The meaning of this sentence was too obvious, as if he could have a boyfriend just by going downstairs.

But Qin Fang didn't quite dare to think that way yet, as after all it was too far, and coming back wasn't something to be taken lightly.

"I'm going downstairs for a bit," Qin Fang cleared his throat and said to Liu Yuan, "If I don't come back... I won't be able to have dinner with you guys tonight, you'll have to take care of it yourselves, my treat."

Liu Yuan blinked, not at all like a girl, and said, "Damn."

"What do you mean? Don't tell me you have plans too!"

Qin Fang looked at his phone again, still not quite daring to be sure what the situation was downstairs, so he only said, "For now... I don't know yet."

Actually, he could just look out the corridor window to see what was going on, but Qin Fang just didn't want to look, holding back this urge and going straight downstairs. He packed up his things and said as he walked, "Have fun, don't save money for me."

"Fang-ge, you!" Liu Yuan pointed at him, "You're so not cool!"

Qin Fang waved at her before closing the door and said, "Maybe I'll be back up in a bit."

Qin Fang's mind was actually blank as he went downstairs, it was a bit sudden, suddenly raising his expectations high, but also feeling it was impossible, so he didn't dare to let his expectations fly.

He deliberately emptied his mind all the way, until he came out of the building and looked towards the light, his heart suddenly fell to the ground. Then it immediately flew high again.

-- There was someone sitting in the small square downstairs.

He was sitting on his huge suitcase, his two long legs supporting the ground. He was sitting a bit casually, his face facing the office building, so his back wasn't very straight, with a small arc, looking very handsome and also making him look slim. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt inside, with a thin jacket outside, set off by his skin tone, looking even cleaner.

There really was a... boyfriend downstairs.

Qin Fang smiled at him, so the boyfriend waved his arm at him.

"Damn..." Qin Fang walked over, smiling, bending down slightly to hug him, rubbing his back hard, "What are you playing at..."

"Playing at being romantic?" Xing Yan smiled and asked him, "Is it romantic?"

"What romance! You're childish." Qin Fang was torn between laughter and tears, but his eyes were clearly bright all the time.

After all, it was a public place, so after hugging Xing Yan, Qin Fang let go, the two of them standing and sitting. Qin Fang lowered his head and said to Xing Yan, "Why are you back?"

Xing Yan said, "I came back early, I have to go back again later, but it will be quick."

Qin Fang's emotions were very full, but for a moment he had nothing to say, just kept looking at Xing Yan.

"Can you come with me?" Xing Yan suddenly leaned forward, getting close to Qin Fang, looking up at him with a very serious expression, "Come with this brother, this brother will be your boyfriend."

He said the frivolous words in a serious manner, Qin Fang couldn't hold back anymore, laughing and flicking his forehead, "You changed your persona again?"

Xing Yan nodded and said, "I don't have a persona now, I'll be whatever you need me to be."

Qin Fang was still smiling, the smile hadn't left his face since he came downstairs. Xing Yan's "this brother will be your boyfriend" just now was too seductive, with a hint of gentle coaxing in his tone, making people's hearts melt.

Qin Fang pulled out the handle on the suitcase and pulled it to walk. Xing Yan stood up and followed him, Qin Fang said, "Let's go, let's go home."

The scene of them talking just now and walking together afterwards was too pleasing to the eye, and people had already been watching for a long time. Qin Fang wasn't afraid of people watching back then, he wasn't even scared when people took videos and posted them online, let alone now.

He took Xing Yan straight back home.

Hua Tong had gone out with his girlfriend and wouldn't be back until evening.

"This little brother who has entered my home is now mine." Qin Fang put the suitcase at the door and got a pair of slippers for Xing Yan, saying to him.

Xing Yan nodded, "That's great then."

"Just from the moment I saw you downstairs," Qin Fang said as he took off his jacket and looked back at Xing Yan, hooking the corner of his lips, "My mind is now filled with the urge to do something with you."

This sentence came a bit directly, stunning people.

"Can you adapt to this pace?" Qin Fang raised his eyebrows, "If you say you can... I'll strip."

His style changed too quickly before and after entering the door, Xing Yan was still in the state of smiling and teasing just now, he didn't expect Qin Fang to directly be in this kind of state right in front of his eyes, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to this.

Qin Fang was no longer the him of those years, back then he was a pure and innocent straight man, Xing Yan hooked him and he would blush and his heart would race, he couldn't handle anything. Now he was a gay who had been bent for a long time.

Qin Fang had already stripped naked on top, wearing only pants, "Come on, didn't you say you were going to be my boyfriend?"

"..." Xing Yan hadn't even taken off his jacket, and the teasing words he had prepared didn't need to be said anymore, how could he tease someone so hardcore, he was a bit flustered.

Qin Fang looked at Xing Yan with raised eyebrows and sat on the edge of the bed, waving his hand at him, "Come."

Xing Yan walked over, and as soon as he got a little closer, Qin Fang pulled him over. Xing Yan's heart even stopped for a moment, but in the end Qin Fang just hugged him and kissed his stomach through his T-shirt.

"Just teasing you." Qin Fang looked up with a smile, "Stunned, right? You don't want to do something with me that much?"

Xing Yan looked down at him and laughed, "It just disrupted my rhythm, I didn't know how to follow up."

Qin Fang let go of him and changed into a short-sleeved shirt he wore at home, saying, "I'm just changing clothes."

Because of Qin Fang's teasing and then kissing, they directly skipped the process of going from unfamiliarity to familiarity after entering the door. If it weren't for this, they would probably be awkwardly trying to eliminate the sense of unfamiliarity brought by time right now.

This was a space completely unfamiliar to Xing Yan, but it was the place where Qin Fang lived every day. There was a blank space between them, and this blank space would remind them to disperse their emotions no matter how excited or exhilarated they were in their hearts.

But now it was gone, Qin Fang deliberately made a dirty little joke, only two people who were very close could play like this, whether there was a blank space or distance, it didn't matter.

Qin Fang even changed his pants in front of Xing Yan, taking off his jeans and putting on a pair of shorts.

Xing Yan turned his gaze away and didn't look at him, Qin Fang said as he put on his pants, "You're so well-behaved."

"What else then?" Xing Yan looked at the oil painting on the wall, "I'll change my pants too and let you try?"

"Try it," Qin Fang said, "You try and see if I can let you put them on after seeing your legs."

"I don't want you to put your pants on either when I see your legs," Xing Yan said as he turned back after Qin Fang finished dressing, licking his lips. "But I still have something to say, I need to finish saying it first."

Xing Yan had a stubborn seriousness when he said this, which was quite adorable.

Qin Fang smiled slightly. "Go ahead."

Although Xing Yan seemed to talk a bit more these past few days compared to before, his fundamental personality couldn't change. He simply wasn't someone who was particularly talkative. Flirting casually was fine, but when it came to seriously saying something, he would only speak straightforwardly.

So he basically cut straight to the point, and the first thing he said to Qin Fang was: "I want to be with you."

Qin Fang's movements paused for a moment, then he stood up and got a bottle of water from the fridge for Xing Yan.

Xing Yan took it and drank a mouthful, then stopped for a while before continuing, "I want us to be together."

Qin Fang looked at him and asked, "How do you want us to be together?"

Xing Yan pursed his lips and said, "To be in a relationship with you."

"Aren't we already in one?" Qin Fang also took a sip from Xing Yan's water, moistening his lips. "If you're already someone's boyfriend, isn't that being in a relationship?"

"I mean... I don't want us to separate in the future either." Xing Yan was still a bit uncomfortable talking about these things. He lowered his head and raised his hand to rub the top of his head.

"I used to think about things immaturely. Looking back now, I took a huge detour. For a long time in between, I didn't know if you were still there or not. I didn't really dare to think deeply about it, afraid that you had left, because I had nothing worth waiting for."

Qin Fang didn't speak, just quietly listened to Xing Yan talk.

Xing Yan spoke quite slowly, pausing after each sentence, as if each one was taken out from his heart.

"You said before that I couldn't love. Even now, I don't dare say I can. I haven't received too much affection, facing it makes me a bit flustered, not knowing how to treat it, so I nearly lost it once."

"From the moment I knew you were still here, every day I just wanted to come back early. If I didn't return for a day, I wouldn't feel at ease for a day." Xing Yan glanced at Qin Fang, who smiled at him.

Xing Yan said, "I know how to fix the problem from last time now. The advantage of being a top student is that I won't make the same mistake twice on a question I got wrong before. Do you believe this?"

Qin Fang smiled and said, "I believe it."

"So let's stay together..." Xing Yan rubbed his knuckles with his thumb and asked Qin Fang, "Okay?"

Qin Fang nodded directly. "Okay."

"You talked for so long," Qin Fang reached out and hugged Xing Yan, squeezing his neck with his hand. "Actually, I have a lot to say too, but I don't want to say it now."

Xing Yan asked him, "Then what do you want to do?"

Qin Fang smiled. "There's quite a lot I want to do."

Xing Yan had said everything he needed to and no longer had anything weighing on his mind. At this moment, looking at Qin Fang's smiling lips, he suddenly kissed him.

"There's quite a lot I want to do too," Xing Yan's voice deepened. "Are you still going to change your pants?"

"No need to change them." Qin Fang put his hands on his waistband, staring into Xing Yan's eyes. "...But I can take them off."
