Chapter 25: Go back to your own bed.

A drunken Lu Xun won't go to sleep, and is even tempted to continue helping Ye Yao by giving him a unique birthday experience.

Ye Yao certainly isn't going to let Lu Xun get away with yanking the man up.

"I know you probably think this is disgusting, so don't worry," Lu Xun explained anxiously, "there's no need to help each other, it's me who's helping you unilaterally."

"That won't work either." Ye Yao coldly refused, "This kind of contact can only be done by my future partner, in your position, there is no chance."

This statement probably created some kind of psychological damage to Lu Xun, and his eyebrows slowly drew down in a sad gesture.

"Is the object much more important than me?" Lu Xun said despairingly.

Ye Yao was too lazy to pay attention to this completely drunken remark, and after leading the people to do a simple washing up, he pressed Lu Xun down onto the bed.

Lu Xun held Ye Yao's hand and tried to sleep with him as usual.

Ye Yao stood on the edge of the bed and forcibly tore the man off of himself, coldly saying to Lu Xun who still wanted to stick up, "If you make any more trouble, I'll ignore you."

Lu Xun stiffened for a moment, "Wanting to sleep with you is also a hassle?"

"Uh-huh." Ye Yao nods.

The threat of being ignored by Ye Yao was an immediate killer for Lu Xun, and his chest rose and fell a few times, his fingers stiffening as he slowly let go.

Drunk Lu Xun was not as difficult to deal with as he was sober, and Ye Yao was about to go to sleep in the other bed when he heard Lu Xun open his mouth again.

"I have a small plea." Lu Xun said.

Ye Yao turned around and saw Lu Xun lying peacefully flat on the bed, even his hands were resting on his stomach in a regular manner.

Lu Xun looked serious: "I've already listened to everything you say, and at this point, it's not too much to ask for a small reward, right?"

Ye Yao: "You said."

Lu Xun looked at Ye Yao's face, and said the reward he wanted with a straight face, "Paste it."

Ye Yao quickly understood what Lu Xun meant when he said, "You want to get in your face?"

Lu Xun nodded quickly.

It's a move that Lu Xun probably thinks is only for super friends, so he likes it a lot.

Ye Yao lowers his head to his longtime friend and crush.

To be fair, Lu Xun was really nice to him and was making friends with him with a sincere heart.

None of them are wrong, only the gender.

Ye Yao picked up the corner of his lips, "Want to learn foreign etiquette and give you another sweet kiss on the way?"

This answer was surprising to Lu Xun, who froze for a moment and nodded again.

"It's quite good to properly learn from foreign excellent culture." Lu Xun said, "You can't be stuck in your ways!"

So Ye Yao slowly bent down.

The distance between them grew closer and closer, and Ye Yao's beautiful face gradually enlarged in Lu Xun's eyes.

The curvature of the long, dark eyelashes, the soft-looking lips, the half-exaggerated but beautiful width of the eyelids, there wasn't a single place he looked at that didn't make his heart happy.

Ye Yao is going to give him a face-to-face kiss, and he's already happy before he even starts to get it.

Lu Xun's face was pinched, and Ye Yao stopped a palm's throw away from him.

Ye Yao let out a laugh, "Nice try, I'm not kissing, you have no reward."

He let go of Lu Xun's face and straightened back up, putting distance between them.

That's as far as it goes, those interactions he won't do again.

He'll try to make himself into Lu Xun's normal, ordinary best friend.

Ye Yao snapped off the lights in the room, once again silencing the restless Lu Xun with a threat, and lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

*

School will start soon after Ye Yao's birthday.

They bought back-to-school tickets and boarded the plane together to the school.

As Ye Yao expected, Lu Xun had no recollection of the events of that drunken night, and Lu Xun's attitude towards him returned to normal.

"So do you remember when I confessed to you?" Ye Yao asked while waiting in line to board the plane.

Lu Xun : "...... no."

"Unfortunately, I feel like that dare joke went too far, it should have made you quite uncomfortable, and it would be nice for you to forget about it." Ye Yao sighs, "Don't take it personally."

Lu Xun's grip on the luggage lever tightened, he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

Ye Yao was right, that dare did make him uncomfortable, and that's why he sulked and drank so much.

The shock of hearing Ye Yao's confession, and all the panic of realizing it was just a dare, turned into a void of nothingness.

All the emotions came and went too quickly, leaving him with nothing but a mood that made him very unhappy.

But of course he couldn't blame Ye Yao, Ye Yao hadn't done anything wrong, so what was the point of losing his temper at Ye Yao.

If you don't talk about this, you should not lose your temper towards Ye Yao, even if Ye Yao has done something wrong.

No, how could Ye Yao do it wrong?

Lu Xun straightened out the logic and graciously said, "Didn't take it to heart, and you shouldn't keep thinking about it."

The two of them boarded the plane without incident, and naturally they were seated next to each other, Ye Yao sitting inside by the window and Lu Xun sitting near the corridor.

He wanted to speak to Ye Yao again, but he saw Ye Yao pull a black eye patch out of the bag he was carrying.

"I didn't sleep well last night, I'll catch up on my sleep." Ye Yao says, "Either you do, I have other eye masks here."

Lu Xun keeps the desire to communicate under control as he shakes his head, taking the opportunity to sell himself, "You can lean on my shoulder if you want to sleep, otherwise it's easy to sleep uncomfortably here."

Ye Yao looks at him and pulls another U-shaped pillow out of his bag and puts it around his neck.

"No, it's too hard on you, this will do." Ye Yao pulls the blindfold down as well, covering his eyes, "Then please call me when you want to get off the plane."

Lu Xun was dumbfounded by the sequence of movements, and he didn't even have time to say something about how the U-shaped pillow didn't work, before Ye Yao's head slumped over, and he looked like he'd fallen asleep.

Lu Xun held back the words he hadn't been able to say, shutting up and letting Ye Yao rest quietly, only his heart was still confused.

When did Ye Yao bring a U-shaped pillow?

Ye Yao had never used a U-shaped pillow when he was with him before, just lean on him when he was sleepy and tired.

Could it be that he's too hard-boned to be as comfortable as the soft comfort of a U-shaped pillow for Ye Yao to dislike?

Ye Yao, why are you so polite with him?

Lu Xun speculated about various possibilities in his mind, he wanted to hold Ye Yao's hand, but Ye Yao had both hands in his pockets, and pulling his hand out would wake Ye Yao up, finally Lu Xun could only put his arm on Ye Yao's arm to relieve his feeling of not being able to talk to Ye Yao.

Ye Yao slept right up until it was time for the plane to land, and didn't make a sound the whole time.

When Lu Xun woke him up, he still looked like he hadn't woken up and said much less than usual. The two walked out of the airport and took a cab, where Ye Yao once again closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Ye Yao slept so poorly last night?

After getting off the plane Ye Yao put away the U-shaped pillow, and now his head is knocking on the car window little by little. Lu Xun tried to pull Ye Yao's direction back, but after pulling back, Ye Yao didn't lean his head on his shoulder either, but rather, his shoulder was against his shoulder, his head leaning back on the cab seat, and he just fell asleep.

There was nothing out of place in the action, it was the kind of picture that would be seen between all good friends.

The chatty middle-aged cab master saw this scene from the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "You two have a really good relationship, I've pulled several brats before, one of them fell asleep with his head knocking on the window, and the other two just laughed while recording video and taking pictures of him. If I say those young people are too rowdy, it has to be you guys who care about each other and help each other well, when you get married in the future, whoever has something going on at home for the time being, the other one can still help take care of the kids."

The cab driver was talking casually, but Lu Xun couldn't stop laughing at what he was hearing.

How can the two of them compare their relationship with other ordinary friends? How is it that when they get into a random car, the cab driver curses them to get married and have kids?

Lu Xun said with a grimace, "Well, the two of us have always had a good relationship."

Lu Xun didn't want to talk much, and this time Ye Yao didn't put his hands in his pockets, so he pulled Ye Yao's hands over and put them in his own pockets, trying to warm them up for Ye Yao.

But it wasn't long before Ye Yao started pulling his hand out.

Still looking sleepy, he said vaguely to Lu Xun, "This position is elbow to elbow, it's hard to fall asleep, leave me alone. I'm not cold, you close your eyes and rest too."

Ye Yao pulls his hand out and puts it back into his pocket, closing his eyes again.

"...... Oh good." Lu Xun replied in a low voice.

Lu Xun isn't sleepy, he's always had good energy.

Now that the lights are coming on, and the outside light is hitting Lu Xun's face through the car window, Lu Xun weakly shakes his hand.

The warmth of Ye Yao's hand seemed to remain in his palm, but in an instant it was covered by his own body heat.

Lu Xun expressionlessly looked out of the car window at the lights and traffic.

...... He hasn't been able to talk to Ye Yao much today.

This amount of talking is normal for regular friends, but it's really on the low side for them.

Ye Yao must be very tired, today's traveling and running around is too easy to make people tired, wait until tomorrow Ye Yao will be well rested, for now let Ye Yao rest well.

Lu Xun rationally analyzed, but his body still couldn't resist leaning over a bit more, and Ye Yao leaned shoulder to shoulder, leg to leg.

Just wait until Ye Yao's spirit is restored .......

*

When Ye Yao and Lu Xun returned to their dormitory, they found that the other two roommates had also returned and were checking the new class schedule for the semester.

"Ah, heavenly earth, no, how come there are so many classes!" Xiao Pang wailed and collapsed on his desk. He saw Ye Yao and the others walking to the dormitory entrance, a smile appeared on his face, "Lu Ye Zi, you guys are back!"

Ye Yao dragged his suitcase through the door and walked over to his bunk, "What's up, lots of classes?"

At the mention of this topic, Xiao Pang's smile disappeared and he began to wail again, "It's not just a lot, it's full! Look!"

Xiao Pang turns the laptop screen toward Ye Yao so that Ye Yao can see the class schedule on it.

They have a really large number of classes this semester and have very little free time.

Ye Yao The corner of her mouth hooked, realizing that something was wrong and then hurriedly put it down, followed by sighing, "Lots of classes indeed, it's going to be a busy, busy semester, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Xiao Pang lamented.

It was already quite late, Ye Yao put his suitcase away, went to the bathroom to take a shower and then came out, tapping Lu Xun sitting at his desk on the shoulder, "Did you check the class schedule, what does it look like over there this semester?"

Lu Xun just checked it out and pushed his cell phone in Ye Yao's direction so that Ye Yao could look at it together.

"We have a lot of classes this semester too." Lu Xun depressed.

Ye Yao took a look at Lu Xun's class schedule and couldn't hold back a smile.

Seeing that Ye Yao had recovered, Lu Xun immediately grabbed the time to play with Ye Yao.

"Well, gloating, right? Don't you have just as many classes, big brother doesn't laugh at second brother do you know?" Lu Xun pretended to tickle Ye Yao, but Ye Yao dodged him again. He thought of something and frowned, "Tch, so I won't have time to accompany you to class."

It's such a happy occasion for Ye Yao that he could even set off a few fireworks if he wanted to, but for now it's best to keep it on the down-low.

"No skipping class." Ye Yao warns.

Lu Xun has been with Ye Yao for so many years, and has long known that Ye Yao doesn't like people who skip classes, and he used to skip classes every day, he immediately patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, what kind of person am I that you still don't know? I like to study the most, even if you point a missile at my head and tell me to get out of the classroom, I still have to sit in the classroom and listen to the last minute of the teacher's content."

How could Ye Yao not know that Lu Xun was talking nonsense, he was going to follow Lu Xun's words and say, "Yes, I believe you will be able to do what you say, I'm most annoyed with those who skip classes, especially those who find all kinds of excuses to pretend that they have something to do, but in reality there is nothing to do, just want to dabble in other classrooms."

Lu Xun pulled a hard smile as soon as he was poked at his plan, "...... Well, you're right about everything, I would never do that anyway."

Ye Yao smiled and patted Lu Xun on the shoulder.

*

Unable to sit with Ye Yao in class, Lu Xun can only find opportunities to get closer to him in the evening.

Like sleeping with Ye Yao in your arms every day.

After changing all the sheets and covers and such, it was time to go to sleep.

Lu Xun followed his usual habit of climbing into Ye Yao's bed after getting cleaned up.

Ye Yao had left the curtains open, so Lu Xun couldn't see what was going on inside. He stepped onto the first rung of the bed ladder and was about to lift the curtain with one free hand to poke his upper body in, when an arm reached out before him.

The hand he knew all too well rested on his shoulder, not gently, but holding him down with strength to keep him from moving further up.

"Something wrong?" Ye Yao's voice came from inside.

The question shocked Lu Xun a bit as he asked back, "Can't I sleep with you if there's nothing wrong?"

"Uh, no." Ye Yao replied quickly and decisively, "Go back to your own bed."
