Take Responsibility for Me

Yan Yun sauntered into Physics Class One, then casually glanced toward the classroom door.

With just one look, his heart began to race.

“Yu Li, can I ask you something?”

Yu Li looked up at him, his eyes asking, “What is it?”

Yan Yun cautiously tested the waters: “You're so good-looking. Is there someone you like?”

“No.”

“Then... do you like guys?”

“I'm straight.”

In Yan Yun's mind, the word automatically translated to: straight = directly into guys.

“What a coincidence, I'm straight too. So tell me, if you multiply two positives, could the result be negative?”

Xi Lai Ancient Temple.

Yu Li devoutly bowed three times before the statue of Buddha.

Yan Yun leaned over. “Does praying to Buddha work?”

Yu Li said, “I don't know.”

Yan Yun immediately clasped his hands together, grinning with shameless swagger. “Then if I pray for you to fall for me, will that work?”

One day later, Yan Yun stood beneath a redbud tree, holding a bouquet of pale blue roses as he confessed to Yu Li. Yu Li asked him, “Why are you giving me flowers?”

“Because dating starts with a bouquet of flowers and a proper confession.”
