After I Blocked My Crush

the crowd.
He had a part in all of the school’s activities.
Lin Xia joined the photography club so that he could openly take pictures of Yi Shang.

There were so many people doing the same thing around him, Yi Shang won’t notice him at all.
He hid in the crowd and looked up at the dazzling Yi Shang.

From the first meeting, Lin Xia knew that they weren’t people of the same world.
Yi Shang was the star in the sky and the moon in the sea, which were things he’ll never get to touch.

He can never get close to Yi Shang if he’s always confined to his own land.
Lin Xia tries to make himself better, and whenever he wants to retreat, he always remembers Yi Shang’a words, “What are you doing with your head down? Keep your head up”.

The shadows of the two intertwined under the streetlamp, it lengthened and shortened.
The shadow told Lin Xia that he was really better now, that he was standing beside Yi Shang.

“Do you want to be with me?”1

Yi Shang’s sudden words interrupted Lin Xia’s thoughts.
Lin Xia turned his head to look at Yi Shang beside him with eyes full of doubt. What does that mean?

“Do you want to be with me?” Yi Shang looked into Lin Xia’s eyes and asked again.

Lin Xia stopped walking.
The sound of the wind seemed to disappear in an instant.
He could only hear his heart beating violently, “Does that mean what I think it means?”

In Lin Xia’s perception, he only just became friends with Yi Shang.

“Although it’s a bit sudden to say these things right now, I don’t want you to face these things alone.”

Yi Shang didn’t want things to be so quick either.
He still wanted to enjoy the process of Lin Xia “pursuing” him and wanted to tease Lin Xia, but the matter with Qi Shi just happened to happen, so he had to push it forward.

“Do you like me?” Lin Xia didn’t immediately agree.
He was afraid that it was just a moment of heroism for Yi Shang.

“Of course! If I don’t like you, why would I want to be with you!” Yi Shang was a little upset.
He didn’t even say he liked him before asking Lin Xia to be with him, “It doesn’t count just now, let me restart.”

Lin Xia spoke first, “I like you.
Let’s be together?”

In addition to the WeChat confession, Yi Shang has received Lin Xia’s confession twice.
He felt his heart soften and said, “Okay.”

“C-Can I hug you?” Yi Shang was a little at a loss.
He touched his neck with his hands, and his palms were slightly wet with sweat.

Not only Lin Xia’s ears were red this time, but also his face.
His eyes drifted all over the place and didn’t dare to look at Yi Shang, he stammered, “Do you have to ask such a question?”

“I’m afraid you’ll think I’m not respecting you if I hug you as soon as we confirm our relationship.” Yi Shang was a little embarrassed.
“I’m also afraid you’ll think I just like you for your body.”

Hearing this, Lin Xia laughed.
What kind of brain circuit is it? He leaned forward and hugged Yi Shang, “You can do whatever you want.”

He waited too long for this day, starting from the encounter during their first year of high school.

Yi Shang held Lin Xia tightly, he put one hand on Lin Xia’s neck, and gently rubbed it.
After a long time, he suddenly sighed.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Xia’s breath sprayed on Yi Shang’s skin.

“Nothing.
It’s a pity I missed out on you in high school.
If I had noticed you then, we could’ve been together for a few more years.”

“It’s no pity.
Perhaps you wouldn’t have liked me in high school, and right now, it’s perfect.”
