He felt the boy's soft and warm touch beside him, and his nose was filled with the boy's unique fragrance. Han Shuo stood there stiffly, not daring to move at all.

His Adam's apple kept rolling up and down. Han Shuo glanced down at the boy's hairy head, wanting to reach out and touch it, but he suppressed this strange thought in his mind.

Li Ziyan...

These three words swirled around Han Shuo's mind, stirring up a wave of emotion. Han Shuo didn't know what to think. He and Li Ziyan hadn't interacted much. Li Ziyan was naturally aloof, and few people could get close to him. Even if they lived in the same dorm, even sleeping in beds next to each other, they rarely saw each other.

After Li Ziyan was isolated by the boys in the class, he didn't have much thought. He did warn or stop the boys, but there were always times when he couldn't protect them.

If Li Ziyan didn't resist, he couldn't just protect him forever in the name of squad leader. Han Shuo didn't have a very good opinion of Li Ziyan at the time. After all, in Han Shuo's opinion, no matter what the reason, people always have to learn to protect themselves and resist. Simply accepting everything will not lead to long-term success or a stable life.

He originally thought that Li Ziyan might just allow himself to be bullied, but he didn't expect that after he tried to stop the group of boys again, Li Ziyan finally changed his mind.

He still did not resist, but he was no longer silent. He used his own way to make others accept him, and used his own way to express his opinions to everyone, making them understand that he had done nothing wrong.

Thinking of the culprit who had caused Li Ziyan all the suffering before, and thinking of Li Ziyan's increasingly happy smile now, Han Shuo's eyes darkened a lot.

He actually didn't know much about Li Ziyan's sexual orientation being exposed before, but after spending more time with Li Ziyan, he quietly got to know him a little bit. He didn't have a good impression of that boy, their senior Jiang Chen.

Han Shuo lay on the bed, his mind racing. The person on him suddenly moved, slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his chest dazedly, then stood up and looked at him blankly.

"Dorm leader?" Perhaps because he had just woken up, Han Shuo's cheeks were red, and there were marks on his face from the wrinkles of his clothes. His eyes were not clear, but watery, like a deer that had just escaped from the forest.

Han Shuo didn't move. With Li Ziyan's arm still hanging on his waist, he lay there waiting for Li Ziyan to slowly regain consciousness.

"Head, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that. I don't know how I suddenly ended up sleeping next to you. I..." Li Ziyan noticed the posture of the two people and quickly withdrew his hand. His cheeks flushed for a moment and then slowly turned pale. He kept explaining and glancing at Han Shuo's expression, as if he was afraid that Han Shuo would be angry or show a hint of disgust.

His look made Han Shuo feel uncomfortable, and his brows furrowed unconsciously. However, the other party misunderstood Han Shuo's meaning. His face turned pale in an instant, and he froze there, not daring to say a word.

"I'm not angry, don't panic." Han Shuo stood up, reached out and grasped Li Ziyan's arm, then slowly slid down to clasp his hands. His tone was no longer as cold and calm as before, but rather gentle. "How could I be angry?"

Li Ziyan glanced up at Han Shuo's eyes, then pulled the corners of his mouth to the sides, revealing a somewhat bitter smile, and moved his arms, trying to pull them back.

"I, I'm different from everyone else. I'm sorry, President. I'm really sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable."

"...You're not different. Don't think that way." Han Shuo knew what Li Ziyan meant. In fact, he could see that even though same-sex marriage had been passed, many people still couldn't accept it. Some people also considered homosexuality to be a trait. Even though Li Ziyan had come out publicly and the boys around him had gradually accepted him, he was still sensitive and easily hurt after suffering so much school violence. "There shouldn't be a distinction between heterosexuality and homosexuality in the world. It's the same love, just the person you love is of different or the same gender. There's nothing worth discussing. Like I said before, you're brave enough to express your feelings."

Han Shuo said this, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. When he thought of Li Ziyan happily confessing her love to another boy, he felt a little depressed.

Li Ziyan nodded, and as if he had been comforted by Han Shuo before, his mood gradually calmed down. However, the atmosphere between them froze for a moment. Han Shuo's heart was a little confused, and he couldn't quite control the thoughts in his mind. He slowly said, "Why did you like Jiang Chen before?"

"..." Li Ziyan was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected Han Shuo to ask this question. He pursed his lips and answered at Han Shuo's regretful look, "I probably mistook his warmth for love."

Jiang Chen was a warm-hearted man, at least in front of others. He was a good student, and so was Li Ziyan. As classmates in the math competition class, a senior and a junior, they naturally had a good relationship. Initially, Li Ziyan didn't have many thoughts about Jiang Chen; at least in his eyes, he was just a friend with whom he could chat. It was just that, at some point, he began to sense Jiang Chen's hints and "favoritism," a kind of unbridled and blatant "favoritism" in front of others.

The two became good friends. Jiang Chen slowly learned about his sexual orientation while chatting with him. He did not show any disgust, but treated him as he had before, even more so than before, and was overly nice to him.

Which boy is not sentimental during adolescence? Moreover, Li Ziyan likes boys to suppress and urge him, so he naturally develops different feelings for Jiang Chen.

She made up her mind and resolved to confess her feelings to Jiang Chen, but he gave her a gift instead - a sexy skirt and the unbridled ridicule from his friends.

The fact that he had a different sexual orientation was also widely publicized, and he was described as a pervert who was in a relationship with his high school idol.

When Li Ziyan was telling Han Shuo about these things, his tone was very calm, with occasional tremors in his voice at the end, but there was no longer any pain in his eyes. It was as if he was describing something that happened to someone else. However, the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Han Shuo felt.

"But it's in the past. I haven't liked him for a long time." Li Ziyan smiled, as if comforting himself, but more like comforting Han Shuo.

Han Shuo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a message alert on his phone the next second.

With a somewhat apologetic smile, Li Ziyan got out of bed and took his phone. It was a message from Li Hao, a voice message. Li Ziyan's eyes flickered, and with his back to Han Shuo, he smiled and clicked on the speaker.

"My dear wife, Lin Yang and I will come to your house to play with you tomorrow. I have brought the game console. Please send me the location of your house later. It's my birthday tomorrow, and you are not allowed to refuse me."

"Li Hao?"

"Huh? Yes, he said before that he wanted to come to my house to play, but because he had an appointment with you, the dormitory head, I didn't agree." Li Ziyan smiled, looked at his phone again, and said with some embarrassment, "Dormitory head, Li Hao's birthday is tomorrow, you..."

"It doesn't matter. Is he coming to stay with you?"

"Uh, yes."

"I'm coming too."
