Proofreader: Akimi
Once Zhen Yuanbai confirmed that Shi Bufan wasn’t angry, he slightly nodded as if comforted.
He then glanced at the dress. Under Shi Bufan’s covetous gaze, he hesitated before walking towards the back of the mirror.
Shi Bufan suddenly sat up straight.
Ten minutes later, there was no reaction. Shi Bufan couldn’t help but go over, knocking on the mirror. “What’s the matter?”
There was a very soft voice, “I’ll let you take a look. Can I not wear this out?”
Sure. Shi Bufan didn’t want Zhen Yuanbai to wear it out and let others watch it either. He hummed in agreement and the door was immediately opened. Shi Bufan took a deep breath and the palm of his hands were sweating from excitement. He tried his best to remain calm and peeked over. Before he could see it, the door was slammed on his nose. There was a slight banging on the other side. Zhen Yuanbai had locked the door again and said, “You saw it right? I didn’t disguise myself as a girl.”
“…” Shi Bufan clutched his sore nose and said, “I didn’t see it clearly.”
“You didn’t see it clearly now, but you were able to see it clearly in your dream?”
Zhen Yuanbai’s voice was shaking as if he was trying to control something. Shi Bufan went over Zhen Yuanbai’s words, feeling as if something was wrong. He tested, “Maybe I really didn’t see it clearly.”
“Then why are you suspicious of me?”
Shi Bufan rubbed his nose and thought, saying, “What? Your voice doesn’t sound too right.”
Zhen Yuanbai almost immediately burst out. When did you recover your memory?
But he faintly had an answer in his heart. It seems like he couldn’t run away from being exposed tonight. He was certain that as long as Shi Bufan recovered his memory, he would definitely take revenge on himself. Therefore, the so-called revenge was to beat him up. But he neglected the fact that Shi Bufan had evil tricks. If he really recovered his memory and knew that he lied to him, how could he let him go so easily?
It’s very possible that Shi Bufan might keep him in suspense and search for a chance to bully himself. If he wore the dress out today, who knows whether the forums will contain pictures of him disguising as a woman tomorrow morning. Shi Bufan wouldn’t need to do anything and he will probably commit suicide from humiliation himself.
Zhen Yuanbai said annoyedly and carefully, “I wore it already.”
Shi Bufan said, “Let me see. Just another look.”
Zhen Yuanbai confirmed the fact that Shi Bufan recovered his memory and thought that he couldn’t escape from the beating. Even if he could stall for a while, he definitely wouldn’t be able to do so for his whole life. Therefore, he unlocked the door.
He guessed that Shi Bufan would definitely rush in and humiliate him. As expected, Shi Bufan was eager and rushed in. Zhen Yuanbai’s back immediately leaned against the wall and gazed at him in alarm. Shi Bufan cornered Zhen Yuanbai and he glanced at him, dazed for two seconds. “You didn’t wear it?”
“I wore it and then I took it off again.” Zhen Yuanbai said stiffly and Shi Bufan knew that something was wrong. “You’re not proving your innocence anymore. Could it be that you actually pushed me?”
Zhen Yuanbai stayed silent.
Shi Bufan couldn’t wrap his head around this until he saw Zhen Yuanbai’s teary eyes. It made him look stubborn as he refused to cry. Shi Bufan, indeed, wanted to see him wear a dress, but Zhen Yuanbai really wasn’t willing. He couldn’t bear to force Zhen Yuanbai, so he said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to. Change into something else and go out to dance?”
“I don’t know how to.”
“Let me teach you.” Shi Bufan pulled his hands and Zhen Yuanbai took a step back, saying, “I want to go home.”
Zhen Yuanbai didn’t have the courage to dance with a wolf. After knowing that Shi Bufan had lost his memory and he even hid this from him, he couldn’t help but wonder if Shi Bufan had an evil trick up his sleeve.
This was the first time that he got stood up. Zhen Yuanbai originally agreed to come out to enjoy himself, but he ended up regretting it. He didn’t know why Zhen Yuanbai suddenly got angry, and Shi Bufan was wavering between bringing Zhen Yuanbai home and staying to coax him.
Zhen Yuanbai was originally worried that Shi Bufan might stop him. Seeing that he said nothing, he made his decision. He reached over and pushed him… but he didn’t move. Therefore, he applied more strength and pushed again. Shi Bufan suddenly grabbed his hands and scrunched his eyebrows, saying, “Why are you leaving so early? There’s a lot of food outside and you never came out to enjoy yourself before.”
“I…am going home to do my homework.” Zhen Yuanbai said, “I need to study for the final exam.”
Shi Bufan said, “You’re working so hard even though you have very good grades. How do you want the grades to feel?”
“It’s fine.”
Seeing that Zhen Yuanbai was intent on leaving, Shi Bufan regretfully wanted to urged him to stay. “You really don’t want to play for a while?”
Zhen Yuanbai nodded.
Shi Bufan glanced at the dress, reluctant to part with it. He reached over and kissed Zhen Yuanbai, being lovey-dovey. “I wanted to bring you home if we stayed out too late. You’re really just going home like this, hm?”
Feeling the breath sprinkling on him, Zhen Yuanbai felt as if Shi Bufan harbored malicious intentions for kissing him. After ducking a few seconds, Shi Bufan pecked him on the lips. Zhen Yuanbai said sadly, “I stayed up the entire night and I’m too tired now.”
“You can sleep here too.”
Zhen Yuanbai was frightened and thought that he’d rather a beating over the schemes. Right then, he fiercely retorted, “Why, why are you so talkative?!”
Shi Bufan was speechless.
Did his little classmate take the wrong medicine?
Before he could react, Zhen Yuanbai suddenly pushed him and then slung the backpack over his shoulder, walking out. Shi Bufan scrunched his eyebrows momentarily before following along. Zhen Yuanbai detected the footsteps behind him and couldn’t help but to speed up. Shi Bufan caught up in two steps and before he could do anything, he saw Zhen Yuanbai leaning against the wall in fright.
Shi Bufan was speechless.
Zhen Yuanbai said sternly, “Why are you following me?”
“What else can I do?” Shi Bufan replied with an unfriendly tone, “I’m bringing you home obviously.”
The two walked out of the hotel and Zhen Yuanbai secretly gazed at him. When he looked over, he immediately shifted his gaze.
Shi Bufan shoved his hands in his pocket and slightly raised his eyebrows, asking, “Why do you look guilty? Did you do something bad?”
“You’re the one that did something bad.” Zhen Yuanbai glared at him bravely before looking away, interrogating, “Do you want to beat me up so badly?”
Shi Bufan pinched his ears and confusedly retorted, “You want a beating?”
“Nonsense.” Zhen Yuanbai said courageously, “Of course not.”
No matter how dumb Shi Bufan was, he could tell that Zhen Yuanbai was testing the edges of the water. He suddenly laughed and said, “Hey. How did I offend you?”
“You didn’t.” Besides being afraid, Zhen Yuanbai was a bit angry. Shi Bufan remembered everything, but he continued to feign innocence. He schemed too much and he doesn’t have a pure heart… After criticizing him in his heart, he thought that he wasn’t any better since he lied to Shi Bufan, saying that they were good friends. Therefore, he stayed silent.
Christmas Eve was a bit cold, but before snowflakes filled the sky, Shi Bufan suddenly reached over and tugged Zhen Yuanbai in his arms, saying, “Then why are you being so hostile?”
Zhen Yuanbai glanced at their intertwined hands, not saying anything.
He didn’t understand Shi Bufan. Since he remembered everything, how could he casually hold his hands and kiss him? Didn’t he find it awkward to be dating him? He was the culprit that made him lose his memory!
After Shi Bufan brought him home, he tugged Zhen Yuanbai in his arms and seeked kisses. Zhen Yuanbai didn’t want to kiss him, so he asked Shi Bufan, “When do you prepare to break up with me?”
Speaking of breaking up, Shi Bufan was furious. “Why do you want to break up?”
“Then why do you want to date?”
“I like you which is clearly why I want to date you.” Before waiting for a response, Shi Bufan coldly, said, “Do you dare to say that you want to break up because you don’t like me?”
“…” Zhen Yuanbai swallowed his words and glanced at him for awhile before saying, “Can I go home now?”
“You think you can leave?”
The hand around his waist tightened and Shi Bufan gazed at him, slowly saying, “You noticed?”
Zhen Yuanbai was guilty. “What, what did I notice?…”
“I thought that you’re a fool since you didn’t understand even though I said that.” Zhen Yuanbai’s face paled, but Shi Bufan lowered his head on Zhen Yuanbai’s forehead, softly chuckling. “I’ll give you face. Do you want to resolve this issue right away? Or slowly?”
Zhen Yuanbai was confused. Before he could ask the question, he was frightened by Shi Bufan’s breathing. Thankfully, Shi Bufan was kind and considerately explained, “Slowly resolve the issue means pretending like you know nothing and the same goes for me. We’ll study and date every day and live peaceful lives.”
“If we resolve this in one go… it might be a bit bloody. What do you choose?” After saying this, Shi Bufan blew on Zhen Yuanbai’s face, making the latter fear terribly. He trembled and left Shi Bufan’s arms, taking a few steps back. He clutched the straps of the backpack and leaned against the wall, legs feeling weak.
Shi Bufan felt better after scaring Zhen Yuanbai. He shook his wrist and Zhen Yuanbai trembled, tears falling down his face. He trembled, saying, “I want to slowly, slowly resolve this…”
Shi Bufan laughed right away. “You were so courageous back then and I thought you wanted me to quickly beat you up… hm, so slowly resolve the issue….”
He suddenly raised his hand and Zhen Yuanbai instinctively raised his arm to block the hit, but noticed that Shi Bufan was just placing his hand on the wall behind him. Shi Bufan licked his lips and said, “Do you dare to mention breaking up in the future?”
Zhen Yuanbai shook his head and wiped his tears, feeling at a disadvantage. He asked in a low voice, “Then when do you want to break up?”
“I don’t want to.”
Zhen Yuanbai was uncertain. “Even if we slowly resolve the issue, we can’t spend our entire lives on this right?”
Shi Bufan said with a straight face, “I am the victim. I’ll get to decide how long we spend on resolving the issue. If you have any objections, then we can resolve this in one go.”
“…” To immediately get a beating. Zhen Yuanbai wasn’t mentally prepared.
He said in a low voice, “But we are fake dating…”
Shi Bufan was uncomfortable and controlled himself, saying, “Then starting from today, we will date sincerely.”
Zhen Yuanbai gazed up, feeling confused. Shi Bufan said coldly, “As it turns out, whenever I say I like you, you don’t believe it? Then you don’t mean it as well when you said you liked me?”
Zhen Yuanbai opened his mouth and then shut it again. The tip of his nose was red and Zhen Yuanbai felt miserable. Shi Bufan became angry again and then he suddenly turned around and left.
Before Zhen Yuanbai could sigh, Shi Bufan turned around and said coldly, “I don’t care if you mean it or not. After all, I’m the victim. If I want to date you, even if it’s fake dating, you need to date me. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up and push you down the slope. I’ll kiss you until you cry… you hear me?!”
“…” Zhen Yuanbai’s face slightly reddened. Whether out of embarrassment or not, he said, “Can’t, can’t you talk properly?”
Shi Bufan stayed silent for a few seconds, staring at him and training his gaze. He gradually sighed and said, “I like you.”
“What’s this expression? I’m talking properly now! Don’t you understand?”
“…No.” Zhen Yuanbai said, “I lied to you. Why do you like me still?”
Shi Bufan exploded and said, “I would’ve long beaten you up if I knew! Do you want to cry? Let’s resolve this issue in one go. Ok?”
He clenched his fist and brought it to Zhen Yuanbai’s face. The tip of his nose was red from the wind and Zhen Yuanbai’s tears fell down his face again. “You, you’re giving me an attitude again. I already said we can slowly…oomph.”
Shi Bufan impatiently shut Zhen Yuanbai’s mouth and harshly bit him. Zhen Yuanbai trembled from the pain and he felt blood on his lips.
Zhen Yuanbai sobbed and tried his best to hold back his tears, gazed by Shi Bufan’s ferocious gaze. “Why, why did you bite me?”
“Does it hurt?”
“…”
“You can feel pain?” Shi Bufan stood up straight and said in a low voice, “How many times do I need to say before you believe that I actually like you?”
“…” Zhen Yuanbai covered his mouth and it seemed like he realized something. “Do you want me to fall in love with you, so then you can abandon me?”
“…”
“Sorry.” Zhen Yuanbai said softly, saying, “I don’t understand. You hate me in the past, so why would you suddenly like me?”
“…” Shi Bufan said nothing.
Zhen Yuanbai secretly gazed at him and he suddenly reached over and kicked him.
Shi Bufan’s face darkened and he said, “What are you doing?!”
“R-revenge.” Zhen Yuanbai pursed his lips and said, “Don’t you like me? Why are you being rude to me then?”
