Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

No, are you still savoring it?

He Kongyue had a strange expression, pursed his lips, and dared not speak.

Suddenly, he felt that pursing his lips also seemed inappropriate, especially since he had just parted lips with You Su, making it seem like he was savoring the moment as well...

You Su coughed a few more times, expelling a lot of water. The feeling of drowning and suffocation was unforgettable, an experience that once undergone could never be forgotten.

His thoughts churned, and he immediately understood what he had been through.

It was Mr. He who exerted all his strength to pull him back from the brink of drowning.

"Thank you, Mr. He..."

You Su was still very weak.

He Kongyue casually tied up his wet hair, revealing his unparalleled handsome side profile.

He looked somewhat serious, as if he attached great importance to what he was about to say:

"A real man shouldn’t be constrained by minor matters, especially when life is at stake. Don’t let this weigh on you."

You Su was stunned for a moment. Actually, he didn’t intend to make things clear; he just wanted to thank the other party for saving him.

As someone who was unconscious, he was unaware when they performed artificial respiration on him. It was obviously He Kongyue, also a man, who would suffer from psychological pressure.

Yet he actually turned around to persuade me not to mind...

He wasn’t the kind who, after being saved, would be coy and pursue blame or accuse someone of ruining his purity. How could he blame the person who saved him; he didn’t have enough gratitude.

Just at this time, a few droplets of water still hung on He Kongyue’s creamy skin and slid down to the corner of his mouth.

He instinctively licked his lips, then lightly spat, only then realizing that he hadn’t yet wiped his mouth...

This action was naturally caught by You Su, who felt deeply embarrassed and said sincerely:

"Words can’t express my gratitude. Mr. He, you saved me, and I am extremely grateful."

Upon hearing this, He Kongyue’s eyebrows raised. Why is he being so solemn?

He’s not thinking that my slight spitting action was me expressing disdain, is he...

But even if I really did disdain, I wouldn’t do such an action in front of this blind person...

After all, saving him was my own decision. The person was unconscious and couldn’t express any opinion; perhaps You Su didn’t want a man like me giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation either. If I then behaved regretfully disdainful, wouldn’t You Su feel extremely guilty?

"There was a hair on my lips, nothing more." He Kongyue said nonchalantly, straightening his clothes.

"Oh..."

You Su nodded lightly.

?

Why is it so awkward?

He Kongyue, who had hit it off with You Su in the first half of the night, was now more awkward than when they first met. Frustrated, he said:

"Mr. You, it was just resuscitation, not a kiss. Why are you being so melodramatic? You don’t happen to have the affection for men, do you?"

"Huh?"

You Su exclaimed in surprise. Why is Mr. He blaming him for being melodramatic?

Actually, he didn’t think that He Kongyue’s tongue action was disdainful; expressing gratitude seriously is his long-standing habit.

On the contrary, it was He Kongyue who specially explained the reason for the tongue action, making You Su feel that He Kongyue was the one truly bothered, and as the rescued person, he felt embarrassed to say more.

"Didn’t expect... Mr. He figured it out..."

You Su buried his head, his voice as soft as a mosquito, "Mr. He, don’t disdain me..."

He Kongyue instantly widened his eyes, staring incredulously at this man who seemed shy.

So my advice for you not to mind was unnecessary?!

This blind guy not only doesn’t mind, he even feels like he gained something?!

...

He Kongyue took several deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the urge to say something directly.

He was born into a noble family, naturally more knowledgeable. Those with money and power are freer to pursue those they truly love; homosexuality has become a common thing.

He doesn’t understand, but he respects it, as part of his upbringing.

But he won’t become an object of affection for those people, that’s his bottom line.

"It’s just affection for men... quite normal, disdain doesn’t quite describe it." He Kongyue cleared his throat.

"Then..."

You Su deliberately elongated his tone, making He Kongyue’s heart lift up.

"What about you, Mr. He?"

"You Su!"

Upon hearing this question, He Kongyue’s previously hanging heart finally died. He was unprecedentedly serious, actually addressing You Su by name instead of calling him Mr. You.

"I hope you don’t misunderstand. I did that only to save you. I only view you as a friend and mean nothing else. I advise you to let go of these unrealistic fantasies!"

Thinking about these past days of being together, He Kongyue suddenly felt a chill.

He couldn’t help but wonder if this is another disadvantage of being blind?

Not seeing gender, do they view all favorable impressions as liking, regardless of gender?

To his surprise, in this serious atmosphere, You Su suddenly chuckled. Not only that, he laughed more and more heartily, making himself cough repeatedly as he was still short of breath.

"Mr. You, I’m not joking!"

He Kongyue was exasperated, his expression serious as never before. He had never seen You Su this happy before.

"Hahaha... I know Mr. He isn’t joking, but I am really joking." You Su laughed, patting his chest to regulate his breath, "No need to be so tense, Mr. He, I can still distinguish between male and female."

He Kongyue gave exaggerated winks, unable to discern whether You Su was lying or just too shy to admit after being rejected:

"How can you prove it?!"

As he stopped laughing, You Su realized the other may really have misunderstood, and wondered how they can continue as brothers?

He be the brother, and He Kongyue be the younger brother?

"If I truly had an affection for men, how could I possibly not have a single male friend?"

You Su gave what he thought was the most convincing reason.

"There are rumors of your friendship with Shi Yan, a new disciple of Profound Sky Sect’s Third Elder, and Shi Yan is robust and very masculine. I know quite a few who have affection for men; many are of that body type..."
