CH 5

Revenge and play the hooligans back?

How do you play it, cuddle up to Lu Xun and give him a kiss?

Is it the plot of some weird little movie where you can make a move on your crush and the other person even cooperates?

There is a momentary drift in Ye Yao’s eyes as he meets Lu Xun’s gaze and sees the indulgence in it.

“Well?” Lu Xun was still teasing Ye Yao unknowingly, “Coming or not?”

“Wow…”

Lu Xun was caught off guard and let go of Ye Yao’s face and took two steps backwards.

Ye Yao controlled himself with a mocking smile: “Huh.”

“Good for you Ye Yao, a sneak attack?” Lu Xun strides into the bath and clamps his arm around Ye Yao’s neck as he leans in, “Let’s have a water fight, let’s see what you can do!”

Ye Yao pushed Lu Xun out of the way and at the same time, his foot slipped and he sank into the water.

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

“Is everything okay?” Lu Xun, in front of him, frowned and came over, “Let me see.”

Ye Yao was about to get too close when he put his hand against Lu Xun to prevent him from getting any closer.

“What could be wrong, this isn’t a boneyard,” Ye Yao said as he wiped the water off his face and tried to divert Lu Xun’s attention from him. His eyes quickly locked on a wooden cot nearby and he asked Lu Xun, “This place is quite different from what I thought it would be, why is there a bed in the bathhouse for people who have passed out?”

Lu Xun’s eyes averted as Ye Yao had hoped, he glanced at the cot, the corners of his mouth curving upwards before forcing them down, finally unable to keep his face in the face, he could only twist his head and laugh as silently as possible a few times.

That is not a bed for resting, that is a bed for rubbing, and it seems that his fellow Ye Yao, knows nothing about what is going to happen.

It’s great that the motherland is so vast and the regional customs are so different.

“What are you laughing at?” Ye Yao queried.

Lu Xun replied to Ye Yao’s question, “Can I rub it for you later?”

Ye Yao kept his guard up: “Just a back rub.”

Lu Xun smiled with the love of his classmates, “Don’t worry, I’ll do as you say, don’t you worry about me.”

When Ye Yao lies on it, it is still up to him to decide where to rub it. Front and back, let him do as he pleases.

Lu Xun adjusts his position and leans alongside Ye Yao on the edge of the pool wall. Out of the corner of his eye, he can easily find Ye Yao’s figure, and even if he doesn’t speak, just being in the same space makes him feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Xun took Ye Yao’s hand and held it as usual, while the other hand played with Ye Yao’s fingers, circling and releasing them.

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

“That’s about it,” Ye Yao said, “let’s finish rubbing each other’s backs and go back.”

Lu Xun is in high spirits!

He stepped out of the water, walked over to the cot and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Yao.

“Your dedicated technician, Little Lu, at your service,” Lu Xun said in a deep voice, “please lie down on the floor.”

Lu Xun’s series of movements caught Ye Yao off guard and his hand froze in mid-air as he tried to reach for the towel, not even bothering to notice Lu Xun’s grin in front of him, placing his eyes, which were about to freeze, on the cot, which was only big enough for one person.

There was something that wasn’t quite what he had expected.

The back rub here is actually not a back rub where two people sit on a small bench, with their lower bodies nicely surrounded by towels, in harmony and friendship with only their backs showing, why do they have to lie down ah?

Ye Yao thought fast, taking into account the situation at hand, and in the blink of an eye understood what a real rub-down was.

“I just remembered that I have some urgent business to attend to, so I’m leaving.” Ye Yao came out of the pool and went straight to where he had put his clothes, only to be stopped halfway again.

Lu Xun had a friendly smile on his face, “Class leader, going back on your word is bad behaviour, it takes away trust, that’s what you told me before, you remember.”

“I’m very sorry about that.” Ye Yao tried to break Lu Xun’s hand away, “But Ye Yao, who promised to rub with you, has rested, I am his second personality, you can rub with Master Gram tomorrow.”

“…… grass.” Lu Xun couldn’t hold back his laughter, then with a push in his hand, he lifted the 6’8″ Ye Yao into the air and carried his to the cot.

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

Ye Yao stiffens uncontrollably and casts his eyes over Lu Xun’s shoulder and behind him.

Lu Xun’s hands were really hot, even hotter after the hot water.

Lu Xun was going to go straight to work and get Ye Yao ready for the rub, but Ye Yao’s tautness was a clear indication of Ye Yao’s unease.

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

Ye Yao breathes a visible sigh of relief.

“Why are you still so uncomfortable with me?” Lu Xun asks softly.

“It’s not very customary.” Ye Yao said.

“Just because you’re not used to it?” Lu Xun turned his head, his dark eyes, which were easily oppressive when staring at people because of their narrow shape, looked firmly at Ye Yao, but he quickly smiled, dispelling the oppressive feeling.

Lu Xun’s voice was still low and gentle, but his eyes were a little dangerous: “Do you know why I want to take a bath with you to deepen our relationship? You’ve been acting a bit strange towards me lately, do you have other friends and don’t want to be with me anymore?”

Ye Yao’s heart leaps.

He didn’t expect Lu Xun, who was usually a big-hearted man, to be so perceptive in this regard. He was already very careful and thought he hadn’t revealed anything, but Lu Xun still noticed something.

“Nonsense, when have I ever not wanted to be with you.” Ye Yao steadied herself, “And where’s the weird attitude, why don’t I know?”

Lu Xun looked like he was waiting for these words and suddenly narrowed his eyes, “How dare you say that, you have to hesitate to take a sip of my water and sleep with your back to me at night, my heart is broken by you, just 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 and Lu Xun did not push him, giving him enough time to prepare. Finally, Ye Yao sighed and slowly lay down.

Lu Xun felt his heart melting with the cuteness of Ye Yao, and the corners of his mouth lifted.

Ye Yao knew Lu Xun well enough to realise that something was wrong: “Are you setting me up for a trap here?”

“No way Ye students, am I such a person?” Lu Xun smiled as he pushed Ye Yao down, his smile not showing the sadness he had just seen, “Lie down, I’ll start now.”

*

Young Master Lu does the most ordinary of labours, but is contented.

He loves spending time with Ye Yao.

He enjoys spending time with Ye Yao, whether it’s reading and writing homework, which he didn’t like, or helping Ye Yao with various tasks.

In the past, he wouldn’t have worked for someone else, but if that person was Ye Yao, then yes, he would have been willing to do whatever it took.

*

The northern scrubbing is really not easy for southerners to get used to.

Ye Yao Yao has encountered a predictable and embarrassing problem.

It’s a matter of never being found out by some homophobic man.

Ye Yao :”……”

The matter had come to a head and the only way to get rid of it was to transfer the tiger.

” Lu Xun , go and get my phone for me.” Ye Yao spoke as usual, “I suddenly remembered I forgot to reply to a message.”

The 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 responded and covered Ye Yao from head to toe with the oversized bath towel.

Lu Xun footsteps walking away.

Ye Yao made a quick decision to get up and get off the floor and bring the towel that was blocking his view.

Then he saw Lu Xun, …… the one who should have gone to get his things, standing in place, looking at him with a smirk.

“You think I didn’t notice?” Lu Xun curled his lips, “Running for what?”
