Chapter 49 So Cute!

Su Yueming felt as if fireworks were blooming in his mind, dazzling and mesmerizing.

For years he had prayed that Wang Yan would fall in love with him, and at this moment it finally came true.

Blood rushed through my body, and my heart seemed to be pounding like a drum, making a deafening heartbeat.

"Really?"

Su Yueming heard his own voice trembling.

He really wished time could stand still at this moment; he would remember this day forever.

"real."

Once the first sentence was spoken, the rest became much easier.

Wang Yan had no more burdens in his heart, and he faced himself with equanimity.

Without warning, Su Yueming lunged at Wang Yan and pulled him into a tight embrace.

It was as if they were afraid Wang Yan would disappear, or perhaps they were worried that this was all a dream.

Su Yueming had dreamed of Wang Yan confessing his love to him more than once.

Sunlight fell on Wang Yan's cheeks, and he wore a serene smile.

But every time Su Yueming was about to agree, he couldn't utter a single word, as if he were born mute.

He could only pound his chest, his mouth agape, and watch helplessly as Wang Yan left in dejection.

The dream ended there, and he suddenly opened his eyes, but the regret of missing out lingered in his heart.

"I'm so happy, really..."

Su Yueming kept repeating this sentence, his eyes starting to lighten.

He could finally shake off that regret; this time he hadn't missed Wang Yan.

Wang Yan sensed Su Yueming's excessive excitement, as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

He shook his head, erasing the idea from his mind.

How could that be? He was practically invisible in high school and college. On graduation day, the class held a reunion, but Wang Yan was the only one who didn't receive an invitation.

The reason is that they forgot about this person.

Wang Yan raised his hand and patted Su Yueming's back, pressing his cheek against his neck and feeling his warm skin.

"Didn't you say you wanted to visit my junior high school?" Wang Yan paused and added, "Shall we go now?"

"good."

Su Yueming nodded decisively; he wanted to know everything about Wang Yan's past.

Wang Yan got out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Looking at the flushed face in the shadows, Wang Yan inexplicably recalled that kiss once again.

He hurriedly lowered his head, the water splashing on his face bringing a slight coolness.

By the time Wang Yan stepped out of the bathroom, the restlessness in his body had subsided.

"Let's go downstairs for breakfast."

Su Yueming paused for a second before answering, "Okay."

He was stunned; he couldn't understand how Wang Yan could be so good-looking, perfectly matching his aesthetic standards.

Water droplets dampened the hair on his forehead, revealing his full forehead, clean and fair cheeks, and high nose bridge, giving him a strong bone structure.

His slender frame, in particular, evokes a sense of wanting to explore him, to lean against him, and to hear his heartbeat.

"They're gone."

Seeing that Su Yueming remained motionless, Wang Yan had no choice but to gently tug at his sleeve.

"Oh well."

Su Yueming blinked, finally snapping out of his daze.

They walked out of the hotel together, where the sun was shining brightly.

The dazzling sunlight shone on them, and they smiled at each other.

Suddenly, voices came from around them, and Wang Yan subconsciously let go of Su Yueming's hand.

Wang Yan was afraid.

The people in the small town are different from those in City A; they are more closed off and have limited acceptance.

Here, homosexuals might be called perverts.

Wang Yan was already a pervert on his own; he didn't want Su Yueming to become a pervert in other people's eyes as well.

Su Yueming looked at Wang Yan in surprise, his fingers curling slightly. "What's wrong?"

"That's not a good idea."

Wang Yan glanced at the surrounding crowd and explained to him in a low voice.

Su Yueming understood the problem in a second: "Are you afraid of being seen by others?"

"Of course not."

Wang Yan's tone was somewhat urgent; his feelings for Su Yueming were as clear as day.

Su Yueming blinked; he knew this would be the answer.

So he took Wang Yan's hand again, his thumb rubbing against the back of his hand.

"I'm not afraid."

Su Yueming said solemnly.

"But……."

“No buts.” Su Yueming interrupted Wang Yan before he could finish speaking. “My love for you is no less than your love for me.”

Wang Yan hadn't expected him to say that, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

"You said it yourself, I've got it."

Wang Yan gave a not-so-pretty smile.

The two of them held hands and strode forward, completely ignoring the strange looks they received from those around them.

They are them, and we are us; there's no need to care so much.

After walking for about twenty minutes, the middle school finally came into view.

"This is the middle school I used to attend."

Wang Yan doesn't actually have any happy memories of going to school. He wasn't the kind of child with exceptional talent; he got into high school and university entirely through rote memorization.

What others can learn in one glance, he needs to look at ten or even twenty times.

Every day is filled with an endless notebook of wrong answers and countless late nights.

He did consider giving up, but what could he do after giving up?

At the age of ten, he didn't even have the money to buy a train ticket.

Su Yueming followed Wang Yan's gaze and saw an ordinary red and white teaching building in front of him, with the sound of flowing water coming from inside.

The gatekeeper opened the window and looked at Wang Yan and Su Yueming.

"Is there something you need?"

Wang Yan came to his senses and said, "I used to be a student here. I've come back to visit my alma mater."

The gatekeeper immediately understood; it was not surprising that students returned to visit their alma mater every year.

"What was your former teacher's name? Come over and register."

The old man pushed the registration booklet in front of Wang Yan, gesturing for him to write it down.

"Oh, okay." Although Wang Yan didn't understand what this meant, he obediently did as he was told.

After registration, the gatekeeper opened the side gate.

"You may go in."

"Um?"

Wang Yan was puzzled.

"Let's go inside the school and take a look."

Wang Yan really had no intention of going into the school, but the gatekeeper had already opened the gate, so it seemed wrong not to go in, or he would look like a fraud.

"Oh well."

Wang Yan gave an awkward twitch of his lips and pulled Su Yueming inside.

Su Yueming watched this scene and thought Wang Yan was almost too cute to bear.
