Chapter 435 - EVERYTHING (1/2)
SHEN YI MU felt like a basin of cold water was just poured on his head. And that coldness was slowly penetrating into his veins. But before it could travel into his heart, his brain activated.
He carefully examined Jiang Yue's words. The other said that it was not possible for him to fall for someone like him. So, it's better to just forget about the whole confession.
He carefully analyzed each word and what he understood was this; Jiang Yue didn't reject him because he didn't feel the same but because he thought that he didn't suit him.
Which only meant one thing. There's still a chance for reversal!
”Brother Mu, let's just forget it, okay? We- I- I want to still be like before. Being the closest of friends is enough.”
”No.”
Jiang Yue raised his head abruptly when he said that. Although Shen Yi Mu couldn't see his expression right now, he knew that Jiang Yue must be shocked by his refusal.
”T-then, are we not even going to be f-friends anymore?” Jiang Yue asked, his voice was trembling, as if he could cry at any second.
Shen Yi Mu steeled himself to not be soft so as not to immediately coax Jiang Yue. He had to make the other understand that he was serious with his confession. That he was not mistaken about his feelings.
”Ah Yue, listen to me,” he started. ”When I said I love you, I meant it with everything in me. I love your smile, I love your sense of humor, I love the shy look on your face whenever you feel embarrassed, I love everything about you. So, you questioning me how I could possibly fall for you was like you looking down on yourself. And you're not allowed to look down at the man I fell in love with.”
He saw Jiang Yue's shoulder trembling, as if he was silently crying. He couldn't really tell because of the thick glasses that covered his eyes. But when he saw those pearl-like tears flowing down Jiang Yue's cheeks, it confirmed his guess.
Shen Yi Mu finally couldn't remain stern and he just pulled Jiang Yue into his arms, patting his back gently. ”Sshh… Ah Yue, don't cry.”
”H-how could you say those things so easily? H-how could you be so g-good to me?”
”It's not easy for me to say those things. It took me months to even summon the courage to tell you my feelings.” If Shen Yi Mu didn't see Jiang Yue crying like that and telling him not to go abroad, he might not even have that courage. ”And how could I not be good to you?”
He didn't even notice that he said that last part as if being good to him was the most natural thing. Which was probably why Jiang Yue cried even harder.
”Ah Yue, don't cry. How come you became such a big crying bag?” Shen Yi Mu said distressed while gently patting the other's back.
”Isn't this Brother Mu's fault?” Jiang Yue said wile sniffing and sobbing at the same time. ”What are you doing, falling in love with another man?”
”Well, I'm gay, so there's that,” Shen Yi Mu admitted honestly.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%5Bbl%5D_13719703905965805/everything_51948219013318642 for visiting.
Jiang Yue raised his head when he heard that. Because he was leaning on Shen Yi Mu's shoulder for quite a while now, his glasses became askew. That's why Shen Yi Mu could see his shocked expression. The flow of his tears even stopped. Probably because of too much shock.
”You—”
”Yes. So, if you think there's another guy out there who suited me more, then go ahead and reject me again.”
