A handsome guy was standing in front of Yang Sa. He was at least 1.85 m tall; his face was sharp and attractive, with a pair of deep and tender double-eyelid eyes, a straight nose, and perfectly seductive lips.
His mouth corners were raised, and his cheek muscles were lightly stiff.
Yang Sa asked, “Who did you say you were?”
The handsome guy said, “I am Luo Feng.”
Yang Sa: “Who?!”
The handsome guy, “Luo Feng.”
Yang Sa rubbed his eyes and carefully checked the person in front of him from head to toe.
“I … I seem to have had a high school classmate named Luo Feng,” Yang Sa said with some uncertainty.
“I am Luo Feng…” Luo Feng looked at him expectantly. “Don’t you recognize me?”
Yang Sa, “How to say… you really don’t look like you did in high school.”
Hearing what he said, Luo Feng hesitated to speak.
The more Yang Sa looked, the weirder he felt. He recalled the look of the boy named Luo Feng in high school, and he slowly shook his head, “You really don’t look like him… you didn’t have plastic surgery, did you?”
He said the second half of the sentence jokingly, but he didn’t expect Luo Feng’s expression to become stiff. Then, the man hesitated for a moment and leaned forward on the coffee table, “I… I got a facelift.”
Yang Sa “…”
Luo Feng held out his hand and gestured with his thumb and index finger, anxiously looking at Yang Sa, “just a little… very little.”
Yang Sa opened his mouth, “Uh… the eyes?”
Luo Feng, “Double-eyelid surgery.”
“Oh,” after confirming the position of the plastic surgery, Yang Sa nodded; double-eyelid surgery was not a major issue, but this guy was also the only person he knew to undergo cosmetic surgery. He found it very interesting and joked, “Your nose also seems….”
Luo Feng said shyly, “Rhinoplasty.”
Yang Sa “…???”
Yang Sa tested, “your mouth….”
Luo Feng, “a little lip reduction.”
Yang Sa, “… your chin ….”
Luo Feng, “bone reduction.”
Yang Sa “…”
Luo Feng looked at him expectantly, “Only changed a little… Yang Sa, do you think I look good now?”
Yang Sa replied a bit stiffly, “Good… you look good.”
If he said he didn’t look good, he was afraid the man who had changed his face so much would have a mental breakdown.
Meanwhile, he was thinking.
This… was this called a little? He was addicted to plastic surgery, right?
Had there been boy among his high school classmates who had cared so much about his appearance?
Damn. He had never seemed to pay much attention to Luo Feng in high school. The man’s sense of existence had been too weak back then.
Just as Yang Sa was stiffening up and something was bubbling in his mind, Luo Feng lowered his eyes and began speaking slowly.
“I… I know you like good-looking people… I also know I was not good looking back then… I just hoped that after all the changes… you could like me….”
Yang Sa could no longer listen to Luo Feng’s words. He replied in a trance, “Um… I… I like…”
Luo Feng’s eyes lit up; he finally raised his eyes to look at him again and whispered, “Yang Sa, I know you like men.”
Yang Sa’s body stiffened even more. “Huh… huh?”
Luo Feng, “I know… I also know that in high school, you used to date Jiang Cheng….”
Yang Sa opened his mouth.
He and Jiang Cheng had dated for two years and broke up after high school graduation. He always thought the two of them were hiding it well, so no one knew.
Luo Feng continued, “In fact… in fact, I liked you back in high school.”
After saying that, Luo Feng took a deep breath, gathered the courage to look straight at Yang Sa, and said, “Yang Sa, I like you. I have liked you until today. You… would you like to be my boyfriend?”
“I ask…”
The image seemed to freeze here.
The few scattered customers in the small coffee shop were quiet, and Luo Feng also became silent, holding the question in his mouth.
Yang Sa looked at the man in front of him. He never thought a high school classmate would confess to him on this sunny day. Specifically, he would be confessed at the coffee shop counter by a high school classmate that was completely unrecognizable after plastic surgery.
Yang Sa suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down.
Luo Feng was obviously very nervous, and his hands placed on the counter were clenched into fists.
It was clearly autumn, and the heating hadn’t been turned on in the store, but Yang Sa was sweating all over.
Yang Sa put his hand on his forehead, pondered for a few seconds, looked up, and said, “You wouldn’t have done plastic surgery for me….”
Luo Feng nodded eagerly before Yang Sa finished speaking and asked, “Do you like it? If you think something is wrong, I can go to Japan again. The facelift is more natural over there.”
Yang Sa “…”
Yang Sa gulped and said with difficulty, “You… you never thought that if your face were completely different, I might not like you?”
Luo Feng was gloomy, “Then… what do you like, tell me, Ok? I can change it accordingly….”
Yang Sa was stunned. He never really thought that a man would do this for him. He didn’t understand at all, and he felt his brain swelling. “Why did you have to do this for me? Didn’t your parents talk to you?”
Luo Feng’s body visibly tensed up, and he said almost stubbornly, “Yang Sa, nothing else is a problem. If I can overcome this, I hope to be with you.”
Yang Sa was a little breathless.
He interrupted Luo Feng, turned sideways, looked up, took a few deep breaths, and relaxed his mood.
“Luo Feng, why didn’t you ever contact me after graduation if you really liked me so much? You didn’t have to do this. If you liked me, you could have contacted me directly.”
Luo Feng said in a low voice, “I knew you wouldn’t like me the way I was.”
Yang Sa was a little angry. “How do you know? How do you know if you’ve never tried? You ran off to Korea, no, to Japan for plastic surgery, and I would like you when you came back? What if I told you I hate people who had a facelift?”
Luo Feng trembled, and his eyes were red.
Yang Sa still wanted to speak, but he couldn’t. His mood was complicated.
Just then, he suddenly clearly remembered a boy named Luo Feng in high school. He was really unrecognizable.
And this boy became like this for him.
Yang Sa said softly, “Did it ever occur to you that I would feel guilty seeing you like this? Are you trying to use my guilt to tie me to you?”
Luo Feng shook his head violently, “No.”
Luo Feng suddenly stepped back and said with downcast eyes, “I see. Yang Sa, it’s ok, I’m leaving. I won’t bother you again… I’m sorry… I’m sorry….”
He turned around and walked out of the coffee shop, embarrassed.
Yang Sa stood still for a moment. He raised his head and rubbed his forehead. He put his hands on the bar again, calming his emotions.
The colleague who had gone to the toilet came back and looked at him, “What’s wrong, not feeling well?”
Yang Sa kicked the chair behind the bar violently, and the chair made a harsh sound as it hit the floor. His colleague was shocked, and a few customers sitting at the bar turned around.
Yang Sa whispered, “I’ll go out for a while. Help me watch the place.” Then he bypassed the bar and ran out.
He found Luo Feng at the bus stop near the coffee shop.
The man was sitting on a filthy bench at the bus stop with his back slightly hunched, looking dejected.
Yang Sa stopped a few steps away and kicked his feet on the spot with his hands on his hips. Finally, he made up his mind and walked over.
Luo Feng seemed to be very immersed in his depressing world, just sitting motionless and staring at his thigh in a daze.
Yang Sa shouted: “Hey!”
Luo Feng was taken aback, and after he recovered, he turned his head and was startled to see Yang Sa.
Yang Sa looked at the man, pursed his lips, and spoke.
“First, I don’t like you. Second, you really scared me today. Whether your face or what you’ve done in the past few years, it scared me.”
Luo Feng looked miserable.
“Third, confessing at the bar – have you thought about what would happen if a new customer accidentally came in? What were you thinking?”
Luo Feng hung his head.
“The fourth point – “
Yang Sa paused, and his tone eased.
“No more plastic surgery in the future. Not even a little. This also includes injections and such.”
“Fifth. I do feel guilty for you, and I’m a bit upset with you because of your moral kidnapping,” said Yang Sa. “I don’t like you, but because of what you did, I really can’t bear to let you go back like this.”
“So, yes, because I’m sorry for you, I’m willing to give you a chance.”
Luo Feng jerked his head.
Yang Sa said slowly, “I’m giving you a chance because I sympathize with you. Decide for yourself whether or not you want this opportunity.”
Luo Feng stood up, took two steps toward the sunlight, “Want! I… I want it!”
The sunlight poured over both of them.
Yang Sa was helpless, and Luo Feng had tears in his eyes.
The unrequited love that humbled into the dust waited for six years for the opportunity… no matter the opportunity… he wanted it.
