They could still hear others hoarsely singing from other private rooms here. Footsteps soon came to their ears, and someone was using the bathroom. Straight Guy was so nervous that he held his breath in case they were caught. Staring at him, Glasses Guy was attracted to him and thereby approached him to bite his lips. Since he didn’t dare to refute back, Glasses Guy took enough advantage of him.

Not until the one went out did he use his strength to push Glasses Guy away, opening the door, and ran outside. Glasses Guy hadn’t expected him to behave so fiercely, thus Glasses Guy hurriedly caught him by grabbing his hand and said in a louder voice, “Yangyang!”

As he staggered, Glasses Guy took the chance to hold him into his arms. “What’s wrong with you?”

He glared at Glasses Guy. The latter felt that he was like a little furious animal. When he got angry, he made Glasses Guy’s heart ache rather than feel scared. “I can’t tell,” He talked incoherently because he was seized with all kinds of emotions. “I don’t like men…I don’t know…I’m okay if you don’t like me, and you don’t need to try liking me. Besides, I can also dislike you, too. It’s OK.”

Never before had Glasses Guy felt panicked like at the moment. He felt he did something wrong again. His heart fiercely twitched when Zhou Yang said so, as if something important would be never found back once he lost it. “Zhou Yang, can we calm down?”

Glasses Guy stroke Straight Guy’s back like pacifying a little kitten and said with a tone full of begging, “Please, don’t do that! Don’t say that! Can we calm down first?” Straight Guy kept silent and took several deep breaths to stop himself from crying. He really found love a difficult issue and couldn’t understand girls’ minds, neither did he apprehend the boys’.

Having watched her little brother dragged away, Elder Cousin originally wanted to chase after them but ended up being stopped by a little girl. Thus, they had a fierce discussion about the lipsticks’ color tones and how they could affect the yellow and fair skins. After a while, she finally recalled that she was here on a mission, which was to help her little brother save his face instead of discussing the cosmetics with the little girl, for her little brother had been bullied by his ex-girlfriend.

Now the question was, where was his ex-girlfriend?

The private room was crowded with people, so she casually asked, “Well, who is Zhou Yang’s ex-girlfriend? Can you point at her for me?”

The onlookers, who had been already confused by the communication between her and the little girl, eventually found a chance to make themselves useful and pointed at the little girl in unison.

Vileplume Cousin:? ? ?

The little girl: well, then, I…

Glasses Guy was always confident in his academic study and career. As long as he made efforts, he would always get what he wanted. But, he was deeply frustrated by Straight Guy’s reaction and was even reminded of the bad memories in his childhood. He was not the Yan Jingnan who always got everything under control, but a helpless teenager years ago who begged his quarreling parents for attention.

He gradually untied the hand holding the little Straight Guy’s hand. “Sorry…”

Having stared at him for a long time, Straight Guy found him somewhat wrong, thus he wanted to say something but held himself back. Straight Guy then walked toward the private room after hesitating for a while. Glasses Guy didn’t follow him, so he suddenly walked back after taking a few steps and stood before Glasses Guy with his fists clenched tightly.

Since he wasn’t brave to look at Glasses Guy, he quickly said with his head bowed down, “But, but I was happy before. When I was with you, I…I was very delighted, so I wish it was real. If you’re still lying to me, you might mock me in your heart. But, I still want to say I like you. I like you, so I hope you didn’t lie to me…”

Glasses Guy felt surprised first, then stunned and moved with tears welling up in his eyes. Straight Guy felt his ears flaming with shyness upon finishing those words. “I…I’m still angry. I’ve not figured it out, but I have to make myself clear. Uh, so…Well, forget it. That’s all!” Having faltered for a while, he didn’t know what a conclusion he wanted to draw. He had given vent to his fierce emotions but felt embarrassed after calming down a little bit. He then turned around and really wanted to escape this time.

Glasses Guy just grabbed his hand without forcing him to turn his head around and said, “Zhou Yang…” He moved his throat but didn’t know how to speak out the words at the tip of his tongue. Despite being a hypocrite at heart, he could always pick the right things to say as required by the situation. However, he wasn’t good at showing his true feelings. They were so fragile that they would be at the risk of being damaged once he spoke them out.

Straight Guy allowed Glasses Guy to hold his hand without stopping him and then couldn’t help turning his head around after waiting for Glasses Guy for a while and said, “What do you want to say?”

As Glasses Guy was about to say something, an angry female voice chipped in. “Zhou Yang, come here!”

Straight Guy taught Glasses Guy a love lesson just now. However, as soon as Elder Cousin appeared, he quickly turned obedient like a chameleon. “Sister…what are you doing here?”

“Untie your hands.”

Their hands were originally not held tightly. But when this intimidating Elder Cousin showed up, they interlocked their hands, which greatly pissed her off. “I put so much effort for this meet up that I even washed my hair and came out with you. And you did this to me?”

Straight Guy stretched out the other hand to hold her hand, but she didn’t buy it. “Does your mother know you’re gay?”

【277】

The little girl secretly stuck her head out to look at the scene she had long looked forward to seeing with her bright eyes. Seeing Elder Cousin look at her, she weaved her hands and made a gesture of “cheering her up”. Elder Cousin twisted her lips’ corners and wanted to smile but held back her smile upon seeing her softhearted brother and the other boy who seemed to be his gay partner, too.

Glasses Guy had been heartened by the little Straight Guy and was full of love and peace now. Having made sure she was a sister, not his rival, he was in the mood to face her and thereby said while taking the initiative and standing in front of Straight Guy, “Nice to meet you! Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Yan Jingnan, Zhou Yang’s…boyfriend.” He felt a little strange, for he hadn’t officially told others his relationship with Straight Guy before, so now he felt somewhat shy after frankly saying so.

Confronted with his cousin’s eyes meaning that “you’ll be screwed if you admit it. It’s not late for you to disassociate from him and bend your knees to beg for my forgiveness”, Straight Guy shyly added with his voice down, “He was.” He admitted it subtly with this response.

Elder Cousin was so angry that she panted heavily and then said in a subdued voice, “Zhou Yang, this is not a joke at all. I can let you go today, because I can’t roll my eyes at you with my contact lenses on. You promise me to disassociate from him and won’t contact him anymore, so I won’t tell your mother about this. If you dare to do something in front of your classmates, then nobody will help you out.”

Glasses Guy never thought that Vileplume Cousin was a false rival but a real roadblock. Now that Straight Guy, who was forced by her to make a statement, looked extremely twisted, Glasses Guy felt more nervous, for he was afraid that Straight Guy would say something cruel.

With their hands interlocked tightly, Straight Guy looked at him and then her, withdrawing his hand from Glasses Guy’s. The latter’s heart couldn’t help sinking.

He approached her ears and whispered something. Subsequently, she asked with her eyes blinking and thick and long eyelashes flashing, “Are…are you sure?”

He nodded with his face blushed.

She looked at Glasses Guy with incredibility and took several deep breaths to calm herself down. “All right, Zhou Yang. Way to go! That’s all for today and we’ll settle scores some other day.” He maturely nodded his head, and Elder Cousin looked at them with surprise and still found it incredible.

Having seen that she easily let go of them today, Glasses Guy thought to himself that Straight Guy must have resorted to all means to buy them some time just like Domineering Guy, so he was very touched. However, what he didn’t know was…Straight Guy said to his sister, “Sister, don’t make a scene here. I’ve already slept with him.”

【279】

Elder Cousin still felt it unbelievable, mainly because Glasses Guy, who was like a dressed-up beast, didn’t look like a pushover. But based on the tone of her brother, it seemed that it was her brother that was taking advantage of a good boy, which made her even feel guilty. When she looked at the gentle Glasses Guy again, she had a very different thought from that at the beginning.

“I’ll deal with you when we’re back home.” She stretched out her hand to him with the back of her hand upward, showing the fingernails she just manicured, one of which was attached with artificial diamonds. After some thoughts, she said, “Go back to the private room first and don’t let your classmates see anything unusual.”

He hurriedly took her hand and whispered, “Sister, what is that on your fingernail?” Then, he dug it out.

She was about to say something but said nothing in the end. Having sadly glanced at her brother and “sister-in-law”, she felt that her brother did a good deed by excluding a wrong option for all women.
