Yes, I’m Straight. But What Have I Done Wrong?

[287]

Coquettish Guy originally thought if he coaxed Domineering Guy as usual by saying some soft words, Domineering Guy who was unhappy would be cheerfully right away. However, his plan didn’t work like a charm this time. He could still see Domineering Guys’ eyes full of hurtful feelings. Besides, Domineering Guy didn’t ask him to go home together again. Thus, he couldn’t let Domineering Guy leave in this way. “Zhou Ming, don’t do this. I’m not throwing a fit at you, neither will I break up with you.”

Domineering Guy asked while staring at him, “But, you don’t want to marry me.”

Coquettish Guy squatted down beside him, held his face, kissed his lips’ corner before pressing his forehead with his forehead. Coquettish Guy almost sobbed but told himself to calm down first before trying to persuading Zhou Ming, and said in a light voice, “I want to, but I know we can’t make it.”

“No, how do you know we can’t make it before having a try?” Domineering Guy discontinued the intimate behaviors between them for the first time and took several steps back to look into Coquettish Guy’s eyes. “Haven’t we made a promise that we are heading for the happy ending all along? Who do you want to marry if you don’t marry me? Are you lying to me?”

“Zhou Ming, calm down.” Coquettish Guy couldn’t say those cruel words while looking into Domineering Guy’s eyes, so he held the latter into his arms with force and said in a shivering voice, “I won’t marry anyone else. I don’t like anyone else but you…”

“What do you want me to do?”

“If you like…” Having taken a deep breath, Coquettish Guy continued with difficulty, “You can have your own life.” As soon as he was done speaking, a teardrop dropped onto his shoulder.

When Coquettish Guy got home, The Coquettish’s father stopped him who was directly walking toward his room. “Did you make yourself clear to him?”

He stood still and slowly turned around. “I won’t marry him, neither will us turn it into a bigger mess. No matter how you and Uncle Zhou’s careers go, you two won’t be affected by this.”

“Haven’t I made myself clear that I wanted you to completely break up with him? If you didn’t express yourself clearly, how can you successfully break up with him? He has been pampered by his family since he was a baby, so he has strong self-esteem. If you tell him you have no interest in him, he’ll definitely leave you alone.”

He was as obedient as a lamb just now but now lifted his eyes to look at his father ironically. “But I take great interest in him.”

The Coquettish’s father felt unhappy. “What’s the point of you liking each other? I know your plan. Do you really think that our two families can do nothing with you two after you get independence?”

He kept silence, and his father continued, “His father has reached that position, so his father absolutely wants to get to a higher position. Thus, his father will definitely not allow such a scandal to be exposed. If you don’t break up with him on your own initiative, do you want to be the victim?”

He pursed his lips and then said in an indifferent tone with his eyes fixed on his father, “You forget to say that Uncle Zhou’s rival will replace him. You don’t want the latter to know I have a relationship with the Zhou family, do you?”

The Coquettish’s father said with a sneer, “You have your own thoughts now. I don’t care about others, but you have to sever your relationship with him. Just do as I told you and don’t leave any potential troubles unattended.”

“I won’t do that,” said he. “I can’t make a decision about whether we can be together, but I won’t accept the decision you made for me. But, I can decide if we want to be together or I like him or not. I promise not to make a bigger mess by not marrying him, but I can’t lie to him about this, neither will I cheat myself.”

The four used to get back to university in a car. Glass Guy had asked before returning university in the Wechat Group if they went back together with him. The first responder was Domineering Guy who said he would go back alone.

Coquettish Guy felt something wrong with Domineering Guy and thereby asked him out in private.

“We’ve said we’ll go back together. What’s going on with you?”

Domineering Guy felt sour upon seeing his Little Chen. He loved Little Chen so much, but Little Chen didn’t want to marry him. Although he could accept that Little Chen didn’t marry him, he couldn’t tolerate that Little Chen always came to stroke his fragile heart. He was very sad that he could only see Little Chen but not marry Little Chen.

Coquettish Guy felt bad upon seeing the sad Domineering Guy, stroking his side face and rubbing his earlobe, “Zhou Ming, don’t do this.”

Domineering Guy slightly turned his face and said in an undertone without looking at Coquettish Guy, “I just want to do have this intimate moment with my future marriage partner.”

Coquettish Guy felt stunned.

[290]

In the end, the four went back to university in a car. Straight Guy was hesitant first and said he wanted to take public transportation to go back, but his mother didn’t allow him to do that. “Yangyang, if you go back with the upperclassman, you two can look after each other. It’s crowded out there, so it’s dangerous if you go back alone in the summit period of returning. I don’t care about that little money, but I worry about you.”

Straight Guy couldn’t directly tell his mother it would be more dangerous if he went back with the upperclassman, so he obediently got on the upperclassman’s car with his luggage.

Domineering Guy felt uncomfortable and couldn’t accept the fact that Little Chen just wanted to keep a secret relationship with him instead of officially marrying him. Failed to coax him back, Coquettish Guy didn’t know how to persuade him again, so he wanted to wait for Domineering Guy to calm down and then tried to reason with him.

Coquettish Guy sat back with a sigh. Suddenly, there was something wrong with his eyes, so he rubbed them with his hands. Domineering Guy, who had quietly kept eyes on him, was scared silly, walked over him and said, “What’s up, Little Chen? Don’t cry. It’s all my fault.”

Coquettish Guy: Eh?

[291]

The night before Domineering Guy left for university, his mother helped him pack his baggage and saw him was mind-absent. Since he grew older, she tentatively asked him if he had some emotional problems. He sure had, but he couldn’t tell her for the time being. In order to purposefully cajole him to say more, she asked again, “How is Zhou Yang in your dormitory? How is he doing with his boyfriend?”

Domineering Guy said, “They’re not okay, for their families don’t agree them to be together. Zhou Yang didn’t talk his family into accepting this, so he told the upperclassman they wouldn’t have a future. However, he doesn’t want to give up the upperclassman, neither would he fall for someone else. That’s it.”

Domineering’s mother said with a sigh, “Why do these two little boys choose such a difficult road?”

He said, “It’s not up to them, either. They just like each other.”

Domineering’s mother said, “You’re right! Their parents should think twice while seeing their painful children. No matter how they lead a life, it’s just a lifetime, so why do they have to make their kids suffer?”

He said with his eyes brightened, “Mother, do you really think so?”

Domineering’s mother said with a smile, “The bystanders can see through everything.” She looked at her son lovingly. “When will my Little Ming take his girlfriend home?”

He immediately shook his head and nervously stuttered, “Mother, don’t jest at me. Now, I’m dedicated to the start-up!” On the surface, Domineering’s mother said she wouldn’t rush him but looked at him with her eyes full of exploration.

[292]

In order not to bother Glass Guy to pick them up one by one, the four made an appointment to get on the car at the same place. Coquettish Guy arrived there first and thereby sat down on the back row. After placing the baggage in the trunk, Domineering Guy hesitated in front of the car door, for he didn’t know how to face Little Chen.

The little Straight Guy felt hesitant, too. Since the problem between him and the upperclassman hadn’t been resolved, how embarrassing it would be if he sat on the front row! Did he still feed the upperclassman water? Did he still touch the upperclassman’s thigh? Did he still kiss the upperclassman? All these were very difficult puzzles, making him feel pain. Thus, when a bold idea popped up in his mind, he stuck out his head and looked at the empty seat beside Coquettish Guy…

The two men inside the car incisively felt something wrong. As soon as Domineering Guy pulled the front door open, Glass Guy said, “Zhou Ming, Zhouyang tends to get carsick easily, so let him sit on the front row.”

“Oh,” replied Domineering Guy and readily pulled the back door open and got on the car. Sitting beside Little Chen made his heart beat quickly, but he wasn’t that brave to turn around to see Little Chen. Seeing this, the little Straight Guy could do nothing but sit on the front row. Helpless and nervous, he sat on the front row like he was cast the spell and tried his best to cause any attention. Glass Guy turned his head, took a deep look at him, and then approached him, making him tightly cover his mouth and vigilantly look at Glass Guy. Glass Guy said with a hint of light flashing past his eyes, “The door isn’t closed.”

“Oh…” Straight Guy shut the door with annoy. “It’s closed now…Ah.” As he turned around to seek the upperclassman’s confirmation, he only found that the latter still held the posture of approaching him. Thus, he had his lips brush past the upperclassman’s side face as if he threw himself into the upperclassman’s arms on his own initiative.
