What Happens In Rome.... [Lgbt] [✔]

Chapter 28

Qiqi was over the moon, she had finally been hired back and she would be working alongside Lisa day after day.
She didn't even comment on the low salary, she had one and that was all that mattered, she hadn't forgotten her dream. She promised herself that she would work hard and learn as much as possible until one day she would open her own place.
Well, the dream had slightly changed after all because now she thought of it as 'our place'.

Her relationship with Lisa had not been hindered by her bizarre situation, and she thanked her star for that. Maybe it was a bit too early to think about living together, but she wasn't sorry that Lisa had suggested it. On the contrary, she liked her possessive side, she thought it was sweet, just like her.

They were currently walking all together around Rome, looking at all estate agencies they found for an apartment that could accommodate them all.

Lisa and Qiqi walked ahead, Yunlan and Wei followed them.
The apartments they had seen so far were all either too small, too big or too expensive, but they were still looking.

Qiqi saw someone selling street food and got excited, she insisted that Lisa explained to her what that 'maritozzo' was and how it was made, and they went to buy one because of course she wanted to try it.

The girls went ahead while the men stayed behind, looking at the people passing.
"We probably look like two couples," Wei said suddenly, and Yunlan chuckled. "We are!"

"You know what I mean, two men and two girls..."

"Yeah, I guess we do."

They smiled at each other, and Yunlan felt happy to see Wei so relaxed, not thinking of Feng and Jiu anymore.

He hadn't had a chance to ask the boss why were they here yet, but he didn't really care, as long as they stayed as far away from Wei as possible.

"Look who's here, little toad showing his face again!"
Wei froze, and both turned to look in the direction of the voice.

Jiu was crossing the street towards them, followed by a reluctant couple.

Yunlan noticed that BeiBei was still limping and inwardly laughed. That would serve her right for talking to Wei like that.

"Why don't you crawl back into your little hole and stay there, huh?".
Jiu's voice was conceited and full of hate.

Feng intervened trying to prevent another fight. "Stop it Jiu, I told you I'm tired of all this."

"Why? Wouldn't it be fun to see him cry?"

'He saw me crying' Wei thought, but he couldn't say it. That was one detail he had never told anyone, not Yezun and certainly not Yunlan, he still felt ashamed of how he cried silently while Feng had sex with him, ashamed because he didn't stop him, hadn't want to stop him, he had wanted so much to believe that he loved him, that someone, anyone could love him, and he had convinced himself that he loved Feng but he had never felt good in his company. He knew the difference now between loving someone and wanting to love someone.

That was back then though. He set the memory aside, it didn't matter anymore, he knew now what love felt like and didn't want to think of the past, he wanted to think only of Yunlan.

"I wouldn't enjoy seeing a man cry, but him... but I suppose an apology could suffice, after what he did to my husband," BeiBei said.

Yunlan instinctively moved closer, burning with anger. Wei felt a pain in his heart at those words, he had never been able to fight the hatred of the world but Yunlan's proud eyes the other day appeared in his mind; he knew that he wasn't either strong or brave but he could pretend that he was, and maybe he'd see that look in his eyes again.
