Perfect Match - Two Men's Love - Chapter 12

12
“I refuse.” Ri Ye’s gaze once again swept onto Yi Xiuwen’s face, but with a certainty, he said, “You won’t tell Min Xiangnan.”
Yi Xiuwen didn’t expect Ri Ye to be so dry, and for a moment, he couldn’t respond.
He leaned back in his chair, hanging his head, smiling bitterly, yes, how could he tell Min Xiangnan, this fight was finally his loss. It wasn’t that he couldn’t do it, but what he could have easily done he didn’t want to do himself. He didn’t want Ri to get farther and farther away from him, and only he knew that Ri was …… no longer an existence that could be replaced casually.
“I’ve always felt that we fit together very well as far as bedmates go, and you don’t reject me.”
Ri nodded, “Indeed.” They did fit well in bed, but if they were just mere strangers, he wouldn’t have minded keeping the bedmate relationship, but this person was Yi Xiuwen, and he could clearly feel the man’s gaze resting on him.
He paused before saying, “But I know that you don’t just want a bedmate. You already know my secret, and I don’t think …… I need to come and emphasize how important this secret is to me.”
Seeing that Yi Xiuwen didn’t say anything and was just silent, Ri Ye pondered for a long time before saying, “YOU deserve better.”
Ha.
So what You are the best.
Yi Xiuwen raised his head and looked deeply at Ri Ye, “It’s true that I can’t treat you as a bedmate anymore, and I won’t give up.” He suddenly just smiled, “I don’t begrudge my fondness for you, unless …… one day this feeling disappears.”
Ri Ye didn’t put too much stock in what he said, he did believe that Yi Xiuwen meant what he said at this moment, but love was something that could have come in an instant, but could also disappear in an instant. The beginning of himself and him was not pure in the first place, Yi Xiuwen was interested in him, to now say that he likes him, who knows how long it can last, when he goes back to the United States, there will be a new object to appear, I believe that soon he will forget himself.
“It’s better to eat first, at least in the future when you think of this restaurant you can think of more than just Brother Xiang Nan, there’s also me, Yi Xiowen.” Yi Xiuwen’s smile was so bright that Ri Ye felt that his eyes were stung a little at that moment.
When they finished eating and walked out of the small restaurant the surroundings had become very cold, the already dark path reflected the faint shadows of the two men, Yi Xiuwen looked at Ri Ye and asked, “Still want to walk?”
“No, recollection time ends here.”
“It’s still new to me.” Yi Xiuwen stretched his arm and pointed to the small gate of the University of S in the distance, and the sporadic lights, “Show me around, only passed by here when I was a kid, and if I hadn’t left the country, the University of S might have been my alma mater as well.”
Ri Ye didn’t refuse anymore and walked a few quick steps ahead to lead the way.
Yi Xiuwen hitched his shoulder to slow down his steps.
Lai Ye removed his hand from his shoulder and resumed his usual cold demeanor: “It’s not too early, there’s no way to stroll through the entire ……”
“Just go to the place where you feel you have the most memories.” Yi Xiuwen knew that this was the place where Ri Ye and Min Xiangnan had studied and lived together for four years, and it was these four years that made Ri Ye fall deeply in love with Min Xiangnan, and this place should be filled with their memories everywhere.
Ri Ye’s expression was a bit stiff, and his tone of voice was also a few points colder: “There’s nothing to reminisce about.”
Yi Xiuwen slowed down his steps, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, saying, “Let me guess …… Well, the library? The rooftop? The back of the mountain? The playground? Or that lake?”
He deliberately slowed down his speech, just so he wouldn’t miss the subtle expression on Lai Ye’s face.
Sure enough, when he spoke of the rooftop, Lai Ye’s expression was different.
“Let’s go to the rooftop, it’s a nice day today, we should be able to see quite a few stars.”
Yi Xiuwen’s voice became muffled as he spoke, and Ri Ye’s thoughts drifted away all of a sudden, that teaching building was for the College of Fine Arts, Min Xiangnan dragged him to the rooftop one night and ran to the rooftop, offering him a treasure to show him his new discovery, the rooftop was installed with a floor light, long like a walkway, and when the light underneath was also switched on in the evening, a triangular-shaped shadow would be formed at the end of that walkway from mid-air towards the ground, Min Xiangnan Min Xiangnan was so excited about this discovery that he asked Li Ye to walk with him into the shadow, and asked him if he had a sense of sight of the gods descending from the heavens.
In the same place, that man said to himself, “I will protect you for the rest of your life.”
He still remembered the sound of his own heartbeat when he handed his hand to Min Xiangnan.
“How to go?” Yi Xiuwen asked, and Ri Ye’s trance-like demeanor cleared as Yi Xiuwen repeated it again.
The body had led the way first, and it didn’t take long to get there.
This place hadn’t changed at all, that place would still have the same view, but even if it was the same view, it wasn’t the same mood or the same people when they came to see it again.
“Ah, the view is so open, I regret not bringing my camera.” Yi Xiuwen stretched his body and took out his cell phone from his pocket, “I have to commit to taking pictures with my cell phone.”
He took out his cell phone and set it up a few times, taking a few pictures.
Lai Ye’s expression was a bit confused, but his footsteps didn’t stop, and he kept walking until he reached the patch of shadows.
“Lai Ye!”
Yi Xiuwen suddenly shouted at him, pressed the back of his head and kissed him deeply.
Lai Ye was startled by this sudden kiss, the other person’s strength was surprisingly strong, he couldn’t break free at all, that person persistently kissed, almost taking away his breath, and kissed him until he couldn’t even catch his breath, his face was a little red, before he let go of him.
He sucked in a big breath and looked at Yi Xiuwen incredulously, “Are you crazy?”
“Ha, is there a deep memory?” Yi Xiuwen looked at his slightly distressed appearance and said, “I think I’ve probably succeeded in overwriting your memories of being here.”
All the emotions swept away in this moment, Ri Ye instead felt much more relaxed and didn’t want to linger in this place any longer, he waved his hand, “Let’s go, go back.”
Yi Xiuwen hooked his lips behind him where he couldn’t be seen and didn’t chase after him, slowly following behind him.
Parking the car once again under Lai Ye’s house Yi Xiuwen threw out the question from that time, “You don’t invite me up to sit down?”
Li Ye didn’t answer him and got out of the car. Yi Xiuwen bristled, it seems that there is no chance today, and when he was about to start the car, Li Ye bent down and knocked on the windowpane.
Yi Xiuwen rolled down the window, Ri Ye was still in a bent position, his eyebrows slightly raised.
“Didn’t you say you were going up?”
Yi Xiuwen’s current feeling was like being told that he had suddenly won the lottery, the words came out of his mouth, “Of course.” Only afterward did he somewhat regret that he hadn’t made his emotions too obvious when he answered.
Once a person likes another person more, they can’t help but be led by the nose.
Yi Xiuwen involuntarily pressed his chest as he followed Ri Ye up the stairs, it’s not just going up a flight of stairs, why is he so nervous that his heartbeat has become faster.
In the elevator in such a small space Li Ye did not look at the elevator door reflected in the scene, Yi Xiuwen’s subtle movements naturally can not escape his eyes, did not say anything, only in the elevator to arrive at the footsteps and accelerated.
Both of them had a feeling of going home together as they stood in the doorway, but this thought was quickly put behind both of them.
Yi Xiuwen stared intently at the front door of Li Ye’s house, he knew how much Li Ye valued his home for this private space, and even though Li Ye had just rejected him, this was undoubtedly a big step forward in the relationship between the two of them.
It seemed that Ri Ye didn’t reject him as much as he thought.
The black-painted door slowly pulled open in front of him, letting in the light from inside.
“Come in, the slippers are here.” Lai Ye pointed at Yi Xiuwen’s feet, reminding him to change his shoes.
Yi Xiuwen who finally stood in Li Ye’s home looked around carefully, very different from what he had imagined, Li Ye’s home did not have much of a living atmosphere, the entire decoration was based on a minimalist style, and the colors were mainly blue and black, looking really cold and hard. Sure enough, this person also does not look like a homey type, just did not expect his home to be such a cold and freezing touch.
“When are you going to see? Don’t you want to come over and sit?” Lai Ye made tea from the kitchen and saw Yi Xiuwen poking at the door like a telephone pole, this person has always been familiar with himself, but today how to be quite formal.
Yi Xiuwen snapped out of his thoughts and walked over to the sofa, sitting down beside Lai Ye.
“Has Brother Xiang Nan ever come to your house?” Yi Xiuwen coldly ventured out, and Lai Ye’s expression that was originally with a smile was instantly replaced by helplessness.
“Of course I’ve come, hehe, and many times.” Ri Ye leaned back on the sofa with some relaxation, it had to be said that even though he had just rejected Yi Xiuwen, it was at some unknown time that he had slowly drawn closer to each other, and there were some emotions that showed themselves easily.
“…… “Yi Xiuwen first felt some emotions named uncomfortable inside because of these words, but on second thought, the emotions became high again.
The fact that he could enter this room meant that ……. himself and Brother Xiang Nan could still be equated, right? At the very least, he himself could be categorized as a close person, even if in some ways they were indeed very …… not just close, that should be intimate.
After drinking a cup of tea, there was another conversation about some unrelated topics.
Ri Ye talked a lot more than he remembered from before.
Maybe it was because they started exercising as soon as they met, causing Yi Xiuwen to think that Li Ye was silent except when he was actively moving.
For two people to be able to sit and drink tea together like this without doing anything, and in Li Ye’s home, it was really a bit of a trance.
“You should go back.”Lai Ye’s eyes signaled the clock, it was already close to eleven o’clock
“Won’t you stay with me for the night?” Yi Xiuwen suggested half-jokingly.
“I’ll give you a ride.” Lai Ye had already stood up first, invariably putting pressure on Yi Xiuwen.
