Try again
The TV in Rong Yi's house was very large, with clear picture quality and natural colors. Even the freckles on the protagonist's face were fully displayed. However, Li Mantao's mind was not on the movie at all at this time.
He drank some honey water and glanced at Rong Yi from time to time.
Rong Yi seemed to be watching the movie very attentively and didn't notice his little movements at all.
Tsk.
Should I say that he is worthy of being the originator of the term "selling homosexuality"? That "kiss" that was not really a kiss seemed to have no effect on Rong Yi at all.
First kiss?
Is this right!
The more Li Mantao looked at Rong Yi's calm face, the angrier he became.
They were both first kisses, so why was Rong Yi so calm while he was so panicked that he doubted his sexual orientation? He was also forced to watch such a horrifying thing.
Could it be that Rong Yi is a straight man, that's why he is so calm...
Wait, Li Mantao sat up a little straighter with a serious expression.
Could it be that... I am gay?
No, no, speaking of handsome guys, Kong Zhong is also a handsome guy, although he is a little bit inferior to Rong Yi. But if it was Kong Zhong who did that mask kiss with him, Li Mantao would definitely just want to laugh.
Moreover, if he liked men, he should have been very excited after watching that kind of movie, but he was so disgusted that he almost vomited.
So is Rong Yi a straight man?
Halfway through the film, Li Mantao didn't pay any attention and spent all his time daydreaming.
Rong Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, sighed softly, paused the movie, turned around and looked at Li Mantao, "Manman, if you have anything to say, you can just tell me directly. Don't keep it in your heart."
Li Mantao was startled by his sudden turn. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Then I told you not to be angry."
"I won't be mad at you."
"That... is..." Li Mantao picked at his nails anxiously, "Brother, can I ask if you like boys or girls?"
Rong Yi paused, "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
Li Mantao looked up at everything except Rong Yi, and whispered, "If you like girls, and we continue to hype up our relationship, wouldn't your future partner be very sad if they found out?"
Rong Yi was silent for a long time before he said, "I'm not interested in women."
Li Mantao looked at Rong Yi suddenly, "Then you..."
"But," Rong Yi interrupted Li Mantao and continued, "I'm not interested in men either."
Li Mantao asked doubtfully: "Huh?"
I don't like women, nor do I like men...
Li Mantao took a moment to digest the information. "So, in fact, you are frigid? Asexual? Or celibate?"
Is that why you accepted that "kiss" so well?
He threw out a bunch of words without any reason. Rong Yi listened and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "These are not important, Manman, you don't need to worry about my affairs. Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, or if it affects your...future lover, we can also terminate our cooperation."
Li Mantao pursed his lips, glanced at Rong Yi, and whispered, "I don't know either..."
His future lover?
Li Mantao considers himself quite open to new things. For example, even though Kong Zhong is gay, he doesn't discriminate against him or fear him. They're all human beings, and what they like or dislike is irrelevant to him. What matters more to Li Mantao is the feeling he gets when interacting with others.
But when it comes to lover, Li Mantao subconsciously thinks of a gentle and lovely girl. They will fall in love, get married, have children or not, in short, live together for the rest of their lives.
Li Mantao has always imagined that this person is a girl.
And tonight, that "kiss" with Rong Yi made him suddenly realize that he might not be... straight.
This means that the lover who will accompany him in the future may not necessarily be a girl, but may also be a boy.
"Manman?"
Li Mantao came back to his senses and met Rong Yi's questioning eyes. He couldn't help but take another close look at Rong Yi's face. It had to be said that with this face, even if Rong Yi did nothing, people would still come to give him money.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Brother, I'm a little... a little unsure about my sexual orientation."
Rong Yi's eyelashes trembled, and she sat closer, asking softly, "What's wrong?"
Only after he said this did Li Mantao realize that something was wrong.
He just had "intimate contact" with Rong Yi at night, and now he starts to doubt his sexual orientation. Anyone who hears this will probably think that he has strange thoughts about Rong Yi.
If I tell Rong Yi, wouldn’t that be like admitting guilt?
But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. If he doesn't explain it clearly, Rong Yi will probably think more about it, and then the brotherhood they have restored with great difficulty will probably be broken again.
Thinking of this, Li Mantao organized his words, raised four fingers, and confessed sincerely.
"First of all, I swear I have no bad intentions towards you."
Rong Yi fell silent again.
Although Li Mantao felt ashamed, he still spoke firmly when he thought about the misunderstanding that had occurred before due to poor communication.
"I... I always thought I was straight, but tonight, when you... kissed me, it made me feel a little strange." His face seemed to be getting hotter and hotter. Li Mantao tried his best to ignore the scorching heat and continued, "I've never been this close to anyone before. I thought it might be a little disgusting and uncomfortable..."
He paused, quickly glancing at Rong Yi's face. Seeing that Rong Yi didn't look unusual, he said, "But I wasn't completely disgusted. On the contrary, I seemed to... accept it quite well. That's why I began to doubt my sexual orientation."
As soon as the words fell, the living room fell into silence for a while, and the movie scene stayed on the uneasy yet secretly happy face of the heroine when she discovered his feelings.
After a while, Rong Yi's Adam's apple moved slightly. He looked at the boy beside him and said in a hoarse voice, "Manman, are you asking, do you like boys?"
"I don't know either." Li Mantao bent his legs in distress and rested his chin on his knees. "Actually, I just took a peek..."
He picked at his nails awkwardly, "I watched that little movie."
Rong Yi quickly asked, "Then?"
Li Mantao stammered, "I saw a guy and a girl, but didn't feel anything special. Then I saw another guy and a boy..."
Rong Yi thought of Li Mantao's retching and her eyes darkened. "What's wrong?"
"I almost vomited."
Li Mantao sighed, "I'm confused too..."
It was late at night and most of the neighbors had fallen asleep. The only sound in the living room was Li Mantao picking at his nails intermittently.
The person next to him didn't speak for a long time. Li Mantao turned his head and met Rong Yi's dark eyes.
Li Mantao opened his mouth, wanting to say that if Rong Yi felt uncomfortable, then just find someone else to hype up the couple. However, just as he said a word, Rong Yi made a suggestion that surprised him.
"Why not try again?" Rong Yi said softly, "without wearing a mask."
It took Li Mantao two seconds to understand what "try again" meant.
His eyes widened, suspecting he had misheard, "Try, try what? Kiss...?"
Compared with his extreme reaction, Rong Yi was calm and composed, and nodded calmly.
He leaned closer and whispered, "Manman is so distressed, why not try it with me and see if there will be any feelings? It's better than being entangled all the time."
Li Mantao couldn't help but move back a little and swallowed, "Are you serious?"
"I'm very happy to be able to help Manman solve his problems." Rong Yi looked at the young man in front of him, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "Aren't we good friends? Good friends should help each other, Manman, right?"
"Then there's no need to sacrifice yourself like this..."
With his back pressed against the sofa, with nowhere to retreat, Li Mantao's throat was dry. Looking at his friend who was getting closer and closer to him, he felt like a prey targeted by his natural enemy. The genes engraved in his blood made him unable to move.
The distance between them gradually shortened, and the warm yellow light was gradually blocked by Rong Yi's figure. Li Mantao was trapped in the shadows, holding his breath and waiting for his own sword of Damocles.
The hot breath rubbed the boy's soft cheek. Rong Yi lowered his eyes and greedily engraved the boy's face at this moment into his mind.
Her cheeks are rosy and as beautiful as peaches and plums.
He had imagined Li Mantao's emotional look countless times in his dreams, but none of them could compare to the scene before him.
When their breaths intertwined and their lips were about to touch, the boy suddenly pushed him away with a trembling voice and rushed into the toilet without looking back. A moment later, bursts of dry retching sounds were heard.
Rong Yi was pushed and staggered. He stood there in a daze. After a long time, he covered his eyes and pulled a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.
