“Actually, it’s not that obvious! Really!” Hai Xiu spewed out lies with his eyes open, and reassured him again and again. “If you don’t look to closel, you can’t see it at all. I can’t see it that clearly myself!”

Feng Fei was angered speechless. He pointed to a few sophomores who were whispering while looking at him not far away and asked Hai Xiu, 

“Then tell me, what are they looking at?!”

 

The few sophomores who were discovered turned their heads hurriedly when they saw it, but they couldn’t help their curiosity, and snuck sideway glances at Feng Fei. rbD5aF

 

Hai Xiu said embarrassedly, 

“They’re looking at how handsome you are… Sometimes when I am in class, I can’t help but look at you secretly. You…you don’t know how good looking you are.”

Feng Fei got a sudden mouthful of sweetness, and hesitated. “You really… always look at me?”

 

Hai Xiu nodded shyly, and Feng Fei felt a little better. He glanced at the sophomores who were still peeking at him, and burst into rage again.

“What’re you looking at?!” WepOHd

 

The sophomore was scared into running away in a jumbled rush.

 

Hai Xiu’s expression was tragic as he desperately comforted Feng Fei on one hand and led him to the classroom on the other. C8G59V

 

As they were about to go up the stairs, they met a few boys who belonged to the next class over. The boys were stunned and stood there in shock, forgetting to continue to go downstairs.

“You guys……”

Feng Fei, who was in a bad mood, was looking for trouble. Hai Xiu hooked his hand around Feng Fei’s arm and said anxiously,

“I have to collect everyone’s homework today, so I have to get to the classroom early…otherwise I can’t finish it in time…”

 

Feng Fei was still angry, but he merely glared at the boys in warning, and followed Hai Xiu back to the classroom. po0yuZ

 

Hai Xiu kept praying in his heart, hoping that no one would pay attention, especially the teachers. Hai Xiu felt a little embarrassed. Feng Fei’s bruised face was so obvious that Ni Meilin would definitely be able to see it. How should he explain it then? They even had to go run laps in a while, the director will definitely see it too. Wouldn’t he suspect that Feng Fei got into a fight? How would he explain it to him?

 

Hai Xiu thought about it more and more, and began to hypnotize himself again.  JhcqWb

In fact, it’s really not that obvious. No one can see it. There’s less than a hundred days before the college entrance examination. Who would pay attention to this…

 

Feng Fei turned his head to look at Hai Xiu, who pressed his hands together to beg for mercy. “Otherwise…how would I explain? I, I…”

  sOHLNI

“It’s okay.” Feng Fei grit his teeth and swallowed his anger. “I’ll just say that I let you hit me… I’ll acknowledge it.”

 

The word ‘acknowledge’ somehow suddenly struck Hai Xiu’s heartstrings. Hai Xiu was stunned and sat down, saying in a low voice,

“I mean it…you’re still very handsome now… I don’t think you’re ugly at all.” pKS4hm

 

Feng Fei gave him a glance.

“Isn’t it that you always think I’m handsome?”

Hai Xiu shyly responded,

“That’s right.” He felt a little embarrassed when he finished his sentence.

 

Feng Fei snorted, and just as he was about to settle down to read the book, his phone rang. pZFYfW

 

Feng Fei took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID–Feng Xuan.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

Feng Fei immediately hung up, then continued to read the book. After a while, Feng Xuan sent two text messages. Cd7YUO

 

Feng Xuan: How is your face?

 

Feng Xuan: Don’t tell our parents. If they video call with you in the next two days, make sure to pay extra attention. eZdln5

 

Feng Fei grinded his teeth, deleted Feng Xuan’s text messages, and read the book carefully.

 

From this day on, Hai Xiu felt that Feng Fei had changed yet again. us0ERt

 

At the beginning of this semester, because he didn’t have much pressure, and even though Feng Fei was serious about reading, he was always easily distracted and not so attentive. But after he talked with Feng Xuan and promised not to drag Hai Xiu down, Feng Fei began to fulfill his promise, and was meticulous and focused in his studies.

 

Since then, Feng Fei has never copied answers from Hai Xiu. He did all of his homework by himself, and he would no longer pick and choose the easiest exercises to do. Whether it was Chinese or English, as long as it was assigned by the teacher, he would complete the questions. After completing the assignments, he would carefully check the answers. For the questions he did wrong, he must understand why he did it wrong. The weak points in his knowledge that were pointed out by the questions he answered incorrectly were reviewed repeatedly to ensure that he would not make similar mistakes again. fzPACo

 

Feng Fei’s exercise book that Hai Xiu had passed out incorrectly at the beginning of the year was already filled with mistakes. Feng Fei was on his seventh copy now, with all the pages of the first three copies filled just within the first month of school.

 

Meanwhile, Hai Xiu still used his one thick copy. On the fifth page of the exercise book was Feng Fei’s signature along with the ten copies of “Feng Fei”, which he wrote silently afterwards. sW25dp

 

After so long, Feng Fei may have forgotten where those copied words had come from, but Hai Xiu still remembered it clearly, and cherished it very much.

Every time Hai Xiu used the wrong question book, he would turn to that page to take a look. He compared Feng Fei’s previous handwriting and said in surprise, KwUp4f

“Your handwriting… seem to be neater than before!”

 

On the weekend, the two of them reviewed on their own at home. Feng Fei spent an hour listing all the important points about electromagnetics. Hearing what Hai Xiu said, he raised his head and gave him a glance, harumphing.

“In this half a year, I’ve probably written all the words I’ll ever write in my whole lifetime! How could my handwriting not get better?” Mby5E0

 

Feng Fei’s calligraphy was already beautiful, but now that he was diligent in writing, his penmanship was more mature and stronger than before.

Hai Xiu looked at the cursive sentence in English, which Feng Fei had written on his scrap paper, and admired him.

“Really…with this handwriting, even if your English essay was just the romanization of the essay in chinese, the examiner would still have to give you some points…It’s really too good…” ms6U8K

 

“Writing the romanization? Who do you think I am, He Hao?” Feng Fei was furious, saying, “Hai Xiao Xiu! You really have been too presumptuous recently!”

(TN – the ‘xiao’ in Hai Xiu’s name means little, Feng Fei is somewhat endearingly demeaning him)

Hai Xiu shrank his neck in fright, and whispered,

“I…I’m complimenting you, really…”

 

Feng Fei said coldly, 5GnoxZ

“Come and kiss me, before I really get angry.”

Hai Xiu smiled. He was sitting opposite Feng Fei, and when he heard his words, scooted over to Feng Fei’s side, and asked embarrassedly,

“Kiss…where?”

Feng Fei looked at Hai Xiu indulgently, and licked his own lips. Hai Xiu looked at Feng Fei’s healed mouth, and kissed him. As soon as their lips touched, Feng Fei turned his face to continue the kiss. Hai Xiu smiled and hid. “You haven’t finished your work yet! Finish writing your stuff first…”

 

Feng Fei didn’t listen to him. He directly pressed the person on the carpet and kissed him until he was satisfied.

Feng Fei sat up, picked up the pen, and finished writing his assignment whilst proclaiming, 

“I have to have this kind of reward from time to time so I can stay motivated, understand?”

 

Hai Xiu got up and crawled back to the other side of the small table, buried his red face in the exercise book, and answered in a voice as small as a mosquito. WgYAR

“Understood…”

EDITED VERSION!!

Souless: tbh mosquitoes are loud though, all ‘BzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzZZZZZZ’ when you’re trying to sleep 🙁
