Just like that, the drama queen became a temporary resident of dorm room 508.

Every morning, before going to cla.s.s, Lin Feiran would carefully situate the costume. Sometimes he put it on his swivel chair so that it could comfortably slouch, and sometimes he lay it flat on the bed so it could sleep soundly. When it was sunny out, he hung it on the drying rack by his window and opened the window a crack, so the costume could enjoy the wind and the sunlight.

Very indolent!

But the poor dorm supervisor. One day, when he was checking the dorm rooms, he got a big shock when he discovered the old opera costume lying on the bed like a sleeping person. That evening, when Gu Kaifeng came back from school, he saw the deduction slip placed on the dorm room desk. On it was a line in large handwriting from the dorm supervisor:

Two points deduction for pranking the dorm supervisor!

There was even an exclamation mark at the end! Clearly, he was very angry.

Thank goodness he had not confiscated the opera costume.

He deducted points again? Lin Feirans face furrowed like a bitter melon. He draped himself stickily over Gu Kaifengs back, his chin resting on Gu Kaifengs shoulder. He nudged a little and calculated out loud, Im counting how many points we lost this semester our confiscated water heater, two points, messiness, one point, making noise after lights out, one point, and two points now weve lost six points!

Only a month had pa.s.sed since the start of the semester . There was still a lot of time left in the semester for points to be deducted.

Were done for, Lin Feiran grumbled. Ill definitely be punished with sweeping the corridor.

Young master Lin usually was too lazy to sweep even the tiny dorm room, let alone the dorm buildings corridor. That would be the equivalent of taking his life.

Gu Kaifeng pinched Lin Feirans face and said with a smile, If youre punished, its the whole dorm room that gets punished. Ill go sweep it myself.

I dont want you to sweep it, either, Lin Feiran complained quietly.

Then Ill plead with the supervisor for mercy. Gu Kaifeng picked up the deduction slip on the table, and both of them went down to the first floor to look for the supervisor.

The moment the supervisor saw Gu Kaifeng coming, he got angry. Gu Kaifeng thickened his skin and argued with the supervisor for a while, but the supervisor was staunch: You didnt put it there on purpose? Thats not possible!

Gu Kaifeng was the picture of innocence. Really, it wasnt on purpose! And theres nothing in the dorm rules that says you cannot put old clothes on the bed.

Supervisor: How could it not be on purpose?! You even covered it with a blanket!

Lin Feiran was too embarra.s.sed to speak: k2026;k2026;

Gu Kaifeng almost laughed out loud.

It had been the costume spirits request to be covered with a blanket. Even though Lin Feiran thought that a costume would not be afraid of the cold, the costume spirit had demanded to be covered with a blanket, like a human would be.

The supervisor said angrily, And you even put a phone near the pillow playing Silang Visits His Mother!

Lin Feiran nervously shrunk into himself.

Gu Kaifeng snorted with laughter.

The phone on the bed was Lin Feirans. The drama queen had said that she wanted to listen to opera, so Lin Feiran had dug up an old phone he no longer used and downloaded an app containing many songs from Peking opera, just for the drama queen to listen to opera. Before going to cla.s.s, Lin Feiran would start the playlist from the beginning, and play the whole playlist through once.

A costume covered by a blanket, lying on the bed like a person, and opera songs coming from an unknown place

The scene could be said to be very frightening!

The supervisor waved a hand dismissively and said impatiently, Go back, go back. Dont argue anymore. These two points are deducted from your dorm room for sure.

The two returned to their dorm room and shut the door. Lin Feiran calmly

tossed the pot

to Gu Kaifeng: This is all your fault.

Yes, all my fault. Gu Kaifengs lips curved up rakishly on one side. He lifted a hand and tapped Lin Feirans nose, saying, Its my fault for not hiding your water heater properly. My fault for not getting out the socks you tossed under the bed. My fault for servicing you so well after lights out that you screamed out loud

Lin Feiran hurriedly cut him off. Hey!

Gu Kaifeng said with a smile, What did I say wrong? That night, you really

Lin Feiran angled his chin and hooked an arm around Gu Kaifengs neck. He closed his eyes and took the initiative to meet Gu Kaifengs lips.

A moment later, Lin Feiran retreated a little and said virtuously, I wasnt kissing you. I was shutting you up so you wouldnt spout nonsense.

Gu Kaifeng rubbed a thumb over his own lips, lifting an eyebrow, and recited like an answering machine, That night, you really.

Clearly he wanted to be shut up again!

Lin Feiran obligingly leaned forward again.

Five minutes later Gu Kaifeng sat on the bed hugging Lin Feiran as the two tested each other on vocabulary.

A tough one. Gu Kaifeng flipped the vocabulary book. Practical and without waste.

Lin Feiran blinked and hesitated. Its it starts with E. Let me think

He was trying very hard to recall the letters that came after, but Gu Kaifeng had heartlessly started a countdown!

Three, two, one times up. Gu Kaifeng victoriously read the term out loud. Its economical.

Lin Feiran slapped his forehead. Yes, yes, yes! That was what I was going to say!

Too late. Gu Kaifeng took the opportunity to claim his benefits. Ten letters, so kiss me ten times.

Lin Feiran gently kissed Gu Kaifengs cheek.

The atmosphere in the dorm room was so sweet it could drive one crazy. Occasionally, two or three wandering spirits would pa.s.s by, and theyd cover their eyes and clap hands over their mouths, pa.s.sing by them hurriedly, or go through the wall to the neighbouring dorm room, or jump out of the window directly. An atmosphere of great disdain for outsiders, both living and dead, permeated the room. This was a newfangled way of chasing away ghosts!

After memorizing the vocabulary for tomorrows test, the next round with the same rules as before was math, physics and biology homework. The two of them stopped making out for a while and sat properly in front of their desks. The drama queen, who had waited to one side for a very long time, now emerged like she was shedding a heavy burden. She complained, Not easy, not easy, but youre finally done kissing.

You Lin Feirans face went red.

The drama queen asked Lin Feiran with concern, Your mouth is sore from kissing, surely?

Mine is, anyway. Gu Kaifeng thickened his skin and clicked his tongue. He said, Didnt we agree that when RanRan and I are in the dorm room, you arent supposed to be here?

The drama queen coughed twice awkwardly. Its a burden for me to be here, isnt it? I caused you to have points deducted today, didnt I?

Lin Feiran said helplessly, You dont like being in the closet, so we cant help it.

I dont like it, true. The drama queen looked rather pitiful. Who wants to stay in a dark little house where you cant even see your hand in front of your face? My true form stayed in a prop box for so long, I got claustrophobia from it.

A piece of clothing had claustrophobia!

Magical, isnt it!

Gu Kaifeng smiled. Then what were you thinking? Stay someplace else?

Thats what I wanted to talk to you about. The drama queen carefully moved closer to them and said, Ive been wandering around nearby for a while, and Ive kept to myself while youre being intimate, right? So I thought that since you already saved me from the storage room, washed me clean, and even gave me a place to stay can you see the good deed through to the end and

escort this ghost home to the west

? Help me out one more time?

Say it. Gu Kaifeng was forthright. If its convenient, well do it, and if not, then forget it.

Its The drama queen smiled ingratiatingly. Can you return my true form to my owners hometown? A shadow crossed the drama queens eyes. Thats my true home.

She had been stolen from her home, and had drifted outside for so many years. Now she finally saw the light of hope that she might return home, and her eyes were full of antic.i.p.ation and hope, and she watched Lin Feiran like a child, both nervous and hopeful.

Shen Fengshengs hometown is A City. Lin Feiran met her gaze for a moment, then looked away, eyes s.h.i.+ning as he looked at Gu Kaifeng. Four hours by high-speed rail. We can go there and come back in a day. We have three days vacation starting May 1st. If we go, we can still have some fun there. You havent been there, have you? Ill be your tour guide. Theres plenty to eat and see there.

You agreed! The drama queen was so happy she jumped up and clapped her hands, furiously praising Lin Feiran. How are you such a good person? Youre good-looking, and cute, and so kind The drama queen astutely observed Lin Feirans expression and hit the bullseye. No wonder this suave young fellow likes you so much he cant take it. If I didnt already have an owner, maybe even Id fall for you.

Lin Feiran was on cloud nine from the praise. With sweet satisfaction, he turned his face away and smiled. Gu Kaifeng cleared his throat and said faux-gravely, Isnt it too soon to be happy? I havent agreed to go.

Do I need you to agree? The drama queen tsked and pursed her lips at Lin Feiran. After so many days, your big sis can see it. Whatever he says to do, you do. Have you ever said no to him?

The corner of Gu Kaifengs lips lifted and he didnt disagree.

Hearing this Lin Feiran felt such sweetness in his heart, he thought he was about to explode. He kept cheering the drama queen on, as if he couldnt wait to send her home overnight!
