Yin Ming's face showed obvious surprise.

Seeing him like this, Lingyao got up and sat down next to him.

Lingyao raised her hand and rubbed Yin Ming's forehead, seemingly trying to smooth out his furrowed brows.

Seeing him still staring blankly, he couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "What's with that expression, Yin Ming?"

Was what he just said really that shocking?

But that was his truest thought.

He had already experienced the pain of being separated from Yin Ming, that heart-wrenching feeling, and he didn't want to experience it a second time.

Recalling that separation, Lingyao's eyes paused, and in a flash, he seemed to understand something, a knowing look immediately appearing on his face.

Yin Ming was unaware of Ling Yao's emotional change. He was currently staring blankly at the warm touch on his forehead, and a feeling of unreality suddenly welled up in his heart.

So, Lingyao doesn't blame him after all? Even if he reveals his identity, Lingyao won't see him as an outsider...

It turns out Lingyao was on his side...

Yin Ming finally understood what it meant to be uneasy and anxious—that's exactly how he felt right now.

Only after receiving a positive response from Lingyao did he finally dare to relax.

Even surviving a catastrophe is nothing more than this.

After relaxing, Yin Ming realized that his chest was bulging, as if some emotion was rapidly expanding, making his eyes red and almost causing him to burst into tears.

So he suddenly grabbed Lingyao and hugged him tightly.

He did this simply because he didn't want Lingyao to see the tears that were about to fall from his eyes.

But after feeling the real touch in his arms, Yin Ming felt an indescribable sense of peace.

He nuzzled against Lingyao's neck affectionately, inhaling the familiar, delicate scent emanating from him. While feeling at ease, he also suddenly felt a pang of grievance—

Damn it, he's been living in fear for so long!

Although this was ultimately due to Yin Ming overthinking things, he still raised his head and bit Ling Yao's left shoulder hard in resentment.

Well, how can we not blame him? If it weren't for caring about his opinion, would Yin Ming have overthought so much?

It's all his fault!

Perhaps Yin Ming had gone too far, for Ling Yao's whole body trembled, his chest heaving violently for a moment, as if he had gasped for air.

But he didn't push Yin Ming away. Instead, he did what Yin Ming had done before and rubbed the back of Yin Ming's head.

Normally, it was Yin Ming who would rub Ling Yao's head, but now that the roles were reversed, a strange feeling arose in both of them.

Yin Ming suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. He did not reject Ling Yao's actions, but he realized how childish his behavior had been.

Therefore, he dared not look directly into Lingyao's eyes anymore, and only let go, shamelessly continuing to maintain the embracing posture.

Neither of them spoke again; for a moment, you could hear a pin drop.

Yin Ming rested quietly on Ling Yao's shoulder, and as he lay there, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

He seems to have become effeminate lately.

For example, his behavior just now—isn't that the kind of behavior that girls do when they're being affectionate with their boyfriends in short videos?

There was a time when he longed for a delicate girl to act cute and charming towards him, but now he's the one doing this to another guy.

So, where exactly did things go wrong?

But……

But to be honest, holding Lingyao like this is actually quite comfortable.

Feeling so comfortable, Yin Ming couldn't help but let out a slow yawn.

Forget it, I don't want to dwell on such trivial matters anymore. When it comes to dating, the most important thing is to be happy.

Yin Ming originally had many questions he wanted to ask, but after learning that Ling Yao didn't care about his identity, the answers to those questions didn't seem to matter anymore.

I don't even want to do the things I was originally going to do anymore.

Yin Ming even forgot what he was about to do, only wishing that time could stand still at this moment forever.

When the body and mind are relaxed, people easily get tired.

In addition, Yin Ming had already stayed up late, and now he felt even more tired.

In his drowsy state, Yin Ming felt himself being lifted up horizontally and gently swayed in the warm embrace for a short distance before being gently placed on the bed.
