Chapter 20 I am gay
Xie Wang's resolute and decisive "breaking off relations" resonated with Ling Shuangjiang, who nodded her chin towards the sea breeze, turned to face the ocean, and said in a relaxed tone, "So heartless? We can't even be friends anymore?"
"Hmm." Xie Wang put one hand in his pocket and said in a low voice, "If we don't break off the friendship, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. It's better to distance ourselves from each other as soon as possible."
“Yes, indeed,” Ling Shuangjiang said.
Xie Wang looked at him: "Why are you suddenly asking me such a strange question?" After hesitating for a moment, he frowned and said hesitantly: "I feel like you're not in a good mood today."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled faintly at him: "Yes, a little."
As expected, Ling Shuangjiang was unhappy.
Seeing this, Xie Wang stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulder, and then used one hand to rub his head.
"Why are you unhappy? Tell me."
Ling Shuangjiang couldn't hide her dejection: "Because the person I like doesn't like me."
"What?" Xie Wang's eyes suddenly turned serious as he looked down anxiously at Ling Shuangjiang's eyes. "How could anyone not like you?"
“I’m not money, how could everyone like me?” Ling Shuangjiang turned her head away, not wanting Xie Wang to look at her so concernedly. “This kind of thing is normal, but maybe it’s because this is the first time I’ve liked someone, so I’m a little sad.”
Xie Wang smiled, put his hand on Ling Shuangjiang's shoulder, hugged him and gently patted his head: "I didn't expect our little Shuangjiang to have never been in a relationship? But first love often ends without a trace, you will meet someone better in the future."
Ling Shuangjiang pressed herself against Xie Wang's chest and murmured, "Really?"
Xie Wang said confidently, "Yes, you will meet someone. You might even be glad that your last relationship ended then."
Ling Shuangjiang straightened up gently and looked at Xie Wang.
Xie Wang tidied his messy hair and muttered to himself, "I thought you were upset about something, but it turns out it's this. In the future, if you're sad or unhappy, don't keep it to yourself; tell me right away. Lovers will always come and go in your life, but I won't."
After saying this, Xie Wang felt incredibly cool.
Ling Shuangjiang must have been deeply moved and regarded him as her closest friend.
Ling Shuangjiang stared at him for a long time. After a moment, he concealed his disappointment and sadness, and forced a smile.
"Okay, thank you, bro."
"Hmm." Xie Wang hugged him again, secretly despising the blind man.
—
After lunch, the guests were about to leave Xie Wang's private scenic resort.
After a brief selection of guests, Xie Wang led Ling Shuangjiang and Qi Yu led Wen Nuan to the luxurious manor.
Huang Shan, standing to the side, said with envy, "I've done the math, Shuangjiang must be the guest who visited the manor the most this season."
"Don't be discouraged," Joey whispered. "I heard that a heavyweight male guest will be coming tomorrow, supposedly an award-winning actor."
Huang Shan exclaimed in surprise, "I thought the show wouldn't add any more people."
Joey chuckled gossipy: "It's said that the movie star wanted to attend."
Huang Shan was puzzled: "I don't understand what the Best Actor is thinking."
On the yacht, Wen Nuan chattered incessantly, extremely excited to be able to go to the island with Ling Shuangjiang and Xie Wang.
Feeling stuffy inside, Ling Shuangjiang went out onto the deck alone, wanting to feel the sea breeze. Sitting on the floor, the blue and white hues in the distance gradually blended together, bringing a sense of peace.
Xie Wang's words came from the bottom of his heart, and he thought about them for a long time.
He was torn about whether or not to give up on Xie Wang.
"look."
A familiar voice suddenly rang out overhead, and a white box suddenly fell in front of Ling Shuangjiang.
Xie Wang sat cross-legged beside him, keeping him in suspense: "Guess what's inside."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled gently, cradling the box in her palm and examining it for a moment: "Does it look like a necklace or jewelry?"
"How clever." Xie Wang opened it. "It's a pair of earrings."
Unlike the deep blue diamond earrings that Ling Shuangjiang is currently wearing, Xie Wang's earrings are silver-white with some simple decorations, and at first glance, they look like the tip of a glacier.
Ling Shuangjiang asked, "Is this a gift for me?"
"Yes." Xie Wang said frankly, "I bought it for you before I left because I was afraid you would be unhappy."
Ling Shuangjiang silently looked at the earring.
He hadn't expected Xie Wang to be so thoughtful in trying to make him happy.
He took out an earring and gently put it on, then brushed away stray hairs to show Xie Wang: "Does it look good?"
Ling Shuangjiang's ears were white and small, with silver-white rhinestones on her earlobes, making them very beautiful and eye-catching.
Xie Wang raised an eyebrow: "It's bought for you by your brother, of course it looks good."
[It's so sweet, but why is Frostfall unhappy?]
[The fourth male bought earrings for Shuangjiang.]
[The two diamonds are so beautiful, I'm tempted.]
Only those who truly care about you will pay attention to your feelings and want to make you happy.
Ling Shuangjiang looked at Xie Wang and suddenly smiled.
He held the earring case in his palm: "Thank you, I'm not unhappy now."
Xie Wang sneered: "Look at you, so pathetic. Don't be sad over someone who isn't worth it next time. If something happens to me one day, then you can cry your eyes out."
Ling Shuangjiang immediately frowned: "Don't talk nonsense."
Xie Wang put his arm around him and said, "Alright, let's go to the manor later and enjoy ourselves so others will be envious."
Ling Shuangjiang raised the corners of her eyes: "Okay."
As Ling Shuangjiang followed Xie Wang into the cabin, she secretly gazed at Xie Wang's strong and deep profile, still unwilling to give up just like that.
He decided to take a gamble.
Try again.
After entering the manor, Qi Yu and Wen Ai headed towards their own courtyard, leaving Ling Shuangjiang and Xie Wang walking forward.
The two were quite familiar with the area and could find their destination even without the little robot's guidance.
A sumptuous French dinner has been prepared. The decor is very stylish, with aromatherapy, candlelight, and chandeliers, showing that it has been carefully arranged.
Xie Wang joked, "The scene is like a date."
Ling Shuangjiang retorted, "Aren't we on a date?"
Xie Wang was taken aback, then nodded slightly: "Yes."
"I'll cut the lamb chops for you." Xie Wang said to Ling Shuangjiang with practiced elegance, "Little Shuangjiang is unhappy today, so I'll have to be more accommodating to you."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled and said, "I'm already very happy because of you."
"Really?" Xie Wang handed him the plate. "It's a little hot, be careful when you drink it."
Ling Shuangjiang nodded: "Yes, thank goodness for you."
[Hhh, so sweet!]
[What else could they be but a couple!]
I just love watching the two of them.
"Who arranged this dinner?" Xie Wang randomly pulled a white rose from a glass bottle, his gaze falling on the candlestick. "It's quite romantic."
Ling Shuangjiang: "The texture of the tablecloth and the color scheme between the food are also very beautiful, which really gives it a sense of ceremony."
Xie Wang was decanting wine with a decanter. "A friend of mine is very particular about rituals and loves romance. Every time we go to his house for a meal, it's like filming a movie. The venue is beautifully decorated, and he can prepare several kinds of wine glasses and candlesticks. He's extremely fastidious about cleanliness, and after the meal, we have to help him clean up."
"Oh?" Ling Shuangjiang fiddled with the white roses. "Is it your friend who likes boys but has a bumpy love life?"
Xie Wang was quite surprised: "How did you know?"
Ling Shuang lowered her head and smiled gently: "From your description, I can roughly guess that this boy is sensitive, a romantic, and may like boys."
Xie Wang joked, "I didn't expect you to know so much about gay people."
The steak juices that had just been served splashed onto Ling Shuangjiang's hand. Xie Wang quickly pulled out a tissue with his right hand to wipe it off for him, and after wiping it, he carefully examined it to see if there was any injury.
Ling Shuangjiang let him hold her hand, while lazily resting her chin on her other hand: "Because I'm gay too."
The knife and fork fell onto the disk, making a crisp sound.
Xie Wang, with a look of disbelief on his face, slowly withdrew his hand from Ling Shuangjiang's.
Chapter 21 Shura Field
[Did I hear that right? Frost's Descent is gay?]
[Haha, the fourth male lead is shocked.]
[I knew it! They must be real! Good brothers wouldn't be hugging and cuddling all the time.]
[Allow me to offer some hindsight, but I always thought that Shuangjiang, such a gentle and lovely boy, actually liked boys.]
[Now the third and fourth male leads can be together openly, yay!]
[Wait, didn't you guys notice? The fourth male lead's expression looks a little off.]
The relaxed atmosphere seemed to freeze suddenly. The shadows of the candles on the candlesticks swayed and flickered. Ling Shuangjiang's gaze fell on the hand that Xie Wang had suddenly released, and her expression subtly changed.
As expected, Xie Wang was very bothered by this matter.
"Sorry for telling you so late." Ling Shuangjiang took a knife and fork, cut a small piece of steak, and chewed slowly.
Xie Wang's expression was complicated, and he remained silent for a long time.
