Chapter 11

Mu Zhu hung up the phone, leaving Yu Tian with a blank face, as if struck by lightning.

This ‘I can hear all the Chinese you say, but I do not understand a word’ feeling, the last time it appeared. It was when He Ming gave Yu Tian a high mathematics problem.

Yu Tian cupped his phone and gulped.

He stared at the phone screen call records for a few seconds, to make sure that this was not a dream, like the phone was scalding hands, throwing it out with a flip.

What the Mu Zhu said, He Ming liked him …… was even more bizarre than Yu Tian finding out he was a homosexual.

How is it possible?

In Yu Tian’s memory, when the two first met, it was with He Ming’s disgusted and cold voice. He had already forgotten the specific reason anyway, when Yu Tian headed over to see what He Ming was doing. He Ming coldly pushed his head away, accompanied by a rejection of the sentence “you go away”.

Well, the kid period was too long ago, let’s not mention it.

In sixth grade primary school, it was also the time when Yu Tian started to “dislike” He Ming. The reason for this, if he remembered exactly, was that when Yu Tian and He Ming were chatting, Yu Tian had said “I think Deng Jie is the best looking”. The two people were in different classes, but He Ming still quickly reacted to who Deng Jie was: “Your class president.”

“That’s right.” Yu Tian raised his eyebrows towards him, “Many boys in our class like her.”

He Ming gave a faint ‘oh’.

The next day, when Yu Tian came home again, what was waiting for him was Ms. Chen Ran’s duster: “Little brat, who is Deng Jie?”

After Yu Tian received that threat, he immediately started thinking in his head ‘the boys in the class often gather in private to discuss which girl is good-looking, but no one has Ms. Chen Ran’s contact information, ruling out the possibility of them snitching. Except for the people in the class ……’

Yu Tian’s mind came up with He Ming’s cold face.

It was actually him!

After living for more than ten years, Yu Tian for the first time tasted the taste of being betrayed by his best friend. His heart had mixed feelings, he felt that He Ming was too bad.

He was just talking about which girl was good-looking, and did not say he wanted to fall in love early, so why inform the parents?

There was a ‘inspector’ type of person in Yu Tian’s class. His control was particularly broad. Which male classmates even looked at who could be reported to the teacher. The person looked like a traitor. At a glance he was not a good thing, but Yu Tian did not expect that He Ming, who looked so righteous, would actually do this kind of private informer hook.

Yu Tian decided to unilaterally break up with He Ming, and since then never said to He Ming that a certain girl looked good.

……

Yu Tian dragged his steps to the bed, threw himself onto the lazy Ara like garbage, and continued to think down the timeline.

The two people were separated in high school due to the “gay incident”. Now carefully recalled, He Ming’s attitude seemed not disgusted, but closed to fear.

According to Yu Tian’s understanding of He Ming, even if he knew his orientation was different, he would definitely accept it in the end, and would not live in fear. So, what was He Ming afraid of in the first place?

Last night, Yu Tian lay beside He Ming and did not sleep much.

”

”

The reason was actually very simple, he reacted.

This made him very confused. To avoid being found by He Ming in this situation, he was thinking about what he should do next.

The determination before going to sleep was actually a little shaky, compelled by hormones and the night, Yu Tian would actually prefer to roll over and hug He Ming and make a confession at the right time.

However, this was very irrational.

Yu Tian knew.

He Ming would probably be shocked, and then reluctantly say goodbye in a polite way, and finally end their friendship of more than 20 years.

So, assuming that He Ming liked him, did he ever think that way?

That was why he reacted so strongly and told him to stay away.

Yu Tian irritably scratched a handful of hair. He thought he shouldn’t have made that call , and then relented to Mu Zhu. ‘What a bullshit psychiatrist, he didn’t reduce his psychological problems but increased them instead’.

By the way, it was not certain that what he said was true. Since high school, he had not been very reliable. Thinking about it, Yu Tian, who was a bit agitated, slowly calmed down, and then a cold feeling of loss came out.

Yu Tian: “……”

This little girl’s mind is really endless!

”

”

The whole weekend, Yu Tian neither went to the gym nor did he go out to see a movie. He nestled at home, one moment walking into the kitchen and another into the living room and finally fell on the bed wailing, in short …… he perfectly copied the spring girl’s day.

“Whatever,” Yu Tian half-deadly crawled out from the quilt, “I’m going to make it clear .”

***

Yu Tian’s ideal was to set up a goal decisively but dawdling when implementing it. If he did it fast then he probably wouldn’t have thought it through.

Around five o’clock in the afternoon, he decided to make a straight turn to He Ming’s pet hospital so he sat up from the bed with both hands, scaring Ara to jump a meter away. As a result, by eight o’clock in the evening, he hadn’t taken a centimeter out of the house.

“It’s so embarrassing.” Yu Tian stroked Ara’s dog head, “What if this is me making a fool of myself?”

Ara stuck out his tongue, looking at him with a silly look.

Yu Tian suspected that Ara had husky blood and if he stayed with him, his IQ would be reduced. So he gently pushed him: “Pup, daddy is sad, you go play on the side first.”

Ara did not grasp the meaning of his action, still squatting on the bed and refusing to go down.

Yu Tian sighed. Anyway, he did not expect it to be understood.

At this time, his stomach let out a ‘gurgle’. Yu Tian remembered that he had not eaten.

He pulled open the refrigerator door and found that the breakfast that He Ming had sent him had already been eaten by him in the morning and what was left in the refrigerator was the same as when He Ming came to make him breakfast that day, eggs and milk.

It was impossible for a grown man to fill his stomach with such a little something and he had not been to the supermarket for a long time, and there was no food left at home.

Yu Tian sighed and closed the refrigerator door, his eyes fell on Ara’s dog bowl.

“……”

When he realized that if he continued to be hungry, he might really be reduced to grabbing food from Ara. He resigned himself to taking his coat off the coat rack and grabbed the scarf and key. Driving away Ara, who had followed him out, back to the bedroom. He pulled open the door.

Then, he and He Ming’s eyes collided unexpectedly.

He Ming withdrew his raised hand: “Just about to knock on the door. Where are you going?”

Yu Tian stammered, “I’m going to go and buy some food.”

He Ming frowned: “Haven’t you eaten?”

Yu Tian: “… I was not hungry till now.”

He Ming stared at him for a while: “Are you not feeling well somewhere?”

When he said that, Yu Tian felt his face was very hot. It was probably because the heating was particularly high today.

Yu Tian shook his head: “Maybe I’ve been bored at home all day.”

“Then let me go out to eat with you.” He Ming said.

Yu Tian couldn’t think of a reason to refuse and nodded his head.

It wasn’t until the two of them were sitting in the store that Yu Tian realized he hadn’t asked He Ming what he had come over for today.

He Ming took a sip of water: “Nothing much, I forgot a scarf at your place this morning.”

Yu Tian: “Then why didn’t you say so just now? If you did, I would have brought it out for you.”

He Ming didn’t care much: “It’s okay, it’s more important for you to eat first.”

He Ming’s voice was actually very nice. But his tone of voice and expression were always very light, which made people feel that there was neither much warmth nor emotion. But at this moment the two of them were sitting in a well heated store with soft warm light reflecting overhead and He Ming’s coat was casually resting on the back of his chair, lined with a thin camel-colored sweater, which softened his eyebrows a bit.

His voice sounded extra gentle.

Yu Tian felt like he was going to surrender under He Ming’s sugar-coated shells, so he hurriedly took a sip of soup and said vaguely, “Delicious.”

He didn’t understand why He Ming was so attractive to him. It was only a few days and he had reached such a level.

The speakers in the store were playing very familiar soft music. Yu Tian remembered that He Ming used to play this piano song and had performed it at the school art party.

At that time, he was in a suit, looking handsome and attracting thousands of girls. Yu Tian crossed his legs and sat down on the stage. He was so dejected that his tail was almost up in the air. He Ming at that time excitedly announced to everyone: “This is my childhood friend, I picked the suit with him!”

Someone next to him pushed his elbow: “Yu Tian control, your eyes are shining so brightly!”

…… It is also possible that he has liked He Ming for a long time.

Just like making wine is a long process but the taste of wine comes out in a moment.
