Being so close to him, Ye Ming couldn’t help but replay the scene where Lu Xiuwen kissed and pressed him under his body. The sound ringing in his ears made it impossible for him to stay calm. His heart was racing uncontrollably.
He lifted his head slightly and was able to see his own reflection in Lu Xiuwen’s eyes. At this moment, Lu Xiuwen’s expression was deep and resounding as if his answer was of great importance to him.
Ye Ming drew in a deep breath and said stammeringly, “No, it’s not disgusting. It’s your freedom to like…whoever your heart desires.”
Yes, it was nothing but a matter of sexuality. What was there to be disgusted about? Furthermore…why would he find Uncle Lu disgusting?
He was just shocked by the fact that Uncle Lu was homosexual. To him, Uncle Lu had always been perfect, no matter what he did; he would never find him disgusting!
Lu Xiuwen stared hard at Ye Ming. After a long while, a very faint smile formed on his lips and he slowly loosen his grip. “You can go now.”
Ye Ming was so nervous just now that his legs went soft as jelly. Hearing such a statement was like being granted an amnesty. He dashed out at lightning speed and closed his bedroom door with a loud ‘bang’.
Lu Xiuwen chuckled as he looked at Ye Ming fleeing. But his eyes were deep, hidden with pain. In the previous life…you said that I was disgusting and you despised me. In this life, I will not let this happen again.
You will not escape from me.
Ye Ming was cooperative and participated in Lu Xiuwen’s act. He returned to his bedroom and continued sleeping.
The next morning, he woke up in high spirits.
[Ye Ming: I knew it, this world is easy. Hehe, I didn’t need to do anything but play my role well. I’ll follow the path of my previous life and wait for Uncle Lu to take action. I’ll then pretend to fall in love with him and that should be able to dissipate a lot of blackening value!]
[888: …]
[Ye Ming: That’s why it’s better to find someone older to fall in love with. Older men are more mature, they will pamper me as their own son. No matter how I make a fuss, he simply won’t argue with me O(∩_∩)O~]
[888: Since you already knew that’s the case, why are you still making a fuss?] Whoever has a son like you must be extremely unlucky.
[Ye Ming: …]
[Ye Ming: Yeah, I know I was wrong QAQ]
[888: Hehe.] Oh no you don’t.
Ye Ming went downstairs for breakfast after he washed up. As usual, Lu Xiuwen was already up, sitting there, waiting for him. He smiled at him naturally. “You’re awake.”
It seemed that he was not embarrassed at all after his secret had been discovered last night. Upon seeing this, Ye Ming was less nervous. It seemed that Uncle Lu didn’t mind him discovering his secret.

No wonder Uncle Lu never had any girlfriends all these years. It turned out that he was homosexual! But…why was it that he also never had any boyfriends?

Ye Ming was a little embarrassed to face Lu Xiuwen. He finished his meal and hurriedly went to school.
Because a new term had started, his two other roommates were back already. They were curious to find that Ye Ming would not be staying in the dorm anymore. After they learnt that he was requested by his guardian to stay at home, they all mocked him for being a baby. Ye Ming stated that he would not bother with those senseless people.
Hu Lei was a great friend. Knowing that Ye Ming would not be staying in the dorm, he took the initiative to reserve a seat for him in class that morning. As soon as Ye Ming entered the classroom, he saw Hu Lei waving at him. “Here, here.”
Ye Ming smiled as he walked there and sat down. He said to Hu Lei, “Thanks.”
Hu Lei said in a carefree manner, “There’s no need to be modest. You should treat me to a meal if you really wanted to thank me. You are a local tyrant.” Although he was not sure about Ye Ming’s family background, he could tell that Ye Ming’s family was well off based on his daily spending habits and attire. He wasn’t the least sorry for eating off a local tyrant.
Ye Ming smiled faintly. “Sure.”
Just as he was talking to Hu Lei, a beautiful girl wearing a gown sat beside them. She smiled at Ye Ming in a natural and unrestrained manner. “Hi, Gu Ran.”
Ye Ming’s mind went blank for a while and he smiled. “Hi.”
Hu Lei’s eyes were looking straight at Ye Ming in jealousy. Even An Xiaoqi liked Ye Ming…Goddess Xiaoqi was the sexual fantasy among the otaku gang. But she didn’t like rough fellows like them but was fond of pretty boys like Ye Ming. This world had been too cruel to them.
If it wasn’t because Ye Ming was in the same dormitory as him, Hu Lie might possibly have said something sarcastic to him out of jealousy.
Although Ye Ming had a relatively simple temperament, the girl had shown such obvious signs that she was fond of him. It was impossible that he couldn’t feel it. He was a little too embarrassed and nervous to speak much.
The more An Xiaoqi looked at Ye Ming, the more she felt that his shyness was adorable. She sat beside him, cupping her chin with her hand, glancing at Ye Ming from time to time.
The classes started after a while. Ye Ming lowered his head to take notes as he listened attentively in class. Because he was nervous, he didn’t speak to An Xiaoqi throughout the lesson. It wasn’t because he had absolutely no feelings toward An Xiaoqi. As a normal university student, it was perfectly normal to have good feelings toward girls like An Xiaoqi. But it was a guy thing…sometimes, the more you have feelings for that individual, the more uneasy you feel when you are together.
An Xiaoqi pursed her lips and smiled. When the lesson was about to end, she said to Ye Ming, “I only focused on listening to the class just now and didn’t manage to take proper notes. Can you lend me your notes?”
Ye Ming promptly replied, “Sure!” He passed his notes to An Xiaoqi.
An Xiaoqi took Ye Ming’s notes with her delicate long fingers and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. She smiled and said, “Thank you. I’ll treat you to lunch next time.”
Ye Ming blushed slightly. “There’s no need to be modest, it’s just a small matter.”
An Xiaoqi stood up and squinted, then stooped over and smiled. “If you don’t accept my offer, I will be embarrassed to seek help from you next time.” After she finished her words, she turned around and left with a few other girls while laughing.
Hu Lei saw her goddess leaving and sourly said, “You have to go for that lunch date!”
Ye Ming asked, “Why?”
Hu Lei put his hands on Ye Ming’s shoulder and looked at him slyly, “You are about to get yourself a partner and have a wonderful and blessed university life. But your brother, me, is still single, you’re not going to be so unkind right? Goddess An Xiaoqi has a few besties who are all beauties. If you bring me along for lunch, she will for sure bring her friends along right? Hehe…”
Ye Ming said, “If I bring you along, won’t it be inappropriate since she’s the one paying the bill?”
Hu Lei almost died from being infuriated, “If you bring me along, do you think I will let her pay???”
Ye Ming, “…”
At the end of the school day, Hu Lei kept reminding Ye Ming to remember to bring him along if he went to the lunch date. Ye Ming has no choice but to agree.
By the time he reached home, Lu Xiuwen was already home. He smiled and patted the seat beside him on the sofa. “Come have a seat, Xiao Ran.”
Ye Ming obediently went over and sat down. “Uncle.”
Lu Xiuwen turned his head slightly and stared at Ye Ming with his deep eyes. “Is everything going smoothly at school lately?”
Ye Ming quickly replied, “Everything’s good, it’s all smooth…Hmm, Feng Shuo didn’t look for me.”
Lu Xiuwen nodded. “That’s good.”
After a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his hand to touch Ye Ming’s head. With a low, gentle voice and profound smile on his face, he said, “Then what about your love life? If you have a girlfriend, don’t keep it a secret from me.”
When Ye Ming thought about An Xiaoqi, an unnatural look showed in his eyes. But they were not yet in that sort of relationship yet, so he said softly, “No, I don’t have a girlfriend.”
Lu Xuiwen noticed the unnatural look in Ye Ming’s eyes and recalled today’s report. He appeared calm but his eyes gradually became colder. Although he changed some things after he was reborn, there were still some events that inevitably would happen the same as the previous life.
An Xiaoqi liked Ye Ming, and very soon they would get into a relationship. After he learned about their relationship in the previous life, he was in extreme pain. But even so, he never did anything to destroy their relationship as he was afraid that Ye Ming would resent him if he did anything to stop them from being together.
Luckily, this relationship did not last long. Before Lu Xiuwen almost couldn’t control himself anymore, they’d already broken up. It was the same as most university relationships, coming and going quickly, ending by itself…But this time, Lu Xiuwen would not allow them to be a couple again, even if it was only for a short period of time.
He had always been considerate toward Ye Ming. In order not to affect his life or trouble him, he would rather suffer and watch him date another woman. But what happened in the end? You still betrayed me and left.
It was my mistake to indulge you so much that you got further and further from me.
Lu Xiuwen stood up and smiled as if nothing had happened. “Let’s eat.”
Ye Ming also stood up and was slightly relieved. He couldn’t figure out why he felt stressed when Lu Xiuwen sat beside him just now. It wasn’t like that before, they had always been close family members. But since what happened the other night, and after learning that Lu Xiuwen was homosexual, he didn’t feel comfortable like before when he was around Uncle Lu.
Ye Ming returned to his own room to finish some assignments given by the teacher after he finished dinner.
Just as he lowered his head, deep in thought, someone suddenly knocked on his door.
Ye Ming said without lifting his head, “Come in.”
Lu Xiuwen pushed the door open and came in with a plate of fruits. He placed it on Ye Ming’s desk. He saw that Ye Ming was a little distressed, so he bent over behind him with both hands on the edge of the study desk, looking at Ye Ming’s assignments. Ye Ming was shrouded in his embrace and from that angle, it looked as if he was hugging Ye Ming from behind. His steady breath fell on Ye Ming’s neck, and he asked, “What are you working on?”
Ye Ming blushed. Lu Xiuwen breathing on his neck tickled him and made him feel numb all over his body. He recalled that night again.
It was such a normal thing, why did he always think so much lately!
Ye Ming was so nervous that his voice sounded stiff. “Nothing much, it’s just some assignments from the teacher.”
Lu Xiuwen let out a soft laugh “Okay, don’t stay up too late, rest early.”
He straightened his back and closed the door as he walked out.
After Lu Xiuwen left, that weird repressive atmosphere also disappeared. Ye Ming touched his neck with a complex look in his eyes.
[Ye Ming: Uncle was very unhappy. I think there’s no chance for me to be in a relationship with this girlfriend of mine.]
[888: I think so too.]
[Ye Ming: It’s such a pity. Actually An Xiaoqi is really a suitable candidate for a girlfriend. Previously, because I was in a relationship, it triggered Uncle Lu to increase some affection value. But this time around, I can’t be in a relationship, otherwise it would increase the blackening value.]
[888: …]
Although he kept telling himself to not bother about it, what happened the other night and Lu Xiuwen’s sexual preference still made Ye Ming feel uneasy. Since he was also a man, he couldn’t be intimate with Uncle Lu like before anymore. He should keep an appropriate distance from him. After all, they were no longer in a pure homosexual relationship, thus this mean they are open to a heterosexual relationship mode with each other!
Moreover, he was no longer a child, he had his own circle of friends and life. In order to hide from Lu Xiuwen, Ye Ming spent even more time in school.
Lu Xiuwen obviously sensed Ye Ming’s changes. Although he didn’t show any reaction to this, the feeling that he constrained in his heart had gradually become twisted. This time you still wanted to break free from me and live your own life? How can this be…I should be the only one in your life. I am your everything, you must rely on me.
You can only stay by my side.
