The winter break is about to begin. However, instead of being excited, Feng Fei is a bit unhappy.

 

Thankfully, Feng Fei was sent a miracle. Now that Hai Haowei suddenly showed up and stuck himself into the situation, Jiang Yuman is upset and doesn’t want him to contact Haixiu, blowing the winds directly into Feng Fei’s favor.

Feng Fei accompanied Haixiu back to his home to get some clothes and daily necessities. This time, Feng Fei came prepared, and brought a lot of gifts, especially to prepare Haixiu’s mother for the future, when they would come out to her as being in a relationship. Most of the gifts he sent were specialties from his hometown, and he treated sending those items like they were simple and cheap. Jiang Yuman tried to decline, but in the end could only accept the gifts, and said, laughing: “Haixiu eats and lives in your house, yet you say you don’t need living expenses. Not only this, but you also send so many gifts…”

Feng Fei didn’t know that Hai Xiu had told Jiang Yuman about the ‘cost of living’ matter. He glanced at Hai Xiu and smiled, “Hai Xiu and I are friends. Helping each other is what we’re supposed to do, so there’s no reason to talk about money. My parents won’t be here that often in the future, so there will be many times in the future where I have to ask for Haixiu’s help.”

“If you have anything you need help with, don’t hesitate to ask me.” Jiang Yuman was truly grateful to Feng Fei. “No need to treat me like a stranger.”

Jiang Yuman took out some fruit for Feng Fei to eat, and hesitatingly asked, “Haixiu has already told you about our family matters, right? Reasonably speaking… We shouldn’t be bothering you, but Haixiu is too unaccustomed to interacting with other people. To let other people look after him … “

Feng Fei knew that Jiang Yuman was a very strong woman, and was ashamed to admit that their family situation was not so good, so he quickly interrupted: “There’s no need to worry. I already know the gist of the situation. Haixiu and I will be together all day at my home, nothing bad will happen to him”

Feng Fei looked at Jiang Yuman and laughed: “I’m physically fit as well, so you can rest assured.”

Jiang Yuman smiled: “Of course! I will set my mind to rest. Although you’re only one year older than Haixiu, your mind is much more mature than him. In fact, Haixiu also understands, it’s only that he is too shy and introverted, which always makes me worry about him.”

“Don’t worry, there’s still me.” Feng Fei looked around the room and smiled. “I’ll go check up on him. We have classes in awhile, so we still have to go back to school after he’s packed.”

Jiang Yuman was busy, so she let Feng Fei help himself. Feng Fei got up and walked into Haixiu’s room, gently closing the door, and hugging Haixiu who was packing up his clothes from behind.

Haixiu was startled, and after seeing the door was closed, anxiously whispered to Feng Fei: “Don’t, my mother is still outside …”

“The TV is on outside, no one will hear us” Feng Fei murmured softly, “You told your mom about the matter of living expenses?”

Haixiu suddenly remembered this fact, hurriedly covering his mouth and fearfully saying: “I … I forgot to tell you.”

Feng Fei thought the startled Haixiu was very cute, and laughed, “It’s okay, I was afraid we weren’t on the same page, so I didn’t say much, and just smoothed over it.”

Feng Fei looked at Hai Xiu’s bed with mischievous thoughts and said in a low voice: “If we have time, then that’s good.” Just as Feng Fei’s voice fell, he kissed Hai Xiu, kissing him all the way from the closet door to the bed. Haixiu was scared thoughtless, and was so afraid Jiang Yuman would walk in on them his eyes were blown wide open. However, because the sensation was too stimulating, Feng Fei was able to kiss Haixiu for a good five minutes before finally letting go. He lowered his voice and laughed: “I’ve been wanting to do things on your bed for a long time, I just couldn’t find the chance. “

Haixiu’s cheeks were crimson, and he couldn’t speak clearly. Feng Fei pulled him up and opened the door, going to speak to Jiang Yuman. Only now did Hai Xiu realize that Feng Fei had locked the door when he first came in. At the same time, he felt a bellyache: He had scared himself needlessly again! At the beginning, Feng Fei was worried that Jiang Yuman would continue to talk about the cost of living. He didn’t want to tangle with Jiang Yuman, but instead, Jiang Yuman sent him a full set of expensive clothes the next day. Feng Fei didn’t act polite and accepted the gift. Now, they were more connected than before, and the relationship between Jiang Yuman and Feng Fei closened as well.

Haixiu officially moved into his home, and his relationship with Jiang Yuman is developing well. Everything is developing in a good direction. The only fly in the ointment was… he could have never even imagined, just leaving for two weeks would result in two large test folders filled with blank papers. 

“These … don’t count as the ones in the exercise book.” Haixiu swallowed hard and whispered, “You … How about you don’t do all the papers, but the key points that the teacher taught last month, you have to know well. The homework related to those key points… you should also probably do. “

Feng Fei looked at the two large folders on the table and bitterly thought about his half month of leisure, but in the end, said helplessly, “I’ll do it!”

Haixiu cheered Feng Fei: “I will do it with you, and if you get confused I will teach you, so take your time, don’t worry.”

With Haixiu there to help, Feng Fei was naturally not in a hurry. After all, it was just reading some books and answering some questions. The teachers didn’t teach much during the period of time before winter break, and usually were just reviewing and explaining the test papers, and rarely came to look over the self-study classes. The amount of schoolwork given during this time period decreased, allowing Feng Fei to catch up easily.

After returning to his house, Feng Fei was able to calm down quickly, and worry less.

Maybe it was because he was used to living without his parents, or maybe it was because his plans for his future became clearer and clearer, or maybe turning into an adult at the age of eighteen really made him mature into a man. Feng Fei felt that his mind and thoughts became a lot less chaotic and messy, and that he became much more stable and mature.

Growth is always slow and without traces. Haixiu noticed it, but could not accurately pinpoint what exactly changed about Feng Fei. The only thing he could tell for sure was that Feng Fei seemed to have grown to be even more attractive than before. In the past, Feng Fei was only able to concentrate on studying for 30 minutes at most. Other times he was either spinning his pen, walking, or playing on his mobile phone. Now he can join two self-study classes without getting distracted.

Haixiu peeked at Feng Fei’s serious face, and the only words spinning in his head were: Feng Fei is so handsome!

Feng Fei soon discovered that Haixiu was peeking at him, however, as soon as he raised his head, Haixiu would immediately turn his head and pretend to be very seriously studying, and sometimes would even read the question aloud in a soft voice, pretending to be very attentive. Feng Fei felt like his heart was about to burst from happiness, and bowed his head to continue studying. After Hai Xiu found that the crisis had passed, he would continue to sneak peeks at him once again, a face full of relief. During class, Feng Fei sorted out the questions he had about the lesson, and asked Haixiu all of them at once. Haixiu explained them one by one to him. Feng Fei was able to understand the concepts very fast–once Haixiu reminded him of the key points once, he would be able to understand, and would not make the same mistake again. 

Feng Fei spent all day and night studying for three consecutive days, and made up the lessons that he had missed, finally being able to let out a sigh of relief. Haixiu hesitated, and reminded him:

“There is still language class…”

“What else is there to make up for in language class?” Feng Fei refused to cooperate, and perfunctorily said, “For something like the language class, i’ll just copy down all the passages that need to be copied, and then i’ll be done.”

Language is the only course that you can’t cram for, where you could not improve your results in a short amount of time. Feng Fei thought that the amount of effort needed to be put in was not worth it, and was not willing to put his focus and effort into the class. Hai Xiu also knew what Feng Fei thought about language class, and would not urge him so much. Feng Fei looked at Haixiu, and suddenly smiled: “Just now, who was it that peeked at me during class?”

Haixiu froze and shook his head. “Not me, it wasn’t me!”

Feng Fei felt that Haixiu was acting extremely cute: “Why are you so unwilling to admit it? I’m so handsome, it’s normal to not be able to resist looking at me.”

Haixiu was still too embarrassed to admit, and noticed a mark from a fountain pen on Feng Fei’s fingers, took out a wipe from his bag, and tried to wipe the mark away. Feng Fei deliberately wiggled his fingers, making it hard for Haixiu. Hai Xiu grabbed his wrist with a smile, cleaning the length of his finger carefully.

Feng Fei held his wrist and frowned,

“Why is your hand so cold?” Feng Fei held Haixiu’s hand, and with his other hand leaned over and touched the heating pipe on the left side of Haixiu, frowning: “What’s wrong with this heating today?”

“It’s posted on the notice board. The pipe is leaking, and it needs to be repaired today. It will be fine by afternoon.” Haixiu didn’t feel cold. He had cold hands and feet originally, so he didn’t really care about this. “I’m normally like this, so i’m fine”.

Feng Fei got up: “I’ll get you a down jacket. Put it on first.”

The winter clothes of the students are usually in their own lockers, located at the back of the classroom. Feng Fei opened Haixiu’s cabinet and took out his down jacket. He Hao in the back could not bear to look at him directly:

“Can you not be more diligent?”

“What is being diligent?” Feng Fei locked Haixiu’s cabinet and smiled. “This is being thoughtful.”

The two girls in the back row blushed and looked at Haixiu enviously. He Hao coughed twice and reminded Feng Fei in a low voice: “You’re dancing on a fine line.”

He Hao’s table partner was present, and Feng Fei was sitting on his seat, smirking: You rouge, nobody thought anything about it. Aren’t we just good friends with a great relationship? Don’t think too much about it.”

He Haojin: “Wasn’t it you who told me …”

“Alright, alright.” Feng Fei interrupted He Hao. “Let me ask you something.”

He Hao squinted at Feng Fei: “If you have something to say, say it quickly”

“After we returned from Mujia Hot Spring that day, did Shao Yueying didn’t look for Haixiu again?”

He Hao was puzzled: “Why would she go look for Haixiu?”

Feng Fei didn’t answer, “Just tell me if she did or didn’t.”

He Hao shook his head: “No, the day you went to the hot spring, after the two of you left early, Shao Yueying also left before evening. After that school started, and I’ve never seen her approach Haixiu again.”

Feng Fei was still not assured: “Then when Haixiu is in the corridor or outside, did he meet Shao Yueying?”

He Hao pursed his lips: “Meet? That Haixiu would have had to move his entire desk outside before he went outside. These days you are away, he hasn’t moved anywhere except going to the bathroom. The teacher also praised him after the test, for getting first place in both class and grade again. “

He Hao thought about it again, adding: “But … if anything was abnormal, it’s because he was always checking his cell phone. I’ve seen him look at it several times.”

The smile on Feng Fei’s face grew stronger, and He Hao’s words came out of his mouth before he thought of something, pushing Feng Fei angrily, “He was contacting you ?!”

Feng Fei humbly said: “Maybe after every three to five texts to me he would also text his mother?”

The more He Hao thought about this, the more he felt that Feng Fei came to show off to himself, and suddenly felt a wave of bitterness. He pushed Feng Fei angrily: “Go away! Go to class.” Feng Fei returned to his seat with a smile, and handed the down jacket to Haixiu: 

“Put it on quickly, many people have caught colds recently. Be careful about your health.”

Haixiu put on the down jacket right as the bell rang. It was still a self-study class, and Feng Fei read two pages of his book then touched Haixiu’s hand–it was a little cold. Haixiu’s heart was warm, and he whispered to Feng Fei, “I just put it on, it will take a while to warm up … you!” Feng Fei grabbed Haixiu’s hand, lifted up his sweater, and directly pressed Haixiu’s hand onto his lower abdomen. Haixiu was startled, and looked around in panic. Fortunately, all his classmates were all looking down at their books. Haixiu originally didn’t feel like his hands were cold, but after touching the belly of Feng Fei, he felt that his hands really were freezing cold. He was afraid of chilling Feng Fei, and tried to yank his hand back. Feng Fei grabbed his hand and frowned, “Don’t make trouble, read your book.”

Feng Fei sorted out the tracksuit (T/N basically the school uniform) that he was wearing so it would cover Haixiu’s arm and block the eyes of others. He pressed his left hand on Haixiu’s wrist to stop him from moving it any more, and continued to flip the textbook with his right hand, reading it carefully, as if nothing was wrong.

Haixiu’s right hand was held and pressed tightly onto Feng Fei’s warm skin. He could distinctly feel the contours of Feng Fei’s abdominal muscles. Hai Xiu wanted to pretend that nothing had happened like Feng Fei did. Still blushing, he buried his head deep in the textbook, his heart feeling both warm and sweet, and his cold fingers slowly warmed up.
