Chapter 28

 

 

Upon finally reaching the company, Dumei said: "Luzhou, I have some matters to discuss with you . "

Xiao Yi sat on the sofa, slightly more awake . Not long after, Luzhou came out from the office . Xiao Yi got up, saw Luzhou's gloomy expression and asked: "What's wrong?"

Luzhou said: "No means no, I said no . "

Dumei said: "Did you ask for Xiao Yi's opinion?"

"This cannot be discussed . " Luzhou said coldly, "Go . "

This was the first time Xiao Yi witnessed Luzhou speaking to Dumei in this manner, he was obviously angry . He immediately thought of Dumei's personnel plans . Dumei said: "You must support me, Luzhou don't be like this, I am negotiating with you, why are you getting angry?"

Luzhou pushed Xiao Yi, causing Xiao Yi to stagger, and shoved him directly into the elevator . Xiao Yi was frightened, not expecting this reaction from Luzhou, he also didn't dare to ask . But not asking made it seem as if he had a guilty conscience, so he anxiously said, "What happened?"

"Nothing . " Luzhou in a simply rude tone said, "Drive!"

Xiao Yi had no choice but to concentrate on driving, Luzhou's entire person exuded a dangerous aura . Not long after exiting the car park, Xiao Yi's phone started ringing - Dumei called him . Xiao Yi wanted to pick up but Luzhou took away the phone and placed it on speaker mode . Dumei's voice rang out: "Xiao Yi?"

"Yes . " Xiao Yi replied .

Luzhou could hear everything clearly, Xiao Yi did not dare to say anything, and Dumei said: "Is Luzhou still angry?"

Luzhou was silent . Xiao Yi said: "Seems like . . . . a little . "

Xiao Yi was secretly pleading, President Du you better not expose me, just for the sake that I'm your nephew's good buddy, spare me, don't make me choose now . . . . . wu wu wu .

Dumei said: "You let him know, today's matter, I was out of line . I have always been a straightforward person, if he is not willing, then everything will go according to what he wants, it's nothing . "

Xiao Yi secretly said These words are well said, then he glanced at Luzhou . Luzhou's expression was finally a little better . Dumei said again: "Originally I wanted you to take out some time to help me form a department, but seems like Luzhou is not willing to separate from you ha ha ha, is your relationship so good?"

Xiao Yi laughed a few times, and Luzhou took a deep breath, as if he wanted to speak . Xiao Yi hurriedly waved his hand, signalling him to not say anything, then said: "Okay President Du, I understand, if there is time, and if the conditions permit, whatever you need me to do you can just say it . "

Luzhou did not expect Xiao Yi to reply so . Dumei got a steal, she was a little satisfied, gave an en, and said: "Let Luzhou not be angry, it's all trivial . "

"Okay . " Xiao Yi smiled saying, and hung up the call .

Luzhou's expression was a little uneasy, Xiao Yi couldn't help but laugh, and displeased, Luzhou asked: "What are you laughing for?"

"Laughing at us . " Xiao Yi said, "We got played by President Du . "

Initially Luzhou had no reaction over it, but after Xiao Yi said so, he realized why Dumei said what she said . Exactly, Dumei first dispelled Luzhou's doubts, then threw her own plans at Xiao Yi, to make him come to a quick decision . In this way both sides benefited, and Luzhou couldn't get angry .

"She's a cunning person . " Luzhou said, "So many people lost to her, if you go solo in the future, remember not to offend her, or she will wreck you . "

Xiao Yi kept smiling, and said: "You want to dissolve the contract Zhou Ge?'

Luzhou gave Xiao Yi a glance, and with his breath huffing he ignored him . The car was stuck in traffic again, moving like a snail . Xiao Yi really couldn't stand the roads in Beijing, even if he had money he couldn't buy roads to drive a car . Luckily Luzhou purchased 2 cars, and the car plates were different, or not they would have to be stuck on the roads due to road space rationing if they returned from midnight filming .

A while into the traffic jam, the phone suddenly rang again . It was an unknown number . Xiao Yi was baffled and wanted to reject it .

Luzhou stretched out his hand and picked up the call .

"Hello, is this Xiao Yi?" The caller asked with a jovial tone .

"You are?" Xiao Yi asked, it was a bit noisy over there and he couldn't recognize the voice .

"I'm Li Changzheng!" The caller said .

In a flash, Luzhou's and Xiao Yi's complexions changed at the same time . Xiao Yi has never had something this terrible happen in his life before, what should he do?! Luzhou's face was completely dark now, Xiao Yi simply could not predict what Luzhou's next move would be .

 "Last night, did Duma tell you?" Li Changzheng said, "The matter about partnering to open a music production company . "

"I . . . . am driving . " Xiao Yi said, "We'll talk later alright . "

"Sure sure . " Li Changzheng immediately replied: "Sorry to disturb you, I'll wait for your call . "

Li Changzheng took the initiative to hang up the call, while Luzhou had already opened the passenger door, left the car and walked away .

"Zhou Ge!" Xiao Yi said, "Let me explain! Wait!"

Xiao Yi even forgot to retrieve the car key, and chased after Luzhou, saying: "Can you give me a chance to explain!"

Luzhou walked in front with Xiao Yi chasing at the back . The skies were gray this early summer afternoon, the smoke so heavy one could choke .

Xiao Yi was in sportswear, chasing behind the tall, broad and suit-wearing Luzhou . He anxiously tried to pass a cap to Luzhou, saying: "Put on the cap first, then listen to me, hey!"

Luzhou did not take the cap, he walked to a green field, sat on the railing and stared at Xiao Yi .





"You go back . " Luzhou said, "I don't need you, you don't need to say anything . "

Xiao Yi let out a long sigh, pondered, bowed, and then knelt down in front of Luzhou . He raised his head to look at him, and earnestly pulled his hands .

"I'm apologizing to you, Zhou Ge . " Xiao Yi said, "Listen to my explanation alright, this is my fault, I did not explain clearly . . . . . "

The surrounding passers-by were immediately attracted, and curiously reached for their phones to snap pictures . Luzhou instantly gave Xiao Yi a kick and bellowed: "Scram! You think you're proposing! Really treating me like your girlfriend!"

The passers-by increased and in the meantime, Xiao Yi's body was covered in mud from the kicks .

The traffic started to move again . Luzhou flagged down a cab, got on and left .

Xiao Yi tiredly remained kneeling down on the ground thinking Fuck, Lao zi [1] is really so wretched, I got a slap when apologizing to my ex-girlfriend previously, I apologize to Luzhou now and I got kicked . . . . .

By the roadside, a car stopped .

A girl ran out of the car, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Yi, what are you doing here, quickly get up . "

That girl who was wearing high heels and in branded clothing from head to toe, stuck her hand out to pull Xiao Yi up from the ground . It was Ning Yaqing who had stopped by the company that morning .

"Yaqing?" Xiao Yi said in a daze .

Ning Yaqing made a hush gesture then pulled him into the car, only then did the passers-by disperse .

"Today Sister An was just talking about you . " Ning Yaqing said, "Something about you giving a few tickets when you hold a concert . In a blink of an eye you are kneeling on the ground by the roadside, that Luzhou seriously . . . . . "

Xiao Yi had no mood to explain, and could only exhaustedly smile at Ning Yaqing .




Ning Yaqing's car circled back, arriving in front of Dumei's company lobby . Xiao Yi got off, and arranged to meet up with Ning Yaqing when he was free . Only then did he run along the road, and amidst the endless stream of moving vehicles, boarded Luzhou's Jaguar . The traffic police had already arrived . Xiao Yi knocked his head on the steering wheel, and when he raised his head his eyes were completely red . He started the car and left .

Xiao Yi bought a pack of cigarettes in the park's vicinity, lighted it and while smoking he drove the car back . He thought of Luzhou perhaps not having any cash on himself and wanted to call him - only then did he realize his phone had unknowingly been stolen by someone . It was probably during the period of time when he left the car unlocked .

Xiao Yi searched for his laptop, luckily the bag in the backseat was not stolen .

He drove the car to the car park, went home and called Luzhou . Luzhou's phone was off .

This again, can you all not off your phones!!!!!!!!!!

Xiao Yi was simply played to death by Luzhou, he laid on the sofa and thought about the day he had broken up with his girlfriend . The strong blow this time was going to destroy him .

Every ten minutes he would drop a call to Luzhou, every single one of them went to voicemail . In the beginning, Xiao Yi would leave voicemails stating his whereabouts, telling Luzhou to call him back when he switched on his phone . Slowly the voicemails turned into listen to my explanation, don't get angry first, is your anger dissipated yet, come back home I will explain to you, it's not what you think . . . . .

"Zhou Ge . " Xiao Yi said to the voicemail inbox, "I'm sorry, firstly I am not a undercover spy sent by Li Changzheng, we only knew each other yesterday . Duma asked me out and told me he wanted to set up his own company, this was what I wanted to talk to you about yesterday night . "

"I am not planning to resign . " Xiao Yi said, "Really I am not, I was only afraid you would get angry after you knew I met Li Changzheng, so I hid it from you . This morning I wanted to call Duma but he was still sleeping, I sent him a message instead, if you don't believe me you can look through my phone . . . . No, my phone got stolen just now . "

"I . . . . . . " Xiao Yi suddenly felt that this sentence was very hard to say . He fell into a silence for some time before saying, "Really, whether you believe me or not, I have no intentions of betraying you . I love you . "

The sound of a door closing reverberated, Luzhou was back . Xiao Yi heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately stood up .

"Have you eaten?" Xiao Yi asked .

Luzhou did not answer him, he sat at the dining table . Xiao Yi went over, sat opposite to him and said: "Zhou Ge, listen to me explain, don't get angry first, I only met Li Changzheng for the first time last night , before that I had absolutely no interactions with him, Duma was the one who introduced us . He wants to set up his own company, but I did not promise Duma anything, that's why Li Changzheng called me today . . . . . . "

Luzhou raised his eyes, stared at Xiao Yi and said coldly: "What are you still doing here?"

Xiao Yi took a deep breath and said: "I had already made up my mind to reject Duma . "

"I will finalize your salary . " Luzhou said, "I will give you an additional month's pay for compensation, but you probably won't care about this little amount . The total is 65000, for March till June . I have already transferred to your card this early afternoon, you go check . "

Xiao Yi looked at Luzhou, silent .

Luzhou said: "I will give you an hour, pack your things and get out of my house . " As he was speaking, Luzhou stared at his watch, "Before 2:20pm you must leave, or else I will call the security to help you move . "

Xiao Yi remained at the dining table while Luzhou stood opposite him . He was silent for a long while, before finally giving a nod, he took out his bank card from his wallet, placed it in front of Luzhou and rose to pack his things .

10 minutes later, Xiao Yi packed all his things into a bag, stood in front the door carrying that bag, then fishing out a u-disk and placed it on the coffee table .

"Your money . " Luzhou said .

"No need . " Xiao Yi said: "I feel ashamed . "

Luzhou sat on the sofa, still in his suit, lazily holding a cup and drinking water .

"What is this?" Luzhou casually asked .

"A gift for you, a little souvenir . " Xiao Yi said, "I wish you happiness, Zhou Ge . "

"Hope you succeed . " Luzhou smiled saying, "Good luck Xiao Yi, you will become famous . "





Xiao Yi's eyes tinged with redness, shivering like a miserable kid . He tried his best to control himself, then finally breathed slowly and faced Luzhou with a smile .

"I'm going . " Xiao Yi stood in front of the door saying, "Take good care of yourself . "

The sound of the door closing reverberated, leaving behind a room of silence .

Luzhou took the remote control, inserted the u-disk and watched the video Xiao Yi left for him .

That was Xiao Yi's first time following the filming crew, taken while he was accompanying him .

After the opening there was a metallic bang, followed by a prelude by Wang Fei, the lights and shadows converged, accompanying the slightly magnetic voice of Xiao Yi . Xiao Yi's singing was very good, it was the kind of clear and emotional voice, that brought along the sadness and cleanliness that were unique to men .

After he heard his voice, the past scenes of his face while he was singing in concentration, his eyebrows raised slightly, both eyes seriously looking at Luzhou's expression, his lips holding hints of a smile, flashed by in front of Luzhou .

That day Xiao Yi had just moved in, he was sneaking around, hugging the presents that were given by fans and almost thrown away by Luzhou up to the second floor, looking like an ant that was moving houses, meticulously entering the room .

Luzhou remembered back then at this very moment he was on the phone, his stomach full of anger . When he turned his head he saw Xiao Yi dragging in a customized chibi doll of him inside, when he stared at him he was between laughter and tears, and eventually did not scold him .

"Our date was never set—— I am no longer expecting——"

Xiao Yi's voice resonated in the room, Luzhou sniffed once and then harshly coughed out .

That day when they were filming in the back mountains of Hengdian, after finishing the emotional scenes, Luzhou still remembered he held Xiao Yi's hands .

"Holding your hand, growing old together . . . . . " Luzhou said .

Xiao Yi stared into Luzhou's eyes fixatedly, his face blushing in just a short while .

Luzhou clearly felt his heartbeat stop for a moment, just like a long long time ago when he was acting in his first film, as if when he first heard the director shout "Cut", his heart was hanging in mid-air, and couldn't reach the ground .

Luzhou felt breathless, he almost pressed Xiao Yi down, lowering his head intending to kiss him .

"Concentrate more . " Luzhou came back to his senses, felt his lower body react, and angrily said, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking about!"

Xiao Yi: "I . . . . shall go back to sleep, Zhou Ge . "

After Xiao Yi left, Luzhou felt incredulous, and breathed out .

Luzhou swallowed, then rubbed his nose and rose to stand in front of the dressing mirror .

He saw that he was also blushing, there was also something standing underneath his bathrobe . Luzhou immediately adjusted the robe, sat on the side of the bed for a while, looking left and right . He got up to stand in front of the window, opened it and submersed in the cold wind .

 Luzhou turned, he was almost going crazy . After a while he dashed into the bathroom and had a ice cold shower . When he came out he had calmed down slightly, but Xiao Yi came back again .

"Why did you not close the window?" Xiao Yi said, "Be careful of colds . "

Luzhou turned to glance at Xiao Yi, and hesitantly said, "Hmm . "

The next day, Luzhou really got a cold, and it was even a serious one . The entire day of filming when he faced Ning Yaqing, he seemed to be in a trance, he couldn't stop replaying the scene with Xiao Yi from last night .

"I hate that you are only a—— butterfly, you leave as quickly as you arrive——" Xiao Yi's voice rang out .

Luzhou tried his best to rub his eyes .

That day when they were driving on the highway in the dark, Luzhou smashed Xiao Yi's phone .

"Not giving——!" Xiao Yi's eyes were brimming with tears, as he shouted towards Luzhou .

Luzhou was stunned by the shout .

"Apologize to me . . . . . . " Xiao Yi shivered saying, "Then I will forgive you . . . . . . "

Subconsciously, Luzhou raised his hand, intending to hit him once more, to shout at him Look at yourself, what are you crying for! You are crazy, you . . . . .  then after some hits, his stomach filled with anger, he would press him down and kiss him fiercely .

"Are you not a man!" Luzhou finally spitted out, "Crying just because of this?!"

That day when they were back from Hengdian, half dead from tiredness, Xiao Yi switched on the lights, the room was full of warmth, breathed out a sigh of relief and said: "We are home . "

The first time someone accompanied Luzhou back home after filming, when he reached home it felt empty and it was a field of darkness . Now, it became Xiao Yi busying up and down, packing things, pouring water for him .

Luzhou suddenly felt that he had everything he ever wanted, actually it was simple, if this guy could change into a girlfriend then it'll be great . . . . . No, right now this wasn't bad either .

Luzhou showered, humming a song, then went downstairs after his bath . Xiao Yi poked his head out from the dining table beneath the stairs and said: "Zhou Ge, the cold water is on your bedside table . "

Luzhou was not wearing anything under his bathrobe, with Xiao Yi's one poke of the head, Luzhou subconsciously hardened, he thought from this angle nothing should be visible, he gave a perfunctory En, and said: "You go to sleep . "

Luzhou returned to his room and laid down on the bed . He turned, and then turned again, he keep turning back and forth, then heard the sound of the door closing from next door .

Why did he not come and say goodnight?

After a while ——





"Hey!" Luzhou yelled .

There was no answer from the outside, Luzhou yelled again: "Hey!"

"Hey!" Luzhou bellowed, "Xiao Yi!"

Luzhou's lungs almost burst from anger, he scrambled and got up, but accidentally knocked his leg against the bedside . It hurt to the point that it felt sore, he hopped a few times, stepped out into the corridor, wanting to knock on the door but he changed his mind and instead directly opened the door to head in .

In Xiao Yi's room, there was a 1m long Luzhou chibi doll pillow placed on the bed, the chibi stuff that the fans sent to Luzhou, the scarves, pillow cases, all these were haphazardly thrown on the bed . Inside the music kept flowing, Luzhou's mouth twitched as he stared at the back view of Xiao Yi .

Xiao Yi was only dressed in a pair of white boxer briefs, sitting on the swivel chair, wearing his headphones . He was staring intently at the monitor screen, and the glass door of his cabinet reflected his frontal view . A fair complexion, a lean figure with slightly muscular arms, two beautiful eyes, and some of his bangs were protruding from beneath his headphones .

Subconsciously, Luzhou touched his lower lips, almost having a nosebleed .

Xiao Yi was swaying his head to and fro, his index finger tapped thrice on the edge of the table, and started singing .

"Lips haven't—— opened . . . . . but we've—— hurt each other"

The emergence of Xiao Yi's clear voice shocked Luzhou .

Luzhou's expression was full of surprise, his eyes filled with wonder, then he laughed, never would he have thought Xiao Yi would sing so well!

He held his breath, listening to Xiao Yi complete his song, his voice seemingly blending in with the song that was currently playing . That day Luzhou saw a video with himself as the teaser on Xiao Yi's laptop screen and played it, the video was all about him .

Xiao Yi faded out the video beautifully, finished recording the entire song, his voice still a tad excited and was trembling . He continued tapping the tabletop, swerving to and fro in the chair, closing his eyes in concentration, facing Luzhou but not realizing his presence yet .

It was as if he was expecting Luzhou to bow down, and to give him an intense kiss .

 Luzhou swallowed his saliva, in that moment, his heartbeat seemed to have stopped . Xiao Yi's hair and eyebrows gave out the feeling of love when illuminated in the warm yellow light of the table lamp . Luzhou's heart seemed to want to jump out, violently ramping against his chest .

Xiao Yi opened his eyes, a face full of embarrassment quickly followed and he scrambled to close his laptop . Luzhou was between laughter and tears, he turned to return to his room, leaned on his door, closing both eyes, shaking his head and rubbed his palms violently across his face .

That day he brought Xiao Yi to the company, because of Xiao Yi's 'bringing salt' incident he laughed so hard he almost had cramps . Xiao Yi left the corridor in a puzzle .

Dumei: "That child Xiao Yi is steadfast, he also loves you, the company intends to nurture him . The last time you raised your fists at him, so I'm not too sure if he is willing to stay . "

"Not willing?" Luzhou said in a bad manner, "He . . . . . right, what is his name again?"

Lin Yao: "Xiao Yi . "

Luzhou: "Yes! Even if there is no salary, he would be willing! Do you believe that if I asked, he would have no qualms about staying?"

Dumei smiled .

Luzhou said: "He is poor to begin with, no money, I will give him 80000, with subsidies and year end bonuses, let's give him a bit more . "

Dumei said: "How many years of contract do you think he is suitable for?"

Luzhou: "How about 20 years, raise his salary a bit more if he is willing, he can sing well, but I don't expect him to enter the entertainment industry, the waters are deep, if he wants to be popular now, it will have to be through despicable means . "

Lin Yao suddenly chuckled, and Dumei laughingly said: "There is no contract that is 20 years, why don't you say 50 years, let him sell himself to you . Let's sign 10 years then . "

Luzhou had a face of unwillingness: "10 years, what will I do if he runs away?"

Dumei didn't know to laugh or to cry, and said: "You only signed 5 years yourself, you let him sign 20 years, he might not even be willing to sign 10 years . "

Lin Yao: "Our company has a lack of brokers, Luzhou you bring him along, see if he can last these few years . Once connections are made, we can let him manage a newbie . . . . . . "

As if he was struck by lightning, Luzhou sprung up, in a disbelieving voice he said: "Him?! What can he do!"

Lin Yao got a shock .

Luzhou unnaturally continued: "He can't! Don't think that his temper is good, he really doesn't know anything, he is just a waste!"

"Hush . " Dumei pointed to the door, her eyes filled with blame . Luzhou immediately toned down, watched Dumei and Lin Yao with vigilance, and defensively said: "I only want him to be an assistant, don't talk about anything else, I will pay for the salary, there is no need to transfer him to be a broker, you can find someone else, the contract will just be like this . What's so bad about being an assistant? I am not going to mistreat him, must he be as tired as a dog everyday?"

"Alright alright . " Dumei said, "As long as you are pleased . "

Dumei glanced at Lin Yao, then smiled and said: "Let Xiao Yi enter . "

Xiao Yi came in, Luzhou did not even look at him, he only cared about playing his game, he kept hanging and hanging, and couldn't pass the game .

"How many years at most?" Xiao Yi cautiously said, " President Du, I wanted to tell you . . . . . . "

Luzhou: " . . . . . . . "

Luzhou immediately got angry, he took a deep breath, raised his head to look at Xiao Yi, his heart thinking, Fuck, if not should I let you leave as and when you like?! 

"I hate that you are only a—— butterfly, you leave as quickly as you arrive——"

Spring flowers blossomed, there was a hazy mist outside the windows, and the debris of fireworks spread on the wet road . Luzhou yawned, it was early morning when he woke up in Xiao Yi's bed . Xiao Yi's entire person was wrapped around Luzhou's body, Luzhou felt short on breath, his handsome face blushing, and he swallowed hard .

There was a crisp fresh smell of a boy emitting from Xiao Yi's body, their clean ankles and pajamas covered skin rubbing on each other, along with each of their warmth, on this wet winter morning, Luzhou almost lost control of himself . Xiao Yi's breaths were close to his neck, the deeply slumbering him, his breath was even and soothing . Luzhou's heart was pounding crazily, his morning erection about to erupt .

The top of his crotch was about to explode, and it was still being pressed down by Xiao Yi's leg . He lowered his head and saw Xiao Yi in his arms, and Xiao Yi's hands hugging his waist . Xiao Yi's eyes were closed, his skin, his sleeping face, his messy short hair, they all brought a feeling of long absence .

Luzhou shut his eyes, trying to keep himself in control, and wanted to lightly push Xiao Yi's body away . Xiao Yi shifted, Luzhou immediately screwed both eyes shut, and placed his hands down . Xiao Yi woke, he opened his eyes and was embarrassed to death . Seeing that Luzhou was still asleep, he carefully loosened his hands, and turned to the other side to continue sleeping .

"Gave me a pair of hands, I rely on you, gave me a pair of eyes, just to watch you leave——"

"Even if the butterfly cannot fly across the ocean, no one will have the heart to blame——"


In the silence of the night, Luzhou's gathering ended and he reached home .

"Are you back?" Xiao Yi seemed to be lying on the sofa, facing Luzhou and said . He proceeded to get up to help him remove his jacket, then asked all sorts of questions, fussing .

"What did you eat for dinner?"

"Oh you went to sing k? Whose songs did you sing?"

"President Du called, said you should head to the company tomorrow . . . . . "

That day however, after Luzhou came home from filming, Xiao Yi was not at home . The entire day he was not beside him, Luzhou felt as if he was lacking something, "Hey" "Hey" he called out a few times, then realized Xiao Yi was still at the company composing the songs . He could only head for a shower, then lie on the bed in a daze .

After watching a movie, Luzhou got up and went to Xiao Yi's room in a frenzy, messing around with his things, and saw that he kept a bunch of photos and a few shoe boxes filled with the love letters Luzhou's fans had written in his drawers . Luzhou's lips twitched, and he let out a Tsk sound . Then, he saw the big chibi doll lying on Xiao Yi's bed, and shook hands with it .

Luzhou's hand was knocked hard by something on the doll's finger .

Luzhou: "???"

Luzhou faced the lights, and saw that the doll was wearing the diamond ring that Xiao Yi had previously bought for his ex-girlfriend, the finger was squashed till it became like half a carrot . He softly tugged .

Luzhou: " . . . . . . . "

"Give me a moment, let me pamper you, give me a lifetime, to send you away——"

"Couldn't wait till dawn, I already woke up from that beautiful dream . . . . . "




In the silence of the night, Luzhou was staring at Xiao Yi's name in his phone, a few times he wanted to dial, but he was afraid of bothering him again, and flung his phone aside .

Luzhou laid down and slept for a while, then got up again, thought about it, then sent him a few WeChat messages .

Xiao Yi replied to the WeChat messages, but Luzhou did not get the reply he was expecting, and his face filled with impatience .

Luzhou went to sleep again, and continued to toss around . In the end, with a head of frizz he got up, changed, hurriedly went downstairs, took the birthday cake that was on the dining table and drove the car out .

"Gave me a pair of hands, I rely on you, gave me a pair of eyes, just to watch you leave——"

In the spring night, thousands of flowers bloomed, whether it was the inside or outside of the door, the night lights in the corridor filled the place with a faint blue glow .

Luzhou nervously looked at Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi thought again and again, gathering his courage .

"I . . . . . . have something I want to say to you, Zhou Ge . . . . " Xiao Yi said .

Luzhou's breath stopped instantly, he stared at Xiao Yi . Xiao Yi had shut both his eyes, as if battling to come to a decision .

"I . . . . . . . I . . . . . . "

Luzhou's breath escalated .

"Just say what you want to say . " Luzhou's voice almost seemed to not belong to him .

"Couldn't wait till dawn—— I already woke up from that beautiful dream—— We are all free—— "

That day Luzhou was lying on the sofa, Xiao Yi was going crazy from excitement, and fiercely kissed Luzhou on the lips .

The moment he was kissed by Xiao Yi, Luzhou opened his eyes so wide, his heartbeat went out of control . However, Xiao Yi hollered and rushed upstairs, leaving Luzhou by himself with an entirely red face, sitting in a daze .

Xiao Yi's voice gradually faded out, and the end of the song followed . He lightly pushed against the table, spinning in the chair with both eyes closed, facing Luzhou in expectations .

As if he was expecting a kiss from him .

Luzhou closed the video, rose to head upstairs and fetched his jacket . As he was walking in the corridor his footsteps stopped, and he pushed opened Xiao Yi's door .

In the room, Xiao Yi's things had been brought away, it was neat and tidy . The chibi doll of Luzhou was still lying on the bed, its finger still wearing that diamond ring . Luzhou stayed silent for a moment, touched his phone, and switched it on . He wanted to call Xiao Yi, but instead he received a series of voicemail messages .

He stood in Xiao Yi's room, and as if Xiao Yi was right there, he was either anxious or uneasily explaining to Luzhou about the past happenings, until his tone calmed down .

"I love you . "

Xiao Yi said at the end .
