Translator: iced, Editor: XD, Phyrrae
Gu Kaifeng got into bed with a face that expressed he absolutely didn’t understand people with Lin Feiran’s EQ.
Lin Feiran was worried that Gu Kaifeng would ask why he wanted them to sleep together again, so he pretended to read. But, he was so nervous that he flipped the pages too quickly and his eyes weren’t even moving, just staring at the same spot on the page. Anyone who watched carefully would see that he wasn’t really reading.
Gu Kaifeng was silent while he played with his phone on the bed, observing Lin Feiran from the corner of his eyes.
After ‘reading’ for some time and finding that Gu Kaifeng had nothing to say to him, Lin Feiran relaxed and closed the book, placed it under his pillow, then said, “I’m sleeping now.”
Gu Kaifeng smiled and made a sound of agreement.
Lin Feiran quickly closed his eyes and sneakily bent his leg to touch Gu Kaifeng’s.
Gu Kaifeng didn’t avoid it.
The small patch of skin where the two people were touching started to heat up...
Obviously, plan ‘Pretend to Sleep Together Naturally’ was a success.
I’m a genius at influencing people’s hearts! thought Lin Feiran with a small, irrepressible smile.
Gu Kaifeng looked at the pretty teenager who was lying in his bed, knees stealthily touched to his own and a sneaky smile on
“Hu——” He took another deep breath, switched off the reading light, and lay down to sleep.
With the protection of his human-shaped talisman, Lin Feiran successfully survived another dreamless night and had a wonderful sleep. He felt energized when he woke in the morning and was practically glowing, making his pretty face even more eye-catching.
On the other hand, Gu Kaifeng had eyebags, his handsome face showing traces of exhaustion...
They looked like a little fox spirit who finished a satisfying meal of Yang energy and the unfortunate guy who got drained dry by said spirit!
Lin Feiran poked Gu Kaifeng and asked, “Did you not sleep well last night...”
Gu Kaifeng yawned and replied quietly, “I slept fine, pretty good.”
Lin Feiran looked at him again. Feeling worried about his future sleeping arrangements, he hurriedly asked, “Was my sleeping posture bad last night?”
Gu Kaifeng shook his head and chucked his empty coffee can into the bin from a distance before glancing at Lin Feiran and saying, “No, I just stayed up too late playing games on my phone.”
The cute little straight male was relieved!
Now that the sleeping problem was resolved, the next step was to take care of the lesson problem. After all, standing at the back of the classroom was not a solution.
Therefore, once the first lesson was over, Lin Feiran rushed to the teachers’ lounge to find his homeroom teacher.
Their homeroom teacher was a woman with the surname Cheng, currently in her forties, with a son in primary school. She had a strict personality and didn’t smile often, but as she took her job very seriously the students were both fearful and respectful towards her. When Lin Feiran walked into her office, she was busy marking the schoolwork that was handed in that morning. The chemistry teacher opposite her was talking to another student, saying, “Go to your classroom and tell two boys to come over and help move these workbooks.”
The homeroom teacher looked at Lin Feiran and asked, “What can I help you with?”
Lin Feiran nervously licked his lips and said, “Teacher Cheng, I want to change seats.”
“Where do you want to move to?”
“I want to change seats with Wang Zhuo.”
The homeroom teacher furrowed her brows and remembered that the person sitting next to Lin Feiran was the worst student in the class, so she asked, “Is Zhang Xu bothering you during classes?”
“No, no, of course not.” Lin Feiran shook his head.
The ghost that likes to harass Zhang Xu is bothering me during class, but I can’t say that out loud...
The homeroom teacher pressed, “Then why change seats? You have to have a reason.”
While she was speaking, Lin Feiran heard footsteps behind him. They were probably the students who came to help the chemistry teacher move the workbooks.
Without looking behind him, Lin Feiran used the excuse he had pre-prepared and recited, “My literature grades are too poor. Gu Kaifeng is very good in literature and he can help me.”
The homeroom teacher checked, “Have you asked Gu Kaifeng?”
Lin Feiran nodded his head and lied, “I talked to him; he agreed to help me after classes.”
They actually never talked about it!
This setup was so that Lin Feiran could act like he didn’t know why the teacher changed their seats!
If he didn’t put up this facade, considering how he had stuck to Gu Kaifeng for the past two days — sleeping together, eating together, even going to the toilet together — if Lin Feiran now wanted to sit together... he really didn’t have the face to let Gu Kaifeng know.
But right as he said that, an amused voice sounded next to Lin Feiran — “Teacher Cheng, I’ve already discussed it with Lin Feiran, please help us change seats.”
Lin Feiran was so startled he almost jumped out of his skin!
“Um, that...” Lin Feiran turned stiffly to see Gu Kaifeng standing next to him with an armful of chemistry workbooks, and Wang Zhuo standing behind him with another load of workbooks. Gu Kaifeng had a serious expression on his face while Wang Zhuo wore a sneaky smile.
Lin Feiran: “......”
Dammit, I should have looked behind me just now!
Gu Kaifeng continued, “Is that okay, teacher Cheng? I promise I’ll tutor Lin Feiran well.”
Lin Feiran might be wrong, but he felt that there was some emphasis on the word “tutor”...
Lin Feiran couldn’t agree but couldn’t disagree either. He stood there blankly, so embarrassed that he was sweating.
The homeroom teacher nodded. “I understand and will think about it. Please go back to the classroom; class is starting soon.”
Gu Kaifeng’s father had given the school a large amount of money some time ago. This gave Gu Kaifeng special privileges in the school. As long as the things he requested didn’t go against the school rules, they would probably be given to him; even if he said he didn’t want a roommate, the school would try its best to indulge him. Changing seats wouldn’t be a problem at all.
Gu Kaifeng revealed a bright and handsome smile and said, “Okay Teacher, we’ll go back to the classroom first. Goodbye.”
Lin Feiran’s face was completely red. He didn’t want to walk with Gu Kaifeng so he tried to stay behind and let him leave first.
But right at this moment the familiar cold feeling crept up on him again. Failing to register the situation, Lin Feiran inadvertently looked down.
This one look almost made him jump in fright in front of the homeroom teacher again!
Under the homeroom teacher’s table, there was a cute little girl around five or six years old. The use of the descriptor ‘cute’ was based on her features: a pair of large, innocent black eyes and delicate mouth and button nose like a china doll. She seemed like she would have been cute when she was still alive — that is, if you ignored her paper-white face and bleeding orifices.
The little girl was wearing an ankle-length pastel pink dress. Kneeling on the floor, her snowy arms were obediently hugging the homeroom teacher’s leg, the corners of her mouth slightly raised as if satisfied from this contact. The homeroom teacher, on the other hand, was oblivious.
This wouldn’t be... Lin Feiran’s face turned white and his hair stood on end. He opened his mouth wanting to say something to the homeroom teacher, but Gu Kaifeng had lightly bumped into his shoulder and said, “Come on, let’s go.”
The image in front of Lin Feiran disappeared.
There was nothing under the homeroom teacher’s desk other than a trash can.
Lin Feiran dazedly followed Gu Kaifeng and Wang Zhuo out of the teachers’ lounge, his mind replaying the image of the little girl’s ghost.
In the hallway, Wang Zhuo lightly kicked Gu Kaifeng and scolded jokingly, “Damn you playboy, you don’t want me, your father, anymore.”
Gu Kaifeng gave him a look and quipped, “Pack up quickly and get out.”
Wang Zhuo shook his head and teased dramatically, “Tsk tsk tsk, men are always like this, ditching the old lover for the new. Men, ah, men.”
Lin Feiran’s expression immediately turned strange; the embarrassment that had been chased away through fear of the little ghost had resurfaced making him unable to lift his head.
Gu Kaifeng tilted his head to the side slightly, glanced over at Lin Feiran, and followed up Wang Zhuo’s taunts with a low call of, “Hey, new love.”
Lin Feiran glared at him. “Don’t say stupid stuff like that.”
Gu Kaifeng smirked. He walked into the classroom and put the chemistry workbooks onto the teacher’s desk before striding to his table in the back row and taking his seat. Wang Zhuo collected a bag of trash from beneath his chair and threw it into the bin at the front of the class in preparation for trading places with Lin Feiran.
Lin Feiran’s ears burned with embarrassment from the actions of those two. “......”
Somehow, I really don’t like this!
Probably because it was too embarrassing yesterday, Lin Feiran avoided standing in the back during second and third periods today. But, when the bell rang signalling the start of the fourth period math class, the founder of the school returned to inspect the classroom again. He was dressed very respectably and even the remaining half of his head was neat and clean — so much so that Lin Feiran could see the especially smooth bisection of his brain!
Once the old gentleman walked into the classroom he immediately focused on Lin Feiran, clearly not having a good impression of this bad student who was sleeping during class and messing around in the back row yesterday.
Lin Feiran was terrifed and immediately looked down: “......”
But the old gentleman was already striding towards Lin Feiran, his footsteps quick and steady — his bones were clearly still strong and healthy when he died!
Lin Feiran wasn’t concerned about being embarrassed at this point. He grabbed his math textbook and workbook, leapt out of his seat, rushed back to Gu Kaifeng, and prodded his shoulder lightly.
Gu Kaifeng poked Lin Feiran in the ribs softly in return.
The ticklish Lin Feiran let out a loud laugh as the math teacher walked through the door, “Hahahahaha!”
The math teacher: “......”
Gu Kaifeng put his head in his hands, trying to stop himself from laughing.
Lin Feiran: “......”
Even though he couldn’t see him now, Lin Feiran could guess that the school’s old founder probably stood behind him, lecturing him about how inappropriate it was to mess around and laugh during class. Once he imagined that scene, he nervously leaned closer to Gu Kaifeng.
