Don't You Like MeCh13 - Quick, Stick to Me.

Translator: iced, Editors: Pyrrhae, XD


Once Lin Feiran learned Gu Kaifeng’s strategy for studying Classical Chinese literature, he read through the character’s explanation carefully and proceeded to memorize it while lying in bed. His legs were resting lightly against Gu Kaifeng’s and he was being extremely quiet and obedient. aLB25F

Half an hour later, Lin Feiran silently fell asleep… No one knows if he finished memorizing the Classical Chinese passage.

It wasn’t even lights out yet. Gu Kaifeng was amused as he looked at Lin Feiran who was soundly sleeping while cuddling his book. Gu Kaifeng reached out to take the book away but right as he was about to succeed, Lin Feiran unconsciously pulled it back into his arms, trapping Gu Kaifeng’s hand against his chest in the process. This tug also caused Gu Kaifeng’s hand to brush Lin Feiran’s lips. The soft and cool feeling of his lips was like the caress of an invisible little hand on Gu Kaifeng’s heart, making it tremble slightly.

He stared at Lin Feiran’s face for some time, not withdrawing his hand that was caught in Lin Feiran’s embrace.

Gu Kaifeng felt the heat from Lin Feiran’s chest spread through his pajamas to his hand and his thoughts were thrown into a jumble. He narrowed his eyes, his attention momentarily drawn to Lin Feiran’s exposed collarbones. ZoTX30

By the age of 14, Gu Kaifeng realized that his sexuality was not that of the majority. He didn’t bother sharing this realization with his parents as he found it to be unnecessary. In any event, his family was open-minded and his parents were able to accept things quickly. This understanding of his parents made him feel that there would be little to no problems at the time he came out of the closet. Consequently, Gu Kaifeng didn’t face any censure for his sexual orientation and was able to be bent openly and without much pressure.

When Lin Feiran moved to this school, Gu Kaifeng quickly noticed him. It couldn’t be called a crush, but Lin Feiran was Gu Kaifeng’s ideal type: the shape of his eyebrows, lips, nose, chin, ears, and fingers… his hair and his body… even the proud way he looked at others — everything about him was a bullseye.

That’s why Gu Kaifeng was attracted to Lin Feiran.

But he didn’t know what he did to offend Lin Feiran or if it was just Lin Feiran’s personality that resulted in him always being annoyed at Gu Kaifeng. Though Gu Kaifeng felt it was unfortunate, he couldn’t be bothered to melt the heart of someone who was giving him the cold shoulder. As a result, a cold war happened. Gu Kaifeng would only tease Lin Feiran on occasion or in retaliation, appreciating the way the beautiful young man looked when he got angry. He believed that this would remain their status quo, but…

Since two days ago, Lin Feiran changed after suffering through the loss of his grandfather, a high fever, and recurring nightmares. Maybe it was because Gu Kaifeng showed concern for him in this moment of vulnerability and helped him out in spite of their rocky past, but the stubborn Lin Feiran seemed to have a sudden change of heart. His attitude towards Gu Kaifeng made a 180 degree turn and he was regularly trying to get close to him.

Gu Kaifeng thought that the little idiot was too easily moved, but he didn’t object to the change. Based on his looks, personality, speech, and bearing, Gu Kaifeng hadn’t thought Lin Feiran to be a straight guy from the start, and it seemed like he was right. The only downside was that this Lin Feiran brand of little sticky cake was now stuck to him 24/7 — not only sticking to him, but teasing him nonstop. Lin Feiran had always been Gu Kaifeng’s ideal type and once this teasing began, he couldn’t keep himself from getting hard. But this was not something he would reveal to Lin Feiran.

It could be said that Lin Feiran was Gu Kaifeng’s first love, and Gu Kaifeng was happy with the current flirtatious stage of their relationship…

Seeing that Lin Feiran was asleep, Gu Kaifeng retracted his hand, closed his book, and got out of bed. ek9z5m

There were still around 10 minutes until lights off so Gu Kaifeng turned on the reading light on the desk, switched off the overhead light, grabbed some tissues, and snuck to the toilet…

Correct, Gu Kaifeng, who had been teased to the point where he couldn’t sleep the last two days, was planning on releasing his perverted desires!

Doing this in the dormitory was too risky; it would be embarrassing if Lin Feiran woke up part-way through. Students who wanted to do this kind of thing in peace would do so at night, sneaking to the toilet with tissues in hand to hide in a bathroom stall and ‘make their own cucumber juice’.

Although the toilets at night were a little creepy, Gu Kaifeng still remembered the feeling from when Lin Feiran hugged his hand. His right hand felt as though it was carrying Lin Feiran’s warmth and sweet fragrance. Gu Kaifeng thought of Lin Feiran’s innocent doe-like eyes, the sharp and distinct lines of his collarbones, his feet that would quietly stretch beneath the table to touch his own, his face when he was pretending to be calm despite his obvious anxiety, the softness of his lips when they brushed across the back of Gu Kaifeng’s hand, the handsome way he held his chin while thinking… 8lLWvI

Lin Feiran was pale-faced as he looked at the only toilet stall with a locked door and called out in an aggrieved tone, “Is Gu Kaifeng in there?”

Gu Kaifeng pulled his pants up and opened the door, responding, “Yep, I’m here.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Lin Feiran stood in his sleepwear with slippers on his feet and slightly messy hair, hugging a pillow in his arms. Once he saw Gu Kaifeng come out, he immediately reached out and poked his abs, absorbing a bit of Yang energy.

Gu Kaifeng: “……” WOMFYI

He asked with amusement, “Why’d you come here?”

Lin Feiran was silent for a moment before replying guiltily, “Going to the toilet.”

What actually happened was that Lin Feiran woke up and discovered that Gu Kaifeng was gone and the lights were switched off, leaving only the eerie glow of the reading light on the desk. He didn’t know when Gu Kaifeng had left and figured he would start seeing ghosts at any moment. Guessing that a trip this late at night would be to go to the toilet, Lin Feiran picked up Gu Kaifeng’s pillow for comfort and ran to the toilets to find him.

But such an embarrassing train of thought could not be revealed to Gu Kaifeng! a5odJE

Gu Kaifeng saw that Lin Feiran was avoiding making eye contact and clearly was not telling the truth, instead choosing to pretend that nothing was out of the ordinary. Gu Kaifeng wanted to laugh. He couldn’t stop himself from reaching out and patting Lin Feiran on the head while saying, “Then go to the toilet, what are you calling my name for?”

“I guessed that you were here, so I called to make sure.” Lin Feiran turned away and took two steps toward the urinals before walking back and pushing the pillow into Gu Kaifeng’s arms. “Hold it for a bit.”

The poor pillow, dragged along to the toilet!

“You brought a pillow to the toilet?” Gu Kaifeng couldn’t conceal his smile. As he reached for the pillow, he remembered that he still had some bodily fluids on his hand and he hurriedly tucked it under his arm instead. gmE1pM

Lin Feiran clicked his tongue. “It wasn’t on purpose, I was too sleepy.” After that, he walked to the urinal, pulled his pants down a bit, and took aim, shooing Gu Kaifeng away. “Go out for a bit.”

Gu Kaifeng took the pillow and walked out. Outside the toilets was the water room, and the water room opened directly to the hallway. When he exited the toilets, Gu Kaifeng found that it was already past lights out and the water room and hall were both empty. Clearly, ‘little Gu Kaifeng’ had a decent amount of stamina.

Gu Kaifeng washed his hands under a tap. Once he was done, he called out without waiting for Lin Feiran’s question, “I’m still here.”

“I didn’t ask you,” Lin Feiran replied confidently, “Go back first.” ic7Jfa

He just got some Yang energy, so he should be fine!

As if he forgot how scared he was moments ago!

Since his desires were sated, Gu Kaifeng slept quite soundly that night, even sleeping without disruption through Lin Feiran’s octopus hugs in the latter half of the night. It could be said that he was unable to be disturbed even with a beauty sitting on his lap.

From now on, he’ll take care of his ‘problem’ in the toilet when the little sticky cake is sleeping, Gu Kaifeng thought calmly while half asleep. tdcV3L

The next day.

With his protective talisman, Lin Feiran’s day was mostly peaceful.

The last class that afternoon was a self-study period. Before class, Lin Feiran had glanced at the calendar on his phone and suddenly remembered that the Arts Festival was being held next week.

Lin Feiran had been so stressed from seeing ghosts these days that he had forgotten all about it. Once he saw how next Thursday on his phone’s calendar was circled in red, he depressingly remembered that the song he had to play on the piano in front of the entire school needed a lot more practice. 4UgjRK

Lin Feiran had been stressed enough lately that he no longer had any plans for ‘gaining glory’ by pushing himself into the limelight. But the program had been published; everyone knew that he was to perform a solo on the piano and he was unwilling to pull out at the last minute. However, if he had to go to the music room alone to practice he may as well be killed instead; he still remembered the rumors Wang Yao told him about ghosts in the music room. With his current experiences, he now thought that they were very likely to be true.

“Ugh.” Lin Feiran gave the problem some thought and poked Gu Kaifeng, feigning concern, “You’re the MC for next Thursday’s Arts Festival, right?”

Gu Kaifeng looked at him sideways, chin propped up on his hand, “Yeah, what about it?”

Lin Feiran asked,“Have you memorized your lines yet?” NPnZHb

Gu Kaifeng replied, “Almost, didn’t have that many in the first place.”

Lin Feiran pressed further, struggling, “So you don’t have to go to the music room to practice your lines with Wang Yao?”

Gu Kaifeng wrinkled his brows and said with indifference, “Nah, we’ve gone over them enough already, we just need to practice one more time before the event and we’ll be fine.”

Lin Feiran responded with a frustrated “Oh”. eyG46H

Gu Kaifeng gave Lin Feiran a handsome smile, “Don’t you have a piano solo? How’s the practicing coming along? Last time, I heard you play some wrong notes.”

Lin Feiran responded unhappily, “It’s been a month since I touched the piano, how could I play it perfectly now?”

Gu Kaifeng encouraged him, “Then go practice.”

Lin Feiran opened his workbook and grumbled quietly, “Don’t wanna.” 3Gy6BZ

There was silence between the two for a moment.

“…What’s wrong, little sticky cake?” Suddenly, Gu Kaifeng who had seen through Lin Feiran from the start, nudged him lightly beneath the table with his legs and gently said, “If you want me to go with you, just ask.”

Lin Feiran felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He stared at his workbook and, maintaining a look of nonchalance, quietly said, “Want.”

His heart was beating faster for some reason. wKerUZ

Gu Kaifeng laughed softly and grabbed his uniform jacket, slinging it over his shoulder. He patted Lin Feiran — who was still pretending to be immersed in his workbook— lightly on the head and said, “I’m going, quick, stick to me.”

Lin Feiran didn’t say a word and immediately obediently stuck to him.

The music room was bathed in the light of the setting sun, warm orange light reflecting off of the piano. Lin Feiran wiped off the dust from the piano bench with a tissue before retrieving his sheet music from within and placing it on the piano’s music stand. He sat on the left side of the piano bench and tugged on Gu Kaifeng’s sleeve, commanding, “Sit on the bench too.”

Gu Kaifeng obediently sat down. jqH9gS

Lin Feiran, frantically trying to make up an excuse to conceal his intentions, added, “You… sit here and help me keep the sheet music upright.”

Gu Kaifeng glanced at the compliant sheet music that definitely didn’t need help standing upright. He took a breath then blew on it and said, “It’s upright now, you can start practicing.”

Lin Feiran: “……”


Cucumber juice! Cucumber juice! :blobnosebleed: YOhxIm

Well I guess that’s one way to avoid censorship! :bloblul: :blobrofl:

  2. I always look forward to the story’s development. It’s such a fun read 😀

    Many thanks for the translation and I look forward to the next one. 🙂

  3. I’m never going to look at cucumber the same way now that I’ve read this.

  4. My my my, So NOW we know why Gu Kaifeng was having trouble sleeping at night.

    and he already has a crush on Lin Feiran? Much better.

    Poor Kaifeng does not know why the straight-little-sticky-cake is sticky (pfft) to him in the first place.

    Don’t worry he would be bent in no time at all.

    Having an orgasm just by hearing him saying your name? claps

    and most importantly. coughs and clears throat

    Cucumber juices (^་།^)

    Thank you for the chapter Translator-sama!

  5. I wonder, will ML know ever about the ghosts?
    Pffft, cucumber juice~

  6. Kinda feel bad for Gu Kaifeng, but at least he got to eat some tofu! XD
    Lin Feiran really need to adapt to his ability fast, before the unavoidable misunderstanding occurred > <

    Thank you for the chapter! 💕💕

  7. Want ah…
    That was so cute..

    Thank you for this chapter

  8. LFR IS SUCH A CUTIE. I want to bundle him up and squish his cheeks. Thank you for the Translations!

  9. Fufufufu i know what else is U P R I G H T ~~(>//w//<)

    • The cucumber is a very upright being . . . .
      Pppfftttt

  10. Rip GK. You’ve suffered greatly.

    Thanks for the great translation ♥️

  11. Ahh I am really happy they wrote GKF as having had a crush on LFR/being gay already from before! In bl novels they often just go like : ‘oh the shou turned the very straight gong gay because he is so pretty’ but here that is not the case and it really makes me happy!

    • Haha, well the other stereotype in BL novels can be the gong forcing the straight shou to fall in love with him… But… I wouldn’t say that’s the case here either.
      This story is just cuteness and sweetness through and through.

  12. I know that cucumber is “that”, but cucumber juice? That’s something my mom used to make me drink to lower my high blood pressure level. Now I couldn’t even think about that memory innocently.

    Poor GK. He needs to endure his desire while the object of his affection sticking to him 24/7. Thank you for the update.

  13. i guess that’s it for my love for cucumber (lemonade) juice.

  14. He must’ve used the other hand to pat his head…

  15. Cucumber juice…it made me remember words like lovestick… haha. Oh god why.

    How is Lin Feiran going to play the piano w/o touching Gu Kaifeng? I’m dying to find out!!! Maybe they will share a kiss :Q_

    Thanks for the chapter ^_^

  16. when you desperate to touch your wife but your wife is too tsundere.
    Gu Kaifeng: No problems! I have my hands…… so, wifey pllease let me do you tommorow(Crying face)

  17. I went and found the chinese voiceover for this series and was confused when I heard ambiguos squishy sounds.
    I was like ?????????
    Was there such a scene???
    Then I came hunting for this chapter😂😂😂😂😂
    GuKaiFeng… you really couldn’t take the teasing!!!

    Thanks for the chapter!!

  18. the fudge. i’m melting here. 😍😍😍😍

  19. Cucumber juice…
    What will happened when I want to drink cucumber squash ah! I’ll never look at it the same way anymore!!

  20. Quick quick! Now kiss now! (≧∇≦)/ thank you for the translations~

  21. Umm okay but does anyone really won’t talk about the possibility that some ghosts would watch GKF releasing some “yang energy”????

    • Agh! You’re right…but lets hope that those ghost were sleeping.

  22. Ok never mind. Here I was worried about Gu Kaifeng but turns out, he was just having some lack of sleep because of his perverseness. XD I kinda feel bad about the misunderstanding between them tho. (:3」∠)

    Thanks for the chapter! ^^

  23. everyone needs cucumber juice every once in a while to have a healthy and nutritious body, amirite? (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

  24. Although I had already read this chapter previously, I forgot all about the “cucumber juice” scene an practically choked on my noodles when I read it 😅

  25. I’m afraid. Lin Feiran is the type of person who doesn’t assumes what he’s feeling.

    So I just feel that he will take a long way to finally admit that he likes Gu Kaifeng

  26. What juice?? 😂😂 So that’s why he lacks sleep. Controlling himself from grabbing dear milky sticky rice cake. 😍😍

  27. OMG, Gu Kaifeng is gay!!! It’s not common for me to find books where the ML is canonically gay and not “only gay for you” kind of gay haahhahahaa although Gu Kaifeng misunderstood, I think Lin Feiran is attracted to him ahahahhaaha

  28. ‘make their own cucumber juice’ — 😂 okay I admit sometimes I get annoyed with the Chinese wording to get around censorship but omg this one…. I will never look at a juicy cucumber the same way again.

  29. This book is the wonderful surprise/break I didn’t know I wanted/needed while reading Wu Chang Jie. Sooo good. So funny and so covertly sexy.

  30. i will never be the same person I was before cucumber juice

    ( ⎻▵ ⎻ ) thank you for the chapter!

  31. I like it sooo much when a cute novel is a bit spicy too! 🔥 Thx for your hard work, the translation is getting better and better. I wasn’t sure to like this story it seemed really cliché AT first, but it’s cute fun and a bit hot sometimes 😛 ❤️

  32. I feel kinda sorry for him like imagine first ur first crush ignoring u for no reason at all and then he suddenly starts sticking to u like he needs u to breathe
