5. "Good Friends"

Thursday, 12 p.m. Kangju Park, Jiangbei District, Congzhou City.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Mi Xiaolu made a decision - the most important decision of his life.

Tomorrow, he decides to confess to a boy he has liked for more than fifteen years.

They are good friends who have played together since childhood;

They secretly went down to the river to bathe together in the summer, and went to the video game city together on the weekends to play games;

Their relationship is better than that of their own brothers;

The only problem is that both of them are men.

Mi Xiaolu felt that it was even more difficult to get him to accept his feelings than to ascend to the sky. He is a standard straight man (heterosexual boys), and it is impossible for him to understand and accept his abnormal love.

The person Mi Xiaolu likes is a boy with a handsome but cute face and a sturdy body, whose name is Hang Yi.

Their parents were good friends and made them young. Hang Yi is a few months older than Mi Xiaolu. When he was a child, Mi Xiaolu treated him like an older brother and liked to play with him. Because Mi Xiaolu has been white and clean since he was a child, his body is relatively thin, and his name is relatively neutral, he is often teased and bullied by some friends, calling him "Sister Mi", and sometimes he will think of some "flowers" to trick him. Every time Mi Xiaolu was bullied and cried, Hang Yi always 'stood up' and helped him fight, even if he was bleeding from the fight, he didn't care. Mi Xiaolu was 'excited' at first, but then unconsciously developed into an attachment. He felt that as long as he was with Hang Yi, he would have a sense of security.

When he was twelve or thirteen years old, Mi Xiaolu was horrified to find that he couldn't help but fall in love with Hang Yi. It's a deformed relationship, it's an abnormal love—he knows it, but he can't control himself.

Now, Mi Xiaolu is 21 years old, and he has clearly identified with his identity - he is a homosexual. But trouble also came - where should this relationship with Hang Yi go?

At first, he didn't think about confessing at all. He knew that Hang Yi just treated him as a brother, and he didn't know that he had this kind of love hidden in his heart, and it was impossible for him to accept this kind of thing. But the more time passed, the deeper his feelings and attachment to Hang Yi became, and finally he finally found that he was in love with him. This love turned out to be a burden to him—because it was painful for him to bury this love in his heart forever. Mi Xiaolu wanted to tell Hang Yi about his feelings several times, but he never dared to say it, he could guess the result, he was afraid of losing Hang Yi from now on.

But today, he finally made that decision. Because he is too tired to live, and he is also too tired by this feeling. No matter what, he will confess to Hang Yi tomorrow. He can only breathe a sigh of relief if he says it in person – to the person he loves the most. Otherwise, he will be suffocated sooner or later.

For the results, Mi Xiaolu predicted the following two possibilities:

The first is that Hang Yi was surprised and said that it was impossible for him to accept this deformed love, and then from then on, he would never dare to approach him again;

The second is that Hang Yi stated that although he was unacceptable, it was understandable. They can't be lovers, but they can continue to be good friends, good buddies. He didn't ostracize and avoid himself because of this, he still regarded himself as a brother.

If the ending is the second option, Mi Xiaolu will thank God. He had never thought of becoming a lover with Hang Yi, he knew it was impossible. He just wants Hang Yi to understand his mind, and then treat him as a buddy - that's enough.

However, if it was the first case—and Mi Xiaolu had already thought about it—if Hang Yi alienated me because of this, it would be nothing, and I would die. There's nothing left to be nostalgic about in this world. Without him in my world, there is no point.

Anyway, tomorrow, I want a result. I want to make a 'handover' for my life.

Mi Xiaolu put a fruit knife with a scabbard in his school bag. If the first scenario arises tomorrow, he doesn't plan to go home - he doesn't want to scare his parents. Although they will eventually see their son in the bathtub of a hotel with his blood drained, it is better than seeing it at home.

Thinking of this, Mi Xiaolu couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation. He thought sadly, if Heaven really wants to arrange for me to take this path, then I will go with it. I just want to be in the next life, so that I can become a 'girl' child and fall in love with Brother Hang justifiably......

It's Thursday for summer vacation. Tomorrow - He Jingyi, Sun Yuchen, Lu Jinpeng, Hang Yi, Mi Xiaolu - the fate of these five young people, as well as the other forty-five people in the cram school, will take an unexpected and major turn. Their lives will be completely changed in twelve hours. F
