Chapter 58 - Very pleasing to the eye

Ye Yao didn't miss Lu Xun's mood, which was different from usual.

Although he is still very cool, Lu Xun's eyes are not cold, but rather dumb with shock.

Why, what was the problem? Was there some sort of everyday consumable in the ...... living room that he hadn't noticed?

Ye Yao's heart tightened slightly, but he walked towards Lu Xun without moving.

As he approached, Lu Xun subconsciously took a step back.

A few steps back was the small table with the decorative vase. Ye Yao frowned and took a few steps to Lu Xun's side, pulling him back to prevent him from getting hurt again.

"What's the matter," Ye Yao softened her voice, "why are you running when you see me, we Brother Lu don't want to be my friend anymore?"

Lu Xun's face was slightly sullen: "You don't know that I can't be friends with anyone without being friends with you."

Ye Yao smiled at that, "So what are you retiring?"

This question brought Lu Xun's attention back.

Ye Yao was so close to him, her long, white neck right in front of his eyes.

Lu Xun controlled himself to take his eyes off Ye Yao's neck collarbone and his voice became a little lower, "You didn't used to ...... dress like that."

Ye Yao's clothes are clean and tidy, with the fresh lemon scent of laundry detergent all over them.

Most of the time Ye Yao buttons her clothes to the top button, but sometimes when she is bored after a workout, she will unbutton it to the second button. But even if it's the second button, the neckline is so narrow that nothing is visible.

Of course, what kind of person is Ye Yao? A man who fights for his goals, who stays out of the mud, who is restrained and determined, who is not like the guys out there who like to show off their bodies.

All those sordid worldly desires would be out of place in Ye Yao's body.

Ye Yao was a little surprised by Lu Xun's words. He looked down at himself, then up at Lu Xun, and couldn't help but laugh at the same time.

"It's true that it's not my style, you bought it for me." Ye Yao said, "Doesn't it look good?"

The Lu Xun of eighteen memories and the Lu Xun of thirty-something are completely one aesthetic, Lu Xun said in a muffled voice: "...... is very nice."

Ye Yao naturally put her hand on one of Lu Xun's shoulders, "It's good to look good, come on, let's go to dinner with you first, then I'll show you the villa again and tell you what each of the rooms is for."

As Ye Yao and Lu Xun are both very busy at work, the meals are usually prepared by a highly paid chef. The meals are brought to the dining room through the back door and placed on the table, without the housekeeping staff at the villa disturbing the two of them at all.

The food was to his liking and Lu Xun sat beside Ye Yao and ate slowly, his mind finally cooling down from the shock of Ye Yao's housecoat.

This calmness led him to realise that something was not right.

...... is strange.

Although Ye Yao looks good in that, Ye Yao is not the type of person who likes to wear these types of clothes, so why did he buy them for Ye Yao?

They, as best friends, buy Ye Yao such ...... strange clothes just because he thinks they look good?

Once such details are thought through, there is so much that can be delved into behind the scenes.

Ye Yao took care of the patient and gave two prawns to Lu Xun, who was eating rice with his head in his hands: "Why are you just eating and not eating, are you uncomfortable here? Tell me if there is anything you don't like."

Lu Xun ate the prawns Ye Yao had given him and after a moment of silence asked, "Will you be sad when I cross over to replace him?"

Ye Yao: "......"

It's obviously a two-person drama, why does it have to be such a tragic scene?

"You are Lu Xun and no one else." Ye Yao replied cautiously, "Have you ever thought that maybe it's not a crossing, but just a temporary forgetting of something?"

Lu Xun took another bite of rice in silence.

He knew that Ye Yao would not believe it. Ye Yao never believed in feudal superstition, only in science.

I can't blame Ye Yao for this, after all, it was too amazing.

There was no telling what kind of man he had become after a decade or so, leaving him feeling out of place several times in just a short period of time.

Ye Yao would not talk about it, so he explored it himself.

* The house is a great place to visit.

After dinner, Ye Yao takes Lu Xun to see the various parts of the house.

Ye Yao was very glad that Lu Xun had put up his wedding photos in the city centre and not in this villa.

At first, Lu Xun wanted to put up the photos here, and even printed numerous large photos to fill the villa, but they were too big and too many, which made Ye Yao feel dense.

Every room was cleaned and there were no oddities. Although Lu Xun likes to wander around from place to place, Ye Yao always reminds Lu Xun to put his things away when he's finished so that he doesn't leave them lying around in case he has guests over.

Lu Xun calmly observes the furnishings in each room.

There are many signs of two people living together, such as the double chairs in the study, the desk for two people to read and work together, and the double lounger on the small terrace at the back.

He and Ye Yao did live together.

The villa is large and has a number of guest rooms, but none of them show signs of being occupied all year round and are slightly deserted.

"Sometimes when your parents or my parents come to visit us, they arrange for them to sleep in these guest rooms and they are both quite well now." Ye Yao said, "What's the matter, is there a problem?"

Lu Xun followed Ye Yao through the last room, pursing his lips slightly. When Ye Yao asked, he asked, "Shall we share a room?"

"Yeah, it's just like high school." Ye Yao looked natural and gave the reason she had thought of, "We're usually busy during the day and we only see each other at night to talk, so we just sleep together, and we're not even seeing each other yet anyway."

Ye Yao added, "If you don't want to sleep like that, then I can go to the guest room."

This proposal was quickly rejected by Lu Xun with a frown: "I could sleep with you before, but I can't sleep with you now? It doesn't make sense."

Expecting Lu Xun to say this, Ye Yao was not surprised and led Lu Xun to their bedroom.

As the sun went down and it became dark, Ye Yao took the pyjamas from the wardrobe and gave them to Lu Xun, patting him on the shoulder, "You've just come back from the hospital, go take a shower and rest, we'll go to bed early tonight."

Lu Xun did as Ye Yao told him and took his pyjamas into the bathroom.

As soon as the bathroom door closes and the sound of the water rises, Ye Yao quickly picks up her jacket, which Lu Xun has casually thrown over the back of the chair, and reaches for its pockets.

As luck would have it, he felt inside the ring that Lu Xun had taken off during his medical examination.

Ye Yao, relieved, opened the locked nightstand on Lu Xun's side of the bed and put the ring in with his own.

The two rings are accompanied by various props that they need to use on a regular basis that cannot be seen by straight men.

This cupboard is really full of big, heavy secrets.

Ye Yao locked the cupboard carefully and hid the key again.

It was great, everything was perfect, and for the time being, he and Lu Xun were the best friends in the world!

Eighteen-year-old Lu Xun, how nostalgic.

* The hot water drizzled over the head.

Hot water pours over his head as Lu Xun cleans himself and thinks.

Ye Yao slept in the same room with him, which means that they were really close to each other.

...... Did he overthink it before, and the future him and Ye Yao just have a change in aesthetics, or are they gradually starting to prefer looser styles as they get older?

Aesthetics and clothing trends evolved in ways that eluded Lu Xun, a straight man of eighteen perception, as he showered and changed into his pyjamas and walked out.

Ye Yao smiled at Lu Xun and got up to walk to the bathroom.

Lu Xun is somewhat stunned.

...... Ye Yao looks so good when he smiles at him in a housecoat like this.

The future does have that little bit of an eye for him.

It really does look good, showing off Ye Yao's superbly defined shoulders and neck, with the curve of his mouth when he smiles ......

Lu Xun was so dazed and confused until Ye Yao came out.

Ye Yao came out of the shower smelling so good, it was obvious that they were using the same shower gel, but it smelled better on Ye Yao. At least he wasn't interested in the smell of his own body wash, but he thought Ye Yao's was nice.

...... really smells good.

Lu Xun ran the tip of his tongue over his tiger's teeth as he kept himself from looking at Ye Yao's collar and lay back down on the bed.

Ye Yao turned off the headlamp and joined Lu Xun in bed.

"You usually sleep on that side of the bed," Ye Yao said, "and that's a good guess."

"Mmm." Lu Xun's hand moved under the covers and touched Ye Yao's.

He is next to the back of Ye Yao's hand and does not move.

The bustle of the day fades away and the quiet of the night brings certain emotions to the forefront of the mind.

A strange room, a strange bed, a strange blanket, and only Ye Yao by his side to give him a sense of peace.

"...... Not long ago you were tutoring me." Lu Xun turned his head to Ye Yao, "Did we get into the same university?"

The light from the bedside lamp was not too harsh and was soft on Ye Yao's face.

Ye Yao said softly, "Well, your hard work was not in vain, you got good marks in the entrance exams and we got into the same university."

"What happened?" Lu Xun pursued, wanting to know everything that had happened between him and Ye Yao.

"We chose different majors, but still lived in the same dorm," Ye Yao rewrites the facts slightly, "and over the four years of college we grew closer and closer, and have just stayed that way, and have agreed to be that good when we get older. "

"Yeah? ...... sounds good." Lu Xun said softly.

It was the best process and ending he could have imagined.

"Go to bed early," Ye Yao wanted to touch Lu Xun's head but restrained himself, "you need to rest more with the injuries you sustained today."

Lu Xun responded, and before he went to bed, he subconsciously tried to look at the photo of him and Ye Yao on the bedside table.

At this look, Lu Xun froze in his tracks.

There were various small items on the bedside table, but surprisingly there was no photo of him and Ye Yao together!

Does this make sense? It doesn't make sense, how is this how you can fall asleep without a group photo to look at?

Something is not right, this is very wrong.

...... future of him, should he be light on Ye Yao?

Ye Yao kept an eye on Lu Xun and noticed the difference and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xun's jawline tightened and he forced a smile, "I used to have a picture of us together next to the bed, why don't I have that habit now?"

Ye Yao: "......"

How should I put it, because Lu Xun has to sleep with him in his arms every day after exercise, and his head is facing his direction, so he doesn't have time to look at the group photo. Lu Xun said it was too cold for them to pose for the photo, so he just stopped?

Lu Xun had not yet learned to sleep with him in his arms in high school so he needed to be photographed together, but for Lu Xun, who was already with him, there were already other actions instead.

Ye Yao tries to be vague, "I'm right next to you in person, just look at me when you want to, there's no need to look at the group photo."

Under the covers, Lu Xun clenches his fists.

...... Ye Yao is still speaking for him.

Ye Yao has no idea of the seriousness of the situation.

Lu Xun started to ask: "What do you usually talk about before you go to bed?"

Ye Yao: "......"

What else can we talk about, who can still have a full conversation while doing juvenile sports?

"...... You'll exercise for exercise before you go to bed at night," Ye Yao said, "and when you come back from exercising, we'll talk about the day or what you thought about when you exercised today."

Lu Xun clenched his fists tighter and tried to control the expression on his face as he continued to ask, "How long do you have to exercise in the middle of the night?"

Ye Yao noticed the subtle expression on Lu Xun's face, "Two or three hours."

The corners of Lu Xun's mouth hang down, proving that he is in an extremely bad mood.

Chilling out at Ye Yao for two or three hours a day before bedtime?

He doesn't even pose for a group photo, so he can fall asleep in peace.

How can such a person stay by Ye Yao's side for so long?

Ye Yao even spoke up for him.

Ye Yao thought for a moment, "Do you want to exercise? The gym is upstairs, but you've just been injured, so don't move for a few days."

"Heh." Lu Xun sneered, "Leaving you alone for sport? It's not like I'm sick."

Ye Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and saw a certain look on Lu Xun's face that he knew well, a look that signified jealousy.

Was the friendship of a straight man of steel actually like this, had he missed out on too much before?

Lu Xun moved closer to him and whispered, "How can he leave you alone and bored, it's quite bad, I'll stay with you."

Ye Yao: "......"

Nice guy, not only can he be jealous, he can also stir up trouble.
