Break through the psychological defense line?

The third bottle of water will soon be finished.

Tao Luobai and Meng Yisheng had nothing to do at the moment, so they were both playing with their cell phones.

Tao Luobai was dealing with Bai Qiaosong's doubts about his disappearance early this morning.

Tao Luobai was about to type to tell Bai Qiaosong that he was in a relationship, but then he thought better of it. After all, the person he was in love with was a boy, and it didn't seem stable enough at the moment. Tao Luobai was not sure whether they could become a one-week couple.

As for his father, Tao Luobai didn't know whether he could get his support for his current sexual orientation. His father was very serious about such matters.

A vague worry emerged in Tao Luobai's mind.

Meng Yisheng, on the other hand, was just the opposite. He took the opportunity to send the news about his relationship with Tao Luobai to his sister. Although his sister could not see him during class today, he still hoped that she could share this joy with him as soon as the get out of class was over.

Then, he sent it to his childhood friends Qiu Xu and Yue Gongshan.

The two of them replied almost instantly.

Qiu Xu: “?”

Yue Gongshan: "?"

Because the two of them were admitted to the same university and had a childhood friendship, it was normal for them to see the message sent by Meng Yisheng together and reply to the message together.

Meng Yisheng told himself.

What's more normal is that after hearing the news that his childhood friend, the lonely star, is in love, he would make a sharp explosion.

Meng Yisheng calmly turned off the phone and hung up, cutting off the incessant noise of two boys on the other end.

At the same time, the group chat where Meng Yisheng and the other two were located exploded.

Qiu Xu: "Meng Yisheng, good boy, you are actually in love—"

Yue Gongshan: "What does your partner look like? Is he good-looking? When will you bring him out for us to see?"

Meng Yisheng: "He looks good, but he's been a bit busy lately." Meng Yisheng took the time to glance at Tao Luobai and saw that he was concentrating on playing with his mobile phone and didn't even notice that the water on his head was almost gone.

He stood up from his seat and was about to call a doctor when he noticed that Tao Luobai's pants without buttonholes were exposed.

Meng Yisheng was startled. He walked to the bed and looked at Tao Luobai, "Your pants are not on properly."

Meng Yisheng originally wanted to directly put the card on him, but he felt it was impolite. Although they were both boys and didn't need to care so much, he was afraid that Tao Luobai would care.

After hearing what Meng Yisheng said, it was Tao Luobai's turn to be stunned.

Tao Luobai was stunned at first, then his face turned red. How could he have forgotten that his pants were only zipped up, not buttoned?

The cell phone slipped from his shoulder where it was stuck by his fingers and hit the bed with a thud. Tao Luobai reached towards his waist with difficulty with his free hand.

Oh my god. Tao Luobai couldn't even imagine how obscene this action would be. It was so obscene that even he couldn't bear to look at it.

Of course, Tao Luobai couldn't button a buttonhole with his hands no matter what.

After struggling for a while, Meng Yisheng saw that the infusion bottle was really empty, so he went up to help.

The nurse also arrived here before the last moment before air entered the blood vessels and removed the needle for Tao Luobai.

The pants were put on intactly. Even though his cheeks were slightly hot, Tao Luobai pressed the needle hole with one hand and felt relaxed all over.

In five minutes, his hands would be completely and utterly at ease.

It was at this moment that Tao Luobai looked at the boy who had just helped him button his shirt. He did not react as obviously as himself, but instead lowered his head and played with his mobile phone intently.

Although he didn't touch her just now, at least at such a close distance, shouldn't he show some special reaction? Tao Luobai's mind began to wander again.

Meng Yisheng did not notice Tao Luobai's gaze, or rather, he deliberately avoided Tao Luobai's gaze.

His hands had been burning since the beginning. To distract himself from this strange feeling, he opened his phone again and clicked into the group chat between him and his childhood friends, wanting to see what they were saying and reply with a sentence or two.

Unexpectedly, just a few minutes after he stopped showing up in the group chat, the news in the group exploded into a completely different form.

Qiu Xu first hit Meng Yisheng with a surprised emoticon dozens of times. Only when he slid down did he see the human words hidden behind the emoticon.

Qiu Xu: "She's been busy lately. When will she be free? Let's arrange a weekend so we can fly over to visit our sister-in-law."

Qiu Xu: "Speak up, Meng Yisheng, why did you disappear when you mentioned you wanted to see my sister-in-law? Are you trying to trick us? Is there no such person as my sister-in-law?"

Meng Yisheng's eyes fell on the word "she" used by Qiu Xu, and he frowned slightly. He was about to type a few words to explain when Qiu Xu's message came again.

Qiu Xu: "Meng Yisheng, speak up! At the very least, give me a photo of my sister-in-law, or we'll treat you as a liar!"

Meng Yisheng: "I don't have any photos." Meng Yisheng really didn't have any. He took a video at the aquarium that day and only captured Tao Luobai's movements.

What's more, the video carried some unpleasant memories of Tao Luobai that day. He didn't even want to send out the photo casually, so how could he send Tao Luobai's video to the two of them?

Qiu Xu: "No photos? Are you talking about a person, or are you really lying to us on purpose?"

Qiu Xu: "Why, Meng Yisheng, don't use these weird tricks to deceive us just because it's your first time at university. We are all your good brothers. What good will it do you to lie to us that you are in a relationship?!"

Seeing Qiu Xu's words becoming more and more outrageous, Meng Yisheng became more and more excited. "I really do have a partner, but he's sick in the hospital right now and it's not convenient for him. I'm accompanying him now. As for you meeting him, you have to wait until he recovers and agrees."

After Meng Yisheng said this, Qiu Xu suddenly stopped talking. He must have taken his words to heart. At this moment, his silence was deafening.

He probably didn't expect that Meng Yisheng and his sister-in-law would have a date in the hospital. No, he probably didn't expect that his sister-in-law would be sick at this time and need someone to accompany her, while he was still bothering her boyfriend.

The silence in the group is proof of one person’s embarrassment.

Yue Gongshan noticed Qiu Xu's predicament and rushed to remedy the situation.

"She's sick, so just focus on accompanying her and ignore us. We'll talk again when we have a chance."

Qiu Xu also sent an emoticon of approval.

Meng Yisheng took a look and smiled. Even if he only gave it to his good friends, it would still be a clear path forward.

Meng Yisheng: "Okay. Then I'll stay with him first, you guys take your time to play." After typing, Meng Yisheng turned off his phone.

He looked up and met Tao Luobai's gaze.

Judging from the situation, Tao Luobai has been staring at his own time for quite a while.

Meng Yisheng raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to say something to me?"

Tao Luobai shook his head first, then nodded and pointed to his hand, "Five minutes are up, we can go now."

Just now, after the nurse removed the needle, she said that it would take five minutes to stop the pressure to stop the bleeding. Tao Luobai has been adhering to this time and also took this opportunity to observe Meng Yisheng.

Meng Yisheng was staring at his phone, so he didn't have a chance to ask.

So, should he ask now?

This should be his right as a boyfriend.

Tao Luobai jumped off the bed and approached Meng Yisheng. "Were you texting with your friends just now?"

After Tao Luobai finished speaking, he glanced aside, pretending that he asked casually. Of course, Tao Luobai's pretentious action could not be hidden from Meng Yisheng.

Meng Yisheng immediately understood that Tao Luobai wanted to check on his post for the past five minutes.

Meng Yisheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In his impression, dating was supposed to check in on each other in detail. He said directly, "I have two childhood friends, and I was just telling them the news that we're together."

"You said it directly?" This time it was Tao Luobai's turn to be surprised. He hadn't even told Bai Qiaosong yet, but he didn't expect Meng Yisheng to say it directly in such a short time.

"Is there any problem?" Meng Yisheng saw Tao Luobai's surprise, but he didn't understand why he was surprised.

Tao Luobai shook his head and said, "No problem." But this made him seem a little dishonest.

He hasn't figured out how to tell his friends or even family that it's true that he's dating a boy.

So, Tao Luobai wanted to hear how Meng Yisheng handled the situation: whether he had concealed the gender or had come clean.

Tao Luobai: "So, did they say anything?"

"For me being a boy."

Meng Yisheng: "What should they say?" Meng Yisheng didn't understand Tao Luobai's dilemma. "Is there anything wrong with you being a boy?"

Tao Luobai shook his head.

He didn't expect that Meng Yisheng was so open-minded, but he was under great pressure.

Tao Luobai laughed off the topic and took Meng Yisheng to have lunch at a nearby restaurant. Then, Tao Luobai let Meng Yisheng go back to school.

And we agreed on the time for him to stay in bed with me for the infusion the next day.

Although Meng Yisheng said that he could spare some time to spend with Tao Luobai, Tao Luobai did not agree. He always felt that Meng Yisheng was a little too serious and earnest when it came to love, which was completely different from his timid and cautious attitude towards feelings.

He also knew that it was the beginning of the school year and Meng Yisheng must have a lot of things to do, but because of himself, he didn't want to make him worry and asked him to hide it from him, so he couldn't use this as a threat to make things worse.

He thought he should give himself some time to digest their relationship.

Let's start by telling Bai Qiaosong that he and Meng Yisheng are in love.

Tao Luobai made a decision in his heart.

After Tao Luobai returned to the dormitory, he found that Bai Qiaosong had not returned yet, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still very nervous before he talked about this matter.

Bai Qiaosong was his best friend in college, and Tao Luobai was still a little concerned about his opinion of him.

Therefore, he did not choose to talk to him in person, but went back to the dormitory to talk to him face to face.
