After a easy chat, Lin Yuyan hurriedly hung up the video. Lin Yuyan was performing slightly odd immediately as he stared on the empty glass by his bedside in a daze. 

Final time, when he looked for details about boxing, he felt that it was simply him serving to a pal out, however taking a look at Gu Yaoyang’s physique this time… He had an odd feeling about it, however what does that imply? 

Was he envious? or was it one thing like… Like a sexual urge?

Lin Yuyan is just not silly. Though many issues weren’t clear to him within the first place, if the information are in entrance of him, he wouldn’t overly reject them. 

However it was very unusual. 

It doesn’t matter if he likes boys or not, but when he does, his crush shouldn’t be Gu Yaoyang, it’s simply not affordable in any respect. 

Clearly, he hated him a number of days in the past and he simply modified his angle in the direction of him slightly bit, however now he likes him? Isn’t that too simple? Though he couldn’t deny that Gu Yaoayang has many optimistic traits to him, isn’t it unimaginable for him to all of a sudden develop emotions for the opposite? 

It’s not love at first sight. 

Wait, love at first sight… Lin Yuyan hesitated for some time on these 4 phrases, then shortly shook his head.

Inconceivable,  it’s most likely as a result of they’ve ceaselessly been in contact not too long ago and him seeing Xu Ze’s pictures as effectively. It additionally coincided with the truth that he was very envious of Gu Yaoyang’s determine, so it will need to have made him yearn for it. 

“Sure?” Lin Yuyan all of a sudden grinned. Sure, this must be why!

If that’s the case, he shouldn’t contact Gu Yaoyang for a number of days. If there may be much less contact, then naturally there will likely be no extra messy ideas.

The following day, Lin Yuyan obtained up early within the morning. He was going to see an artwork exhibition not removed from his dwelling, so he may go there by bike. 

The bicycle within the storage was purchased a number of days in the past, however he hasn’t ridden on it a lot. In the present day, he moved it out to bask within the solar as he wiped the mud round it. 

The physique was black and white, and the flywheel and disc had been restricted elements. Lin Yuyan thought the bike was very appropriate for Gu Yaoyang. If he rode it, he would most likely look rather more good-looking on it than him. 

He thought this as he took out his cellphone and took an image of the bike. When he obtained to Gu Yaoyang’s chat and he remembered he wouldn’t contact him for a number of days, he stared on the chat with slightly fear and hesitated for some time earlier than sending it to Zhuo Dangle

Zhuo Dangle didn’t reply, however Lin Yuyan didn’t care. He ran upstairs and altered his garments earlier than speeding to the artwork exhibition. This exhibition was rather more high-end than the final one, it introduced many well-known painters from dwelling and overseas, and a few collections had been additionally on sale. Lin Yuyan had been wanting into this for a really very long time. 

When he arrived, there have been already many individuals from the exhibition corridor. They walked and went round earlier than lastly settling in entrance of an impressionist oil portray. 

This portray was a bit particular. A skinny again was standing in a boxing ring. On the alternative facet stood an enormous chimpanzee. The scale of the ape was dozens of occasions that of {the teenager} standing in entrance of it. It exaggerated the complete background. 

The title of the portray was known as “The Ring”, and there have been numerous audiences across the orangutan clapping their arms and applauding.

Lin Yuyan couldn’t see the younger man’s face, he may solely see a vaguely present scar on his again that was not intentionally displayed.

“Do you want this portray very a lot?” At this second, somebody walked as much as him.

Lin Yuyan turned his head and noticed a gentleman in a go well with carrying a bell hat on his head. 

He appeared to be in his fifties, and the beard round his mouth was finely formed. One facet of it was black and the opposite was white, it was neatly trimmed and recognizable. 

“You’re…” Lin Yuyan’s eyes widened: “You’re Mr. Zeng Yi?”

Mr. Zeng Yi, the writer of this portray, smiled at Lin Yuyan and mentioned, “I didn’t assume you’d learn about me.”

Lin Yuyan excitedly mentioned, “I like your work very a lot, I’ve purchased each one in all your collections.” 

“Oh, actually?” 

Mr. Zeng laughed as he rubbed the small goatee on his chin, “Am I actually that well-known in China?” 

Lin Yuyan mentioned, “It’s not a matter of fame, I’ll like a portray even in the event you’re not well-known.” 

Mr. Zeng laughed once more, patted Lin Yuyan on the shoulder, and regarded on the portray on the wall, “I like boxing very a lot. If it weren’t for my poor physique and the mistaken profession, I might have appreciated to interrupt a sweat on the ring like this younger man.”

Lin Yuyan felt that this portray was considerably acquainted, particularly the younger man with a scar on his again. He needed to ask intimately, however Mr. Zeng had already left; he didn’t even ask for a photograph.

However this didn’t cease Lin Yuyan from being in a cheerful temper. After watching the exhibition, he ran out in a rush, desirous to share his pleasure with Gu Yaoyang. He simply took out his cellphone when he stopped. 

After he thought of it, he determined to ship it to Zhuo Dangle with a tragic face. 

Zhuo Dangle slept at one and obtained up in the course of the night time. He picked up his cellphone and checked the time. A dozen messages popped out of his notification. He thought it was the older sister who missed him, however he didn’t have time to be comfortable when he came upon that it was Lin Yuyan.

“What’s this all about…” Zhuo Dangle raised his eyebrows and flipped by his cell phone: bicycles, artwork exhibition halls, little ants on the facet of the highway, blooming little wildflowers, strange-shaped clouds, damaged visitors lights, and braised pork for dinner?

Zhuo Dangle replied in horror, “You’re cooking?”

Lin Yuyan replied in seconds, “Good night time, I’m going to mattress.”

Zhuo Dangle scratched his head, pondering that Lin Yuyan wasn’t performing proper immediately, however he didn’t take it to coronary heart.

Who would have thought that it will be like this each day for the following two days, with an increasing number of textual content messages and the corresponding sentences being inexplicable? Zhuo Dangle couldn’t bear it anymore and known as Lin Yuyan, “What do you imply by sending these photos? Have you ever fallen from a tree?”

Lin Yuyan was portray, and sighed at Gu Yaoyang’s face earlier than replying, “Nothing.”

Listening to the tone, it didn’t appear to be he was okay. Zhuo Dangle thought of it, and all of a sudden realized, “Did you fall out of affection?”

Lin Yuyan dipped the paintbrush in paint earlier than emphasizing, “I’m not in a relationship.” 

Zhuo Dangle had lengthy been accustomed to his blunt phrases and comforted the opposite, “It’s only a damaged coronary heart, no massive deal. You’ll simply have to attend it out for a number of days earlier than you utterly overlook about it. You may inform me about it, about the way you miss her or one thing. As pal, I’ll lend my ear to you and hold all of your secrets and techniques to myself. No one will learn about it.” 

“Who- Who mentioned I miss him?” The phrases appeared to set off him, and he reacted as if he was pierced by somebody. 

He hung up on Zhuo Dangle and located a missed name in his deal with e-book. It turned out to be from Gu Yaoyang.

Simply as he was enthusiastic about whether or not to answer or not, the cellphone rang once more. Lin Yuyan hesitated for some time earlier than he put his cellphone on the mattress tremblingly, and hid on the door.

He can’t choose it up, he should maintain on. Two days have handed, and in one other two days, he will certainly not assume and miss him.

With a “snap”, Lin Yuyan patted the hand he needed to reply the cellphone. His eyes had been purple with ache. He actually didn’t imply to consider Gu Yaoyang, however he couldn’t management it in any respect. He simply needed to speak to him, to know what he was doing? He needed to ask him if he was consuming effectively. Is he used to the temperature there?

After greater than ten seconds, the ringing stopped. Lin Yuyan laid on the doorstep and waited for some time till Gu Yaoyang didn’t name once more. He was relieved, adopted by one other inexplicable sense of loss. He sat on the door and grieved. 

What’s the matter with him? He wouldn’t actually like Gu Yaoyang, would he?

After dinner, his mom was lastly free and took the time to ship a video to Lin Yuyan, asking him how he was doing not too long ago.

Lin Yuyan compelled a smile on his face and repeatedly answered her questions.

Though Xu Jinglan wasn’t at dwelling very a lot, she may detect her son’s irregular temper and requested tentatively, “Yanyan, what’s mistaken?”

Lin Yuyan was distracted, and after a number of calls, he answered slowly, “It’s fantastic.”

“Actually? Are you alright?”

Lin Yuyan shook his head and mentioned one thing out of nowhere, “Mother, can I am going out to play?”

Xu Jinglan mentioned, “Sure, the place do you need to go?”

“I…I need to see the snow.”

This sentence was mentioned all of a sudden as if he was out of his thoughts when he mentioned that. When Lin Yuyan reacted, he was already carrying a thick down jacket, dragging his suitcase, and standing on the door of light3.

The gap was very shut, solely separated by a highway, and the bottom was coated in thick snow.

Lin Yuyan couldn’t perceive why he made such a call, however since he had already come, he needed to clear it up on the best way. He needed to seek out out what sort of emotions he had in the direction of Gu Yaoyang… In order that he received’t give it some thought all day lengthy and eventually get a peaceable sleep. 

He simply didn’t know if Gu Yaoyang would welcome him.

Though light3 was thought of to be a high membership, it didn’t have an opulent impression. The peculiar three-story constructing was utterly built-in into the town of snow. 

At three o’clock within the afternoon, the door of the membership opened with individuals popping out one after the opposite. They had been all tall individuals and regarded fairly buff whilst they wore their skinny coats. Some had been grinning, some had been coated in accidents, and a few couldn’t even stroll correctly. They had been supported by their friends who wore the identical workforce uniform. It looks like they had been gamers who’re coaching right here. 

Lin Yuyan took half a step again whereas he held onto his suitcase. He heard a participant, who had a bruised nostril and swollen face, saying in a sulky voice, “I say, he’s not a human in any respect, he’s the satan! It’s not such as you didn’t observe him if you went to China for particular coaching. Has he ever been soft-hearted? Am I a sandbag? No! I’m a dignified Linzhou District League A-level champion! However do I not want face? Beating me up like this, did my mom ship me all the best way right here from dwelling simply to get overwhelmed? Aren’t I being a shame?” 

As he spoke, he wiped away the tears that had been threatening to fall down from the nook of his eye. The person strolling subsequent to him wasn’t faring any higher, the corners of his mouth had been damaged and his eyes had been swollen as he mentioned, “What’s the matter? Didn’t he look fantastic two days in the past? I believed that the coach would deal with us higher, however why is he nonetheless so ruthless to us?” 

“I believe the cellphone calls had been the supply of the issue.” Mentioned a dark-skinned and pink-haired foreigner, “He made two calls a day however the different facet didn’t reply. The air was tense on the time, it made me so scared I didn’t even dare to go to the bathroom.” 

“Actually? Who dared to not reply his name?” 

“Don’t block the door.” As quickly because the voice fell, the a number of gamers who had been blocking the door and whispering to one another immediately scurried away. They ran quicker than a rabbit getting chased by a predator regardless of their injured appearances. 

Lin Yuyan raised his eyes as he exclaimed. He noticed a well-recognized determine strolling out of the membership with a depressing face and a cigarette in his hand. 

It was unbelievable how with one look, all of his frustrations these previous few days had been instantly swept away. 

However Lin Yuyan didn’t discover this element in any respect. 

He fortunately known as out to the opposite celebration, “Gu Yaoyang!” 

Gu Yaoyang was clearly startled. The cigarette in his hand fell to the bottom. He immediately caught Lin Yuyan’s gaze, squinted his eyes for some time hesitating, then strode over.

Earlier than Lin Yuyan mentioned whats up to him, he felt that his chilly ears had been being pushed into his sizzling palms. Gu Yaoyang frowned barely and requested in a low voice, “Is it chilly?”

“Not chilly.” Lin Yuyan rolled his eyes and mentioned with a smile: “You… Shouldn’t you ask one thing else first?”

“Like why am I right here?”
