Chapter 61 – The Cold and Lonely Top Student VS The School Bully Little Wolf Dog (10)
From the moment the other side aggressively approached, intruding into his life with bold moves, something had already changed.
At this moment, Qi Changfeng felt fortunate that Mu Jin was already asleep, as he could then avoid sensing his own nervousness.
In the dim light of the night, the young man carefully observed Mu Jin’s appearance. He found that the little guy in his arms was indeed very handsome, with bright cat-like eyes currently tightly closed.
The butterfly-like eyebrows, the slightly upturned nose, and the delicate skin—all contributed to his good looks. Especially the small cherry-like mouth with a slight upturn on both sides, giving off a feeling of a gentle smile.
Moreover, when Mu Jin smiled, he revealed a pair of shallow dimples, sweetly prompting others to unconsciously respond with a heartfelt smile. Even his pair of small tiger teeth added a touch of cute playfulness.
Qi Changfeng could confidently say that Mu Jin was the most lovable person he had ever encountered in his life. He seemed to possess a natural, inherent cuteness without a hint of femininity.
Suddenly recalling the scene on the basketball court, thinking about Mu Jin’s slender waist revealed when he leaped, he wondered how such a slender waist would feel in his grasp.
Perhaps it was in the darkness of the night, the hazy moonlight always seemed to confuse the mind. So when Qi Changfeng observed Mu Jin for a long time, he didn’t even realize that he was involuntarily getting closer to the other person.
Breathing became closer, the heart beating rapidly, as if the other person was attracting him with an endless charm.
It wasn’t until the moment their lips were about to touch that Qi Changfeng suddenly snapped out of it.
What had he just wanted to do?
He had actually thought of sneakily kissing Mu Jin while he was sleeping. What was wrong with him? Could it be that he liked Mu Jin?
A chill ran through Qi Changfeng’s heart. He quickly turned away, moving to the edge of the bed. He didn’t dare to touch Mu Jin again, pressing his hand against his chest, attempting to calm his frantic heartbeat.
How could he do something so unethical, taking advantage of someone in their vulnerable state? Clearly, Mu Jin was currently asleep, completely unaware of what might happen, yet he had nearly kissed him.
Qi Changfeng couldn’t figure out what he was thinking right now. He didn’t dare to look at Mu Jin, feeling that if he looked at the other person again, he might be unable to resist leaning in and wanting to kiss those tender lips.
This action was too crazy. Clearly, he didn’t believe in love and never thought he would develop feelings for anyone in his life, yet what was the reason for his actions towards Mu Jin?
Was it due to the impulsiveness of a young man, or had he genuinely developed feelings for this person?
Regardless, Qi Changfeng had to admit that the young man beside him was different for him. He had brought many experiences he had never had before.
The first time tutoring someone else.
The first time enjoying a meal happily with someone.
The first time sharing joys and sorrows with someone.
The first time playing basketball together.
The first time sleeping on the same bed with someone.
The first time being considered a friend by someone…
He thought Mu Jin must see him as a friend, the way he casually stayed by his side. Playing and laughing together, Mu Jin made him experience a joy he had never felt before.
Qi Changfeng didn’t know if Mu Jin would feel disappointed if he found out that he had almost kissed him while he was asleep.
Qi Changfeng furrowed his brow, staring blankly at the ceiling. He knew he enjoyed the friendship Mu Jin offered him, but when he suddenly remembered that Mu Jin had more than just him by his side—so many good friends—the young man couldn’t help but feel a sense of unwillingness.
For himself, Mu Jin was his only one, the only ‘friend.’ However, for Mu Jin, he might just be one of his many friends.
Unconsciously clenching his fist, Qi Changfeng suddenly felt he couldn’t tolerate being compared to Mu Jin’s so-called brothers. He also wanted to be the most special person to him.
However, the person next to him then shattered the anger that had just arisen. Despite having retreated to the edge of the bed, the little guy next to him persistently approached, trying his best to snuggle into his embrace.
Qi Changfeng had half of his body suspended outside the bed, but who would have expected the person beside him to persistently swing a leg over, and if he retreated again, he would definitely fall to the ground.
The young man never knew that Mu Jin’s sleeping position could be so messy. Most embarrassingly, after their previous mental and physical struggles, he found that he had uncontrollably reacted.
Although he had just come of age, Qi Changfeng certainly understood what that meant. Not daring to make any big movements, fearing it would wake the person next to him, worrying that he would have difficulty explaining if Mu Jin discovered what had happened.
But the other side still slept very restlessly, tossing and turning ceaselessly. Qi Changfeng was at a loss, so he decisively turned around and tightly embraced the still-moving Mu Jin.
Now, the person in his arms finally settled down. The young man secretly sighed in relief, lowered his head, and looked at the sweet sleeping face in his arms, his expression full of helplessness.
He rubbed Mu Jin’s head with his chin, gritting his teeth in his mind, thinking that this guy must have been born to challenge him.
Knowing that it was already late, he had to quickly close his eyes and try hard to fall asleep. He didn’t notice the person in his arms, who had finally quieted down, had a secretly pleased smile on his face.
The next morning, since they didn’t have to go to school, both of them didn’t wake up early. Mu Jin was accustomed to sleeping until late morning, while Qi Changfeng had only fallen asleep in the latter part of the night.
Even waking up at this time couldn’t hide the heavy dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes were usually hidden under his bangs anyway.
Mu Jin sat up, stretched lazily, greeted Qi Changfeng, and smiled, “Good morning, Teacher Qi. Did you sleep well last night?”
Qi Changfeng took a deep breath at the words, looked at Mu Jin without saying anything, and headed towards the kitchen.
Watching his lover conscientiously preparing breakfast, Mu Jin’s face wore a sweet smile. After they had breakfast, Qi Changfeng helped Mu Jin with some lessons before leaving and returning to his own home.
As it was currently the latter half of the senior year, their holidays were limited. After the mock exams, they only had one day of rest before returning to school.
The teachers had diligently marked the papers during the students’ break yesterday.
Soon, the results were released, and the papers were distributed. The rankings of the school and class were neatly displayed on the blackboard behind them.
After class, all the students gathered in front of the blackboard.
Qi Changfeng stood next to Mu Jin, nervously searching for the rankings. Of course, he wasn’t looking for his own name since his position at the top remained unchanged.
While anxiously looking for Mu Jin’s name, he couldn’t help but pray silently. He hoped Mu Jin’s grades would be better, and most importantly, that he wouldn’t be disappointed or upset. After all, for such a long time, he could see how hard Mu Jin had been working.
After anxiously searching for a while, Qi Changfeng, at the middle-back section, couldn’t find Mu Jin’s name and unconsciously furrowed his brow.
Who would have thought that while he was anxiously searching, the person next to him secretly bumped into him. Qi Changfeng turned his head and saw Mu Jin blinking at him, then pointing to a prominent position on the result list.
Seeing Mu Jin pointing, Qi Changfeng looked towards the rankings and was shocked to find Mu Jin had ranked 88th in the school year, far surpassing the 100th position.
Considering that Shenglin High School had three to four hundred students in a year, he initially thought it was good enough for Mu Jin to improve by fifty positions, but he never expected such a significant progress. Qi Changfeng couldn’t help but feel inexplicably proud, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Mu Jin could feel that his lover was in a good mood, and he naturally felt very happy too.
However, this was not his true level. If he wasn’t worried that such a large improvement at once would seem abnormal, it would be no problem for him to rank among the top thirty in the same examination room as Qi Changfeng.
But even with just the 88th place, seeing his lover so happy, Mu Jin felt a sense of accomplishment. He thought that when he ranked in the top thirty in the next exam in the same room as Qi Changfeng, his lover would be even happier.
At lunchtime, the two ate together on the rooftop. Qi Changfeng, in a good mood, even deliberately gave Mu Jin more sausages from his lunchbox.
Mu Jin graciously accepted them, enjoying the sausages with delight. He cheekily said to Qi Changfeng, “Don’t think you can just appease me with a sausage. Don’t forget the promise you made to me. I’m still waiting for you to give me a birthday present on my 18th birthday!”
Qi Changfeng smiled at his words, asked about Mu Jin’s birthday, and was surprised to find out that it was the day after tomorrow. The time was so close; it seemed like Mu Jin had planned this in advance.
However, Qi Changfeng didn’t feel that he was being manipulated. He was just troubled about what would be the best gift for Mu Jin’s 18th birthday.
After all, turning eighteen was important for anyone. Thinking about it, the young man couldn’t help but hesitate.
Thanks for the updates,,,this is so good 😭
