Lin Chengyu pointed at the jacket in the back of the car and said: “Wear that.”

Lin Feiran put on his dad’s jacket as warm air blew from the vents, and he felt a little better. But the cold feeling still lingered like a shadow, yet to completely dissipate. Lin Feiran wrapped the jacket more tightly around himself and curled up to sleep on the passenger’s seat.

When they arrived at the school, it was already the last class of the evening. Lin Feiran and his dad went to eat together nearby. After, they were greeted by a swarm of students while they entered the school gate, on their way to the dormitory. Lin Feiran’s body was uncomfortable and unsteady, and he periodically felt nauseous. He felt like he had a fever.

In the short period of time that he spent walking back to the dormitory, his condition seemed to have gotten worse. Lin Feiran’s cheeks were burning as if they were on fire, his eyes felt stabbing pain, and his body felt so cold that he couldn’t stop shivering. Without taking off his uniform, he took the quilt off his bed and wrapped it around his body then began to search up and down for a thermometer.

As a result, five minutes later when Gu Kaifeng returned to the dorm room, this is the kind of scene that he saw: the arrogant bastard wrapped in a big quilt, dejectedly sitting on a swivel chair and reading the thermometer in his hand. His delicate face was completely red and his eyes were moist; who knew if it was from sickness or from crying. His whole body exuded a very pitiful aura, similar to a rooster whose tail had been plucked bald.

Lin Feiran was dazed with fever and blurted out: “39°C......”. After a moment, Lin Feiran realized that something was off. He hurriedly halted his words and used his remaining strength to roll his eyes, weakly saying: “Is it any of your business?”

“What are you looking for?” Gu Kaifeng crossed his arms and leaned on the doorframe.

Lin Feiran kicked the suitcase back under the bed and hoarsely mumbled to himself: “Whatever it is, I couldn’t find it, you’re talking so much today.” He felt embarrassed that his pitiful appearance was seen by his archnemesis. Therefore, he wanted to act as if nothing was wrong and wait until Gu Kaifeng left so he could go down to buy some medicine.

Hence, Lin Feiran went to throw the quilt back onto his bed. However, what he thought was him exhibiting skillful and strong movements actually looked more like a tortoise slowly climbing his way up to the top bunk. Lin Feiran felt nauseous after climbing up and gagged, but nothing came out after retching for a while. His nausea persisted so Lin Feiran could only climb back down, take a clean washbasin, place it on the bedside, and slowly climb up again. The whole process took three minutes, he really looked like a sloth......

Gu Kaifeng stood below, silently watching the whole thing: “......”

This little idiot successfully aroused his paternal instinct.

This is what Gu Kaifeng thought.

As a result, several minutes later, there was a plastic bag beside Lin Feiran’s pillow. Inside the plastic bag was: a small bowl of warm congee, a bottle of water, a box of flu medicine, and a strip of painkillers.

Gu Kaifeng softly called: “Hey.”

Lin Feiran stuck his head out from under the blanket. Looking at the things in front of him, he suspiciously asked: “Did you put this here?”

Gu Kaifeng: “No.”

Lin Feiran: “Then......”

The corner of Gu Kaifeng’s lips raised in mocking smile and he said: “It was Santa Claus.”

Lin Feiran: “......”

Seeing that Lin Feiran wasn’t going to respond, Gu Kaifeng said: “Should I put this in a stocking for you?”

Seeing as the other party was ready to forgive and forget, the extremely petty Lin Feiran didn’t want to look like he was too small-minded. After struggling for a while, he awkwardly said in a small voice: “Thank you.”

The two words were so quiet it was almost like he was talking to himself......

However, Gu Kaifeng heard it and generously waved his hand then turned his head and left, heading for the night self-study class.

Lin Feiran looked at the medication. Although he didn’t want to accept Gu Kaifeng’s goodwill, his body felt really weak. He tore open the box of medicine and took the correct amount and also obediently drank the small bowl of warm congee until not a drop was left. After he drank, his body warmed up a lot and the chill that had lingered was gone without a trace. Lin Feiran wiped his mouth and went to sleep comfortably.

Lin Feiran didn’t know how long he slept but when he woke up, the dorm room light was already turned off. A soft light shone from below; Gu Kaifeng must be using a small lamp to read a book.

Lin Feiran squinted. He wasn’t fully awake. The first thing that entered his mind was the fact that his grandpa had passed, which immediately made Lin Feiran feel sad again. The second thing was that his fever seemed to have gone away and the weakness he felt before sleeping was mostly all gone. His head didn’t hurt and he also didn’t feel nauseous. He felt the weakness was only ‘mostly’ gone because it seemed as though a small part of the cold energy still lingered in his body.

Lin Feiran didn’t pay attention to this and only thought that the medicine Gu Kaifeng bought was very effective. He licked his lips; his throat and mouth were very dry, so he just wanted to get up and drink some water. Suddenly, a strange male voice could be heard beside his ear—— “Wake up, wake up ah everyone, the sky is completely dark, get up high!”

“Alright, get up lah.”

“So early calling people to get up......”

“The moon is shining on your asses, you lazybones!”

Lin Feiran grabbed the bedpost, sticking his head out from the upper bunk to look below...... only to see that the supposed-to-be-vacant dorm room was, since god knows when, squeezed full of people. There were probably fourteen to fifteen people – some of them standing, some sitting, and some even laying on the floor! Lin Feiran’s heart couldn’t take it anymore and wildly pounded – his chest almost burst apart. While he was engrossed in the shocking scene, a long haired woman who stood below Lin Feiran’s bed suddenly lifted her head and stared at him.

Seeing clearly the woman’s appearance for a second, Lin Feiran could feel the blood in his body freeze.

That was one heck of a horrible face.

A face with ash-grey skin and empty, pitch-black eye sockets from which a pair of white, pupilless eyeballs dangled stared horrifically in Lin Feiran’s direction. Her pale grey skin was filled with crevices and holes, like a jigsaw puzzle where the pieces were incorrectly jammed together. Her entire face looked like an old, dry patch of clay, cracked to expose the dark red rotten flesh underneath......

Ghosts! I just saw ghosts!

This clear, cold realization was like a devastating bomb that exploded in Lin Feiran’s heart, spreading dread that instantly tore apart his sanity!

Lin Feiran thought that he was screaming but no sound actually came out, as if his throat was sealed with fear. His whole body froze for a few seconds like a clay statue before abruptly springing into action.

Lin Feiran got out of the bed in a very simplified manner: he supported himself on the bedpost with one hand, pushed off of the mattress, and jumped straight from the upper bunk to stomp heavily onto the floor.

“AAAAAAAAAH!” The female ghost that almost made Lin Feiran’s heart stop out of fear stepped back and complained loudly: “What are you doing so suddenly ah! Scaring me to death!”

Lin Feiran then pounced onto Gu Kaifeng’s bed and he actually wanted to retort——go to your old man! Between us, who exactly is scaring whom to death!?

The person who was reading a book on the lower bunk, Gu Kaifeng, was also startled. His roommate who had been sleeping on the upper bunk, without rhyme or reason, suddenly jumped down without a word and pounced on his body......

“What’s with you?” Gu Kaifeng asked unhappily as his face sank.

Lin Feiran was completely straddling Gu Kaifeng’s thighs. His two arms hugged his archnemesis’s upper body with enough strength to strangle him, embracing him with all his might. His chest was hyperventilating as it pressed tightly against Gu Kaifeng’s chest, and his hysterical heartbeat could be felt through his thin body.

“Wuu......” a weak moan came out of Lin Feiran’s throat, just like the sound of a small animal.

Gu Kaifeng’s mind went blank for a moment, the hand that was planning to push Lin Feiran away hanging stiffly in the air. His tone became much warmer and he asked again: “What is it?”

“Wuahh......” Lin Feiran whimpered again. Since the moment he lunged onto Gu Kaifeng’s bed, he actually wanted to yell loudly: “There are ghosts!”, but the strange thing is, no matter what, he couldn’t say those three words! It’s as if he was suddenly mute. Even if he worked hard to move his tongue and vocal cords, the sounds that he managed to squeeze out were all moans......

Lin Feiran’s voice cracked as he howled: “Fuck! I’m a mute!”

Gu Kaifeng: “......I can hear you.”

How am I able to speak again? Lin Feiran was embarrassed and started to talk again: “In the dorm room......” However, the three words, “there are ghosts,” still got stuck in his throat and he couldn’t say them.

Even if I can’t speak, I can still use my finger ah...... Lin Feiran didn’t think further into the reason he lost his voice; he only wanted to make Gu Kaifeng immediately aware of the strange things happening in their dorm room. Lin Feiran closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to point in the general direction of the ghosts, feeling ill at heart.

The loud noises and the many “people” in the dorm room — why was Gu Kaifeng acting like he didn’t know about them at all?

Hearing Gu Kaifeng’s answer confirmed Lin Feiran’s doubts. Gu Kaifeng had looked in the direction in which Lin Feiran was pointing and calmly asked: “What are you pointing at?”

Lin Feiran, who hadn’t dared to open his eyes since he lunged himself into Gu Kaifeng’s embrace, carefully and cautiously let go of Gu Kaifeng and slowly opened his eyes into a slit...... The dorm room was back in its usual state: there was no female ghost and there were also none of those strange people who until just now were making quite a ruckus.

There was nothing.

“......Huh?” Lin Feiran was stupefied again. He was straddling Gu Kaifeng’s thighs and his hands were both laying on Gu Kaifeng’s chest. A pair of beautiful eyes opened wide and round, cautiously looking around like a vigilant little hamster.

Gu Kaifeng stared for a moment and asked in a rarely heard and almost gentle tone: “Did you have a nightmare?”

The crazy ghosts are finally here!

Gu Kaifeng is so sweet.
