It had been two weeks since that day, and it was only now that Lin Moyan had recovered and returned to Fang Yu’s house to confirm that he had deleted the evidence.

The memory of that day was imprinted in his mind. After Fang Yu saw that he had come, he pulled Lin Moyan into his room and took out his notebook and flash drives. Without hesitation, he deleted all the files in front of Lin Moyan. At that time, Lin Moyan stared blankly at Fang Yu’s movements and didn’t come to his senses until Fang Yu spoke up.

“You can live here temporarily, I’ll go somewhere else.” After that, Fang Yu simply packed a few clothes and left without looking back.

Lin Moyan stood there in a daze in the bedroom. Even when he heard the front door closing, he still didn’t leave. the room was quiet and he stood there until his legs had turned numb and then he threw himself onto the bed. He was completely unable to react at that time. It was as if everything that happened just now was merely an illusion.

As the sky darkened, he woke up from his stupor. The first thing that came to his mind was to leave this house which was overflowing with Fang Yu’s scent. After realizing that he fell in love with this person, he didn’t think he could manage to stay in the house that reminded him of Fang Yu without affecting his life. Not to mention, this was not his house and he felt that he should not be encroaching on other’s property. Therefore, he also took his necessities like Fang Yu and left.

Anxious to flee, he realized that he had nowhere to go when he left the house. After thinking for a long time, he dialled Yang Yining’s number. He knew that Yang Yining had rented a house outside and knew that it was safe to stay with him since they both shared the same secret. When the sophomore year started, Yang Yining had rented a single room apartment not far from the school. He had been taken there by Yang Yining once before so he was familiar with the way.

After receiving his call, Yang Yining did not ask much and came to pick him up. Lin Moyan did not refuse and waited at the gate of Fang Yu’s house after going downstairs.

When it was completely dark, a taxi stopped in front of him and he just got in the car and followed Yang Yining back to his home where he stayed for two weeks.

Yang Yining did not stay with him, saying that two men staying in a single apartment would be too crowded. He happened to have a friend who had a spare room, so he went to live there. Lin Moyan lived here alone. Yang Yining also came back but did not stay for long. He understood that Lin Moyan was in a bad mood so he didn’t ask anything but instead brought daily necessities and food for him.

Lin Moyan was busy attending class and doing his Student Union duties. Since both of them were in the same classes and Student Union, it was inevitable that they would meet. Lin Moyan would keep his distance from Fang Yu, just like he did in the beginning.

He had avoided Fang Yu in the beginning because he disliked him but now, he had to hide his heart and be indifferent to him. Only this way can he pull himself out a little bit. Maybe after a while, his relationship with Fang Yu will gradually fade, become shallow, and finally disappear…

On this day, Lin Moyan was bored and browsing the web in his room when Yang Yining came back with a bag of miscellaneous things. After the other party put down his things, he came to him as usual and they talked about trivial topics until they ran out of things to say.

Lin Moyan sighed, removed the notebook on his lap and massaged his stiff leg while saying, “Brother Yang, you have something to say, don’t you? Tell me, I’m listening!”

Yang Yining took a deep look at Lin Moyan, rubbed his wrist, and asked hesitantly, “Xiaoyan…what happened to you and Fang Yu?”

Lin Moyan’s hand rubbed his thigh back and forth. He smiled and said, “It’s okay, I don’t want to live with him because my habits are too bad. I’m afraid he’ll dislike me for being a bad roommate.”

Yang Yining held Lin Moyan’s that was on his thigh, raised his eyes to look at him, and asked seriously, “Xiaoyan, why did you think I didn’t ask much about you when you went out to live with others? “

Lin Moyan trembled and lowered his eyes. Did he know anything? He didn’t dare to look at Yang Yining, he could only lower his head and ask uncertainly, “Why?”

Yang Yining chuckled, retracted his hand, patted Lin Moyan on the shoulder and drew him into his arms. Lin Moyan also took advantage of their position and put his head on the other’s shoulder. “I have to say that Fang Yu is very attentive to you. He knew that I am the closest person to you here. If he wanted to get you, I should be aware of it, so he came to me and said that he had fallen in love with you and couldn’t live without you and hoped that I would cooperate with him.” After speaking, Yang Yining just hugged the person lying on his shoulder and waited for Lin Moyan’s response with a smile.

This was the first time Lin Moyan heard Yang Yining talk about Fang Yu, but it was such a heavy bomb. He had never thought that Fang Yu would declare his intentions to his close friends behind his back. Lin Moyan didn’t know what to feel. A hint of sweetness oozed from his heart but at the same time, he was a bit embarrassed. Although it was from Yang Yining, his closest friend from childhood, he found it slightly awkward to hear Fang Yu’s intention from others.

But Yang Yining’s support for Fang Yu also made Lin Moyan a little unhappy. After all, Fang Yu forced him at the time, and he protested angrily, “I was forced at the time!”

Yang Yining’s mouth curled up, his fingertips rubbing Lin Moyan’s shoulders assuringly, “You can see that Fang Yu is bound to win you over. Even if I disagree, it is inevitable. After all, he knows your secrets.”

“You knew?” Lin Moyan’s body shook and he raised his head to look at Yang Yining. Did Fang Yu tell Yang Yining about the photos? Lin Moyan felt cold all over. If this private and unspeakable fact was revealed to others, even if it was his closest friend, he would not be able to ignore it. He didn’t even dare to face Yang Yining now.

Lin Moyan lowered his eyes uneasily, waiting for the other party’s response with bated breath. In his heart, he was begging that Yang Yining knew nothing of what happened between him and Fang Yu.

Yang Yining sighed and nodded, “He hinted that he already knew something but he promised me that he wouldn’t talk nonsense to others. Xiaoyan, the reason I let him go was not just because he knew your secret but more importantly, it is because he is true to you and his intentions are sincere. You have to know that people like us can only be alone for the rest of their life.”

“Since there is a person who can accompany you, I have no reason not to agree. Fang Yu is very firm on spending the rest of his life with you but he did not want to force you to stay so he let you go so that the two of you can go with the flow and figure out things by yourself.”

Yang Yining paused before asking directly, “Moreover, are you in love with him now?”

Listening to Yang Yining’s narration, Lin Moyan couldn’t help but relax. It seemed that Yang Yining didn’t know what kind of evidence Fang Yu had in his possession and Lin Moyan was relieved. As for whether he was in love with him or not, he did not need to avoid this question since Fang Yu was not here. He nodded in affirmation.

Yang Yining breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had expected Lin Moyan to be in love with Fang Yu, he couldn’t feel at ease until he got a definite answer. After all, their relationship could be regarded as a forced one at the beginning. If Lin Moyan didn’t love him, then his brother would have been hurt for the rest of his life.

“Then, why are you separated from him now?” Yang Yining didn’t understand Lin Moyan’s actions. Since two people loved each other, why are they in this situation now? Lin Moyan was silent for a long time before speaking out the doubts in his heart, “I can’t believe that he can stay with me forever… You know, my mother was divorced two times… I can’t believe him, who knows if he will fall in love with others in the next second, I dare not take this risk…”

This time Yang Yining did not respond immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and thought for a while before speaking softly, “Who can predict what will happen to us in the next second? Maybe the next second, we will not be in this world or our loved ones would have disappeared from the world. What we can do is to grasp the present and then do our best to keep our hold on the future…In this way, even if we are alone in the end, we will not regret it. Otherwise, I would wonder what would happen if I had tried…Maybe it wouldn’t have turned out like this…” Yang Yining said this lightly, and it seemed that he was not only speaking to Lin Moyan but also himself.

After hearing this, Lin Moyan didn’t say a word for a long time and both of them were immersed in their own thoughts.
