"Why?" Tongtong asked, her face full of confusion and her brows furrowed.
“He has normal sexual orientation and a normal life. I can’t do that for my own sake… that would be too selfish.” Wang Boyang’s face was full of worry, and his voice was slightly low and hoarse.
"So you're not planning to tell him how you feel?" Tongtong's eyes were filled with urgency as she stared intently at her brother, Wang Boyang.
"Hmm." Wang Boyang nodded slightly, his eyes somewhat dim.
"Then what are you going to do?" Tongtong's tone was filled with urgency. "A one-sided crush that ended without a trace?"
"Keep your voice down." Wang Boyang sighed softly, forcing a bitter smile. "Liking is unrestrained, love is restraint."
He couldn't bear to see Gu Yan suffer even the slightest grievance or harm.
So how could he possibly allow Gu Yan to be subjected to strange looks, exclusion, and criticism from the outside world because of his affection?
"What a romantic," Tongtong shook her head helplessly, her eyes filled with both sympathy and a hint of admiration.
As she spoke, Tongtong handed the tablet in her hand to her brother, "There are a lot of videos in here. Study them carefully so you won't be embarrassed later when you don't know how to use them."
“I don’t need it,” Wang Boyang refused.
"You need to. It's better to be prepared. What if he falls for you someday?" Tongtong insisted.
"What do you need?" As the two were arguing, Gu Yan came out of the bathroom.
He changed into black silk pajamas, the fabric of which was as smooth as flowing water, clinging to his slender figure. The neckline was slightly open, revealing a small patch of his fair chest, exuding an unintentional sexiness.
A towel was draped over his hair as he lazily dried it. His sleeves hung loosely on his arms, swaying gently with the movement of drying his hair; his arms were white and had a masculine, bony shape.
Under the light, his pajamas shimmered with a faint luster, and through them, one could vaguely see his slender yet strong waist, which made his posture appear even more upright.
Wang Boyang stared wide-eyed. They had lived together for a month, but it was summer then, and Gu Yan always wore simple T-shirts, exuding youthful energy.
Today's pajamas have a different style, and they look exactly like the male models on my sister's tablet.
But Gu Yan's temperament and charm are a hundred times better than those male models.
"Brother Gu Yan, you're so handsome!" Tongtong couldn't help but exclaim sincerely.
He's so handsome, no wonder his brother is so infatuated with him.
"I know I'm handsome," Gu Yan said with a narcissistic smile. He looked at Wang Boyang and asked, "Do you have a hairdryer?"
"Yes, I'll get it for you." Wang Boyang abruptly withdrew his infatuated gaze, stood up in a panic, and hurriedly went to find a hair dryer.
Tongtong quickly picked up her phone and snapped a series of photos of Gu Yan. "Brother Gu Yan, please allow me to preserve your beauty."
"Go ahead and take the picture," Gu Yan agreed with a smile, even striking a few cool poses in the process.
However, Tongtong became increasingly impolite, making Gu Yan pose like the male model on the tablet.
Gu Yan quickly waved his hand and said, "Spare me, I can't do such a sexy pose."
Tongtong persisted, pleading, "Please, Brother Gu Yan. You'll definitely look a thousand times more handsome in the photos."
"No, that's disgusting. Let your brother take the picture," Gu Yan firmly refused.
Tongtong was about to continue pleading when Wang Boyang interrupted her, saying, "Alright, don't force others, okay?"
As Wang Boyang spoke, he plugged the hair dryer into the socket, saying, "Come here and dry your hair."
Gu Yan walked over, took the hairdryer, and carefully dried his hair, strands of hair swaying gently in the warm air.
Every move they make can be captured in a cartoon.
Wang Boyang looked away, picked up a comfortable set of pajamas, and went into the bathroom.
Tongtong blinked her bright, lively eyes at Gu Yan, who had just finished drying his hair, and said in a clear voice, "Brother Gu Yan, that's my brother's room. You can go in and sleep first."
After hearing this, Gu Yan nodded slightly and said without hesitation, "Okay."
Gu Yan gently pushed open the door to Wang Boyang's room and went inside.
The room was simply furnished, with a large, spacious bed taking up most of the room, covered with plain, off-white sheets.
Beside the bed is a wooden bedside table with a simple table lamp on it.
A delicate landscape painting hangs on the opposite wall, adding a touch of tranquility to the room. A desk sits by the window, neatly stacked with books and stationery.
Gu Yan's gaze inadvertently swept over several photo frames on the desk. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were photos of Wang Boyang from his high school days.
In one photo, Wang Boyang is full of youthful energy, wearing a school uniform and smiling brightly. It's a moment of running with his classmates on the playground. Another photo shows him standing on the podium, holding a trophy, his eyes full of confidence and pride.
Gu Yan slowly sat down at his desk, opened his phone, and played a game with great interest.
At this moment, Wang Boyang came out of the bathroom, picked up a hair dryer, and started drying his hair.
His younger sister, Tongtong, skipped and hopped to the side of him, teasing him with a mischievous smile, "Brother, we're going to share a bed now, aren't you happy?"
Wang Boyang frowned slightly and said irritably, "Shut up."
Tongtong persisted, smiling as she continued, "My brother is so happy."
Wang Boyang rolled his eyes at Tongtong, "I'll sleep on the sofa."
Tongtong's eyes widened, and she asked in confusion, "What? Why?"
Wang Boyang's expression turned serious, and he said sternly, "Go back to your room and go to sleep right now. Keep your mouth shut. If you dare to utter a single word about my affairs, I'll kill you."
"Okay." Tongtong pouted unhappily and turned to go into her room.
After Wang Boyang finished speaking, he unplugged the hair dryer and strode into the house.
Gu Yan had just finished a game when he saw Wang Boyang come in, so he turned off his phone.
Wang Boyang looked at Gu Yan and said gently, "Go to sleep early, you have to go to Y country tomorrow morning."
Gu Yan replied, "Okay, I'll go to sleep right away."
Wang Boyang continued, "Call me if you need anything. I'm on the sofa outside."
Gu Yan looked surprised and asked, "You're going to sleep on the sofa?"
Wang Boyang nodded and replied, "Mm."
Gu Yan quickly said, "I'll just sleep on the bed, it's so big."
"I snore and grind my teeth, which disturbs your rest."
"Then I'll sleep on the sofa."
Wang Boyang was adamant, saying, "You're the guest, I'll sleep on the sofa, don't argue."
Gu Yan said helplessly, "Fine." After saying that, he lay down on the bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and then said lazily, "Turn off the light."
Upon hearing this, Wang Boyang snapped the lights off, plunging the room into darkness.
Wang Boyang left and closed the door.
Lying on the sofa, she stared at the door to Gu Yan's room, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
His hand unconsciously reached for the tablet his sister had left him, and he secretly glanced at it. Was that too much to ask?
