Happy Fasting!
editor: Storm
Qiao Yichen looked up at the already dark sky, and the dim glow of the street lamp outlined his profile.
When Lin Dongyang came down, he saw such a scene and his heartbeat suddenly became chaotic. He put the thing in his hand behind him and approached. When Qiao Yichen turned his head and saw him, his negative emotions faded a little.
Lin Dongyang carried a bag with one hand and put the other hand behind his back, walking over and asking with a smile, “Have you eaten?”
Qiao Yichen: “Not yet.” He didn’t have the appetite to eat at home. He had been troubled by what his mother had said for the past two days, but he didn’t plan to tell Lin Dongyang about it.
“These are your clothes. I washed them.” Lin Dongyang handed the bag to Qiao Yichen, which contained the clothes he had worn yesterday, already washed and dried. Qiao Yichen took them.
“And this,” Lin Dongynag then pulled out the thing he had prepared from behind him and handed it to Qiao Yichen. It was a small, delicate box with a beautiful logo printed on it—— Strawberry House.
What he had hid mysteriously behind him just now was this Strawberry House cake.
Qiao Yichen rarely ate sweets. Seeing Lin Dongyang suddenly take out a cake from behind his back and give it to him, his first reaction wasn’t to take it but to ask, “Why did you buy this?”
“For you to eat ah. Although it’s a little late.” Lin Dongyang scratched his head in embarrassment.
The Strawberry House cake shop wasn’t close to the campus. Lin Dongyang deliberately went a long way to buy it for Qiao Yichen this afternoon, because he liked to eat sweets when he wasn’t happy, telling himself that eating sweet food would make him feel better. So, when he heard Qiao Yichen say he wasn’t happy, Lin Dongyang’s first reaction was to buy him his favorite cake.
It was just that Qiao Yichen had only come today, so it couldn’t be given to him at the right time, which made Lin Dongyang a bit regretful.
Qiao Yichen looked at the giggling person in front of him and his heart was about to overflow with warmth. He reached out to take the cake and grabbed Lin Dongyang’s hand at the same time. He said in a deep voice, “Thank you,” Thank you for thinking of me.
“You’re welcome, as long as you like it,” Lin Dongyang wanted to withdraw his hand. After all, there were a lot of students coming in and out of the dormitory right now, and it didn’t feel good to be seen by them.
Instead of letting go, Qiao Yichen held his wrist tighter. “I have something for you too.”
“What is it?”
“First, you have to accompany me to take my clothes up to my dorm,” Qiao Yichen dragged him into the No.5 dormitory building across from them.
When they opened the door, the dorm room was dark, and Lin Dongyang asked, “Where’s An Qi?”
Qiao Yichen turned on the light and put the bag aside, replying, “He wouldn’t come back so early.”
Usually, they would only leave from Rongjing Bay at 8 o’clock on Sunday night. But today he had decided to come back early, leaving An Qi, who used to accompany him, behind. It was estimated that An Qi would scold him for having no conscience when he came back.

He actually wrote it!
“Go back and read it.” Qiao Yichen squirmed as he handed the envelope to Lin Dongyang. His evasive look made Lin Dongyang’s heart itch.
The more shy Qiao Yichen was, the more Lin Dongyang wanted to tease him. This rare contrast appeared on Qiao Yichen’s deep facial features. Lin Dongyang felt that it was really cute, so he slowly pretended not to know anything and asked, “What is this ah?”
Qiao Yichen pursed his lips and didn’t answer.
Lin Dongyang deliberately continued to ask, “What the hell is it? If you don’t tell me, I’m going to open it right now…I’ll really open it!” He made a move to open the envelope.
Qiao Yichen furrowed his brow slightly, and finally spoke, “A love letter,” and then he hastily added, “You asked me to write it.”
Lin Dongyang smiled triumphantly, “Why is that so embarrassing to say? You wrote it after all,” he raised the nice-looking envelope in his hand. After coaxing Qiao Yichen to say it he still opened it on the spot.
Qiao Yichen tried to stop him, but Lin Dongyang immediately took a step back and pulled his arm away, “Hey! You’ve given it to me. I’m going to read it sooner or later, so why not now?”
He couldn’t wait to know what kind of love letter Qiao Yichen would write with his temper. At first he had just said it casually in order to sound him out and afterwards he had completely forgotten about it. He didn’t expect Qiao Yichen to actually write it.
The envelope was opened and inside was a piece of paper with a carefully written confession on it. It was not a long and tedious speech about love, but just a simple sentence.
Qiao Yichen walked over and suddenly embraced him from behind. At that moment, Lin Dongyang felt that the whole world had become silent, leaving only Qiao Yichen whispering affectionately in his ear:
“You’re the Earth’s aurora borealis, brilliantly illuminating my entire sky.”
This was the sentence written on the piece of paper.
That one sentence had made Qiao Yichen toss and turn for so long until he was finally able to find the most appropriate expression. He took it to heart.
This kind of feeling of someone giving you their whole heart made Lin Dongyang’s eyes unconsciously become slightly hot. He blinked as he listened to the calm breathing in his ears and said, “Aurora borealis ah, am I that beautiful?”
“You are the only one.” You are the only reason I won’t compromise.
“Really? Why did you make it so moving?” Lin Dongyang, who had just been clamoring to see the letter, was now about to bury his head in Qiao Yichen’s chest. The impact that Qiao Yichen had on him was simply devastating, making him unable to resist.
“Let me hold you for a while.” Qiao Yichen buried his face in Lin Dongyang’s neck, breathing in the unique smell of his body, his heart was peaceful.
Lin Dongyang also didn’t struggle, allowing him to embrace from behind. Since the absurdity of that drunken night, Qiao Yichen’s initiative and his acceptance had made their relationship progress extremely quickly. They were in a complete state of sweet and intimate love.
Lin Dongyang folded the letter back up and put it away, feeling the itch of Qiao Yichen’s hair on his neck, he asked, “Why were you unhappy yesterday?” He really wanted to know. Qiao Yichen didn’t have a good relationship with his father, and Lin Dongyang was worried that he was having another disagreement with his family.
Ever since I put you in my heart, I’ve started caring about everything that has to do with you.
Qiao Yichen gave a vague explanation, “My parents and I had different opinions,” As for what that difference was, he didn’t mention it.
“I know… I don’t want you to be unhappy,” Lin Dongyang soothingly patted his head that was nestled in the crook of his neck.
If this action was done by An Qi, who was his closest friend, Qiao Yichen would pounce on him without discussion and beat him up. But this person was Lin Dongyang. Qiao Yichen not only didn’t reject it, he even enjoyed burying his head closer.
“Are you planning to continue with grad school or work after graduation?” Nestled in the crook of his neck, Qiao Yichen’s voice sounded somewhat muffled.
Lin Dongyang didn’t understand why he was suddenly bringing it up but replied, “Work.”
“Don’t you want to keep studying?” The slight disappointment in his tone was almost completely concealed.
“It’s because I want to earn money ah.” Lin Dongyang joked as he leaned his head against Qiao Yichen’s, “Earn money to support you.”
Qiao Yichen’s arms that were around his waist tightened fiercely, as if he wanted to rub the person in his arms closer to his body. His breathing was a little messy as he swore authority, “I’m your boyfriend, it’s my duty to support you.”
“I’m obviously ‘older’ than you.”
“No.” Qiao Yichen said seriously, but Lin Dongyang said loudly, “I’m really ‘older’ than you!”
“Not really.”
“…” Lin Dongyang suddenly reacted, and his face darkened. The hand resting on Qiao Yichen’s head changed its position and directly started twisting his face, saying hatefully, “My age is older than yours!”
“En.” This time, Qiao Yichen admitted it.
“Let go of me!” These words full of naked contempt made Lin Dongyang short of breath for a while.
Qiao Yichen grinned, still shamelessly hugging him and not letting go. He was clearly in a better mood.
“Do you really want to work?” He asked again for confirmation.
“Most likely. I don’t want to continue to grad school, my English is too bad,” Lin Dongyang stopped playing around and considered it seriously before answering his question.
“I’ll teach you.” Qiao Yichen raised his head and stared at Lin Dongyang’s side profile as he volunteered. In fact, he had selfish intentions.
“You?” Lin Dognyang remembered that before the mid-term exam, An Qi had said that he and Qiao Yichen could help tutor him, but at that time, his relationship with Qiao Yichen wasn’t very friendly, so he politely refused. At this moment, speaking about this matter, Lin Dongyang said, “It’s useless for you to teach me, I really can’t learn.” He himself knew better than anyone about his own attitude towards English, he spent 3 days fishing and 2 days drying the net.
“Study well, if you make a mistake you’ll get punished.”
“What punishment?”
Qiao Yichen’s gaze swept to Lin Dongyang’s lips without deliberately pointing it out, but the explicit look in his eyes had already revealed all of his intentions.
“…” Lin Dongyang felt faint in his heart. “Forget it.” I’m afraid that you’ll kiss me to death.
Qiao Yichen laughed. When Lin Dongyang thought about how he would have to work after graduation, he suddenly asked Qiao Yichen with some melancholy in his heart, “You’ll probably finish grad school and then continue to pursue a doctoral degree, right?”
Qiao Yichen was silent. This was a necessary term in the agreement he had come to with his mother. He wanted to wait until he was certain before taking Lin Dongyang back home. At that time his parents wouldn’t be able to find a reason to stop him.
Yesterday, Ye Lin said, ‘If you had the ability, I wouldn’t even ask if you found a country girl,’ so Qiao Yichen agreed to the one-year agreement. He was very willing, from the bottom of his heart, to pave the way for Lin Dongyang.
“What’s with your expression?” Seeing that he didn’t say anything for a long time, Lin Dongyang’s mood subsequently hit rock bottom, and he lost the light-heartedness and fun from just now. It looked like he was right. Qiao Yichen’s family background probably didn’t allow him to just remain at this level of education.
Qiao Yichen said with some concern, “I’m afraid that after being separated from you for a long time, you won’t come back.” Even if he didn’t have to go abroad after a year, Lin Dongyang would already be working and he would have to continue studying in school. They would never be able to see each other everyday like they do now.
“Do you want me to wait for you?”
Qiao Yichen said in a muffled voice. “En.”
But Lin Dongyang smiled gently and said, “Given the gap between the rich and the poor between us, maybe we’ll go our separate ways after graduation.”
Liking someone didn’t have an expiry date. How many couples just walk their separate ways? Lin Dongyang had thought about this problem when he had agreed to be with Qiao Yichen. After all, it wasn’t so easy for same s*x couples to be accepted by others, and there were far more factors to consider than in a hetero-s*xual relationship. If it could be said that Qiao Yichen’s confession required courage, then he also required the courage to accept.
But he was reluctant to give up, he wanted it. Where they went was up to fate.
Qiao Yichen’s tightly wrapped arms suddenly loosened. He grabbed Lin Dongyang’s arm and turned him around so that they were face to face. His tone was weak but it had a strong force behind it that couldn’t be ignored, “Not allowed!”
I’m fighting for us, how can you even think about leaving!
“Why is it not allowed? What if you let go first.”
“Impossible!” Qiao Yichen’s gaze was firm, and his serious appearance looked like he was about to swear to Heaven.
Lin Dongyang wanted to end this conversation, after all, no one could know the future. Instead of worrying about it, it was better to cherish the present. He comforted Qiao Yichen, “It’s okay for you to just do what you like. You should study. I’m only 23, I can afford to wait.”
If our relationship could really last that long, I’ll definitely wait for you.
‘It’s okay for you to just do what you like’ Maybe this is the reason why I like you.
