The so-called traces were just an extra pair of toothbrushes in the bathroom, a razor in an inconspicuous part of the bathroom, a watch that was accidentally dropped off the side of Hai Xiu’s bed, and a few extra and unfamiliar boys’ clothes in Hai Xiu’s drawers.
If Jiang Yuman hadn’t been so busy these days, she might have discovered something. Feng Fei knew this. Even so, he didn’t bother trying his hardest to erase all his traces. He didn’t mind giving Jiang Yuman a hint before coming out. VuGZ1c
The most important reason why he didn’t clean up all the evidence was probably that the beast inside him was influencing him. He enjoyed leaving a trace of himself in Hai Xiu’s house. If Jiang Yuman hadn’t also lived in this house, he would have done much more.
“Don’t…” Hai Xiu pushed Feng Fei and whispered, “We have to leave in a while, and you only wrote three essays….”
This morning, Feng Fei and Hai Xiu woke up an hour early to study, as usual. While Hai Xiu answered multiple choice questions, Feng Fei silently wrote essays. It’d been almost an hour since they’d started. Here, Hai Xiu’s questions were almost done, but Feng Fei’s essays had not yet been completed. Hai Xiu asked him to write faster, but not only did he not finish it, but he instead pressed Hai Xiu onto the sofa.
“Why don’t you offer me a reward for finishing my essays?” Feng Fei kissed Hai Xiu’s lips and smiled, “I haven’t kissed you on this sofa yet, leave a mark….” CDsFpZ
Hai Xiu blushed. Feng Fei used this exact reason last night to kabedon him on the French window in the living room, and he even kissed him for a long time!
The curtains weren’t closed at the time, and although the scene in the living room couldn’t be seen from the outside, he still felt embarrassed. Hai Xiu helplessly said, “You…that’s….”
Shamelessly, Feng Fei said,
“I’m just a male dog in a rut. Didn’t you already know this a long time ago?” lg5KP4
Hai Xiu couldn’t bear to say anything bad to Feng Fei. He angrily said, 
“Stop messing around…You’re still missing two essays, so you’ll have to make up for them during the school break.”
“Okay, okay.” Feng Fei listened to whatever Hai Xiu said. He rubbed Hai Xiu’s forehead and suggested, “Let’s clean up our stuff and go?”
Hai Xiu nodded. Thinking about his cuteness, Feng Fei kissed his lips again, and then got up to pack his clothes. Hai Xiu saw that he had put all the clothes he brought for the previous two days into his bag, and asked tentatively,  IJweou
“You…won’t come back home tonight?”
Feng Fei smiled ambiguously. 
“What’s the matter? Reluctant for me to leave?”
Hai Xiu said helplessly, “I’m not asking it romantically….” 3QLKAa
“You silly, my mother is leaving tomorrow.” Feng Fei rubbed Hai Xiu’s head. “I won’t be here tonight, but I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”
Hai Xiu blinked.

“I thought your mother was going to accompany you to the college entrance examination…It’s almost here.”

Hai Xiu thought this made sense, but he was afraid that Feng Fei was only pretending to not care, and so comforted, 
“My mother also never had much time to accompany me. I’ve gotten used to it a long time ago. It’s actually not that bad.”
“Of course it’s good! If your mother was at home, how could you still bring your boyfriend back home so blatantly?” Feng Fei only said a couple words before he started bringing the topic crooked again. “If you’d taken me back to your house when you were younger, then I…”
Hai Xiu quickly covered Feng Fei’s mouth and dragged him downstairs to go to school. n7xoOR
As the day of the college entrance examination approached, the school’s supervision didn’t relax at all. They still weren’t allowed to be late or leave early, and unless they had some sort of external circumstances, students weren’t allowed to skip any days either. The school worked hard to keep the candidates in a stable state, making sure that everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
During their break, the cooking aunt brought today’s extra meal–a box of strawberries.
Strawberry was Hai Xiu’s favorite fruit, so Feng Fei didn’t eat his portion and passed his share to Hai Xiu.
Hai Xiu didn’t refuse to take them, but then fed the strawberries back to Feng Fei one by one while he was working on practice questions. z3tpNF
Feng Fei was working on the last free response question intently, and didn’t want to interrupt his thoughts. As he worked on the question, he smiled and playfully threatened Hai Xiu. “Try giving me another one and you’ll see what I’ll do.”
Hai Xiu was not afraid of his threat, chose the biggest and reddest strawberry, and passed it to Feng Fei’s mouth.
Feng Fei ignored him. When the strawberry blocked his sight, he turned his head away from the fruit, and continued to write neatly. When he had finished one part of the problem, Hai Xiu urged him, 
“Hurry up and eat, this strawberry is the biggest one. I can’t bear to eat it….” NfcLqp
The corner of Feng Fei’s mouth rose. His eyes were still on the test paper, but he lowered his head and took the strawberry from Hai Xiu’s hand into his mouth.
The sweet fragrance of the strawberry diffused between Feng Fei’s lips and teeth, and there was a little smile in Feng Fei’s eyes.
Hai Xiu was pleased with Feng Fei’s acceptance of the strawberry, so he picked another one, fed it to Feng Fei, and urged again, “Now this one is the biggest…hurry up and eat it.”
Feng Fei couldn’t help but laugh. He was reluctant to brush away Hai Xiu’s kindness, and so he bowed his head and ate the strawberries one by one. E0roZk
After finishing the free response problem, the whole paper seemed to have been sweetened.
Feng Fei was done with the question, and the strawberries were similarly finished. Hai Xiu wiped his hands clean, took the answer paper and read it carefully. He pointed out a few innocuous small problems, and said, “You got nothing else wrong… just don’t always skip these steps. If this year’s questions are easy, the scoring will also be much stricter, and sometimes you might lose points for not showing them.”

Hai Xiu’s points had been picked at for several months now, and a lot of small points like this had been deducted. The only advantage to it was that he now knew how to solve the problem more rigorously, and not give the examiner a chance to deduct points.
Feng Fei nodded.  BhwFS6
“I’ll listen to your advice then. What else is there?”
“Nothing else. You’re so amazing, this question is pretty complicated.” Hai Xiu said sincerely, “You’ve made great progress.”
“You should also give credit to the person who taught me then.” Feng Fei hummed triumphantly. He glanced at the two empty strawberry boxes, “Did you feed me both boxes?”
Hai Xiu shook his head hurriedly.  XizAUR
“I ate some too.”
But the sweetest and biggest ones were fed to Feng Fei.
Feng Fei got up and walked to the back door of the classroom while stretching his neck. He went out to the back door and closed it, then walked to the front door of the classroom. After confirming that the corridor was empty, he entered the classroom through the front door, locked it from the inside, and walked back to his seat. Pulling over Hai Xiu, he lowered his head and kissed Hai Xiu’s mouth that had slightly opened from shock.
Hai Xiu’s eyes widened with fright, and his body trembled a little. Seeing him like this, Feng Fei’s mischievous heart was set alight, and decided to kiss him deeply. ULniR4
The classmates who went outside to take their break would be back soon. In the end, Feng Fei didn’t want to take that big of a risk, so he quickly let go of Hai Xiu once he was done, and went to unlock the front and back doors again.
By the time he walked back, Hai Xiu’s face was still red from embarrassment.
“Was it sweet or not?” Feng Fei licked his lips. “Didn’t you like this type of strawberry the most?”
At the moment, Hai Xiu himself felt like a ripe strawberry, shyly burying his head in the textbook. onqj3h
Feng Fei squeezed his ear playfully. “Alright, stop reminiscing and read your textbook.”
Hai Xiu nodded obediently, tried to stop thinking about what had just happened, and read his book seriously.
Their self-study classes became more frequent the closer they were to the day of the exam. The next class period was still self-study. The physics teacher asked Hai Xiu to go to the blackboard to write down the steps to solve the last free response problem, this time, in detail for the students to check their answers. 
At this, Hai Xiu directly took Feng Fei’s paper and copied it. The physics teacher looked at the blackboard, and when Hai Xiu finished writing, he nodded in approval.  QGXNpc
“Yes, students can look at Hai Xiu’s problem-solving steps. The work is very clear, and the details are not too complicated, and very concise.”
Hai Xiu returned to his seat and softly corrected him. “Teacher.. I wasn’t the one who wrote this answer. This copy was Feng Fei’s.”

Everyone, including the physics teacher, laughed and were stunned at this revelation. 
“Not bad, Feng Fei! Not bad!” giIvBL
Feng Fei smiled and continued to work on practice problems.
It was already evening by the time Feng Fei and Hai Xiu came out of the classroom. Feng Fei walked while telling Hai Xiu, 
“Go home and go to bed early. I’ll have packed up my things by tonight and be ready to move back in by tomorrow. Oh! You lost your umbrella last time. Do you have another umbrella at home?”
Hai Xiu wasn’t totally sure. “I should have one…what’s the matter?” UfR2a4
“Forget it, I’ll buy two identical ones today.” Feng Fei explained, “I heard from the teachers that it always rains on the day of the college entrance examination.”
Hai Xiu was pleased to hear this. “I like it when it’s raining, and the air is cool.”
“That’s true.” Feng Fei nodded, “Don’t bother wasting time trying to look for it at home. I’ll buy it today on my way back. Let’s go back now.”
Feng Fei stopped a taxi for Hai Xiu and whispered in his ear before the car stopped, “I left my shirt under your pillow. If you want to wear it at night, feel free.” 2GnZ3C
Hai Xiu blushed and nodded as he got into the taxi.
Feng Fei watched Hai Xiu’s taxi drive away before he finally turned around and went home.
In Feng Fei’s house, Lu Haoli had prepared a table full of dishes. As soon as Feng Fei walked in, he smelled the aroma of food. He took off his shoes and jacket, exclaiming, “It’s great how pregnant women are treated.”
Lu Haoli smiled and urged,  Jc0lpu
“Hurry up and wash your hands.”
Lu Haoli would be leaving tomorrow. After saying the usual “Pay attention to work and rest, don’t get too stressed, sleep early”, she also said that during the college entrance examination days, she would find a driver to pick up Feng Fei and send him to school. Feng Fei, in a hurry, said, 
“Don’t worry, my brother can just send me off.”
Lu Haoli smiled and said, “Do you really have to trouble your brother?” DGCSmt
Feng Fei frowned a bit. “What’s wrong with troubling him?”
Lu Haoli hurriedly coaxed him. “Alright alright, he’ll go and personally send you off.”
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
Feng Fei was satisfied with this. He and Hai Xiu were in the same test site, so to have Feng Xuan send them would be the most suitable.
“One more thing…” Lu Haoli put some food in Feng Fei’s bowl, and smiled. “I’ve been thinking over the past few days, and your father also called and talked to me for a bit. Your elder brother and your sister-in-law also persuaded me, and so I thought about it some more.” 2Kehdc
Lu Haoli sighed and smiled. “Mom doesn’t care about your love partner, as long as you’re happy… In fact, your grandpa and grandma didn’t like your dad at the beginning either, thinking that their family was too big, and the relationships between them were too complicated, but now look…compared with all your aunts, it’s my relationship with your father that’s the best.”
Lu Haoli let go of her worries once and for all. “Your father was right, the person you picked will definitely not be too bad, don’t blame me for being too picky…you stay here by yourself, and I haven’t always felt totally relieved. I’m always afraid that you will be led astray by someone.”
Feng Fei asked, “Then it’s okay as long as they don’t lead me onto the wrong path?”
Lu Haoli nodded and smiled. “As long as they don’t lead you onto the wrong path.” D0H9nd
Feng Fei served Lu Haoli extra vegetables. 
“Then don’t worry, when things have calmed down over here, I will bring him to see you.”
When Lu Haoli thought about Feng Feig bringing a girl with an explosive haircut, exaggerated makeup, and tattoos to see her, her head still hurt. She kept comforting herself inside. Maybe the girl had a good heart? She hoped so.
In order not to be too frustrated in the future, her current requirements were already very low. L5erZj
Feng Fei smiled and promised. “It’s definitely better than you think.”
