After I became a stand-in, I made the male protagonist cry[MTL]

Chapter 39

　　The dark sky was dotted with a few faint stars. Wen Heng stood at the end of the corridor and opened the window. He felt a cool breeze blowing in, which instantly cleared his mind. No one spoke in the earphones, but there was a rustling sound. He closed the window a little, leaned against the wall, and knocked on the person on the other end of the phone.

　　"Why aren't you talking?"

　　"No, I'm not silent." When the man who had just buried his head in the pillow heard this, he immediately looked up, as if he felt Wen Heng was by his side, trying ineffectively to hide his anger.

　　"I'm not silent."

　　"Okay then." Wen Heng chuckled and stretched, "It's past one o'clock, do you want to go to bed?"

　　Just as he was about to go to sleep after making a phone call, Qu Mubai stared at the avatar on the phone screen. The alcohol started to take effect, and the emotions that he usually suppressed immediately burst out.

　　"Well, go to sleep."

　　"how about you?"

　　"Don't worry about what I do, just sleep." Qu Mubai poured a cup of coffee, obviously preparing to stay up all night.

　　"What the hell is wrong with you?"

　　Even through the phone, one seems to feel a strong sense of impatience.

The hand holding the mug suddenly paused, and Qu Mubai's voice returned to being cold, "It's okay, go to sleep, I still have some work to do."

　　"..." The person opposite was silent for a moment. Qu Mubai's grip on the mug tightened. His beautiful black eyes seemed to be stained with mist, so hazy that it was hard to tell what was in his eyes.

　　"How about you ..."

　　"Mu Bai..." Wen Heng sighed and spoke hesitantly, "You know, I've never been in a relationship before, and I'm still learning about relationships. This is my problem, and I'll slowly change. But can you please stop keeping it to yourself and tell me so I can change, okay? Let's be good to each other, okay?"

　　His voice was pleasant and gentle, and it strangled Qu Mubai's words "Why don't you go to bed?"

　　After taking a sip of coffee and feeling the bitter taste spreading from the tip of his tongue, Qu Mubai fell silent, but not for long. It might be because he drank alcohol today, which made him change his temperament from being able to keep things to himself. He became a little childish.

　　"...I'm not unhappy...I just feel a little aggrieved. Why do you only chat with me when I look for you? You only take the initiative to go out with me when I ask you out? I feel like I've always been the one taking the initiative in this relationship between you and me. You never seem to have taken the initiative. I can't find the feeling that you're good to me. Wen Heng, do you really love me?"

　　Do you really love me?

　　This sentence, like a sharp sword, pierced deeply into Wen Heng's heart. Does he love Qu Mubai?

　　It seems to be true. Except for the accidental encounter at the beginning, the rest of the time they spent together seemed to be fought for by Qu Mubai. Even the beginning of the relationship was proposed by the other party. He also admitted that at the beginning of the relationship, he just wanted to add a heavy stroke to his short life, so he agreed. At the beginning, he didn't take this relationship too seriously. He was independent and autonomous, just like he was not in a relationship.

　　But later, I still care about him! I think of him every day without realizing it. I take out my phone to check if he has sent me a message. My mood gets better when I see him. I feel safe and secure when I am with him. I don't know where the love comes from, but it is deep and lasting.
