Silence. 

It was so silent you could hear a pin drop. Even Xie Mingze was silent with his mouth wide open. 

That crazy mother fudger! 

He just outed both of them in front of everyone. Starting from the base of his neck to his face, it turned cherry tomato red. He looked like he was on fire.

"Damn, you gay people." Mu Bai cursed under his breath.

"Also, I nearly forgot we have a cctv here. If you don't pass me that flashdrive you're screwed." 

That's right there's CCTV! So why does he need to expose their fake love affair? Fen Yichen was the only one losing out. Even Zheyan was frozen with his mouth wide open.

Xie Mingze closed his mouth for him. "Brother, be careful of the fly getting inside your mouth." 

"Y-you crazy!" 

This is it. He knew he would lose friends because of his sexual orientation. Xie Mingze sighs. 

"You dated and you never told me? All this time I was a third wheel. I knew something was wrong when I felt like a single dog when we are eating lunch together." 

"Is that really the point? Aren't you repulsed? I'm gay for pete's sake." Mingze asked, his friend completely missing the point.

"I already knew you were. I saw the magazines in your room. Well if a person is not close to you then they probably wouldn't know, but me? I had known my brother for a long time." 

Zheyan patted Mingze on his shoulders, completely uninterested in his sexual orientation. 

While the only thing whirling inside Mingze's head was the fact that his friend knew. Honestly, he thought he hid everything well. Turned out he was just an open book.

"Also I know you guys dating was inevitable, but you should've given me a heads up."

"What inevitable? We only started to try things out."

Hai Zheyan clicked his tongue and shook his head while looking at his cabbage. Aiyaaa this cabbage that was unknowingly dug up by a pig is really miserable.

"Brother, sometimes I wonder how you managed to survive this cruel world." 

Zheyan was not the sharpest but Mingze was honestly dumb when it came to these things. He also tend to worry about useless things 

"You're speaking cryptic, talk straight so I could understand you." 

"Let's just go to a gay bar to lift your spirits up. I know a place." 

An arm hugged Mingze from behind, "Don't just casually invite him to that messy place. "

His eyebrows furrowed in dismay, shooting daggers at Zheyan.

Turns out the reason he returned to his seat was because the professor called Mu Bai out of the classroom. He really hated people who steal other people's work. Mu Bai might've even needed to drop this subject.

If he had only been honest and asked for a few days he could've passed the subject. Now he would be forced to drop. 

"Why didn't you tell me you're dating? This is the biggest scoop in the campus." Finding the other half, Hai Zheyan steered back the topic to their dating. 

"It was my fault, I didn't want anyone to know. I don't want to add male rivals to myself, my lover is already popular with girls. If they knew he swing that way then a lot of guys would come for him." 

Oliver near their seats sneered at his remarks. 

"What kind of guy would even like him?" He said with a high so mighty voice.

"I'm glad you don't know. If you knew you would also fall for him. Enjoy your life, never knowing Mingze's charm. Thank you for being an idiot."

His face and intonation showed how grateful he was that Oliver was an idiot. This further annoyed Oliver, he just stopped talking and ignored them. 

Now back to the topic of their supposedly secret relationship, that for some reason Fen Yichen was so excited to share to everyone. He was usually the type of person to keep to himself but he just announced it like that?

"I was busy chasing after Xie Mingze, it was only recently where we started dating."

"The great Fen Yichen not getting someone with a snap of his fingers? Maybe you should've gotten him a car then he would say yes." Zheyan joked laughing his ass out. 

If anyone else said that he would get punched in the face, but since Mingze genuinely knew he was joking he did not say anything.

"I did try to give him a red sports car, but Ming doesn't want to accept it. Maybe it's a bit tacky for him. Why would he even need a car when I'm the one driving him."

Xie Mingze pinched Fen Yichen's waist in annoyance, he did tried to give him a car. The reason it was rejected, was because it's too much. 

"Stop saying anymore, you're breaking your own image." 

He was telling everyone how he was so smitten, it wouldn't be an exaggeration that they would think Fen Yichen was kissing up to him. This was just a deal for him to pay off his debts, Yichen shouldn't act like he is ready to give everything up for him. He should act like this was casual and fun. 

Xie Mingze thinks this was wrong. He was getting more benefit than his employer, so he can't escape the guilt he felt in his heart. 

"Fuck, get out of here you rich young man. I hate capitalism all the more because of you. What kind of rich dandy would casually give a red sports car?"

Only Fen Yichen is the only one enough to be nonchalant about it. Hai Zheyan continue to rant about capitalism, completely forgetting about his family's business. Almost majority of people studying in this school is rich. The only reason why his credit card was cut off was becuse he stubbornly choose to study arts instead of business. 

"Brother Ming, if you don't like the sports car how about giving it to me?"
