Chapter 18: Deadline to stay away

"You ......" Ye Yao felt that everything was as unreal as a dream, he reached out and pinched Lu Xun, watching Lu Xun grimace before he dared to believe that it was all true, "Why are you here? "

"You ask, of course I flew here because I missed you," Lu Xun said smugly as he let go of the man a bit, "I purposely caught a six o'clock flight this morning."

The 6:00 a.m. flight meant getting up even earlier, and Lu Xun was inevitably a little tired, but that was nothing compared to the joy of seeing Ye Yao even earlier.

Seeing Ye Yao standing in front of him, Lu Xun's heart, which had been empty since the moment of separation, was once again filled, and he held Ye Yao's hand and asked again, "Did you miss me?"

"...... Uh-huh." Ye Yao replied softly.

The smile on Lu Xun's face couldn't be suppressed, after not seeing him for so long, he wanted to hug Ye Yao and not let go of him, just lying on the bed together, talking. Or not lying down is fine, he sat on a chair, Ye Yao sat on his lap, the two people face to face to talk and communicate, think about it is very cozy.

Lu Xun only dared to think about it now, as he put his arm around Ye Yao's shoulder all the way to buy vinegar, and then followed Ye Yao home again.

Lu Xun pressed the elevator number of Ye Yao's floor and then rang Ye Yao's doorbell in a very skillful manner.

When Ye Yao's mom and dad opened the door, Lu Xun turned into an understanding and sweet-talking junior, making the two elders smile, and then took out the prepared specialties from his backpack and handed them over.

It wasn't anything so expensive that people were afraid to take it, but it showed the thought.

"You child, just come, what gifts are you bringing?" Ye Yao's mom smiled and took the things, pushing Ye Yao's dad to go with her to the kitchen to prepare the food while saying to Ye Yao, "Yao Yao, you take Xiao Lu to sit and have a snack to pad your stomachs, and mom will call you when it's time to eat."

Ye Yao poured Lu Xun a glass of water and asked him, "Watching TV?"

"What a silly thing to say, I'm not here to watch TV." Lu Xun couldn't wait to bring Ye Yao towards the bedroom room, the two of them went in, the door closed, and Lu Xun finally got his wish to hold the person in a full frontal embrace.

With his high nose against Ye Yao's snow-white neck, smelling the scent that belonged to Ye Yao alone, Lu Xun said contentedly, "I came to see you."

Ye Yao didn't let Lu Xun hold him for long, reaching out to push him away, "Sticky."

His eyes swept over the backpack Lu Xun was carrying on his shoulder, and he tentatively opened his mouth to inquire, "Bringing so little luggage, are you leaving in a couple of days?"

Lu Xun did not pull the suitcase, carrying only a bag, before the bag out of the specialties, it can be imagined that it does not contain much clothing.

"No, don't I have clothes here, I don't need to take so many."

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Lu Xun was shocked when he looked at it.

What about his group photos, his books, his model robots, the little dolls he handmade for Ye Yao?

The room was as clean and tidy as ever, except that nothing here seemed to have anything to do with him anymore.

Lu Xun was vaguely aware that something was wrong, and he took a big step to the closet and opened it.

His clothes were supposed to be mixed with Ye Yao's in the closet, but now they were all Ye Yao's and none of his.

Lu Xun's hand holding the closet door tensed as he slowly turned back, his eyes dark and devoid of light. Lu Xun's eyes were a little scary when he wasn't smiling, he suppressed the bad emotion in his voice and asked, "Ye, where are my clothes?"

Ye Yao sits down in his chair, and in contrast to Lu Xun, his face has no obvious mood swings, and he looks very calm.

"Put it away." Ye Yao said, "Who knew you'd come back?"

"Why wouldn't I come over, of course I would!" Lu Xun anxiously searched for the things that Ye Yao had put away, his intuition came into play at this point and stared at the topmost compartment.

He jumped upwards and breathed a small sigh of relief when he saw the clothes that belonged to him.

Luckily, it wasn't thrown away by Ye Yao, so the rest of the stuff should just be put away as well.

Lu Xun reached out and took down his own clothes, laying them one by one with Ye Yao's, and by the time he was done with it, his heart was finally a little more comfortable.

Lu Xun asked again, "What about the rest?"

Ye Yao lifted his thin eyelids to meet Lu Xun's eyes and asked nonchalantly, "What other?"

"I'm something else." Lu Xun frowned.

"I can't use them anyway, so I'll just put them away, and you'll take them home?" Ye Yao said, "Then I'll mail them back to you then."

These conversations seemed to be going nowhere, but they made Lu Xun feel uneasy.

How can his stuff be so clearly separated from Ye Yao's stuff, when their stuff is supposed to fit together, how can Ye Yao's be Ye Yao's and his be his?

Lu Xun was not the kind of person who would take it out on Ye Yao whenever he was upset, he pulled the other chair in the bedroom to Ye Yao's side, sat shoulder to shoulder with Ye Yao and asked in a low voice, "Did I come over without permission and upset you?"

Ye Yao didn't say anything, he looked down at Lu Xun's hand which was placed on his lap and unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Lu Xun Nervousness does that, especially whenever he feels like he's upsetting him.

Young Master Lu seldom cares about anything, let alone gets nervous about anything, but Lu Xun's mood swings are obvious whenever things concern him.

"No," Ye Yao eventually sighed softly as he looked at Lu Xun and smiled, "I'm glad."

Ye Yao's mom called them outside, Ye Yao stood up and patted Lu Xun's shoulder, "We're friends, don't think so much. Let's go out to eat, I've prepared your favorite dumplings stuffed with pork and corn, when you're done you can take a break or go out for a stroll with me."

After lunch, Lu Xun didn't choose to take a break. If he took a break as soon as he arrived, wouldn't the time he could see Ye Yao be reduced by several hours? Of course, it would be better to go out together.

This small city is full of foreigners, and once the Chinese New Year comes around, it's extraordinarily quiet, and there aren't any big entertainment facilities.

Lu Xun and Ye Yao walked side by side, chatting as they strolled to the high school they had attended.

The school gate is open, Lu Xun looked up at the school gate that nothing is hanging, dissatisfied: "Warmly celebrate our school Ye Yao students become the top student of the college entrance examination banner how to take down, the school leadership really do not know how to do things, without this sign who will come to him here to study?"

"Just blow it almost," Ye Yao said breathlessly, "who hangs a banner for years."

"If I ran this school, I'd carve this whole thing into the entrance to the school, and I couldn't even pick it off." Lu Xun said seriously.

Ye Yao: "......"

Lu Xun's gaze moves away from the school entrance to the small stores near the school.

None of these stores were open due to the lack of students over winter break and the fact that it was Chinese New Year.

"The milk tea store you worked at before wasn't open." Lu Xun said.

"It's definitely closed during winter break," Ye Yao wasn't surprised, "or the utilities and materials would be another expense."

Lu Xun looked at the storefront of the milk tea store, recalling the beginning, eyes a little sour, slowly and quietly held Ye Yao's hand.

When Ye Yao's family fell ill and the family was in financial difficulty, Ye Yao had to work to supplement his income while studying intensely.

The heavy pressure did not make Ye Yao cynical, but still maintained the virtue of helping people, whether it was to help him at the beginning, or later on to help him in his studies, and many, many, are all remembered in his heart one piece at a time.

Creatures of darkness are attracted to light, and he hadn't become an exception.

If it wasn't for Ye Yao, he wouldn't be the Lu Xun he is now.

Who is he to have such a friend?

He made a secret vow in high school to be with Ye Yao for the rest of his life. To this day that thought has never waned, but has grown stronger.

I want to see Ye Yao with my eyes open, and I want to see Ye Yao with my eyes closed. If I can't see Ye Yao one day, it will be the beginning of a nightmare.

Ye Yao didn't have so many feelings, he didn't bring Lu Xun out to reminisce about the past, or even just to play with Lu Xun, he had his own purpose.

"It's not good to not be with your family on New Year's Eve, when are you planning to go back?" Ye Yao asked.

"Depends on your mood." Lu Xun said, however his next sentence was, "I don't intend to go back by myself, I want to take you back with me, didn't you say you haven't seen the snow in Spring Festival, let's see it together."

Ye Yao gave an impish laugh, "What if I don't want to come to your house?"

Lu Xun didn't hesitate to answer, "Then I won't go back and spend all the time with you at home."

"Oh." Ye Yao drew back his hand and stuffed it into his pocket, with a smile on his face, "You've made up your mind to follow me around this winter vacation, haven't you."

"Of course, the last few days of winter break are your birthday, so I'm definitely going to spend it with you, and then we'll go back to school together." Lu Xun said.

Ye Yao had forgotten about it, and he opened his cell phone to look at the calendar and realized that it was true.

When he found this out, Ye Yao realized that there was no way for him to drive Lu Xun away, and that unless he tore his face off, Lu Xun would definitely follow him.

And with everyone relaxing during winter break, it's inconvenient to have every excuse to stay away like you do during school hours.

...... will be inseparable from Lu Xun for the rest of winter break, how long will he last?

He's not a perfect actor, and one day he's going to show his hand.

Instead ...... of being forced to break down his defense little by little and letting Lu Xun find out his secret, it s better to be quick and easy.

That way, they can still be regular friends later.

It's a shame they've come to this anyway.

Ye Yao made a certain decision in his mind, and his heart plummeted with relief. He relaxed his brow and smiled at Lu Xun, "Fine, then we'll spend it together."

Ye Yao originally good-looking, red lips and white teeth, release a smile, is countless people's hearts and minds stunning and tender throughout the years of the teenager.

Lu Xun stared blankly, flicked his eyes away, and put his hand on Ye Yao's shoulder again.

Ye Yao quietly made plans to take the winter vacation as a boundary and alienate Lu Xun after the start of the school year.

In this period of time before the beginning of the school year ...... he also has selfishness, are going to stay away from, of course, want to leave a memorial at the end.

Since Lu Xun wanted to get closer to him by all means, why wouldn't he do the same?

For the last month, he didn't want to repress himself. Even his thoughts were a lot clearer after deciding to let it go, and he didn't have to worry too much about revealing himself, what with all the straight behavior, if he was bold enough, he was straight too, wasn't he?
