Chapter 123 A successful ending
As the bickering continued, both sides couldn't help but laugh. The others, munching on sunflower seeds brought by who knows who, watched with gusto. Foei, who wanted to see some other couples, watched the scene as a new BL novel began to take shape. It would be called "Me and My Resentful Friend." The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait to get home, turn on his computer, and start typing out the endless stream of images.
The people around him suddenly seemed high, like they were on drugs, causing the assistant to shift a little of his attention to him. Seeing the glint in his eyes, the assistant put down his drink and asked, "Have you come up with a new idea?"
He got a nod from the other party and became a little excited: "Then when you finish writing it, I want to be the first audience."
"Don't worry, you will definitely be my first audience."
Sky's mouth was dry from cracking melon seeds, so he put the remaining seeds into Xiao Yi's hand. He patted the remaining shells in his hand and said to Kuea, "Is this how they get along?"
"No, I have the impression that they rarely joke around." Kuea didn't know why Sky asked this question, but he still recalled how they were when they were together.
"Is that so? Maybe it's because people in love change their personalities." After saying this, Sky glanced at Xiao Yi, who was diligently shelling melon seeds beside him. His change was obvious, and he liked him now. He felt like Xiao Yi belonged to Sky now. It was different from the old days, when he felt like he could pull away at any moment.
Sky subconsciously grabbed his hand, and Xiao Yi, whose hand was being held while peeling melon seeds, looked up at Sky in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"No. Are these melon seeds peeled for me?"
"Well, it feels good to eat so many melon seeds at once." He put a small pile of melon seeds in Sky's hand and said, "Try it."
Sky took a pile of melon seeds and poured them into his mouth and chewed them.
"How about it?"
"Mm, it's delicious, better than a single one."
"Then I'll continue peeling them for you." As he said that, he wanted to reach out and grab the bag of melon seeds.
Sky quickly stopped him: "Even if it tastes good, you can't eat too much. It will easily cause you to get angry."
After being stopped, Xiao Yi gave up peeling melon seeds and took a sip of milk beside him: "It's getting late, why don't we stop here today?"
Everyone subconsciously picked up their phones to check the time, and had to reluctantly end today's party.
Eight people, three couples, walked out of the bar hand in hand. The other two also walked together, but there was still some distance between them. Rain rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't Kuea say before that he wanted to help dearw find a partner? Yi, are there any good guys or girls around you?"
"Why, do you still want to be a matchmaker for them?"
Rain scratched his head and said innocently, "Isn't this because I want them to not have to keep stuffing their bellies with dog food when we get together next time?"
"You're quite kind, then."
"Hey, that's not right. We're good friends now, so of course we can't just watch our good friend be single." After saying that, he looked at Kon Dearw and said, "How about it? Do you want Yi to introduce you to some young talents or pretty ladies? I remember that their company is full of handsome men and beautiful women. Sometimes I even wonder if they prioritize appearance over ability when recruiting employees."
Speaking of which, Rain was envious of Xiao Yi's work environment. Working in a place full of handsome men and beautiful women, any bad mood would instantly disappear when he saw a handsome man or beautiful woman.
"I've told you many times, Rain. The people you saw last time were all secretaries in the company. Also, our company values ability first, and appearance second."
"Ah, yes, yes, I just expressed my feelings a little bit, and didn't say anything. Besides, Sky doesn't mind the handsome men and beautiful women around you, so I naturally won't say anything."
When dearw heard Rian's words, he subconsciously glanced at the person next to him. But seeing that he looked calm, without any jealousy or displeasure, he knew that he really had no interest in him. He felt uncomfortable thinking this way. But he still forced a smile and said to Rian, "I don't want to end my single life for the time being. When I find someone I want, you can introduce me to someone."
Rain, who was still arguing with Yi, changed the subject after hearing what he said: "Okay, just tell me when the time comes, and I'll arrange it for you right away." Rain patted his chest and promised.
Sky covered his mouth and chuckled. As his good friend, how could he not find fault? So he suppressed the urge to curl his lips and pretended to cough a few times: "Rain, Yi didn't promise you that. If dearw asks you for help to introduce people, and you don't have many people to introduce, wouldn't that be a missed appointment?"
"Ah!! Yes, the only rich and good-looking people I've ever met are the ones in your company, Yi. Otherwise..." Rain looked at Xiao Yi ingratiatingly: "Hey, Yi, just give him a hand. You can't just watch your good friend miss an appointment."
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow. He had noticed Dearw's little gesture. He didn't know what Yi thought of him, at least not yet. But he was still willing to help Dearw.
"I know several wealthy young men with decent personalities. If you need anything, I can help connect them."
Seeing that he was serious about what he said, dearw replied, "Thank you. I'll let you know if you need me."
Xiao Yi took Sky's hand and walked to his car: "I'm here, where's your car?"
"Not far away."
"Okay, let's go first."
The cheerful atmosphere gradually dissipated as the crowd dispersed. Each of the four cars headed in a different direction, and the atmosphere within each car was distinct. Xiao Yi and his companions chatted cheerfully about the evening's events, while Rain and his companions were quiet, one active and the other quiet. The quiet one was naturally Phayu, the active one was Rain. Phayu drove while Rain recounted his amusing stories, even dancing with joy as he got excited.
Lian and Kuea sat in the back seat, enjoying the atmosphere, while Foei would occasionally steal glances at them. Yi and dearw's car was the quietest, remaining silent from the moment they got in to the start.
Yi drove and thought back to the news his friend had told him. He found it hard to imagine that the man before him was actually a Taekwondo black belt. He hadn't believed it when he first heard the news, but after visiting the place where he taught, he realized that the boy before him wasn't the weak and needy young man he had imagined. He had learned the means to protect himself in places he hadn't known.
He had the urge to tell him what he was thinking, but what had happened in the past held him back. The gap between them was even wider than that between Lian and Kuea, so he was afraid. He was afraid that if he told him the truth, the man in front of him would hate him, and even more afraid that he would leave.
So after returning to their residence, they just said goodnight to each other and said nothing else. Yi looked at dearw's back. He wanted to tell everything, but his steps and the words on his lips told him that he was not ready yet.
Lying in bed and thinking about what those people said tonight, he felt bitter in his heart.
He obviously lived here just to protect him, so why did his thoughts about him become like this?
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep. He got up and sat on the sofa by the window. He looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.
"It seems like tonight is destined to be a sleepless night."
As for the other few people, they were intimate for a while after returning home, and then fell asleep quickly.
