Chapter 59 - Ghost School (13) (2/2)

Bai Yi looked at the teenagers red and swollen lips. His throat moved a little and he suppressed his desire to kiss him again. He looked at the teenager’s eyes and said very seriously:

“Because towards you I……….”

The teenagers body trembled, and his face revealed a look of disbelief.

Bai Yi paused as he suddenly thought of something. He gave up finishing the sentence and just caressed the teenagers face while saying in a quiet voice:

“Sorry, I can’t continue that sentence. It’s now not a good time to confess. I want to leave it for a more formal occasion and not now, okay?”

Although he didn’t explicitly say it, the words “confess” still allowed the teenager to instantly understand what the meaning behind his actions were. The heat that was about to completely fade from his face once again spread through him and he covered his face in panic. He didn’t dare look straight at Bai Yi in the eye.

“Zhi Chu, you didn’t seem to hate the kiss………Can I hold onto the belief that you don’t actually feel nothing towards me?”

Bai Yi grabbed the boy’s hand and held it firmly in his palm. He made him look at him in the eye as he gazed at the boy deeply.

The teenager opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say. His mind was blank, and his heart was in turmoil. It felt like a hand was squeezing his heart and at this moment he found it hard to even breathe.

But within this pain, there was also a hint of sweetness. He lowered his eyes with a complicated mood. Even he himself didn’t know what he was thinking. The only thing that was certain was that he couldn’t deny Bai Yi’s words.

He didn’t feel aversion towards that kiss.

Bai Yi didn’t force the boy the say anything. He just rubbed his head and helped him rearrange his clothes. When the swelling of the lips was no longer conspicuous, he pulled the curtain aside and said: “Sorry, I fell asleep and kept you waiting.”

“It’s nothing. You should really rest more.”

The school teacher showed him a good-natured smile and the driver handed Bai Yi a set of clean clothes. After Bai Yi returned back behind the curtain, he glanced at the teenager. A trace of unnaturalness flashed through his handsome face and he didn’t ask for the boy to help him dress. Instead, he slowly put on the clothes himself.

Just as he had said, that kiss was also something outside of his expectations and it wasn’t something that he had deliberately planned. It was a result of his emotions going outside of his control.

………..But fortunately, Zhi Chu didn’t hate it. And what was gratifying was that this unexpected kiss even managed to help bring their relationship closer.

Even if he is usually calm and stoic, Bai Yi is also a young man at heart. When facing the person that he likes, it would be a lie if you said that he didn’t feel any tension at all. All the calmness that he showed earlier was an act.

As his thoughts drifted, Bai Yi fell into daze. The originally clumsy act of putting on his shirt became even more unbearable to look at and he even accidentally touched the injured part of his hand.

The teenager took this in and finally couldn’t hold himself back. He walked over to help Bai Yi put his shirt on.

“Senior, be careful.”

“Thank you, Zhi Chu.”

Bai Yi was stunned. He then revealed a gentle smile. The eyes looking at the teenager also become complete and utterly endearing.

Although his personality is cold and dark, if he really liked someone, he would become gentler than anyone else.

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow.” He said.

“Tomorrow?” The teenager was a little worried. “You’re not resting at home for a few days?”

“No need.” Bai Yi smiled at him. “I can’t wait at home. I will miss you too much.”

“Cough cough cough………….!”

A breath was caught in the teenager’s throat and he momentarily couldn’t breathe causing him to suddenly cough violently. He coughed until tears formed in his eyes and was only able to recover after Bai Yi patted his back for a while.

Finally dressed, Bai Yi left with the driver. Before he left, he glanced over at the teenager one last time. It was only a night apart and they would still see each other at school but he felt a strong sense of reluctance and even wanted to stay a little longer.

………..What should he do on weekends?

Bai Yi touched his lips as he sat in the car and couldn’t help but fall deep into thought.

………….

Cheng Zhi Chu shook to clear his mind and found himself once again back to the dark and cold classroom. The corpse-like female teacher looked at Zhao Xiao Pang and Zhao Xiao Pang was still talking about the things that he knew.

“At that time, Su Ling had injured Brother Bai so we naturally wouldn’t let him off that easily. He dragged him out the school and dealt with him severely. It rendered him hospitalised for a week and recuperating at home for half a month.”

“Junior Cheng wanted to visit Su Ling but us or Brother Bai would find various excuses to call him away. If it wasn’t us, it would be Junior Cheng’s classmate that I hired. In short, he didn’t have any opportunity to go and find Su Ling. “

“It was also probably around that time that Brother Bai admitted that he really did fall for Junior Cheng. He wanted us to help him pursue him and also help him plan a romantic confession.”

“At that time when we heard that Brother Bai liked Junior Cheng, we originally thought that we would be extremely surprised. However, when we really heard him admit it, we were actually not very surprised. It was probably because we had felt that it was the case for a while now.”

“On the contrary, we couldn’t believe it when Lu Jie was the first one to suggest that Brother Bai may like Junior Cheng back then.”

“Now that I think about it, we were very dumb back then. It was clearly so obvious, yet we couldn’t tell……..”

Zhao Xiao Pang finished speaking. He closed his mouth and looked at the female teacher uneasily.

The female teacher rigidly nodded and raised the next question.

“Well then, please answer me. How did Su Ling die in the end?”

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 59)

In fact, I wasn’t listening to them talking at all. They were talking about me, but it had nothing to do with me. It was just a boring instance story.

But I had to sit there and listen to them talk endlessly.

I wanted to open up my sketchbook and draw Zhi Chu but he’s sitting next to me, so I didn’t dare move.
