Chapter 8: Ye Yao on a date!
When Ye Yao came back from buying lemonade, Lu Xun looked like he was back to his normal self, which was a big relief for him.
Ye Yao tries to take the shopping bag from Lu Xun's hand, but Lu Xun refuses to let him carry it. At the same time, Lu Xun has to carry lemonade and stick with Ye Yao, so he wants to grow three hands.
Finally, Lu Xun walked back with a shopping bag and lemonade in one hand and Ye Yao's shoulder in the other.
"I should do something relaxing and entertaining tonight to comfort my broken heart." Lu Xun said.
"Uh-huh." Ye Yao has been able to respond to Lu Xun's homophobia without revealing himself, "Playing games?"
"What's the point of games if you don't play them." Lu Xun laughed a little.
The two of them were already close enough, when Lu Xun suddenly tilted his head and pressed his lips against Ye Yao's ear, and a wisp of hot air drilled into Ye Yao's ear.
Ye Yao heard Lu Xun's voice with laughter and anticipation, "Help each other out with me?"
The air currents as he spoke blew on Ye Yao's ears, bringing a tickling sensation which traveled into Ye Yao's ears, into his heart, and tickled the very tip of his heart.
Lu Xun still seemed eager to engage him in all sorts of physical interactions that would express camaraderie, and while he used to suspect that Lu Xun was deep in the closet, he now knew that Lu Xun was just too straight to think that way.
Ye Yao wasn't about to indulge his desires, he lowered his eyes, "But I'm a little tired."
"Forget it then." Lu Xun, not doubting, stroked the back of Ye Yao's neck, "You go back and take a shower and rest, and I'll see what quiet won't disturb your entertainment alright."

When Ye Yao got out of the shower, he saw a WeChat voice from his mom.
Ye Yao's mom's voice was gentle: [Yao Yao, isn't the weather getting colder over there? Pay more attention to dressing warmly, don't catch a cold.
Ye Yao's brows softened: [Yes, mom, you don't have to worry, I'm doing fine over here].
Mom quickly replied to the message: [After buying the clothes is there enough money for living expenses? If you don't have enough, tell your family, and mom will give you money. The family is now in good condition, no need to save money for the family.
Ye Yao's got a scholarship in hand, so he's still got money to live on, but why does his mom know he went out clothes shopping today?
Ye Yao was puzzled and asked the question in response to his family's concern.
His mom smiled: [Xiao Lu has posted pictures in his circle of friends, don't you know?
Ye Yao : "......?"
What circle of friends? Doesn't Lu Xun not send circles of friends?
What happened while he was in the shower?
Ye Yao, after talking to his mom, quickly opened his friend circle and found that the first item in the circle was Lu Xun's new content.
Lu Xun posted a picture of him and Lu Xun wearing the same new clothes, he was standing half a step in front of Lu Xun and was holding a black jumper and comparing it to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun's image as a cool guy when he's out and about is still in full effect, with only two words: [Shopping].
Ye Yao I don't know if it's because of the reason why his sexual orientation has changed now, but this picture is so wrong how he looks at it. He always felt that when people who didn't know what was going on saw it, they would think it looked like the daily routine of a young couple after they got together. Even due to Lu Xun's temperament and looks, there is a hint of a bizarre domineering president accompanying his lover to shop and dote on him.
Calm down, what a mess he's thinking.
But is this kind of photo something you can post to your friends and not block your elders?
They're already too close and now they're posting this kind of photo, will Lu Xun's mom and dad really not get the wrong idea about their relationship?
Ye Yao looked up at Lu Xun, who was lying on the bed, happily poking and prodding at his cell phone with a smile on his face.
Ye Yao slowly pulled the picture down, while praying in his heart that Lu Xun's mom and dad, who were both busy people, hadn't noticed Lu Xun's friend circle just recently.
As you scroll down to the bottom of the picture, Ye Yao can see a whole bunch of likes, from high school friends to their college roommates.
Everyone expressed shock and delight at Lu Xun's friend circle.
[Is this an official announcement?
[Sugar up sugar up sugar up sisters! I can't believe there's a follow up to my CP, they're still so good!
[Lu came out to show off his daily routine with his wife, I'm sour, I want a wife too.]
Ye Yao was relieved not to find Lu Xun's mom and dad in the likes. Lu Xun basically didn't reply to the messages, and the few friends who were close to him only got Lu Xun's cool-guy replies.
But when replying to someone's message, Lu Xun's attitude suddenly changed.
Ye Yao's mom: [Xiao Lu is still very handsome, the weather is getting cold, take care of yourself. Ye Yao, that kid gets sick easily in winter, so I might have to ask you to take care of him.
Lu Xun: [Auntie, please don't worry and leave Ye Yao to me, I will take good care of him.]
Ye Yao's mom replied with a relieved smile.
Ye Yao: "......"
"Lu Xun, aren't you entertaining tonight?" Ye Yao spoke with a headache.
Lu Xun, who was lying on the bed, put down his phone and looked over, puzzled, "Don't you think that posting friends is a civilized and harmonious form of entertainment?"
Ye Yao has reservations about this amazing form of entertainment not expressing an opinion, just trying to be as objective as possible.
"Your parents seem to be able to see your messages to my mom," Ye Yao said, "Why don't you delete them first?"
When Lu Xun, a rebellious teenager, corrected his attitude and made a strong effort to study hard, and finally got into the university, Lu Xun's parents can be said to be joyful, identified the son's change is his credit, invited them to dinner, not to mention the family's WeChat are also added.
"Delete? Why did you delete it?" Lu Xun furrowed his handsome eyebrows as he picked up his phone and took another look at the content of his reply, "My reply should still be decent, right?"
Lu Xun often did things without caring about other people's eyes, and Ye Yao had to break the reason down and tell him, "I don't know if you've noticed that the wording is a bit strange? This will easily make your parents misunderstand and think that the two of us are together privately, just hiding it from them and pretending to be friends in name only."
Ye Yao paused for a moment, Lu Xun's family is very big, according to the bloody plots in various TV dramas or real-life interviews, when the parents find out that their son is gay, they will do their best to separate them and steer their son back to the right track?
Before he could continue explaining, Lu Xun refreshed his friend circle and raised an eyebrow, "They've already seen it."
Ye Yao's heartbeat stopped for a beat straight away, and he stiffened as he refreshed and saw the two added replies, from Lu Xun's mom and dad.
Lu Xun Dad: [Heh, Ye Yao's aesthetics are much better than yours.]
Lu Xun :【Heh, why do I need you to tell me that?
Lu Xun's mom: [It's been a while, but Ye Yao is getting more and more handsome.]
Lu Xun: [I think so too.]
Lu Xun put the phone back down and smiled at Ye Yao, soothingly, "Don't worry, they love you."
Ye Yao wooden face, "...... Oh."
Is he the one who doesn't understand the heterosexual world anymore, when he's been a straight man for almost twenty years before?
It was true that he was too sensitive and over-anxious, this was not even a thing, in the eyes of his parents' generation, a good brother was like this, right?
Lying down Lu Xun sat up, he didn't care about a lot of things and didn't care about other people's emotions, but Ye Yao was that exception.
He doesn't want Ye Yao to worry about it.
"I don't want to hide how we really get along from anyone," Lu Xun dropped his head from the top bunk to let their gazes meet and he looked into Ye Yao's eyes, "If they get the wrong idea or hold it against you because of this... ...I'll always be on your side."
Ye Yao, with a complicated mood, averted his eyes and said softly, "Well, I know."
*
The incident seemed to pass, the chill of fall dispersing the heat of summer, the bright green leaves becoming yellow in a short time.
This day is Sunday, the heating is not yet open and the day is cold, Ye Yao has nothing to do when he likes to lie down and nestle in the warm quilt, even if it is a nap can also sleep very well.
Everything was great, and it would have been even better if some guy hadn't insisted on squeezing into a single bed with him.
A faint vibration came from his cell phone, someone should have sent him a message. Ye Yao reached out and hooked the phone over to him, his meager sleepiness disappearing instantly when he saw the name of the person who sent the message - Lu Xun's mom had approached him.
Ye Yao, do you have a minute? Auntie has something she wants to talk to you about.
Ye Yao's fingertips on his cell phone were tense and white, and beside him, Lu Xun opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, one of my classmates approached me about homework, go back to sleep."
Ye Yao made an excuse to bolt, got out of bed and came into the unoccupied washroom, and started replying to Lu Xun's mom's messages.
He had met Lu Xun's mom several times. Lu Xun's mom was beautiful and elegant, and her speech was very intellectual. In any case, looking at this mom, it's completely unimaginable to have such a rebellious and disobedient son like Lu Xun.
Lu Xun's mom's message came back quickly, this time she sent a voice.
Ye Yao adjusted the volume and then clicked on it, hearing Lu Xun's mom's voice with some embarrassment, "Ye Yao, it's like this, Auntie has a friend who has a daughter who also attends your school, one year younger than you, and she's only a freshman this year."
Ye Yao froze, and many dog blood clips already flashed uncontrollably in his mind.
For example, Lu Xun's mom took a check to him and said, "Here's $50 million, leave my son."
For example, Lu Xun's family needs a business marriage, but because he is afraid that Lu Xun is unwilling, he is asked to be the lobbyist to bring Lu Xun and the girl together. In the end, under his efforts, Lu Xun entered the marriage hall, and he was the smiling best man at the wedding.
It's true that as Lu Xun's mom, she can't just stand by and watch her son dating a friend of the same sex.
Ye Yao pursed his lips and tapped on Lu Xun's mom's next voice.
Lu Xun mom's voice sounded more difficult: "That is ...... is, that girl said quite like you, want to talk to you, want to add you a WeChat, you see willing or not?"
Ye Yao: "?"
"That child is more lively, and said that he will wait for you in your school milk tea store this afternoon and treat you to afternoon tea, if you don't want to, auntie will help you to reject it."
Ye Yao didn't intend to have a girlfriend, but he knew that it was easy to hurt a girl's self-esteem by rejecting her like that, so he thought about it and decided to make a trip over there in person to clear things up.
With a little doubt, Ye Yao inquired, [I thought Auntie would tell Lu Xun what happened, and then have Lu Xun relay it to me?
Lu Xun's mom sighed: [If you tell him, you'll probably never know this news.]
After all, her son, who will only cut off all the peach blossoms around Ye Yao, is really worrying.
Ordinary people can t stand such an overbearing friendship, and I am really afraid that one day ...... this friendship will be made to die by Lu Xun.
Lu Xun's mom put down her cell phone and said to Lu Xun's dad next to her, "Your son is also too abnormal, so pestering others Ye Yao, Ye Yao won't be annoyed?"
"Also your son." Lu Xun's father glared, then grunted, "I don't know where I learned such a domineering nature, anyway, I'm Ye Yao I'll turn around and run, looking for the death of that little son of a bitch Lu Xun."
*
Lu Xun woke up from his nap in a daze, his cell phone on the desk below him practically vibrating.
Relying on his height and long legs, Lu Xun didn't even take the bed ladder, directly tumbled down from the bed and picked up the cell phone from the desk.
As soon as he opened his phone, Lu Xun was flooded with countless @ contents.
[Luke Luke, are you silently grieving and weeping right now?]
[Lu is strong, why don't you come out for a drink, or come to the internet cafe and hack with us, the big guys will keep you company.]
What is it? Why is he silently grieving and weeping?
Lu Xun frowned inexplicably, then saw a picture.
The picture was of Ye Yao, who had slept next to him not so long ago. Ye Yao was wearing a simple jacket and jeans, and was walking on the campus road next to a cute girl in a white dress.
A crack appeared in Lu Xun's expressionless face.
Ye Yao meets girls alone when he's not around.
Ye Yao ...... is dating other girls!
Ye Yao dresses so well and looks so good, surely no one can resist!
Who would reject Ye Yao? Ye Yao isn't blind. Whoever dares to reject Ye Yao and make Ye Yao sad, he'll beat that asshole up.
Ye Yao will soon be a couple with someone else!
Countless thoughts and ideas rushed into his mind, and Lu Xun only felt that his eyes were dark and the sky was spinning.
He held onto the table and wiped his face, grabbed the same jacket as Ye Yao, cleaned himself up as fast as he could, and flung himself out the door with a bang.
