Lily and I hit it off and decided to take separate actions.She was responsible for browsing Ethan's Weibo,and I was responsible for looking through Ethan's QQ space.
The content on Ethan's Weibo was really boring.Apart from reposting a few activity promotions of the basketball club and basketball game news,there was nothing to dig into.
Lily quickly finished browsing and,after confirming that it was all content useless for our investigation,decided to look at Ethan's QQ space with me.
In Ethan's QQ space,most of the content in the past year was also club promotions or some casual photos of the campus scenery he took.When we scrolled further back to June after the National College Entrance Examination,Ethan posted a status.
"You are the only tyrant who has long occupied my heart."
The two of us looked at this status and had an intuition that something was wrong.
Lily asked me to keep scrolling,and she started searching online for the source of this status.
As I scrolled,I reached September of our senior year of high school.On the 24th,Ethan also posted an ambiguous status.
"Once a person has love,they always start to deceive themselves and always end up deceiving others.This is what the world calls romance,right?"
I patted Lily on the shoulder and motioned for her to look at my phone.
After Lily read it,she swiped the screen of her own phone and told me seriously,"The sentence about the tyrant comes from a love letter written by Oscar Wilde to his lover.The latter sentence also comes from Oscar Wilde's work,*The Picture of Dorian Gray*."
I had read many novels and works by famous Chinese and foreign authors before.Oscar Wilde was very famous,and of course,I had also heard of and dabbled in his works.Besides literary creation,Oscar Wilde was probably equally famous for being a rare homosexual in that era...
"So,"thinking of that Spider-Man figurine,I hesitated and said,"He might,like a boy."
Because that person was a boy,he would give him a Spider-Man figurine.Also because it was a boy,Ethan never dared to say it out loud.Even more so because it was a boy,Ethan only dared to keep it in his heart and didn't dare to confess to that person,remaining single until now...
After discovering Ethan's secret,we looked at each other and remained silent,no longer talking about this matter.
I originally thought that Ethan had a girlfriend,so I unilaterally cut off contact with Ethan after graduating from high school and didn't take the initiative to inquire about any news about him.But now,suddenly discovering the unmentionable secret of the boy I had silently liked for two years,I couldn't help but feel sorry for him...
Even though my love couldn't get a response,it could still exist openly.But Ethan could only hide all his thoughts in his heart and only dared to reveal a little bit through one or two ambiguous sentences.
After Lily gave up chasing Ethan,she got very close to Ethan's roommate,Alex.
Several times I invited Lily to go to the library with me,but she told me that she already had an appointment with Alex.
Looking at her increasingly evasive eyes each time,I thought that Lily was probably about to have a relationship.
One weekend in May,Lily invited me to go hiking with her.
Of course,Alex and Alex's friend also came along.
When Lily and I arrived at the agreed meeting place,I saw Ethan.
What was going on?I had clearly confirmed with Lily before that Ethan wouldn't come.
Lily avoided my gaze guiltily and then stuck to Alex.
I sat alone in the window seat on the bus,silently calculating in my heart how to deal with Lily when I got back at night!
I hadn't seen Ethan for a long time,and Ethan was still as unsmiling as ever.
But it seemed that he was even more popular with girls in this way.Several girls in the group were secretly sizing him up.Well,I was no exception.
Although I had given up on Ethan now,I had to admit that Ethan had an extremely handsome appearance.Especially now,he was sitting by the window with a cold face,looking down at his phone,and looking even more fair and handsome in the sunlight coming through the window.
Sigh,what a pity.Such a good-looking boy was gay.
