Chapter 110
After eating, the two of them just wandered around the school for a walk, which Gu Fei said was to get familiar with the layout, but Jiang Cheng felt there was nothing that needed familiarizing.
With his current mood, usually even going out of the school gate to walk around outside, let alone wandering around the school, he didn't have the heart to do so. He had already foreseen that he didn't know how long his future life trajectory would be like this.
Go to class, eat, and sleep.
Think about Gu Fei.
From being together and being able to see each other as soon as they opened their eyes, to not being able to touch or feel each other.
The distance between them was not just a few hours drive, not just those more than ten or twenty days from now until the 11th.
After the walk, the two of them went back to the hotel. On the way, Jiang Cheng took three wrong turns.
"I think if you're okay, you shouldn't go out the school gate easily," Gu Fei said while fiddling with his phone on the bed, "Otherwise you might get lost."
"I can just ask someone to get back," Jiang Cheng crawled over to his side, "Besides, I really don't feel like going out."
"Just get used to it, you'll adapt eventually. So many people cry and can't bear to leave home when they first go to school, but they're all fine now," Gu Fei pulled his shirt up and stroked his back, "When the time comes, just get along with your classmates."
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who can easily get along with others?" Jiang Cheng said.
"You should at least be able to get along with your dorm mates," Gu Fei smiled, "Although your temper is a bit sour, you're generally reasonable."
"Hopefully," Jiang Cheng closed his eyes, "Boyfriend, massage my waist."
"No massaging," Gu Fei refused, "It would feel arousing if I massage you, but we're not in the mood to get in bed now. Going up and down like this, what if it affects our ability... "
"I'll shut up right now," Jiang Cheng leaned on his arm and glared at him, "Do you have any objections if I say you're shameless now?"
"I've never had any objections," Gu Fei laughed, "I'm just saying you're shameless too."
"Get lost," Jiang Cheng collapsed on the pillow, "I'm an innocent youth."
"Oh, have you seen an animated show? I forgot the name, but I remember how the song goes," Gu Fei said.
"Sing it and let me hear, I might know it." Jiang Cheng said.
Gu Fei cleared his throat and started singing: "Little mouse, little mouse, wearing blue clothes, squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak..."
"Fat cat, fat cat, long whiskers, meow meow meow..." Jiang Cheng immediately sang the next sentence, "You don't even know this one, it's Big Fat Cat and Little Blue Mouse!"
"One tail long and thin, squeak squeak squeak, one face big and boastful, meow meow meow," Gu Fei looked at him, "Isn't it called Jiang Cheng Cheng and Little Blue Mouse?"
"I... damn!" After realizing it, Jiang Cheng was shocked, "Gu Fei, I'm really convinced by you! Cursing someone takes so much effort, why don't you just fly around the sun before coming back?!"
"There's no sun now." Gu Fei said.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh, lying on the pillow laughing for a long time: "Fuck."
Gu Fei wasn't in the mood to get in bed, and Jiang Cheng felt the same. Although he really wanted to hold Gu Fei tightly, kiss, bite, lick, knead... compared to that kind of crazy mess, he now wanted to just lie there quietly, talk, or be silent.
Although being sober made him clearly feel the pain before leaving, being sober also allowed him to savor the time with Gu Fei more delicately.
Some things are clearly remembered very firmly, yet there is still the constant desire to remember them even more firmly, always afraid of forgetting even a tiny bit, because forgetting any bit would be unbearable.
This night was again spent mostly awake. This time Jiang Cheng didn't pretend to be asleep either. Wherever Gu Fei moved, he moved along, if Gu Fei turned right, he also turned right to hug him, if Gu Fei turned left, he would quickly turn left too, then pull Gu Fei's arm over from behind.
"Brother Cheng," Gu Fei chuckled softly, "I can sleep a bit in the train tomorrow, can you sleep in the dorm with people coming in and out?"
"I don't need to sleep," Jiang Cheng said, "I only slept 4-5 hours a day when I was studying for exams and didn't die, don't worry about me."
"I'll change my phone plan when I get back, choose one with more data," Gu Fei said.
"Okay, I'll change my plan too," Jiang Cheng said, "We'll have to rely on it from now on... Oh right, can you ask Gu Miao to change your profile pic to a photo of yourself? That way I can see your face as soon as you send me a message."
"Okay." Gu Fei said.
"Oh right," Jiang Cheng took out his own phone again.
"Hey," Gu Fei raised his hand to block the sudden bright light from the screen, "Brother Cheng, you've taken away my last bit of sleepiness."
"You're the one who said you'd sleep in the train tomorrow," Jiang Cheng opened WeChat, "I'm changing my chat background, come, help me pick a photo?"
Jiang Cheng's WeChat moments cover was a photo of them together. Gu Fei picked the selfie they took on the rooftop that day for him to use as the chat background.
"So handsome," Jiang Cheng said, "Change yours too."
"Okay," Gu Fei picked up his own phone, "Only my profile pic isn't changed yet."
"Hmm?" Jiang Cheng turned around, "When did you do that?"
"I did it when I was playing with Gu Miao, I had nothing to do so I set it up. Anyway I have a lot of your photos on my phone," Gu Fei said, "The ones I took are not bad."
"Damn," Jiang Cheng laughed, "It's not like I think you're ugly."
After finishing with the photos, the two completely lost any sleepiness. They just held each other chatting intermittently until daylight.
It's not entirely accurate to say they lost sleepiness, actually there was still some grogginess. Because after getting up, washing up, eating breakfast, Jiang Cheng once again felt the reluctance that had not welled up all night.
Now fully awake, this kind of unbearable reluctance finally started flooding him slowly like the tide coming in.
Gu Fei's train was early, so going to his dorm with luggage now might disturb his roommate. Jiang Cheng left the luggage at the hotel front desk and would come back for it later.
"Let's go, to the train station." Jiang Cheng grabbed Gu Fei's bag and walked out of the hotel door.
Gu Fei only brought a change of clothes, the bag was very light, just like his footsteps now, light and unsteady.
"I'll take it." Gu Fei caught up to him.
"No." Jiang Cheng put the bag on his back.
Gu Fei didn't say anything else.
From entering the subway to exiting the subway, neither of them spoke again.
Though he felt like there was a lot more to say, somehow they hadn't been able to say anything at all along the way.
They didn't arrive at the train station too early. After standing at the entrance for a few minutes, boarding started.
"Go in." Jiang Cheng handed the bag back to Gu Fei.
"We can wait a bit longer," Gu Fei looked at the time, "I'll go in after this batch, less crowded."
"Okay." Jiang Cheng nodded.
"I'll have to check in when I get back too, see what the school has arranged. If nothing comes up, I'll come see you on a weekend," Gu Fei said.
"Mm." Jiang Cheng nodded.
"It's not much trouble to come once actually," Gu Fei said, "Leave early in the morning and you can get here by noon, then go back the next night."
"Mm." Jiang Cheng rubbed his nose.
"That classmate yesterday is called Zhao Ke." Gu Fei said.
