Outside the window, a few sparrows were chirping on the branches with new leaves.

Lin Zhiyi closed his eyes and felt for the first time that the place where he lived was so noisy.

He put his hand on his heart, feeling very upset.

He forgot how he got home, he only knew that on the way back, the other person held his hand tightly and refused to let go.

What Han Xu said at that time is still echoing in my ears.

"I like you, Lin Zhiyi."

Lin Zhiyi's mind went blank.

Like...him?

Is he crazy?

They are all men, and Han Xu has all the organs he has. What does he like?

It’s not like Lin Zhiyi hasn’t seen people who like the same sex before. He knew that two of his schoolmates were a couple and even pretended to have seen them holding hands.

There is no discrimination, but it is somewhat incomprehensible.

I don’t understand…

He repeated the words in his mind, turned over, buried his face in the pillow, and clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the effort.

Why on earth?

My heart still can't stop beating.

So noisy.

The next day, Lin Zhiyi got up with a dark spot under his eyes.

When I was leaving the room, I happened to run into my roommate who had been partying outside all night and was coming home.

"You're up so early today too." His roommate greeted him, "Are you going to teach that rich second-generation kid?"

"Not going." Lin Zhiyi said.

He didn't sleep all night last night and his mind was in a mess. He didn't want to see Han Xu at all.

After his roommate went to bed, Lin Zhiyi made a cup of oatmeal and planned to go to the piano room to practice.

On the way there, Lin Zhiyi felt inexplicably uneasy.

Last night, Han Xu sent him a very long message, promising that he was not teasing him or doing it on impulse.

She also wrote in detail why she liked him.

To be honest, Han Xu's writing style is not that good. I guess he typed it too hastily and there are some typos, but every word is sincere.

Lin Zhiyi could see that he was not lying.

During the time they were together, Han Xu was very nice to him and never made him feel uncomfortable.

Come to think of it... Han Xu didn't hide very well, he likes to leave traces.

He was really something. He had never wondered why Han Xu always smiled at him and blushed for no reason.

No matter how cheerful a person is, he or she won’t be like this.

While I was thinking, I had already arrived at the piano room.

The piano room was empty, and no one suddenly looked up and smiled at him.

For some reason, Lin Zhiyi always felt a little uncomfortable.

He put down his things and looked at his phone, only to find that Han Xu had sent a new message:

"I'm sorry if my affection bothers you. I'll be careful not to appear in front of you in the future. If you really can't stand going to the same school as me, I can drop out... I'm only here for one semester anyway, so there's nothing to lose."

Lin Zhiyi pursed his lips.

It’s not to the point of dropping out of school.

He typed a reply: [No need to drop out.]

[Then can I still appear in front of you?] Han Xu replied immediately.

There was no emoticon, but Lin Zhiyi's eyes appeared with the other person's pitiful look.

He sighed: [Yeah, okay.]

The school is not his personal property, Han Xu can appear wherever he wants.

After this sentence was sent, the other party kept saying "typing".

After a while, a message came: [Can I still be friends with you? ]

Be friends?

Lin Zhiyi's fingertips hovered above the screen, but he was hesitant to press it.

He has always regarded Han Xu as a friend, but Han Xu's intention was not to be friends with him.

Moreover, he already knew Han Xu's thoughts yesterday. It would be unfair to Han Xu to go back to being friends.

Lin Zhiyi: [We can't be friends anymore, sorry.]

It was a long time before Han Xu sent a reply:

I'm sorry, I messed up.

…

"Son, aren't you going to have breakfast yet?" Lu Mei knocked on the bedroom door and said softly.

"I'm not hungry now." Han Xu's muffled voice came from inside.

Lu Mei sighed: "Aren't you going to come out and say hello to your friends?"

“…”

No one spoke inside.

Lu Mei turned around and spoke apologetically to the teenagers nearby: "I'm sorry, Han Xu isn't feeling well today. Auntie will take you to the mall for a walk before we go back, okay? Maybe he'll be better by evening, and we can even have dinner together."

They came by private plane, so it doesn't matter if they are late.

Xue Du smiled and said, "No need, Auntie. Ah Xu is in a bad mood, so we won't stay any longer. We'll come to see him next time."

"That's right, Auntie. Maybe he'll be fine next time he comes." Wei Jun said with a smile.

Lu Mei spoke to them with a smile, looked back at the closed door of the room, and sighed.

Since returning last night, Han Xu has been in a daze and entered the room. Xue Du went in once and vaguely heard crying, but was driven out after a few seconds.

There were two slipper prints on Xue Du's pants, but he was very calm: "It's okay, I'm just heartbroken."

The others exchanged glances: "Oh~"

Wei Jun touched his chin: "Is it that person?"

"You knew it from his expression yesterday. Wei Jun, stop laughing, or Ah Xu will come out and beat you up," said Guan Gaojun.

"This is the first time our little Xuxu has fallen in love with someone, and he broke up so quickly. How could I bear to laugh at him?" Wei Jun shrugged.

Lu Mei was very confused. She had never heard Han Xu say who he liked, but she always respected her son's privacy and did not ask.

But Han Xu hadn't had breakfast this morning, and he looked so half-dead that it was really heartbreaking.
