As for the reason, He Ming had been single so far. There was a widely circulated history in the community -he always had a white moonlight in his heart.

It was said that this white moonlight was his kindergarten classmate, and other information was not clear.

In high school, a young girl saw Yu Tian and He Ming often go home together, so she went to Yu Tian to inquire about the news, and finally found that Yu Tian knew less than she knew.

“What? Are you saying that He Ming has always had a crush?” Yu Tian’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Don’t you know? He said it himself, playing Truth or Dare.”

Yu Tian: “… I don’t know.”

“I thought you had a good relationship, don’t you often go home together?”

Yu Tian: “Uh, we just live closer, and the relationship is … OK.”

It should be okay. After all, they had been classmates since kindergarten. Although He Ming’s personality was completely unpredictable and both of them argued as soon as they met, it was already the way they got along.

Since this “White moonlight” was He Ming’s kindergarten classmate, it was equivalent to Yu Tian’s classmate. After evening self-study, He Ming rode forward, and Yu Tian stepped on the pedal to catch up: “He Ming!”

He Ming braked slightly: “I thought you were not going home today.”

He Ming went to school every day, but Yu Tian went once every three days from the dormitory, so the two of them couldn’t go out together every day.

Yu Tian: “Today my aunt came back from abroad, my mother told me to go home, and I forgot to tell you.”

He Ming: “It’s okay.”

It should be early autumn. The evening wind was a bit chilly, and it became even colder when riding a bicycle. Yu Tian sneezed. He Ming looked back at him, and Yu Tian rubbed his nose: “It’s okay… then. I heard one thing today.”

Yu Tian had never spoken to anyone like this in his life. If the other party was his desk mate, he would have slapped him up and asked, “Boy, did you find a daughter-in-law for Dad?”

But he never dared to say this to He Ming, because he couldn’t tell when He Ming would punch him, probably because good students could never take jokes.

If it was this difficult to serve others, Yu Tian would be too lazy to ask, but he was really curious about He Ming. Would a cold person like He Ming also have someone he likes?

He Ming let out an ‘um’ at random, “What’s the matter?”

“The little girl in class three has a crush on you, the one who likes to wear a ponytail and a bunny hairpin and is quite good looking. She came to me today and asked me if I knew you had a ‘white moonlight’.” Yu Tian didn’t notice He Ming’s gradually sinking face, “I said I didn’t know, haha.”

He Ming: “You seem to know her very well.”

Yu Tian: “…”

The temperature around He Ming was colder than Autumn Night!

He was definitely angry!

“You… don’t get me wrong, I am not interested in her.” Yu Tian raised one hand and swore.

“Don’t let go of your hands.” He Ming’s tone was still faint, and Yu Tian couldn’t hear happiness or anger, but he instinctively felt that the chilling atmosphere in the air disappeared. He immediately grabbed his hand and heard He Ming say: “Really not interested?”

Sure again, was it possible that He Ming was interested in her? Yu Tian firmly said: “No, absolutely not. If you want to be with her, I will be the first to give you support.”

He Ming stopped the bike abruptly: “Why?”

Yu Tian: “…”

Was today He Ming having his period? Why was he so upset?

Because of what? Of course it’s because you are my little brother, I am happy if you are happy… Wait; it seems disgusting to say it.

“You have a secret crush on your ‘White moonlight’ for so many years, but you haven’t chased her. Either you don’t like her, or she doesn’t like you.” Yu Tian said.

Although his temper was not bad, he still couldn’t endure it. He Ming turned his face in a moment of impulse.

He Ming squeezed the brake hand, and the veins were exposed, and then he slowly let go and said, “I like him very much.”

…

The ringing alarm disturbed his sleep happily, and Yu Tian sat up from the bed and reached out to turn off the alarm.

The rare weekends and lazy sleep was interrupted by the alarm that was forgotten to turn off, and Yu Tian was depressed.

What made him even more depressed was that he dreamed of his high school days with He Ming. On that autumn night, He Ming was silent. Tightly holding the handlebars, he seemed to restrain himself.

He inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable.

It was still early, there was no news in the blank space on WeChat. Yu Tian was bored so he opened a friend’s group chat. The first was the dynamic “Coffee and wine, no friends after drinking:)” by Xu Wenwen, a classmate next door from high school. The picture was very colorful. The strange drink was probably coffee mixed with wine.

Someone commented below “hahahahaha, you will go on the way to develop dark dishes” and some sharp-eyed people said, “There is a man opposite you?”

Yu Tian clicked on the picture again and found that a wrist was exposed at the opposite position, as well as… the familiar metal strap.

At dinner yesterday, He Ming seemed to be wearing a metal watch of this color.

Xu Wenwen’s avatar… just happened to be a pink rabbit.

When she was in high school, Yu Tian often saw her leaning on the railing in the corridor to look down, her hair in a ponytail, and the pink rabbit’s hairpin could not be touched.

By the way, wasn’t she the girl who had a crush on He Ming? She also ran to ask him if he knew the white moonlight.

Now that ten years had passed, the white moonlight in He Ming’s heart would have probably disappeared.

Has it been replaced by a cinnabar mole?

Yu Tian’s finger stayed on the screen for a while and then clicked a thumbs-up.

It was really rare. After many years, He Ming had a pink bubble popping up again, but unfortunately he still didn’t know where his dream lover was.

Thinking of this, Yu Tian suddenly felt enlightened-it turned out that when he saw this group chat, he felt melancholy, not because He Ming left the single dog status, but because he was worried about where his object of affection was.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Yu Tian felt that the latter reason was more acceptable. Otherwise, why was he sad when He Ming found a girlfriend? He didn’t really want to compete with He Ming in every thing.
