Le Han knew—

Le Han understood him!

Maybe he’d heard the last sentence he had said. Perhaps he understood the lyrics, but in short, Le Han knew who he was!

For a moment, Qi Xun didn’t know what to do. The anger and hostility disappeared instantly, and his heart was boiling.

Xu Jingsen’s face became cold.

Yu Manman didn’t dare to ask: ‘What’s the relationship between you two!?’

She remembered that Qi Xun himself admitted he liked men, but Qi Xun and Le Han?!

—Qi Xun and Le Han?!

An Ke was also stunned silly and stammered, “Qi, Brother Qi, what’s your relationship with Le Han, ah …”

Qi Xun was coaxed by Le Han’s words. He ignored everything else, and all his attention was on Le Han.

When Le Han, who was held protectively in the arms of Qi Xun, heard him call his name, he moved and turned his head to look over.

After being comforted by Qi Xun for a while, Le Han calmed down.

After calming down, he felt as if his mind had been cleared. It was the same feeling he’d had the day he was blocked in the men’s bathroom.

After the fierce and frantic fight, his physical strength was exhausted, and his spirit was entirely relaxed. However, his mind had become clearer than ever.

Le Han thought he would never have this kind of experience again, but he didn’t expect to experience it once more tonight—

This group of people wasn’t willing to let him go today— What would have happened today without Qi Xun?

This supposedly wonderful day would have probably turned into the second nightmare in his life.

And the most ridiculous thing was—

Le Han’s eyes slowly swept across these people.

The corners of his lips twitched.

He smiled ironically.

Seeing his smile, the faces of several people changed.

The clouds slowly drifted away, and the moonlight shined down again. This time, the light fell on the group of men and women, illuminating each of their expressions.

Yu Manman’s face was ashen and full of humiliation.

Liu Yifan looked at Xu Jingsen, who was standing in front of him, with disdain and anxiety.

Xu Jingsen’s face was expressionless, but his eyes stared at Le Han as if he wanted to eat him.

What were they angry about? What were they jealous of? What about their unwillingness?

Le Han had never seen it so clearly. In this moment, he felt a little ridiculous.

It was as if a dark cloud was suddenly washed away. After the darkness faded bit by bit, everything that had been hidden finally revealed its true colors.

—It turned out that everything was like this.

—It turned out that they all looked like this.

Le Han had always felt that this group of people was a big mountain. He was so overwhelmed that he had to struggle every time for survival.

But tonight was very different.

Facing Xu Jingsen, he noticed something.

When Qi Xun had rushed over to hug him, he’d realized another thing.

Le Han calmed down at an unprecedented speed. After he calmed down and clearly saw the expressions of these people, he had a sense of sudden realization.

—I see.

—It turned out to be like this.

—It turned out that I didn’t need to fight desperately all my life to defeat them.

Yes, they were just human beings. It didn’t make sense that he couldn’t defeat them after working hard for a long time. Only now did he realize this.

—It was clear that he already lived better than all these people, and he was stronger compared to them.

Yu Manman gritted her teeth and said, “What are you looking at—”

Qi Xun suddenly said, “I’m his boyfriend.”

Several people were stunned.

Qi Xun looked up and said to An Ke, “I am his man.”

An Ke turned pale.

Yu Manman was stunned for a moment. She was so angry that she said, “You— you actually like this—”

A chuckle left Qi Xun’s lips. “Are you sure you want to go on?”

Yu Manman was startled. “What?”

Qi Xun had also calmed down. He looked at Yu Manman and said, “You are only humiliating yourself in front of him.”

Yu Manman took a step back, and her face twitched unnaturally. She forced a smile and said, “I’m humiliating myself? Where can I not compare to him? Ha! Me? If I want something, I will get it. What can be done if you don’t want to? I’m more popular and richer than him. I always get what I want. The man he likes is no—”

Yu Manman stopped here.

Yu Manman remembered she had approached He Yiming with the idea of humiliating Le Han. Thinking she had caught him, she’d been sarcastic and triumphant every time she saw Le Han. But what about the facts? The man had used her as an object to test his feelings for Le Han and then threw her away. It was the first time in her life that she’d felt so humiliated because of Le Han.

And then what?

The man she had worshipped as a god protected Le Han carefully in his arms, but with disgust he told her to stay away from him—

Was there anything Yu Manman couldn’t get, but Le Han could?

No, there couldn’t be such a thing in this world!

—How could there be such a thing!

Yu Manman wanted to scream, but she was looked at with disdain and irony by that pair of eyes. She didn’t want the man to regard her as a crazy woman, but she was too angry. In the end, her breath became short, and her face turned red. She stood in place, and her eyes quickly turned red.

Le Han looked at Yu Manman and then at Xu Jingsen.

His face was still pale, and his voice was soft. “Who would like a pervert like you, ah ? Only abnormal people would like you.”

Xu Jingsen weighed up Le Han’s statement, and a word sprang out of his gritted teeth. “Pervert?”

Le Han looked directly at Xu Jingsen and didn’t respond.

Liu Yifan had already noticed that Xu Jingsen’s state was wrong. He stepped back uneasily, not wanting to be affected.

Xu Jingsen twisted his neck and laughed. “Pervert?”

He touched the back of his neck, sniffed, and said, “Le Han, you dare to say such things in front of so many people today, but do you dare say it when there are only the two of us?”

Le Han asked lightly, “Why wouldn’t I dare?”

Xu Jingsen looked up, and a violent atmosphere lingered all over his body. His teeth gritted as he said word by word, “I would kill you.”

Qi Xun clenched his fists for a moment, his knuckles cracking, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

Le Han held his hand and said to Xu Jingsen, “If I were really fucked by you, I would have been dead by then. So who would you kill?”

Xu Jingsen’s expression became tense as he stared at Le Han.

Le Han’s voice was light and airy. “You, do you really believe that I’ll follow you? Even children don’t daydream like this.”

“Le Han!!” Xu Jingsen’s roar frightened Liu Yifan.

Xu Jingsen rarely got irritated. Most of the time, he stepped on other people’s heads, and they knelt under his feet in fear. Liu Yifan had never seen Xu Jingsen like this. He had completely lost his mind from anger.

Liu Yifan was secretly shocked. He didn’t expect Xu Jingsen to rush to Le Han. Seeing that the bar’s staff was about to come over, he bit the bullet and rushed to stop Xu Jingsen. “Fuck, calm down! Don’t get provoked!”

Xu Jingsen’s eyes were red and fierce, but Le Han wasn’t afraid.

…Perhaps he wasn’t afraid of death because of the man next to him.

Qi Xun frowned and said, “Le Han.”

“It’s okay,.” Le Han said as he held Qi Xun’s hand and straightened his back.

After this, he glanced at Yao Lingyu one last time.

This look contained a trace of disdain, pity, and sympathy as if saying: ‘Look at what you’ve become’, making Yao Lingyu’s face change drastically.

In an instant, he became as angry as Xu Jingsen.

His parents had no money.

The less someone had, the more they would want, let alone money.

Before stealing Le Han’s mobile phone, he had stolen many things, but he had never been discovered.

When he’d stolen Le Han’s phone, he never thought this insignificant move would bring enormous changes to his life.

Later, he regretted it several times. If only he didn’t steal Le Han’s phone, if only he hadn’t been driven by humiliation and shame to break into the self-study session that night.

He liked men. He was a closeted homosexual. When he discovered the secrets in Le Han’s phone, he was surprised to find they were the same kind. He had a peeping desire and distorted psychology that he couldn’t clearly explain. He took screenshots of those conversations one by one, and just as Xu Jingsen had said, he would look at them from time to time.

He didn’t know what he was looking for. Perhaps he wanted to reassure himself, or maybe it was simply curiosity. Anyway, he didn’t plan to use those screenshots as a tool for revenge at first.

Impulse and courage come and go quickly. When La Han had become the gossip of the whole school, and his campus life was no different from living in hell, Yao Lingyu knew that he wasn’t much better. Even if Le Han was homosexual, he still couldn’t erase the ‘thief’ label from his body and was still a target of public criticism.

Yao Lingyu was frightened. He shrunk his neck and lowered his head, feeling as if he was like a living mouse until Xu Jingsen extended his hand to him.

Yao Lingyu had longed to be part of Xu Jingsen’s group for a long time. He yearned for that kind of arrogant life. He could do whatever he wanted and have what he wanted. Even if he made a mistake, the teacher couldn’t do anything to blame him. His parents wouldn’t have to bow to their knees when they came to school, and he wouldn’t have that ugly stain in his file.

He used to want to belong to that circle, but those young masters and young ladies whose family backgrounds were so different from his, wouldn’t even look at him.

—Until Xu Jingsen offered his hand to him.

At the time, Yao Lingyu was ecstatic.

But for a long time later, he would think every night of Xu Jingsen’s playful smile when he had reached out that hand.

It became his nightmare.

Up to now, Yao Lingyu had always been clear about why Xu Jingsen helped him in the first place.

In their third year of high school, Xu Jingsen took care of him. Yao Lingyu acted as a school boss; everything was exactly like his dream life until the night after the college entrance examination.

That night, Xu Jingsen had sex with him.

During the climax, Xu Jingsen pinched his chin and called a name in confusion.

Perhaps when Xu Jingsen had calmed down afterwards, he didn’t remember those two words.

He had called Le Han’s name.

Because of this, Yao Lingyu understood a step earlier about Xu Jingsen’s feelings towards Le Han. Xu Jingsen might understand the desire of his body, but he never thought he was serious.

It was ridiculous that this man was twisted to such a point. He’d trampled on Le Han and turned those feelings that he didn’t understand into lust and masochism. He even kept the person who’d framed Le Han by his side. Maybe it was because he was ‘involved with Le Han’ or just to annoy Le Han.

Le Han’s existence ignited a fire in his heart, but he used Yao Lingyu to burn that fire.

And when he finally understood his feelings, Le Han was already gone.

Xu Jingsen was crazy in bed. Yao Lingyu didn’t know whether he would be gentle when Le Han was on his bed one day, but Xu Jingsen was reckless and ruthless when he was with him.

Yao Lingyu was afraid of him, but he didn’t dare to leave him because he lived a different life under his protection. He couldn’t imagine what he would become after leaving Xu Jingsen’s side.

And for two years, in those twisted days, he had always been thinking about—

Ah, why?

They were the same kind, but their life was so different.

Le Han’s sexuality was exposed in public by him. After that, he was criticized by the whole school and tortured by demons like Xu Jingsen and Yu Manman. But was this man still okay?

Every day he went to school calmly, and even if his parents scolded him, he was still calm and well-behaved.

Why didn’t his grades go down at all? Was he not affected in any way?

Why did he get admitted into T University without any hindrance? It was one of the most famous schools in the country, and the mathematics department was an elite major. Would his future be bright?

Why, why?

Why were they living so differently?

He thought he had knocked Le Han down to the mud, but Le Han stepped into the blue sky full of sunshine.

He thought he had finally entered heaven, but when he became sober, he found that he was in hell.
