"I love you."

None of the sweet words that men had said in bed could be trusted. And as a man, Bai Yu agreed to that.

Therefore, now, after they had spent a long, tired, but very happy night together, Bai Yu couldn't believe the words that Zhu Yilong had blurted out.

He wouldn't ignore the fact that he and Zhu Yilong had been separated for several months, without contact or meeting. Only sometimes—of course it hadn't been that often—sometimes he had fallen into the regretful memory of their sweet nights together.

They had been secretly dating while shooting their movie called Guardian, and shared each other's body temperature in bed. Of course, at that time, Zhu Yilong had always muttered in his ear some ridiculous love words, and Bai Yu had thought that it was very romantic.

Zhu Yilong always looked like an introvert when he was in front of people, but when he was entangled with Bai Yu in private, he always whispered sweet nothings to him passionately. The handsome man would kiss him while telling his love. Whether with that low voice or the full-of-affection voice, it had been enough to make Bai Yu melted.

But tonight was different. They were hugging and lying on the bed together. Zhu Yilong rested his chin on Bai Yu's head, enjoying the sleepy feeling after the joy.

"I thought we had broken up," Bai Yu said suddenly.

"Never." Zhu Yilong stroked Bai Yu's messy hair to soothe him, and replied slowly. "I don't recall we ever agreed to break up."

"We didn't, but to be honest with you everything felt like it." Bai Yu struggled a few times in Zhu Yilong's arms, trying to free himself.

"No." Zhu Yilong tightened his hold on Bai Yu's body. "Baby, please don't be like this."

Bai Yu raised his face and stared at Zhu Yilong fiercely. "Be like what? You didn't take the initiative to meet me for like three months. I'm not a fool, that's what people call a breakup."

"That's not a breakup, that's called a long distance relationship." Zhu Yilong couldn't help laughing, pinching Bai Yu's cute chin. "I thought you were a good kid who wouldn't lose your temper."

Was he losing his temper? – Bai Yu asked himself that. Although love did make people naive, Bai Yu would never admit it.

In fact, he was just a little upset because they couldn't be together in public. Bai Yu thought that if he wasn't just a secret lover of Zhu Yilong, but a boyfriend who could stand side by side with him, he might not be like this.

"Then you don't have to avoid me all the time," Bai Yu said sadly. "Am I so vulnerable in your eyes?"

Fragile, sensitive, and arrogant, Bai Yu felt that he could at least say a dozen more similar words to describe Zhu Yilong's thoughts on him. But still, Bai Yu couldn't help but hope that Zhu Yilong would answer him with a kiss, and then told him a lot of "sorry baby I didn't mean to hurt you".

Bai Yu had naively thought about what would happen if they really met in public one day, but it just hurt to hope for the impossible.

"I want to break up with you," Bai Yu finally said. "I can't anymore."

Bai Yu stared nervously at Zhu Yilong. The face of the person he liked the most was neither shocked or annoyed, nor showed the gentleness which he was very familiar of—but the helpless yet extremely forgiving expression.

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai, I know what you really want." Zhu Yilong repeated his name. "And I'm willing to do that, I'm ready to take all the risk by going public, but Xiao Bai, I can't put you into that condition." He said seriously.

Then Bai Yu simply cried, because he wasn't sure if he could take all the risk either, he could just let Zhu Yilong hold him, soothing him with sweet words and kisses.

Honestly, at that time he didn't really want to break up, he just– well, maybe Zhu Yilong was right, he was very naive and couldn't control his temper.

He should also apologize, but he was too panicked, just like hanging in the air, wavering, and he was a little less sure whether Zhu Yilong would accept his apology.

After all, the one who should be aggrieved was Zhu Yilong.

"Ge, Long Ge..." Bai Yu whispered, his voice almost inaudible.

"Yes, baby?" Zhu Yilong smiled, he pulled Bai Yu's hair out of his eyes then looked at him gently.

Many words were stuck in Bai Yu's throat, and many emotions were stuck in Bai Yu's heart. He lifted his head and looked at Zhu Yilong silently, he suddenly couldn't say anything.

Zhu Yilong waited patiently for him, as always.

Long Ge, sometimes I feel that my encounter with you is inevitable and destined, and my feelings for you are like stars in the sky, because I can't count them at all, so you never know how much I—

"I love you."
