fall in love by chance

Zhou Yan immediately opened the office door, saw Liang Ruixi standing outside, and said in a daze, "Why are you?"

"Why can't it be me?" Liang Ruixi put down the hand that was about to knock on the door, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that the astonishment on Zhou Yan's face when he saw him was greater than the surprise.

"Hey, Xiao Liang." Ruan Yadong greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Yadong," Liang Ruixi also smiled, "I just heard you guys talking, didn't I bother you?"

"To disturb is not to disturb," Ruan Yadong teased him pretending to be mysterious, "But, have you heard the secret between me and Ah Yan?"

"What secrets do you two have that I don't know?" Liang Ruixi raised an eyebrow.

"We," Ruan Yadong glanced at Zhou Yan, jokingly said, "We have a lot of secrets in private."

Compared with Ruan Yadong's relaxed state, Zhou Yan pursed his lips and stood beside him without saying a word, looking particularly nervous.

"Oh?" Liang Ruixi saw the performance of the two of them, and also saw Ruan Yadong deliberately whetting his appetite, and was also aroused to gossip, "Then, does Xiao Zhang know your secret? If Xiao Zhang knows, I won't pursue it gone."

"What if he doesn't know?" Ruan Yadong asked with a smile.

Liang Ruixi put down the bag, rubbed his fists and said, "If Xiaozhang doesn't know, don't blame me for calling him over, and we will torture you together."

Ruan Yadong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud.

Zhou Yan also twitched the corner of his mouth, his tense expression relaxed, but he was still a little worried, and asked, "What did you hear just now?"

"I heard you say that brother Yadong was hurt," Liang Ruixi didn't hear clearly through the door, "it seems to be related to your family members, did you encounter any problems?"

"You really heard me..." Ruan Yadong sighed, reluctantly, "Forget it, let me tell you."

Zhou Yan immediately turned his head to look over, Ruan Yadong gestured to him to be calm, and said to Liang Ruixi: "Actually, Ah Yan hasn't told his family members about his sexual orientation for so many years. I guess his mother has been vaguely concerned recently. I guessed it. You also know that Ah Yan and I used to be high school alumni, and we lived in the same place. Our place is not big or small, but Ah Yan’s mother has a lot of connections in the local area. After asking around, I know I am gay. Originally, Ah Yan was just starting a business with me, but now his mother may have misunderstood that we are in a relationship. No, she called me a few days ago to inquire about me and give me money. pressure..."

Liang Ruixi was dumbfounded.

Ruan Yadong looked at Liang Ruixi and said, "But I assure you with my personality, Ah Yan and I are just pure friends, and there is absolutely nothing ambiguous about it."

"Well, I know..." Liang Ruixi felt inexplicably heavy in his heart, not because of the potential pressure of coming out, but because Zhou Yan had endured so much for this relationship alone.In order to protect himself and lighten his burden, Ruan Yadong was even involved in covering up their relationship.

"Don't blame Ah Yan for hiding it from you. He was finally able to be with you. He is afraid that you will regret it if you are under a lot of pressure. That's why I don't want you to be involved at this stage, but you don't have to worry about me. Ruan Yadong said calmly, "I have been out of the closet with my family since I was a child, and my parents have already acquiesced to this fact. Even if Ah Yan's mother asks my parents to put pressure on me, there is nothing I can do."

"Okay, Yadong," Zhou Yan gave Ruan Yadong a grateful look, "I'll talk to Ruixi alone."

Zhou Yan took Liang Ruixi back to his office, but first changed the subject and asked, "Why didn't you send me a message before you came?"

"Are you afraid that I will hear about this?" Liang Ruixi asked.

"No," Zhou Yan explained, "I went out in the afternoon, and it wasn't long before I returned to the law firm. I originally planned to go back after a few words with Ruan Yadong. If you came earlier or later, you might rush empty."

So it just happened to let him hear these words...

"Next time something like this happens, you can tell me directly." Liang Ruixi thought again of what she said to Zhou Yan last night, and thought of Zhou Yan who was under such great pressure, but still comforted herself quietly, the guilt in her heart Forget about energy.

Although he is not yet mentally prepared for an open relationship, he doesn't want to always hide behind Zhou Yan like a coward, and have irrelevant people to bear the pressure.

"How do I tell you? You're about to take an exam, so tell you to face my mother?" Zhou Yan frowned to comfort him, "Yadong and I have been friends for many years, so it would be nice for him to do such a small favor." It’s easy to say, no matter how big it is, we can wait until you finish the exam.”

Liang Ruixi understood Zhou Yan's intentions, sighed lightly, and said in a calm tone: "I saw that you were so nervous just now, I thought you were worried that I would misunderstand your relationship with Brother Yadong."

Zhou Yan smiled, and his eyebrows stretched: "You haven't answered why I came here suddenly, and why did you buy so many fruits?"

"No, I'm just..." Liang Ruixi didn't know what to say, "I kind of miss you."

When Liang Ruixi blurted out those four words, he was still a little confused, Zhou Yan was taken aback for a moment, then walked over quickly, took his hand and embraced him.

"I think about it too, I think about it all the time," Zhou Yan whispered in his ear, "Don't worry about my house, I've loved you for so many years, it's impossible to break it back in this life, and it's impossible to say goodbye They compromise."

"Then do you want to keep it a secret from your parents?" Liang Ruixi leaned into Zhou Yan's arms and asked.

"Actually, they never asked. My father...may not care much about who I like. Once my mother asks, I will not lie to her. I will tell her frankly." Zhou Yan said.

"Hey," Liang Ruixi laughed at himself, "If you want to hide it like this, I feel a little more balanced."

Zhou Yan chuckled, and said, "There is no rush for this kind of thing, and we don't need to announce anything to the outside world to prove anything." He hugged him tightly, as if he came back from the outside exhausted that night at the end of June, and used the same method. He held him tightly in his arms, as if he was his spiritual support, his life-saving straw.

Liang Ruixi's originally uneasy mood was also soothed in this hug. He put his arms around this seemingly strong but inexplicably fragile man, and comforted him in a firm tone: "Don't be afraid, Zhou Yan... I don't regret being with you." You are together."

Zhou Yan trembled slightly, closed his eyes and pressed his lips to his ears, as if responding to his oath.

The two hugged each other for a moment, and they separated after drawing enough strength from each other.

Liang Ruixi asked again: "Does your family have a good background?"

Just when Ruan Yadong mentioned it, he realized from his confused state of love: Zhou Yan is different from himself, Zhou Yan has a complete family.

In the past, he and Zhou Yan were just friends, so it was not easy to inquire, but now they are lovers, and sooner or later they have to face those pressures together.What's more, with the lessons learned from the ex-girlfriend incident, Liang Ruixi didn't expect to be so caught off guard by Zhou Yan's family.

"There is one thing," Zhou Yan said indifferently, "but those backgrounds have nothing to do with me."

"Why do you say that?" Liang Ruixi recalled Zhou Yan's discoloration every time he talked about the family during college, and couldn't help but said, "You are not still in the rebellious period, are you?"

Zhou Yan was amused by his description: "How old are you, and you're still rebellious? Do you think I'm so naive?"

"You're not naive, but you're stubborn sometimes." Liang Ruixi commented.

Zhou Yan choked, and said with a wry smile, "I just have a different idea from them."

Liang Ruixi picked out a grape from the bag, wiped the skin with the back of his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, dug another grape, and asked Zhou Yan if he wanted it.

Zhou Yan shook his head and took his bag directly: "Go back first, wash it before eating."

It was past seven o'clock, Zhou Yan packed up his things, and left the office with Liang Ruixi, and happened to run into Ruan Yadong again.

"Finished talking?" Ruan Yadong was stunned, "Are you leaving now?"

Zhou Yan glanced at his watch: "It's almost an hour after get off work, why don't you leave?"

"No..." Ruan Yadong glanced at the fruit bag in Zhou Yan's hand, moved her lips, and said speechlessly, "Forget it."
