"Why are you explaining it to me? It's your home, and you can go anywhere you want," Xiao min countered as he wrapped the towel back tightly and put on the white shirt.

Getting his stuff from the wardrobe, Shen Li instructed, avoiding to look at Xiao Min, "Make it fast, breakfast is getting cold."

"Hmm!" Nodding Xiao Min looked at the door where Shen Li just left.

Xiao Min noticed the change of behavior in Shen Li but didn't do anything to anger him as Xiao Min was happy with what was going on at the moment, at least his senior didn't ask him to leave like all other previous times.

When Xiao Min went to the living room, Shen Li was doing his work. Seeing Xiao Min, Shen Li instructed, "I reheat the breakfast. It's on the dining table."

"Did you have breakfast?" Xiao Min asked.

"Hmm!"

After what happened the previous night, Shen Li didn't dare to face Xiao Min, thinking Xiao Min would catch what he felt for him, and Shen Li didn't want it. Looking at Xiao Min, Shen Li was sure; Xiao Min didn't remember the kiss and the confession.

Xiao Min sat on the chair to eat. The moment he looked at the breakfast, he realized all the things on the table were what he liked to eat but then thought, 'Is it just coincidence or senior really did it for me?"

Shen Li glanced at Xiao Min, and as expected, Xiao Min was surprised while looking at the food served in front of him. Shen Li deliberately prepared everything that Xiao Min liked, and he didn't know why suddenly he felt like to do everything that Xiao Min wanted. Shouldn't he do the opposite to keep Xiao Min away from him, but his heart started to change, and he wished to control it like before?

Xiao Min understood his senior really cared for him. He let him stay at his place, took care of him, and even prepared his favorite meal.

As he had a few bites, Xiao Min asked, "Senior, I want to say something."

"Hmm!" came the approval from Shen Li.

"I wish us to be like before how we were as a junior and a senior in the past. I don't understand why we can't be friends, but I really wish to be your friend like before."

Shen Li said nothing as he continued looking at his laptop screen, and Xiao Min continued, "I am not asking you for anything more, but I just wish to meet you once in a while without any restriction. I promise you; I won't trouble you. It won't be much, but like once in a month or two. I would be happy with just this much. We can just meet once in a while at dinner or lunch and talk about something. It would be enough, too, and I won't be coming to your home like this."

Still, there was no reply from Shen Li that disappointed Xiao Min as his throat felt choked with the emotions he felt. He was scared that he won't be seeing his senior anytime soon as it took him three years to be with him like this.

"H-how about once in a six month or year? More than that would be....."

Xiao Min couldn't continue as he thought tears would roll down his eyes, and he kept quiet as he stuffed his mouth with food to show he was silent because he was eating. The next moment he heard something that he felt like he heard something wrong.

"How about you can meet me whenever you want?"

Finally, Shen Li spoke. All the while, he didn't talk because he himself didn't know what to reply, but when he felt Xiao Min came to the point of begging him, and he would cry for it, it hurt Shen Li. Not thinking about what he had decided for all those years, he thought about the person he loved.

Xiao Min didn't reply as finally tears rolled down his eyes but didn't want to show it to his senior and continued chewing what was already stuffed in his mouth to buy some time to get hold over his flowing emotions.

Though Shen Li didn't look at Xiao Min, he knew what Xiao Min must feel and kept quiet to give him some time.

"If you give me such permission, I might trouble you daily," said Xiao Min.

"If you trouble more, I will just kick you out, so don't worry about it," Shen Li countered, and a light smile painted on both of their lips.

Xiao Min finished breakfast and went to the sofa where Shen Li sat.

"Thank you for breakfast. I will take leave now."

"Hmm! You don't have a car, so let me drive you," Shen Li offered.

"I will get a cab, don't worry."

Xiao Min left Shen Li's home. He would have liked if Shen Li had come to see him off, but Xiao Min needed some time alone to get hold over what he had remembered when he was standing in the shower.

The moment he sat in the cab, he closed his eyes and remembered those lost memories from the previous night, which flashed in front of his eyes, standing under the shower.

He thought it was his imagination at that time, but later how Shen Li treated him, cared for him, and even prepared his favorite food, Xiao Min was sure it was not his imagination.

'What had gone into me? How can I confess to him and...and that kiss...how can he let me do it?...so it's not just what I alone feel but he likes me too...' Xiao Min concluded to himself as he added, 'Now what? What should I do?'

It was quite a shock for him and puzzled his mind to think that Shen Li liked him too, and now all he needed to get a confession from his senior, but he should be careful not to upset or force him, or the things could go oppositely.
