Chapter 78 - Xie Zhe X Xiao Yuxin (2/2)

Xie Zhe forced out a smile, “Hello, I am Xiao Yuxin’s friend, Xie Zhe. I just need him for something.”

Xiao Yuxin didn’t expect to see him so suddenly and was a little stunned. But his thoughts were mostly focused on the word, ‘friend’. Friend? Didn’t he say that we’re not friends? Why are we friends again so suddenly?

Xiao Yuxin couldn’t understand this two-faced act of his. Could it be that Xie Zhe doesn’t like him, and even hated him? But if he hated him, why would he go and find him so often? Wouldn’t it be better not to see him instead?

He really couldn’t understand it.

However, why he was still thinking over things, Xie Zhe had already angrily pulled him by his wrist and dragged him over to a secluded grove behind the teaching building. He pressed him against the wall with his palm next to his head and looked at him with a burning gaze. It was as if he had just done something unforgivable to him.

Finally, Xiao Yuxin couldn’t help but speak up before Xie Zhe could say anything, “Didn’t you say that we’re not friends?”

Xie Zhe who had his anger boiling all the way up to his throat and was ready to complain was caught off-guard, “When did I say that?”

“On the Friday afternoon the week before last. You said that to your classmate and I accidentally overheard.” Xiao Yuxin gave him a faint look. His eyes appeared calm but Xie Zhe could see a faint hint of grievance within it.

“I didn’t!” Xie Zhe subconsciously denied it first. But after thinking about it, he recalled why he said those words at that that time. He then furrowed his brows in annoyance and reluctantly admitted it: “I said it! That’s right. I have never treated you as my friend. But that is because I like you! I don’t want to be just a friend, I want to be your boyfriend, be together with you! I have liked you since second year but you had never noticed my feelings and I didn’t want to bother you while you were preparing for the college entrance examinations. But after almost a whole semester, you didn’t get the feeling that I was pursing you?! If I don’t like you, why would I come here everyday to find you, eat with you, hand out in the library with you or attend classes together?”

Xiao Yuxin was a little stunned by all the things that he had blurted out. Only after a while, he realised that it was a confession. With some disbelief, “……….It wasn’t because you wanted to learn? The library at our school is bigger…………”

Xie Zhe scoffed, “You think I’m coming here everyday to find you because I like your school’s library?”

Yes………But under his menacing stare, Xiao Yuxin was afraid to nod his head. He felt that his would be bitten the moment he admits it.

Xie Zhe then said: “You didn’t have any response when I pursed you, but you have feelings now that the school flower is pursing you?”

Based on his qualities, Xie Zhe didn’t think that he was inferior to the other person. But the school flower is female, and his biggest disadvantage was his gender. If Xiao Yuxin couldn’t accept a member of the same sex…. This time, he decided to just risk everything and clear everything up in one go.

Xiao Yuxin was even more confused, “The school flower is pursing me?”

Xie Zhe frowned, “You didn’t know?”

“……..I didn’t know.”

Xie Zhe was a little annoyed. He regretted saying all those things earlier.

Xie Zhe asked the question that he was most concerned about: “Are you going to be together with her?”

Xiao Yuxin was stunned. He then shook his head.

“What about me? I just confessed to you. Don’t think that you can act like you didn’t hear it.”

Xie Zhe had endured for a long time. When he finally said it, he felt immensely relieved, but he was also immediately nervous about his reply. He leaned forward and brought his face very close to Xiao Yuxin’s. It was to the point that they could breath each other’s breaths and this distance between them looked extremely ambiguous. Xiao Yuxin was completely enveloped by his shadow.

Xiao Yuxin’s mind was completely blank. His face reddened at a speed that was visible to the naked eye and it looked like it was about to bleed. His eyes trembled constantly as he tried to avoid his passionate gaze. He didn’t understand how the situation had changed so suddenly. He clearly thought that Xie Zhe hated him and they weren’t even friends but now he suddenly says………that he likes him?

It’s too unreal.

Also, it’s too close. Breathing is a little hard.

Xiao Yuxin raised his hand and wanted to push him away.

But Xie Zhe grabbed his hand and immediately interrupted his attempt to escape.

“You really didn’t notice that I like you? It’s so obvious. Didn’t you find out about Qin Xu and Jiang Yang very quickly?”

Xiao Yuxin was a little scared by this situation he is faced with and was a little tongue-tied, “That’s not the same………”

“What’s not the same? Do you hate me?” Xie Zhe persisted.

Xiao Yuxin shook his head, “No.”

Xie Zhe quietly breathed a sigh of relief. His voice was tense, but he did his best to hide his uneasiness, “Then would you be willing to try it out with me?”

Xiao Yuxin looked down and remained silent.

Xie Zhe’s heart sank a little. There was no light in his eyes. The hand supporting him on the wall also fell lifelessly.

But at this moment, Xiao Yuxin’s small voice could be heard, “……….Okay. Let’s try. But I haven’t dated before. If it’s you………..”

Xie Zhe’s eyes lit up brightly. He was both surprised and elated, “Do you mean it?!”

Xiao Yuxin nodded his head hard. He scratched his face with some embarrassment, “It’s just that I don’t know what to do when you’re dating……..”

Xie Zhe raised a big smile, “It’s okay. We can just do what we want to do.”

He was in an extremely good mood. He hesitated for a moment and said ———-

“But, there is one thing that I have always wanted to do.”

“What?”

Xiao Yuxin looked up with a questioning look. At this moment he was caught off-guard by Xie Zhe’s deep kiss. He was kissed until he was almost out of breath.

The two slender figures kissed in the corner. Under the sunlight, two long shadows gently blended together as if it could no longer be separated.
