The two sat face-to-face on Lin Feiran’s bed, their faces very close to each other. Gu Kaifeng was emitting some kind of restless energy from his whole body, as if he were itching to make trouble. Worried Gu Kaifeng would force a kiss on him just because of one disagreement, Lin Feiran covered his lips with his hand and avoided Gu Kaifeng’s gaze. “You go down first, let me stay here for a while by myself.”

“Alright.” Gu Kaifeng climbed down from the upper bunk happily, smiling from ear to ear. He did not look at all like someone whose confession was rejected.

Although it was true that he was rejected, Gu Kaifeng was unexpectedly enraptured by the sweetness he felt in his heart.

There was instead a more imminent problem!

Lin Feiran had wanted to go to the water room to wash his face so he could calm down and avoid Gu Kaifeng. But as if aware of his intentions, Gu Kaifeng had taken a book, sat himself on his swivel chair, and pushed off with his foot so he slid over to the door. He sat there like a Door God. This way, if Lin Feiran wanted to leave the dorm room, he would have to ask Gu Kaifeng to move. However, Lin Feiran was already too embarrassed to say anything more to Gu Kaifeng. He could only withdraw into his blanket like a little turtle into its shell. He placed the palm of his hand over his chest, trying to calm his throbbing heart.

Lin Feiran was somewhat perplexed. Logically, he should have felt uncomfortable, angry, and even nauseous after being forcefully kissed by someone of the same sex. But in fact, there was nothing; he just felt like his head had become an empty shell. There was nothing left in it but the thump, thump, thump of his wildly beating heart, which passed from his blood to his bones to echo in his hollow head.

It took a while for this wondrous feeling to disappear.

Lin Feiran lay on the bed, covered in his blanket from head to toe. He stared vacantly at the bed’s railings for a moment, then hesitantly touched his lips with his finger. As soon as they were touched, the pair of lips that were sucked by Gu Kaifeng reddened and burned. Lin Feiran felt like he was scorched by coals and retracted his hand into a fist, the fingertip that had touched his lips feeling a bit moist.

What’s the matter with me ah, why am I not angry... Lin Feiran recalled the kiss, trying to elicit “normal” reactions of disgust or dislike, but failed. Instead, his cheeks became more and more red as if he were having a high fever. His violent heartbeat that had been very difficult to soothe had also returned in a swirl of dust.

Aaaaah! How did this happen! Lin Feiran roared and punched the bedframe.

Gu Kaifeng, who had been sitting by the door reading, looked up at Lin Feiran. The scene of Lin Feiran roaring and punching the bedframe entered his eyes. To him, the effect was almost the same as a kitten meowing and using its little pink paw to swat a teaser wand cat toy.

At the same time, Lin Feiran suddenly realized that the Yin energy in his body was late in acting out. It had been about ten minutes since Gu Kaifeng had gotten off his bed, but the dorm room was still quiet, his body still nice and warm, and even his hands and feet, which were usually cold, felt warm.

Lin Feiran was perplexed. He unlocked his cell phone and took a screenshot of the home screen, recording the time. Then, he withdrew into the blankets and randomly fiddled with his phone, browsing through this and that. He typed into the search engine input box the words “How to determine your sexual orientation,” but quickly deleted it without pressing enter.

“Ai...” Lin Feiran sighed dejectedly, threw his phone aside, and stared at the ceiling.

More than twenty minutes later, Lin Feiran still hadn’t seen a single ghost.

How could this happen? Lin Feiran bit his lips. He sat cross-legged on the bed and racked his brain for an explanation.

Is it because Gu Kaifeng had been on the bed just now, so the bed can be considered “used” by him, leaving some Yang energy behind? But he didn’t even stay for more than a few minutes, is he that powerful? Or could it be... The sensation of soft lips and intertwining tongues returned to his mouth as he remembered the kiss. Lin Feiran was so embarrassed that he turned his head and bumped his forehead against the wall several times.

It can’t be the saliva!? Lin Feiran blushed. He clutched at his hair and cried silently in his heart —AAAAAH don’t want ah!

Gu Kaifeng had been sitting at the door since he got off the bed, pretending to read a book, but doing nothing. Lin Feiran, on the bed, was embarrassed half to death.

The fighting power of the little sticky cake Lin Feiran could be said to be in the negatives!

After a while, Lin Feiran calmed down with difficulty. He braced himself and climbed down from the upper bunk, walked to the door in his slippers, and cautiously said, “Excuse me, I want to go out.”

Gu Kaifeng blocked the door in his chair like a school bully. Sitting with his long legs splayed, he crossed his arms and asked, “What are you going out for?”

Lin Feiran said in a small voice, “I’m going to the toilet.”

Gu Kaifeng knocked twice on the door with his finger then pointed to his cheek and said, “This door belongs to my family. Kiss me and this big brother will let you pass.”

Lin Feiran avoided the important point and dwelled on the details. “Are you still in grade school? Can’t believe you still say ‘belongs to my family’.”

“Hey, it most likely really does belong to my family.” The corners of Gu Kaifeng’s mouth exposed a devilish grin. “The dormitory building was only renovated last year. Before the renovation, my father donated money to the school. You didn’t live here at that time, but this is an old building; it used to be very run down.”

Lin Feiran bit his lip and fell silent: “......”

“Also, the bed. Doesn’t it look new?” Gu Kaifeng pointed to the upper and lower bunks. “Maybe it was bought with my father’s money.”

Lin Feiran frowned, “What are you trying to say?”

Gu Kaifeng lowered his voice and said flirtatiously, “I am saying that you have actually been sleeping in my bed for almost two months.”

How can this guy be so utterly shameless right after his confession failed!? Lin Feiran, who urgently needed to pee, pursed his lips. He couldn’t do anything about Gu Kaifeng, who was acting like a ruffian. Moreover, it was indeed his own fault and he couldn’t really be angry at Gu Kaifeng. So, Lin Feiran could only turn around silently and take a bottle of soda that had one-fifth of its contents remaining out from his schoolbag. He unscrewed the lid and gulped down the remnants, then went to the corner dejectedly and held the bottle with his back to Gu Kaifeng.

“Hey baby, I was just joking.” Gu Kaifeng saw that Lin Feiran really felt wronged and sprang to his feet, taking the two or three steps to Lin Feiran’s corner in bounds. He grabbed the empty bottle, threw it into the trash can, and said, “I was wrong, go ahead.”

Lin Feiran let out a grunt of indignation and took his hard-won trip to the toilet. He also took the opportunity to brush his teeth and wash his face and feet, afraid that Gu Kaifeng would play the same trick again if he had to come to wash later. After washing up, he returned to the dorm room with his washbasin in hand. Coincidentally, he ran into Gu Kaifeng along the way, who was heading to the water room with his washbasin.

Lin Feiran hurriedly lowered his eyes and brushed past Gu Kaifeng, then quickly walked back to the dorm room and closed the door. He swept his eyes across the room, wanting to identify some of Gu Kaifeng’s possessions that he could hide in his blanket to ensure a good sleep.

Since he now knew that Gu Kaifeng was gay and that he was interested in him, Lin Feiran felt that he couldn’t climb into Gu Kaifeng’s bed anymore. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be like a textbook case of “the mouth saying no, but the body saying yes”? Lin Feiran imagined the scene of him climbing into Gu Kaifeng’s bed right after having rejected him, and even he thought that it would seem as if he wanted to have his chrysanthemum violated.

Lin Feiran first took two pens and a notebook from Gu Kaifeng’s desk, then quickly shoved them under his pillow on the upper bunk. It was his first time in his life being a ‘thief,’ so his heart was beating very fast. After that, his eyes fell on the basin rack in the corner of the room. There were spaces for four basins on the rack. The upper two were for Gu Kaifeng and Lin Feiran’s washbasins, and the lower two were for their laundry basins.

Usually, when changing out of their clothes, dirty articles wouldn’t be washed immediately. They would first throw them into the laundry basin, then wait until they had free time to wash them. In Gu Kaifeng’s laundry basin, there was a set of Gu Kaifeng’s ‘original’ school uniform, comprised of the trousers, jacket, and shirt...

Shouldn’t the Yang energy in clothes worn next to the skin be heavier than in things like pens or books? Lin Feiran’s eyes suddenly shone brighter and brighter. Like a horny pervert, he rushed to pick up the close-fitting white shirt from the laundry basin. He hesitated for a moment, afraid that the Yang energy wouldn’t be enough and that ghosts would scare him to death in the middle of the night. He took the trousers as well. In any case, Gu Kaifeng would not be washing his clothes at this time. He could just secretly return them in the morning.

After taking the clothes, the sticky-cake thief snuck his way up to the upper bunk with the clothes in his arms. He stuffed the two pieces of clothing beneath his blanket and then lay down to play on his phone as if nothing had happened.

If there is enough Yang energy left in Gu Kaifeng’s things, there will be no need to climb into Gu Kaifeng’s bed anymore! Lin Feiran thought with glee.

At this time, Gu Kaifeng pushed open the door and came in. He stared in slight shock at Lin Feiran, who was lying on the upper bunk, ready to sleep. Putting his washbasin on the basin rack, he asked, “You’re not coming down to sleep?”

Lin Feiran firmly shook his head and waved his hand like in a revolutionary pictorial in the newspaper. “I’m not going!”

“Oh,”Gu Kaifeng replied with an indifferent tone. He immediately turned around, climbed up to Lin Feiran’s upper bunk, and said in an incomparably natural way, “Then I’ll be coming up to sleep .”

“Wait wait!” Lin Feiran’s face was as full of horror as if he had seen a ghost. Gu Kaifeng had come up so suddenly that he didn’t have the time to move the shirt and trousers from beneath the blanket! “I didn’t agree that you could come up...”

However, Gu Kaifeng had already forced himself into Lin Feiran’s bed. He smiled faintly and said, “Do we have to ask for permission to sleep together? In the past, you didn’t seem to have to ask for my permission ah.”

Lin Feiran was so nervous that cold sweat ran down his back. He quickly shoved Gu Kaifeng’s shirt and trousers into the corner against the wall.

“What are you fiddling with?” Gu Kaifeng suddenly flung off the blankets. Startled and with his eyebrows raised high, his eyes flashed with a mischievous light as he stared at Lin Feiran and said, “Baby, whose school uniform is this?”

Lin Feiran: “......”
