SC Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Moonlight shone on Yun Muye’s face, making him look beautiful and gentle. Yun Muye’s smile couldn’t help but remind Duan Sirong of him three years ago.

But now, the hands of time had already moved to between seven and eight o’clock. Everything overlapped with those years again. It was still that person, still that soul.

Duan Sirong stared at Yun Muye in front of him, his eyes full of affection, like a butterfly finally waiting for its flower: “I’ve been waiting for these words for a long time. I didn’t expect…”

Yun Muye tilted his head: “Didn’t expect what? Didn’t expect that I would fall in love with you so quickly?”

Duan Sirong touched his head, looking slightly adorable: “Yes, I really didn’t expect it.”

Yun Muye turned around and slowly opened his arms. A gust of cool wind blew towards Yun Muye’s body, like a brief and quick embrace.

“Duan Sirong, I really want to find someone who truly likes me, someone who treats me well. And this shadow seems perfect to have the three words Duan Sirong engraved on it.”

Yun Muye walked forward, his heart beating rapidly because of Duan Sirong. He turned his back to Duan Sirong and said, “What are you spacing out for? Let’s go home!”

Duan Sirong didn’t respond to him, and Yun Muye wasn’t surprised, because Duan Sirong had already responded with a hug.

He gently held Yun Muye in his arms, both affectionately and carefully.

Duan Sirong was taller than Yun Muye, so at this moment, he had buried his head in Yun Muye’s dark and thick hair. Yun Muye’s hair emitted a gardenia fragrance, which was very pleasant.

Yun Muye’s ears were already very red. Even though his friends and family had hugged him like this before, this kind of hug felt as if he was surrounded by warmth, and several deep-sea fish floated to the surface and slowly swam across his face.

“Okay… it’s not like I won’t let you hug me in the future, let go… Hey! Where are you touching?”

Duan Sirong released his arms from around Yun Muye’s waist: “Let’s go out for a late-night snack later, and call Liu Lan and the others too.”

Yun Muye: “What? Are you going to make a public declaration?”

“I’d like to, but it depends on whether you’re willing.”

This kind of knowingly asking tone was very Duan Sirong.

Yun Muye brushed his hair: “Tell your parents, and I’ll tell mine. ‘Brother Tiger’s BBQ’ at eight o’clock.”

Duan Sirong nodded and walked back to the neighborhood with Yun Muye.

As soon as Yun Muye got home and closed the door, he immediately turned on his phone. At this time, there was no information in the group chat he had created with his three friends. Yun Muye found that someone had changed the group chat name from “Four Heroes Storming Hanyang” to “Remember to Add People to the Group (Yun Muye).”

Yun Muye: “…” It was as if they were about to directly say that person’s name.

Yun Muye flipped through his friends list for Duan Sirong’s WeChat, but couldn’t find it after searching for a long time. It was then that he remembered… he had blacklisted him long ago.

Muye: I don’t have Duan Sirong’s WeChat.

Invincible Liu: @Xin, late-night snack?

Xin: Of course!

Muye: …

Muye: Um, let’s go to Brother Tiger’s BBQ.

Guo Xi: ???

Guo Xi: @Muye, okay, if I didn’t guess wrong, Duan Sirong is coming too, right?

Muye: Stop talking nonsense, meet at the entrance at eight o’clock.

Yun Muye turned off his phone without even bothering to see if these people replied.

In room 402 on the fourth floor, the white light from the chandelier shone on Duan Sirong’s face. A small hidden camera was stuck to the lampshade.

Duan Sirong’s mother was like this, using any means to fulfill her husband’s last wish, not giving him any privacy.

“Mom, I’m going to a classmate’s house for tutoring today, so I’ll be back late.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

“Sirong, you’re a good boy. I hope you don’t lie to me, and don’t fall in love.” The woman’s voice sounded calm, but in reality, every sentence was a threat.

“Mom, when have I ever lied to you?” Duan Sirong picked up the teacup next to him, without a trace of shock.

His eyes were fixed on the hidden camera on the lampshade, and his left finger pointed to the lampshade: “Mom, the camera probably doesn’t record clearly, do you want to change it?”

“Ah? You, you child, okay, okay, there’s only this one hidden camera at home.” The woman was obviously a little nervous.

Duan Sirong nodded obediently, but how could there only be one in the house? In this house, every place except the toilet had a hidden camera.

“Okay, that’s it, you should rest early, I’m hanging up.”

After hanging up the phone, Duan Sirong calmly took off his coat and took out the stiffener from the back of his white shirt.

“Mom, you don’t have to.” These words were transmitted to the screens of thirty or so cameras.

It was really suffocating and terrifying.

Duan Sirong changed into another coat and went out.

Brother Tiger’s BBQ was as popular as the beef noodle shop in Yun Muye’s neighborhood, with booming business.

When Duan Sirong arrived, all the seats were already full.

“Brother Sirong is here.” A pair of hands gently patted Duan Sirong’s back.

Duan Sirong turned his head and met Liu Lan’s eyes.

Liu Lan said, “Let’s go, our table is inside.”

Duan Sirong looked inside, Yun Muye was chatting with Wang Xin and the others.

Duan Sirong walked into the store.

“Yo, Duan-scholar is so handsome in that outfit!” Guo Xi gave Duan Sirong’s black coat a thumbs up.

Duan Sirong: “Thank you.”

Guo Xi patted the seat next to Yun Muye.

“Duan-scholar, sit here.”

Yun Muye was about to refuse as a formality, when Duan Sirong plopped down.

Yun Muye: “…” Okay, got the message.

Wang Xin took out two identical teddy bears from her bag and pushed them towards Yun Muye and Duan Sirong.

“We’re all very clear about your relationship. We don’t reject homosexuals. These are the couple teddy bears I got for you. I hope you like them, Duan Sirong. As for you—” Wang Xin squinted at Yun Muye.

Yun Muye took the teddy bear and looked at it: “Xin-jie gave it to me! Of course I like it!”

Wang Xin proudly stroked her hair and raised her eyebrows at Liu Lan and Guo Xi: “See, I told you they liked it.”

Yun Muye handed the other teddy bear to Duan Sirong.

Wang Xin pushed the menu to Guo Xi.

Guo Xi: “What do you guys want to eat? Just order. We’ve already agreed that Wang Xin will pay for the gifts, I’ll treat for this meal, and Liu Lan will buy us beer.”

Yun Muye raised his eyebrows: “Oh, what’s going on here today?”

Guo Xi checked the dishes on the menu. He knew very well what kind of barbecue Yun Muye liked.

“Okay, Duan-scholar, see what you want, and let Brother Yun know what you like to eat.”

Duan Sirong: “I’ll eat anything, just not spicy.”

Guo Xi nodded and handed the menu to the waiter.

Yun Muye was flipping through the photos on his phone, and Duan Sirong was also watching videos.

These two together… no one would believe it if you told them they were a couple, the scene was really too awkward!

Wang Xin, who was a huge fan of these two, quickly changed the subject: “Do you guys know about that Xue Liu?”

Yun Muye: “What? Do you want to raise one?”

Wang Xin: “I want to.”

Yun Muye shivered: “Let Guo Xi buy it for you.”

Guo Xi: “Forget it, Xin-jie, you should just buy it yourself.”

Wang Xin ate a mutton skewer: “I heard that Xue Liu’s flower language is ‘Thank you for knowing that I’m not good enough, but still loving me.'”

Yun Muye raised his eyebrows: “Such a beautiful flower language.”

Yun Muye picked a mutton skewer with more meat and put it in Duan Sirong’s bowl: “I really want to raise one.”

Duan Sirong rested his chin on his hand: “You like it?”

Yun Muye chuckled and whispered in his ear: “Nonsense.”

Liu Lan: “Waiter, bring a plate of watermelon!”

Duan Sirong took a sip of cola and touched Yun Muye’s face. The action was no longer careful, but rather bold: “The roses I gave you are almost blooming.”

Guo Xi: “Damn! This watermelon is delicious!”

Yun Muye’s eyes were rarely no longer dangerous, leaving only warmth like the sun: “You have a kind heart. Come to my house to see it when you have time.”

Wang Xin: “This watermelon is so sweet!”

Guo Xi: “Xin-jie… don’t you not like watermelon?”

Liu Lan: “What do you know! This watermelon is so fragrant!”

Yun Muye put his arm around Liu Lan’s shoulder: “Since this watermelon is fragrant, give me a bite.”

Liu Lan took a piece of watermelon and gave it to Yun Muye: “Aiya, go talk to Duan Sirong, I’m set on this CP!”

A slap landed on the back of Liu Lan’s head, and Yun Muye grabbed Liu Lan’s ear: “You motherfucker, just say what you want to say directly.”

“Ai ai ai! Don’t! Brother Yun! Brother Sirong, save me!”

Duan Sirong thought that Yun Muye looked quite handsome like this, dangerous and beautiful. After a while, he patted Yun Muye’s back, this slow movement was very familiar to Yun Muye, just like the way his mother used to do when she hadn’t left him yet. Yun Muye let go of the poor Liu Lan.

Wang Xin: “Okay, okay, hurry up and eat, all the dishes are here. Waiter, bring a few glasses of beer.”

A moment later, several glasses of beer were on the table, with bubbles floating in the yellow liquid.

Liu Lan picked up a bottle and raised it towards Yun Muye: “Brother Yun, drink one.”

Yun Muye took it, used the bottle opener to open the beer, and poured a glass for everyone.

Guo Xi, who loved excitement, took the lead in raising his glass: “Come on! To the three of us present and a couple, cheers!”
