Don't Hide From Me!
Ye Yao said he had bitten it, but in reality Lu Xun felt like he had been kissed, and the person who kissed him was fragrant and soft, like dancing on the tip of his heart.
This is not a punishment, it is clearly an encouragement to him.
âCan you call this a bite?â Lu Xun was happy and a bit angry, âSuch a light punishment, youâll be easily bullied when you go out like this, do you know?â
Ye Yao shook his head as he looked at Lu Xun and whispered, âNo one else can bully me, theyâre not my boyfriend. Only you can bully me, will you bully me?â
Ye Yao was taken into Lu Xunâs arms and he heard Lu Xun whispering in his ear, âI had a hard time getting you, I didnât ask you to come and suffer with me.â
Ye Yao closes his eyes and rubs hard against Lu Xunâs broad shoulder.

Ye Yao found that Lu Xunâs measures to stir up trouble on the forum worked, and when he got up in the morning to go to class, he received several enquiries in the morning, all asking if he was with Lu Xun.
And that was just the number of people who came to ask him directly; those who glanced at the ring on his hand every now and then were even more numerous.
Ye Yao simply used the hand with the ring on it to prop up his face so that people in the front row didnât have to look back three times because they couldnât see it.
Ye Yao told Lu Xun about the incident when he returned to the dormitory at lunchtime, and Lu Xunâs smug face could have flown into the sky.
âThey should have known by now,â Lu Xun criticised the insensitive crowd, âwhat kind of people say weâre friends when weâre going around showing our love so passionately! What kind of straight man is like that?â
âBut when you were straight, you did sleep with me every day holding hands.â Ye Yao said.
Lu Xun forced his lips: ââ¦â¦ Thatâs still not fire-eyed enough either, but luckily now they know.â
âWell, they know.â Ye Yao turned the ring he wore on his hand, looked at his reflection faintly appearing on the face of the ring, and said softly, âIâll try to show this ring to everyone more often.â
The look on Ye Yaoâs face when he said this was as serious as the one Lu Xun had seen in high school when Ye Yao said he wanted to study hard and get into the best university.
Learning has always been important to Ye Yao, and itâs important for Ye Yao to be open about them being together now.
Lu Xun felt like the bubbles of happiness rolling around in his heart were going to drown him, and if this wasnât a dormitory and a hotel, there was no way he would let Ye Yao stand there so nicely again.
He wanted to make love to this person, he wanted to be on top of Ye Yao, but the conditions here did not allow it and the nap time was short, so he could not cling to Ye Yao too much.
Lu Xun licked his teeth and chose to suppress his emotions.
This morning they both had a full class and in the afternoon Ye Yao still had a full class, but Lu Xun had one less class than him.
When Lu Xun returned to the hostel, it was empty.
He sat down in Ye Yaoâs chair and propped his elbows on Ye Yaoâs desk, his eyes once again turning to the ring he was holding.
He doesnât really like to wear jewellery, even in his middle-aged days, and it makes him feel bad about wearing all this fancy stuff on his body.
But now that the ring was his and Ye Yaoâs coupleâs ring, all those hard feelings disappeared, leaving only excitement and joy.
As long as Ye Yao is willing to join him, he will be happy to try whatever he was previously excluded from.
Like wearing all kinds of jewellery, like kissing and hugging men, like going deeper and further â¦â¦
Lu Xunâs throat knot moved and his throat became parched.
His eyes moved away from the ring and turned to an open space within the dormitory.
Ye Yao stood there at noon with a serious look on his face saying that he would work hard to make their ring visible to as many people as possible.
Lovely and sexy, all over with a deadly allure for him.
The dryness in my throat was becoming more and more unbearable, and water could not quench this thirst.
Lu Xun gets up from his chair and takes two steps forward to reach Ye Yaoâs wardrobe.
He is now Ye Yaoâs boyfriend, no longer a suitor.
Heâs about to start doing bad things again.
He had long wanted to do this again, and he would smell it not only this time, but next time, until the end of time.
So fragrant, Ye Yaoâs clothes â¦â¦ forever smelled deadly fresh to him.

Ye Yao is walking back to the hostel.
This class has not yet finished and there is some time before the end of the last class, so there are not many people on the campus paths now.
Ye Yao was supposed to be in class, but he was asked to fill out a scholarship packet. After filling out the packet, he saw that class was about to end in 10 minutes, so he asked Xiao Pang to take a picture of the teacherâs PowerPoint presentation and went back to the dormitory.
Itâs Friday and Lu Xun will be following him tomorrow as he continues to go through the city centre for extra lessons. As his boyfriend, Lu Xun will probably ask to sleep in the same bed with him.
What should he tell Lu Xun then? Should he directly encourage Lu Xun to speak his mind, or should he slowly and quietly guide him?
Ye Yao pondered and returned to the door of the dormitory, which was open a crack, thinking it was because Lu Xun had returned.
Ye Yao walks gingerly to the door, intending to surprise Lu Xun with an open door.
He wondered what Lu Xun was doing right now, but knowing Lu Xun, he was probably sitting with his legs crossed, reading news and information on his mobile phone, or just sitting and staring. Thereâs no studying, no gaming, and only a few things he can do at this time of day.
Lu Xun should be delighted when he suddenly pushes the door in.
âCrunch-â
Ye Yao was the first to see what was going on inside when the door was pushed.
The interior was well lit, his wardrobe door was opened and a figure he knew well stood in front of his opened wardrobe.
The wardrobe door covered half of the manâs body and Ye Yao could not see what Lu Xun was doing but could only tell that Lu Xun had probably poked his upper body into his wardrobe.
Hearing a noise at the door, Lu Xun quickly pulls himself out and turns his head, locking eyes with Ye Yao.
Ye Yao was a little surprised.
The reason for his surprise was simply the look on Lu Xunâs face.
Rarely would he have seen such â¦â¦ an indescribable expression on Lu Xunâs face.
Itâs not quite panic, itâs not quite shock, itâs like a confluence of emotions that have come together to create a superficially expressionless Lu Xun.
Ye Yao queried, âWhat are you doing?â
Ye Yao watches as Lu Xun slowly closes his wardrobe.
âIâve got nothing to do, Iâve finished packing my own wardrobe and Iâve come to help you pack your clothes as well.â Lu Xun said.
Ye Yao was a bit touched: âI donât have anything to tidy up here, I tidy it up every time I put my clothes away.â
âYeah.â Lu Xun came over and gently put his arm around Ye Yaoâs shoulders, âWhy are you back so early today, tomorrowâs the weekend, letâs go out for dinner tonight?â
âOK.â Ye Yao agreed.
Then he was grabbed by Lu Xunâs shoulders and led out. Ye Yao remembered something and broke Lu Xunâs grip: âWait, I have something to do, give me five minutes.â
Lu Xunâs voice tightened slightly: âTo go to the toilet?â
âNo.â Ye Yao shook his head, grabbed his backpack, which sat in the corner of his desk, and walked to his closet.
âNow that itâs hot, thereâs still only a few spring and autumn outfits sitting over at the tutorial, so Iâll bring a few summer outfits over in case they donât fit â¦â¦â
Ye Yaoâs voice came to an abrupt halt.
He keeps his clothes neatly packed, so once one spot is messed up, itâs obvious.
And now, with the vast majority of his clothes still neat and tidy, there was a small area of chaos.
It is still in the innermost part of the wardrobe, a place where you would never accidentally touch it.
â¦â¦
Ye Yao props herself up in the wardrobe with one hand and temporarily turns herself into an ostrich that just buries its head in the sand when things go wrong.
Itâs hard for Ye Yao to say what he is feeling right now.
Not so long ago, he would have been upset by Lu Xunâs various actions that did not match his previous image, but he finally chose to give Lu Xun the benefit of the doubt, believing that Lu Xun was just too fond of him to really do anything bad to him.
The response he receives from Lu Xun is gradually dispelling his unease.
But now, a different side of Lu Xun is showing up again, giving him another shock.
What about â¦â¦.
The other side of Lu Xun is wild, can he really handle it?
And getting his clothes like that, he even kind of â¦â¦ wanted to go after Lu Xun and beat him up.
