Chapter 98

Chapter 98

While Grandma was distracted, Yuan Ting grabbed Yuan Xiao and ran away.

Yuan Xiao, sobbing, asked, "Is it appropriate for us to run like this?"

"Yes," Yuan Ting said, "My dad needs time to come to terms with this fact."

"What if he can't accept it?"

"Well... he might lock me up, so there's no time like the present to run."

"Aren't you worried about him?"

"My dad has had his ups and downs in life, so this is just a minor setback..."

Yuan Xiao: "Is that so?"

Yuan Ting tossed the car keys he had taken from Yuan Qingguang to Yuan Xiao. "Come on, bro, no need to take the bus to town."

Yuan Xiao: "..."

He had just finished crying and didn't even know when his little brother had done so much.

When it comes to emotional resilience, it really has to be his little brother. No wonder he can be a homosexual; you really need some skill for that.

While Yuan Qingguang was getting beaten at home, the two brothers had already taken off in his car.

Yuan Ting, Mo Yikai, and Duan Wenze had arranged to meet at the teahouse. By the time they arrived, the two big guys were already there, each sipping on a pot of fruit tea, leaning against the sofa, yawning, and looking at their phones.

As soon as Yuan Ting arrived, he waved his hand and said, "Bring us a pot of Da Hong Pao."

When Little Yuan talks business, he has to do it with style. Fruit tea doesn't cut it for him.

"Oh, look who's here, it's Yuan Xiao." Mo Yikai and Duan Wenze greeted Yuan Xiao with smiles on their faces.

The two of them didn't mention anything about homosexuality, but they were particularly enthusiastic about Yuan Xiao, and their gossip-filled eyes couldn't be concealed.

Yuan Xiao scratched his head, not knowing how to explain, so he chose to remain silent.

Just as they had settled in, the private room door was pushed open again.

Seeing Cheng Nanye entering, Yuan Ting was momentarily stunned, then his eyes widened in pleasant surprise. He stood up and jumped onto Cheng Nanye, wrapping his long legs around his waist and hanging onto him. "When did you come back?"

Cheng Nanye lifted his butt and gave him a slight bounce. "I took the early morning flight. I was planning to call you when I got back, but I ran into Yikai at the door, and he said you had a meeting with him, so I came straight here."

Yuan Ting didn't expect to see Cheng Nanye today and was delighted. It was an unexpected joy.

"Oh my..." Mo Yikai teased, "It's only been a few days since you last saw each other, isn't it a bit too much... Oh my..."

Mo Yikai's eyeballs popped out because he saw Cheng Nanye leaning down to kiss Yuan Ting on the lips...

Mo Yikai took a deep breath, closed his eyes, rubbed his temples vigorously, and then opened them again. Cheng Nanyi had already let go of Yuanting.

Mo Yikai reassured himself, he had seen it wrong, he had seen it wrong... In the next moment, Yuanting held Cheng Nanyi's face and kissed him passionately and loudly, "Muah..."

Mo Yikai: "!!! Holy crap..."

Duan Wenze: "They really got together, we have to thank him for that."

Yuan Xiao had become numb. He had seen the two of them kissing for the past few days, and every time he saw them, they were kissing.

Yuanting slung his arm around Cheng Nanyi's shoulder and said, "Today, we'll come out of the closet to everyone." It had been years, and they had done nothing else but come out of the closet, all unexpectedly. So, they might as well just go all out.

"It's not my brother who's gay, it's me and my..." Yuanting introduced the people around him, "boyfriend, hehehe..."

"So, you're not gay after all. I knew it; not all the Yuan family members can be gay, or our ancestors would be rolling in their graves dreaming of killing you all." Duan Wenze sighed and said to Yuanting, "Although you fell for someone else because you couldn't have me, I still sincerely wish you well."

"Fell for someone else?" Cheng Nanyi squinted at Yuanting.

Yuanting rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Do I look like someone with a wandering eye to you?"

"Of course not," Duan Wenze chimed in, "first you fell for me, and then you fell for Cheng Ge. You have an excellent taste, really."

Yuan Xiao just laughed.

Yuanting bared his teeth and was about to pounce on him, while Mo Yikai finally regained his composure on the side.

Yuanting and Cheng Nanyi came out of the closet; both of them were gay.

OMG!!!

After the initial shock, there was another fact: everyone in this private room except him knew about it.

"So, I'm the last one to know?" Mo Yikai finally spoke with a hint of melancholy.

Yuan Ting could tell from his tone that something was amiss.

"Bro," Yuan Ting leaned in and sat beside him.

Mo Yikai squinted at him, the brat was calling him "bro" so sincerely for the first time.

"I really didn't mean to keep it from you," Yuan Ting was genuinely sincere.

Among the people in the room, they were all best friends to him and Cheng Nanyi. Moreover, they had all gone through life and death together. The bond between Mo Yikai and them was not to be taken lightly. In his heart, Mo Yikai's place was nearly equal to Yuan Xiao's.

"Cheng Nanyi and I only recently discovered that we both like guys, really. We used to think of ourselves as straight as an arrow."

"Bullshit, when we were hiking the other day, you turned down that one person and said you liked me."

Yuan Ting gave Duan Wenze a sly look, and Duan Wenze nodded; he hadn't lied.

"Alright, I admit I've always liked guys, but we didn't know each other liked guys too, so we never broke the news. We just recently did it, and my bro found out by himself. It wasn't us who told him."

"That's right," Yuan Xiao nodded, "I saw it from the rooftop. If you had been on the rooftop, you would've known too."

Mo Yikai sneered, "So, it's my fault for not climbing the roof, huh?"

"It's not your fault, not your fault," Yuan Ting said amiably, "Big bro, it's our fault."

"Heh," Mo Yikai pushed him away without a good mood, "We're done, we're done starting today."

"Don't be like that..."

"Giving you a chance." Cheng Nanyi pulled Yuan Ting over and gave Mo Yikai a kick.

"Oh, really?" Mo Yikai squinted, "So, you two are deceiving me and acting all innocent?"

"We're not lying. My bro discovered it on his own, and as for this guy, it's because of those girls who liked me last time. We had to come clean..."

"Several girls liked you?" Duan Wenze was surprised. "Why are you talking nonsense with your eyes wide open? Clearly, only one girl liked you."

Yuan Ting took a deep breath, "You wait for me first. I'll deal with you later."

"So, in conclusion, you're the first one to come out of the closet directly. The others were all involuntarily outed, which is enough to show your place in our hearts."

Mo Yikai snorted, his attitude softening a bit.

Yuan Ting turned and pounced on Duan Wenze with a howl. "I'm going to beat you for instigating trouble."

After the commotion, everyone finally settled down.

Yuan Ting leaned on Cheng Nanyi, sighed silently; coming out of the closet non-stop was truly exhausting.

"Why did you invite us out? Just to watch you two come out?" Mo Yikai was annoyed; he found them irritating now.

"No, of course not." Yuan Ting cast a flirtatious look at Duan Wenze and Mo Yikai, finally revealing the purpose, "I want to open a milk tea shop. What do you two think?"

"Go ahead," Mo Yikai lounged lazily on the sofa, his gaze fixed on Cheng Nanyi's hand.

Cheng Nanyi sat close to Yuan Ting, their position similar to before. They used to sit like this, but there was a difference!!!

If you observed closely, you would notice that Cheng Nanyi's hand was missing!!!

He just saw his hand reaching out from behind Yuan Ting, and it should have appeared from this side, but he didn't see his hand!!!

So, where did his hand go?

He had flirted with girls before, so there's a high chance Cheng Nanyi's hand ended up inside Yuan Ting's clothes.

The three of them grew up together since childhood, and then the other two came out as gay...

Doing these things in front of him, who can tolerate it, really?

He certainly can't.

Mo Yikai scoffed, "Damn gays."

Yuan Ting hadn't even revealed his plans yet and he was already being cursed at...

This attitude... didn't matter.

If you're a damn gay, you're a damn gay. He used to be a damn kid when he was young, and now he's a damn gay. It's all the same; nobody is better than anyone else.

But someone wasn't pleased.

Yuan Xiao frowned and glared at Mo Yikai, "How can you talk like that? How can you call them damn gays?" Yuan Xiao had always felt like he wouldn't live long; every time he mentioned death, his family would scold him. Who talks about dying all the time in a good family?

So, the word "death" was a taboo in the Yuan family.

Mo Yikai snorted, "Then what should I call them if not damn gays?"

"Just, just..." Yuan Xiao hesitated for a moment, "Well, they should at least be called living gays..."

Chuckles

Yuan Ting sprayed a mouthful of water, completely drenching Mo Yikai's face and even splashing onto Duan Wenze.

"Holy crap..." They both stood up together, pointing at Yuan Ting. "Are you insane? How can you spray water like that... Is your mouth a spray nozzle or something..."

Cough cough cough... Yuan Ting coughed hard, choked by the water.

"You little rascal, I'm speechless..." Mo Yikai wiped his face with a tissue while scolding angrily. "You used to munch on apples in your childhood, and now you're spraying water. Are you trying to gross me out?"

"How can you speak about my little brother like that?" Yuan Xiao muttered.

"You..." Mo Yikai glanced at Yuan Xiao, took a deep breath, and said, "Forget it, I won't argue with you Yuan family people. We're not related by blood, so why bother." It was maddening and not worth the trouble.

Yuan Ting finally finished coughing, clutching his chest, and yelled, "From now on, no one is allowed to talk. Listen to me." He hadn't even started yet, and at this rate, he wouldn't finish explaining his plan until next year.

The group of people gathered together, all talking nonsense.

"Hey, you..." Mo Yikai was pointing at Yuan Ting when Cheng Nanyi threw a pillow at him. "Sit down, stop bickering. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can disband. I don't want to waste time with this group. With this much time, it's better for the two of us to find a place alone."

"Big brother is still the best." Yuan Ting turned and kissed Cheng Nanyi on the face.

Mo Yikai: "..."

Holy crap, his eyes got contaminated.

Damn it, who's going to stop these damn gays from showing affection?

It's making him uncomfortable.

After Cheng Nanyi agreed to buy a jacket for Mo Yikai, he finally calmed down, sat back on the sofa, and glared at the little rascal. "Go on, you want to open a milk tea shop, fine, enough said. It's just a milk tea shop, stir some tea leaves, pour some milk, who knows if it's any good. The ingredients are cheap, a 20-square-meter space is enough, and you can open it with just ten thousand bucks, twenty thousand at most. I'll cover the money."

"Hehehe, big brother is the best." Yuan Ting smiled obsequiously.

"Xiaoting," Yuan Xiao furrowed his brows and tugged at Yuan Ting. "We have twenty thousand at home, and I have it too. If you want, I can give it to you. No need to use someone else's money."

"Who said I'm using someone else's?" Mo Yikai was unhappy, glaring at Yuan Xiao. "How am I using someone else's money? Young man, watch your words, they don't sound nice."

Yuan Xiao glanced at him and said calmly, "You want to talk about sounding nice when you keep using the word 'death.'"

"Alright, stop arguing. Listen to me," Yuan Ting stood up and placed his hand between the two. "I'm fed up with this. All of you are shareholders; don't create discord."

Yuan Ting then turned to Yuan Xiao and reproached him, "Brother, how could you speak to my brother Yikai like that? If Brother Yikai is willing to spend money for me, that's family. The way you spoke was indeed unpleasant."

As he said this, he also looked at Duan Wenze.

Duan Wenze, who had grown up with Yuan Ting, felt something was off. He shifted into a corner and waved his hand, saying, "I'm not your family. You don't need to think about me. You have three brothers right here, if you have an issue, discuss it with them."

Seeing the three "brothers" about to speak at once, Yuan Ting quickly shouted, "Stop, don't speak. Everyone present is family; there's no distinction between insiders and outsiders. We're all my real relatives. In a family, we shouldn't have internal divisions..."

"How much do you need?" Cheng Nanyi patted Yuan Ting on the waist and interrupted his words. "I'll give it to you." After pretending for so long, this little brat had exhausted him.

Yuan Ting turned to glare at him. "What's it to you? Today, you're just attending as a family member, with no participation or speaking rights. Keep quiet."

Cheng Nanyi curved his lips. "Alright."

Mo Yikai's teeth started to ache again. "Cheng Nanyi, you really are a wife slave."

"Hey," Yuan Ting got angry, "Who are you calling a wife slave? If it weren't for the fact that you're my family, my real brother, I'd have a bone to pick with you."

Mo Yikai: "...Little rascal... not normal."

Yuan Xiao looked at Yuan Ting in surprise. It was over; his little brother was giving up his dignity for the sake of twenty thousand dollars.

Duan Wenze shrank back again. It was over; this was a big move. He wished he hadn't come today.

Mo Yikai took out his phone. "I'll transfer thirty thousand to you right away. Stop this act."

"No," Yuan Ting made a gesture to stop him and smiled slightly. "Thirty thousand yuan? That's underestimating my brother and me..."

Yuan Ting looked at Duan Wenze with a radiant smile. "Confidant, soulmate, brothers who would go through thick and thin together..."

"If you have something to say, save it. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave," Duan Wenze was no longer the kid who got fooled into shaving his head. Yuan Ting could tell that he was up to something.

"My friends, please stay." Yuan Ting stepped over, squeezed in between Duan Wenze and Mo Yikai, and held onto their arms with one hand each. "Alright, no beating around the bush. I want to open a milk tea chain, and I estimate I'll need one million as startup capital."

The room fell silent, and while Yuan Xiao was busy picking up the eyeballs that had fallen to the floor due to shock, Mo Yikai and Duan Wenze both stood up and walked out. "No need to see us off."

"Don't beg them. I'll provide the one million," Cheng Nanyi added.

"Shut your mouth," Yuan Ting glared at him. "If you keep causing trouble, I'll kick you out. Do you believe me?"

Cheng Nanyi curved his lips and zipped his own mouth shut.

Yuan Ting's expression finally softened. "Darling, be good. When I become the little CEO, I'll take care of you. Kisses."

Mo Yikai shivered violently. "Damn it, what sins have I committed? Damn gay."
