Don't You Like Me

Chapter Ch35 - Really Really Loves You.

Translator: Melimeli, Editor: kayli, Pyrrhae

The little sticky cake Lin Feiran usually spent the weekend sticking to Gu Kaifeng and staying at his home. Before visiting, he would go to the jewelry store next to the school to buy some girly hair ornaments for Xia Xia. Xia Xia’s fondness for Lin Feiran soared, and as soon as Lin Feiran appeared, he would immediately stick solely to him.

This little brother-in-law can be very easily bought!

On Sunday afternoon, Gu Kaifeng’s father, an extremely busy man who seldom had time for leisure, drove them back to school. In the car, Lin Feiran opened his phone’s memo and looked at his shopping list. Politely, he asked, “Uncle, when we pass by the wholesale market later, please stop. I want to do some shopping.”

Gu Kaifeng’s father nodded, “Sure.”

“Thank you, Uncle,” Lin Feiran said with a sweet voice.

Gu Kaifeng could not stay still when he heard the soft tone Lin Feiran used when he spoke politely. He pretended to look down at his phone, but his other hand easily slipped inside Lin Feiran’s clothes and pinched his waist.

Lin Feiran, who was caught off-guard, let out a yelp when pinched.

Gu Kaifeng’s father looked into the rearview mirror. Gu Kaifeng quickly retracted his hand and asked Lin Feiran with concern, “What’s wrong?”

What a great performance!

Lin Feiran gritted his teeth and kept smiling. Playing along with Gu Kaifeng’s act, he said, “It’s alright. I just remembered that I forgot to solve an important problem in my math homework.”

Gu Kaifeng responded with a serious face, “Then you should get back to school so you can finish it quickly.”

Lin Feiran glared fiercely at him, but his voice remained soft. “Yeah, I know.”

Gu Kaifeng nearly hurt himself suppressing his laughter. How terrible.

Lin Feiran and the others were passing by the most comprehensive wholesale market in the city. The market was divided into several areas, which were further divided into even smaller sections. The variety of goods for sale was quite extensive; it was claimed that anything could be bought here except for houses and cars.

The things that Lin Feiran wanted to buy were rather peculiar, so he didn’t want Gu Kaifeng to see. In order to prepare for being alone for the next two to three hours, Lin Feiran took a bottle of water from his bag and unscrewed the cap. He proffered it to Gu Kaifeng with faked concern, “Are you thirsty? Want a drink?”

Gu Kaifeng shot a glance at the newly opened bottle of water in Lin Feiran’s hands and drawled, “Not thirsty.”

Gu Kaifeng’s father, who had been silently following the interplay in the back: “......”

How did my son become so reluctant to drink a mouthful of water recently?

In fact, for Lin Feiran, the best way to absorb Yang energy was to pilfer small items of Gu Kaifeng’s like stationery. However, the frustrating thing was that Gu Kaifeng had recently started to notice that his stuff was inexplicably somehow always going missing. As this was something Lin Feiran was in a position to have done, Gu Kaifeng asked him at one point if he had stolen them.

Lin Feiran answered bitterly, “How could I possibly do something like that!?”

Gu Kaifeng laughed, “You really didn’t?”

Lin Feiran cried grievously, “Really! Didn’t! Do! It!”

Gu Kaifeng calmly stared at him. Lin Feiran’s eyes had lived up to expectations and began to shift. However, his mouth defended himself pridefully as he said, “Am I that kind of person, ah? Is it because my uniform got dirty during the mid-term exam and I took your uniform without your permission? That doesn’t mean I’ll take something else ah...”

Gu Kaifeng did not reply. He laughed softly and stopped asking.

Although Gu Kaifeng did not bring it up anymore, he was much more vigilant than before. After questioning Lin Feiran, Gu Kaifeng would always notice when Lin Feiran took a pen or a book secretly. He would look everywhere and would not give up until he found it. Therefore, Lin Feiran’s stealing habits dwindled a lot over the past two days. He relied primarily on sticking to Xia Xia to absorb Yang energy instead.

Before returning to school today, Gu Kaifeng gathered up his things carefully. He packed with the appearance of a property confiscator from ancient times, putting things slowly in his bag one at a time. He purposely dragged out his pronunciation, elongating his speech, “One XX brand dark blue gel pen —— one XX series Maths reference book —— one Chemistry notebook with black cover and gold title —— a 2B pencil... Hey, I remember I had one more pen, where did it go?”

Lin Feiran was so angry that he grinded his teeth. He took the pen out of his bag and stealthily put it back on Gu Kaifeng’s desk.

There was really no chance to take anything!

Without an alternative, Lin Feiran had to think hard of a solution for himself.

Even if he could steal nothing else, he could still steal saliva, and the effect was actually even better...

The car stopped at the intersection in front of the wholesale market. Gu Kaifeng’s father told his son, “Kaifeng, go with Feiran. I’ll stop by the road and wait for you both.”

Just as Gu Kaifeng was about to get out of the car, Lin Feiran refused, “No need to wait for me, Uncle. I want to shop around, so I’ll be very slow. You can take Kaifeng back to school first, and I will take a taxi after I’m finished.”

Gu Kaifeng clicked his tongue in irritation. “Let’s go together.”

“Really no need, you go back to school first.” Lin Feiran was carrying the bag that contained the holy water and he felt especially fearless.

The stickiness of this little sticky cake had been getting less lately...

Maybe it is going to go bad soon! Quickly, eat it!

Gu Kaifeng was pulled away by his father with a disgruntled face, and Lin Feiran headed to the section that sold children’s goods first.

Five minutes later, Lin Feiran took out from his bag the water bottle from which Gu Kaifeng had drunk. He unscrewed the bottle cap, looked at the mouth of the bottle for a few seconds, and then, like a downright pervert, stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked it at lightning speed.

The moment after he licked it, Lin Feiran, who stood in the middle of a very busy market, blushed like a small tomato.

AAAAAH I’m really someone with no lower limit ah! Lin Feiran flung the water bottle back inside his bag with all his might.

Lin Feiran spent more than an hour in the wholesale market. He bought a kid’s ball, a furry rabbit plushie that he liked, and a Barbie doll. He also bought a few hair clips, a big bag of fruit jelly candies, biscuits, chocolates, and other various children’s snacks. Finally, he bought a big stack of yellow papers, two bundles of incense sticks, and a small incense burner.

Afterwards, Lin Feiran hailed a taxi at the entrance of the market and went back to school. It was five o’ clock, and rush hour. The traffic jam was so bad that the half-an-hour trip took an hour.

Since being separated from his Yang energy battery that afternoon, Lin Feiran had already used the water bottle three times to suppress his Yin-Yang eyes. There were about another five or six minutes before he could reach the school gate safely, but the Yin energy in his body did not cooperate and began to rouse. A sudden chill came over his entire body once again. Lin Feiran, who had been holding the water bottle all this time, quickly unscrewed the cap and took a drink. However, the feeling of being instantly surrounded by warm Yang energy did not happen, probably because the leftover Yang energy from Gu Kaifeng’s saliva on the bottle had been depleted.

Lin Feiran unwillingly stuck out the tip of his red tongue and carefully licked around the mouth of the bottle. But he still could not get even a tiny bit of Yang energy; it only resulted in him looking like a bigger pervert!

Forget it. It’s time for some courage, thought Lin Feiran. Recapping the bottle, he put it back into his bag and lifted his trembling eyes, looking straight ahead...

When Lin Feiran had entered the taxi, he had taken his three big plastic bags of purchases and sat in the back seat for convenience. Originally, no one was sitting in the passenger’s seat, so after his Yin-Yang eyes became active he was horrified to see a woman there.

To be precise, it was a female ghost...

The female ghost’s appearance was not too terrifying, although from the first glance it was obvious she was not alive. She had a haggard, sickly face, but at least she had both her arms and legs and her face was free from blood. She was very attractive for a ghost. The female ghost wore a long skirt and had a head full of long, straight, jet-black hair. She appeared to be about 34 or 35 years old. She looked like she would have been the gentle and elegant type when she was alive.

Lin Feiran secretly watched the ghost without moving, and did not feel too afraid. The female ghost also sat still and did nothing — she only put her transparent hand on top of the driver’s that was gripping the gearshift. The female ghost wore a simple wedding ring on her ring finger, but her finger was as thin as a straw. The ring dangled on it, swinging back and forth as if it would fall off at any time.

Lin Feiran peeked over at the driver’s left hand on the steering wheel and saw that he also wore a modest wedding ring with the same pattern.

Suddenly, the ghost opened her mouth and complained in a soft tone, “Drive slower. It was very dangerous just now.”

Lin Feiran: “......”

The driver really was driving a little too fast.

The taxi arrived at the school’s entrance and came to a stop.

The driver pointed to the fee meter and extended his hand to the back seat.

Lin Feiran took out the right amount of money and stuffed it into the driver’s hand. He hesitated to get out of the taxi. As he pushed the taxi door open a little, he summoned up the courage to face the driver and stammer, “Ex-, excuse me, have you ever been married before? And did your wife die of illness?”

The driver was startled for a moment. Two thick eyebrows tightly scrunched up as he asked gruffly, “What do you mean?”

Lin Feiran made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said, “Was your wife slim and pale? Did she have a mole at the left corner of her mouth, monolids, a high nose bridge, and hair 5 centimeters past her shoulders? She liked to wear a grass-green dress, a wedding ring on her finger exactly the same as yours, and liked to always keep her hair tucked behind her ears?”

“What the hell...” The driver did not deny it and sat there with his mouth open. The cigarette he had just bit fell out and he said, “You... You know my wife?”

The female ghost who was sitting in the passenger’s seat turned her head and looked gently back at Lin Feiran.

Lin Feiran and the female ghost stared at each other face to face for a moment, then she opened her mouth and began to speak...

“In the future, you should smoke less. Two packs a day are too many, keep it to no more than one pack a day,” Lin Feiran fired out at lightning speed, “Drive slower and don’t rush constantly. Xiao Hua isn’t talking these days because he failed his exam, so he is afraid. It’s not a rebellious phase, so don’t scold him all the time. If you have free time, go to the hospital for a checkup. In the last six months, you’ve been snoring a lot when you sleep. Also that... that...” Lin Feiran rubbed his nose, hesitated for a moment, and said uncomfortably, “She has never told you this before, because she thought that it would be embarrassing to say... She loves you, she really really loves you.”

Afterwards Lin Feiran ran for his life, leaping out of the back seat of the taxi with his three full plastic bags. He immediately dashed towards the school’s main entrance. The images of ghosts flickered past along the way.

After running for a while, Lin Feiran did not dare to run anymore. He had run into several ghosts while sprinting. Now that his Yin-Yang eyes were active, he could feel it when he bumped into ghosts. The pain from the chill was unbearable and caused his entire body to ache.

Lin Feiran also could not help but worry that the driver would come and kill him. He stopped and kneeled while gasping for air, took his phone out of his pants pocket, and called Gu Kaifeng. While waiting several seconds for him to pick up, Lin Feiran looked up in the direction where the taxi driver had stopped his car. The taxi was still parked there. The driver had not aggressively come to kill him, but he had not driven away either.

Gu Kaifeng’s voice came through the phone. “Hey, baby.”
