Chapter 20 Liang Yu's Love History
# Chapter 20 Liang Yu's Love History
Liang Yu didn't expect Qiao Shuyan to suddenly ask such a question. It was obvious that Qiao Shuyan usually kept a distance from him and only lost his composure in front of him a few times, and they were all due to reasons. Qiao Shuyan had never cared about his past, let alone asked such a bold question directly. This caught Liang Yu off guard.
However, Qiao Shuyan drank a cocktail tonight. Even the "Metropolis" which was mainly juice and had an adjusted proportion, had a much stronger aftereffect than beer. What's more, this was probably the first time for him to drink foreign liquor.
Could it be that this person's reaction to drinking beer is different from that to drinking foreign liquor? Liang Yu was puzzled.
Despite this, he still answered honestly: "Yes."
Qiao Shuyan didn't expect the other party to admit it so easily. Instead, he was at a loss for words. After a pause, he said woodenly, "Oh, oh..."
Liang Yu laughed: "'Oh' what?"
Qiao Shuyan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said with a tearful tone, "I'm not happy."
"Hmm?" Liang Yu was puzzled. "Why are you unhappy?"
Qiao Shuyan did not answer his question, and asked again: "Tell me about it."
"What?"
"Tell me why you are together! Tell me why you broke up!" Qiao Shuyan's tone was a little bit resentful.
Liang Yu paused, "Do you really want to listen?"
Qiao Shuyan nodded: "I want to listen and drink!"
Liang Yu almost laughed when he heard this. Qiao Shuyan was a little out of control at this moment. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and the tip of his nose was stained with a little pink, as if the glass of "Metropolitan" had stained his fair face, making him even more beautiful than usual.
Liang Yu stared at him for a while with his eyes slightly narrowed. He felt that Qiao Shuyan was more attractive than the last time when he was drunk. Moreover, he was in this state after seeing Yu Heng and Xiao Chu. This made him have a slightly bold idea.
But with Yu Heng's experience in mind, Liang Yu really didn't want to try a straight man again so he sighed slightly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, then called the bartender and ordered two more glasses of wine.
After the bartender turned around to mix the cocktails, Liang Yu spoke up, "Yu Heng is a straight man, just like you." His voice was not loud, and he recounted his past in a low voice.
"We were in the same class in high school. I fell in love with him the first time I saw him. It was also the first time I saw him that I realized I liked men.
"As a high school student, I was in puberty, a fearless age. I started pursuing him the day after I confirmed that I liked a man and clarified my feelings. We were both the most outstanding in school, so many people pursued him at that time. Of course, there were more people pursuing me, basically all girls, and occasionally boys.
"But, with him around, I couldn't care less about anyone else. I only thought he was good, like I was possessed. When I was in the first year of high school, I was not a good student, and studying had nothing to do with me. All I thought about every day was him and how to pursue him. I had no experience in love, let alone pursuing someone, so I stuck to him every day and followed him in everything he did... I went to and from school with him every day, even though we lived in completely different directions. In short, I pursued him for about a year, and he finally agreed to give it a try.
"At that moment, I felt that the world was bright. He was the first person I loved in my life. He agreed to my pursuit and was willing to give it a try. What a great fortune. I was really... happy for a long, long time. Every day we were together was like a dream to me. I tried my best to be good to him, until...
"Until we both failed to get into the same university... Actually, after I pursued him, he forced me to study. Later, I came to my senses and figured it out. I knew that only by getting good grades could I give him a better future. For this purpose, I studied very hard in my last year. During the mock exams, our scores were actually comparable. But... during the college entrance examination, he didn't perform well, but I didn't change my ambition for him...
"That summer, we went out together, but he was always unhappy. I knew it was because we didn't get into the same university, and I also knew he was upset about his college entrance examination results. But I couldn't give him the answer he wanted.
"After we started our own schools, he sent me a message saying he wanted to break up. So I went to his school to look for him, but he avoided me. I called him, but he didn't answer. I sent him messages, but he didn't reply... I tried everything, but I couldn't make him change his mind."
Qiao Shuyan suddenly interrupted and said, "Then why don't you go to the same school as him?" His voice was muffled, his eyes became redder, and his nose became redder too.
I don't know when the bartender prepared the wine, nor when he placed it in front of the two people. I don't know when the second glass of wine for the two people was almost empty.
Liang Yu called the bartender and ordered two more glasses of wine before slowly answering Qiao Shuyan's question: "At that time, I thought that only if I went to the best school and was in the best environment could I stand out in the future and lay a better foundation for our future. I loved him so much, and I didn't want him to have a hard life.
"Later, I thought countless times that maybe all he wanted was a simple life together, and he didn't care about money. I guess I was too realistic and materialistic."
"So you haven't had any contact with him?"
"Yes, it was very frequent at the beginning, but he couldn't even see the messages, he blocked me. Later, it became less frequent, because every message I sent had a red exclamation mark in front of it, and it was really hard for me to persist alone. Later, I rarely sent messages.
"During the summer vacation of my junior year, we had a high school reunion, but he didn't go. But I heard from my classmates that he had a girlfriend who was very beautiful. I felt sad at the time."
This discomfort is not only because Yu Heng has entered into a new relationship, but more because of his powerlessness towards Yu Heng. The other party is a straight man, and when he is with him, he may be able to do zero with difficulty, but once he regains his freedom, in the choice of relationship, he will naturally return to a relationship between a man and a woman... This is an area that Liang Yu is not familiar with.
And if Yu Heng found a boyfriend, no matter who he was, Liang Yu was confident that he would not be outdone, or he was confident that he would not be inferior to him in any aspect. Even if there was a gap, he would definitely try his best to close it.
But the other person is a woman... This is the only thing Liang Yu cannot change. He can become excellent, he can change his personality, but he can't change his gender, and he doesn't want to change it.
Why didn't Liang Yu want to provoke Qiao Shuyan? Because he was afraid that one day he would repeat Yu Heng's fate.
He doesn't have the confidence now that he can make a straight man become gay for him, and make him do so for a lifetime.
Anything can change, let alone fragile feelings.
The two of them drank up the bartender's third glass of wine, and without waiting for the fourth glass of wine, it was served.
Apart from Qiao Shiyan, it was the first time for Qiao Shuyan to listen to someone else's love story, and it made him want to do nothing but drink. It was also the first time that Qiao Shuyan felt that wine was really a good thing.
When he saw Yu Heng and Xiao Chu one after another, he felt really uncomfortable. The inexplicable bitterness gradually spread to his entire chest, and it was difficult to control. But after drinking one glass of wine after another, he even forgot why he felt uncomfortable, or why he felt uncomfortable. He picked up the glass and took another sip, and continued to ask: "Then when did you get together with Xiao Chu?"
Liang Yu also took a sip of wine, and then said slowly: "During the second semester of my junior year. Xiao Chu would do anything to get what he liked. He started pursuing me soon after the start of my freshman year, and he was even more relentless than I was pursuing Yu Heng." He smiled self-deprecatingly, his dark eyes filled with disdain, "So, when I felt that I should completely let go of Yu Heng, I agreed to him."
In the past, Liang Yu always felt very conflicted about what kind of feelings he had towards Xiao Chu. It was a very complicated emotion, mixed with resentment towards Yu Heng, disdain towards himself and guilt towards Xiao Chu... It was like a big pot of stew, but it was full of things he didn't like to eat, but he might have been hungry at the time, so he had to eat something even if it didn't taste good.
Facts have proven that people must look forward when they are alive, but looking forward sometimes comes at a price, a price that may be invisible, but it follows you everywhere.
"When I first got together with Xiao Chu, I wasn't very happy. He looked younger than me, so I just treated him like a younger brother. Later, day after day, as time went by, I began to see some of his good points. As I said just now, he is a very determined person with clear goals. Once he has an idea, he will realize it no matter the cost.
"Later, I always thought that he might have treated me as a research topic... First he studied how to make me nod and agree to him, then he studied how to make me like him, and finally he studied how to make me unable to leave him.
"Unfortunately, during the process of achieving the second step, I decided to study abroad." Liang Yu drank the wine in his glass and continued, "After going abroad, I realized belatedly that his second goal might have been achieved."
Liang Yu sighed and smiled bitterly, "Maybe it was just bad luck. It was at this time that I found out about his affair."
"What?"
Although he received a huge amount of information that night, Qiao Shuyan was still dumbfounded when he heard Liang Yu say the word "cheating". Then, he was filled with anger. The uncontrollable anger kept gathering in his chest, but he had no way to vent it and could only let this emotion surround him.
Qiao Shuyan was not so angry even when he was pointed at and scolded by the patient's family. He turned his anger into drinking and drank the remaining half of the wine in the glass.
Alcohol has incredible power. The burning sensation filled his mouth and stomach, and gradually invaded his heart from top to bottom and from bottom to top, slowly calming the nameless anger in his heart. Then, the only emotion left was heartache.
At this moment, the bitter smile on Liang Yu's face made Qiao Shuyan feel distressed. He said nothing more, but reached out and pulled Liang Yu over.
Liang Yu was caught off guard by an embrace, with the other person's hand gently caressing his back, just like that day on the bench in the hospital park, except that now the two of them had switched roles.
"Liang Yu, Liang Yu, don't be sad, I will always be with you from now on." Qiao Shuyan whispered to comfort him, his voice was so gentle that Liang Yu almost cried. He didn't know that Qiao Shuyan had such a side to him.
Liang Yu was not comfortable in Qiao Shuyan's arms, but perhaps he was drunk at the moment and was unwilling to leave such a warm embrace.
How many years has it been? Liang Yu thought, how many years has it been since I was in such an embrace.
He closed his eyes slightly, clearing his mind of everything about the past. He no longer thought of Yu Heng or Xiao Chu, only himself, and... Qiao Shuyan, who seemed impossible to delete.
