Ch22 - I Am Humankind's Best Boyfriend.


It was almost nine o’clock when the two reached Gu Kaifeng’s home. Gu Kaifeng’s parents were both home that day and were sitting on the living room sofa while waiting for their son.

Gu Kaifeng pulled Lin Feiran inside, who then politely greeted Gu Kaifeng’s parents.

When Lin Feiran was a child, his parents often took him along to their meetings; therefore, he learned to be easy-going when speaking with strangers and didn’t feel shy. On top of that, his mannerisms were elegant and he was well-behaved, so he was popular among elders. This benefited him now, and he made a very good impression on Gu Kaifeng’s parents.

The pair chatted with Gu Kaifeng’s parents in the living room for a while before Gu Kaifeng said earnestly,“Mom, Dad, Lin Feiran and I are going to go upstairs to do homework.”

“Go, don’t overdo it, and sleep early,” Gu Kaifeng’s mom said happily.

With a pure and honest face, Gu Kaifeng replied, “Alright.”

“The guest rooms are cleaned everyday,”his mother added, “When you’re tired from studying, take Lin Feiran to the room on the second floor that faces the sun.”

Gu Kaifeng was startled by her words. “I know, Mom,”he said, hurrying to end the converstion.

Lin Feiran was also shocked, “......”

Last week, who was it that said the guest room hadn’t been cleaned for such a long time that it was covered in a layer of dust!?

Gu Kaifeng seemed aware of how Lin Feiran was cursing internally, and glanced at him with a half-guilty and half-ambiguous expression. With his schoolbag in one hand and Lin Feiran’s wrist clamped in the other, Gu Kaifeng dragged him to the second floor. Xia Xia chased after them in high spirits.

Once they entered the second floor study, Lin Feiran shook off Gu Kaifeng’s hand awkwardly and accused, “Last time, didn’t you say...”

Gu Kaifeng pushed one hand against the wall behind Lin Feiran and pursed his lips. His eyes shone as he said bluntly, “I lied.”

Lin Feiran met Gu Kaifeng’s gaze and felt panicked. He thought that the mood was wrong somehow. He escaped by squatting to pick up Xia Xia; petting him, Lin Feiran mumbled in a small voice, “Do you have nothing else to do ah, what are you lying to me for...”

Without giving Gu Kaifeng a chance to reply, Lin Feiran quickly retrieved a small accessory from his pocket and shook it before Xia Xia’s eyes. He gushed, “Did you see what big brother brought for you?”

The accessory was an elastic hair tie that Lin Feiran had conveniently bought while window-shopping with Gu Kaifeng. It had a small sparkly bone ornament on the front that glittered brightly in the light.

He wants to wear the new hair tie!

“Doesn’t this big brother have a good eye for this?” Lin Feiran laughed and put the new hair tie on Xia Xia. Xia Xia bubbled with excitement and ran to the corridor so he could show off in front of a mirror. Lin Feiran got up to follow him, but Gu Kaifeng grabbed him to stop him.

“Where are you running off to?” Gu Kaifeng asked with amusement. “Come, let’s do our homework.”

He had almost acted on his impulse just now, but considering his parents were still in the living room downstairs, it really wasn’t a good time to lay his cards on the table. This time, he’d let Lin Feiran go.

With the intention of behaving well in front of Gu Kaifeng’s parents, the two did their homework in the study until eleven o’clock. During this time, Gu Kaifeng’s mom was very pleased to come upstairs and bring them a midnight snack. She gave Lin Feiran a few sentences of praise, and while she was speaking, Gu Kaifeng rubbed his foot along Lin Feiran’s calf underneath the desk, a calm expression on his face. Lin Feiran blushed hard. Gu Kaifeng’s mom thought that this child had a shy and sincere personality, and liked him even more.

“I see that my mom likes you a lot,” Gu Kaifeng said after his mom went back downstairs, his naughty foot continuing to rub Lin Feiran under the table.

Lin Feiran pulled his leg back, gnashed his teeth, and said, “You’ve been rubbing for a long time, do you have ADHD ah?”

“Between us, who usually has ADHD, hmm?” Gu Kaifeng reached out a hand and pinched Lin Feiran’s slim waist. His eyes fell onto Xia Xia who was nestled in Lin Feiran’s arms and he said bitterly, “I’ve noticed that since you arrived at my house, you’ve been ignoring me. Is it better to be with a dog than with me?”

Lin Feiran was calm as he replied, “Isn’t this your little brother? Besides, the dog is humankind’s best friend.”

Gu Kaifeng revealed a naughty smile and said, “Then, I am humankind’s best boyfriend.”

“I’m not talking to you.” Lin Feiran looked at Gu Kaifeng and felt his head become dizzy. He quickly got up and said, “I’m sleepy. I’m going to shower then sleep.”

Gu Kaifeng took Lin Feiran back to his bedroom. He handed him new pajamas and underwear and said, “These are your size.”

“Who bought them?” Lin Feiran asked as he took them.

Gu Kaifeng pointed to himself with his thumb. “I called the housekeeping auntie and asked her to buy them.”

Lin Feiran felt warm inside. His fingers subconsciously fiddled with the buttons on the pajamas as he said softly, “Thanks.”

“No need to thank me.” Gu Kaifeng pulled Lin Feiran by the shoulder and turned him around, then took the opportunity to pat his ass, just like he did during the Arts Festival. He said in a low voice, “Go shower, then go to the guest room at the south end of the second floor to sleep. Won’t you be scared?”

Lin Feiran’s body went stiff. He hastily covered his rear and took a few steps forwards, then asked, “Why would I be scared?”

On the contrary, in the guest room he could sleep while holding Xia Xia!

It’s not scary at all!

All the same, he ended the battle within five minutes. When Lin Feiran came out from the bathroom, he petted Xia Xia who had been waiting loyally for him by the bathroom door.

That’s right, after Lin Feiran gave the sparkly bone hair tie to Xia Xia, he had quickly surpassed the second ranked Gu Kaifeng and the the third ranked housekeeping auntie in Xia Xia’s heart. In an instant he had flown to first place, right beside Gu Kaifeng’s mom and dad!

After all, Gu Kaifeng only came home once a week and he didn’t buy him small gifts, so his degree of intimacy with Xia Xia was a little bit worse.

After petting Xia Xia, Lin Feiran went to blow-dry his hair. He then moved the dog’s toilet, toy, food bowl, and water bowl into the guest room. Finally, pleased with himself, he got into bed and hugged his husband’s very very gay younger brother beneath the blankets.

It can be said that public morals are degenerating extraordinarily with each passing day, to the point of moral bankruptcy!

Half an hour later, Gu Kaifeng got up from his bed and walked silently in the dark towards Lin Feiran’s guest room. Over the past half month, he had gotten used to sleeping with Lin Feiran. Without the little sticky cake in his bed, he felt a little lonely.

It was also exciting to think about crawling into someone’s bed in the dead of night to mount a sneak attack and the like!

Gu Kaifeng’s eyes shone as he reached Lin Feiran’s door. He pressed down the door handle and pushed the door... but it was locked.

Gu Kaifeng did not give up his evil intentions and lightly knocked on the door for a little while. In a tone of voice so tender it could drown someone, he called, “Feiran, open the door.”

However, Lin Feiran had already fallen into a deep sleep while hugging Xia Xia.

“......” Gu Kaifeng hesitated for a moment. He didn’t dare to shout; after all, his parents had gone upstairs and he did not know if they were asleep or not.

As a result, the most handsome boy in the school had to make his way back in the dark pitifully.

The Gu family’s ancestors, who were hidden in the dark, expressed their grievances in succession: “......”

The sole heir of nine generations of the Gu family was going down the wrong path!

The next morning, Lin Feiran was licked awake by Xia Xia. He checked the time on his cell phone and saw that it was half past six. He could sleep for longer, but when he thought about what he wanted to do that day, his drowsiness vanished.

He got out of bed and opened the door; nobody else was awake. The housekeeping auntie hadn’t come yet, and the whole house was quiet. Lin Feiran walked noiselessly to the bathroom and washed his face. Afterwards, he carried Xia Xia in his arms and went to the study to do homework. He worked until 8:30, at which point he went downstairs to eat with Gu Kaifeng.

After breakfast, Lin Feiran pulled Gu Kaifeng back to his bedroom and closed the door. He asked furtively, “Uh... Today, what do Uncle and Aunt plan on doing?”

“They have business to take care of at the company; they’ll be heading out this morning.” Gu Kaifeng inclined his head slightly to gaze at Lin Feiran. With his eyelids lowered, his eyelashes looked especially long. He said, “My mom will come back at noon. She’ll take us out to shop and eat, so she said we should finish our homework in the morning.” Gu Kaifeng paused and deliberately added, “I rarely invite friends home, so my mother wants to pamper you.”

Lin Feiran was overwhelmed by the favor and waved his hands as he said, “No need, no need! Aunt is too courteous. I have something to do and plan to go out soon, and probably won’t be back by noon.”

Gu Kaifeng smiled faintly. “What is it? I’ll go with you. It’s okay to come back a little late as well, my mom will be free from noon on.”

“No need.” Lin Feiran raised his head a little, shooting Gu Kaifeng an ingratiating smile. Like a little hamster, he blinked his bright black eyes as he spoke in a velvety voice, “The most outstanding, the most dashing, the most charming classmate — the most handsome boy in the school — I want to ask you for a favor...”

Gu Kaifeng gulped. Bewitched by Lin Feiran’s charm, his brain malfunctioned. “Agreed. Say it.”

Lin Feiran’s eyes lit up. He felt relieved and said, “I wanted to borrow Xia Xia for the day. I’ll take him out to play.”

Gu Kaifeng’s eyebrows rose. Slightly puzzled, he asked, “That’s it?”

Lin Feiran nodded, “That’s it. I’ll definitely bring him back before we leave for school in the evening. Don’t worry, he won’t be missing any fur.”

Gu Kaifeng looked a little unhappy. “If you’re just going to take Xia Xia out to play, why can’t I go with you?”

“There’s really no need.” Lin Feiran calmly proceeded to seal off all of Gu Kaifeng’s routes for escape. “You haven’t done much of your homework yet. I got up at 6:30 this morning to do mine. Moreover, Aunt hasn’t seen you for half a month. It would be bad if I spirited you away for all of Sunday. It’s too much ah, you should properly accompany Aunt this afternoon. Don’t mind me.”

Gu Kaifeng had to agree. His mom is usually very busy, and it would be bad if he went out with a classmate instead of spending part of the day with her. It would easily lower her impression of Lin Feiran.

Gu Kaifeng impatiently ground his teeth, and in his dissatisfaction he reached out to press his hand against the door behind Lin Feiran. In a grave voice, he said, “You’re not going on a date, are you?”

“No! Do you think that’s possible!?” This subject made Lin Feiran simply want to cry. “I’m with you 24 hours a day, wouldn’t you know if I’m dating someone?”

Gu Kaifeng stared blankly then replied happily, “That’s true.”

“Not possible, ah.” Lin Feiran had just instinctively refuted Gu Kaifeng’s assumption, but after denying it, he felt somewhat stupid. With an adorkable expression, he said to himself, “Why did I have to answer so seriously...”

“What are you saying?” Gu Kaifeng questioned in an undertone. He took a step forward and pressed his leg against Lin Feiran’s. Then, supporting himself on the arm that was braced against the door behind Lin Feiran, he used his other hand to tilt up Lin Feiran’s chin. He leaned his head forward a little, wanting to have it out with Lin Feiran, but...
