Chu Manor.

 

Naturally, Chu Nan wasn’t just going to conclude that Yan Yan was Ruan Yan based off the hickies, even though he was already eighty-percent certain in his heart.

 

But what if it was a mistake?

 

To speak fairly, Yan Yan was so good, so obedient… Chu Nan didn’t want her to be Ruan Yan.

 

Chu Nan inserted the USB in his hand into the computer and began to play the recording.

 

It was the security tape from inside the science lab, and it showed both the inside and outside of the lab. Chu Nan’s mum was one of the school’s shareholders, so it couldn’t be considered difficult for him to obtain the recording.

 

Just that under normal circumstances, who would go look at the security cameras for no reason?

 

Chu Nan first looked at the recording outside the lab. In the long, long corridor, a person’s figure gradually drew near, their appearance handsome and elegant. In the midst of summer, they still wore a high collared shirt.

 

Who else could it be besides Ruan Yan?

 

He walked into the laboratory alone, and even after a long time, no other figure appeared in the corridor.

 

Chu Nan let out a cold laugh. If Ruan Yan really kissed Yan Yan, then why was he the only one who’d entered the lab from start to end?

 

A breath of air was stuck in Chu Nan’s throat, neither going up nor down.

 

He once again got up the recording from inside the laboratory, and attentively stared at the screen.

 

The Ruan Yan in the recording opened his misty peach blossom eyes, seemingly considering something for a moment before locking the door from the inside.

 

After doing all this, he said something beneath his breath, and from the shape of his lips, Chu Nan managed to distinguish that it was probably: “Not safe.”

 

Then, Chu Nan watched on coldly as Ruan Yan did his utmost to pull a table over and push it against the door, panting from tiredness.

 

Chu Nan drank a mouthful of cold water in anger. He was obviously so tired, but he still had to do this kind of thankless, laborious thing.

 

What happened after was even more energy consuming.

 

Ruan Yan himself, a-thousand-times-over, actively leaned himself against the wall. Flames directly whistled out of Chu Nan’s head as he watched on. Normally, it would still fine if he didn’t know that Yan Yan was Ruan Yan, but now, whenever he saw Ruan Yan, he would always think that his figure was too thin. Now that it was weakly leaning against the wall, Chu Nan was angered into losing his reason.

 

He could stand just fine, why did he have to lean against the wall so intimately?

 

Chu Nan didn’t have time to finish getting angry before he saw Ruan Yan once again saying something coldly. Right after, his peach blossom eyes slightly opened wide. It was still the same cool expression, but now it contained a sliver of humiliation as he shook his head in rejection.

 

A single person alone in the laboratory, how could his expression still be so rich?

 

Right after, Chu Nan saw Ruan Yan’s cheeks turn red as he alone closed his eyes, opening his mouth slightly… softly panting as he seemingly wasn’t able to take it anymore.

 

If it was just merely looking at the expression on Ruan Yan’s face, then you’d really think that he was experiencing something, but the main point was–– there was only him in the laboratory.

 

It really was a live coverage of a large-scaled bipolar performance. Where was the forced kiss that was agreed on?

 

Chu Nan was slightly irritated. The recording didn’t have any sound at all.

 

Afterwards was the scene of him entering after breaking the door. Ruan Yan was stunned for less than a second before reacting and immediately spouting lies.

 

After watching the recording, Chu Nan was even more certain that Ruan Yan was purposefully deceiving him.

 

From the moment he'd entered the lab and locked the door, it had already been proven that he’d long since schemed something.

 

Moreover, it shouldn’t be a kind of bipolar disorder either. If it was bipolar, then there would be at least a 2 second pause when the two personalities switched.

 

But Ruan Yan had been very clear headed throughout the entire time.

 

Chu Nan took out a cigarette from the drawer after sorting through this information. He hadn’t smoked in a long time, but now he really couldn’t resist wanting to smoke one.

 

Why did Ruan Yan have to lie to him?

 

After half the cigarette was finished, it reached the time that Chu Nan normally called Yan Yan. He took the phone out of his pocket countless times, but no matter what, he couldn’t bear to dial the number.

 

Chu Nan hated deception the most, and Ruan Yan not only deceived his feelings, but even lied to him about his gender. He’d even opposed him countless times, playing with him. On one hand, they were together, and on the other, he was busy chasing himself…

 

Why did he have to do this?

 

Chu Nan inhaled another breath of cigarette before suddenly thinking, could it be that Ruan Yan liked him?! But because he was male, he was scared that he wouldn’t fall for him, so he’d thus disguised as a girl and set up such schemes?

 

Chu Nan immediately made a call, “Ruan… Yan Yan.”

 

Ruan Yan picked up the call, “Chu Nan, I can explain what happened today. Ruan Yan and me, it’s not what you think…”

 

Chu Nan’s feelings were complex. Ruan Yan’s voice right now was extremely soft, just like a little cutie. But he wasn’t at all.

 

Chu Nan suppressed his sorrow and anger, “Yan Yan, let me ask you, what do you think about homosexuals? Especially gay homosexuals?”

 

Ruan Yan didn’t know why he was asking and still replied with, “I don’t like homosexuals at all, I think they’re very strange.”

Really? Then you’re really just here to deceive me?

 

Chu Nan spoke word by word, “Yan Yan, what if I say I don’t discriminate against them?”

 

Ruan Yan was currently putting ice on his shoulder, and after hearing this sentence, the ice pack in his hand suddenly slid from his hand into his clothes, just happening to fall onto an indescribable part.

 

He couldn’t help letting out a soft, crisp cry, his voice clear but hoarse, both soft and attractive.

 

Chu Nan gripped his phone, his gaze darkening. Ruan Yan really did love him. He’d let out such a humiliating sound just because he’d heard that he didn’t discriminate against homosexuals.

 

What should he do? Could he possibly just give in to Ruan Yan like this?

 

Ruan Yan quickly picked the ice pack out. He’d almost turned to stone. The male lead of a Mary Sue novel actually didn’t discriminate against homosexuals?!

 

There had to be a mistake with the genre of this novel!

 

Ruan Yan definitely couldn’t let Chu Nan go bent. If Chu Nan bent, then how was he going to accomplish his task?

 

Ruan Yan turned fierce in a second, “Chu Nan, you’re gay?”

 

Aren’t you? Chu Nan laughed in ridicule.

 

Ruan Yan gipped his phone extremely fiercely, “You’re gay and yet you still come to kiss me, deceiving my feelings from me. You’re so hateful! If… If you don’t explain yourself tomorrow, then I’ll ignore you forever! Ying!”

 

Even though he didn’t really want to pay attention to Chu Nan anyways after being hit, but for the sake of the task, he’d still have to feign politeness and compliance with Chu Nan.

 

Chu Nan’s heart gradually fell.

 

He could hear exactly how much Ruan Yan hated homosexuals from Ruan Yan’s words. Then, the reason why Ruan Yan lied to him wasn’t because he loved him.

 

Chu Nan didn’t say anything else and hung up the call.

 

Normally, he wouldn’t actively hang up on Yan Yan’s calls. Now that he hung up, he couldn’t help but want Ruan Yan to realise his abnormality and call him back.

 

Ruan Yan plotted incessantly to deceive him, so he must want to obtain something from him.

 

You always have to pay something to obtain something.

 

For example, acting spoilt, being sticky, and sweet talk. Normally, it was always him pampering her, but now that he knew that he wasn’t as innocent as he seemed, it should be the opposite way around.

 

Chu Nan had hung up for quite a while and Ruan Yan didn’t bother with it either, carefully administering ice on his shoulder.

 

He even went to the guest room to find the boxing tutor, wanting to ask how he could quickly learn to box.

 

He knocked the door open, and the coarse, muscular boxing tutor just happened to be carefully putting on a face mask. Holding up an orchid finger, he asked, “Young Master, what are you here for?”

 

Ruan Yan: …

 

He had a feeling that he’d walked onto the wrong scene and was silent for a moment.

 

Only now did the boxing tutor realise that Ruan Yan’s expression was slightly awkward, and lightly rubbed his own nose, “Sorry Young Master, I can’t really get used to it when I’m not boxing.”

Ruan Yan wrapped his snow white sleep gown around himself, “No worries, you don’t need to be so reserved when it’s not working hours.”

 

Although his words were like so, Ruan Yan still lost his interest and closed the door, going back.

 

Chu Nan was so frustrated that he didn’t even play his games. Lying on the bed, the phone didn’t sound once.

 

His heart felt more and more depressed.

 

Ruan Yan really didn’t have him in his heart, it had all been a false display of affection before… Everything was fake.

 

Chu Nan was also a prideful person. If this had been someone else deceiving him, then he definitely would’ve beaten that person up.

 

But Ruan Yan… Fine, just take it as that his judgement was bad. They would break up tomorrow, he didn’t want to play along with Ruan Yan anymore.

 

The morning of the next day.

 

Chu Nan only walked into the classroom when the bell rung for the end of morning self-study.

 

He hadn’t been late for a long while. Now that he was late today, Ju Ping and the others all looked over.

 

Ju Ping whispered, “Sister-in-law looked over at your seat a bunch of times this morning. From how I see it, sister-in-law was also a victim that day, so don't vent your anger on her, ok?”

 

Chu Nan didn’t answer him directly. Taking out a lighter from his pocket, he said, “Go, let’s smoke.”

 

“Brother Chu…” Ju Ping felt that something wasn’t right. Hadn’t Brother Chu stopped smoking for ages?

 

Ruan Yan walked over at this moment, his voice soft, “Chu Nan, where’s my breakfast?”

 

Chu Nan always said that he would bring him breakfast, so he didn’t eat at home anymore. Today, Chu Nan came late so he had been starving for a long time already.

 

Chu Nan went through the motions perfunctorily, “Let’s talk after I finish smoking.”

 

“Oh.” In the end, Ruan Yan wasn’t as sensitive as actual girls were and obediently went to sit back on his seat after hearing that.

 

Chu Nan and Ju Ping went out. Ju Ping hesitatingly asked, “Brother Chu, you…”

 

Chu Nan spat out a circle of smoke, “Don’t call her sister-in-law from now on.”

 

“Ok.” Ju Ping nodded decisively. It was just that he thought it was a bit of a shame, after all, Brother Chu cherished Ran Yan so much in the beginning ah.

 

Just like this, they calmly passed through a morning of classes.

 

When time came for lunch, Chu Nan told Ju Ping and the others to also order food for him and wait.

 

Ruan Yan still didn’t know anything and turned around asking, “Chu Nan, what’s for lunch today?”

 

He acted spoilt as always, “You ignored me for an entire morning today. You obviously know that I’m angry, so why don’t you come to coax me?”

 

Chu Nan replied, “Got tired of coaxing you.”

Ruan Yan: …

 

If he were Chu Nan, then he definitely would’ve gotten tired a long time ago.

 

Ruan Yan took back his hand. He was a big man anyways, and he didn’t like sticking to other men.

 

Ruan Yan was extremely calm. Now, he only focused on completing his task, lightly crying, “Ying-ying-ying, fine… You won’t coax me, so I’ll go eat lunch by myself. What do you want to eat? I’ll bring it for you ah.”

 

Chu Nan really wanted to ask him, was it fun pretending?

 

Ruan Yan took his wallet and prepared to go to the cafeteria. Outside, the proud sun was like a sea of fire, burning extremely fiercely.

 

Chu Nan placidly opened his mouth in the split second that Ruan Yan walked out, “I’m eating with Ju Ping and the others. You can eat the lunch I brought.”

 

“You don’t need to wash the bowl and chopsticks. We can talk after I come back.” Chu Nan resolutely walked out of the classroom.

 

Ruan Yan was left standing in place. There was something up with Chu Nan ah…

 

But it was correct thinking about it. In the original novel, after finding out that Ran Yan was tainted, Chu Nan had basically already given up on Ran Yan.

 

Now, it was very normal that Chu Nan was acting slightly reserved towards him.

 

Ruan Yan had a very open mind. He played with the container in his hands for a bit and didn’t touch the food in it, taking his wallet and going out to buy food.

 

After he ate, he went back to the classroom and went to sort some things in the balcony.

 

Ruan Yan was crouching in the balcony so the people inside couldn’t see him at all.

 

Ju Ping asked Chu Nan, “Brother Chu, are you… really planning to break up with Ran Yan?”

 

There were streaks of blood in Chu Nan’s eyes, “En, breaking up.”

 

Ju Ping thought that this was really too much of a shame, “Is it because of what happened that day?”

 

“No.” Chu Nan’s heart was bitter, but he still confidently replied, “There’s no feelings anymore, it’s better for the both of us to break up earlier.”

 

“Pa-da”, a crash sounded from the balcony.

 

Ju Ping looked outside, and his eyes widened, “Sister… Ran Yan.”

 

Chu Nan’s body shook, and his entire person wasn’t decadent anymore. He immediately stood up from the seat.

 

“Yan Yan…” He murmured.

 

Ruan Yan calmly stood on the balcony, his hands holding onto some small things. They were all the things Chu Nan had given him.

 

Chu Nan had such a big family enterprise, yet all the things he gave him were these ordinary little play things.

 

Ruan Yan felt that as a man, he didn’t have any interests towards those things, but he still carefully cherished them.

 

On the burning hot summer day, Ruan Yan actually felt a bit cold.

 

He said, “Ok… There’s no way to control our feelings anyways, let's break up. These things you gave me, I’m giving them all back to you.”

 

After he finished speaking, a clear teardrop fell from his peach blossom eyes.

 

Chu Nan’s eyes almost cracked. He didn’t even think before saying, “Yan Yan, that’s not what I meant…”

 

Ju Ping couldn’t help glancing at him. Brother Chu, if it’s not that meaning then what other meaning is there?

 

Congratulations, you’ve reached the crematorium.

 

Ju Ping secretly sneaked away.

 

Ruan Yan expressionlessly wiped his tears off, “You don’t need to explain. I’ll calculate how much the lunch you’ve brought me these days cost and give the money to you.”

 

When he cried, his voice didn’t need to be changed at all, both clear and soft.

 

Ruan Yan coldly stuffed the things in his hands to Chu Nan, “Good bye.”

 

Ruan Yan didn’t even want to touch those things right now. The blue eared rabbit at the top of the pile was what Chu Nan had caught (1) for him using 10 Yuan.

 

There was already a bit of panic in Chu Nan’s voice, “Yan Yan, you’re even giving this rabbit back to me?”

 

This was the first present he’d given Yan Yan.

 

Although Chu Nan had a big family enterprise, but his living expenses before the university exam weren’t much at all. It was predetermined that his presents definitely wouldn’t be too luxurious right now, but he was still extremely enthusiastic about sending presents.

 

If he had 10 Yuan then he would give 10 Yuan, if he had a hundred thousand then he would send a hundred thousand. From a cobblestone to a ruby, he would send them all.

 

Ruan Yan looked at him with red eyes, “I’ve been together with you since I was 18, yet the gifts you’ve given me are at most worth a couple ten Yuan. Chu Nan, tell me, what use do I have in keeping them?”
