“Let’s come out.”

Gu Yu was drinking water when he heard such an explosive speech from his childhood friend. He couldn’t endure and spurted the water directly on the person sitting in front of him. He coughed heavily several times before it eased. Then he looked up and saw a man was staring at him with a black line, with the water droplets fall from his face.

Usually, he didn’t have many expressions and always put on a cold appearance. A serious person suddenly looked like that makes Gu Yu almost laughed. However, he has to endure it. After all, the culprit who made the other party have this embarrassing look was him. Flaunted by the quick talk and suffer from this ‘fatal disaster’ is too much of an experience.

While the other party hadn’t yet got angry, Gu Yu immediately turned to the topic just now.

“No, I said Jiang Rongye you…you didn’t have a fever?” Gu Yu pursed his lips and stared at his childhood friend. The other party was holding a tissue to wipe off the water on his face. He lifted his gaze and took a glance after hearing what Gu Yu said. As a result, he saw Gu Yu’s palm approaching his forehead. He frowned slightly and flicked the man’s hand away.

“No.”

“You’re not going to come out! What ‘us’! Since when did I have an affair with you?!”

Jiang Rongye didn’t speak, he just stared at Gu Yu. Gu Yu looked at that unfathomable eyes, and get frightened. He stretched and rubbed his arms, then changed the question. “Don’t you like that Xu Nan?” Gu Yu said as he pressed the ache that emerged deep down inside, pretending to look calm in front of Jiang Rongye.

At first glance, sure enough, Jiang Rongye’s original wooden look changed slightly when he heard that one name.

Gu Yu’s lip twitched, somewhat loathed why he had to understand the person in front of him so much, that slight changes allowed him to realize it. In fact, it makes him more uncomfortable! Fuck, it really drove him mad!

The two of them sat and stared at each other for a while. Jiang Rongye as the one that ‘come out of the closet’ finally began to tell Gu Yu why he suddenly raised this matter.

Gu Yu and Jiang Rongye grew up together in the same courtyard. Gu Yu was one year younger than Jiang Rongye, but they played well when they were young. Their parents didn’t care about the age issue. They went to school together and have always been in the same class. It wasn’t until the first important high school entrance examination in junior high school that they parted ways. Gu Yu stayed in the local county while Jiang Rongye followed his family to another city.

Back then, Gu Yu was hiding inside the blankets and cried. Before Jiang Rongye left, he told Jiang Rongye not to forget him. Otherwise, both of them were boys. Their parents thought they had a love affair. Of course, the two of them didn’t have an affair, but Gu Yu had a small thought. Since he entered puberty, he realized that he was not the same as other boys that like girls. On the contrary, he found out that he paid special attention to his childhood friend Jiang Rong Ye. At first, he didn’t care much at all. He was aware of the fact that he like Jiang Rongye at the moment the other party told him about moving.

But he can’t open his mouth about two big boys together, what if Jiang Rongye’s family doesn’t like boys? Wouldn’t it be saying for they can’t even be friends? So in the end, he could only pull Jiang Rongye and tell him not to forget him, contact him often, and so on. Although they still kept in touch at the beginning, with the intensification of the high school curriculum, the relation between them become less. After the third year of high school, they completely lost contact.

At college, Gu Yu was pulled by his roommates to participate in a gathering. Even though he was not interested, but he couldn’t say no when he saw his three bachelors of roommates’ pitiful appearance. As a result, he unexpectedly saw the childhood friend who he hadn’t seen for many years, Jiang Rongye. Heaven knows how glad he was to come to the gathering. After so many years, at last, he could meet with the first love that has been occupying his heart all along!

Gu Yu hadn’t been able to kneel and shouted to heaven for being kind to him when he noticed that the entire time that person’s eyes had been glued to a delicate and pretty boy. Although Gu Yu had never been in a relationship before, he still had some common sense. He understands what that look meant. Later, after listening to his roommates’ explanation, he learned that Jiang Rongye was a school grass(1) in his school. This time it was said that he was pulled over to the gathering by a boy named Xu Nan.

And this Xu Nan is the boy who looked by Jiang Rongye from beginning to end.

Gu Yufelt that his heart was broken into pieces. He thought that Jiang Rongye didn’t like boys, that’s why he didn’t make it obvious. It’s good enough to be friends. Although he was somewhat sad, there was nothing he could do about it. In the end, this guy actually likes men too, and there is no time to be happy because he found that the other person already has someone he likes.

Gu Yu was so sad for a while that he couldn’t eat or sleep, and he lost a large amount of weight.

Later, his family also moved, but it happened to be next door to Jiang Rongye. So they entered the predicament of couldn’t get away from each other in the summer and winter vacations. Gu Yu hold back and dare not to confess, but he couldn’t hold back his thoughts of approaching Jiang Rongye. After frequent visits and contacts, they gradually became familiar again.

There was a time when their families asked them about their love relationships. Gu Yu hastily shook his head and said that it was too early while Jiang Rongye said seriously that he had someone he likes. Their families kept ridiculing which girl wants to be his wife, but he did not say a word. Sitting and listening at one side, Gu Yu sadly took an apple to nibble.

When everyone was gone, only Gu Yu and Jiang Rongye were left in the room. Gu Yu was nervous and abruptly asked who Jiang Rongye liked. He waited and wished that he can slap himself. Then he heard the other party’s answer.

“You have seen him, it’s Xu Nan.”

Only heaven knows that his heart ached. He held back for a long time without saying a word, then he heard Jiang Rongye asked him did he disgusted by it. Gu Yu listened and anxiously said that he also likes men.

They strangely silent for a little while. Jiang Rongye nodded blankly and didn’t speak further.

Afterward, Gu Yu knew that Jiang Rongye had an unrequited love with Xu Nan. However, Xu Nan was truly a straight guy who was as straight as a pole. He had a girlfriend since high school, and they were deeply in love with each other. As for that day, he was also dragged to make up the quota. The reason was if he went to the gathering, Jiang Rongye would go too. And if Jiang Rongye participated, more girls would come.

Gu Yu thought about he and Jiang Rongye, in addition to Xu Nan, this is simply a dog blood romance movie! I like you, you like him, he likes her! It’s too much dog blood!

Back to the present, Jiang Rongye sought Gu Yu and told him to come out of the closet together. In fact, it was because Xu Nan and his girlfriend who had been in love for several years broke up. Jiang Rongye looked at the hard-to-come opportunity and determined to pursue others. But the other person was a straight man, and it’s a bit wrong to persuade him to be gay. Besides, if the two of them become genuine afterward, the family will still in trouble.

So in order to smooth out the way for the future, Jiang Rongye sought Gu Yu, who was similar to him but had no love interest.

“So, your idea is to cheat your parents and tell them that we are a pair, so they will be prepared to accept that you are gay. Later, when you pursue Xu Nan, you will tell your mother that we broke up, that way Xu Nan did not have to spend time to be accepted by your parents?”

Looking at Jiang Rongye and nodded, Gu Yu’s mind was blank. He was dying to throw the cup in his hand to his face, then he heard the man said seriously. “Anyway, you will come out sooner or later.”

Gu Yu’s hand that holding the cup was trembling. Why does that mean that he will come out sooner or later? Whether he came out is none of his business! Why does he want him to be wronged to pave his way? Does he think of him as a cushion to step on? He really misunderstood this person. He used to think that Jiang Rongye was a loyal person. He didn’t expect that for the sake of a person that has been yet his, he would sacrifice his brother!

Jiang Rongye saw that Gu Yu lowered his head for a long time and did not speak. He knew that he was inhumane to do this. Of course, he wouldn’t force him. If Gu Yu was unwilling, it would be fine. After all, it was his business. Gu Yu didn’t have a dutu to help him.

“If that’s not good, even if…”

“Okay, I’ll come out with you.”

Gu Yu felt that he was cheap, too cheap! In order to be able to get along with Jiang Rongye more, he actually agreed to be a stepping stone, what a great self-esteem! But thinking about it, just as Jiang Rongye said, he will come out of the closet sooner or later. It won’t be in a short while, and to do that with Jiang Rongye, it could be regarded to make up for his sad unrequited love for the past years.

“Huh?” Jiang Rongye stunned for a moment, then he looked at Gu Yu with a rare expression.

Gu Yu saw his look and his heart felt sour. Gu Yu glared at him with his lips pursed, “I said I’ll come out with you! Are you deaf?” Seeing Jiang Rongye finally recovered, Gu Yu continued, “I’m not helping you in vain! You have to sponsor me on a trip after this is done as a repayment!”

“OK.” *This work is translated by Mayrezzz16521.wordpress.com

Jiang Rongye agreed without hesitation. Gu Yu pouted, took a glance at Jiang Rongye’s appearance, and sighed secretly in his heart. Damn this Mr. Perfect, he didn’t even ask him where he wants to go before immediately agreed. What if he wants to go abroad? Or travel around the world?

In fact, Gu Yu doesn’t like traveling, and never consider it. He has lived for twenty-five years, most of it was spent at home. He writes novels so his workplace is at home. He could count the number of times he went out throughout the year. How could he like traveling! As for the request, he was only afraid that he would be unhappy when he saw Jiang Rongye and Xu Nan’s love and sweetness.

They rarely come to such a formidable place like the cafe. Gu Yu started regretting why he didn’t order a cup of coffee earlier. He only ordered a glass of water, and most of the water was given to Jiang Rongye this bastard.

Too bad!

“Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”

Gu Yu came with the crowded buses. He was not Jiang Rongye who was a rich and handsome man. He only has Benz three or four years after graduation, never advancing towards the path of wealthy and influential son-in-law. Mother Gu always used this to criticized Gu Yu, saying that their family was humble, and how powerful Jiang Rongye is. Gu Yu couldn’t bear it every time he heard it. Not only he won’t have a son, but his mother also won’t have a grandson!

He totally forgot that if he won’t have a son, his mother will never hold her grandson.

On the way, Gu Yu supported his head against the car window and stared outside without saying a word. When they reached the downstairs of the neighborhood, Gu Yu was awakened by Jiang Rongye. Gu Yu was somewhat sleepy on the way home, which made him a bit muddle-headed, thinking about going home to sleep first. He dragged himself out of the car, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Rongye on the other side also get out of the car.

“Xiao Yu, Xiao Ye, how are you two together?”

Gu Yu narrowed his eyes and saw two familiar figures came head-on. Gu Yu realized that these two were Mother Gu and Mother Jiang who had called a moment ago.

Seeing the two came, Gu Yu and Jiang Rongye greeted them together. Mother Jiang once again ask how the two been together just now. Normally speaking, Gu Yu always stayed at home either writing or sleeping while Jiang Rongye should be working in the company.

Gu Yu did not know how to answer for a moment, it is impossible to say that he was pulled by Jiang Rongye to discuss the matter of coming out of the closet to you all, right? While struggling with what to say, Gu Yu’s shoulder was suddenly grasped by a big hand, and another hand was pressed above his chest. A familiar yet unfamiliar man’s smell poured into his nose, almost wrapping his entire being.

“I and Xiao Yu are dating.”

Gu Yu dumbfounded and immediately resisted, but the strength of the hand on his shoulder increased, unable to break free at all. Both Mother Gu and Mother Jiang looked at the ambiguous posture of the two people in front of them, their expression somewhat dull. Mother Gu extended her finger in disbelief and stuttering to ask, as this moment she and Mother Jiang were unconvinced.

“You…you two…?”

“Mom, Aunt Gu, I and Xiao Yu are dating.” Jiang Rongye replied very calm. As if afraid the two in front of him won’t believe it, he also leaned down and kissed Gu Yu’s cheek, the kiss was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water(2) on Gu Yu’s soft face. The originally upright Gu Yu was gone, the kiss caused his mind to be completely blank.

WTF!
