Chapter 35: A Big Step for The Little Tortoise
“Do you like me?”
Chang Le felt that this question was even more embarrassing than letting him admit that he was ugly.
His face flushed red, and he felt as though he was about to explode. He lowered his head embarrassedly, his fingers twisted together, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to get into the hole in the corner of the wall.
How can you answer this question?
Of course, he likes him but just because he likes him, in front of his sweetheart, it makes this answer even more embarrassing.
Besides, after speaking it out, will it become another thing that bothers Brother Yu?
If it is for the good of Brother Yu, it seems that denying would be better.
He thought about it all until his head was a mess, but in the end, he felt sad.
To like a person and not dare to let him know. Chang Le began to hate himself like this again.
Reaching out, he lifted Chang Le’s chin. Yu Qingze didn’t know how many times he did this action today. His fingers were already proficient in remembering the touch of Chang Le’s chin.
“Le-ger, look at me.” Yu Qingze said in a tougher tone: “Look at my eyes and tell me, do you like me or not?”
Chang Le’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t dare to look at Yu Qingze, for fear that if he glanced at him, the secret in his heart would be discovered.
This little turtle!
Yu Qingze simply held his face with both hands, fixed it, and said very aggressively: “Le-ger, if you don’t look at me again, I’ll kiss you.”
Eh? EH!
Hearing this, Chang Le rolled his eyes abruptly and looked at Yu Qingze in horror.
They were in public, how could Big Brother Yu say something so embarrassing?
Seeing that he finally looked at himself, Yu Qingze felt disappointed. He looked into Chang Le’s eyes and said seriously: Le-ger, it’s not a shame to like someone. Every one of us has this right. These are all very normal feelings. I believe you know this, huh?”
Chang Le nodded slightly, and the “threat” Yu Qingze said just now that he would kiss him echoed in his mind, and he couldn’t help but look at Yu Qingze’s mouth.
Yu Qingze: These little eyes are looking for a kiss…
Yu Qingze squinted his eyes slightly, his voice became low, and his head pressed closer to Chang Le, and asked, “Le-ger, do you want me to kiss you?”
Hearing this, Chang Le suddenly returned to his senses, only to realize that he didn’t know when Yu Qingze’s eyes had changed from clear to deep and dangerous as if he was staring at a prey in his eyes.
He shook his head frantically, tilting his head back, to stay away from Yu Qingze.

Yu Qingze moved his head back a little bit. After Chang Le stopped, he reached out and clicked on Chang Le’s head, and said with a serious face: “Le-ger, feel what you feel in your mind,” and then he moved his fingers down and lightly tapped Chang Le’s chest, “And here, what you feel in your heart, face your heart honestly, be brave, tell me, do you like me?”
The location of his heart was hot, not only because of Yu Qingze’s words, but also because of the seemingly non-existent contact on his chest, which seems to have been cursed, penetrating his clothes, flesh, bones, and blood, and going straight into his heart. A huge wave was stirred up inside.
Chang Le raised his eyes to look at Yu Qingze. His eyes were dark and deep, like a lake with a calm but bottomless surface. In the middle of the lake, there seemed to be a cluster of flames burning, full of expectation and encouragement, affectionate and a little…anxiousness.
He is encouraging me to tell the secret, he is waiting for my answer, and he wants to hear me say that I like him.
Chang Le felt like he had fallen into the deep lake, as if bewitched, a voice kept saying in his mind: Speak out, tell him! Let him know, you like him too!
Finally, he nodded slightly.
When Yu Qingze saw him nodding, he was relieved, grinned happily, and excitedly reached out and hugged Chang Le: “Le-ger, you are amazing!”
Now he knows that he likes him too!
Yu Qingze originally thought that it would take a while before he could see Chang Le confess, but now that he can admit that he likes him so quickly is an unexpected big improvement.
He was afraid that he felt that he was so inferior that he didn’t even dare to admit that he liked him. Then his ‘chasing his husband’ road would really be a dark road, and he would not be able to step on it.
Fortunately, fortunately, Chang Le still has a brave side in his heart.
Yu Qingze was so happy that he hugged Chang Le and smiled tightly.
Yu Qingze’s happy mood infected Chang Le. Seeing him so happy, he couldn’t help but smile as well.
His entire face was pressed into Yu Qingze’s arms, and the tip of his nose was breathing Yu Qingze’s breath. He smiled and blushed, so shy that he didn’t know where to put his hands, so he could only press his pants tightly. Rigid, his body did not dare to move.
He didn’t know why he nodded and admitted just now. He didn’t want to let Brother Yu know about it, but now it’s useless to regret it, he knows it all now.
Seeing that Brother Yu is so happy, he likes his admission, and it seems that it is not… troublesome?
The two held one another for a long time before Yu Qingze let go of Chang Le. Chang Le had become a little cooked turtle.
Yu Qingze was happy and spoke a lot more relaxedly. He held Chang Le’s shoulder and said: “Le-ger, be more like this in the future. You can tell me what you think and what you like. Don’t you know? I want to know more about you. I want to be closer to you.”
Hearing this, Chang Le nodded lightly, very shy.
Yu Qingze smiled comfortingly, stretched out his hand to him, and said: “The lantern festival is almost halfway through. Let’s go shopping?”
Chang Le looked at the palm extending towards him, hesitated for a moment, and finally put his hand gently into the big palm.
The two of them walked out of the small corner where the light was not very bright, holding hands.
Yu Qingze squeezed his hand, smiled at Chang Le, and said, “Le-ger, let’s pick the most beautiful lantern!”
Chang Le was a little embarrassed about holding hands, pursed his lips and nodded lightly, and then let the man next to him lead him, slowly moving forward.
“Le-ger, do you like animals or flowers and plants?” The two walked to the largest lantern stand, with all kinds of beautiful lanterns hanging on it, all very beautiful.
Chang Le glanced at the lantern with four golden carp playing in the water. He pulled Yu Qingze’s sleeve and pointed at it.
“The one with the fish?” Yu Qingze asked.
Chang Le nodded.
The four golden carp reminded him of his grandfather, younger brother, Brother Yu, and him. Moreover, Chang Le’s face became hot, Yu (鱼- fish), just like Brother Yu’s last name.
Yu Qingze didn’t think so much before and said with a smile: “Okay, then we’ll take that. Boss, get me that golden carp!”
“Okay. Honored guest, I wish you good luck and wealth! Husband and wife are harmonious, and everything will be prosperous!”
“I will take your good words!” Yu Qingze gave the money, took the golden carp lantern from the boss, and handed it to Chang Le.
Chang Le blushed at the boss’s “Husband and Wife” sentence, took the lantern, and dragged Yu Qingze forward quickly.
When Yu Qingze saw it, he smirked, leaned to Chang Le’s ear, and deliberately asked: “Le-ger, what’s the matter with you? Why is your face so red?”
Chang Le ignored him, not looking at the side at first, and walked forward with his red face.
After walking for a while, Chang Le couldn’t help but secretly glanced at the man next to him. He was handsome, tall, and firm, and his character was so good. Most gers would like him.
There was a little joy in Chang Le’s heart. Such a good Brother Yu said that he liked himself!
Husband and wife are in harmony. If he can really become a husband to Brother Yu and build a happy and harmonious family, then he will definitely be the happiest ger in the world.
If what Brother Yu said today is true, he doesn’t mind that he can’t speak, he doesn’t mind the ugly scar on his forehead, and he doesn’t mind if he may have no children in the future. No matter how difficult the road is, as long as Brother Yu still likes him, he was willing to stay with him all his life and never give up.
“Le-ger, did you suddenly find that I was a little more handsome again and that you liked me a little more?” Yu Qingze was quietly observing Chang Le all the way, knowing that he had peeped at him several times, this time he couldn’t help it. So, he whispered in his ear.
It was Chang Le’s first time opening up, and he was only able to admit his feelings correctly and bravely just now. He doesn’t know that Yu Qingze is just teasing him, and he still remembers what Yu Qingze said that he has to say anything in his mind. It was executed honestly.
Although shy, he nodded slightly.
Yu Qingze paused and was taken aback by Chang Le’s honest answer, and after reacting, his heart thumped and jumped quickly.
The indirect confession caught him off guard!
Such a cute Le-ger, he wants to hug, wants to kiss!
But, not yet!
Looking at the crowded street, Yu Qingze sighed. If he fails, he gets slapped, then he was really asking for hardships.
The two of them wandered all the way, and bought Chang Hao a little lion lantern, fried chestnuts, sugar candies, and hawthorns, and also bought a few snacks and some gadgets.
When the two remembered that they had to go to the river to place lotus lanterns, their hands were already full of things. In addition to holding hands, Le-ger held two lanterns in his right hand, while Yu Qingze was holding a bunch of food to play with.
Seeing the many things in their arms, the two smiled at each other. In the end, Yu Qingze simply went to buy a bamboo basket and put all the small things in it. Then he bought two lotus lanterns and followed the crowd to the pier outside the city to set the river lanterns.
There were many people putting lights on the pier, but fortunately, the pier is quite big.
When the two arrived, there were already many lotus lights floating in the river.
They waited for a while before they got a seat. They borrowed a fire to light the lotus lantern from others, and the two carefully placed the lotus lantern in the water.
The colorful lotus lamp carries a small orange candle in the center to embellish the river surface into a lotus pond in June. The lotus is bright and glowing, gradually drifting away with people’s good wishes and wishes.
On the way back to the city, Yu Qingze asked Chang Le: “Le-ger, what wish did you just make?”
Chang Le pursed his lips embarrassedly and shook his head gently without telling him.
His wishes are: a healthy family, harmony between husband and wife, filial piety for his grandfather, happiness, and well-being.
The author has something to say: Chang Le: You hit my chest! Fortunately, I am chestless!
Yu Qingze: …fortunately you have no chest.
