After going to the canteen and quickly eating his food, Lin Feiran returned to the classroom. He wanted to concentrate on finishing his homework so he could relax when he returned to the dorm room at night.
After self-study class, students were given a long break in order to eat dinner. After the break, it’s time for evening self-study until 8 pm.
Returning to his seat, Lin Feiran opened his math practice book. Just after he completed two questions, he saw Gu Kaifeng entering the classroom, carrying a stack of papers. Seems like a teacher caught him in the corridor and asked him to deliver the papers.
Gu Kaifeng gave out the essay papers one by one without any expression on his handsome face. Lin Feiran looked around and saw that it was an essay paper that the literature teacher assigned a few days ago.
Lin Feiran pursed his lips, nervously keeping a close eye to Gu Kaifeng, who’s only 1 meter away from him.
After returning the paper to the student in front of Lin Feiran, Gu Kaifeng’s sight fell on the next paper in his hands. The hand holding the corner of the paper paused, his eyes stopping at the paper for at least three seconds. Then, one side of Gu Kaifeng’s lips raised slightly – the smile looked a little mocking somehow.
Lin Feiran’s heart thumped repeatedly.
Gu Kaifeng held back his smile, earnestly putting the essay paper in front of Lin Feiran. Then, he turned his head and gave the remaining papers to other students.
“......” Lin Feiran looked at the burning red “15” mark in front of him, as well as the literature teacher’s comment: “Straying off topic.” These three bold words were written on the back of the paper and penetrated through the pages. His two ears became red.
Not to mention his tadpole-like squiggly handwriting......
Literature essays were Lin Feiran’s sore point, but he was pretty good with other subjects. The parts that needed to be memorized mechanically in literature, he could remember it perfectly. Lin Feiran could grasp the parts that needed hard work to go through, but since he was little till now he was always bad with writing essays, and his handwriting still looked atrocious. Filling out eight hundred little squares was like peeling a layer off of his skin. Every time he wrote, he would always painstakingly use a lot of punctuation marks to boost up his character count. This semester he was already a sophomore in high school, but it could be said that his essays were still at an elementary school level.
Why did Gu Kaifeng have to see this!
Staring at the essay paper for at least three seconds, who would believe that Gu Kaifeng didn’t do it on purpose!
At this time, the main culprit, Gu Kaifeng, was currently standing in front of the white board located to the right of the classroom door. With an expressionless face, he used the magnetic pin to stick an essay paper to the whiteboard. Gu Kaifeng wrote calligraphy beautifully and his literary talent was also outstanding. Thus, his essays were often displayed by the teacher on the whiteboard as model essays; this was clearly something that the literature teacher made him do.
Gu Kaifeng gave him a look, not saying anything.
Lin Feiran took the opportunity and said with a small voice: “You’re blocking the door”.
Gu Kaifeng raised his eyebrows; not only did he not get mad, on the contrary, he showed a mocking smile. For the first time in three days, he talked to Lin Feiran. Enunciating clearly, he recited: “Today, the weather was clear; there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, fluffy white clouds...”
The classmates sitting on the first and second row heard it and started to giggle.
Lin Feiran’s face turned green: “......You!”
This asshole!
Gu Kaifeng stopped. Using his fingers, he lazily rapped his essay displayed on the whiteboard before placing his hands in his pockets and returning to his seat in the last row.
Lin Feiran hated it; he simply wanted to lunge across the room and bite him to death.
To show that he was not purposely looking for trouble, Lin Feiran walked out the door, went to the men’s bathroom and turned around to return to the classroom. He sat in the third last row, separated diagonally only by an aisle with Gu Kaifeng. When he was walking back to his seat, Gu Kaifeng, who sat in the last row, raised his chin slightly, folded his hands, and looked at Lin Feiran with an expressionless face. A long leg stretched out, as if wanting to stretch it arrogantly from the last row all the way to the third last row, straight through the aisle. On that foot, he wore a limited-edition Nike basketball sneaker, the one that Lin Feiran coveted for a long time, yet continuously couldn’t obtain.
Precious limited-edition shoes are like this: even if you have money, you can’t always get to buy them. If you have no money then you definitely won’t be able to buy them.
Lin Feiran angrily stared at Gu Kaifeng. Gu Kaifeng raised his eyebrows innocently, then following Lin Feiran’s gaze, he looked down. His sights fell to the shoes on his feet.
Lin Feiran: “......”
Gu Kaifeng deliberately swayed his feet, successfully provoking Lin Feiran. He joyfully looked at Lin Feiran’s resentful figure retreating. Lin Feiran sat down in an imposing manner and broke the chair with a loud bang!
At this time, the night self-study bell rang. Gu Kaifeng laughed, spread out the exam paper, looked down and started working on it.
Lin Feiran still continued on the math practice book he was previously working on. His face already looked calm, but inside he was very flustered.
High school students usually need to wear the school uniform in school. The only few things that can make them look different are shoes and watches. Lin Feiran couldn’t afford expensive watches, so his hobby was to save his pocket money to collect nice sneakers. When transferring to the boarding school, Lin Feiran had a special suitcase for his sneakers. Inside, there were six pairs of expensive, awesome-looking model shoes.
On the first day of his new school life, Lin Feiran wore his favourite pair: Nike GALAXY Big Bang. Full of confidence, he prepared to greet his new roommate’s admiring gaze. He mentally repeated the line that he already prepared : “I bought the shoes on eBay”. Just like in the past, when the other party ask about the price he would calmly answer with this line, a little pretentiously: “Not expensive, just a little bit more than nine thousand, but not as much as ten thousand”.
That’s right, he’s exactly like this – an incredibly vain boy!
Also very capable of acting!
Lin Feiran wore the sneakers well. Gu Kaifeng just came back from the water room when his sights fell on Lin Feiran’s sneakers.
The conceited classmate Lin aroused all the cells in his body, preparing to start the act!
However, Gu Kaifeng’s expression did not waver a little bit. He only looked for less than a second before he moved his eyes, as if it was a one-hundred-yuan pair of common sneakers you can see on the street.
Lin Feiran: “......”
This brother – it couldn’t be that he didn’t recognise the Galaxy Big Bang from the start, ba?
Gu Kaifeng put the water basin in the shelf. He silently opened the big three-shelf shoe cabinet laying at the corner of the room; that shoe cabinet had at least twenty pairs of sneakers. In a split-second glance, Lin Feiran could see some pairs of limited-edition sneakers that even he did not have – they were ridiculously expensive! Among them was the pair that he currently wore, the Galaxy Big Bang.
Lin Feiran also didn’t look closely when he came to the dormitory last night. How could he know that his roommate would surprisingly build himself a special shoe cabinet? Although he did not really do anything, he could not help but feel the pain of a villain who just got slapped by the main character.
Gu Kaifeng stood in front of the shoe cabinet for a moment and took out a pair of shoes, a different one from the one that Lin Feiran wore.
This whole time, Gu Kaifeng actually didn’t seem to glaringly flaunt his collection in any way. He merely opened the cabinet, picked up the sneakers, and wore them. That’s all. Furthermore, he also carefully avoided picking the same sneakers as Lin Feiran. But the fact that he owned more than twenty pairs of limited-edition basketball sneakers was enough to stab Lin Feiran’s petty little heart. Basically, he didn’t even need to show off anything.
When Gu Kaifeng wasn’t paying attention, Lin Feiran dejectedly put the remaining five pairs of shoes under the bed. His cheeks were red as he pulled himself out from the under the bed, it was extremely embarrassing.
Afterwards, Lin Feiran gradually started hearing about Gu Kaifeng’s various achievements from his classmates. For the most part, it was about how outstanding he was and how much of a reserved male god he was. Hearing about this made him feel wronged. In his last school, his classmates would talk about Lin Feiran during breaks, but now he and his classmates gossiped about somebody else instead. The gap in between was too big and the fact that his protagonist halo was snatched fermented in his heart. It got out of hand quickly.
“Ai......” Lin Feiran groaned as he closed the math practice book that he smoothly completed. He took out another book, 《High school student’s outstanding selections of essays》, forcing himself to look.
He can’t always lose so shamefully, ah!
At eight o’ clock, the evening self-study class finished, and students should go back to their dorm rooms.
Classmates who live in the same room usually would have a pretty good relationship. The two people would talk and laugh while walking to the dorm room. Only Lin Feiran and Gu Kaifeng were like this: one walked on the left side of the street and the other walked on the right side of the street, as if there was a river separating them. Lin Feiran also walked on the curb, as if wanting to make himself look taller.
Both people’s speed was originally similar, but as they walked Gu Kaifeng seemed to quicken his pace. Lin Feiran felt that he was losing out a little bit. As a result, with his must-never-lose personality, Lin Feiran also walked faster. In several seconds, he walked past Gu Kaifeng. Gu Kaifeng tilted his head, as if he felt that it was amusing. He also walked faster, surpassing Lin Feiran again. Lin Feiran resentfully walked even faster......
Suddenly, it became a race!
However, Gu Kaifeng had long legs so his stride was naturally superior. Lin Feiran quickly found out that he couldn’t chase after him. His face becoming hot, he ran towards the dorm.
Gu Kaifeng stared at Lin Feiran’s rabbit-like figure as he quickly ran farther away. He amusingly said in a low voice: “Fuck, is he crazy?”
Gu Kaifeng’s deskmate, Wang Zhuo, coincidentally passed by and asked: “What is it?”
Gu Kaifeng and Wang Zhuo’s relationship was pretty good. He said: “I just found out that my roommate is a little idiot.”
Wang Zhuo said: “Why did you say ‘little‘?”
Gu Kaifeng turned to glance at the 180cm Wang Zhuo, saying: “His body is small, why?”
Wang Zhuo teased: “Sounds like a nickname.”
Gu Kaifeng sneered: “A nickname? Then it’s okay if I call you that?”
Wang Zhuo winced: “Not possible.”
While running back to the dorm room, Lin Feiran finally realized that his action earlier was really stupid.
Because he was feeling embarrassed, when Gu Kaifeng returned two minutes later, Lin Feiran’s face was several degrees more expressionless than usual.
Let’s try using a poker face to cover up this embarrassment!
Gu Kaifeng wasn’t affected by the little idiot’s attitude. He leaned on the wardrobe and gazed at Lin Feiran, humorously asking: “What’s with the serious face? Didn’t you just win?”
Lin Feiran: “......”
