“You can lie closer.” Gu Kaifeng shared half the blanket with Lin Feiran before he shifted closer to the edge of the bed, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

Lin Feiran slowly covered his body with the blanket. The blanket seemed like it was recently washed and air-dried under the sun; it was fluffy and soft to the touch and emitted the faint scent of detergent. Maybe it was a placebo effect, but Lin Feiran felt comfortable and warm being covered by Gu Kaifeng’s blanket.

After two or three minutes, Gu Kaifeng’s breathing gradually slowed. He hadn’t turned off the reading lamp near the bedpost and instead had left it on its dimmest setting. The soft, dim light enhanced the beautiful contour of his profile. With his long, thick eyelashes lying motionless against his cheeks, his calm sleeping face seemed like a painting. Lin Feiran hugged his corner of the blanket and watched Gu Kaifeng for a moment. Thinking that Gu Kaifeng should be asleep, Lin Feiran carefully lay on his back. As both boys had healthy physiques, Lin Feiran’s being slim and Gu Kaifeng’s being toned, neither person took up too much space on the bed. With Gu Kaifeng sleeping near the edge, even with the two of them lying flat on their backs, they were still separated by a small gap.

Lin Feiran moved his lower leg towards Gu Kaifeng until it brushed against his calf to ensure their limbs maintained contact.

Putting aside the fact that Lin Feiran is deathly afraid of ghosts, even if he weren’t scared, listening to more than ten people screaming and disco-dancing in his dorm room in the middle of the night would be enough to make him want to kill himself.

However, just as he made contact with Gu Kaifeng’s calf, Gu Kaifeng’s leg smoothly bent at the knee, lifting his calf off the bed. Because of this, Lin Feiran couldn’t reach it anymore.

Is he doing this on purpose...... Lin Feiran reached out his hand and waved it in front of Gu Kaifeng’s face for a time, trying to see if he was really asleep or not, but Gu Kaifeng didn’t move at all.

After waiting a while, Lin Feiran bent his arm towards Gu Kaifeng to touch Gu Kaifeng’s arm with his elbow. Feeling Gu Kaifeng’s warmth radiating through his pyjamas, Lin Feiran became a little more relaxed.

However, after touching for only a second, Gu Kaifeng suddenly raised his hand and scratched the tip of his nose. Because of this, Lin Feiran couldn’t touch his arm anymore.

“......” Is this guy really asleep or just pretending? Lin Feiran sat up bitterly and stared closely at Gu Kaifeng’s face while hovering over him like a ghost.

Gu Kaifeng’s eyes remained closed, giving off the appearance of someone in a deep sleep.

Lin Feiran had no choice but to lie back down. After a moment, he begrudgingly moved towards Gu Kaifeng again, using his left shoulder to press lightly against Gu Kaifeng’s right shoulder.

Gu Kaifeng remained motionless.

Lin Feiran continued, “Are you asleep?”

Gu Kaifeng gave no reaction at all.

Lin Feiran braved the danger of being kicked back to the upper bunk and said, “cough...... Gu Kaifeng is a big pighead.”

Gu Kaifeng’s sleeping face remained placid and without any change.

It seems like he didn’t hear it ah! The pure little straight guy Lin Feiran was relieved. He confidently stretched out his arm and firmly hugged Gu Kaifeng’s lean waist, then lifted a leg to press down on Gu Kaifeng’s thighs to forcefully hold them in place. Just like a koala climbing a tree, Lin Feiran wrapped himself tightly around Gu Kaifeng.

Gu Kaifeng still gave no reaction and slept like the dead.

Lin Feiran was satisfied: “......”

Let’s see where else you can run to! Behave and be this daddy’sprotective talisman!

Although this evening Lin Feiran had suffered three consecutive horrors after enduring a miserable day, he felt strangely at ease from hugging Gu Kaifeng. Gu Kaifeng’s body was warm and, with the faint chill that continuously afflicted Lin Feiran’s body dissipating without a trace, it didn’t take long before Lin Feiran fell asleep.

The next morning, Lin Feiran woke up first. He looked at the clock that hung on the wall above the desk; it was ten minutes past six.

The morning sunlight shone through the curtains, bathing the room in a soft and warm tone. Outside the window the birds chirped, and students could faintly be heard walking and talking in the hall. Lin Feiran blinked and, looking at the familiar scene around him, he couldn’t help but wonder if what happened last night wasn’t real.

At this time, Gu Kaifeng’s body moved and Lin Feiran recalled that he slept the whole night while hugging Gu Kaifeng. For two young men of seventeen, every morning upon waking their bodies would have a certain involuntary reaction. This is quite natural, but because they were presently tightly hugging face-to-face, that place was also pressed together...... this kind of scene can be said to be very gay!

Lin Feiran’s cheeks flushed feverishly and he quickly and stealthily removed Gu Kaifeng’s hand that had found its way to his waist. He then carefully and cautiously retreated back to the wall and pressed his body flat against it. Afterwards, he reached out with his hand and nudged Gu Kaifeng, saying, “Wake up, it’s six-ten.”

Gu Kaifeng opened his eyes in an instant. His crystal clear gaze fell on Lin Feiran’s face without any trace of grogginess that a person who just woke would usually have.

“Morning.” Gu Kaifeng sat up. Looking at Lin Feiran who was pressed against the wall, he asked, “You didn’t sleep like that the whole night, did you?”

Lin Feiran shamelessly told a lie and replied, “I don’t know, but I should have. I don’t move around much in my sleep.”

Gu Kaifeng lowered his gaze. The corners of his lips twitched upwards before quickly being suppressed. When he raised his eyes again, he appeared perfectly composed. “How’s your cold?”

Lin Feiran gave his head a shake and stretched. Finding that he felt just fine, he replied, “I’m all better.”

Gu Kaifeng nodded and said, “Let’s go get ready and eat before our self-study class.”

After speaking, Gu Kaifeng grabbed the necessary supplies and left to wash up. Lin Feiran went to the desk to charge his phone that had automatically turned off overnight and chased after Gu Kaifeng to the water room.

In the morning, the water room was crowded. All the faucets in Gu Kaifeng’s row were already taken, so Lin Feiran had to search for an unoccupied tap in another row. He quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, fearing that any moment he would start to see ghosts again.

The water room consisted of two elongated sinks lined with faucets that ran the length of the walls. Above each was a long mirror the students could use to fix their appearance while washing. While brushing his teeth, Lin Feiran raised his head, toothbrush in mouth, and looked nervously in Gu Kaifeng’s direction through the mirror in front of him, wanting to make sure that his human-shaped protective talisman was still there.

Lin Feiran didn’t expect that when he looked, he’d surprisingly find Gu Kaifeng’s reflection staring back at him!

The two people’s eyes met through the mirror.

Gu Kaifeng’s mouth was full of white toothpaste foam as he squinted at the Lin Feiran through the mirror.

Lin Feiran was panicking and he stared blankly as an incomprehensible feeling arose within him. His hand trembled and the cup he was holding fell into the sink. Lin Feiran rushed to scoop it up but right at that moment, the familiar chill struck him again without warning. In the blink of an eye, the running water became a sickly thick, red blood. The bloated ghost of a drowned person lay in the long sink, the strands of his full head of black hair floating and intertwining in the bloody water, just like gently swaying water plants. Lin Feiran’s hand shook uncontrollably, his eyes watching unblinkingly as the cup he used to rinse his mouth floated through the head of the transparent water ghost and all the way down to his feet.

At this time, the water ghost opened his rotten mouth and lazily yawned, then turned over and scratched his ass.

This obviously looks like he’s sleeping in!

Lin Feiran: “......”

I will never use this cup again in my lifetime!

Lin Feiran, who had already been scared three times by ghosts, had prepared his mind. He resolutely resisted screaming in front of his schoolmates and, with a pale face, turned his head to look in Gu Kaifeng’s direction.

Several female ghosts with dishevelled hair and deathly pale faces surrounded Gu Kaifeng. Striving to outdo one another, they were screaming, “Adonis, I want to give birth to your babies!” A particularly shameless ghost was even using an invisible hand to rub Gu Kaifeng’s abs!

On the one hand, Lin Feiran was so scared that his eyes were brimming with tears while on the other, he was unexpectedly feeling slighted!

Shit, why are even the female ghosts chasing after Gu Kaifeng ah, do I really look that much worse than him!?

Lin Feiran’s original intention in looking over was to get to Gu Kaifeng and dissolve the Yin Yang eyes, but a second thought occurred to him: didn’t he want to test if he could do the same with others? As a result, Lin Feiran resisted the impulse to dash to Gu Kaifeng and instead smoothly rubbed the head of the little fatty to his left!

Little Fatty: “......”

Lin Feiran: “......Morning.”

There was no effect! The water ghost in the sink had even started to snore!

Lin Feiran then patted the shoulder of the lanky dude to his right and said with a trembling voice, “Morning.”

The lanky dude nodded and replied, “Morning.”

But the effect of the Yin Yang eyes still hadn’t disappeared!

Lin Feiran was afraid and anxious and his sanity started to slip away. The two people beside him were useless, so Lin Feiran wanted to hurry and touch the male students who were washing at the other end of the sink. The students on this floor were all in their second year of high school, and many of them were Lin Feiran’s classmates. Even the ones he didn’t know by name were familiar faces he often saw in the corridors. Lin Feiran steeled himself to do something insane: clapping the male students on the shoulders one by one and greeting them! But, even after touching seven people, there wasn’t any effect at all!

Fuck, it didn’t work! Don’t tell me it’ll only work with Gu Kaifeng! Then, what am I supposed to do from now on ah!? While Lin Feiran was feeling desperate and screaming internally, Gu Kaifeng, who had finished washing in the opposite row, quickly approached him with a sullen face. His imposing manner looked a little scary. Lin Feiran innocently stared at him and at the four ghostly fangirls behind him with wide eyes.

Holding down Lin Feiran’s naughty little claw, Gu Kaifeng asked in a low voice, “What are you doing?”
