The strange feeling that came when a certain part was touched didn’t dissipate when the contact ended. Lin Feiran clenched his fists and used the pain from his nails digging into his palms to expel the insane thought of “it felt kind of good” from his mind. He tightened his grip on the small blanket around him, commenting quietly, “My temper’s too good… If I were anyone else, the grass on your grave would be three meters tall already.”
As he said that, Lin Feiran turned his head and stared at Gu Kaifeng in an aggrieved manner, “Won’t you thank your dorm mate for his leniency?”
Gu Kaifeng responded seriously, “I’ll thank you with my body?”
Lin Feiran swelled with anger, his butt hitting the bed frame as he turned with the blankets still wrapped firmly around himself. Facing Gu Kaifeng, he solemnly said,“Don’t do things like that again. If it is just talking… I can forgive it, but don’t touch me anymore.”
Gu Kaifeng rubbed his fingers together to recall that wonderful touch, and then asked, “What if I do it again?”
With a straight face, Lin Feiran threatened in a crisp manner, “Then I’ll have to resort to violence.”
Gu Kaifeng thought of Lin Feiran’s delicate white hands, and asked teasingly, “Have you fought before?”
Lin Feiran looked away then responded guiltily, “Of course I have.”
Gu Kaifeng saw through him but decided not to call him out, so he responded with an affectionate hum of agreement.
Lin Feiran saw that Gu Kaifeng didn’t question him and added oil and vinegar, giving himself the backstory of a delinquent. He widened his eyes to seem threatening but ended up glaring cutely at Gu Kaifeng. Lowering his tone to give it a hint of menace, he said, “I was a bad kid in middle school, always getting into fights with others and skipping classes. The teachers couldn’t do anything, but now I’ve changed… You don’t want to make me angry.”
Your older brother Ran is savage and cruel, he isn’t someone you can just push around!
Don’t be misled by Bro Ran’s cute, handsome, and elegant appearance!
Gu Kaifeng nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, as if he were truly afraid of Lin Feiran, and said earnestly, “Okay, I know now.”
Actually, the one who was a delinquent in middle school was Gu Kaifeng. At that time, his parents were busy with work and didn’t have much time to discipline him. Moreover, they felt that they were bad parents and owed him, so they gave him an extravagant allowance. Therefore, Gu Kaifeng’s character became arrogant and impetuous during that period.
When it was time for his parents to choose a high school, they believed that a boarding school would control of all aspects of a student’s life. Even after school, the students couldn’t go do anything they wanted, so Gu Kaifeng wouldn’t be able to do anything out of the ordinary. Furthermore, his parents felt that they could sharpen their child’s character by starting his independent life earlier, so off they sent Gu Kaifeng.
In the last year, there had been a lot of improvement in Gu Kaifeng’s behavior. What’s more, after he found someone he liked, he became more and more gentle, practically becoming another person compared to what he was like in middle school.
Gu Kaifeng, who had really turned over a new leaf, pretended to be sincere as he said, “I won’t randomly touch you anymore.”
Bro Ran, the phony who had turned over a new leaf, nodded his head with dignity before putting the covers down and uncomfortably straightening his clothes. He lowered his head and continued to work on his math questions.
The fever medicine kicked in and Gu Kaifeng’s body temperature lowered slightly, making him feel much more comfortable. He pulled the blankets over his shoulders so he could sit beside Lin Feiran at the bedside, and began to do his homework. They focused on their work until ten o’clock when Lin Feiran closed his book with a soft thump and stretched lazily, saying, “I’m done.”
Gu Kaifeng’s condition still wasn’t that good and he had been writing slowly, so he still hadn’t finished most of his chemistry homework. He didn’t want to continue working on it so he took Lin Feiran’s homework and started copying it. As he did, he commented, “RanRan, there’s something I really can’t understand.”
Lin Feiran became vigilant, “Hm?”
Such as, why did you suddenly fall for me?
Gu Kaifeng looked at Lin Feiran’s notebook and the hieroglyphic-like words and equations on it, and laughed lightly, “You have such beautiful hands, how is it that your handwriting is like this?”
The question struck a nerve in Lin Feiran. His face turned red and he muttered, “I just… haven’t practiced very much… “
Gu Kaifeng’s lips curved and he lightly kissed Lin Feiran’s book, saying, “It’s so ugly it’s cute.”
Lin Feiran was shocked. “You’re not even letting my book off!”
Actually insane!
“After today, your hubby will use his hands to teach you how to write nicely,” Gu Kaifeng said, “and you’ll use your mouth to teach me how to sing nicely.”
Lin Feiran rolled his eyes. “If you’re tone deaf you’ll never be able to sing well. Your tune is so off-key, it’s broken through the heavens and even the gods can’t help you.”
Gu Kaifeng leisurely said, “Actually, the main vocabulary in that sentence was ‘hubby’, ‘using hands’ and ‘using mouth’.”
Lin Feiran, who was already used to the teasing: “……”
Dammit, I didn’t refute him!? What am I even thinking?
Lin Feiran was so embarrassed that he got angry and decided to use violence and he pinched Gu Kaifeng as hard as he could.
It could be said that he was being really bad!
After doing that, Bro Ran picked up the washbasin and escaped to the bathroom. He washed his hands in a gold basin, then washed his face and brushed his teeth.
Gu Kaifeng recovered from his cold as fast as he fell sick. After taking his medicine, he slept blissfully while hugging Lin Feiran. The next morning, he was a lively dragon and animated tiger.
Even the part that was pressed up against Lin Feiran’s buttocks was feeling lively!
When Lin Feiran woke up and opened his eyes, he froze for a moment then yelped and jumped up while covering his butt.
Since the day he was confessed to and forcibly kissed, he really didn’t want to sleep on the same bed as Gu Kaifeng. However, he soon realised that the choice was no longer his to make. When faced with the overwhelming imbalance of their power, the only choice he could make was “whether he should face Gu Kaifeng or turn his back to him while sleeping together.” There were no other choices; he didn’t dare risk having a falling out with him by getting angry…
Lin Feiran pointed at Gu Kaifeng, who was feigning innocence, in a rage. “If you dare to poke my butt with that thing again, I’ll break you!” As he said that, he made a vicious snapping motion with his hands, making a sound effect to go with it, “Kacha!”
“Baby, you can break it.” Gu Kaifeng grabbed Lin Feiran’s wrist and dragged his hand downwards, teaching him, “The first step to snapping something is to use both hands and hold it tightly…”
“I don’t wanna!” Lin Feiran was like a startled rabbit as he jumped off the bed, darting out of the room with bed head to go wash up.
He couldn’t even do the first step, so disappointing!
After washing up and feeding the kittens, the two had breakfast and went early to their self-study period.
Next Tuesday was mid-term exams, and since there was a lot that had happened in the past month that had caused Lin Feiran to be a little scattered, if he didn’t work harder his grades would probably drop by 80%. Therefore, this week before the exams, Lin Feiran decided to cram. He inventoried his present weaknesses and prepared to improve them individually. Gu Kaifeng also understood that it wasn’t good to tease him during this period of time—even if he didn’t care about his grades, Lin Feiran did. So, he dialed down his teasing a bit.
Soon, it was Saturday again.
Lin Feiran had already chatted online with the people who wanted to adopt the kittens and was preparing to send the little kittens out on Sunday. So, when leaving the dorm for home on Saturday, he would have to take the four little ones with him. Lin Feiran worried that it would not be appropriate to bring them to Gu Kaifeng’s home but just when he was about to ask, Gu Kaifeng got in first, “Baby, how about we go to your house this weekend?”
“Okay,” Lin Feiran immediately agreed. “It’s just that it’s been a while since someone’s stayed there, so I’ll have to tidy up.”
“I’ll be in charge of tidying up.” Gu Kaifeng pet one of the kittens in the cardboard box and said, “If I just went back like this, Mom and Dad would probably think that I’m not taking school seriously.”
Lin Feiran thought about it and found that it was logical, so he retrieved his unused keys from his cupboard and took Gu Kaifeng and the four little kittens back home.
Lin Feiran’s family lived in a high-rise next to the river. Lin Feiran’s father had hired someone to clean before going abroad so the rooms were neat and tidy despite the thin layer of dust and the slightly musty smell. Lin Feiran pulled slippers out for Gu Kaifeng then opened the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the balcony. The wind blew in from the riverside carrying the scent of water and filling the living room with fresh moist air, dispelling the stale smell.
Lin Feiran breathed in deeply from the balcony, feeling alive. He looked at Gu Kaifeng with shining eyes and waved to beckon him. “Come over here.”
Gu Kaifeng put down the cardboard box with the kittens in it, put the slippers on, and walked in.
“You can see the river from here.” Lin Feiran reached out and pointed to the distant river, “Isn’t it pretty?”
Gu Kaifeng looked at where he was pointing; it was twilight, and the street lamps were just coming on. The river reflected the gentle night sky and became a gem-like dark blue. The lights along the riverbank and from the buildings nearby drew brilliant lines of colour on the water. Gu Kaifeng took in the view for a while, then turned away and looked at Lin Feiran. The youth’s pretty eyes also reflected motes of light, the flecks undulating like waves with the shifting of his gaze.
Gu Kaifeng asked carefully, “Are you cold? Don’t freeze and get sick.”
Lin Feiran shrugged. “A little; let’s go in.”
“We can watch for a while.” Gu Kaifeng hugged Lin Feiran from behind, wrapping his arms around Lin Feiran’s chest and abdomen. He put his chin on Lin Feiran’s shoulder and blew on his ear, asking, “Is it warm?”
“Don’t blow on me…” Lin Feiran’s ears were hot, and he felt weak from the warm breath. Instinctively tilting his head away, he ended up exposing his smooth, white neck to Gu Kaifeng, who quickly used the chance to lower his head and nibble it gently.
Lin Feiran immediately wanted to throw him off the balcony!
“That’s enough!” Lin Feiran turned and put his hand over Gu Kaifeng’s mouth, but ended up getting licked instead.
Lin Feiran shivered and retracted his hand back as quickly as he could, sticking it in his pocket as he rushed back into the living room.
The hooligan Gu is a full 360 degrees pervert! No matter what Lin Feiran did, he would try to take advantage!
“Where’s the bedroom? I’ll tidy it up.” Gu Kaifeng followed him inside, closing the door behind himself. He took off his uniform jacket and rolled up his sleeves.
“That room,” Lin Feiran pointed towards his bedroom. “I’ll go tidy it up; I only need to dust and change the bedsheets.”
Gu Kaifeng took at quick look around the living room and pulled out the bench from underneath the piano. “You don’t have to.”
Lin Feiran protested, “But…”
There’s no such thing as bringing someone home to play only to have the guest work!
Gu Kaifeng poked Lin Feiran’s nose gently and said flirtatiously, “My little young master, do you know how to do those things?”
Lin Feiran replied guiltily, “Of course, I’m quite independent.”
Gu Kaifeng tutted at him and smiled. “The last time you tried to change the bedsheets in the dorm it took you more than 10 minutes and you ended up cursing at everyone as you did it, don’t you remember?”
Gu Kaifeng was referring to when Lin Feiran had just transferred to the school.
Lin Feiran was silent for a moment, then asked, “…you weren’t asleep that night?”
Gu Kaifeng was serene as he responded, “I wanted to, but I couldn’t, then I heard you fighting with the bedsheets.”
Lin Feiran’s face turned red and he voiced his grievances. “I had finally managed to get the sheets on the mattress after a long time, then when I checked, I found I’d mixed up the length and the width. I really wanted to hit someone then.”
“From now on, I’ll do all of it. How could your pretty hands do that kind of work?” Gu Kaifeng immediately took this as a window to show his devotion, and dusted off the piano bench with a tissue. “You can be responsible for playing the piano and singing for me.”
Lin Feiran’s heart felt warm, so he obediently sat down and asked, “Do you want to listen to something specific, or should I just play casually?”
Yes, the proud and arrogant Young Master Lin was won over by the simple task of changing the bedsheets…
Gu Kaifeng answered, “Play whatever you want.”
Lin Feiran nodded, but stood up again after playing two notes. As he dug around in the drawer next to the piano for a pair of nail clippers, he explained, “I have to cut my nails first.”
When you play the piano, the length of your nails is very important. If your nails aren’t short enough, your fingertips tend to slip on the keys, making playing difficult.
Gu Kaifeng grabbed the nail clippers from Lin Feiran before pressing on his shoulders to get him to sit back down on the bench. Then, he kneeled down and took Lin Feiran’s right hand, saying gently, “I’ll do it for you.”
Taking advantage of the situation to touch his hands! So quick-witted!
