Chapter 37 Returning to the Initial Distance "Why are you like a gay man like him,...
Gu Shiying knew that Fu Huan liked her earlier than Fu Huan thought.
But he didn't expect Fu Huan to expose this matter at this time.
Indeed, Fu Huan's affection for him has been particularly obvious recently, and it is difficult for him to pretend not to know. He has also deliberately avoided contact with Fu Huan, but some subconscious evasive movements and glances are unavoidable.
Gu Shiying only took three seconds to figure out why Fu Huan knew that he had a crush on him. He even knew that Gu Shiying didn't want to go to the cafeteria to eat and ate snacks in the dormitory. He observed him very carefully and could not hide his recent avoidance of Fu Huan from him.
Fu Huan is even more sensitive and meticulous than Gu Shiying knows.
Perhaps he was used to hearing Fu Huan's inner thoughts, and he only needed to listen without having to face them directly. He could just complain and digest it himself. And when he was about to convince himself to get used to it, Fu Huan suddenly laid out his secret love for him in the open and confronted him. He no longer had a secret crush on her and just played his cards straight out.
Gu Shiying was caught off guard.
He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the door handle, and his palms seemed to be sweating from nervousness.
"W-what?" Gu Shiying didn't dare to look directly at Fu Huan. He knew the look in Fu Huan's eyes when he looked at him, and meeting his gaze would only make him more at a loss.
Fu Huan told her more clearly: "I like you, Gu Shiying."
Gu Shiying had no choice but to avoid it.
If it weren't for the enclosed space inside the car, perhaps Gu Shiying would have a reason to pretend not to hear it. He could just scurry back to the dormitory and act like an ostrich.
Fu Huan knew him very well and chose to confess to him in a closed and absolutely soundproof car.
Why couldn't Fu Huan bear it any longer? What went wrong?
Gu Shiying didn't know how to respond. He kept his lips closed and said nothing. One hand tightly grasped the handle while the other hand pinched the clothes. This set of clothes was bought by Fu Huan yesterday. How could he not have thought that the two of them wore the same pajamas last night and the same clothes today. In other words, it was a couple's set.
Perhaps Fu Huan did not expect to get an immediate response from Gu Shiying. He was already mentally prepared to deal with the situation.
"I know you know I like you. Since you know I'm gay, I don't want to pretend I don't know in front of you."
"I'm sorry to bother you."
Gu Shiying sighed softly: "I thought we could be friends." She didn't expect Fu Huan's confession to come so casually.
Fu Huan was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Shiying to respond to him so quickly. He was not frightened by his sudden confession.
He lowered his head, and unknowingly, his nails dug into the flesh of his palm, without feeling the pain.
"Because I like you, I can't just be friends with you. I want to tell you that I have bad intentions towards you."
Fu Huan paused for two seconds and emphasized again: "Gu Shiying, I'm sorry, I can't just be friends with you." In fact, he was saying this to himself.
In the past, he had imagined countless times in his mind the scene of confessing his love to Gu Shiying, the scene of confessing with flowers in both hands like in idol dramas, the scene of forcing love by banging against the wall like in domineering CEO novels, and the scene of standing on the rooftop and slowly confessing his love to the other party.
However, all of this was abandoned by him after Gu Shiying was not angry about following him yesterday. Gu Shiying gave him courage and also made his secret love return to reality.
What he liked was the living Gu Shiying, not the Gu Shiying in his imagination. After getting to know her, he realized that he liked her more than he thought.
He couldn't help it. First, he wanted to tell Gu Shiying that he liked him and didn't want to leave any regrets about his love; second, he couldn't move forward. Gu Shiying couldn't accept it, and their contact would have to end here. He couldn't stand Gu Shiying falling in love with a girl, getting married and having children one day.
He thought he would go crazy.
Gu Shiying couldn't give Fu Huan an answer, but Fu Huan knew it very well: "Fu Huan, I..."
Click.
The car door locked.
The bitterness on Fu Huan's face could not be concealed, and his vocal cords were tightening: "You probably didn't sleep well last night. Go back and have a good rest."
Gu Shiying nodded and said nothing more.
Of course, he knew that the person who should have a good rest should be Fu Huan.
The paper was torn apart so suddenly that Gu Shiying felt that no matter what he said, it would be wrong.
Fu Huan's confession is completely different from what he really thinks.
This didn't seem like a confession. He was just revealing his feelings to him and making his thoughts clear, without any expectation or possible affirmative response from him.
No matter how heroic the voice of Fu Huan sounded to Gu Shiying, he showed more despair on the surface.
He felt Fu Huan's despair.
A confession that leads to no results becomes a tragedy.
They were obviously having a lot of fun yesterday. It’s so nice to be friends. Can’t friends play together?
Gu Shiying thought with extreme regret.
He got out of the car, closed the door gently, then turned around and walked slowly upstairs. He tried to act calm, but he didn't seem to be so indifferent. He couldn't be like the girls in the past who would confess their love and then think about what kind of questions the teacher would give in the next math test the next second.
The car behind Gu Shiying turned on its lights. Fu Huan did not return to the dormitory, he left.
On this day, some people have an extraordinary life; on this night, some people are destined to toss and turn.
The school entered the exam week.
The first course to be completed was the elective course. Gu Shiying finished it without much effort, and the teacher even praised him for his rapid progress.
"Ying'er, you swam as fast as me today. Fu Huan's teaching is really good."
Zhang Zhishi knew that Fu Huan had been teaching Gu Shiying, and as long as Gu Shiying didn't ask him to have dinner, he would basically be with Fu Huan.
Gu Shiying's lips stiffened slightly, and he couldn't quite muster up any emotion: "He is quite powerful."
Zhang Zhi: "Why haven't you been with him these past two days?"
Gu Shiying: "We are roommates, and we each have our own things to do. We have exams coming up, and everyone is busy."
Zhang Zhi didn't think much about it. He pinched his shoulders and said, "Are you going to the library tonight? I'll go there early to reserve a seat. If I don't review now, I'll be doomed this semester."
Gu Shiying agreed without thinking: "Go."
It is unknown whether Fu Huan has returned to the dormitory since Fu Huan confronted him, but the two of them have not met again. They have returned to the way they got along before Gu Shiying heard Fu Huan's true feelings.
If we can't be friends, then we can only be roommates.
Gu Shiying didn't want their relationship to become so strained, but he had no choice. This was Fu Huan's choice, and he had to respect it. He couldn't just blindly enjoy the other person's kindness to him, especially when this kindness came with a special purpose. Not only Fu Huan couldn't bear it, he probably couldn't bear it either.
There is nothing he can do at the moment, and keeping distance is the best outcome, which is what Gu Shiying has always wanted. However, their relationship has plummeted, and he needs to adapt.
In the evening, after dinner, Zhang Zhi went to the library to reserve a seat, and Gu Shiying went back to the dormitory to get his pad before going to the library.
【Zhang Zhi: Come quickly, we have your favorite aloe vera coconut water.】
【Zhang Zhi: [picture.jpg]】
【Gu Shiying: I’ll be there soon.】
Zhang Zhi actually ordered the aloe vera coconut water that he has recently fallen in love with. He was quite considerate.
When Gu Shiying found Zhang Zhizhan's seat, he saw Liang Qi sitting next to him, and the other party waved to him.
Zhang Zhi lowered his voice and said, "What a coincidence! Our Brother Liang also happened to be here, and he treated me to the aloe vera coconut water."
Liang Qi shook his index finger: "NONONO, it's not me who treated you, it's your brother Huan who bought it. He buys several cups a day lately, and if he can't finish it, he asks me to help him digest it."
Gu Shiying silently looked at the light green aloe vera coconut water in front of him. There were still water droplets hanging on the cup due to the rising temperature.
Liang Qi also pointed behind Gu Shiying and said, "Look, the real rich man is here."
Gu Shiying turned around and met Fu Huan's gaze. The latter paused and then sat down on the seat next to Gu Shiying without saying anything. It turned out that the book and another glass of aloe vera coconut water next to him were his.
The two haven't seen each other for four days.
In an instant, he went from being a familiar roommate to an unfamiliar stranger. Gu Shiying didn't know how to face Fu Huan, so he stopped talking.
He didn't think about changing seats. It was not the first day he knew that Fu Huan liked him, and he knew more than Fu Huan did.
The library became an excuse for them to keep silent and study hard for the exam.
Gu Shiying read a book for a while, put on headphones to listen to the video, and wanted to write down the key points, but found that he didn't bring a pen. Just as he was about to ask Zhang Zhishi, a water-based pen appeared on his right hand. It was pushed over by Fu Huan, but the other party didn't even look at Gu Shiying.
Gu Shiying was not pretentious. He picked up the pen and used it. He even drank coconut water, so it was no big deal to borrow the pen.
Liang Qi and Fu Huan stayed in the library for a relatively short time and left around nine o'clock. Gu Shiying and Zhang Zhi stayed until ten o'clock in the evening. When he packed up and returned to the dormitory, he saw the pen still in his hand and smiled helplessly.
After leaving the library, Zhang Zhi rubbed his stomach and said, "Ying'er, I'm hungry."
Gu Shiying didn't eat much at night, but he had some rice: "Let's go to the supermarket to buy oden?"
Zhang Zhi put his arm around Gu Shiying's shoulders and said, "Let's go!"
Gu Shiying shook off his hand: "It's so hot, don't hold me."
Zhang Zhi: "What's wrong? What's wrong with hugging? Good brothers can't hug each other."
Gu Shiying rolled his eyes: "Get away, you stink of sweat." Fu Huan always smelled good, and he could now understand why girls would complain about boys smelling bad.
Zhang Zhi sniffed himself and said, "No, this is the smell of a man."
Gu Shiying still didn't let Zhang Zhi walk close to him: "Go back and wash yourself well, your crush will love you even more."
It turns out that he also likes brothers who are cleaner.
Zhang Zhi clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Why are you like him, a gay man, and suddenly you like to be clean?"
This made Gu Shiying's heart beat fast, but she still smiled and kicked Zhang Zhi: "Get out of here, I've always been very clean."
However, when the two left, they didn't know that there was a pair of eyes in a car parked nearby, closely following Gu Shiying's back.
He murmured softly, "Gu Shiying."
After two weeks of exams on Monday, we entered the hot summer, which is also the long-awaited summer vacation for college students.
Some students stayed in school to work part-time, while others went home directly after the exams.
Among the four people in dormitory 504, Yang Shuheng was the first to finish the exam. He left school a week in advance to participate in a reality show. Fu Huan had not returned to live there for a long time, leaving only Guan Yu and Gu Shiying.
The two left on the same day, Guan Yu flew home in the morning, and Gu Shiying took the high-speed rail ticket in the afternoon.
After Gu Shiying finished checking the items he was going to take, he saw the GoPro on the table and was a little hesitant about whether to take it home. In the end, he put it in his suitcase.
It turned out that Fu Huan could have completely avoided him, and they really couldn't be friends.
After checking the water and electricity in the dormitory, he locked the door and dragged his suitcase to the high-speed rail station.
As soon as I went downstairs, I ran into Liang Qi who was turning his car keys.
Liang Qi pretended to be casual and asked, "Are you going home?"
Gu Shiying: "Yes."
Liang Qi: "High-speed rail station or airport?"
Gu Shiying: "I'm going to the high-speed rail station."
Liang Qi: "Well, it's just on the way, I'll give you a ride."
Gu Shiying smiled and declined: "Thank you, no need, I called Didi."
Liang Qi: "Okay, have a good trip."
Since Fu Huan decided to avoid him, he should respect Fu Huan's decision, keep a distance from him in all aspects, and return to the original state of two parallel lines.
The moment Gu Shiying's back disappeared, a person walked out from behind the school bus stop.
Liang Qi: "He knows."
Fu Huan: "Yeah."
Liang Qi: "Don't cry, I won't comfort you."
Fu Huan: "Get lost."
