Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Ye Yao found out that he was in love with his friend Lu Xun.
They ate and slept together, were almost inseparable, and were each other’s best friends.
From what he has learnt over the years, Lu Xun is a straight man of steel, and because of his good looks, he is very attractive to guys with a male s*xual orientation.
Whenever such a person appeared, Lu Xun would cut them off without a second thought. Even if he was a good friend before, he would still blackball them without any hesitation, keeping them completely out of his world.
To preserve this friendship, Ye Yao minimised the time he spent with Lu Xun, a relationship that should not have been discovered.
Lu Xun wanted to travel alone with him, but he refused.
Lu Xun wanted to take a bath with him, but he refused.
Lu Xun wants to sleep with him, but he still refuses.
……
Ye Yao managed to reduce his contact with Lu Xun, but one day, when he was alone at home, he was blocked by Lu Xun.
The man who was always cheerful and sunny to him now had a horrible dark face and pinned him against the wall.
“Hiding from me?” Lu Xun laughed coldly, “If you can’t give a proper reason …… you can’t blame me for following you every minute of every day.”
Ye Yao confesses in part.
He tells Lu Xun that he likes men, but does not say that he likes Lu Xun.
Lu Xun, who shunned homosexuality like a snake, gave him exceptional treatment.
Not only does he not stay away from him, he takes him to the movies and tries to straighten him out.
“What’s so great about smelly, hard men, it’s disgusting.” Lu Xun put his arm around Ye Yao’s shoulders and pointed at the man working hard on the computer screen with one hand, saying to Ye Yao, “It’s hard and smelly, let’s not like men anymore, okay?”
Ye Yao was silent for a moment: “You’re right about everything, but …… I’m the one down there.”
Lu Xun was stunned, and then fled.
Ye Yao thought his friendship with Lu Xun would end here, but at one of the social events, in the darkness, he was wrapped up in a familiar embrace.
The usually casual voice was now full of anger: “How dare you let another man touch you?”
**
Ye Yao finally understood.
Lu Xun, who was straight, had become gay without Lu Xun knowing it himself.

- The intensity of Lu Xun's love for Ye Yao is so astounding. That man would do everything for Ye Yao's well-being. My god. I need a man like him.

- I love, love, love how the author wrote Lu Xun's journey in overcoming his internalized h*mophobia and accepting his s*xual orientation.

- I see where other readers who didn't like this novel are coming from. For me, I know straight people in my life who reject flirty advances from anyone other than their partner, which is why I don't consider Lu Xun's behavior toxic.

- My opinion obviously is not against readers who have trauma with h*mophobia. Their decision to dislike this web novel is totally valid. I also avoid reading romance novels with r*pe, ab*se, and tragic endings since those themes disturb my mental health as someone who's closeted.

- I love how Ye Yao was realistically level-headed for a university student. Obviously, everyone has gotten/will eventually get duped by a fake friend or a deceitful lover at some point in their lives, but I hate when authors write the MC or ML as having little to no common sense at all. It's funny maybe for one or two scenes, but to have their personality written as unnecessarily s*upid with no development turns me away from reading the material.

Random thoughts:Lu Xun deciding to challenge his internalized h*mophobia than to live in a world where he couldn't see Ye Yao, talk with Ye Yao, touch Ye Yao... if a man can't love me like this then I don't want it (ToT)
I can relate so much to the way he keeps to himself, and how he suppressed his feelings for Lu Xun. As a closeted gay person, you learn to suppress your feelings like it's second nature, which is a double-edged sword: you sharpen your self-awareness and are less likely to wear rose-colored glasses, but at the same time you kinda get numb and find it challenging to be optimistic in your romantic pursuits.
Ye Yao's firm determination in distancing with Lu Xun is so relatable. I personally would've done the same if I was in his shoes.
Sure, by the end he still has some aversion to other queer men but hey, I'd like to think it's being faithful to his personality of "no one is allowed to get closer to me than I am with Ye Yao unless they're my relatives or Ye Yao's relatives, otherwise they can only be my casual acquaintances"
The author wrote him to be someone with a weird, sharp sense of "this person is trying to flirt" radar, so it makes sense to me.
painful yearning for Lu Xun, and Lu Xun's mental and emotional agony in having Ye Yao hide from him. Man, I read this sh*t twice and I still could feel pangs in my chest everytime I read Ye Yao's and Lu Xun's thought processes of angst *chef's kiss*
noticing that Lu Xun being secretive and clingy are potential, realistic red flags was so good! What I appreciate is the author not only showing Ye Yao recognizing the issue, but also making sure Ye Yao communicates and addresses them.
You cannot fix problems in friendships or romantic relationships by just identifying them and keeping them in your heart... you have to speak out and listen, and your partner must do the same. It shouldn't be you against your partner, but you
as a couple
against the problem (or potential problem). This novel beautifully illustrates that!
Also, it shows that there's nothing wrong with having kinks as long as you communicate with your partner! Even couples with the same level of s*x drives (which usually decreases the chances of having issues initiating/planning sexy times) still need to communicate!
quick-witted Lu Xun and Ye Yao are! It just helped solidify their romance for me. It's nice to read about romance BL characters who are not only well-written as individuals, but also well-written as a couple. Chemistry is so important!

Thank you for the translators at Chrysanthemum Garden for sharing this gem with non-Chinese speaking readers! I will definitely read this again and again :)Ye Yao's and Lu Xun's parents being supportive is so heartwarming!
mini-stories (Lu Xun getting amnesia and a parallel universe where Lu Xun's the one who's gay first) but I wish we also got more of Lu Xun and Ye Yao being domestic post-university without the amnesia :P Yes, I know, I'm being greedy...
