Xu Chao, beside them, nearly burst out laughing at Lin Yang's words. He gave him a thumbs-up. "Way to go, Yangyang! What successful man doesn't have a few backups behind him?"
Encouraged, Lin Yang felt he had what it took too. "Hehe, I have two. Your second brother is my backup too."
Xu Zhou pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. "I didn't catch that. Say it again."
Lin Yang's butt clenched. "Or rather, I'm your backup?"
Xu Chao covered his mouth and snickered, but just then, a man's chilly voice rang out. "You want backups too?"
Xu Chao shook his head like a rattle drum. "No, no! A successful man only needs one man behind him. Hubby, I only love you. Mwah!"
Fu Sichen smiled. "Mm. I only love you too."
Xu Chao, who had been enjoying his little bit of mischief, immediately forgot his amusement. He turned to look at him in disbelief. "W-what did you say?"
"I said, I love..."

"Shh-"
"Don't say it, don't say it."
"They'll all hear you."
Fu Sichen smiled obligingly. With the boy's soft little hand covering his mouth, his voice sounded somewhat muffled, but all the gentler for it.
"All right. I'll only tell you that I love you."

Either he's said "I like you" enough times that it gradually upgraded to love, or his feelings are overflowing, and only "love" can express even a fraction of them.]
[Exactly. There's nothing unusual
