Chapter 2: Love and Kill

Main roles: Li Qingye, born in 2005 (boy), Ji Hyatt, born in 2005 (boy)

Li Qingye was born into an ordinary family, and because he was a boy, his family didn't care about him at all. Even if he didn't come home all day, no one cared about him. Although he studied well at school, he didn't have any friends.

April 14, 2016

A new student named Ji Hyatt has joined Li Qingye's class. Li Qingye had no friends sitting next to him. In this way, Ji Hyatt became his desk mate, and the two of them unconsciously became good friends, and also Qingye's only friend.

They stay together after class every day and even when they go to the bathroom, they have a very good relationship. They also told each other where they lived and would go to each other's house to play when they had free time. The two of them signed up for taekwondo together for extracurricular activities.

However, what a precocious girl said broke their relationship. The precocious girl said when they were glued together after class,

'Two homosexuals.'

Upon hearing this, Qingye immediately retorted,

'We're not homosexuals, we're just good friends.'

Meanwhile, Hyatt just watched Qingye from the side. Returning to class, Qingye asked Hyatt,

"Is our relationship too close?"

Hyatt replied, "I don't think so."

Qingye continued, "Let's keep a certain distance in the future."

Hyatt looked at Qingye with a disappointed expression.

Afterwards, the two did not go to each other's homes either.

March 29, 2017

They have been divided into different classes. At the end of class, Qingye went to find Hyatt as usual, but today he found Hyatt walking with other friends and not waiting for him. He felt a sense of heartache and jealousy in his heart for some reason.

After finishing their meal, the two of them met in the bathroom. Hyatt, as usual, directly put her arm on Qingye's shoulder and said,

"Why didn't you come to eat with me today?"

Qingye threw Hyatt's hand away and pushed him into the bathroom, saying,

"You still have the audacity to ask. I wait for you every day. You followed your friend to the cafeteria today and didn't even wait for me."

Hyatt pushed Qingye away and said, "You're sick. Can't you come by yourself? You still want me to wait for you. You're not my only friend."

After saying this, Hyatt turned around and left Qingye standing there foolishly.

At night, Qingye lay in bed crying, constantly recalling the words Hyatt had said.

A few days later, Hyatt approached Qingye and said,

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked to you like that."

He also invited Qingye to drink milk tea, and Qingye forgave him.

However, due to being in different classes, their relationship became much weaker and they didn't even speak. Qingye also found her new friend.

After a few months, Qingye suddenly realized that Hyatt was walking hand in hand to the library with a boy. He was somewhat incredulous, but for some reason he still felt some heartache as Qingye watched them enter the library. He was just about to go to the library to make sure he read correctly when suddenly his friend asked,

"What are you looking at?"

He immediately replied, "No, no, let's go back to class."

Soon after, they went on a graduation tour group, including Qingye and Hyatt. As expected, Hyatt shared a room with the boy holding hands with him, while Qingye shared a room with his friend.

Furthermore, they have been playing outside for the past few days, and even if they met, they didn't say hello. Until later, the two of them met in the cafeteria and sat down together to chat and eat. They were talking about how good they used to be when Qingye suddenly asked,

"What's your relationship with that man?"

Hyatt looked at Qingye and said,

"Can I be gay? I'm gay, please stay away from me."

After saying that, he left angrily, and Qingye stood still. He didn't expect that he would be so angry just asking.

The graduation tour group has ended, and they have also graduated, and then they started to take more holidays.

January 2, 2018

At the new school, Qingye and Hyatt were in the same class, and Hyatt became Qingye's classmate again. Qingye learned from his friend that Hyatt and his boyfriend had broken up, and Qingye felt a little happy for some reason.

At night, Qingye lay in bed muttering to herself,

"I seem to have fallen in love with Hyatt."

The next day, when they arrived at school, the two of them felt like they had gone back to the past, eating together after class, going to the bathroom together, and doing everything together.

June 16, 2019

They went to class as usual, but Hyatt suddenly told Qingye,

"Come to the restroom first, I have something to tell you."

Qingye followed him to the restroom, then was pulled in and locked the door. Hyatt said to him,

"Actually, I've wanted to say something to you for a long time. I've liked you since I was 11 years old, and every night it's you in my dreams. So would you be willing to be with me?"

Just as Qingye was stunned, Hyatt immediately hugged him and said,

"I really like you."

Qingye instinctively pushed him away. Qingye hadn't recovered yet when Kaiyue was about to kiss him. Qingye immediately pushed him away forcefully, slamming him into the wall, then opened the door and left, saying,

"I... I'm sorry."

Then he ran away. He didn't know why he had to push him away. Although Qingye also loved Kaiyue, Qingye still couldn't accept that he liked boys.

Qingye told his friends about this matter, and they began to spread it everywhere. The whole school knew about this scandal, and Hyatt was also ruined in school. Qingye learned about this and wanted to apologize to Hyatt. Hyatt hasn't been to school recently.

August 21, 2019

On Hyatt's birthday, he invited Qingye to his house to celebrate. Hyatt's home was only with him today, but Qingye was completely unaware.

At night, Qingye came to Hyatt's house and said,

"Wow, this familiar feeling."

Hyatt silently closed the door and said, "I'm not familiar now."

Qingye immediately realized something was wrong when she heard this. Turning around, he found Hyatt holding a knife in his hand. Qingye's voice trembled as he asked,

'What do you want?'

Hyatt didn't hesitate to insert, and Qingye dodged sideways. The two of them began a chase, with Qingye fleeing while turning back to dodge. Seeing Hyatt fall, Qingye immediately rushed forward to grab the knife. Hyatt suddenly plunged into Qingye's foot, causing Qingye to scream in pain repeatedly. Taking advantage of the victory, Hyatt pursued and plunged his knife into Qingye lying on the ground. Qingye turned around and Hyatt's knife plunged into the ground, giving Hyatt a punch. Hyatt fell to the ground, and Qingye climbed onto Hyatt's body, punching him until he was flesh. Then he picked up the knife on the ground and was about to stab Hyatt, but Qingye was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Hyatt immediately knocked off the knife in Qingye's hand and punched him. The two of them staggered up, and Qingye said,

"I didn't mean to, I came here today to apologize to you."

Hyatt said, "I don't care."

After saying that, he rushed towards Qingye and knocked him to the ground, then punched him one by one, and Qingye kicked Hyatt away. Qingye is already exhausted, and with injuries on his feet, he is no match for Hyatt. Hyatt watched as the unsteady Qingye kicked him over, and Qingye fell to the ground in response. Hyatt rode on Qingye, picked up the knife beside him and plunged it into Qingye. Qingye blocked the front with his own arm, and then Hyatt inserted it into Qingye's arm. Qingye screamed in pain, and Hyatt retreated in fear. Qingye stood up and pulled out the knife from his hand, throwing it aside. Then they hugged Hyatt and gasped heavily, saying,

'I don't blame you, I don't blame you.'

Then they kissed him. Then they called an ambulance, and the nurse in the car asked them what they had done. They said,

"It was just a fall."

They went to the hospital and looked at each other in bed. Hyatt smiled and said,

"Today is the happiest birthday I've ever had."

Qingye smiled and said, "Damn it."

After this incident, they became best friends and both loved each other deeply. They had this relationship until graduation.

April 30, 2023

How about we open a store and start a business together, " Hyatt said.

Qingye replied, "Okay, then let's sell food."

Hyatt said, "Sure, let's call it Friend or Love."

Soon after, they opened a shop with a photo of the two elementary school students hanging under the sign, and a yellowed taekwondo competition number plate at the corner of the photo.

April 14, 2025

They adopted a child. A few years later, their child grew up and asked,

"Why do I have two dads?"

Hyatt blinked and said, "You'll find out later."

Qingye smiled and messed up the child's hair.

"But no matter which one you choose, you'll be loved.
