Gu Kaifeng gazed at the extremely uncomfortable Lin Feiran and gently revealed a smile. Shortly after, he asked, "When is your birthday?"
"November 9th, " Lin Feiran replied.
Gu Kaifeng blurted without thinking, "Scorpio."
Lin Feiran smiled, "Yeah, I know my sign. How's Scorpio?"
A mischievous glint flashed through Gu Kaifeng's eyes and he deliberately said, "Scorpios are jealous, sensitive, narcissistic, and vindictive..."
Lin Feiran's face darkened for a moment. His lips moved as though to speak before he dejectedly pursed them again, "......"
Even though he wanted to protest, this sounded just like him ah!
Gu Kaifeng observed Lin Feiran's self-censorship with amusement and changed his tune, "Those are the negatives, but there are more positives than negatives: Scorpios are smart, have a mysterious personality, are full of charisma, have an acute sixth-sense, are mentally and spiritually strong, are talented in art..."
"Now that sounds just like me." The corners of Lin Feiran's lips showed a proud smile.
But then Gu Kaifeng's tone started to intensify, "Scorpios' sexual appetite is very strong..."
Lin Feiran said, "Hey!"
Gu Kaifeng continued, "Might seem asexual on the outside..."
Lin Feiran interrupted again, "Hey hey!"
Gu Kaifeng continued, "But on the inside they're passionate like fire..."
Lin Feiran's face was completely red as he protested, "Hey hey hey!"
Just now, the small tail that had been rising slowly came down and cautiously blocked his little chrysanthemum!
Gu Kaifeng raised his eyebrows and queried, "Really?"
Lin Feiran hastily nodded, "You don't know me. I'm a person with a pure heart. When I see beautiful women, my heart doesn't waver at all. I might admire them, but very rarely do I get such immoral thoughts. I think I'm already disillusioned with the material world."
It'd be strange if you got such immoral thoughts about women; do you think that I can't see through you? The corner of Gu Kaifeng's lips raised and he let out a small laugh.
That laugh was very strange!
Lin Feiran: "......"
Teacher! I feel like my deskmate is very weird lately!
"Come, I'll show you around." Gu Kaifeng checked to see if the food and water bowls near the doghouse were sufficiently filled. He took the dog toy and threw it, telling the dog to play by himself. Gu Kaifeng then took Lin Feiran to look around his home. When they reached the study, Gu Kaifeng placed the dip pen and ink that Lin Feiran chose for him on the desk. Afterwards, he pointed at a dagger inside a rectangular glass case and said, "Look, this is our family heirloom."
"Really? How many generations has it been?" Lin Feiran looked more closely. The dagger was mottled and the blade was full of notches. No one could say how many impacts it had withstood. From one look, it appeared to have been around for quite some time.
"Even my dad doesn't know." Gu Kaifeng made an expansive gesture with his hand, "Many generations. I heard that an emperor bestowed it to the Gu ancestor."
This kind of antique that has been passed down since ancient times is typically not simple at all. It may even be polluted with a lot of resentment, like a grieving spirit who died under its blade... That's how it's written in novels! Lin Feiran swallowed his saliva and cautiously touched Gu Kaifeng. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he might see something near the dagger that shouldn't be seen.
Afterwards, Gu Kaifeng took Lin Feiran up and down the villa before finally bringing Lin Feiran to his bedroom.
Lin Feiran made the decision to stay over without notice, so he hadn't brought anything with him. Gu Kaifeng took out a set of pajamas and a new pair of underwear from his wardrobe and said, "They're probably going to be too big for you, but make do with these."
"......" Lin Feiran silently took them.
"You shower first." Gu Kaifeng led Lin Feiran to the bathroom door.
"Alright." Lin Feiran touched Gu Kaifeng's arm to absorb Yang energy. He was determined to finish this battle in five minutes.
Gu Kaifeng pinched Lin Feiran's hand that misbehaved from day to night. He furrowed his eyebrows a little and asked, "Or do you want to shower together?"
"Goodbye." Lin Feiran quickly entered the bathroom with his change of clothes and closed the door. He turned on the water and started undressing. Just as he finished stripping, the water turned hot. As if he was in a battle, Lin Feiran impatiently slathered shampoo onto his hair and shower gel over his body all in one go. He carelessly rubbed himself down, then quickly rinsed. Just over four minutes had elapsed by the time he had dried off, gotten dressed, and walked out of the bathroom.
"That fast?" Gu Kaifeng came closer and saw that Lin Feiran was walking towards him without even having properly dried his hair. His long bangs were swept to the side and his hair was dripping wet. His delicate cheeks were a little red from the steam and his eyes seemed distraught, just like a small animal caught in the rain.
Gu Kaifeng couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. He pulled a towel from the bathroom shelf and covered Lin Feiran's head. He rubbed Lin Feiran's hair as though drying off a little dog. Lin Feiran stepped back to avoid him, but Gu Kaifeng stepped closer and gently reproached, "Don't move, you left without even squeezing the water out of your hair."
Lin Feiran obediently stopped moving away from the towel. A pair of big and bright eyes quickly looked over Gu Kaifeng from bottom to top before looking down dejectedly, just like a puppy who was being scolded.
"A few days ago you had a high fever. Did you forget?" After towel-drying him enough, Gu Kaifeng took back the towel and caressed Lin Feiran's still-damp hair."Go get the hair dryer and blow-dry your hair."
"Where is it?" Lin Feiran, who had been thoroughly rubbed, shook his head, looking even more like a puppy.
Gu Kaifeng retrieved the hair dryer, plugged it in, then gave it to Lin Feiran."Dry your hair, I'm going to shower."
Lin Feiran pulled on Gu Kaifeng's wrist lightly and said, "Shower quickly."
"What's wrong?" Gu Kaifeng asked in half-joking and half-flirtatious tone, "Are you going to miss me if you can't see me for a moment?"
"No." Lin Feiran's face was full of vigor as he looked straight ahead and boldly replied, "We've played the whole afternoon; quickly shower so we can do our homework."
Only knowledge can make me happy in this world!
Gu Kaifeng ground his teeth as he resisted the urge to kiss Lin Feiran's cheeks that were feigning decency."Ok, I'll be finished in ten minutes."
Ten minutes is still very long ah... Lin Feiran bitterly used the hair dryer to blow-dry his hair. After making observations for the past few days, he had found out that he could only avoid seeing ghosts for about five minutes after touching Gu Kaifeng. This was extremely short; definitely not a long-term plan. After all, he couldn't just stick close to Gu Kaifeng for the rest of his life. But for the time being, Lin Feiran didn't have any other way. The past few days after he activated his Yin-Yang eyes, he had checked all his classmates and teachers but nobody had Yang energy as strong as Gu Kaifeng's. He couldn't find any other protective talisman as a backup.
Lin Feiran finished drying his hair. When the five-minute-mark came near, he anxiously went towards the bathroom door. Leaning on the door, he listened to the sounds inside, ready to break in at anytime to touch Gu Kaifeng's body...
This really makes him sound like a pervert!
First, he had to calm down. In any case, if there were no ghosts — or very few ghosts — in Gu Kaifeng's house, then no matter what he wouldn't be forced to enter the bathroom... Lin Feiran was thinking optimistically when that chilling sensation seized his body without warning. The nerves in his brain were suddenly stretched taut like a bowstring. He trembled as he reached for the door handle and grasped it with fear. He fixed his eyes onto his hand, not daring to look around.
Although he didn't dare to look, he could still hear.
Listening to a voice, Lin Feiran judged that there should be a ghost several meters away. The ghost was definitely old and had a rather hoarse voice. It sounded like a seventy or eighty-year-old person. They coughed twice before they quaveringly said, "Grandpa, this is the friend that Xiao Feng brought over."
Hearing such an old voice calling another 'Grandpa, ' Lin Feiran couldn't help but be stupefied, "......"
This, could they be the Gu family's ancestors!?
This time, another old voice rang out, "This is the first time Xiao Feng brought somebody home. As expected, he's a boy."
Another old ghost said, "Xiao Feng is showering inside, what's he doing clinging to the door?"
Lin Feiran was both embarrassed and afraid, his face turning red in one moment and white the next. Inside, he was struggling intensely between wanting to quickly go in and being too embarrassed to do so. While he was seriously finding himself at a loss, the old ancestor ghost who was called "Grandpa" said, "Eldest grandson ah, go see what that boy is doing. Our nine generations Gu family's only heir..."
Fuck, don't come over you old men! Hearing the footsteps of the old ghosts walking towards him, Lin Feiran trembled in fear. He couldn't do anything except push open the door and enter the bathroom.
The sound of running water could be heard from behind the shower curtain. Lin Feiran silently moved closer...
While Gu Kaifeng was showering, the shower curtain was suddenly pulled back a little. Lin Feiran quietly peered in with half of his face, puffed up his cheeks unhappily, and poked Gu Kaifeng's pecs lightly with a finger.
Gu Kaifeng almost got hard from the cuteness, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "What is it?"
Lin Feiran was embarrassed inside, but his expression was natural as he said, "Nothing ah, I just wanted to see if you'd finished showering or not."
After that, he remained in place.
After rushing in like a pervert and looking at the naked body of the sole heir of nine generations of the Gu family, Lin Feiran was too ashamed to go back and face the Gu family's ancestors!
"Am I good looking?" Seeing that Lin Feiran didn't leave after touching him, Gu Kaifeng clenched his fists to show off his physique. A thin layer of muscle covered his slender and strong body proportionally, causing him to appear much more mature than his peers. Only his wrists, collarbones, and waistline remained youthfully slim, making him look very attractive.
Lin Feiran was dumbfounded for a moment, then he pulled the shower curtain shut.
Handsome, what handsome? Is it that great to have muscles! Lin Feiran angrily pounded his chest and hastily rubbed his face. Gu Kaifeng showing off his muscles in front of Lin Feiran's pale and tender face made him so angry that he blushed and his heart pounded...
That's right, his blushing face and pounding heart must be from anger!
