Translator: reiyu, Editor: Pyrrhae

Lin Feiran’s eyes misted over and looked especially bright. He carefully stroked the pair of shoes as he would a fragile treasure, then took a deep breath to steady his voice. “How did you know I like this model of sneakers?”

Gu Kaifeng laughed and said, “Because I noticed that every time I wore this model, you looked at me like you wanted to eat me.”

Lin Feiran felt a burst of embarrassment. “Was I so obvious...”

“This face of yours—it can’t hide anything.” Gu Kaifeng pinched Lin Feiran’s cheek, turned around, and pulled out his own pair of that same model of sneakers. He urged Lin Feiran, “Try them on. In the future, we’ll be wearing lovers’ shoes.”

“Mm!” Lin Feiran nodded vigorously.

In order not to tarnish this sacred pair of limited edition shoes, the little prince Lin, who did not dirty socks even if he wore them for three days in a row, now specially changed them before excitedly placing the shoes on his feet. Gu Kaifeng sat beside him and changed into his matching sneakers. The synchronicity of their movements was basically 100 percent.

Wearing his new shoes, Lin Feiran placed his feet on the floor. Gu Kaifeng followed his movements and also put his feet on the floor.

Lin Feiran joyfully crossed one leg over the other knee to admire his shoes. Gu Kaifeng also followed, and joyfully crossed his legs above the knee and looked at his shoes.

Lin Feiran was amused by this, but after some of his excitement had abated, he felt uneasy and prompted, “That, this pair of shoes must have been expensive, ba...”

Gu Kaifeng pretended to be in pain, and made an exaggerated grimace. “Of course. That guy knew that I couldn’t get these anywhere else and increased the price like his life depended on it. It took one month of my living expenses.”

Lin Feiran was terribly moved. He ardently patted Gu Kaifeng on the shoulder. “Then this month, I’ll support you!”

“No need.” Gu Kaifeng took advantage of the hand on his shoulder to grab it and give it a kiss. “I haven’t even finished spending my allowance from last month, and the month before that, and the month before that...”

Lin Feiran: “......”

Though Lin Feiran was in essence a little prince too, his family was very strict and did not give him an excessive allowance for living expenses. If he had bought this pair of shoes himself, he would have had to tighten his belt for several months. How could he do as Gu Kaifeng did, and just buy them because he wished it?

Gu Kaifeng is such a good person! I went so far as to be jealous of him over such a trivial thing before. How truly contemptible. If not for the Yin-Yang eyes, I might never have known how good he is... Lin Feiran, who had been mercilessly taken down by sugar-coated bullets, now painfully reflected on his past petty deeds.

“I originally wanted to buy red roses, but I felt that lilies suit you better.”Gu Kaifeng got up to retrieve the bouquet of flowers, and pushed them into Lin Feiran’s arms. Complemented by the flowers, Lin Feiran’s clean and pale face shone brighter.

White lilies had many meanings in the language of flowers, and one of them was “pure love”...

However, Gu Kaifeng’s love was not only impure, it was even a little dirty!

At the upper left corner was “To the little sticky cake Lin Feiran” and at the bottom right was “Your deskmate Gu Kaifeng”. In the middle was the large paragraph of words Gu Kaifeng had said to Lin Feiran in the dorm a few days ago when he confessed his feelings. He had added another few lines and praised Lin Feiran to high heaven. Lin Feiran meticulously read the love letter word by word. He was so overjoyed he could not stop himself from smiling widely, his cheeks glowing red.

“Do you still remember before, when I said this color ink is pretty suitable for writing love letters?” Gu Kaifeng asked.

“I remember,” Lin Feiran said, his gaze drifting restlessly towards his school bag. Somewhat awkwardly, he said, “I still have the ‘love letter’ you wrote to me when you were testing the color...”

“Really?” A dangerous glint appeared in Gu Kaifeng’s eyes.

“More accurately, I forgot to throw it away.” Out of habit, Lin Feiran said something hard-headed.

He got up and pulled out the simple and crude ‘love letter’ from the side pocket of his bag. The letter was folded several times, and it had been left in the bag for so long that the corners were feathered from wear. Lin Feiran unfolded the letter that only had the salutation and the signature, lined it up with Gu Kaifeng’s new love letter, carefully folded them, and put them back in the envelope together.

Throughout this whole process Gu Kaifeng watched him closely, his gaze like that of a dog hungry for meat.

“What are you looking at me like that for?” Lin Feiran put the envelope into his desk drawer. When he turned back and met Gu Kaifeng’s eyes, he became worried. Reflexively, he wanted to cover his butt!

Gu Kaifeng had been frustrated by Lin Feiran’s oblivious flirting to the point that he could no longer sit still. He kept on enduring and, to calm down, walked to the desk and opened the birthday cake box, presenting the last surprise—

In the box was a two-layer cake. The top of the cake was decorated with a chibi boy made of sugar. The boy wore a black suit and was sitting on a piano bench, playing the piano. The sides of the cake were decorated with curtains made of red buttercream, making it look as if the Lin Feiran was currently on stage, performing. On the chibi Lin Feiran’s head was a small crown, giving him the appearance of a true little prince. In front of the sugar piano was a thin piece of white chocolate, on which four small words were written in black chocolate sauce: ‘Baby RanRan, Happy Birthday’.

“This is you.” Gu Kaifeng pointed at the little boy.

Lin Feiran was almost knocked unconscious by the surprises that came one after the other. With shining eyes, he asked, “How come you’re not there?”

“Me?” Gu Kaifeng touched his chin and pointed to the piano bench beneath Lin Feiran’s butt. “This is me. Under your butt.”

Lin Feiran gave a smile so wide he revealed a row of little white teeth.

Gu Kaifeng felt intoxicated by it and said, “This is happiness.”

Lin Feiran: “......”

Gu Kaifeng counted out the right number of candles and stuck them on the cake, then lit them one by one with a lighter. Right after, the tone-deaf Adonis Gu had the thick skin to please his wife by singing, “Happy birthday to you, happy...”

Though he was singing, there was no tune to it! Even though he was clapping, he hit none of the beats!

Lin Feiran failed to stifle a snigger.

It was very rude, but this was his first time hearing someone sing “Happy Birthday” like a rap.

Gu Kaifeng saw him laugh, but not only did he not stop out of embarrassment, he continued to sing with even more gusto, “Happy birthday to you, oh oh oh...”

Lin Feiran laughed as he blew out the candles. He put his hands together and made a wish. Gu Kaifeng handed him the serrated cake knife and said, “Baby, cut the cake, ba.”

Lin Feiran took the knife, but then put it back down. He turned and placed his hands on Gu Kaifeng’s shoulders, forcing him to sit on the chair beside the table. His expression was resolute, like he had finally decided on something, and there was some embarrassment mixed in with the resolve.

“Close your eyes.” Lin Feiran’s voice was as gentle as an evening breeze.

Gu Kaifeng closed them obediently.

Lin Feiran was silent for a moment, his fingers playing with the hem of his shirt. “Maybe you should open them after all. The effect is better if your eyes are open.” His voice trembled.

The corner of Gu Kaifeng’s lips lifted and he opened his eyes, his steady gaze on Lin Feiran.

“No, no, I’m nervous. You’d better shut them.” Like a psychiatric patient, Lin Feiran changed his mind again, his face thoroughly red.

Gu Kaifeng immediately closed his eyes once more. He seemed to have guessed what Lin Feiran was about to do, and the rise and fall of his chest accelerated.

Lin Feiran swallowed. He aggressively caught hold of Gu Kaifeng’s chin and pulled it upwards like he was trying to break someone’s neck. This raised his neck to an uncomfortable angle, so Lin Feiran lowered Gu Kaifeng’s chin with some embarrassment, then immediately bent down and kissed him clumsily.

In the instant that their lips collided, Gu Kaifeng returned the kiss wantonly as if he had been taken over by a madness. He took Lin Feiran, who was standing in front of him, into his arms, then forced him to sit on his lap once he lost his balance. He held Lin Feiran securely by the waist with one hand, pressing on the back of his neck with the other. He tilted his face slightly and fervently kissed Lin Feiran’s lips and tongue, even giving several light, passionate bites until Lin Feiran was moaning repeatedly.

This was the first time Lin Feiran had taken the initiative to kiss him and Gu Kaifeng was so gratified he somewhat forgot himself.

So Lin Feiran, who had intended to assert his dominance, now had the initiative snatched away by Gu Kaifeng again. He was kissed until he felt dizzy and limp, and couldn’t catch his breath.

“What was I going to say...” Several minutes later, Gu Kaifeng mercifully let go of Lin Feiran, whose wits had all been kissed away. Lin Feiran stared blankly with wide eyes for a moment, then came back to himself and poked Gu Kaifeng’s chest humorlessly with a finger, calling, “Gu Kaifeng.”

As he had done that night, Gu Kaifeng answered leisurely, “I, your servant, am here.”

Lin Feiran’s breaths were coming in soft gasps as he complained, “You bent me crooked.”

Gu Kaifeng began, “You were already...”

Lin Feiran exploded, “I was straight before!”

Gu Kaifeng nodded hurriedly and agreed affectionately, “All right, all right, you were straight, you were straight.”

Lin Feiran stuck out his fingers as he counted, “My first love, first hand-holding, first sleeping together, first kiss, second kiss, and third kiss... everything has been entrusted to you.”

Gu Kaifeng said with a smile, “Me too.” After a pause, he added, “There is also still the first night. I’m telling you now, when you graduate from high school, you have to give me that too.”

“Can’t you be serious for a minute?” Lin Feiran caught hold of Gu Kaifeng’s handsome face and spoke each word fiercely, “You have to be responsible! If you bend me crooked and then run for it, I’ll make you...”

“Not possible.” Gu Kaifeng laid his head on Lin Feiran’s chest and nestled into it, then took a deep whiff of his milk and honey body wash. He murmured, “My entire life is yours. Don’t think about running, either.”

Lin Feiran nodded heavily. “Mm, it’s a deal!”

Gu Kaifeng opened his mouth and bit the button on Lin Feiran’s chest. He said, “If you dare run, I’ll chase after you. As I chase I’ll shout ‘woof woof woof’, and when I catch you I’ll bite your butt.”

It can be said that this was very in keeping with the symptoms of ‘Gu Kaifeng fever’!

Lin Feiran suddenly wanted to laugh again.

“RanRan, do you acknowledge me as your boyfriend?” Gu Kaifeng seized the opportunity and struck while the iron was hot.

Lin Feiran rubbed the tip of his nose and said with some embarrassment, “...Mm.”

With ill intentions, Gu Kaifeng pressed, “Then shouldn’t we do something to celebrate our first official day as a couple?”

Lin Feiran’s eyes shone slyly and he said, “Close your eyes again.”

With an expectant expression Gu Kaifeng closed his eyes, and even consciously puckered his lips.

With a wicked smile, Lin Feiran swiped a big dollop of buttercream from the cake and without another word, he smeared it all over Gu Kaifeng’s face!
