lu Xun’s behavior was akin to protecting the territory.

This domineering possessiveness, anger and jealousy burned into her head in just one sentence.

Across the table, Lu Xun moved his hand holding the milk tea, and pressed the back of his hand against the back of Ye Yao’s hand on the table, and said again: “Why are your hands so cold?”

“It’s alright,” Ye Yao said, “it’s because your temperature is too high.” g69ZYV

“Then I’ll keep you warm.” Lu Xun said.

Jiang Tang was again stunned as she watched in awe as Lu Xun took Ye Yao’s hand to warm them up. Ye Yao probably felt that this was inappropriate and tried to withdraw his hand lightly, but he couldn’t pull away from Lu Xun grip, so he just lifted his hand and put it under the table, so that no one else would see their touching hands.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Jiang Tang was now very suspicious that Lu Xun was deliberately showing his affection. She swallowed and had a bold idea.

Ye Yao is a straight guy, but what about Lu Xun? rdb7 Q

Jiang Tang thought for a while, and continued to ask at the risk of death: “Senior Ye, you haven’t answered me yet, do you like girls?”

As soon as this question was thrown out, Lu Xun’s face, which had begun to improve, sank again, and his whole person looked like a tyrannical dragon that was about to start breathing fire in anger.

Ye Yao looked calm: “I’m sorry, studies and career are the most important for me at this time. I don’t plan on falling in love during college.”

And in the blink of an eye, the angry tyrant was appeased, and his face turned from cloudy to sunny again. XTey4q

Lu Xun also replied coldly: “There is no need for freshmen to always think about falling in love. You are here to study, not to look for a future marriage partner.”

Jiang Tang clenched her fists so as not to reveal her inner thoughts: “…Serve the motherland, I understand.”

Oh damn! She seemed to have discovered some great secret.

Ye Yao was a straight man, Lu Xun, this guy, pretending to be straight, was actually gay, or simply a closeted homophobe, and was trying to bend Ye Yao bit by bit! wY6rFn

Did Lu Xun’s mother know about this situation? No, she had to beat around the bush, lest Lu Xun’s family think that Lu Xun was bent by Ye Yao, and then blame Ye Yao.

Hehe, Lu Xun, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, was not straight at first glance.

Jiang Tang said goodbye in a hurry, and halfway through, she looked back.

Lu Xun was talking to Ye Yao, and he was probably still angry at Ye Yao’s unexpected outing today, but when he looked at Ye Yao, he tried his best to hide the stinging negative emotions. diDQz5

That look… was very strange.

Like a dragon looking at his personal treasure, a treasure that was regarded like his own life, absolutely indispensable, and absolutely could not be snatched away by others.
