My Boyfriend Discovered My Zhihu ResponseCh12 - Someone By His Side

Both of Fu Siyan’s parents were highly intelligent individuals. They published scientific research, studied overseas, and were quite open minded.

But the day Fu Siyan came out to his parents, he got a scolding lesson from them. Papa Fu even threw his teacup towards Fu Siyan in the heat of the moment. Fu Siyan didn’t block it in time, and a large patch of his skin by his neck was scorched red. kdZhF2

Fu Siyan hid it from Qi Jia at first and deliberately wore a turtleneck during the video, but he didn’t know how Qi Jia could tell that something was wrong with Fu Siyan. He turned off the video and silently drove over to find Fu Siyan.

At first, Fu Siyan hid it from Qi Jia. During their video call, he purposely wore a high-collar shirt. But for some reason, his problem didn’t escape Qi Jia’s radar. Without a second word, after their video call, Qi Jia got a ticket to find Fu Siyan.

At that time, Fu Siyan was renting off campus, and Qi Jia got the key. As soon as he opened the door and walked in, the first scene he saw was topless Fu Siyan against the mirror, applying ointment on his burn.

“What happened to you?” Qi Jia asked by the door. DfZXyP

Fu Siyan got startled and dropped the cotton swab in his hand. Under Qi Jia’s inspecting gaze, he unnaturally dodged the line of sight and hesitated to say anything.

Qi Jia walked up and grabbed the burn ointment, took some new cotton swabs, and carefully applied the ointment to Fu Siyan. He said in a cold voice: “Don’t tell me that you drank tea and burned yourself like this.”

Qi Jia marched over and snatched the burned ointment. He grabbed several cotton swabs and carefully applied the ointment, saying in a chilling voice, “Don’t tell me this was from you drinking tea.”

“Oh right, my hand slipped and…”

“You don’t drink boiled water, even warm water,” Qi Jia blew while applying it. The area on Fu Siyan’s neck instantly felt much more comfortable. Qi Jia’s hands were extremely gentle, but he still refused to budge: “Don’t lie to me. Tell me why.”

“You don’t drink warm water, let alone hot water.” Qi Jia applied ointment while blowing on it. In the split moment, it brought relief on Fu Siyan’s burn on his neck. Qi Jia was being so gentle, yet, his mouth was relentless, “You’re not allowed to lie to me. Tell me what caused the burn.”

The burn was not small, there were several blisters as well. This pained Qi Jia’s heart. He cautiously and gingerly applied ointment on each red spot. Fu Siyan sighed and hugged Qi Jia tightly.

He hid in the crook of Qi Jia’s neck and said in a muffle, “Jia Jia, I’ll tell you but please don’t be angry. I…I came out to my parents.” CNW0gD

At first, the information hadn’t sunk in yet. By the time it did, Qi Jia’s face turned pale. “Then, what happened? They didn’t agree? They got very angry? Is your burn from…”

“Just think about how hard I pursue you, and in the end, I won your heart. I have quite the skill, and I can certainly win my parents over as well. So, don’t worry.” mB5Of1

Fu Siyan coaxed Qi Jia like a child, like the burn belonged to Qi Jia instead.

“Everything will be fine.”

Having said that, Qi Jia and Fu Siyan both know the pain and sorrow involved. This is a hurdle that can only be crossed alone, a pain that even lovers cannot share. The only thing they can do is to be more determined than before.

He said that, but both of them knew that this grievance was for Fu Siyan to cross alone. A type of burden that could not be shared with the other partner. Compared to before, what they have right now was  more determined than before. apFCM4

So, Qi Jia returned the hug, wrapping his hands around Fu Siyan. This was how the two of them were in an embrace, in a tiny bathroom and around air filled with a pungent scent of ointment, but none of this didn’t make Qi Jia want to separate.

He suddenly remembered something he read before. The distinguishing feature between human couples was how big their house was, but for them, they wanted to be as close to each other as possible.

That resonated with his feelings right now. It was hard for him to let go as soon as he hugged the person in front of him.

Qi Jia said in Fu Siyan’s arms, “The exam is next month. Just you wait. I’ll work hard to attend the university in Shanghai.” GIkdTz

“I believe you. My family’s darling is the most outstanding…” As Fu Siyan began his brainless praise, Qi Jia smiled and covered his mouth.”

“Enough from you.”

Fu Siyan got his voice through Qi Jia’s fingers, “If not, why would I fall for you?”

Qi Jia kissed him. “You’re so shameless.” tdxGl9

“I miss you, darling.” Fu Siyan buried his head in the crook of Qi Jia’s neck. Qi Jia caressed his head.

“You just saw me a week ago.”

“I still had to suffer through a week. Once you get into a university here, let’s make up for all the time we had missed.”

Qi Jia could pick up on the underlying meaning and couldn’t resist reminding, “You young man needs to know the meaning of doing it in moderation!” x 3H9P

“Aren’t I being moderate enough? Is doing it once every half a month that many times?” Fu Siyan breathed out a whisper in Qi Jia’s ear, “You don’t like it?”

Qi Jia’s ears turned red because of how sensitive they were. Fu Siyan had to love blowing air at his ears or biting them. Qi Jia got nothing against Fu Siyan’s pestering and could only say, “…It’s okay.”

Fu Siyan was immediately unconvinced. He not only hugged Qi Jia and touched him randomly, but also said a lot of naughty things in his ears. Qi Jia’s face turned red and he fled to the room. Fu Siyan folded his arms and leaned against the door, while Qi Jia hid on the bed and resisted passively, “I am in the sprint stage of review, so you know how to torment me.”

Fu Siyan was instantly on the offense. Not only did his hugging hands begin to wander, but he also even began to whisper vulgar words into Qi Jia’s ear. The teasing was too much for Qi Jia as he escaped into the bedroom with scarlet cheeks and ears. Fu Siyan crossed his arms and leaned against the door, while Qi Jia hid in the bed and weakly defended, “I still have to study the final run, while you only know how to torment me.” AyRBxM

“Really? Have I not been supportive of you? Tell me, when you first told me about your plan to prepare for the exam, how much information did I search for you, how many people did I contact for you, and how much of a help have I been? You ungrateful imp.”

Qi Jia curled his lips and refrained from commenting.

Fu Siyan entered the room and got on the bed. “Moreover, not only did I provide you with educational support, mental support, but also—” Fu Siyan whispered the last part very quietly in Qi Jia’s ears. He even added, “What time did I not feed you full?”

Qi Jia’s face was so red, it was like blood was about to bleed out. He pulled the blanket and covered his face, no longer wanting to talk with this hooligan. 1IebXr

…

Afterward, Qi Jia really got into a university in Shanghai, moved into Fu Siyan’s small apartment and lived a much shameless life.

Later on, when Fu Siyan’s parents got the time to calm down, they dropped by to check on Fu Siyan without notice and happened to spot their son coming back from the grocery store with another guy. They were carrying grocery bags while walking side by side.

The guy was simple, not very eye-catching, but gave them this comfortable feeling. Qfx02S

When the two first entered the community, they were normally side by side. When they approached the corridor of their home, they suddenly leaned together. Fu Siyan snatched the bag from Qi Jia’s hand and put it together with his own, leaving a free space. He put his arms around Qi Jia’s body and lowered his head to touch Qi Jia’s cheek, probably kissing.

When the two entered the small community, they were walking shoulder to shoulder. But as soon as they reached their apartment, Fu Siyan snatched the bag in Qi Jia’s hand and gathered all the bag into one hand, essentially freeing an arm to put it around Qi Jia. He even lowered his head and placed his cheek against Qi Jia, probably kissing.

Inside the car, the two adults watched the whole thing. As they saw the two boys’ backs getting further into the distance, they felt this sourness inside.

Their fledgling grew up in the end. Now his wings had matured, he wanted to fly further. As parents, they should wish for him to fly towards peace and happiness. But during a moment of distraction, the fledgling flew off course and towards the direction with strong wind, downpour, and roar of thunder. As parents, they couldn’t do anything but watch his back from a distance. PRrLi6

Despite how long the route to the future was, as long as he has something by his side, it was enough.

Fortunately, that guy remained gentle and firm by Fu Siyan’s side for many years to come.
