Feng Fei took a few steps outside and replied, “We’ll be there soon, I just have to ask you something first.”

Feng Fei heard the other side quieting down, which might have been due to He Hao leaving the lounge. Still, He Hao needed to shout, “What’s the problem? Are you asking me if I love you? I’ll tell you now! I! DO NOT! LOVE YOU!!!” Yf 8qG

Feng Fei furrowed his brows as he slightly tilted his phone away from his ears, giving a rather repulsed response, “Are you drunk?”

He Hao gave a rather nonchalant laugh before speaking again, “Nope, I’m just feeling too pumped up! What is it that you wanna ask me?”

Feng Fei asked, “I wanna ask who’s currently attending the get-together? That Ji Yaqi girl isn’t there, right? I’ve already gotten my graduation certificate, but if I see her when I get there, I’m afraid I’ll….”

“She’s not here! Not here at all!” He Hao repeated vehemently. “Who would invite her for no good reason? Don’t you know? Her marks in the Culture course aren’t good, compounded by the fact that her total grades weren’t that good to begin with, now that she wasn’t able to gain any bonus points, it has become even more dangerous for her. Although I don’t know whether or not the rumor that the Culture course is dragging her grades down is true, it sounds quite convincing even though her grades haven’t come out yet.” ZR3Gdb

Feng Fei listened—his facial complexion remained indifferent—while He Hao continued to speak, “I heard that after hearing her predicted grades, her face instantly became pale. Speaking of, that girl has quite the memory! When I went and got my predicted grades, Hai… Don’t even speak about what I chose at the time, I don’t even remember if I’ve done that question or not! Hahahahahahaha…”

Feng Fei laughed along with him and said, “You idiot…(Konou baka!) Fine, I’ll end the call now, see you later.”

He Hao initially voiced his acknowledgement, when he suddenly thought of something and abruptly shouted, “Wait a second! I have something to ask you! That person! What’s her name again? Ah! Shao Yueying! Do you still remember this young lady?”

Feng Fei squinted his eyes in a vigilant manner, replying, “I remember. What about her?” spw MQ

He Hao replied nonchalantly, “She told me to have Hai Xiu to add her on WeChat.”

Feng Fei, “…”

He Hao continued, “The crux of this is, I don’t know Hai Xiu’s number ah. I think the only one who knows his number is you ba. When I met her yesterday evening, she especially exhorted and told me that I must get Hai Xiu to add her. This…what does this mean?”

Feng Fei didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry as he replied, “She’s not coming tonight, right?” ZT3g7t

“No, it’s mostly just our class getting together tonight, including the school team. Nobody else we’re unfamiliar with.” He Hao reiterated while still nonchalant, “So what’s happening here? That WeChat thingy…What’s happening there? Why don’t you let Hai Xiu add her?”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, Hai Xiu is about to come out of the bathroom, I’ll talk to you later.” Feng Fei naturally ignored the WeChat dilemma and directly cut off the phone call.

“Your phone number, have you given it to someone else before?” Feng Fei pulled Hai Xiu down the stairs and asked. “Other than me?”

Hai Xiu gave it a careful thought before replying, “I also gave my number to Teacher Ni when she asked for it at the start of the semester, other than that, I haven’t told anyone else.” yamWT4

Feng Fei couldn’t help but smile, feeling quite satisfied as he nodded in response.

Hai Xiu did not really understand, so he asked, “What is it?”

Hai Xiu’s complexion became slightly flushed. CWo6yf

Feng Fei had originally wanted to buy two pairs of matching lovers’ shoes again, so he has been shopping around since lunch. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find anything suitable for them since Feng Fei was quite picky. He was even harsher when choosing things for Hai Xiu, so it wasn’t surprising that he was not happy with all the shoes that Hai Xiu had tried on.

Of course, this wasn’t the main point. The main point was, when Hai Xiu tried on a pair of sneakers earlier, Feng Fei naturally took over the sales lady’s work. While Hai Xiu was tying the shoelaces on his left shoe, Feng Fei squatted down in a skillful and natural manner and helped Hai Xiu tie the shoelaces on the right shoe.

He seemed to have done such simple actions many times before.

Hai Xiu sat on the short sofa less than 10cm away from Feng Fei. The back of Feng Fei’s hand rubbed against Hai Xiu’s finger, causing the latter’s cheeks to grow red to the point of being too embarrassed to even lift his head up. Only after tying his shoelaces did Feng Fei let him go. cowEJT

Actually, this wasn’t the first time that Feng Fei had helped him tie his shoelaces. Feng Fei spoiled him very much, so it wasn’t like he hadn’t done such intimate little things before, but this was the first time that Feng Fei had done this in a public setting, making Hai Xiu feel cramped to the point of not being able to say anything.

The sales ladies all huddled together as they started to discuss with blushing faces. Hai Xiu had to feign ignorance, his heart feeling nervous yet sweet at the same time.

On the other hand, Feng Fei didn’t seem to care at all. He exuded a rather calm demeanour, acting as though everything was natural.

With Hai Xiu’s mood being fully displayed on his face, he was way too easy to understand. Feng Fei observed his lover and gave a chuckle. “What is it? You don’t wanna go to that shop again?” sAW8oF

Hai Xiu recalled the curious looks of the sales lady and felt slightly distressed as he replied, “I’m…I’m fine.”

“Aren’t you getting shy too easily?” Feng Fei clicked his tongue twice as he continued, “The more you’re like this, the more I want to bully you.”

Hai Xiu whispered back in a light tone, “Then…bully me bei.”

Feng Fei felt a warm feeling spread through his heart, and couldn’t help himself from cherishing the other even more. be9QSL

The two left for the get-together. The lounge that they reserved was on the 12th floor. As the two entered the elevator, Feng Fei asked, “There should be quite a lot of people there, are you…”

Hai Xiu took a light breath and replied in a low tone, “I…I’m fine.”

Hai Xiu continued, “I’m already fine ah.”

Feng Fei gave a chuckle and held the other’s hand as they entered the lounge. 19m7Xq

Since the group booked a presidential suite, the lounge isn’t actually that crowded. As they pushed the door open, their classmates all became quiet within a moment before starting to laugh again. Only the more attentive ones within the group who saw the identical clothes worn by Feng Fei and Hai Xiu became thoughtful.

He Hao gave Feng Fei a fist-bump before stating, “Too slow! I’m giving you a drink as punishment!”

“Punishment! Punishment! Punishment!” The classmates all shouted heartlessly, “There’s also Hai Xiu! Punish him as well!”

Before Hai Xiu could even respond, Feng Fei had already chugged down two glasses of beer, causing several girls to blush. The sports committee leader froze and muttered, “This…You took Hai Xiu’s portion as well? Hai Xiu, he…” aD86Ud

He Hao gave the sports leader’s head a slap before scolding the latter in a joking manner, “He’s almost done!”

Feng Fei pulled Hai Xiu to sit with him. He Hao observed the two’s attire before giving Feng Fei a smile. “What’s going on? Are the two of you coming out?”

Feng Fei raised the corner of his lips as he took a few sips from a glass of iced water and replied lightly, “Not coming out, but not hiding either. Just going with the flow.” Feng Fei’s handsome face looked especially charming under the lounge’s lighting, even He Hao was a little shaken just from looking at him.

He Hao turned his head towards Hai Xiu, wanting to speak with him, but fearing Feng Fei’s dissatisfaction, He Hao tried his best to find another topic, while worrying that Hai Xiu might not like talking to him, scouring his brain before he suddenly had an epiphany and said, “Hai Xiu, do you have WeChat? I have a friend who wants me to mhmmmm!!..” XN1Duc

Feng Fei shoved a slice of watermelon into He Hao’s mouth. The latter used all his might to swallow the watermelon, angrily roaring within his heart, but was too afraid to speak with Hai Xiu again.

Hai Xiu did not react through all this commotion. He blinked a few times and waited, only to see that He Hao no longer intended to speak with him when he turned his sight towards the other.. Feng Fei took a glass of non-alcoholic drink and delivered it to Hai Xiu. Afterwards, Hai Xiu’s friends called for him, so he left again for the other side of the lounge.

Hai Xiu stood alone on one side and took a sip of the fruit juice while observing everyone else play.

On the other side of the lounge, Wang Peng, who had been keenly observing Hai Xiu all this while, went over towards the latter’s side before Hai Xiu could move, getting himself seated right next to Hai Xiu. CARq2U

Wang Peng was Hai Xiu’s deskmate when the latter had just transferred to their school. Before Hai Xiu got to know Feng Fei, Wang Peng was one of those rare students who got along well with Hai Xiu. Throughout the year, Hai Xiu didn’t interact with others much, but they could still be considered as friends.

“You…” Wang Peng began, only to stop speaking mid-sentence when he couldn’t think of anything to say.

Hai Xiu diligently tried to find something to talk about before stating, “How’s your exams? Did you do well?”

Wang Peng chuckled and replied, “Definitely not as well as you, but I didn’t find the exam too exhausting either.” lt2Vad

Hai Xiu felt happy for the other and replied, “That’s good. That means you’ll definitely be accepted to the university you like.” Wang Peng’s grades were only slightly lower than the accepted range of the university he aspired to get into, considering his original grades and the range of uncertainties, if Wang Peng wasn’t that worried, that meant that there wouldn’t be much of a problem with getting accepted.

Wang Peng’s mind didn’t linger on this topic for long before switching to another subject. He stubbornly dragged Hai Xiu along in their conversation, forcing Hai Xiu to become the subject. He looked at Feng Fei who was currently speaking jovially with their classmates not far away before speaking again in a hesitating manner, “You and Feng Fei…”

Wang Peng mustered up the courage and asked, “Are you two in that kind of relationship?”

Hai Xiu’s heart jumped. Thinking of what Feng Fei said just now about not deliberately concealing their relationship, he paused for a moment before lightly nodding his head. CbF180

Wang Peng had already guessed it earlier, but still felt it a little unacceptable when he saw Hai Xiu admit it on his own. He turned his head towards Feng Fei again before lightly speaking with a frown, “Did…did he force you? Did he bully you?”

Hai Xiu vehemently shook his head and countered within an instant, “No! He…” Hai Xiu felt slightly embarrassed as he continued, “He’s been very good to me.”

Wang Peng still couldn’t quite believe it. Since he had been classmates with Feng Fei in junior high, he would often see Feng Fei get called to the principal’s office. He saw that every time Feng Fei left the office, he would still go towards the school entrance and pick a fight again. He had also seen that whenever someone would find trouble, Feng Fei would beat them to the point of not being able to climb back up again. Although Feng Fei had changed this year, this memory was still etched deep within Wang Peng’s heart, making it quite hard for Wang Peng to accept such a change in Feng Fei.

Wang Peng lightly asked again, “Did…did he hit you before?” t1KaZv

Hai Xiu hesitated for a second. The memory of being pressed on his leg and given a few light pats suddenly flashed before his eyes, making his ears turn red subconsciously.

Wang Peng misunderstood Hai Xiu’s response and thought that Hai Xiu was feeling ashamed, so he immediately spoke again, “Did he really hit you? Is he really forcing…”

“No! No! ” Hai Xiu abruptly responded, blurting out the truth. “He really didn’t…He has always had a good temper. Always been good to me. He would never get angry at me. Even when I provoke him, he would never get angry. It’s true!”

Wang Peng felt disbelief when he listened to Hai Xiu’s description…Is that really Feng Fei? J th2N

Hai Xiu continued to speak in a light tone, “He’s actually a really good person. He’s especially kind, takes responsibility very seriously. In short…he’s good in every single aspect.”

Wang Peng’s expression turned complicated, now believing the phrase that ‘love makes people blind’ to be true.

Before Wang Peng could say anything, Hai Xiu reiterated in a serious manner, “Don’t try to slander him anymore. I don’t wanna hear it.” Then, he added, “I know you’re saying this for my own good, but you’ve really misunderstood him. He’s actually…like an angel. ”

Feng Fei is like an angel… dfVkgS

Wang Peng remembered the scene from two years ago, when Feng Fei was pulling on someone’s collar, pulling him from the classroom all the way to the playground. Just remembering that scene made Wang Peng’s face turn green. Yet Hai Xiu’s description made him speechless.

“Do you wanna go to the washroom?”

Not knowing when this had happened, Feng Fei was already standing in front of them before either noticed.

Wang Peng didn’t feel guilty for saying all this to Hai Xiu, yet the latter was afraid that Feng Fei might get angry if he had overheard what he had said earlier. Instantly, he stood up and said, “I’ll go, I’ll go! ” odlZWb

There was a washroom within the lounge. Feng Fei pulled the other person inside, and spoke in a lazy manner as he washed his hands, “What did he say to you just now? ”

Hai Xiu responded with a white lie, “He asked me if I did well on my exams.”

Feng Fei flashed him a glance before stating, “Speak truthfully.”

Hai Xiu knew instantly that he had messed up. Without a filter, he began repeating everything they had said just now—word for word. dCxWmY

Feng Fei gave a rather mirthful laugh as he said, “What was I doing at the time…*sigh* Who hasn’t had a rebellious period when they were young, am I right? In addition, most of the time it was because those people owed me too much, I couldn’t just get over it.”

Hai Xiu widened his eyes, feeling slightly curious as he spoke, “Were you really that fierce before?”

Feng Fei responded with a cold laugh, “I’m still very fierce when facing other people. Are you afraid?”

Hai Xiu shook his head and replied in an embarrassed manner, “Not afraid. you’re never fierce with me.” wtMfCP

“Not afraid?”

Feng Fei raised an eyebrow as he gave Hai Xiu’s shoulder a strong push, roughly forcing the other against the wall.

Hai Xiu was shocked, subconsciously shrinking his shoulders, but the pain did not strike as he had expected…Feng Fei had placed his palm at the back of Hai Xiu’s head. Before Hai Xiu could even respond, Feng Fei had already lowered his head and kissed him.

Hai Xiu’s whole body relaxed instantly. wR41DN

Feng Fei’s kiss was very tender. Hai Xiu imagined what Feng Fei looked like before—when he used to start fights with others, the image itself made his legs turn soft.

Feng Fei’s eyes opened slightly into slits, through the reflection in the mirror, he saw the shadow of a figure flash by outside.

Feng Fei’s eyes flashed a triumphant look.

Wang Peng had originally been worried that Feng Fei might punish Hai Xiu, so he had originally stood by the door. Hearing the two speaking, Wang Peng peaked through the semi-closed door just in time to see Feng Fei press Hai Xiu against the wall in a pampering manner. Heaving a sigh of relief, he thought that he had really been overthinking just now and gave himself a good laugh before returning to the lounge to converse with the others. NcyB0k\n
