Chapter 20
Proofreader: Akimi
Before Shi Bufan had even ‘hit’ Zhen Yuanbai, tears already appeared in his eyes and were about to drop.
Shi Bufan was a big bully. Super big fat bully. He dared to be like this to him? Sucks that he actually thought Shi Bufan was a good person. Shi Bufan didn’t move or think and he was suspicious that if he kissed him, Zhen Yuanbai would definitely accept it, not daring to resist.
Oh my. How did his parents raise a little treasure like him?
Shi Bufan felt as if his heart was clutched by a huge hand, making him feel pain and satisfaction at the same time.
He pinched his earlobes and stopped looking fierce, saying in a gentle tone, “Do you know what you should do when you see me in the future now?”
Zhen Yuanbai was confused.
“I was just mimicking what a bad guy would do, so you would know what to do in the future.” Shi Bufan moved over after seeing Zhen Yuanbai’s confused gaze. Then he said, “When you meet a bad guy who has evil intentions, you need to find something and smash his head against it. After that, whether he could move or not, just run. Run and shout for help. You can’t just cry, do you understand?”
Zhen Yuanbai glared angrily at him and said, “Besides you, no one else would do that.”
Shi Bufan couldn’t help but reach over and pull Zhen Yuanbai closer, not minding his struggle, as he said, “Who knows. After all, our Congming is so...”
Before Shi Bufan finished his words, Zhen Yuanbai grabbed a pillow and firmly hit Shi Bufan’s head. The pillow didn’t hurt, but it stunned him for a second. Taking this chance, Zhen Yuanbai ran to the other side and said, “You taught me this. Don’t come over.” f(r)eewebnovel
Shi Bufan held the pillow and looked at him for a while, exploding into laughter and he said, “You even use this trick against me, ah? Psh.”
Zhen Yuanbai kicked him and said angrily, “You can’t sleep on my bed.”
“Can’t I just squeeze in and sleep with you?” Shi Bufan said shamelessly, “We can hug each other to sleep.”
He climbed over and Zhen Yuanbai immediately said, “If you keep coming over, I’m going to call for someone.”
“...” Fine. He shouldn’t have taught him. Shi Bufan stopped and said, “Do you dare to?”
“...” Zhen Yuanbai knitted his eyebrows and glared. “Stop being like this. Why...why are you like this?”
Shi Bufan was confused too. “What exactly are you afraid of? Of your parents finding out about us or me causing you trouble after I recover my memory?”
Zhen Yuanbai’s heart thumped. Could Shi Bufan have found out he lied about being good friends with him? Zhen Yuanbai started to tug on his blankets, saying in a guilty tone, “I don’t know what you’re saying and I’m going to sleep now. If you want to sleep here, go ahead. But don’t you dare sleep on the same side as me.”
He curled himself into a ball and said in an alarmed tone, not forgetting to comfort Shi Bufan, “Don’t think too much.”
Zhen Yuanbai’s skin was smooth and delicate; Shi Bufan didn’t want to stop caressing it. It wasn’t enough for him to kiss it once, so he kissed it again, wanting to kiss Zhen Yuanbai’s lips next. However, he woke up Zhen Yuanbai accidentally and the latter pulled his blanket over his head, snuggling in. He scratched the place Shi Bufan had kissed him.
Now, he couldn’t even kiss his face.
When Zhen Yuanbai woke up, he wanted to turn around when he realized it was a bit difficult. His tired mind pondered over his situation for a few seconds before he suddenly saw the arm around his waist. He turned over with difficulty and as expected, he met Shi Bufan’s handsome face.
Shi Bufan breathed evenly and after he detected Zhen Yuanbai moving around, he slightly tightened his grip on him. Their faces immediately became much closer to one another and Shi Bufan softly said, “Good morning.”
“Good morning.” Zhen Yuanbai dryly responded, pushing Shi Bufan, but was unable to do so. Shi Bufan chuckled and hugged Zhen Yuanbai more tightly. His face was forced to be in Shi Bufan’s arms and the latter rubbed his chin against Zhen Yuanbai’s soft hair. Shi Bufan said softly, “This is a nice bed. Last night, you wanted to kick me a few times, but you weren’t able to do so right?”
Zhen Yuanbai was quite a coward in the morning, but he was very brave at night. Not only did he kick Shi Bufan, but he also punched him several times. Thankfully, Shi Bufan had hugged him tightly when he fell asleep. But even then, Shi Bufan was woken in the middle of the night a few times by Zhen Yuanbai moving around. freewebnovel .com
Zhen Yuanbai knew that he didn’t sleep steadily either. If no one looked after him, he was able to roll in bed. Zhen Yuanbai had described his situation accurately. When he was awake, there was nothing that he wasn’t scared of. But when he was asleep, there was nothing he was scared of. The moment Zhen Yuanbai was in deep sleep, he became very bold and would fight anyone trying to steal his bed.
Zhen Yuanbai struggled again and said, “Let go of me.”
“Kiss me and I’ll let go.”
Why was Shi Bufan so stubborn? Zhen Yuanbai was shy and annoyed, saying, “I won’t kiss you. Let go...you...”
Shi Bufan pecked Zhen Yuanbai’s lips and the latter’s eyes widened. He fiercely struggled and the moment Shi Bufan loosened his grip, Zhen Yuanbai immediately jumped out of bed and grabbed his basin, running out of the door.
When he went to wash his face, he rubbed his face firmly and turned around to see Shi Bufan walking to his side. Then, he quickened his pace and washed his face, running back. He changed into his school uniform and headed straight for the stairs.
Shi Bufan was slower by a step and called, “Wait for me.”
Zhen Yuanbai pretended as if he didn’t hear and ran all the way to his classroom with his backpack. After he sat down, he panted heavily and Song Mo who had just gotten breakfast outside and was walking in. When he saw this, he became stunned and then asked, “What’s the matter? There’s a ghost chasing you?”
Shi Bufan was even more terrifying than ghosts. At least, ghosts wouldn’t want to kiss him.
Zhen Yuanbai laid his head on the desk bitterly.
Ye Lian and the others had arrived very early. Qiu Jing and Ming Mai stopped acting like rascals and even buttoned up their uniforms as they walked into class. They sat down properly and both looked at Zhen Yuanbai with complicated gazes.
Like usual, Ye Lian walked in and started to play games; but even so, he couldn’t help but stare at Zhen Yuanbai too. Shi Bufan’s seat was in between the two of them and he asked, “Class monitor, why isn’t brother Shi with you?”
Zhen Yuanbai continued to lay on his head on the desk and said indifferently, “How am I supposed to know?”
They’ve gotten into a fight?
Ye Lian was a bit surprised.
Not long after Zhen Yuanbai finished talking, Shi Bufan walked in and Ye Lian gave him his breakfast. He even bought Zhen Yuanbai’s, making Shi Bufan curl the corner of his lips up. “Thank you.”
He kept his and then reached over to tug Zhen Yuanbai, making the latter shiver and knit his eyebrows. He said, “What?”
“Breakfast.” If Shi Bufan hadn’t mentioned this, Zhen Yuanbai would’ve forgotten about it. He turned around and said, “I don’t want it.”
“Really?”
“Don’t talk to me.” Zhen Yuanbai took out his earbuds out of his backpack and stuffed it in his ears, laying back down.
So, he’s really not planning to talk to him.
Ye Lian tugged Shi Bufan, but the latter didn’t look back and immediately moved away.
“What happened? You bullied him?”
Shi Bufan thought about it and said, “I guess.”
“Coax him?”
Ye Lian had a pair of discerning eyes. Without saying anything, it felt like Ye Lian knew everything already. Shi Bufan asked, “How do I coax him?”
Ye Lian held in his laugh and said, “Try giving him some money.”
Zhen Yuanbai’s phone suddenly vibrated and he looked down to see that Annoying Shi had transferred him $520. He commented: Don’t go home that early tonight. Let’s go to play basketball.
Zhen Yuanbai immediately returned the money and then deleted the two messages.
Annoying Shi transferred another $520 over and said: no one knows about us. Why are you so scared?
Zhen Yuanbai returned the money again, deleting the two messages.
Shi Bufan looked at the back of Zhen Yuanbai’s head and then looked down to text.
Annoying Shi transferred 10,000: if you don’t accept the money, I’ll let everyone know about us.
Zhen Yuanbai’s heart thumped and he turned around to look, knitting his eyebrows and looking down again. What happened between us?
Annoying Shi replied: what do you think?
What am I supposed to say? In the end, Zhen Yuanbai was still a bit guilty and didn’t know how to reply when Annoying Shi replied again: it’s almost time for the morning session. Quickly eat breakfast, otherwise, I will tell your parents about us.
Zhen Yuanbai suddenly sat up and turned around to see Shi Bufan smiling. He grabbed the breakfast and shoved it in his desk.
Shi Bufan leaned over and casually said, “If you don’t eat, I’ll tell your parents also.”
Song Mo kept his ears on the conversation and gradually got confused.
Zhen Yuanbai wanted to immediately break off his relation with Shi Bufan, feeling as if it wouldn’t end well. He had been avoiding Shi Bufan for the past few days, but they were still in the same classroom. Besides in class when Shi Bufan wouldn’t disturb him, whenever class was over, Shi Bufan would amuse him with jokes. Zhen Yuanbai couldn’t put up with him anymore.
When class was over, he started walking out with everyone else, but Shi Bufan had still caught him when Zhen Yuanbai arrived downstairs. The youth trapped him in the abandoned staircase corner and said, “What happened? Your parents didn’t want you to talk to me?”
“It has nothing to do with my parents.” Lately, Zhen Yuanbai had a lot on his mind and he didn’t know how to mention breaking off their relationship to Shi Bufan. He had the feeling that Shi Bufan might bash his head in after hearing this.
“Then what has it have to do with?”
Zhen Yuanbai looked complexly at Shi Bufan, wanting to talk but he ended up stopping. Shi Bufan raised his eyebrows and said, “Just tell me right away. I can share the burden with you.”
Zhen Yuanbai rubbed his palm against his body, before making out a sentence. Shi Bufan, however, didn’t hear it clearly. “Say it again.”
“Do, do you like me?” Zhen Yuanbai stared at him, his eyelashes trembling. Although Shi Bufan had given him mixed signals, he had never confessed to him. It made him look a bit shameless for asking this now. Shi Bufan glanced at the sweat on the tip of his nose and held in the urge to laugh. He moved over and pressed his head against Zhen Yuanbai’s forehead, hoarsely saying, “You finally noticed. I thought I wasn’t obvious enough.”
Zhen Yuanbai wanted to duck, but it was too late. Zhen Yuanbai felt trapped, enveloped in Shi Bufan’s deep gaze and breaths. His face slowly turned red and the response “but I don’t like you” was in his throat. He was scared of being hit but also scared that the words might hurt Shi Bufan. In the end, he tactfully and softly said, “But...I am a good friend.”
Shi Bufan chuckled lowly and held in the urge to kiss his white and delicate face, saying in a pampering tone, “Good friends? Psh. I knew a long time ago that you liked me. You used the opportunity while I lost my memory to get closer to me...Good boy, I’ll give you a chance. Call me hubby.”
