Chapter 23: Confess then!

Ye Yao, for crying out loud.

How can a good person be so stupid? He twisted his foot, but he didn't fall on his head.

Lu Xun is a straight man, and he knows it.

Lu Ming saw that Ye Yao didn't believe him and became anxious, pulling Ye Yao's hand and speaking faster: "What I said is true! He has a picture of the two of you on his nightstand!"

Ye Yao wasn't surprised that the bedside photo was routine for Lu Xun, but Lu Ming, the young man, clearly didn't know that.

The naïve young man was surprised by Ye Yao's calmness, and felt that Ye Yao didn't believe him at all, so he added details to increase his credibility: "It's true, and he's secretly knitting pink on it-"

After receiving the phone call, Lu Xun suddenly opened the door, seeing the scene in front of him, he was furious: "What are you pulling and tugging for? Lu Ming, let go!"

Doesn't he have any friends of his own? Why is he shaking his friend's hand?

Lu Xun took a big step forward and slapped Lu Ming's hand away, warning, "Pay attention to me, don't think that just because you're a patient you can just touch people, keep a normal social distance, understand?"

Lu Ming : "......"

Is it really true that he doesn't understand the world of straight men anymore?

Lu Ming painfully pulls the covers over his head, not looking at his straight friends who confuse him.

*

Lu Ming was injured in an accident and his plans to stay a few more days were disrupted, and he left before long.

Lu Xun was not blamed for Lu Ming's accidental fall on the ground, he held his hand and watched Lu Ming leave, and continued to enjoy his space with Ye Yao.

But Lu Xun was still haunted by the incident, fearing that Ye Yao would still want to leave.

He pulled Ye Yao's suitcase into his bedroom, looking for a few places he wasn't satisfied with, and finally he put it next to his bed, within arm's reach.

"The luggage will be on my side for now, so when you want to get something, come to me and I'll get it for you." Lu Xun said deeply.

Ye Yao watched Lu Xun toss and turn in the back, helplessly saying, "Why don't you just hold it and sleep, can I really escape with my luggage in the middle of the night, do you think you're filming the overbearing president's runaway little petite wife?"

Although Lu Xun does have a high probability of becoming a domineering president in the future, he has nothing to do with Little Stepford Wife, and is at most the best friend guy next to the domineering president.

Lu Xun immediately hit back, ''You really have studied it! With your learning ability, you've already studied the various escape routes in the TV series, right? Hehe, anyway, the luggage will be left here with me first."

Ye Yao: "......"

Great guesses, too bad they were all wrong, he wasn't even planning on running now, no guessing next time.

Lu Xun was silent for a moment, he looked at the cabinet containing the pink sweater that he had put away, and then looked at the bedside table where the group photo was placed, and spoke in a low voice, "Don't believe what he said, every pair of friends get along with each other differently, and our way of getting along with each other is very normal. I also know that in your heart you treat me as the best brother, won't others just pick a few sentences I believe, don't worry, I only believe in you."

Ye Yao gave a laugh.

He dropped his thick eyelashes and smiled, "Yes, I consider you my best friend, don't think of it as anything else to taint that friendship."

*

The pink sweater is finally finished after Lu Xun has been working on it every night without sleep or sleep.

It is now two o'clock in the middle of the night, all is quiet, everyone is resting, and Lu Xun, who has finished his labor, lets out a long breath.

He picked up the sweater and shook it, this sweater is made of top quality materials, very soft and skin-friendly, even if he wears it in the innermost part, it will not stick to the flesh, it will only be very warm and comfortable.

Instead of the deathly Barbie pink that boys usually like, Lu Xun chose a nude pink color. He could imagine that Ye Yao must look white and tender in this sweater.

Satisfied, Lu Xun folded his sweater neatly and put it away as he lay alone on his bed, starting to get a little frisky.

For this gift, he had not been able to sleep with Ye Yao for a long time, leaving Ye Yao alone and suffering.

Now that his work was finally done, it was time to sleep with Ye Yao again.

Ye Yao was probably asleep, and he would move gently so as not to wake anyone up.

Lu Xun thought so and did so, he rolled up from the bed and went straight to the next guest room. Then he twisted the doorknob a few times, but couldn't unscrew it.

Ye Yao went to bed at night and unlocked the door out of habit.

The spare key is not in Lu Xun's possession, and it's not good to go looking for the spare key in the middle of the night, possibly waking up the housekeeping staff who are already asleep.

Without hesitation, Lu Xun returned to his room and came to the balcony, jumping from the balcony of his room to the balcony of Ye Yao's room.

He pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony and dodged in silently.

The room is quiet, and Ye Yao is sunk into the soft queen-sized bed, unable to see his form.

Lu Xun gently walked inside, he walked to the bedside to look at the sleeping Ye Yao, satisfied and slowly lay down, and then slowly lifted the corner of the quilt as if he were a thief, and slowly drilled into it.

Lu Xun did his best not to wake Ye Yao, but when he put his hand on Ye Yao's waist, Ye Yao stirred.

"Hmm?" Ye Yao made a small, sleepy noise, not sounding awake.

Lu Xun was afraid of waking Ye Yao up completely, so he simply held his breath and didn't speak.

He was like a silent statue, or like someone in a dream, not speaking or moving, hidden in the darkness.

Ye Yao did not speak again, and just when Lu Xun thought that Ye Yao had fallen back into slumber, Ye Yao moved, and his entire body pressed over.

It was a very close distance, the tip of Ye Yao's nose was almost against Lu Xun's cheek, and with the rise and fall of his breath, his soft lips seemed to brush against the outline of Lu Xun's ear.

Almost instantly, half of Lu Xun's body went numb, as if he had been run over by electric current.

It wasn't as if they hadn't been this close when they slept together, but that had been Lu Xun initiating the proximity.

For the first time, Ye Yao approaches.

Ye Yao is in a daze.

The answer seemed obvious, and Lu Xun licked his lips slowly and turned his head sideways, opposite Ye Yao.

The tips of their noses touched, the air mingling between their breaths, the two so close they were on the verge of becoming one.

It was an unexperienced position for Lu Xun, an experience that not only didn't repel him in the slightest, but sent shivers of excitement down his spine.

This is ...... the intimate distance that is uniquely his, and Ye Yao would have no other friend but him who could do this.

No need for a partner, he and Ye Yao will be so good together until they grow old.

*

Ye Yao was a little confused when he woke up and saw Lu Xun.

"When did you come over?" Ye Yao asked.

"Last night," Lu Xun half squinted his eyes as he recalled last night, "I realized that I was heavily poisoned, and the thugs who poisoned me put the antidote on you, so I rushed to climb through the window in the middle of the night and found you to avert a tragedy."

"You'll die of poison." Ye Yao was expressionless.

"What a cruel heart!" Lu Xun hugged Ye Yao, who was sitting up, and buried his face in Ye Yao's stomach and legs, "I was your man in life and your ghost in death, and I will follow you even after I die la official."

Ye Yao : "......"

Lu Xun's flirty talk Ye Yao was used to, but Lu Xun's movements were beyond Ye Yao's tolerance, he slightly stiffened and pushed Lu Xun's head away, scolding, "What's the point of blindly rubbing yourself in the morning? When there's an accident, you'll be crying that I've defiled your innocence again."

Ye Yao said it subtly, but as a man, and in the early morning, how could Lu Xun not understand what Ye Yao was referring to.

His eyes rolled and he licked his lips, remembering something from earlier.

At that time, he deliberately injured himself, and Ye Yao took him to the hospital in a cab, where he also accidentally rubbed his face against Ye Yao while lying on his lap.

He didn't feel sick that time, and he didn't feel sick now in the same way.

Maybe someday he and Ye Yao could upgrade their mutual help? Not now, Ye Yao is so thin-skinned that Ye Yao would beat him to death for suggesting it and then harshly reject it.

Wait until later ...... he will be able to get closer to Ye Yao.

*

As Ye Yao's birthday approaches, Lu Xun begins to seek Ye Yao's advice, asking him what kind of party he would like, and if it will be the same as before.

Usually Ye Yao invites a few close friends to celebrate his birthday with him. After most people have left, it's time for Lu Xun and Ye Yao to be alone.

It's both lively and quiet, the kind of birthday that Ye Yao prefers, and Lu Xun likes as well.

Ye Yao sure enough chose to do the same, so Lu Xun happily contacted a few friends to prepare for the reunion.

Lu Xun contacted their friends from high school, who were not yet in school, and they agreed to celebrate Ye Yao's birthday and get together.

Before his birthday, they flew back to Ye Yao's house again.

*

Reuniting with high school friends they hadn't seen in a long time, Ye Yao and Lu Xun received a warm welcome from their friends.

The two friends weren't surprised to see Ye Yao and Lu Xun together, and both had a look on their faces that suggested they were.

"Wooooooo you guys are really still together." The rough on the outside and delicate on the inside, Generous was moved to tears, "What do you mean by confidant, this is called confidant, a confidant in the sea, the sky is far away."

"Can you talk?" Dahei slapped Dafang's back, "How is it the end of the world? This is called accompanying each other and flying together! See if Brother Lu doesn't beat you up later."

They were now gathered in a karaoke bar they used to come to several times in high school, and it was easy to touch on memories of times gone by.

"Have I ever punched anyone." Lu Xun, who had labeled himself recently as gentle and watery, raised an eyebrow and gave an amiable smile, "It's only been two years and you guys are remembering wrong, I never fight."

Others: "......"

Believe in your evil.

We have not been able to see each other for quite some time, and we have a stomach full of things to say, but we don't know where to start, so we simply follow the international custom and start with a Truth or Dare to set the mood.

They logged into a Truth or Dare game applet, then took a deck of cards and picked a few out of it to lay on the table, and whoever got the ghost card was the one who won, and had to either answer a randomly displayed Truth or Dare question in the applet, or complete the dare it assigned.

Lu Xun was honored to be the first winner, and he chose to be genuine.

Dahei read out the content of the small program on the heartfelt words: "Recently have you met any object that makes your heart flutter? Answer truthfully, no lying ah."

Ye Yao looked up at Lu Xun, who smiled at him, his handsome eyebrows deeper in the dim, flickering light, and Lu Xun's smile had a soothing quality.

"No." Lu Xun answered quickly, "That's it? It's too simple, the person who can make my heart flutter won't appear in nearly a hundred years, if you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Ye. I've made up my mind to be single and not looking for a date for the rest of my life."

Ye Yao's expression remained unchanged as he lowered his eyes and shuffled the cards around.

"Words can't be so dead ......," Generous spat in a small voice.

"Well, I'll be damned." Lu Xun says, "Okay, next hand."

The next hand drew Big Black, then Lu Xun on the next hand, then Generous.

Ye Yao, who was lucky enough to stay out of the lottery, secretly observed and realized that most of the questions displayed on the applet were about relationships.

That is, if he is drawn and chooses to be truthful, then there is a high chance that he will be asked about his feelings.

There was no point in lying in the truth session, but his secret, what he really thought about Lu Xun, Ye Yao wasn't going to tell the truth either.

Then when he gets drawn, he just picks Dare.

In the middle of the game, Lu Xun got up to go to the restroom, and the remaining two friends pulled Ye Yao into a conversation.

"Lu Xun his two years in college, really did not run into a favorite person?" Dahei spat, "He's really changed so much now compared to his high school days, just ...... not a bad change, it's the kind of hard to describe, pink bubble aura, it's hard to see me, a single dog, all over the place."

"Yeah, yeah," Dafang nodded in agreement, "Ugh, in fact, the last time Lu posted a friend circle with you and Lu trying on clothes and buying clothes, I thought that the two of you had managed to bend each other over to be together, but it turned out to be that I was overthinking it. But you guys were already sticky, it seems normal."

"Well, it's true that he's not in a relationship, he didn't lie about that one." Ye Yao didn't really want to talk about this in detail, especially about his relationship with Lu Xun, he directly digressed, "Let's start a game between the three of us, we don't have to wait for him specifically, anyway, this game is only for both of us."

Ye Yao is today's birthday boy, so naturally whatever he says goes, so in Lu Xun's absence, they begin a new round of Truth or Dare.

With three people and a one-in-three chance, Ye Yao finally wins the lottery and draws a ghost card.

"Truthfulness?" Big Black was going to click on the Truthfulness interface out of habit.

"No," Ye Yao answered quickly and surely, "Dare."

"Hey? Ye Zi you actually chose Dare, fine, I'll tap it for you." Big Black tapped on the small program, and after the random results came out, his two thick black eyebrows flew up to the sky.

"What is it?" Ye Yao wondered.

Big Black slowly turned the cell phone screen in Ye Yao's direction so that Ye Yao could read the words on it clearly.

[Confess to the first person who walks into this room in five minutes].

Big Black was stunned, "It's not like we called a waiter, so the only people who would walk in within five minutes would be ...... of course."

Of course only Lu Xun who went to the restroom and counted the time and should be back soon.

And Lu Xun had always been disgusted by a man who played that kind of joke on him.

"Yeah, exciting! Now that's a real dare!" On the other side of the room, Generous Happy raised his hands and swayed, "Confession, confession!"

The lights drifted along with the music, Ye Yao's face flickered, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his cheeks as he stared silently at the line of black letters on his cell phone.

"In fact, if it was someone else who drew to confess to Lu, I would definitely say that the disk is null and void. But the person who drew it was Ye Zi you, at least Brother Lu definitely won't beat you up, and we can also see his reaction, how interesting." Da Fang was excited.

Ye Yao smiled suddenly, and the lights in the booth flickered on and off, like bright stars scattered in his eyes.

This is probably the only chance he'll ever have to bare his soul to Lu Xun.

Even if it's cloaked in a dare.

"Yeah, how fun." Ye Yao whispers softly, "It's not real anyway, so let's confess."
