SHEN JI YUN'S ANSWER

SHEN JI YUN met his uncle's gaze.  And he said without even a bit of hesitation, "Yes, I'm willing to go on this path.  And no, I won't be pulling Yan Yan with me.  If I would be lucky enough to be accepted by him, then I will be his shield.  I will protect him from all kinds of storms that would come our way.  And if he doesn't want to just be protected, then I will hold his hand and we will face everything together."

He now knew why his uncle suddenly confessed to him about his sexuality and why he told him about his and Uncle Yue's story.  They met, fell in love, and became lovers.  Their relationship lasted for a decade and yet it still wasn't able to withstand the problems that any couple would face.
