The Glasses-guy sighed with relief and read all the messages instantly before he read in detail and he felt his heart was shattered by these messages.
He never met such a guy before.
The Glasses-guy felt his heart was aching, but he smiled afterwards, as a relief, as a compromise. For a long time, he gave carefully and cautiously because he was afraid that the trust he gave out was no match for the love he received. But Zhou Yang was really a blank and straightforward person. The Glasses-guy felt all his carefulness and cautiousness were ridiculous in front of Straight Guy.
The Glasses-guy felt that he seldom received any sincere love, so when he gave, he was really worrying and he demanded the same return and even much more.
Zhou Yang, however, by nature did not know what return was and he only knew that he should be 100% kind to others.
For the Glasses-guy, Zhou Yang seemed to be an unexpected gift. Before knowing him, he didn’t expect too much of him; but when he got along with Straight Guy, he just wanted to own him and protect him. It was like life presented Zhou Yang as bait, he was left no other option but to give up all the calculating and cautiousness and replace them with a sincere heart for the precious gift.

Coquettish Guy sighed after reading the message from Straight Guy. Domineering Guy asked what happened before Coquettish Guy let him look at the phone. Domineering Guy came over and took a look, sighing “Little Zhou…”
Domineering Guy put his hands on Coquettish Guy’s, saying “Little Zhou sees things clearly.”
“I know.” whispered Coquettish Guy.
His response, compared with any other loving words, made Domineering Guy even more excited. Domineering Guy suddenly felt encouraged and touched upon his fingers, saying “Little Chen, please don’t fight with me in the future. I feel really sad.”
Hearing this, Coquettish Guy couldn’t do anything to him and he didn’t want to tell Domineering Guy the things worrying him these days to avoid worrying hi, so he just held back Domineering Guy’s hands and said with mixed feelings, “Zhou Ming, how come I end up being with you?”
【250】
When Domineering Guy was little, his father had some power. So driven by interest, a lot of people came to flatter him.
Little Domineering Guy could still recall the time when an uncle with a stern look came to his house with an adorable kid.
That was Uncle Ji, unlike others, he didn’t bring something over-priced. Instead, he only let the kid bring a bag of snacks. Uncle Ji said it was a little gift for little Domineering Guy.
Little Domineering Guy was innocent then. Seeing a kid bringing a bag of snacks coming towards him, little Domineering Guy was very excited and said “Is the kid also for me?”
Little Coquettish Guy glared at him, pouted against him and hugged his father’s neck.
Coquettish Guy’s father criticized him in a low voice. Then the lovely kid unwillingly turned around and said “Hi, how are you?”
Seeing this, little Domineering Guy was very pleased. He asked Uncle Ji put down the kid so they could play. Domineering Guy’s father had intended to see them out, but seeing his son’s behavior, he felt embarrassed to do that.
【251】
Little Ji Chen didn’t like little Domineering Guy because he had good manners and was well-educated at home while little Domineering Guy, on the other hand, behaved like a rowdy child.
Domineering Guy always loved things that little Ji Chen didn’t fond of and he always wanted to invite Ji Chen to play with him. Little Ji Chen was very frustrated, but his father told him to get along with Zhou Ming and invite him to visit his house.
Little Coquettish Guy didn’t understand why and every time Uncle Zhou called Zhou Ming to come back, his father would always indulge him. As long as little Domineering Guy didn’t want to go home, his father would always listen to his request even though little Ji Chen looked at his father in a pitiful way.
It came to a point that Domineering Guy’s father had to come to Coquettish Guy’s house to pick him up. Gradually, everyone knew that Ji had a good relation with Director Zhou and thus they would naturally do a favor to them.
Everyone got what he wanted except little Ji Chen. He was annoyed and heard that if a kid’s face was always pinched, he would drool when he grows up. Zhou Ming, the bad guy, loved pinching his face, which annoyed him a lot.
【252】
Ji Chen knew that there was no point struggling with that and he gradually accepted the fact that little Domineering Guy was a part of his life. However, little Domineering Guy kept annoying Coquettish Guy in so many ways, he would present a worm in his dirty little hands like it was a priceless treasure. At first, Coquettish Guy thought Domineering Guy was intentionally teasing him, but later he found out that Zhou Ming, a fool, thought he loved playing worms, rendering him completely speechless.
Later when they were having Labor Classes, their teacher taught them how to use rosin to make amber. Little Ji Chen made amber with a cicada that Zhou Ming sent him to make it look less gross. However, after Zhou Ming knew that, he said “little Chen, it’s so kind of you. I know you love that. I’ll climb the tree tomorrow and bring you ten more cicadas.”
Hearing this, little Ji Chen couldn’t refuse more.
【253】
It was at that time that little Ji Chen saw little Domineering Guy differently.
Little Domineering Guy and Coquettish Guy were playing in the yard. Suddenly, a big dog came out, staring at them.
Little Domineering Guy held Coquettish Guy with his arms before Ji Chen said anything. “Little Chen, I got this! Now go away and call your father!” said little Domineering Guy in a trembling voice. Despite fear, he still stretched his arms to stand between little Chen and the dog, acting like a little superman.
Little Ji Chen and the dog became silent.
Little Ji Chen walked forwards, saying “Hey, little fatty, let’s go.”
The big dog, called little fatty, wagged his tail and obediently went away with little Ji Chen, leaving little Domineering Guy standing there, with arms open.
【254】
Let’s get back to the other couple…
The Glasses-guy knew Straight Guy won’t answer his phone, so he sent a voicemail instead.
“Yangyang, it’s really not a good time to say these words, but it does relieve me when I speak out.”
“It’s true that I approached you out of curiosity. Even in the very beginning, I couldn’t deny that you attracted me, but I was too dumb to realize that.”
Straight Guy squatted on the floor and covered his ears. He knew he had a soft spot for his upperclassman and once he would believe whatever upperclassman said. But it shouldn’t be like this. He couldn’t figure out why upperclassman didn’t tell him the truth. What made him sadder was that he could not even tell the display of affection between was false or not. Even now, he could not recall any moment that his upperclassman had accidentally showed any slip or flaws when they were together.
Thinking about this, Straight Guy felt heartbroken. He didn’t expect that he, a love veteran would fall into the hands of a green.
【255】
Straight Guy went for a run and didn’t go home until he got all wet and breathless. Only in this way, could he have an excuse to plunge into the bathroom without explain to his mum why his eyes were red.
After taking a shower, Straight Guy found his mum prepared a glass of milk and messaged him “Dear son, were you dumped by a girl?”
Straight Guy sniffed and messaged back “Mum, isn’t there a possibility that I have dumped others?”
“No way. I know my son.” replied his mum instantly.
Little Straight Guy felt he wasn’t the son of his mum.
He couldn’t help opening the chat box with Glasses-guy. Although he told upperclassman he wouldn’t reply his message recently, he still couldn’t help reviewing their chat history.
At the same time, the Glasses-guy sent a message to him. Straight Guy’s hand trembled and accidentally sent out an emoji of [Falling on the ground and weeping].
Now Straight Guy had to reply upperclassman. He really wanted to kill himself.
【256】
Seeing Straight Guy’s emoji, the Glasses-guy suddenly became delighted and thought Straight Guy forgave him so quickly. But after he calmed down, he thought it was not the case and the emoji was most likely sent back by chance. So he messaged “Yangyang, hand slippery, right?”
Straight Guy nodded his head subconsciously, and he pondered in silence, without replying back for a while.
He had no idea that what Glasses-guy saw was “typing”. The Glasses-guy didn’t get his reply after a long time. He suddenly got what was going on.
“Yangyang, you don’t want to talk with me. Are you still angry?” said the Glasses-guy.
Straight Guy wanted to nod again, but he controlled himself.
“Call it an early night today. Can I see you tomorrow?”
Straight Guy still didn’t reply. He pouted and he felt really grieved.
“Really want to hug you.”
Seeing this, Straight Guy couldn’t hold his feelings any more, he plunged into the quilt and cried.
