FOG

Having had a mutual exchange of feelings, even if they werent like others whod pledge their undying love amidst the flowers under the moonlight, the least they could do was say a word or two to show their love.

However, it seemed as though some sort of switch had been turned on for Shi Luos tear glands and he simply couldnt control it.

The more Shi Luo forced himself not to remember, the less he could control it. He was only silently choking back sobs at first and then he buried his face against his wrists as he sobbed and sniffled.

Afterwards, it was like his insides were hurting, hurting so much that he couldnt stop from bending at the waist. Shi Luo didnt want to lose control like this, but at that moment when Yu Sui confessed, it was like hed established a link to Yu Suis senses.

At this moment, Shi Luo felt all the feelings and pain Yu Sui had been suppressing in his heart for the past two years.

Shi Luo felt that he was about to explode from how much his heart ached.

If possible, Shi Luo would have rather that Yu Sui only started liking him just now.

Tears freely streaked down his face. Shi Luo clenched his fists, his shoulders twitched and jerked as though he were having spasms.

My God... At first, Yu Sui simply thought that Shi Luo felt moved. Hed cry a couple of tears and thatd be it. But this posture of Shi Luos was strange. Yu Sui approached and stood to his side, putting his arm around Shi Luos shoulder.

He asked quietly, Whats wrong? Dont cry...why are you crying this much?

Shi Luo was so choked with emotions that he couldnt say a word. He shook his head, still unable to stop his tears.

Yu Sui stroked Shi Luos forehead, Whats wrong? Are you not feeling well?

Shi Luo still shook his head. His body didnt feel unwell but his heart was in so much pain. It was in so much pain that he wished he could go back to two years ago and confess to Yu Sui; tell him that he liked him and that hed wait for him no matter how many years itd take.

Shi Luo slid down from the deck chair and crouched on the ground, not uttering a sound, trembling all over.

I told you not dig into this. Yu Sui bowed his head, feeling distressed, and placed a kiss on top of Shi Luos head. He coaxed, voice hoarse, I know everything...

Yu Sui whispered into Shi Luos ear, You feel distressed for me, I understand...

When Shi Luo heard this, tears fell even more fiercely.

He felt distressed, uncontrollably distressed, so distressed that he felt like dying.

Only the living room separated the small courtyard from the dining room where their teammates were.

At first, the two of them only spoke in low voices so as not to attract the others attention. But Shi Luo cried too intensely and theyve also been out for a while so it was impossible not have been noticed.

In the dining room, their teammates, who were happily eating crayfish, looked around and noticed that there were two missing. So, naturally, they went to look for them.

When Zhou Huo, Old Qiao, Chen Huo, and Puppy opened the door to look for the two in the yard, they were met with this scene.

The four of them were dumbfounded. Zhou Huo cautiously asked, What...happened...here...?

Everything happened so fast; Shi Luo completely forgot that his teammates were still inside on the first floor of the base. Shi Luo hardly ever shed tears in front of others, but at this moment, he was crying to the point of collapse.

He buried his face in his arms; inwardly, he said, just f*cking kill me already.

Fortunately, the ever gentle Yu Sui, always tries to help Shi Luo out of embarrassing situations.

With one arm around Shi Luo, Yu Sui looked at this startled group of four and said, Hed finally reached the top 100 in the national server after so much hardships. It hit him just now.

Shi Luo: ...

Shi Luo wiped away these tears hed shed for finally reaching the top 100 and wanted to die even more.

Hearing this, Zhou Huo was suddenly struck by a bout of self-blame and stuttered out, N-no, was it&#k2026; so difficult? I&#k2026; didnt think of that.

Old Qiao was overly shocked and blamed himself as well. Although time was a bit tight to level up this month, I didnt expect the pressure to be this heavy. Next&#k2026;next time, you guys tell us earlier, alright?

Chen Huo looked confused. He tilted his head and took a closer look at Shi Luo. He was left speechless, ...you were that moved?

Chen Huo gulped and whispered to Puppy, When I won the World Championship, I never cried like that.

Puppy glanced at Yu Sui and knew what was going on in an instant. Despite that, he couldnt help hitting Shi Luo when hes down. Oh, you know. Hes young, thats normal.

Are young people...so emotional? Chen Huo still found it hard to understand. Who the f*ck would believe that? Last seasons no. 1 striker on the national server, crying his eyes out because he got into the top 100?

Old Qiao, who was completely out of the loop, said sympathetically, Can you say this seasons the same as last? Everyones under a lot of pressure.

Still! Not like this! Chen Huo, who was equally out of the loop, couldnt help but say, If hes crying like this now, what about when we fight against NSN in two days? Really, Evil, lets agree right now. Regardless whether NSN wins or loses, were not allowed to cry, alright?

Let alone me, your old club, NSN wouldnt be able to stand it either.

Shi Luo clung tightly to Yu Suis T-shirt, eager to get a knife and chop up Chen Huo.

Its fine, its fine. Are you just gonna go on and on? Yu Sui stopped himself from smiling. He sent Puppy a look. Get going.

Puppy was grinning from ear to ear as he pulled Chen Huo back in through the door. Almost done. Although our team is the heartless sort, everyone has times when their emotions get the better of them, right? Going...

Zhou Huo had mostly figured it out by now. Eyes lit up with joy, he hurriedly pushed the others back to the base. He was the last one in and when he turned to close the door, he couldnt help but take a second probing look.

He left a kindly reminder, Youve got a lot going on but no matter what, you should go to bed soon, alright? Dont stay up too late.

After being interrupted like this, he couldnt find it in himself to cry anymore even if he suffered another emotional collapse. Shi Luo wiped his face, sniffled and said, ...Im fine.

You scared me to death. Yu Sui smiled helplessly, You suddenly...

Shi Luo calmed down and felt embarrassed. He pulled up the hem of his T-shirt and wiped his face, and said vaguely, I said Im fine.

Shi Luo had cried so hard just now that even his forehead had turned red. Yu Suis hand was on the cool side and he reached out to put the back of his hand against Shi Luos hot forehead. Shi Luo hadnt fully adapted to their current relationship yet and he involuntarily avoided the touch.

Yu Suis hand paused. Im not allowed to touch?

Shi Luo raised his eyes to look at Yu Sui. He pursed his lower lip, and moved forward closer to Yu Sui, putting his head against Yu Suis hand without a word.

Shi Luos hard white, slightly rough hair rubbed against Yu Suis fingers. Yu Sui touched it lightly and asked to make certain, So, are we together now?

Shi Luo was silent for a while, then let out an en.

Yu Sui breathed a sigh of relief. Finally.

Yu Sui turned his head and looked into living room. Their teammates were still there. It really wasnt appropriate to take things a step further. Although the timing wasnt right, there were a lot of things, Yu Sui wanted to do.

Yu Sui thought for a bit and asked, Do you want to make it public?

They wouldnt need to hide it from these people anymore if they make it public.

Yu Sui had come out to his family a long time ago and they were indifferent to it. Shi Luos relationship with his family...was almost negligible. Even if someone from there would object, Shi Luo would probably wouldnt take it seriously.

Shi Luo rubbed his head on Yu Suis hand, and after a while, shook his head. Lets not for now.

Yu Suis eyebrows rose up.

It hasnt been long since the team was formed and we havent produced any real results yet. If we really make it public...

Others would only pay attention to our teams gossip. Shi Luo said dully, If we lose someday, theyll definitely say its because you were too busy doing gaoji too keep you head in the game.

Shi Luo raised his head and glanced at Yu Sui and grumbled quietly, Youve got enough haters already.

Yu Sui laughed, You think Im afraid of this?

Ill be annoyed. Shi Luo frowned, Its annoying when I see them shooting their idiot mouths off.

Yu Sui gently riffled through Shi Luos hair with his fingers, and said in a low voice, You feel bad for me?

Shi Luo lowered his head and rubbed against Yu Suis hand before nodding.

V/\\IssT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n)./ for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

Yu Sui couldnt help casting another look at the people in the living room, grinding his teeth.

Shi Luo feeling bad for him made him want to dote on him. Yu Sui really wanted to something.

But, he must respect the little boys opinion. Shi Luos thinking wasnt wrong.

Yu Sui has long stopped caring about what other people thought, but that wasnt possible for Shi Luo.

Yu Sui could accept people twisting his image but Shi Luo couldnt.

Okay. Except for not being able to do anything blatantly, making it public or not was all the same for Yu Sui. The only thing Yu Sui cared about was his relationship with Shi Luo. When you want to make it public, let me know.

Shi Luo gave an en.

The door to the base was pushed open a crack, Zhou Huo held his breath and craned his neck out. He whispered a reminder, Itll be two oclock soon.

Shi Luo instantly leaned back half a foot and turned his head to avoid Zhou Huo.

I got it. Yu Sui stood up helplessly and reached out a hand to Shi Luo. Lets go.

Shi Luo grabbed Yu Suis hand and got up. The two of them entered the base together.

Shi Luos eyes were still red, and he didnt want to be seen. So upon entering the base, he kept his head down adn hurried upstairs back to his own room.

Yu Sui fell a few steps behind. Watching Shi Luos back, he corners of his lips ticked up slightly.

Its done? Puppy was sitting on the living room sofa. He raised his eyebrows. Hm?

Yu Sui hushed him but still couldnt help smiling.

Puppy curled his lips. He was a lot more perceptive than Chen Huo and Old Qiao. He had more or less guessed that the two of them had gotten together and furthermore, that they didnt intend to make things public.

Naturally, he wouldnt say much, he merely said enviously, A good old age, near the water platform, together from morning til night, what a d*mned thing.

Old Qiao was packing up the takeaway boxes theyd left piled up on the table. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked in confusion, What kind of one-man word game are you playing? If youre not going to sleep yet, then help me clean up. Everyone just left after eating!

When the cleaning up comes tomorrow shell make you clean these all up.

When Puppy heard work, he slipped away at lightning speed, rushing away at top speed.

On the second floor of the base, Shi Luo spent a long time washing his face with cold water. He looked up in the mirror and after a while, he couldnt help but smile.

Were they really...really together?

Shi Luo suddenly felt a little uncertain.

Just now, Yu Sui really did confess to him, right?

He even said hed liked him since way back when he was still a wild anchor.

The person he liked, liked him back and whats more hed liked him way earlier. What kind of luck was this?

Shi Luo wiped his face and lay on the bed. He calmed down. The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncertain but he could still clearly picture that scene just now. Looking back, there were so many clues to be found.

Shi Luo murmured, He likes me.

When he thought of Yu Sui, he couldnt help but think that this person liked him. When he thought about how Yu Sui had liked him for a long time, he couldnt help but feel unhappy and when he felt unhappy, he got the urge to kill Ji Yanhan.

Shi Luo couldnt help sighing over his own frightening sixth sense. When he first lay eyes on him, he already felt that this person was no good and he was right! That beast had truly had stood in his way lots of times.

Shi Luo used his arm as a pillow and couldnt help but blame Yu Sui.

When Yu Sui was gentle, he was really gentle, and when he was cruel, he was also really cruel.

Back then, he truly had left without divulging even a bit of what he felt.

Shi Luo closed his eyes and started feeling unavoidably distressed.

Shi Luo lay on the bed, tossing and turning. Hed received too much stimulation and he still couldnt fall asleep after a short while. Like turning over a cake, he turned over and it was after hour before he started feeling sleepy. Half awake and half asleep, he felt a bit regretful.

On the first day of his confession, he hadnt f*cking managed to seize any benefit!

He unexpectedly left the original packaging unopened and actually let the man whose first kiss he snatched away just walk away like that...
