After coming down from the Happy Wind and Fire Wheel, Shen He immediately looked at Li Muran nervously and asked, “How are you? Is your head still dizzy?”
Li Muran held Shen He’s hand and still didn’t let go, and his face calmly said, “I’m fine.”
Shen He supported him and said, “Is it really okay? I remember that your twin brother also has a fear of heights? At that time, he also came to a new game to try, but because the fear of heights was too serious, he was dizzy in 3D, so he returned to Miracle side. Is this still inherited? Both of you are afraid of heights?”
His brother, who was far away in the Dragon Song club, suddenly got a big sneeze.
Li Muran lightly bypassed this topic and said, “My situation is not as serious as my brother’s, it’s just uncomfortable. Let’s go.”
He let go of the topic and led Shen He to move on.
Fortunately, Shen He played most of the high-altitude stimulation games once. Next, they strolled around the amusement park leisurely, and Shen He was very excited to buy some kebabs for Li Muran to eat.
It wasn’t until dark that Shen He reluctantly left Happy Valley.
After walking out of the gate of Happy Valley, Shen He looked back and couldn’t help saying, “There are still many projects that I don’t have time to play. I’ll come again when I have a chance.”
“Do you like this kind of amusement park very much?” Li Muran asked softly.
Shen He immediately nodded and said, “En, it’s fun and exciting!”
He was really childlike. Li Muran couldn’t help but smile and said, “I’ll take you to Hong Kong Disneyland when I have a chance in the future.”
Shen He looked forward to it. “I have always wanted to go to Hong Kong! Why don’t we make an appointment to go to Hong Kong next season’s holiday, and I’ll apply for a visa in advance.”
Li Muran nodded. “Okay.”
Only then did Shen He discover that both of them had been holding hands.
At first, Li Muran held hands because on the Happy Wind and Fire Wheel, Li Muran suddenly said that he was afraid of heights and held Shen He’s hand. Shen He didn’t break away at that time. After coming down from the Wind and Fire Wheel, he was worried that Li Muran was dizzy and was held by the other side, and Shen He didn’t pull back his hand. As a result… He had so much fun that he forgot about it all the time.
It wasn’t until now that he calmed down, Shen He suddenly realised that something was wrong with this situation.
He immediately pulled his finger back from Li Muran’s hand, and his ears were slightly red. He coughed and said, “That, I’m sorry, I didn’t realise I was pulling you all the time…”
Li Muran thought, I took the initiative to lead you, why do you apologize instead?
Looking at Shen He’s red ears, Li Muran said faintly, “Nothing, it’s me who led you first.”
Shen He: “…”
Unexpectedly, he said it so directly. What did he mean?
Shen He was stunned, rubbing his hot fingers gently, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
His nerve was thick enough to stroll hand in hand with Li Muran??
In response to Li Muran’s gaze, Shen He quickly turned around and said as he walked forward, “Let’s go eat, cough, what to eat tonight?”
“Do you like hotpot?” Li Muran asked, “I invite you to eat authentic Chaoshan meatball hotpot.”
“Okay, I haven’t eaten it yet.” Shen He nodded immediately.
Li Muran took him to a hotpot restaurant, and both of them found a place by the window to sit down. This beef bone soup was particularly famous, and the beef was very fresh. Li Muran ordered a few special dishes. After the pot base was served, he took the initiative to cook the meatballs for Shen He, and waited for the meatballs to be cooked before putting them in Shen He’s bowl.
Taking a bite, Shen Hen immediately squinted his eyes. “It’s delicious!”
He was like a monkey when he was alive and kicking at ordinary times, but he was like a well-behaved kitten when he squinted his eyes quietly and smiled. Li Muran was surprised that he always associated Shen He with animals, probably because he liked him? Therefore, no matter what kind of state Shen He was in, he thought he was very pleasing to the eye.
Li Muran’s gaze showed a rare gentleness, he picked up the beef meatballs in the pot and put them into Shen He’s bowl. “Eat more if you like,”
Shen He ate so happily that he forgot about holding hands this afternoon.
After returning home in the evening, Li Muran bathed in the bathroom, and Shen He calmed down alone, so that he would think of what happened today.
There was something wrong.
It was normal for girls to go shopping with their girl-friends, and he used to see girls shopping hand in hand in the mall.
However, for two men two holding hands… Unless the father held the youngest son, even brothers rarely made such intimate movements in adulthood.
Why did Li Muran hold his hands?
It made sense to say that on the Wind and Fire Wheels, it was because he was too nervous about heights and grabbed his hand in a hurry.
But after coming down from Wind and Fire Wheel, he had been holding his hand all the time. The sequelae of fear of heights weren’t that long, right? And Li Muran’s expression at that time wasn’t nervous at all.

The more Shen He thought, the more confused he was. He simply took out his mobile phone and searched Baidu, “Is it normal for men to hold hands?” As a result, a lot of posts come out after searching.

“It’s not normal. Boys and boys usually hook up shoulder to shoulder and back to back. How can they hold hands?”
“You have to be careful, OP, your friend may have that kind of meaning to you.”
“Your friends don’t like you, right?”
“How does he treat other men? Will he hold their hand, too? If he only likes to hold your hand, congratulations, he has a crush on you.”
“Your friend is definitely crooked. Straight men don’t like to hold a big man’s hand. They all like to hold soft girls.”
After a lot of replies, the last one was the reply from the OP: “Thank you, we are together now.”
Shen He: “………”
Seeing that he was a little confused at last, all the replies in the tall building said that boys holding boys’ hands must have that tendency, and it must not be straight men’s behavior.
So, is Li Muran bent?
Does Li Muran like him?
Shen He was startled by this idea, and his cheeks turned red in an instant.
At this moment, Li Muran suddenly opened the bathroom door and walked out. He was wearing a white bathrobe with a belt around his waist, revealing a large solid chest. Just after taking a shower, his chest seemed to be covered with a layer of soft water light. Looking up again, was a beautiful Adam’s apple, a handsome face with distinct features, especially a pair of eyes that were dark and deep, as if they couldn’t be seen through. The wet hair looked a little messy, but it gave him a different kind of sexiness between youthfulness and maturity.
Shen He’s heart beat so fast that he immediately looked away and hastily picked up his mobile phone and pretended to scroll the web page with his head down.
Li Muran came over to take a look, and couldn’t help but chuckle. “Your mobile phone is upside down.”
Shen He: “…”
Red colour instantly spread to the roots of his ears, and Shen He hurriedly turned the mobile phone over and said awkwardly. “Cough, I didn’t pay attention.”
Sitting beside him, Li Muran asked, “What’s the matter? Thinking about something?”
After taking a bath, the young man was still hot and as he was nearby, which made Shen He’s body hot. He immediately moved his ass and sat down on the sofa on the other side. He explained, “I just sorted out the photos. I took a lot of photos today. I chose some good ones to send to my parents.”
Li Muran intuitively thought he had something on his mind, but he didn’t reveal it. He nodded and said, “Okay, then you can take a shower later and go to bed early after taking a shower.”
Shen He finished taking a bath at 10pm in the evening, but he didn’t go upstairs to bed until 12am.
Li Muran waited in the bedroom for a long time and found that he didn’t come, so he went to look downstairs in confusion. As a result, he saw Shen He curled up in the corner of the sofa, holding his mobile phone to browse some forums, his expression was very serious. Li Muran asked, “Are you still up?”
“Oh, I-I’ll sleep right away.” Shen He replied.
He braced himself and walked up to the second floor, bowed his head, walked into Li Muran’s bedroom, moved his steps rigidly, came to the bedside and sat down.
Li Muran glanced at his mobile phone and found that there was a post on the forum on the screen, with the headline ‘What does it mean for a man to hold hands with another man?’
Li Muran: “…”
This guy’s reflex arc was so late, both of them held hands for all afternoon, but he didn’t react until he came home at night. He began to ‘turn to any doctor he could find when critically ill’, using searching in Baidu strategy?
(T/N: try anything in crisis)
Seeing that he looked confused and stood beside him and didn’t dare to go to bed, Li Muran was amused and couldn’t help but ask, “Have you reached any conclusion after checking the forum for a long time?”
Shen He scratched his head awkwardly. “I didn’t check the forum, I just looked around.”
Li Muran pointed to the mobile phone webpage he forgot to turn off, and read. “‘What does it mean for a man to hold hands with another man?’ Are you reading this post?”
Shen He, who was caught face-to-face, immediately froze. “I-I have no other meaning…”
Li Muran stood up, looked at the red-eared guy in front of him, sighed softly, and said, “Are many people saying in replies that men generally don’t hold hands of the same sex? This behavior is not simple. If your friend takes the initiative to hold your hand, it probably means that to you.”
Shen He looked at him blankly. “How do you know what was said in the reply?”
“Because what they said is quite right.” Li Muran smiled slightly.
Shen He was still stunned and saw Li Muran’s face suddenly enlarged in front of him. The height difference between them was too big. Shen He’s head was right on Li Muran’s chest. Li Muran kissed his forehead with a slight bow.
A soft kiss landed, and then a low and gentle voice came to his ear. “I like you, Shen He.”
Shen He instantly froze like a statue.
The touch on his forehead was constantly enlarged, which made his whole face burst into flames.
Li Muran whispered, “I’m sorry, I lied to you. My brother has no habit of cleanliness, I just want to hold you to sleep together. Holding your hand in the amusement park today, fear of heights is just an excuse, in the final analysis, it is all because I like you.”
After he finished speaking, he sighed softly and said, “You can hit me now.”
Shen He: “……”
Originally, this guy made up such a poor excuse to be close to himself, so Shen He should be very angry and want to hit him very much.
However, when his clenched fist was about to hit his stomach, Shen He suddenly couldn’t do it, because Li Muran was looking at him gently and had no intention of resisting. His eyes seemed to say, ‘it doesn’t matter if you hit me or kill me.’
The other party was so frank, lenient and without resistance. If he hit him again… It didn’t seem appropriate.
Shen He stiffly withdrew his fist and said, “For-forget it. I’m not a violent person. I don’t want to hit you. I will sleep next door.”
Li Muran replied, “You sleep here. The quilt here is thicker. You are always afraid of the cold. I will go to my brother’s room to sleep.”
He quickly took his phone and turned to his brother’s room. Shen He stayed in the same place for a while, then climbed to bed and stuffed his head with a quilt.
He should have been very angry. He should have beaten him. Why was his heart suddenly softened?
No, I’m straight, so I can’t bend! Even if Li Muran is handsome and good to him, he has to resist to the end!
Shen He clenched his fist and cheered himself up, so he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
As a result, in his dream, he kept dreaming of Li Muran holding his hand and kissing his forehead, and also dreamed of many details since he met Li Muran.
For example, when he first arrived at the team dormitory, he ran barefoot in the dormitory and met Li Muran who got up in the middle of the night in the room, almost scaring each other to death.
Another example, he always lost things. When he ran out of toothpaste, shampoo and shower gel, he would take Li Muran. Li Muran didn’t mind at all and would take the initiative to go to the supermarket to buy daily necessities for him every time.
Another example, when playing a game, Li Muran would give comfort when he made a mistake, and Li Muran would give out a red envelope to encourage him if he played well.
Almost all of the WeChat chat records were red envelopes sent to him by Li Muran.
Although the money wasn’t much, every little red envelope was the best encouragement for Shen He.
Shen He dreamed vaguely. Waking up in the morning, Li Muran had already made breakfast.
He went downstairs to eat breakfast with dark circles under his eyes, but Li Muran looked calm, as if nothing happened.
In the next few days, Li Muran still dedicated himself as a tour guide, taking Shen He around Shenzhen, until the day he sent Shen He home, he didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.
At Shenzhen Airport, Li Muran carried his luggage all the way to the security checkpoint.
Shen He took the suitcase, scratched his head and said, “That…I’m leaving now, thank you for your hospitality these days.”
Li Muran replied, “You’re welcome.”
Shen He didn’t know what to say, and he was a little embarrassed for a moment.
Li Muran extended his arms, gave him a friendly hug between friends, and whispered softly in his ear. “Xiao He, I like you, but I won’t force you to like me, and I won’t do anything you hate again. Go home and have a good rest. See you after the end of the year.”
This hug was so soft and warm that Shen He had no reason to push him away.
He had to stay in place and be held by the other party. After a long time, Li Muran let go and smiled. “Go.”
Shen He’s face flushed slightly and replied, “Oh, see you.”
Then he fled, turned and flew to the security checkpoint, as if being chased by a wolf behind him.
Li Muran looked at the wind-like figure from the back and smiled slightly.
Loosen the reins only to grasp him better, he didn’t know if this trick would work on Shen Xiaohe?
Shen He didn’t have much dislike for his contact. He just hoped he could begin to understand quickly.
Shen He went home and played crazily for a while, but strangely enough, he always couldn’t help thinking of Li Muran when he was idle.
It was really strange, the more he wanted to forget it, the clearer the memory of Li Muran in his mind.
Especially since he departed from Shenzhen, Li Muran hadn’t taken the initiative to send him a message for a week. A week!
In the past, they chatted in the dormitory every day, and even when they weren’t together, they often sent WeChat messages to each other. Now, the WeChat message suddenly quieted down, and Shen He was really not used to it.
He met a lot of high school classmates and university alumni gatherings, but every time he came home and turned on his mobile phone, he couldn’t help but habitually open Li Muran’s profile picture.
He wanted to send a message to Li Muran, but he felt that since he didn’t intend to bend and Li Muran liked him, it was better not to tease him.
So he forced himself to resist the impulse to send messages to Li Muran.
It lasted until the Lunar New Year in this way.
On New Year’s Eve, Shen He and his family ate dumplings lively. When it was almost early in the morning, all the teammates in the group came out to send blessings.
Li Muran who rarely appeared in the group gave a blessing: “Everyone, Happy New Year.”
He also sent a 200 yuan red envelope for everyone to grab.
Qin Mo likes to surf in the group very much. No one could beat him to grab red envelopes. Xiao Han and Sister Hong all came out to grab red envelopes and sent blessings.
Shen He also sent one: “Everyone have a good luck New Year, wish all the best!”
Qin Mo and Xiao Han both started to give out red envelopes. After everyone grabbed the red envelopes lively for a while, the group calmed down.
Shen He opened a private chat window with Li Muran, thinking, since it was Lunar New Year, should it be okay to send a blessing?
Hesitating about what word to type, the window suddenly lit up and a message came over.
Close friend Li Muran sent 520 yuan to you, message: Happy New Year.
Shen He’s heart jumped suddenly, Didn’t 520 mean ‘I love you’? Would he take this big red envelope or not?
They hadn’t been in touch for such a long time, but he suddenly sent a red envelope. Shen He was a little flustered and hurriedly replied, “What are you doing?”
Li Muran: “Happy New Year.”
Shen He: “I mean the amount of the red envelope, why is it set to 520…”
Li Muran: “Don’t you know? I like you, and this number means I love you.”
Shen He’s cheeks were a little hot. “Ignoring me for such a long time, now suddenly sending a red envelope?”
Li Muran: “I don’t ignore you. I’m just afraid to annoy you. I want to calm each other down for a period of time. I’ll contact you when you don’t feel bothered.”
Shen He hurriedly replied: “I don’t feel bothered!”
Why feel bothered? He couldn’t wait to brag and chat with him every day. He used to accompany him in the team before and didn’t think it was special. Shen He didn’t know until he separated. Only Li Muran would listen to his boasting quietly and give himself the greatest tolerance and patience.
There were countless red envelopes in WeChat chat history…
In previous games, regardless of whether he won or lost, Li Muran always encouraged him by sending out red envelopes. The amount was small. Sometimes a few cents or a few yuan. Shen He was certainly not a greedy person. When Li Muran performed well in the game, Shen He would also send the red envelopes back.
In this way, the two newcomers encouraged each other by giving each other red envelopes and made progress together.
Looking back, being his roommate all this year, he was always confused and made mistakes, forgetting things and adding trouble to him, but he was always so tolerant and caring, and didn’t dislike his thick nerves and words at all…
Thinking of this, Shen He’s eyes suddenly turned sour.
It’s over, he wants to bend a bit.
If the other party is Li Muran, he is really a little shaken. What can he do?
As Shen He thought wildly, as a result, as soon as his finger slipped, he accepted the 520 red envelope.
Li Muran sent a smile: “You received this red envelope, which means, are you willing to try to date me?”
Shen He was stunned: “My hand slipped, it really just slipped!”
Then his head flashed and immediately sent back the 520 red envelope.
Li Muran: “You sent me a 520 yuan red envelope, meaning, you love me too?”
Shen He wanted to cry without tears: “I made a mistake and wanted to return it to you!”
Li Muran: “It doesn’t matter, anyway, you took mine and sent me one back. I’ll take it as a yes.”
Shen He: “…”
So he sold himself for a red envelope? As a result, the red envelope didn’t seem to be received either, and it was returned?
Shen He couldn’t wait to hit the wall.
But Li Muran immediately sent another sentence: “Xiao He, I miss you very much these days.”
His heart softened all of sudden…
In fact, he also missed Li Muran very much.
Alas, don’t struggle, it’s better to bend when you meet a high-quality boyfriend like Li Muran.
Shen He scratched his head, blushing, and sent a sentence: “Brother Ran, I miss you too. Muach.”
Li Muran’s mobile phone fell on the ground with a ‘bang’.
Puahahaha Muran can’t handle the loveeee~~ hahaha, awww they’re sooo cute!! Thank you for the translation!
