The Daily Life of Being the Campus Idol's Fake BoyfriendCh35 - Preliminary Agreement

Translator: Ryn

Ling Ke stared at Qi Feng blankly, basking in this joyous moment of what he suspects to be a confession from Qi Feng, unable to believe his ears. 9n7cay

He really wanted to ask Qi Feng if he was confessing for real, but his rationale reminded him to not forget of the fact that Qi Feng was a straight male. If he slipped up and caused any mistakes, he could face irreparable consequences… Although from the other’s intonation earlier, it sounded as though he wasn’t joking.

It could be that he had remained silent for too long, because almost immediately, Qi Feng took the initiative to explain what he meant with those words: “Senior Liang previously said before, that even if we have a girlfriend or not, people will still suspect our relationship, so why not we make the lie real…”

“Make the lie…” This time, Ling Ke couldn’t help interrupting Qi Feng, asking in bewilderment, “…real?”

“No, I mean, since we both do not intend to look for a girlfriend in university, we can tell everyone else that we’re together, and use each other as a cover… But only we’ll know that it’s fake.” Qi Feng carefully observed Ling Ke’s expressions while explaining in a serious, yet apprehensive manner, for fear of saying something wrong, and end up provoking and cause ire to the other.

“Certainly, with this, you may be getting the shorter end of the stick. Afterall, even if you do not want to find a girlfriend, you do not necessarily have to pretend in this act with me,” Qi Feng paused, his face once again displaying his weariness from earlier, and he appeared somewhat helpless and distressed, “But for me, it’s different. I’ve already told Sun Man that we’re dating, and there’s no telling if she has really given up on me. But either way, I still have to let you know this in advance, in case she does anything extreme…”

Ling Ke nodded to express that he understood. After hearing Qi Feng’s words, he slowly calmed down, fully understanding Qi Feng’s intentions.

Qi Feng wanted to use him as a cover, to lie for him, and in passing, keep away all of his unnecessary peach blossoms – just like what Xie Qibao had said earlier, to find a proper girlfriend to put an end to all potential troubles.

It’s just that Qi Feng couldn’t find a girl at present, so he turned to him for help.

… He just knew that Qi Feng’s “confession” held a different purpose.

Now, Ling Ke felt even more thankful that he hadn’t been impulsive and hadn’t ended up saying things that should not have been said.

Seeing Ling Ke nod, Qi Feng seemed encouraged and continued: “I know this may make things difficult for you, but this is the most suitable method I can think of at the moment.”

Hearing the description “the most suitable”, Ling Ke felt unsure: “You would rather be rumoured of being a homosexual?” XNnGVA

Qi Feng replied indifferently: “I don’t care ah.”

Ling Ke’s eyes widened: I have never expected that you would be this kind of… straight guy!

Qi Feng didn’t care, but he was afraid that Ling Ke would. Although he had learnt that Ling Ke was rather tolerant towards this kind of behaviour after he had previously tried this once during the Freshmen’s Welcoming Party, he was still afraid that Ling Ke would refuse, so he further tempted him: “If you agree to pretend to be my boyfriend, then I’ll owe you a big favour. In future, if you ever come across any problems that require my assistance, you just need to say a word and I will do my best to fulfil your wish.”

Ling Ke: “…” pNdblr

This wasn’t the same as the pleasant surprise he had received earlier. Nevertheless, even if Qi Feng was only requesting for him to be his fake boyfriend, to Ling Ke, this pretence was undeniably not disadvantageous to him. On the contrary, it can be said that this was already beyond what he had initially hoped for.

Yet, Qi Feng was now afraid of putting him in a difficult position and had thus, anxiously offered him “compensation”… Dear Gods, Ling Ke secretly wanted to laugh out loud!

For a moment there, Ling Ke almost wanted to frankly confess to Qi Feng that he was a gay!

But if he did, all of his previous camouflaging attempts would be exposed, and he might even be suspected of using the rumours between them to take advantage of Qi Feng. With this thought in mind, he quickly discarded this idea, and promptly decided to carry out his straight male act till the very end. MiPeLz

That being the case, as a “straight male”, in the face of such requests, it wasn’t very good for him to agree too hastily.

Neither Ling Ke nor Qi Feng slept well that night. cXmuvU

Ling Ke was excited. He tossed and turned in bed, digesting Qi Feng’s earlier proposition. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was about to benefit from this. He couldn’t wait for the next day to come, so that he could find a suitable opportunity to calmly say to Qi Feng “I am willing”.

Conversely, Qi Feng felt nervous all night. He heard the soft rustling sounds coming from the adjacent bunk bed, and knew that Ling Ke was still awake. His heart thumped as he repeatedly tried to recall if the words he had spoken earlier might’ve revealed his true, despicable aim, for them to embroil Ling Ke in such manner.

As a result, they both suffered in this way all night. By the next morning, they woke up facing each other’s panda eyes.

Ling Ke looked at Qi Feng, and he finally couldn’t restrain the bottled-up joy that he repressed throughout the entire night, finally releasing a short laugh “Pfft”. J2WADe

Qi Feng: “…”

Ling Ke: “…”

Seeing Ling Ke laugh, Qi Feng’s eyes brightened up – does this mean he had thought it through?

Ling Ke immediately put away his smile and climbed out of bed first. Pd2YX3

Qi Feng climbed out of bed as well, following closely behind him. The two walked into the washroom one after another. Ling Ke gave Qi Feng some space in front of the wash basin, grabbed his toothbrush and squeezed some toothpaste on. Qi Feng also took up his toothbrush and squeezed on some toothpaste.

Ling Ke brushed his teeth facing the mirror, gaze fixed at his reflection in front of him; Qi Feng also brushed his teeth facing the mirror, but in contrast, he kept sneaking glances towards Ling Ke who stood beside him.

Ling Ke spat out the foam in his mouth, finally couldn’t help asking: “What are you looking at me for?”

Qi Feng asked directly in response: “What were you laughing at earlier?” IgzDC

Ling Ke: “I just felt… a bit awkward.”

Qi Feng didn’t intend to stop questioning him till he got to the root of the matter. He asked: “How was it awkward?”

“It’s just… that… fake boyfriend thing…” After these words left his mouth, he couldn’t help smiling once again. Ling Ke felt like giving himself a few slaps. What’s with this? His facial muscles seemed completely out of his control. Did his usual calmness and composure fail him today? So unrestrained!

But he soon stopped struggling over his problem of “being unrestrained”, after seeing an exceptionally bright smile blossom across Qi Feng’s face. Qi Feng asked: “Then you agree to it?” bPyTmE

Ling Ke paused, and then fabricated a helpless smile: “What else can I do?”

Yes ah, regardless of whether he liked Qi Feng or not, they were still very good friends. With Qi Feng sincerely asking for his help, he couldn’t find a suitable reason to refuse.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

However, Ling Ke’s simple response, in the ears of Qi Feng whose mind was entirely clouded with love, seemed as if it gave off an ample feeling of pampering and indulgence, “What am I going to do with you ne~”, making him so happy to the point where his entire person seemed like it were shrouded with light!

After Ling Ke finished speaking, he also felt a little embarrassed. Thus, he hurriedly washed his face and just as he was about to hang his face towel, his hand was caught by Qi Feng. DXT69y

Qi Feng glanced at him with a smile, and said softly, “Let me”, and then personally hung up the towel for him…

This scene just so happened to fall onto the eyes of Xie Qibao, who had just woken up and walked to the washroom door. A burst of bright light blinded his eyes.

He eyed them both until they left the dorms, and then turned around in shock, shouting while rushing to Gao Junfei’s bed: “Brother Gao! Brother Gao! Brot….”

“…F*ck!” Gao Junfei blinked at his dry, weary eyes and gave a quick glance at the time, only 7:15am. BOKDxY

Last night, he stayed up till 1am, writing his report. With lectures starting at 8am, he initially intended to sleep in for an extra 10 minutes from his usual waking time and had specially set his alarm for 7:30am, but now, he was actually woken up five minutes earlier than before!

Gao Junfei sat up with a sullen expression, and said coarsely: “F*ck, stop shouting! What do you want?!”

— If Xie Qibao doesn’t provide him with a reasonable excuse for waking him up, he’ll definitely kill him!!

Xie Qibao’s initial desire to gossip immediately diminished under Gao Junfei’s loud, angry roar. After thinking about it, he felt that it wasn’t prudent for him to rashly jump into such conclusions about his roommates, hence he rubbed his chin and replied: “Nothing.” C2wuNW

Fuming with rage, Gao Junfei’s angry bellow thundered from Dorm Room 412: “……Xie! Qi! Bao!”

When they were at the dorms, Ling Ke had already felt that something wasn’t quite right with Qi Feng. Now that they were at the cafeteria, this feeling intensified.

Qi Feng had taken the initiative to queue up to buy breakfast for him, and even blocked him from paying. Although his breakfast consisting of egg rolls and soy milk were only worth ¥5 to ¥6, Qi Feng had smoothly fished out his own campus card and said, “Let me”, in precisely the same tone and manner as he previously did whilst hanging up his towel for him back in the washroom of their dorm room. Qi Feng’s tone was so soft and gentle that he seemed as if he was shrouded in a layer of holy light, and Ling Ke couldn’t bear to look directly at him… 9gO6jC

After the two sat down across one another, Qi Feng kept giving him frequent glances.

Being closely watched, Ling Ke felt goosebumps crawling all over and finally couldn’t help asking: “Uhh, can you not look at me that way?”

Puzzled, Qi Feng asked: “In what way am I looking at you?”

Ling Ke: “…” Ok, perhaps it was just his gayness that’s causing him to misread things? Was he being oversensitive? 6F2lQh

It wasn’t easy to endure till the end of their morning lectures. After lunch, the two of them found an unoccupied self-study room. Ling Ke said: “Let’s discuss the things that we should take note of when we’re pretending to be a couple, the specifics and to what extent we have to act the part… I think, unless we come across another issue like the one with you had with Catherine, we should just behave in the same way as we usually do.”

Qi Feng nodded. That’s true, even if they were real gays, they still wouldn’t be too high-profile while dating. On the contrary, sometimes true homosexual couples would even refrain from exposing their relationship to others.

Ling Ke’s suggestion was reasonable, and Qi Feng was unable to refute.

Hence, he thought about it and proposed: “However, just so that we aren’t too stiff in our act when the time calls for it, shouldn’t we practice doing things that couples do, in private?” U2 DHA

“Uhh… what kind of things?” Ling Ke’s heart started racing, once again.

“The things that normal couples do with each other,” Qi Feng pondered over it, “Like, going on dates, hugging, kissing… and so on?”

“……” Ki-, ki-, kissing?!?! Ling Ke’s heartbeat instantly reached 180 rpm!

After saying that, Qi Feng felt it may be a bit inappropriate and immediately said: “I was just giving a few examples. If you think it’s too much, we don’t have to do it.” OPXx2S

Ling Ke: “…”

Qi Feng turned the direction of their conversation: “But I think, if we don’t get used to this early on, when the time calls for us to pretend to be lovers, for instance, if we were to meet another unreasonable girl who demands for us to kiss in front of her before she’d believe that I’m gay, then at that time, we may immediately expose ourselves on the spot…. That’ll be so awkward ah.”

Ling Ke furrowed his eyebrows and nodded, expressing that he understood: “Oh.”

…What else could he say? XoVqLO

Qi Feng gave him a glance, looking somewhat embarrassed. He seemed aware that his request may be too much, hence he tried placating Ling Ke: “Of course, for starters we don’t have to jump straight into doing these things. Otherwise I’m afraid that you’d feel repulsed, unable to accept it… The way we are now is already pretty good.”

Ling Ke: “…”

Ling Ke felt that his heart would soon rupture from the emotional rollercoaster caused by Qi Feng’s words!

He took a deep breath and then took out a notepad and a gel pen, frowning: “Okay, let’s draw up a preliminary agreement ba. The things that we should get used to doing, the things that we shouldn’t do, we’ll write everything down.” 13jyz4

Qi Feng watched as Ling Ke earnestly wrote down a string of words on the very first line of his notepad — 《The Code of Conduct for Being the Campus Idol’s Fake Boyfriend》. He shrugged his shoulders, laughing out loud: “ You’re…taking this a bit too seriously ba!”

Qi Feng: “You be my boyfriend ba.”

Ling Ke: “…” F*ck! For real?! No, this can’t be true. Isn’t Qi Feng straight?  But from his tone, he sounds serious, so maybe I can raise my expectations a little… Hope Qi Feng’s asking me this for real!

Qi Feng (anxious): Ah, why isn’t KeKe saying anything? Can it be that he’s unwilling? Oh yeah, he’s straight, he certainly wouldn’t want to…. I might’ve scared him. *Crying* u1d70T

Qi Feng: “What I mean is, to make it seem as if we’re dating for real. If the situation calls for it, you can cooperate with me, and pretend to be my boyfriend.”

Ling Ke: “……oh.”
