“What are you staring into space for? Done with unpacking?” Ren Jian said, walking up to Yu Qinghuan.
This jolted Yu Qinghuan out of his daze, so much so that he dropped the clothes he was holding.
Ren Jian was surprised. “Did I scare you?”
“N-no.” Yu Qinghuan murmured nearly incoherently, reached down to pick up the clothes, and put them in the wardrobe, eyes always returning to that inner drawer—he already quietly put away the medical record and box back.
Ren Jian asked again, “Do you want me to help you move the boxes in?”
“Box? What box?” Yu Qinghuan looked disoriented and took a long time to figure it out. “Oh yes, those boxes.”
“What is the matter with you?” Out of nowhere, Ren Jian started to feel flustered, thinking that Yu Qinghuan might have heard his phone conversation.
But he did not say anything out of the ordinary, even if he was overheard, Yu Qinghuan should not be able to piece together that he was the topic of the phone conversation…
As Ren Jian was confused about the situation, Yu Qinghuan over there was fighting an internal war between good and evil, looking obviously upset. Unbeknownst to him, he was clutching tightly to his clothes. In the end, he really could not hide this secret and blurted out, “Ren Jian, I accidentally opened that drawer when I was putting away my clothes.”

Afterward, Yu Qinghuan pointed to the inner drawer of the wardrobe with his trembling finger.

Yu Qinghuan kept his silence, not knowing what he should be saying, instead, he had been watching for Ren Jian’s reactions in the corner of his eyes.
After a period of unbearable silence, Ren Jian slowly closed the drawer and turned to look at Yu Qinghuan.
Yu Qinghuan saw calmness in the other’s eyes.
The intense calmness even looked a little out of place, like an icebound lake, where even throwing a stone could not cause any ripples, but the surface was cracked like a broken mirror.
Ren Jian lowered his head and said, “I understand if you do not want to move in anymore. I am sorry for hiding my sexual orientation. I should have told you sooner…”
“Ren Jian!” Yu Qinghuan suddenly went frantic. He took a step closer to Ren Jian and grabbed his wrist.
This really startled Ren Jian as he unconsciously took a half step back.
Yu Qinghuan almost shouted, “Homosexuality is not a disorder! And you do not have to say sorry to anyone! If anyone had targeted you with this, he must be jealous of your good looks.”
“Jealous…jealous of my good looks?” Ren Jian was dumbfounded.
Why does Yu Qinghuan never play by the rules?
“That is right!” Yu Qinghuan confirmed firmly, “He is jealous of your handsomeness, your good figure, your ability and your kindness!”
“Hold up a second, where did you get kindness from…” Ren Jian tried to interject and clarified the situation.
“There is more!” Yu Qinghuan’s voice directly overpowered that of Ren Jian, “The so-called corrective treatment and what not are a fucking scam!”
“All right, all right, I already know that. Take a deep breath.” Ren Jian soothed Yu Qinghuan, in complete bewilderment.
What on Earth was happening? Usually, when he came out of the closet to someone, was it not always the other person soothing him? How come it was he who soothed the other person this time?
Yu Qinghuan calmed down a little, exhaled and asked cautiously, “Was it your parents the one who asked you to go?”
Ren Jian shook his head. “No, this decision was my own back then.”
Seeing that Yu Qinghuan was getting agitated again, Ren Jian hurriedly urged, “No need to fuss over it anymore, I have accepted my sexual orientation now. I went to that institution during my senior high school, it was many years ago. Can you let go of my wrist before I explain myself?”
“Ah…sorry, then…” Yu Qinghuan quickly released Ren Jian’s hand and saw that there were already deep hand prints around his wrist.
Ren Jian shook his hands indifferently. “I did not expect for you to get more work up than I did.”
“Because I think you are a very kind person, I do not want you to…” Before Yu Qinghuan could finish, Ren Jian interrupted with a chuckle. “So eager to give me a nice guy card?”
“That’s not it…” Yu Qinghuan panicked.
Ren Jian continued with a smile, “I was just teasing. But really, there is no need for you to fear. Because after six months of corrective treatment at that institution, I developed a sequela that makes me very nauseous whenever someone touches me above my elbow for longer than five seconds. That is why I will not do anything to you. Besides, what should I go after a straight guy, since in the end, the one coming out hurt would be me.”
“You…you have a problem like that?” Yu Qinghuan was surprised.
“Yes, do you not believe me? Why don’t you get first-hand experience?” Ren Jian cracked a joke while opening his arms.
My heart melts from these two precious beans 🫠 I hope everyone can be as open minded and supportive as YQ.
Thank you so much for this chapter, Teo. 🤍
YW was very enthusiastic about defending RJ’s right to be gay. I wonder what previous experiences he has in order to so passionately express that he is an ally. And he is also aware that conversion treatment is a scam. Hmmmm
Corrective treatment of homosexuality is a sin and it should disappear all over the world once and for all
Thank you very much for the translation 💙💙💙💙
That was a really great reaction! Love our little two bbus!
