Extra 10: What If Yanyan Had a Sense of Pain and Wasn’t Switched at Birth 3
“I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to win Gu Fei over!”
An Qingyan made his bold declaration. Lu Yuqi knew he couldn’t talk him out of it, so he just had to let him be. Yanyan was the type who wouldn’t give up until he’d run headfirst into a brick wall. As for his cousin, that guy was so austere he could shave his head and become a monk on the spot.
Things like romance, these worldly, mundane affairs, simply had nothing to do with Gu Fei.
His passionate good friend, however, was in high spirits and full of determination. He was currently lying on his bed, a lovestruck look on his face, tapping out a message to Gu Fei:
[Fei ge, are you there?]
Gu Fei: [What is it?]
“Ah, he replied! Yuqi, do you have any cute stickers? Send them to me, quick!”
Lu Yuqi coldly spat out two words: “I don’t.”
“I’ll find some myself!”
[I mentioned treating you to dinner last time. Are you free tonight? You should be, right?] The youth’s slender fingers flew across the keyboard, followed by a cute sticker of a cat peeking.
Gu Fei: [Mm, I’m free.]
An Qingyan: [Great! I’ll send you the time and place then!]
An Qingyan: [Cat rolling gif.]
He excitedly hugged his blanket and rolled around on the bed twice, a sweet, lovestruck smile spreading across his face as he stared at the chat history. What should I wear for our first date?
Lu Yuqi couldn’t bear to watch and silently looked away.
At 7:30 p.m., the black Maybach was once again parked at the gate of Nancheng University. Passing students kept looking over, wondering which bald entrepreneur was waiting for his little pampered wife.
Then, they saw the person in the car open the driver’s door and step out. The first thing that came into view was a pair of expensive black leather shoes, followed by long legs… and finally, that devastatingly handsome face.
Holy crap, so it wasn’t a bald entrepreneur, but a rich, handsome, long-legged overbearing CEO! Who was the lucky little darling? He was way too handsome, ahhhh!
“Fei ge!” A tall, slender youth came jogging out from inside, a sunny smile on his fair, handsome face. He finally stopped in front of the overbearing CEO and said obediently, “Have you been waiting long?”
The gossiping students passing by stared, their eyes wide. The “little pampered wife” was actually their campus heartthrob, the stunningly beautiful An Qingyan?! This was explosive!
“No, I just arrived.”
Gu Fei discreetly sized up the person in front of him. The youth was wearing a black silk shirt with a nice drape and simple matching trousers. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing a small patch of fair skin and the faint outline of his collarbone. A simple necklace rested on his long, pale neck.
His hairstyle was also different from last time. His bangs were swept up, revealing a clear forehead. His whole face looked flawless, especially his eyes, which were curved into a slight smile and sparkling brightly.
“Get in.”
“Okay!” An Qingyan opened the door and slid into the passenger seat, secretly wondering if Gu Fei had just given him a few extra glances. It meant all the time he’d spent getting ready—doing his hair, putting on cologne—hadn’t been in vain.
Gu Fei got into the driver’s seat. The youth turned sideways, leaning a little closer to him, his nose twitching slightly. “Fei ge, you’re wearing cologne today. It smells really good.” A cool cedar scent, it suited his temperament.
The man paused slightly. As the youth leaned in, he also caught the scent of cologne on him—a light sea salt and lemon fragrance, like a summer beach, clean and refreshing.
He said impassively, “Fasten your seatbelt.”
“Alright.” An Qingyan obediently fastened his seatbelt, wondering why Gu Fei had zero reaction. Could it be that he really has no interest in romance? Or is he straight?
Please, no! If Gu Fei is straight, then I don’t stand a chance!
The young man frowned in frustration.
Gu Fei: “You, today…”
“Hm?” He instinctively looked at the man who had spoken.
The tense lines of the man’s face softened slightly, making him look less cold and serious. His thin lips parted, and his calm, magnetic voice added three words: “You look great.”
With that, he looked away and started the car.
An Qingyan froze, staring blankly at the man’s striking profile. Did Gu Fei just compliment me? Would a straight guy compliment another guy like that? No, Gu Fei is definitely gay!
Okay, stay composed!
He very naturally averted his gaze and turned to look out the window, but he couldn’t help but hide a smile. Plenty of people had told him he was good-looking his whole life, so he was used to it. But hearing it from Gu Fei made his heart feel like a burst of fireworks.
Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at a high-end Western restaurant. The waiter led them to a quiet table, and the food was served quickly. “Please enjoy, gentlemen.”
An Qingyan politely thanked the waiter, then smiled at the man across from him. “Fei ge, the steak here is great. You should try it.”
Gu Fei: “Alright.”
An Qingyan lowered his head to cut his steak, but his gaze kept involuntarily drifting to the man opposite him. The man, dressed in an expensive suit, had his eyes slightly lowered, fork in his left hand and knife in his right. His hands were well-defined as he slowly and methodically cut his steak.
As expected of Gu-ye, even watching him eat is a feast for the eyes. I really want those hands to touch me…
Little Master An’s mind was filled with all sorts of dirty thoughts, completely unaware that the man himself had already noticed his every move.
Gu Fei’s hands paused. He then set down his knife and fork, looking probingly at the young man who was staring straight at him. His thin lips parted. “What are you thinking about, Yanyan?”
The young man immediately lowered his head, his guilty conscience palpable. He pretended to cut his steak, forked a piece into his mouth, and said with an awkward smile, “Mm, so good! You should try it!”
This is a social death scene! I’m just a little perv with a dirty mind, ugh, so embarrassing!
Gu Fei watched his flustered little display, a fleeting smile in his eyes. “Eat slowly.”
“Mm-hm!”
No, I must be elegant and poised. I am a very composed, wealthy young master.
And so, Little Master An finished the dinner with great composure and elegance. His outstanding looks and temperament drew the attention of nearby customers and staff. One female customer even came over to ask for his WeChat, but was, of course, politely refused.
When the two left the restaurant, it wasn’t even 9 p.m. It was still early; the date couldn’t end just like that. What should we do next, An Qingyan wondered.
The night was soft. The two walked side-by-side, their two figures, one tall and one shorter, stretching out under the streetlight. Gu Fei had one hand in his pocket, his peripheral vision catching the young man beside him, who was walking with his head down, kicking a small stone. The warm yellow light softened his delicate profile.
Gu Fei took the initiative to ask, “You’re very popular at school, too.” It was less of a question and more of a statement.
An Qingyan raised a hand to rub the back of his neck, a shy smile on his pretty face, but his words were anything but modest. “It’s true, a lot of people have confessed to me. I guess I was just born beautiful.”
So, with so many people interested, you’d better make your move. Otherwise, with all this competition, I might get snapped up by someone else.
By then, it’ll be too late for regrets, hmph…
Gu Fei had no idea what was going through the other’s mind. The corner of his lip twitched slightly upward as he replied in a serious, agreeing tone, “You certainly were.”
An Qingyan returned the compliment, “You too, Fei ge.”
What to do next… He pulled out his phone to check recent movie releases. Isn’t watching a movie a standard date?
…Hm… spy movie, no. Romance, maybe. There’s even a horror movie, “Midnight Terror”… that sounds pretty good.
Then I’ll just pretend to be scared, grab Gu Fei’s hand tightly, and bury my face in his chest, trembling. It’s dark in the theater, so I can even take the chance to get a little closer… Mm, not bad, not bad. I can’t wait!
“Fei ge, you’re free for a bit longer, right? Let’s go see a movie. There’s a theater nearby.”
Looking at the other’s expectant gaze, Gu Fei, who hadn’t set foot in a movie theater in years, replied, “Mm, alright.”
“Let’s go then.” A joyful smile bloomed on the young man’s face. He grabbed the man’s wrist and hurried towards the parking lot. “The next showing is in twenty minutes, we have to hurry!”
Gu Fei looked down at the wrist held by the other. “Okay.”
An Qingyan bought the tickets online, deliberately choosing seats in the back corner with no one next to them. It would be convenient for… well, whatever.
They arrived five minutes before the movie started. An Qingyan also bought a Coke and popcorn. When we’re eating the popcorn, maybe my hand and Gu Fei’s will accidentally touch…
That’s how it always happens in the movies. I’m so looking forward to it!
The two sat down in the back row. As expected, there was no one else around. The movie started quickly, and all the lights in the theater dimmed, plunging them into darkness. The atmosphere was perfect.
Wow, that couple in the front row is already making out. The morals of the world are decaying, how could they do such a thing? …I really want to kiss Gu Fei, too.
The horror movie was, indeed, pretty scary. But An Qingyan had watched all kinds of horror movies with Lu Yuqi in their dorm. This level of fright was nothing to him.
But, why isn’t Gu Fei eating any popcorn! How are our hands supposed to “accidentally” touch now! … Movies are all lies!
Every horror movie needs a terrifying soundtrack to set the mood. An unsettling, ominous score filled the theater as the plot reached its first major jump scare.
Many in the audience had already raised their hands to cover their eyes. Those with partners were clutching their arms, and those with friends were grabbing each other.
It’s time to show my real skills!
A scream erupted in the theater. An Qingyan also let out a fake “Ah!” and quickly grabbed the man’s arm, burying his face in his chest and “trembling” in fear.
