It wasn’t known what agreement Yan Ziyi made with those in the provincial capital. The provincial capital’s Lao Wu asked Ma Tu to apologize to Yang Lei face to face. He treated him to a meal, and this conflict was considered finished. Yan Ziyi also asked Yang Lei not to start anything again, much less get revenge on Ma Tu and his gang.
If this were the past, Yang Lei really would not have been able to hold in his anger. He most hated fighting dirty from behind. He would definitely get revenge until death. But now, Yang Lei really didn’t have this desire. Right now, he felt that these fights and killings weren’t as interesting as staying in Fang Yu’s room on the eighth floor.
In principle, this matter was over, and Yang Lei didn’t need to continue following Fang Yu, but Yang Lei still kept seeking Fang Yu as usual.
Now everyone on the street knew Yang Lei and Fang Yu were close. Even Yan Ziyi knew. Yan Ziyi thought this was an unexpected gain.
“There are still people who can make you concede?” Yan Ziyi dissed Yang Lei. Yang Lei was famous for his pride and arrogance, looking down on people.
“Learn well from him!” was Yan Ziyi’s second sentence.
“If you can’t win over Fang Yu, don’t come back crying!” Yan Ziyi really doted on Yang Lei like his own little brother.
Yang Lei wondered, why was this boss so talkative?
Fang Yu gave that guitar to Yang Lei.
Yang Lei and Fang Yu went to the lab high school field together. They played the guitar for many nights, but they never again met the person on the other side.
“Isn’t it the same if I teach you?”
Fang Yu said.
“I’m just curious. That brother was very generous. He taught me for many nights,” Yang Lei said. “Have you read The Smiling, Proud Wanderer? I’m Liu Zhengfeng, and that brother is Qu Yang. We were collaborating in ‘The Smiling, Proud Wanderer Song,’ invincible fighters of the whole world!” Yang Lei’s wuxia obsession came out again.
“The ending for the two of them wasn’t too great.” Fang Yu poured cold water on him.
“You don’t understand. That’s called a soulmate! Do you understand what a soulmate is?” Yang Lei really felt that he and that brother were Boya and Ziqi, “I don’t even need to talk to him. I know what he is thinking just from playing guitar!”
“Oh, what was he thinking about?” Fang Yu asked with a smile.
“He was thinking… I should smoke a cigarette,” Yang Lei said. The brother on the other side often lit a cigarette when he played guitar.
“Ha ha ha!”
Fang Yu laughed out loud.
At that time, a group of Jiangbei gangsters often came into the city to cause trouble. The leader was nicknamed Hua Mao. He started trouble at many riverside places in succession.
The riverside was Luo Jiu’s territory. Luo Jiu asked Fang Yu to bring his gang to settle the matter.
Fang Yu settled it, and settled it very well. He beat Hua Mao into submission, and beat him so that he became very submissive.
But from that day on, Hua Mao started to come to the city nearly every day. When he came, he would stay at the Bright Billiards Room and refuse to leave. If Fang Yu weren’t there, he would definitely wait until Fang Yu returned.
At first, the Bright Billiards people thought he came looking for trouble, but every time, Hua Mao came alone. When he came, he would find Fang Yu, and with a big smile on his face and a strange look of enthusiasm.
The first time Yang Lei saw Hua Mao, his whole body started.

“Sissy”and “Second Aunt,” were names that Jianghai residents gave people like him. Hua Mao dressed like this, and he often spoke quite flirtatiously, but he was a famous Jiangbei gangster. His leadership was very strong. Although he was tough, when people on the streets spoke of him, they always had an awkward expression.
Soon Jianghai’s gangdom all knew Hua Mao knew Fang Yu. He had fallen in love with Fang Yu.
At first, Fang Yu didn’t understand why this Hua Mao would come looking for him nearly every day. He didn’t look for him for any reason, and he would always speak nonsense.
“Fang Yu, your kick that day was really handsome. How did you do it? Can you teach me?”
“Fang Yu, I have two movie tickets here. The movie is so good. Will you go?”
“Fang Yu, I don’t want to mess around in Jiangbei. Can I follow you? I only obey you…”
……
Fang Yu was really annoyed with him, but he couldn’t reach out his hand and hit a smiling person’s face. No matter how annoyed he was, he couldn’t beat him away. Furthermore, Hua Mao hadn’t said anything that truly crossed the line, so he couldn’t scold him.
“You must have some business, coming here all day!”
One day, Fang Yu was really impatient, and said to Hua Mao.
“I don’t have any business. I just want to see you.”
Hua Mao’s words paired with Hua Mao’s affectionate eyes. Yang Lei, who was watching on the side, felt that his goosebumps were about to fall off.
“…” Fang Yu was simply confused by Hua Mao’s staring.
Yang Lei thought that this Hua Mao was abnormal, very abnormal.
Hua Mao did as he said. He brought thirty or forty people under his leadership and went to Luo Jiu.
Luo Jiu just happened to want to open an arcade at Jiangbei. Just as he was worrying about manpower, Hua Mao and this group of influential Jiangbei gangsters were willing to join him. It was just what he wanted.
Thus, Hua Mao properly came under Fang Yu’s leadership. He started to work for Fang Yu.
Hua Mao wasn’t lacking in substance, and he didn’t just fight like a sissy. Not long after he became one of Fang Yu’s followers, he fought with Fang Yu in several tough battles where Luo Jiu was expanding his territory in Jiangbei. He rushed to the front and was very brave. Due to Hua Mao’s reckless bravery and his active string-pulling and contact with the locals, without much effort, Fang Yu seized those territories in Jiangbei, helped Luo Jiu pave the way, and successfully opened the arcade.
After several fierce battles, Fang Yu approved of Hua Mao. He changed his opinion of Hua Mao, regarding Hua Mao as a brother under his leadership.
During that time, Yang Lei was also busy. Yan Ziyi had opened a company for contracting construction projects. In the early 1990s, Yan Ziyi was among the first people who started to have the foresight to get involved in the real estate market.
Yang Lei was helping in the company, and Fang Yu was busy with Luo Jiu’s Jiangbei territory. During that time, they didn’t meet much. Yang Lei just kept hearing about Fang Yu’s battle victories in Jiangbei.
The day Fang Yu came back from Jiangbei, Yang Lei went to find them. The two of them and a group of Fang Yu’s brothers for life gathered together for a meal. That group of brothers left, and Yang Lei and Fang Yu returned to Fang Yu’s home.
Fang Yu drank a little too much. When he got back home, he half lay on the sofa. Yang Lei saw that he was lying uncomfortably, and went over to help him undo the collar of his dress shirt.
The door outside, which wasn’t closed yet, was gently pushed open. Someone walked in, and Yang Lei didn’t pay attention. He thought that one of Fang Yu’s brothers had come in as well, bending over to help Fang Yu undo his buttons.
“…”
Hua Mao looked at them, his expression surprised, sad, and a little angry.
“Yu Ge, I have something to tell you.”
Hua Mao said. Yang Lei stepped aside. He was really annoyed by this Hua Mao.
“Yeah, what is it?”
Fang Yu propped up his body and sat up.
Hua Mao didn’t even look at Yang Lei who was standing to the side.
“Yu Ge, do you know that my feelings towards you are very special?”
Hua Mao said.
Fang Yu’s gaze became a little sober. He glanced at Hua Mao, then avoided his eyes.
At that time, homosexuality wasn’t as common, unlike now as in Brokeback Mountain, but Hua Mao’s feelings towards Fang Yu were obvious, unhidden, and visible to everyone. In non-work settings, Fang Yu intentionally kept avoiding him.
“Do you know that I’ve always really liked you?”
Hua Mao looked straight into Fang Yu’s eyes.
“…”
Fang Yu didn’t know what to say. He was awkwardly silent.
Yang Lei stood to the side. This was his first time seeing a man confess to another man, and even nakedly saying the word “like.”
Yang Lei’s feelings were strange and complex. He was also shocked.
“…Hua Mao, go back first.”
Fang Yu said.
“If there’s anything, let’s talk about it later.”
Fang Yu stood up. He avoided Hua Mao’s fiery eyes.
Hua Mao suddenly rushed over, throwing himself into Fang Yu’s arms, reaching out and hugging Fang Yu tightly.
“Yu Ge! I love you!”
Hua Mao shouted passionately.
Fang Yu and Yang Lei were both stunned. While Fang Yu still hadn’t come to his senses, Hua Mao turned Fang Yu’s face over.
When Yang Lei saw Hua Mao’s lips get closer to Fang Yu, before his thoughts could catch up, he had already used his fists, beating Hua Mao to the ground with one punch.
“Are you fucking sick?!”
Yang Lei scolded angrily!
Hua Mao got up and wanted to hit Yang Lei. Fang Yu grabbed his hand.
“Enough!”
“Yu Ge, what relationship do you have with him?”
Flames shot from Hua Mao’s eyes. He certainly wasn’t a pushover.
“Are you going out with him??”
“Bullshit!” Fang Yu was angry.
“His thoughts towards you also aren’t straight!” Hua Mao shouted, pointing at Yang Lei firmly. “I noticed it long ago. Yang Lei, don’t you pretend!”
Yang Lei was stunned, and couldn’t even respond to the words.
Hua Mao ran out.
“…” Fang Yu and Yang Lei were both very awkward.
“Why are you keeping such a person?” Yang Lei finally said after a long time.
“His heart isn’t bad.”
“You should have made it clear to him sooner!” Yang Lei’s mood wasn’t that great.
“Enough.” Fang Yu didn’t want to mention this topic.
“If Hua Mao looks for you, don’t act too cruelly. No matter what, he’s my brother right now.”
“Does he consider you a brother? Just now he wanted…” Yang Lei was somewhat unable to keep speaking.
“He also said that about us two! Will you hit him again? He’s just like that! If it’s over, then it’s over. I’ll speak to him later.”
Fang Yu said tolerantly.
Yang Lei didn’t go back that night. He stayed on Fang Yu’s steel wire bed. Fang Yu was already asleep beside him, while Yang Lei watched a video alone.
But his mind was never on the video.
I see, so Hua Mao was just a means of directly introducing homosexuality to theses two, and perhaps to help realize Yang Lei’z feelings faster? Or at least become conscious of Fang Yu. I look forward to their progress. And I hope Hua Mao can find someone who loves him too! So long as he knows his boundaries that is, and not become a lightbulb
Thanks for the chapter~♡♡♡
Awww Yang Lei speaking about soul mates while the person he was referring to was right there!
And he didn’t realize what kind of like he felt towards Fang Yu.
And Fang Yu is just shocked a out everything.
