Jin DongHai was stunned in place. Did he just cut me short? But why?
"I just wanted to tell you-"
"No need." Heng JiangYan refused.
"That I like you too. But it seems that you don't want that reply." Jin DongHai was getting petty by the passing second.
"Goodbye." Jin DongHai was really to leave the room but then-
He didn't believe what he heard. Jin DongHai likes him too....?
"Wait... I'm sorry. I was just...scared that you will reject me..." Heng JiangYan said weakly. Grabbing Jin DongHai's arm.
".. It's also my fault too, for hiding," said Jin DongHai

Gen Shen and another man stood there. The man's name was Hei EnDi, the general of Heng JiangYan's army. He was a great fighter. When he was a tee. His town was ransacked by bandits. Eni's parents died trying to protect him.
Heng JiangYan was young than him at the time. Came with the army and defeated the bandits. Hei EnDi wanted to be strong. Strong enough to protect what was his. But his parents have died, he didn't know what to protect.
But then Gen Shen came into his life. Gen Shen is not weak but he is not strong. Gen Shen's strong point is that he has speed and brain. Hei EnDi liked Gen Shen, may it be friendship, comrade, or even lovers. Gen Shen is the one he wanted to protect.
Today is the sixth year he reported to Heng JiangYan. He came was talking but then someone came in with Gen Shen. The pretty-looking young man was talking about sweets. But then turn to confessions? What? Heng JiangYan confession?!? He!? And that pretty-looking man????
Hei EnDi and Gen Shen were unexpectedly fed dog food by their Wangye.
"So then are we dating now?"
"Dat-ing?"
".... You know. The thing couples do after they got together."
"We don't have that custom."
"Well, from where I came from. We date then get married if we like each other and are willing to be together forever. It's like a trial before marriage. You can split up if it didn't work out one. "
"...." Heng JiangYan was speechless.
"I'm not splitting up with you Hai." Heng JiangYan hugged his turtle tighter. He doesn't want to be away from his turtle. How could he want the turtle split up? Isn't it asking him to die?
"But I want to experience dating!" stated Jin DongHai.
"Whatever you want Hai." Heng JiangYan said with a soft voice and his eyes are overflow with love and pampering.
