Since Sach rescued him from the harassment of the pervert, he felt that the relationship between them have become closer. Bryan Huo wants to confirm this. He doesn't want it to be his own illusion.

He knocks the door gently and a man asks who he is from inside. After Bryan Huo whispered his name, Sach quickly comes over and opens the door for him.

"Brother Sach."

Bryan Huo calls his name shyly. Now just calling the name of Sach would make him happy.

This is his first time to enter the room of Sach Xiang. He could not help looking around it. It was just a guest room that was left empty in this house, but now it has changed completely, giving off the smell of the owner. The room is simple and clean. Everything is in good order, and the cabinet is full of books.

He doesn't know why, but Bryan Huo thinks that everything in the room is not as warm as their owner.

"What's the matter?"

Sach Xiang asked. Bryan Huo suddenly becomes nervous. He just looks for him using an excuse. Nothing serious.

"The new tutor is coming tomorrow."

He has the excuse well prepared. Bryan Huo sits on the chair, dangling his long legs back and forth. Sach Xiang looks away to the side and stops staring at his legs.

"Is the new teacher your acquaintance?"

"His surname is Su. He is my friend, a straight-A student."

"I want to see him."

"You will see him tomorrow."

"Oh." Bryan Huo answers. He wants to stay here a little longer, so he tries to think of questions to ask.

"Will you stay at home tomorrow?"

Sach Xiang smiles at him. "Do you want me to stay at home?"

"No, it's just that I'm afraid if you are not at home, father will know I changed the tutor privately."

Bryan Huo turns red in his face. He thought for a long time, and he blurted out the thoughts hidden in his heart. He doesn't respond. He just looks at him with a faint smile on his face.

Under the gaze of Sach Xiang, he stands up embarrassedly and wants to go back to his own room.

"Your body..."

Sach Xiang stops halfway through. But it is enough to draw Bryan Huo's attention. He is in a panic. Has he found out the secret about his body? It's not possible. His briefs were still on when Sach broke in on that day...

"Those who can't go to school usually have diseases worse than general."

Bryan Huo secretly sighs. It turns out that is what he really meant. He replies ambiguously:

"My physical condition is poor. It's easy for me to catch cold, and I don't have much physical strength, even participate in extracurricular activities..."

"……"

Sach Xiang stops asking further questions. He sends Bryan Huo to the door. Not knowing which window is opened, they feel a cold drought blowing through.

He takes off his cardigan sweater and wraps up Bryan Huo with it.

"Be careful not to catch a cold."

Bryan Huo wanted to refuse because it's only a few steps away from his room in the corridor. But he really wants to wear the clothes of Sach Xiang all the time.

"Thank you, brother Sach."

After saying it in a whisper, Bryan Huo runs back to his room without looking back. He smiles foolishly behind the door.

Even before going to sleep, Bryan Huo is reluctant to take off the dark cardigan sweater that is oversize for him. There's the smell of "brother Sach". Finally he puts the clothes on the quilt and gets into the bed.

He can't tell if it's a fantasy or hallucination, but Bryan Huo, who is in a daze, feels that Sach Xiang is holding him. For the first time, Bryan Huo confronted his feelings for that man. He hopes that they can get more intimate.

Being held in the warm chest half-asleep, Bryan Huo falls into a sweet dream.

Sach Xiang is holding a book in his hands under the light of the desk lamp, but his thoughts have drifted away and he's unconsciously thinking about Bryan Huo.
