No other words were exchanged that night, and on the next morning, Feng Fei got out of bed early and went for a run, conveniently bringing breakfast back. By the time Hai Xiu had woken up and washed up Feng Fei had just come back. Feng Fei gave Hai Xiu 2 bags of breakfast and went upstairs to take a shower. When he came out Hai Xiu had already put the breakfast and some fruit on the table and was sitting at the table waiting for him.
Feng Fei dried the water droplets on his neck and said, âWhy are you waiting for me? Itâll be cold soon, eat quickly.â

Feng Fei had already said these words more than once, but as long as the two of them were eating together and he wasnât there, Hai Xiu would definitely not move his chopsticks and would wait for him, no matter how hungry he was.
How could he be so lucky to find such a treasure.

Although this treasure would occasionally pit himâŚ
Feng Fei thought of last nightâs matter and felt that his teeth were still itchy. He really wanted to do this and that to Hai Xiu.

Feng Fei ate very quickly and finished the food in front of him within minutes. And while Hai Xiu still hadnât finished eating he grabbed a container and packed their leftover fruit. He grabbed another container and put the newly bought brownie cake in it before putting both of the containers in his backpack. Waiting for the longer break between classes to give them to Hai Xiu.
When Feng Fei was done packing, Hai Xiu was also done eating. Feng Fei put the dishes into the dishwasher and they both changed together before grabbing their backpacks and heading to school.
They walked to school and they happened to meet He Hao near the school entrance. He Hao saw the 2 people from far away and wanted to walk away pretending that he didnât see them. But he didnât expect that Feng Fei would see him immediately and directly call out his name repeatedly. He Hao had to stop and impatiently wait for the two to walk together.
Feng Fei saw that He Hao had an unhappy expression and laughed âWhatâs wrong? Deaf? I shouted like that previously and you couldnât hear me?â

He Hao was too lazy to speak and nodded to Hai Xiu as a hello and asked Feng Fei âHave you heard? The date of our holiday has been sent out.â

Feng Fei wasnât that enthusiastic âHow many days? I heard that the previous graduating class only got 5 days.â
Speaking of this He Hao slightly smiled and shook his head âI donât know who it is, but they reported the school in advance. Our school is a gifted school (T/N: 99% test in 1% buys their way in) so the upper management is checking strictly and the school doesnât dare to give make-up classes. The rest of the classes have their normal holiday and us 3rd years also get half a month off.â
Feng Fei first looked at Hai Xiu and saw that his eyes had also lit up before hurriedly asking, âWhich day does it start?â
3KJphW
âIt starts on the small year (normally around 1 week before the Lunar New Year) and school starts again on the 8th day of that monthâ. He Hao calculated before satisfactorily saying âIsnât it exactly half a month?â
Feng Fei looked towards Hai Xiu âWhenâs our momâs holiday?â.
Hai Xiu quickly responded âItâs a normal holiday, starting on the afternoon of the 30thâ
Feng Feiâs smile gradually widened âThe previous year your family didnât gather right?â

âEn.â Hai Xiu knew what Feng Fei was thinking. In front of He Hao he was very embarrassed but couldnât help being happy âThe previous yearâŚâŚ my mom had to work.â

Feng Fei gave Hai Xiu an unscrupulous look and Hai Xiu lowered his head stepping on the snow and not saying anything. He Hao froze for 2 seconds before understanding why the two were so happy and rolled his eyes pretending he was air.
Hai Xiu couldnât make up his mind and honestly said âYouâŚ. whatever you want to do weâll do.â
The three entered the school gate, and He Hao said coldly: âThe captain said that he was coming back in a few days and said in the group chat that he would treat us to some grilled fish. Remember to spare a day.â

Feng Fei froze for a second before suddenly remembering last night, when Hai Xiu talked about the party invitation that he had rejected for Feng Fei.

Feng Fei asked âWho else is coming?â
He Hao was confused.
âWho else? Itâll just be our school team, the captain and his girlfriend, and maybe the girlfriends of other team members. Why are you asking?â
Feng Fei confirmed just in case.

âWill Shao Yueying from the neighboring class be there?â
Haixiu immediately perked up and also looked at He Hao, who frowned
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
âWhy would she come?â
Feng Fei but down his worries, and said
DupfEt
âItâs fine. As long as she doesnât come then itâs fineâ. Feng Fei turned his head and looked at Hai Xiu, asking âDo you like to eat grilled fish?â
As long as Haixiu could be with Feng Fei, he really didnât care what they did or what they ate, so he nodded his head.
âI like itâ.
âI knew you would like it! The people who like to eat fish are all smartâ. Feng Fei suddenly thought of something and laughed, asking another question. âCan you debone a fish?â
b6GLFI
Haixiu reluctantly admitted,
If you're reading this, this translation is stolen. Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden.com
âNot really. When I was little my mom would always debone the fish before she gave it to me, and didnât let me do it myself, so I never really learned how to do itâŚâ
Feng Fei gave a humble smile.
âI can debone a fish pretty well⌠really! Ever since I was little Iâve never let anyone debone my fish for me, and Iâve never eaten a fish boneâ.Â
gZOUmq
Before Haixiu could praise Feng Fei, He Hao, the third wheel, couldnât bear it anymore.
âMotherfucking⌠At this age, you can still brag about eating a fish without eating a fishbone? Youâre sick!âÂ
Feng Fei pushed open the back door of the classroom, calmly stating,
âThe people who can eat a fish all have flexible tonguesâ Feng Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at Haixiu. âRight, Haixiu?â
5Axd9S
Haixiu was stunned, and tried to stop his face from turning red whilst dashing over to his seat. The corners of Feng Feiâs mouth rose into a grin. Seeing this, He Hao instantly understood the meaning of âFlexible tongueâ, and couldnât hold back his roar.
âDonât you dare fucking call out to me if you ever see me again!â
Half the people in the class turned to look at He Hao, making Feng Fei cackle loudly. He patted He Haoâs shoulder and went over to his own seat.
Feng Fei sighed as he gathered up all the homework that had to be turned in today.

âHe Hao really is too easily excited, I didnât even say anything and he explodedâ.
Haixiuâs face was hot and emitting fumes as he kept his head down as low as possible and kept silent. Feng Fei poked him a couple times with his elbow, asking, âWeâre going to go eat grilled fish together, alright?â Haixiu was speechless, nodding his head to show that he heard, but Feng Fei wouldnât give up. âThere are no problems, right? Then Iâll tell the captain and the team weâll be there. We all know each other anyways, so weâll just go over and play around for a bitâ. Haixiu continued to nod his head, so Feng Fei scooted closer to him and smiled. âIf youâre afraid to accidentally eat a fishbone, I can help you practice when we get home, okay?â (T/N âpeople who can eat fish well have flexible tonguesâ, so by kissing, you can practice your tongue skills and therefore get better at deboning and eating fish)
Haixiu was furious, glaring at Feng Fei with a red face, while the person in question smiled and apologized. âOkay, okay! I wonât say anything anymore. I didnât mean to say it in front of He Hao⌠it just coincidentally happened at the wrong time! Next time I wonât tease you in front of other people, okay?â Haixiu was very easily coaxed, and his anger immediately dissipated.

Feng Fei continued to discuss with Haixiu what to do for the week before the new years when a classmate called out Haixiuâs name, saying Ni Meilin (T/N a teacher) asked him to go to the teacherâs office.
rGvXd2
âReportingâ. Haixiu pushed open the door of the office. Other than Ni Meilin, there was nobody else there. He questioningly asked âTeacher Ni?â
âCome inâ. Ni Meilin put down the pen in her hand, and looked at Haixiu. âI have something I need to notify you aboutâ. Haixiu walked inside, and Ni Meilin continued. âItâs like this. This matter hasnât been made official yet, but it should have spread amongst the students. Our graduating class is basically not going to have anymore make-up classes, so the winter break will be half a month longâ.
Haixiu nodded.
âIâve heard of this matterâ.
0PUA8I
âAccording to the rules, we should be on break, but many schools in the countryside or in developmental zones⌠in the areas where regulation is loose, everybody is still taking supplemental classesâ Ni Meilin euphemistically said, âIf everyone else is still taking classes, and only we donât take classes, then wonât we fall behind all the other schools by a step?â
Haixiu didnât quite understand the teacherâs words, only knowing to give a stunned nod.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
âThatâs correctâŚâ
âAnd so, our school leaders have decided to set up a small class, targeted specifically to students like you. We will rent a place close to the school to let you all take supplementary lessons. The teachers are all the most qualified ones in your grade, and the number of students allowed to attend are not many, only around thirty from your whole grade. If we allowed anymore, weâre afraid we would be discovered. The class times are the same as usualâ. Ni Meilin looked at Haixiu. âWeâre only holding the lessons for the week before the new year, there should be no problem, right?â
BvSayF
Haixiu was struck dumb, and cautiously asked,
âCan I⌠not go?âÂ
Ni Meilin looked at Haixiu in confusion.
âWhy?â Haixiu pursed his lips, mumbling,
omJtsp
âI just⌠donât really want to goâ.

âHaixiu, you are the top student in your grade right now. All the school leaders know youâ. Ni Meilin actually didnât like this kind of preferential treatment and bias either, but the school leaders gave him instructions, so he tried his best to persuade Haixiu. âIf you donât go, the school leaders of your grade will definitely notice. In actuality, all schools have this kind of supplementary lesson, and you donât have to bear any moral burden. The teachers were all notified individually, so as long as you guys donât say anything, the other students wonât know. No tuition fees will be charged either, so itâs all for your sake that weâre doing thisâ.
âThank you, teacher NiâŚâ Haixiu couldnât bear to completely disregard Ni Meilinâs good intentions, but he still refused. âI really donât want to go, I⌠I will also read my textbooks very diligently at homeâ.
Ni Meilin didnât expect that Haixiu would be this resistant to this matter. She raised her eyebrows, but the moment she wanted to say more, she spotted the light red bite marks on Haixiuâs neck. She instantly forgot what she was about to say.Â
5 CAOP
Haixiu obviously didnât realize that Ni Meilin had noticed the marks, so she quickly schooled her expression. Ni Meilin sobered up her expression in an instant, lowering her head and flipping through her lesson plan. She paused, then let her voice become more strict.
â This is the schoolâs arrangement. Although they didnât say it was mandatory, it also wasnât said that you could reject it. This was just how they decided itâ.
Haixiu still wanted to say more, but Ni Meilin cut him off. âHaixiu, the school has both high expectations and good intentions for you, so donât disappoint them. Also, donât tell the other students about this matter, because it will make things difficult for me and the rest of the school. You can leave nowâ. After saying this, she would not listen to what Haixiu said anymore, and sent him off on his way. After Haixiu left, Ni Meilin put down the lesson plan that she hadnât read a single word of, and leaned back against her chair, her brows furrowed.
Not even ten minutes later, Feng Fei hurried up the stairs and knocked on the office door, as Ni Meilin had expected. She took a deep breath and spoke.
