There was no one in the bathroom. When Gla.s.s-guy came over, he saw Straight Guy was.h.i.+ng his hands with his eyes staring at the ground to hide his red eyes.

Gla.s.s-guy came over and stood beside him. "Zhou Yang."

Straight Guy indeed wanted to say something to Gla.s.s-guy, but he didn't understand why he easily got his eyes red these days, which was too unmanly and abnormal.

He felt how close Gla.s.s-guy stood next to him, for he heard Gla.s.s-guy breathed rapidly.

"Zhou Yang," said Gla.s.s-guy again.

Straight Guy felt embarra.s.sed if he didn't look up this time.

Thus, Gla.s.s-guy saw his red mouth and red eyes and felt that something was about to burst out of his chest.

Gla.s.s-guy cupped his chin to force him to raise his head and bowed his own head to kiss him.

[184]

"Are you scared?"

Straight Guy nodded his head blankly and then shook his head again. He turned his head away and didn't dare to look at Gla.s.s-guy who didn't allow him to make a dodge, though. Gla.s.s-guy clamped Straight Guy's chin tightly and made him looked at himself. He then said gently with his lips tenderly brus.h.i.+ng past his, "Yangyang, I originally gave me a chance to let you go."

Straight Guy looked at him with confusion and eager in his eyes. Gla.s.s-guy half dragged him into a cubicle with a smile, and pressed him against the door a.s.sertively which was closed by himself immediately.

Gla.s.s-guy bent his body to bite the lips of Straight Guy who hadn't resisted back at all and he kissed so pa.s.sionately that he could taste the baby cabbage in Straight Guy's mouth.

Straight Guy's chest heaved violently.

Gla.s.s-guy revealed a satisfying but disgruntled expression and licked his own lips. He wore his gla.s.ses back and rubbed Straight Guy's hair, "Yangyang, such a good boy."

[185]

Straight Guy followed Gla.s.s-guy back with his red eyes and lips and didn't dare to look at the expressions of the two people sitting right in front of him.

Gla.s.s-guy sat down as calmly as before and smiled at Domineering Guy and Coquettish Guy.

Straight Guy thought that there was a possibility to hide this matter for a while since Gla.s.s-guy said nothing odd. Then, he saw Gla.s.s-guy wiped his lips and appeared to relive the feeling. He bowed his head that he had just raised and quietly went blushed.

Straight Guy continued eating the baby cabbage left in his bowl in a blank look for fear that his roommates would find out something. Gla.s.s-guy felt somewhat helpless and funny and said with a smile, "You'd better stop eating anything spicy. Even if you can endure it, I can't stand it anymore."

Straight Guy: ?(????ω????)?

Coquettish Guy: (??-??)

Domineering Guy: (*′_ゝ｀)

[186]

The hotpot was bubbling up with heat air coming out, but the four people were immersed in typing on their cellphones.

Domineering Guy: Honey, I think something has happened.

Coquettish Guy: If Little Zhou doesn't mention it, we won't bring it up first in case that he feels awkward.

Domineering Guy: But when did they start? I'll ask the uppercla.s.sman about this in details someday!

Straight Guy: Upper...uppercla.s.sman, do I need to tell the Boss and Little Chen?

Gla.s.s-guy: about what?

Straight Guy: About...about us...

Gla.s.s-guy: Huh? What?

Straight Guy: U...us being together.

Gla.s.s-guy: Are you baring your heart to me?

Straight Guy withdrew a message.

Gla.s.s-guy: The screenshot has been taken. And I said yes.

[187]

When they almost finished the meal, Gla.s.s-guy paid the bill by an excuse of going to the restroom. After getting back, he asked if the three were ready to leave.

Coquettish Guy subtly looked at Straight Guy and Gla.s.s-guy with a concern that although the uppercla.s.sman was trustworthy in the matter of academic works and career, he never saw the uppercla.s.sman date any boys before and felt worried if the whole thing about the uppercla.s.sman suddenly being together with Little Zhou was reliable.

Straight Guy raised his hand at the time and said he needed to use the toilet, leaving the three to look at each other. Domineering Guy said, "Uppercla.s.sman, you two..."

Gla.s.s-guy pushed his gla.s.ses. "Yangyang is very cute." He admitted tacitly.

Coquettish Guy slightly frowned, for it felt like to him a gray wolf praised the fresh meat of a little white rabbit.

"By the way, will you guys go back to your dormitory?" asked Gla.s.s-guy. Coquettish Guy felt the question was not simple, so he was figuring a reason out to get Straight Guy back with them, firmly stopping Straight Gus from being taken away. Then, Straight Guy almost wafted over with a pale and embarra.s.sed face. "What I ate was too spicy, and my stomach feels funny now."

Coquettish Guy felt relaxed with relief and replied to Gla.s.s-guy. "Oh, all right. n.o.body checks on us in the dormitory. "

[188]

Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. Straight Guy was kinda homesick and wanted to go back one day before the holidays. However, it was totally different for Coquettish Guy and Domineering Guy who felt more comfortable at the university than at home. Not until the very day of Mid-Autumn Festival that did they plan to go back. Thus, he had to pack up and go back alone.

Gla.s.s-guy heard this and said, "Then go with me. I've borrowed a car from a friend and gonna drive back. So, you don't need to take a night bus."

Straight Guy felt a little shy. Since he hadn't mastered the essence of being a gay couple, he didn't know how to face Gla.s.s-guy who had kissed him.

Still, Straight Guy agreed.

Gla.s.s-guy waited in the car, and here came the little Straight Guy who had carefully dolled up. He laughed on the spot and came close to Straight Guy to flirt with him. "Yangyang, did you do this on purpose?"

Straight Guy was somewhat shy. "Well, I...Little Chen asked me when I was getting changed. Then, he said they also wanted to go back earlier. Since you mentioned the car was s.p.a.cious, I brought Boss and Little Chen with me."

Gla.s.s-guy saw the two men who were coming forward with their luggage, he cracked an awkward yet polite smile.

[189]

Domineering Guy used to boldly show his deep love toward Coquettish Guy in front of Straight Guy and Gla.s.s-guy. He profoundly wished the world knew the love between them. However, they withheld themselves recently, mostly for they didn't want to leave a bad influence on Straight Guy who had never experience love. But, fate had its own plan. Straight Guy eventually became gay. The two looked at each other and never thought that the enlightenment education of a gay couple would change a person's life. They thought before getting in the car that they would stop Straight Guy from making a big mistake by checking on Gla.s.s-guy for him. It was late at night after they drove a while. The two sitting on the back seats couldn't hold their desires, especially Domineering Guy who started using his tongue to lick the lips of Coquettish Guy. Gla.s.s-guy saw it through the rearview mirror and turned around to stare at Straight Guy. "Yangyang, I want that, too."

[190]

Straight Guy should've been the first one reaching home. But, Gla.s.s-guy took a detour out of a reason known to all of them.

Coquettish Guy and Domineering Guy were respectively sent home.

Coquettish Guy got out of the car and took his luggage. After expressing his thank to Gla.s.s-guy, he said with a meaningful look, "Little Zhou, don't linger too long."

Instead of grasping his concerns in his eyes, Straight Guy felt a little excited upon thinking that he would be home soon and waved at Coquettish Guy happily.

Coquettish Guy went away with a sigh.

"Well, Uppercla.s.sman? This is not my way back home. I know here very well, and you can't trust the navigation which often misguides."

Gla.s.s-guy looked at him gloomily. "I'm hungry after driving a couple of hours on an empty stomach. Would you like to have a midnight snack with me before returning home?"

Straight Guy became truly guilty.

[191]

Without Gla.s.s-guy saying anything, Straight Guy had consciously pondered over where to eat. "What do you want to eat, BBQ or noodle with duck soup?"

Gla.s.s-guy looked at him with a smile. "What do you want to eat?"

He said while rubbing his own belly, "I'm hungry, too, so I wanna eat both."

Gla.s.s-guy said with a deeper smile, "Then we eat both."

It was so late after they finished the noodle, but Gla.s.s-guy still took him to eat BBQ. He thought about reporting his late return to his parents, but he had planned to surprise his mom by not telling her that he came back tonight, so he didn't take further action.

It was inappropriate if you had BBQ without beer. As a man, you gotta drink. After drinking, everything before Straight Guy seemed blurry. Seeing Gla.s.s-guy unsteadily walking toward the car and taking the keys out, he immediately pressed Gla.s.s-guy's hand and stuttered, "No, no, you can't drive after drinking. Where do you live? I'll escort you home. We take a taxi..."

Gla.s.s-guy said with a slightly bitter smile, "There is no one in my home. My parents are respectively re-married, and I live alone."

Straight Guy immediately became refreshed hearing that. Although they just started dating each other, and it seemed unconvincing to say the love between them was deep, his heart ached so much that he didn't know what to do. "Well, you..."

Gla.s.s-guy rubbed his eyes before wearing his gla.s.ses. "My home was left a mess for a long time, so I need to find myself a hotel first."

Straight Guy became bold under the influence of alcohol, he stood up with a pounding on the table, and said resolutely, "Let's go! Let's find you to a hotel!"

[192]

Straight Guy held the uppercla.s.sman into a hotel on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Having driven a couple of hours at night, Gla.s.s-guy could hardly hide his fatigue.

Straight Guy felt fidgety a little bit while watching the closed door. However, he took pity on his uppercla.s.sman who looked so tired.

"Take a shower and go to bed early," said he. "You are exhausted, aren't you?"

Gla.s.s-guy touched his face and took this chance to pinch his soft earlobe and rub it. "I'm not exhausted as long as Yangyang is here with me."

Straight Guy found it hard for him to resist his moves and he stuttered, "I...I'm going home. You go to bed as early as you can."

Gla.s.s-guy looked into his eyes. "Can you stay with me for a little bit longer? Tomorrow, I'll be alone for the festival."

Straight Guy felt his heart was shattering.
