Fei Bai was sitting on the bus returning to school when he got a call from Luo Yusen. The roadside trees swayed gently in the breeze, creating shifting shadows as the afternoon sun spilled into the bus. The way the shadow and light interacted was like ripples in the sea.
Fei Bai put his head against the window and partially covered his face with his sweater collar as the bus rolled slowly down the wide, smooth road. He put on his earbuds, closed his eyes, and began to listen to music.
His daydream was abruptly cut short when his headphones started to ring. He opened his eyes to see the name “Luo Yusen” on his phone’s screen.
Fei Bai pressed answer and lazily called out “Shixiong.”.
After a moment, he softened his voice and asked, “Shixiong, are you missing me?”
Luo Yusen paused for a moment before replying, “I want you to do something for me.”
“Well, that also counts as missing me,” Fei Bai realized, realizing that as long as Luo Yusen wasn’t in front of him, he could fully showcase his shameless side. “Shixiong, just say it, I’ll help you with anything.”
Then Luo Yusen spoke in an even softer tone, and after finishing, he returned to his normal volume, saying, “That works too.”
Luo Yusen responded with a soft “Hmm” and a smile. “Hmm. I’ll seriously consider Little Shidi’s suggestion.”
This seemingly serious remark contained some less serious implications, and Luo Yusen’s tone was half serious and half playful, unintentionally captivating.
As Fei Bai listened to the faint sound of Luo Yusen’s breathing through his headphones, he couldn’t help but be reminded of the kiss they shared in the alley an hour ago. At that moment, it felt like the entire universe existed solely for them, with Luo Yusen’s breath enveloping him, leaving him with no choice but to surrender.
A momentary distraction made him feel flustered, as if he were afraid that Luo Yusen on the other end of the phone could sense his inner turmoil. Gathering himself, he said, “Shixiong, I was just joking. What do you need me for?”

Fei Bai thought that since he didn’t have classes on Friday night, he readily agreed. The next day, when he went to his major class, he told Qiao Li that he wouldn’t be having dinner with him that night. After school, he carried his backpack to the school gate and waited for the driver from the Luo family to pick him up.
During this time, many people came to the school gate to pick up takeout. Fei Bai stood in the crowd, occasionally being bumped and jostled. He didn’t mind until someone kept bumping into his waist several times. He turned around in annoyance and asked, “What are you?”
The second half of his sentence was supposed to be “doing,” but when he saw the person’s face clearly, he suddenly felt a surge of fear, so he changed it to “Are you crazy?”
Xu Geyang stood very close to him, seeing him turn around without backing away, maintaining an ambiguous posture, and looking at him with lowered eyebrows and eyes. “What a coincidence, Fei Bai.”
Fei Bai bounced a few times among the pile of takeout on the ground, moving a few steps away from Xu Geyang. “It’s not a coincidence.”
Xu Geyang reached out to touch him, but Fei Bai dodged aside. “Don’t touch me.”
“What’s wrong with you?” Xu Geyang asked as if it were incredibly unbelievable that Fei Bai didn’t want him to touch him.
Fei Bai found it incredibly unbelievable that Xu Geyang dared to try to hold his hand. He spoke cautiously, considering the crowd around them. “Xu Geyang, watch your words and actions. You have a boyfriend now.”
Xu Geyang shrugged nonchalantly. “Doesn’t matter.”
“It doesn’t matter?” Fei Bai’s eyebrows were about to reach his hairline as he stared into Xu Geyang’s eyes, speaking deliberately, “Whether you care or not, I do. I don’t want to get involved with someone who has a boyfriend.”
At this moment, a black business car stopped across the street. Fei Bai saw the driver from the Luo family lower the window and look in their direction. Uncertain if the driver recognized Xu Geyang, Fei Bai subtly moved aside, trying to slip through the crowd without attracting attention, to avoid the driver seeing him and Xu Geyang in a tug-of-war.
“Fei Bai!” Xu Geyang didn’t want to let him go like this and stepped forward to block his path.
Without even looking at him, Fei Bai furrowed his brows and forcefully pushed him away. After walking a few steps, he turned back sincerely.
“Xu Geyang, I really think we should maintain an appropriate distance, like keeping apart like the sun and moon.”
He didn’t look at Xu Geyang’s expression and quickly walked to the side of the business car under the cover of the crowd, pulled open the door, and got in.
Xu Geyang, who remained in place, noticed the brand of the car, and his eyes flashed with surprise. Then his expression became somewhat complicated.
The driver apparently saw the entanglement between Fei Bai and Xu Geyang just now. After Fei Bai got into the car, he glanced at him through the rearview mirror and asked, “Mr. Fei, was that your classmate just now?”
Fei Bai thought the driver probably didn’t recognize Xu Geyang and didn’t want to say much. He simply responded, “Yeah.”
The driver kindly offered advice, “Was he bothering you? If he was, you can tell Mr. Luo about it…”
As soon as Fei Bai heard this suggestion, he felt his scalp tingling and quickly interrupted him. “No, it’s nothing. He just spoke a bit rudely earlier and got a bit agitated while talking. It’s really nothing. There’s no need to tell Mr. Luo.”
During rush hour, it took nearly an hour for the car to reach the villa on the Second Ring Road. Fei Bai sat in the back seat, playing a game, and when he looked up, the sky outside had darkened.
He walked through the artificial hills and potted plants in the yard, and Aunt Zhang was already waiting for him with the door open. Warm light poured out from the villa’s floor-to-ceiling windows, casting ambiguous reflections in the pond in the courtyard and illuminating the path beneath his feet.
When he reached the door, the warm aura emanating from inside the house made Fei Bai’s heart swell for a moment.
It felt like coming home.
But the next moment, he snapped back to reality. This was the Second Ring Road villa that was nearly turned into a tourist spot by him years ago. Going home? Dream on. Even buying a lottery ticket with a one-in-eight-million chance of winning seemed more realistic than this place becoming his home.
Aunt Zhang closed the door and took his coat from him, hanging it on the standing coat rack beside the foyer. She told him that dinner was ready and he could go eat now.
Fei Bai thanked Aunt Zhang and, after washing his hands, sat down at the dining table. He had just picked up a few bites of food when his phone vibrated.
It was a message from Luo Yusen, asking if he had arrived home.
Fei Bai looked at the word “home” and hesitated for a moment. Although he knew there was an implied “my” in front of it, this sentence still gave him a bit of warmth on this autumn night.
“Arrived,” Fei Bai replied.
After a few seconds, Luo Yusen sent him another message: “If you come back late tonight, you can stay over.”
