Chapter 5: What's running, I'll help you

Revenge and juggle the rogues back?

What's the trick, a snuggle and a kiss to Lu Xun?

To make a move on your crush in the open, and the other person even cooperates, is this the plot of some weird little movie?

Ye Yao's eyes drifted for a moment, and as he locked eyes with Lu Xun, he could see the indulgence within.

"How about it?" Lu Xun was still teasing Ye Yao unknowingly, "Coming or not?"

"Wow..."

Splashing, a large handful of water was scooped up from the pool and thrown onto Lu Xun's face and body, Lu Xun was caught off guard and let go of Ye Yao's face to take two steps backward.

Ye Yao controlled himself with a mocking smile: "Heh."

"Good Ye Yao, sneak attack?" Lu Xun took a big step into the bathtub, pinned Ye Yao's neck with the crook of his arm and leaned in, "Water fight huh, come show me what you can do!"

Ye Yao pushed Lu Xun away from him, and at the same time, he was caught off guard when his foot slipped and he sank into the pool.

Before he could react, he was scooped up by a large hand pressed against his back.

"Is everything okay?" Lu Xun, who was in front of him, came over with a frown, "Let me see."

Seeing that the distance was about to be too close, Ye Yao hurriedly put his hand against it to prevent Lu Xun from getting any closer.

"What could be the matter, this is not a bone pool," Ye Yao wiped the water off his face while trying to find a way to divert Lu Xun's attention from him. His eyes quickly locked onto a wooden crib near him, and asked Lu Xun, "The furnishings here are quite different from what I imagined, why would there be beds in a bathhouse for people who have fainted from the bath to rest?"

Lu Xun's eyes shifted away as Ye Yao wished, and he glanced at the crib, the corners of his mouth curving upwards before forcing them down, and finally couldn't keep his face paralyzed, so he could only twist his head and try to laugh a few times without making a sound.

That's not a bed for resting, that's a bed for scrubbing, and it seems that his Ye Yao classmate, knows nothing about what's about to happen.

It's great that the country is so vast and the regional customs are so different.

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Yao was puzzled.

Lu Xun's answer to Ye Yao's question was irrelevant: "Can I rub it for you later?"

Ye Yao keeps a wary eye: "A back rub will do."

Lu Xun full of classmates friendly love a smile: "Don't worry, all listen to you, I you still don't worry."

When Ye Yao gets laid, he'll decide where to rub. Front and back, let him have his way.

Lu Xun adjusted his position, leaning side by side with Ye Yao against the pool wall. Out of the corner of his eye, he could easily spot Ye Yao's silhouette, and even if he didn't talk, just being in a space made him feel cozy from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Xun took Ye Yao's hand and held it as usual, while his other hand played with Ye Yao's fingers one by one, circling and releasing them.

Ye Yao was happy to see Lu Xun put his attention on his hands instead of his body, and waited for some time before this drew his hand back.

"That's about it," Ye Yao said, "We'll go back after rubbing each other's backs."

Lu Xun was suddenly energized!

He stepped out of the water in a single bound and walked over to the crib, making a motion of invitation to Ye Yao.

"Your very own mechanic Lu is at your service," Lu Xun said in a deep voice, "Please lie back up."

Lu Xun's series of movements caught Ye Yao off guard, his hand that was about to reach for the towel froze in mid-air, and he didn't even have the time to care that Lu Xun was just grinning broadly in front of him, placing his gaze, which was about to freeze, onto the cot, which was only big enough for one person to lie on.

There was something that wasn't quite what he expected.

Here's a mutual back rub, actually not two people sitting on a small bench, the lower half of the body well around the towel, harmony and friendship only show a back rub, why lying ah?

Ye Yao thought fast, combined with the situation at hand, and in a split second realized what a real scrub was.

"Suddenly remembered that I have some urgent matters that I haven't dealt with, so I'm leaving first." Ye Yao came out of the pool and went straight to the place where he put his clothes, but was stopped halfway.

Lu Xun had a friendly smile on his face, "Squad Leader, going back on your word is bad behavior, it makes people lose trust, that's what you told me before, remember."

"I'm very sorry about this." Ye Yao tried to break Lu Xun's hand away, "But Ye Yao, who promised you a rubdown together, has rested, and I'm his second personality, so you'll rubdown with Master Gram tomorrow."

"...... Grass." Lu Xun didn't hold back his laughter, and then with a force in his hand, he lifted the one meter eight Ye Yao up in the air and carried her to the cot.

Without the water as a cover, the world above the water is so clear.

Ye Yao stiffened with difficulty and cast his eyes over Lu Xun's shoulder and behind Lu Xun.

Lu Xun's hands are really hot, even hotter after soaking in hot water.

Lu Xun was going to go straight up and get Ye Yao ready to rub, but Ye Yao's tightness clearly indicated Ye Yao's uneasiness.

Lu Xun thought about it and sat down beside Ye Yao, while withdrawing the hand that was on Ye Yao's body and resting it on his lap in a disciplined manner.

Ye Yao breathed a sigh of relief that was visible to the naked eye.

"Why are you still so uncomfortable with me?" Lu Xun asked softly.

"Not too used to it." Ye Yao said.

"Just because you're not used to it?" Lu Xun turned his head, his dark eyes that could easily create a sense of oppression when staring at someone because of the narrow shape of his eyes looking firmly at Ye Yao, but he quickly laughed, dispelling that sense of oppression.

Lu Xun's voice was still low and gentle when he spoke to him, but his eyes were a bit dangerous: "Do you know why I want to take a bath with you to deepen our relationship? Your recent attitude towards me is a bit strange, is it because you have other friends and don't want to get along with me?"

Ye Yao's heart jumped.

He didn't expect that Lu Xun, who usually had a big grin, was so sharp in this aspect, he was already very cautious, and thought that he didn't reveal anything, but he was still noticed by Lu Xun a little bit.

"Nonsense, when did I not want to be with you." Ye Yao steadied himself, "And where's the weird attitude, why don't I know?"

Lu Xun seemed like he was waiting for these words, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, "You still have the nerve to say that, you have to hesitate to take a sip of my water, and you have to turn your back to me when you sleep at night, my heart has been broken by you, so tell me how to make up for it?"

"......" Ye Yao, "What do you want?"

Lu Xun hugged his arms, "What do you think, I'm not here to deepen my relationship with you?"

Ye Yao was silent, Lu Xun didn't push him, and gave Ye Yao enough time to prepare. In the end, Ye Yao sighed and slowly lay down a little.

Lu Xun felt that his heart was melted by Ye Yao's cuteness, and the corners of his mouth lifted up as well.

Ye Yao was familiar with Lu Xun and immediately realized that something was wrong: "Are you digging a trap for me here?"

"How can I Ye student, am I such a person?" Lu Xun laughed as he pushed Ye Yao down, the sadness he had just seen in his smile, "You lie down, I'll start now."

*

Young Master Lu did the most common labor, but was content.

He loves being with Ye Yao.

As long as he can be with Ye Yao, whether it's reading and writing assignments, which he originally disliked, or helping Ye Yao with various things, he loves it.

In the past, he wouldn't have worked and served for someone else, but if that someone was Ye Yao, then yes, he'd be willing to do whatever he had to do.

*

Northern scrubs are really not easy for southerners to get used to.

Ye Yao encountered a predictable and embarrassing problem for him.

It's an issue that should never be discovered by some homophobic man.

Ye Yao : "......"

The only way out of this is to transfer the tiger to the other side.

"Lu Xun, go get my cell phone." Ye Yao's tone was as usual, "I suddenly remembered that I forgot to reply to a message."

The cell phone is on the other side, and when Lu Xun leaves, he runs away immediately.

"Okay, you take this bath towel and cover it first." Lu Xun answered down and covered Ye Yao from head to toe with the oversized bath towel.

Lu Xun footsteps away.

Ye Yao made a quick decision to get up and get off the floor, and at the same time brought the towel that was blocking his view.

Then he saw ...... Lu Xun, who should have already gone to help him get his things, standing in place and looking at him with a smile.

"You think I didn't notice?" Lu Xun hooked his lips, "Run for what?"
