Chapter Ch31 - Do You Love Me to Death?

Seeing Gu Kaifeng kneeling on one knee with one hand holding his own, Lin Feiran suddenly had the illusion that this was a proposal.

“I can trim them myself…” He had hardly finished speaking before his fingertips were kissed again. A buzzing noise immediately filled Lin Feiran’s mind.

“Don’t fidget; it’ll hurt if I cut you.” Gu Kaifeng could not resist pinching Lin Feiran’s fingers before he carefully began to trim his nails. The expression on his face was extremely gentle.

Lin Feiran felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. As if he suddenly did not recognize his own home, he looked around everywhere, though he did not dare look at Gu Kaifeng. The place where their fingers were touching was so hot it felt like it was on fire.

The only reason I have not beaten him is my extremely good temperament, and not because of anything else! Lin Feiran was working hard to convince himself of this in his mind as he suppressed a certain alarming notion. His heart was palpitating loudly.

After clipping his nails for a little while, Gu Kaifeng shifted awkwardly in his kneeling position. He sighed, “I think I might be crazy.”

Lin Feiran’s face was full of bitterness. “You finally realized it, Gu Kaifeng.”

Gu Kaifeng gave a roguish smile and said in a throaty voice, “I can get hard just from looking at your hands like this.”

Lin Feiran: “……”

Gu Kaifeng was lost in his worries. “When we are in bed together in the future, if your temptation doesn’t kill me, sooner or later I will die from excessive e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n.”

“What bed! Let me tell you, you’re thinking too much!” His nails were finished just in time. Lin Feiran scornfully snapped back his hand and fixed Gu Kaifeng with a severe gaze as he tried to instill him with guilt!

“Do you need to cut your toenails?” As though it were the most natural thing to do, Gu Kaifeng propped up Lin Feiran’s lower leg and made as if he was going to take off his socks.

Lin Feiran’s body trembled in fear. He hastily pulled back his leg, avoiding Gu Kaifeng’s hands as he bellowed, “I’ll do it myself, myself!”

Gu Kaifeng was so amused by Lin Feiran, who appeared to have lost his head in fear, that he laughed out loud. He swiftly bowed his head to kiss Lin Feiran’s ankle then said, “Husband is going to do housework.”

Lin Feiran was guarding his feet as vigilantly as he would protect his chast.i.ty. When he heard this last statement, he immediately waved his hand and said, “Go quickly! Go quickly!”

So long as you distance yourself a bit from me immediately!

Having once again obtained tacit consent to the ‘husband’ t.i.tle, Gu Kaifeng’s heart was filled with satisfaction as he rolled up his sleeves and went to tidy the bedroom.

From Sunday afternoon until sometime in the evening, the duo handed over all of the kittens. The four people who adopted the cats all looked like upright individuals, but Lin Feiran methodically took down their contact information as a precaution. He tactfully suggested he may contact them from time to time to see how the kittens are doing. The four people straightforwardly agreed.

The girl who adopted the last kitten also carried away the cardboard box, the setting sun outlining her departing figure with a warm halo.

Gu Kaifeng saw Lin Feiran standing in place with a thoughtful expression on his face. He raised a hand and kneaded his shoulder as he asked, “Do you feel reluctant letting them go? You can raise some as soon as you graduate from high school. You can raise four of them.”

“No.” Lin Feiran shook his head, retracted his gaze, and blinked forcefully a few times. “I was just thinking that … if they hadn’t been saved that day, they would be dead now.”

Lin Feiran had been persevering with his ghost-seeing practice sessions for the past few days. He practiced several times a day for a few minutes at a time. He still felt scared when he saw ghosts, and Lin Feiran felt it would take him a few years before he would adapt to the ability. However, from a more objective standpoint, his hostility towards the Yin-Yang eyes had been gradually decreasing. At least, he was no longer filled with resentment and indignation over why he had to encounter this kind of misfortune. Further, provided the ghosts did not provoke him and maintained a safe distance, Lin Feiran was generally able to control his expressions and behavior. With some difficulty, he could pretend he did not see anything.

It’s still progress. I used to be scared to death by ghosts! Lin Feiran clenched his hands into fists and encouraged himself.

Moreover, he saved four kittens. There was no loss this round!

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the midterm exams.

Chinese, Math, Foreign Language, and Science. These four subjects would be tested over a two day period. Seating in the examination rooms was determined by student identification number. Gu Kaifeng’s student number was comparatively close to the beginning, and Lin Feiran, as a transfer student, had a number close to the end. Forget mentioning trying to make physical contact or sneakily taking an object from him during the exams: Lin Feiran was afraid they would not even be in the same exam room. Each subject would be tested for two to two and a half hours. Lin Feiran began by contemplating stealing Gu Kaifeng’s writing materials, but this sort of thing did not hold a lot of residual Yang energy. If he wanted to be certain he would not see ghosts for two hours, he would have to steal six or seven objects. It was basically impossible to not be discovered. After all, Gu Kaifeng was not blind!

So, on the morning midterms began, taking advantage of the time Gu Kaifeng was washing his face and brushing his teeth in the water room, the crafty little sticky-cake Lin opened Gu Kaifeng’s wardrobe…

To help students in changing their clothes and doing their laundry, the school provided two sets of identical autumn uniforms. And, according to Lin Feiran’s surrept.i.tious observations, the school uniform that Gu Kaifeng washed and hung dry two days ago should be in this wardrobe!

Lin Feiran rummaged through the closet twice and found the clean school uniform without a hitch. He took the uniform free of Yang energy from the wardrobe and shook it out, then swapped it with the uniform br.i.m.m.i.n.g with Yang energy that Gu Kaifeng had taken off and thrown over a chair before going to sleep yesterday.

I am truly very clever! Lin Feiran sneakily transferred Gu Kaifeng’s used school uniform into his own wardrobe and hid it.

The uniform jacket, trousers, white shirt, and vest… A four piece Yang energy set that corresponded perfectly with the four exams of Chinese, Math, English, and Science! By wearing one article of clothing for each exam, he should not have any problems getting by for two hours. One can say the plan was flawless.

Lin Feiran was filled with very self-satisfied thoughts as he picked out the used white shirt and put it on. Just as he was fastening the final b.u.t.ton, Gu Kaifeng, who had finished washing up, suddenly pushed open the door and came in.

Lin Feiran’s guilty conscience made him quiver from fright. Moving at the speed of light, he slammed his wardrobe closed then tucked the hem of the too-long shirt into his pants in a fl.u.s.tered manner. He had not yet zipped up his pants when Gu Kaifeng came over and pushed against the wardrobe door with a bang.

“Morning!” Lin Feiran stared nervously with widened eyes.

Gu Kaifeng gave a slight smile and asked, “Acting so sneakily, what are you up to?”

“Getting dressed, what else could I be doing…” There was a whoosh as Lin Feiran zipped up his pants. Afraid that Gu Kaifeng would notice his shirt sleeves became longer, he quickly clasped his hands behind his back like a primary school student then dispa.s.sionately observed Gu Kaifeng.

Gu Kaifeng gritted his teeth and warned, “If you continue acting cute, I will kiss you.”

Lin Feiran felt extremely aggrieved. “I was not acting cute!”

Gu Kaifeng stared at him with slightly narrowed eyes. “……”

Lin Feiran puffed out his chest and declared righteously, “I have always been cute!” F*ck, this can be blamed on me?

Gu Kaifeng could not hold back anymore. He raised his hand and pinched Lin Feiran’s chin, lowering his own head to his. Just as he was about to kiss him, it suddenly occurred to him that a forceful kiss may affect Lin Feiran’s performance during the exam. In the split second before their lips met, Gu Kaifeng managed to narrowly avoid making direct contact and ended up kissing the corner of Lin Feiran’s mouth lightly.

Lin Feiran’s face flushed so intensely it could be used to fry an egg, his brain steamed, and the Chinese Cla.s.sics he stayed up late last night to memorize were flung into the stratosphere.

That’s right. He had painstakingly stayed up late to memorize this piece because the school’s academic deity, the perennial number one student in the entire school, had predicted this chapter of Cla.s.sical Chinese literature would definitely be a fill in the blank question on the exam.

“I’ll leave it at this for now until you’re done your exams.” Gu Kaifeng threw down these words with determination.

Lin Feiran’s mouth quivered. He really wanted to cry. “……”

Ah! The Cla.s.sics that I memorized with great difficulty yesterday!I only remember the first verse now!

This is why it may still be said to make a lot of sense for schools to prohibit young love…

With the Yang energy-imbued school uniform to protect him, Lin Feiran was able to take his midterm exams smoothly. The Yang energy in the clothes worn by Gu Kaifeng indeed lasted long enough; Lin Feiran did not see ghosts even once while filling out his answer sheets.

The only drawback was that the clothes still retained Gu Kaifeng’s scent, causing Lin Feiran to constantly have the feeling of being embraced by Gu Kaifeng…

While writing the exam, his face would abruptly redden. This looked very suspicious! As a result, over these two days, Lin Feiran became the focus of the proctor’s attention.

It was the afternoon of the second day and the exam for the final subject, English, had concluded. According to regulations, students were allowed to rest until the end of the evening interval between lessons, then they had to return to cla.s.s for evening self-study.

Lin Feiran was wearing Gu Kaifeng’s uniform jacket and after leaving the exam room, walked quickly towards the dormitory. He wanted to rush back to the dorms to change his jacket so he could secretly return it to Gu Kaifeng’s wardrobe!

However, while Lin Feiran was single-mindedly focused on walking, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. When he turned his head to look back he saw Gu Kaifeng standing behind him looking awfully cool as he slid his hand into his pants pocket. With a smile, he commented, “You’re walking so fast and not waiting for me.”

Lin Feiran: “……”

Speak of the devil!

Gu Kaifeng’s gaze was as sharp as a knife as it scrutinized Lin Feiran from head to toe, his dashing eyebrows slightly furrowed. He mulled, “Why have I been feeling that there is something a little off about you these past two days…”

Lin Feiran swallowed with an audible gulp.

Gu Kaifeng had an epiphany. “Isn’t your uniform a little too big?”

“It’s your imagination. I’m going to head back to the dorm first; I have a somewhat urgent matter…” Lin Feiran dealt with the situation in a few words then turned with the intent to leave.

“Get back here,” Gu Kaifeng said in a low voice, and grabbed Lin Feiran’s wrist to pull him back towards him. Lin Feiran’s balance was thrown off and he was plunged head-first into Gu Kaifeng’s embrace. Restraining him with his left hand so he could not leave, Gu Kaifeng reached his right hand into the collar of the uniform jacket and flipped it over. Once he clearly made out the clothing size, his eyes immediately turned a bit darker. “XXL? Don’t you wear large?”

“What? Can’t I grow fast?” Lin Feiran quibbled senselessly, hating that he could not grow ten centimeters in an instant to fit the uniform!

Gu Kaifeng a.s.serted imperiously, “You can’t.”

Lin Feiran: “……”

“This is my school uniform, isn’t it?” Gu Kaifeng demanded.

“It’s not,” Lin Feiran denied, his gaze evasive.

Gu Kaifeng bowed his head so he could stick his nose to Lin Feiran’s shoulder, and sniffed. Speaking a half truth and half falsehood, he bluffed, “My laundry detergent smells like this.”

Since it seemed as though he could no longer deny it, Lin Feiran abandoned his resistance and hung his head in silence, becoming like a soft and deflated sticky cake.

Gu Kaifeng bit his lower lip, laughter shining in his eyes. He hung his head close to Lin Feiran’s ear and said in a doting tone, “You little pervert.”

Lin Feiran: “……”

He was actually called a pervert by a pervert! Lin Feiran really wanted to jump into a river to prove his innocence!

Gu Kaifeng’s breathing was unstable and his voice turned hoa.r.s.e. “Do you love me to death or not? Do you feel anything when you wear my clothes?”

Lin Feiran blushed and pushed Gu Kaifeng away, wanting to run, but Gu Kaifeng kept an unyielding grip on his wrist. The students pa.s.sing by in the hall were all turning to stare at them in turn, some even with expressions of excitement or fascination written on their faces.

Gu Kaifeng clicked his tongue in irritation and quickly entered the nearby men’s restroom, pulling Lin Feiran along. He pushed his way into a stall, dragging in the man behind him, then turned and kicked the stall door shut, locking it with one hand. His other hand was occupied in keeping the ceaselessly struggling Lin Feiran trapped in his embrace.

Bowing his head, Gu Kaifeng kissed Lin Feiran with ferocity.

The midterm exams were over. Gu Kaifeng no longer had to worry about Lin Feiran’s mental state. Holding him in a deathly tight embrace, he pa.s.sionately kissed Lin Feiran’s soft, pliable lips and sucked the tip of his tongue. If it were not for the extremely cold draft coming in from all sides of the toilet stall, Gu Kaifeng could not have restrained himself from stripping naked the little thing who had sneakily worn his clothes and kissing him from head to toe.
