Because of the great ups and downs in the mood last night, and seeing Xu Junzhu making such a big noise in the morning, Qi Feng was simply a victim of abuse.
At the moment Ling Ke simply said something to him, causing Qi Feng, who was covered in scars, to feel a trace of sweetness.
Ling Ke didn’t ignore him, he was still waiting for him to go to class together.
Qi Feng hurriedly sent Shen Yuezhe “Talk later” and got out of bed quickly.
When washing, he splashed his face with cold water and felt his brain clearer.
In fact, with the ambiguous confession on stage last night, Qi Feng did not hold on to the purpose of making Ling Ke understand his own mind. There was a saying that “the confession is the trumpet sounded in victory rather than the charge horn for attacking.” And he deeply understood this as well.
Ling Ke was a straight man and confession as too risky.
On the stage, it was just another test…
Even if Ling Ke didn’t see the performance at the time, he would hear it from others afterward, or watch the videos recorded by his classmates like himself. Maybe he could take the opportunity to prostitute himself at that time and ask jokingly if those words on stage were for Ling Ke instead, he could see how he would react.
But unfortunately, he didn’t expect Xu Junzhu to come suddenly, and Ling Ke appeared again at that time and kissed him in person.
Thinking of the kiss, Qi Feng touched his lips and couldn’t help letting out a smile.
He immediately felt stupid, and immediately held back.
Although things did not go as he expected, it was a surprise, right?
Moreover, Ling Ke was still pretending to be a couple with him, which could be said to be very dedicated…
Fortunately, what Xu Junzhu caused was only spread in the small circle of his high school. Almost all of the students in Deyin were abroad, and they had very little communication with Qi Feng’s current circle, and the “fire of war” had not yet spread to F University yet.
Qi Feng persuaded herself “I can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry”, wiped his face, and calmed down.
On the way to the classroom with Ling Ke, Qi Feng mentioned the bunch of flowers and honestly explained that he had watched the video sent to him by Yao Jing.
“Forget it,” Ling Ke said with his eyes down, “If you don’t dislike it, just count it as gifting it to you…”
Anyway, Qi Feng gave it to him once before, and the two were cleared. Besides, the two were still in the same dormitory. The bouquet of flowers was where they could see. As long as that girl didn’t know, there was nothing to worry about.
Qi Feng remembered what the girl said to Ling Ke after she came to the stage in the video last night. He did not hear clearly, but someone below loudly expressed her feelings for her but did not see the ending. He curiously said, “Did you reject her?”
Ling Ke: “No, she left after sending the flowers.”
Qi Feng was a little uncomfortable as if he was afraid that this girl would come to steal Ling Ke away from him.
Ling Ke sighed, frowned, and said, “Whatever, I just don’t know how to refuse. In that kind of situation, it would be too cruel to refuse her, I was afraid of hurting her, but I was afraid of giving her hope too. Also, it was not in public, so since she left by herself, it did not implicate me either.”
Hearing what Ling Ke said, Qi Feng’s heart became bright again.
…The one who could make him happy in one sentence and sad in one sentence was exactly this person next to him.
Being in love was really painful and happy at the same time.

Qi Feng: “En…”
Shen Yuezhe imagined that if Qi Feng wanted to pretend to be a boyfriend for him, it seemed that there was no problem, so he would help act in acting since he was a good buddy. But the scale of this acting was at best to help admit it when asked by others: Oh, yes, we are together.
Nothing else…
As for kissing actively? Fuck! Just imagine this, Shen Yuezhe felt hairy all over his body!
It was still possible to kiss in a prank situation, but if it was so true, which damn straight guy could stand it?
Shen Yuezhe took a deep breath and asked, “Are you sure that the straight man will help you by choosing to actively kiss another man?”
Qi Feng: “It’s like this… In fact, he and I formulated a code of conduct in private.”
Then, Qi Feng posted the code of conduct signed between him and Ling Ke.
After signing, the notepad was left in Ling Ke’s hands, and he took photos and stored them in his mobile phone album.
Before, Qi Feng said that when Ling Ke promised him to pretend to be his boyfriend, Shen Yuezhe was already a bit dazed, and now he saw this picture again, he was utterly dazed!
What was meant by “content including but not limited to holding hands and hugging”, and what was meant by “appropriate interaction between lovers to cultivate a sense of understanding”…???
Shen Yuezhe resisted the tumbling in his heart, and continued to ask, “What have you two done before? Tell me about it, and I will help you analyze it.”
Qi Feng: “Almost all done…”
Shen Yuezhe: “What do you mean by almost all done!?”
Qi Feng: “For example, holding hands, hugging, kissing, etc… But almost all of them are my initiative.”
Shen Yuezhe: “…”
Shen Yuezhe: “What are your initiative methods?”
Qi Feng: “For example, I would hold his hand when I was walking at night, and I took him by the shoulder when I was watching a movie…”
Shen Yuezhe: “So how did Ling Ke react?”
Qi Feng: “In the beginning, he seemed a little sensitive and a little unnatural…”
Qi Feng: “But we have all signed the code of conduct, and he knew that it was just acting, so he didn’t resist too much.”
Shen Yuezhe was completely messed up…
Can a straight man do such a thing? Do you have any misunderstandings about “straight men”???
Shen Yuezhe: “He didn’t say you are a pervert?”
Qi Feng: “Why did he have to say I am a pervert?”
Shen Yuezhe: “So it’s acquiescence. If you hold him, he will let you hold him. If you hug him, he will let you hug him?”
Qi Feng: “Yes.”
He thought for a while before lamenting a bit, “He seemed to be very calm, I was the only one who is nervous. Regarding the kissing, I also took the initiative first…”
Then, Qi Feng told Shen Yuezhe about the first kiss between him and Ling Ke that night in the Ancient Town and emphasized that it was Ling Ke who kissed him first, which made him impulsive. Of course, he showed a mischievous attitude afterward, and Ling Ke believed it too as if he didn’t care much about it.
It might be that his heart was panicked and no one talked about it all the time, now that he confessed this to Shen Yuezhe, Qi Feng said all these things without hesitation and meticulously.
Ling Ke was sitting next to him. When he was chatting, he was careful not to be noticed by the other party. He typed a few words to cover up, pretending to listen to a lesson and was quite cautious.
At one o’clock in the morning, British time, Shen Yuezhe held his mobile phone and stared at the ceiling without sleep.
He asked the chaotic void: Who am I? Where am I? What happened to this world? He didn’t even see such a corrupt thing in the country of corruption! If they can be regarded as straight men like this, what use do I want this iron rod for?
…
Shen Yuezhe was in a daze for a while, and soon came back to his senses and picked up the phone again: “Madman, listen to me…”
Qi Feng: “You say.”
Shen Yuezhe: “Although Brother Ling’s personality is quite cool, for the various behaviors you just mentioned, as a straight steel man, I solemnly and bravely declare to you: Real straight men will never do these things!”
Qi Feng: “…”
As if to emphasize the point, Shen Yuezhe copied and pasted the “declaration” three times, and continued, “I won’t accept holding hands and hugs, let alone kissing… if you fucking dare to kiss me forcefully, I can only blow your dog head!”
Qi Feng: “Dog head?”
Shen Yuezhe: “Oh no! Handsome head!”
Shen Yuezhe: “Fuck! Can you not care about these details!”
Shen Yuezhe: “I mean! Ling Ke may not be straight at all!”
Qi Feng was stunned. He had never doubted this problem because he was gay. Although he used to play with straight men, everyone was very open and would joke casually, which was also very nice to him. But Qi Feng had never played an ambiguous game like with Ling Ke with other straight men, so fundamentally speaking, he was not sure where the bottom line of straight men was.
Maybe it was because he was too confident of his charm, Qi Feng thought that Ling Ke actually liked him a little bit, but this kind of like was different from the love of men and women. It was out of one person’s appreciation of another outstanding person. Just like him to his brother, only brotherhood, very pure.
Because of this, he relied on this kind of affection and unscrupulously showed his presence in front of Ling Ke…
Seeing Shen Yuezhe’s words, Qi Feng seemed to have been tapped by someone.
He quietly tilted his head to look at Ling Ke, and happened to meet Ling Ke’s gaze.
“What are you doing sneakily for the whole class?” Ling Ke asked in a low voice.
He wore glasses during class, and the lens flashed during questioning, giving Qi Feng an instant panic of being thoroughly seen through.
Qi Feng put away his messy thoughts, said “nothing” with a guilty conscience, hid the phone, ignoring Shen Yuezhe’s frantically clarifying growl for straight men in WeChat.
But after a while, the last sentence Shen Yuezhe said still floated, like an enlarged and bold lyrics font, flashing in Qi Feng’s mind.
…Ling Ke may not be straight at all!
…Ling Ke may not… be straight at all…
If Shen Yuezhe’s analysis was correct, why didn’t Ling Ke show it in front of him?
…No, it is normal to not behave.
After all, hadn’t he been hiding his sexuality all the time before? He was not qualified to question Ling Ke’s reason for doing this.
So this hypothesis made sense, and Ling Ke did show amazing tolerance for homosexuality, being misunderstood as gay, and pretending to be a couple in games.
If this was the case, regarding his and Ling Ke’s previous holding hands, hugging, kissing… Would Ling Ke also enjoy it?
…
Fuck… me.
…
Once this idea began to sprout, Qi Feng could no longer stop his brain from making things up!
All he thought about was looking for something to verify the authenticity of this sentence.
Approaching the end of getting out of class, Qi Feng asked Ling Ke, “Are you free tonight? Let’s go out for a meal together, I invite you.”
Ling Ke was a little inexplicable: “Huh?”
Qi Feng glanced at him, pretending to be calm, and said, “It’s nothing, you helped me last night, so according to Article 6 of the Code of Conduct – every time a performance is officially performed, the beneficiary is obliged to make a mental or material compensation to the victim. It happens to be Christmas today; do you have any plans?”
Ling Ke pushed his glasses and said, “Oh, that’s good.”
Qi Feng: “…”
【Little Interlude】
Qi Feng: “He took the initiative to kiss me in order to act as my boyfriend.” (Smug)
Shen Yuezhe: “…”
As a good brother of Qi Feng, he couldn’t even do such a thing… Then what face did he have to be a good brother to Qi Feng?
He was not worthy…
The empress here was Ling Ke, he was abstained, hahaha…
Ling Ke has Qi Feng wrapped around his finger lmao…

Empress Ling Ke. It must be my monkey brain, but I still can’t figure out who’s the gong in this
Tbf, not only QF is dense, Ling Ke too. They’re too caught up with their assumption that the other is straight that they overlooked the obvious facts right in their faces.
+1 definitely. Looks like we’re making progress tho
+1
Thank you for the chapter!
Still can’t believe that the girl just outed him!!!
Dealt the entire chapter I was doing an encouraging cheer scream for his good brother to spell this out for QF and his brain gears to turn.
Qi proudly like ‘look how straight we seem’ and poor Shen just losing his crap
We’re finally getting somewhere omg someone please end this whole charades already 😭
