Three Years and Three Years

Chapter 95: Discover a Secret

People, once they have a hobby, can never seem to stop.

Just like when they hear a song they like, they will listen to it repeatedly, or when they buy a piece of clothing they like, they will wear it repeatedly.

While Zhou Mushi was busy contributing to the world of Zhou Zhou CP, Jin Yang was eager to talk to him but couldn’t find a suitable opportunity.

After tidying up the leftovers on the dining table, he found that Zhou Mushi had already disappeared without a trace, probably having gone back to the study to work on his secret project that he didn’t want others to know about.

Jin Yang was not a fool. He had never intended to pry into Zhou Mushi’s privacy, but the current situation was so dire that he had to find out some things for himself.

Things like what CP meant, what Zhou Zhou was, and what Zhou Zhou CP meant.

Fanfiction and fan comics were a whole new world, at least for an old fossil like him.

Jin Yang had originally thought it would be difficult to find Mushi in the vast fields, but it turned out to be quite easy.

But alas, that child was very honest, or maybe just lazy, as he used his QQ username directly as his pen name when writing CP fanfiction – Little Stone.

Jin Yang didn’t have two big eyes for nothing, especially since Little Stone‘s popularity was always high. It was hard for him to not seeing it.

After clicking into the articles, he first read two pieces titled “Childhood Friends” and “Brothers in Arms”.

The writing was not particularly good, and it was clear that the writer was not a seasoned professional, but he clearly had a certain talent. The immersion was strong, making the stories readable.

Jin Yang only read half of one piece and guessed that this Little Stone was the same person he knew. The tone of the writing and the frequency of typos were just like Zhou Mushi’s.

These two pieces were stories about two boys who grew up together, and their joking, angry, and warm feelings were heartwarming. If Mushi and Zhou Hang had this kind of relationship, then he didn’t need to worry so much.

Reading his lover’s words online felt especially interesting.

Zhou Mushi stayed in the study and didn’t come out, while Jin Yang had nothing to do and kept scrolling down.

Starting from the Large Stone‘s “Laoganma Chili Sauce Noodles”, the relationship between his characters Zhouzhou and Zhou Yang seemed to have changed.

It was no longer just the pure brotherly love they had before, but there was a vague feeling of a mysterious layer of veil in their relationship.

And then “The Moon on the Horizon” almost pierced through the window paper.

The article did not describe how Mushi and Zhou Hang fell in love, but was written from the perspective of “Zhouzhou”. During his days studying abroad, he would often quietly long for the other person (Zhou Hang) at night. He was hidden in a book, a painting, a Chinese meal, or a cup of hot water, in Zhouzhou’s dreams, in the depths of his heart, even when looking at the moon, he wondered if that person was also looking at it with him.

It was after the end of a few-thousand-word short story that Zhou Hang called Zhouzhou and said he was coming to see him.

Jin Yang held his phone, and as he peered into the years of separation between Zhou Mushi and Zhou Hang through the words, his heart grew colder and colder, as if it were bleeding.

The article “The Moon on the Horizon” had a high ranking and attracted a large number of fans. It wasn’t overly sweet or explicit, but it made people feel that this kind of emotion could melt into their hearts.

After countless fans left messages requesting a sequel, Little Stone wrote a continuation called “Crossing the Sea to See You.” In the story, he and Zhou Hang were finally able to be together without the barrier of a vast ocean, walking together on campus and exploring all the fun places near their homes. When they grew tired, they cuddled on a bed in a small room and shared their innermost thoughts.

At first, their conversation was innocent, but it gradually took on a sexual tone, and in the end, they looked at each other and went into the bathroom holding hands.

As the CP fans cried out for Little Stone not to turn off the lights, this accommodating author promised to post the next chapter later today.

Jin Yang’s face turned pale. There was a small, colorful light next to him, flashing with dazzling colors, but he only saw green, a green that could illuminate a person from head to toe.

It was a surprise and unexpected that his lover could write stories, especially ones about him and someone else. Jin Yang kept telling himself that it could be fake, but the feeling that it was true was so real, almost as if he had seen it with his own eyes, reminding him that it wasn’t just Zhou Mushi’s innate ability to make people feel included, but a real fact that had happened.

The light in the study was still on, and the sound of typing could be heard from inside, even from the living room. It was obvious that Little Stone had put in a lot of effort to write. Jin Yang rubbed his tired eyes and read the article several times. The description in the article was so vivid that it made it hard for him to convince himself that it was fake.

If all of this was true, then what happened between Mushi and Zhou Hang…

Jin Yang didn’t dare to think about it. Even if something had really happened after they broke up, why bring it up now?

Zhou Mushi, who didn’t know anything, was excitedly typing away. Every time he received a new comment, he felt like he was injected with a shot of adrenaline. Plus, he was naturally talented at writing and had been nurtured by Jin Yang. ‘Driving’ was effortless for him.

The key was how beautifully he wrote. He used various techniques to make the writing appealing and pleasing to the eye. In order to improve, he had studied the language of many masters and combined it with his own experience. Soon, a 6,000-word masterpiece was born.

Jin Yang’s mood reached its lowest point when his phone beeped and a message appeared.

Reading about one’s own lover’s sexual encounters with someone else through text is more stimulating than actually watching it with your own eyes or watching it on video.

Mushi stood from his own perspective, meticulously describing the experience and satisfaction, as well as the feelings after driving. Jin Yang stared at the words, one by one, taking them in and swallowing them, like a hook that could pull out a person’s flesh and blood.

He washed up and got into bed, covered his head and tried to sleep. His eyes were extremely tired, but his body was tense and he couldn’t fall asleep.

He lay still for over half an hour, and the words in his mind were like a movie, constantly playing over and over again.

Zhou Mushi finished his article for the day, happily holding his phone and returning from the study. He crawled into bed with a chill, looking at the comments. Occasionally, he couldn’t help but let out a low laugh from his throat.

However, seeing such enthusiastic reactions from everyone made him feel a little guilty.

In his and Zhou Hang’s CP, was it okay to write about himself and Jin Yang like this? Wasn’t it a little unethical? but it seems that in the eyes of the fans, Zhou Hang is the kind of person like Jin Yang.
