"Goodbye, brother..."

Xu Nuo, holding Li Yao's hand, tried to take small steps and finally reached the dividing line between the two teaching buildings. The young man muttered weakly, but did not let go of his hand.

Li Yao laughed, "Why is it like this every morning?"

The boy didn't answer, but threw himself into his arms and said, "I don't want to be separated..."

"There's still this year, baby."

"I'm so annoyed. Your class won't be dismissed again!"

There was no other way, they had to separate no matter how unwilling they were. Xu Nuo pouted and pulled away, but the next second his hand was pulled back.

The boy raised his head and looked at his boyfriend in confusion.

"I'll take you there today."

His expression, which had just been annoyed, suddenly turned cloudy and sunny. A smile appeared on his delicate face again. He looked around and took advantage of the fact that no one was around to stand on tiptoe and kiss Li Yao on the lips. "Brother is so nice."

Li Yao smiled, held his hand tighter, and walked towards the art building. He could still hear their voices from a distance.

"Baby, do you have acting class after school tonight?"

"Yeah... I'm so tired. I can't stay with you anymore."

"I'll video call you after class."

"All right……"

…

In front of the Li family's villa, Li Yao bent down to adjust Xu Nuo's bow tie. The boy had grown taller in the past three years and looked like a small sapling, but he was still not as good-looking as before Li Yao, and still looked as delicate and cute as before.

"Are you nervous?"

The boy squeezed his nose and made a face, "I'm not nervous at all. I'm definitely going to be first."

He was so bright and lively that it made people's heart itch. Li Yao wanted to pinch his little face, but because both parents were present, he had to give up. His hands in the dark clenched into fists in impatience.

"The two children have such a good relationship!" Yu Manman commented with a smile.

Cen Su also laughed, "We were close before, and now we're like brothers, sticking together wherever we go."

Li Feng glanced at his two sons. He had never seen such a patient and warm expression on Li Yao's face. Only Xu Nuo could take him in and make him take care of others honestly.

However, Li Feng raised an eyebrow. These two kids were a bit too close. He didn't seem to have such a close relationship with his brothers when he was in the army. In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that both kids had the same parents, so it was normal for them to have a close relationship.

"Good luck on your art exam," Li Yao handed him his bow tie and pretended to fix his sideburns. He took the opportunity to lean over and whisper in his ear, "I'll wait for my baby to come back."

Xu Nuo widened his eyes and stole a glance at his parents over there. The side of his ear closest to Li Yao was completely red, but he still had to pretend to be calm.

"Got it! Brother, you should do your best in the exam too."

Li Yao will also take an exam tomorrow. If he passes, he will most likely be admitted to University A in this city, which is also one of the top universities in the country and is only one street away from University E, a specialized art school.

Warm fingertips pinched Xu Nuo's soft earlobe. This was Li Yao's silent assurance, "Thank you, Nuo Nuo."

…

"Congratulations to Li Yao for being admitted to University A in advance... Xu Nuo for being admitted to University E..." The school's loudspeaker played the name in a loop. Xu Nuo jumped up when he heard his name.

Li Yao smiled dotingly, reached out and picked him up, and the boy in his arms blushed.

"Why... so suddenly? We're still at school."

"It doesn't matter," Li Yao said nonchalantly, staring at him intently, "The college entrance exam is over, Nuonuo should give me a status."

He felt guilty when he mentioned this promise. It was easy to do it among friends and classmates, but the key was how to get past the parents of both sides. Although same-sex marriage was not uncommon in the world, the relationship between the two was special after all, and their parents always treated them as brothers.

"Nono, you won't give it to me?" The young man, who had lost his youthfulness, narrowed his eyes dangerously, lowered his voice, and looked at the young boy in his arms.

"I didn't say no! It's just...what about Mom and Dad?"

Li Yao knew that he had always been afraid of this, but seeing his guilty expression, he couldn't help laughing, "Mom and Dad love Nuonuo, they will definitely not hit Nuonuo, then I will be the only one to take the punishment."

He was clearly talking nonsense, and Xu Nuo was so angry that she bit him hard, and only let go after hearing a slight "hiss" from him.

The boy showed his slightly sharp little fangs and looked at Li Yao provocatively in his arms. Li Yao never got angry with him, so he pushed him up and he immediately gave in.

"I was talking nonsense, baby, let me go."

Xu Nuo was satisfied then. As they were almost at the classroom, she nimbly jumped out of his arms and ran to get the admission letter.

"Brother! Look—" the boy laughed heartily, waving the red acceptance letter high in his hand. Li Yao unconsciously smiled faintly as well, "Well, baby, you're awesome."

Xu Nuo came running back and bumped into his arms like a little cannonball, "Let's go home!"

The two walked out of the school gate hand in hand, "Which home are we going back to?"

Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "Well, my parents probably aren't here today."

Xu Nuo blushed and stretched out a soft finger to poke his chest, "Brother always thinks about this kind of thing."

"I thought Nuonuo wanted to order takeout but it was inconvenient for him to play games." Li Yao grabbed his hand and squeezed it, smiling maliciously, "What is Nuonuo thinking?"

"Of course I'm thinking of ordering takeout and playing games!"

Over the past few years, he still hasn't made any progress. Everything in his heart is written on his face, and he can't even lie. Li Yao chuckled, "Okay."

The Xu family villa was indeed empty; the servants had the day off. The Li family had bought a nearby villa a year earlier and moved in, making it convenient for the young couple to meet up secretly.
