The two of them sat in complete silence, a few centimeters away from each other. Cheng Xiaoshi could hear his own breathing, his heart beating out of his chest. At the moment, Lu Guang was looking at his phone, the latter secretly wishing he had something to distract him from the situation too.
He was, most likely, exaggerating what was actually happening, but he couldn’t help it. It felt like they were only an inch apart, which was far too close for Xiaoshi’s comfort. Considering how fast his heart was beating, he would most likely have a heart attack before he could give it a second thought. He desperately needed to distract himself.
Without giving it a second thought, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone as well, trying to do anything that would take his mind off the tension that was very much present in the room.
His thought process was interrupted as he accidentally leaned over, resting his head on Lu Guang’s shoulder. As soon as he realized this, he flinched, pulling back to his original position, looking at the other with apologetic eyes. The only thing rushing through his mind right now was worry and panic.
Before Cheng Xiaoshi could even fully process the last few events, Lu Guang pulled him back towards his lap, the other’s head now resting on his lap.
Lu Guang looked at him, patting his back while hugging him as hard as he could.
“It’s okay Xiaoshi, it’s okay…” He comforted in a low quiet voice, causing the other to let the tears they had been holding back fall.
“You’re too good for me,” he mumbled under his breath, letting the light sobs continue to flow out of his mouth. “Please don’t leave me…” He pleaded in a soft voice.
The only response he got was a pat on the back and an even tighter hug.
