It must be that Teacher Gu was too approachable, giving him a false impression, which led someone like him, who was in unrequited love, to have such unrealistic fantasies.
It's all the hormones' fault.
Not only me, but everyone who has experienced unrequited love has had a similar experience.
Wen Feiran had dragged everyone into this mess, and after offering himself a few words of self-consolation, he finally felt less ashamed of his thick skin and let out a long sigh of relief.
He had just composed himself and was about to properly dry his hair when he suddenly heard a faint sigh, hidden behind the towel.
Wen Feiran subconsciously stopped what he was doing, trying to discern whether the voice was real or not, but the next second he felt a weight on his head. Through the towel, he could feel the shape of Gu Suian's fingers, the movements were incredibly gentle.
Wen Feiran seemed to have been put on pause, her whole body stiffening into a solid block of metal, pinned to the wall formed by solidified air.
Gu Suian... she's drying his hair.
Why? Is this also a fan service?
Would Gu Suian have done the same if it were someone else?
An answer became increasingly clear, as if responding to his wishful thinking. Wen Feiran's face burned, a deep longing welling up from within, actively stirring his heartstrings, causing him to act impulsively without thinking.
Wen Feiran raised his head. Gu Suian felt his movement and withdrew his grip. Wen Feiran's face emerged from under the soft towel, his eyes glistening with tears, his gaze fixed straight ahead, making no attempt to hide his feelings, almost as if his thoughts were written all over his face.
The two were very close. Perhaps it wasn't his imagination, but he could feel Gu Suian's breathing become rapid, and his eyes changed as he stared straight at him, his eyes filled with too many emotions that he couldn't understand.
It was an indescribable sense of oppression and pain, something that should absolutely not have occurred under such circumstances.
Even the slow-witted Wen Feiran sensed something was wrong. He frowned slightly and was about to speak when the door next to him opened.
Both of them were stunned at the same time, and the atmosphere from before vanished.
When Meng Wenzheng saw them, the expression on his face was clearly captured by the camera.
[What did he see? He seems extremely frightened.]
[He was looking into Gu Suian's room; Wen Feiran had just gone inside...]
[!! Are Wen Feiran and Gu Suian passionately kissing?!]
[Remember to stick out your tongue, doge emoji]
[Haha, as a fan of this pairing, I really hope this is true, but it's obviously impossible. Everyone can ship it privately, but please don't bother the person in question!]
Meng Wenzheng stood frozen in place, his gaze shifting between the two of them. His thoughts were even more shallow than Wen Feiran's, and he couldn't hide them at all. His silence was deafening.
Wen Feiran was interrupted and suddenly forgot what he wanted to say. When he looked at Gu Suian again, Gu Suian seemed to have returned to normal, as if what he had just experienced was just a hallucination caused by the torment of unrequited love.
Wen Feiran pursed his lips, suddenly wanting to ask Meng Wenzheng for confirmation, but it was just a thought; he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He paused, then handed the towel back to Gu Suian. "Thank you Teacher Gu."
Gu Suian gave him a deep look before taking the item: "Go blow-dry your hair."
Wen Feiran always listened to Gu Suian and wished he would say a few more words to her, so she nodded slightly.
Wen Feiran left, Gu Suian's room remained open. Meng Wenzheng was restless, as if he had accidentally witnessed something extraordinary and wished he could disappear into the ground or erase his memory.
Five minutes later, everyone came out. Zou Yuxing was as excited as a primary school student going on a field trip, holding a bright yellow plastic shovel in one hand and raising the other hand high, shouting, "Let's go!!"
Having gotten up too early, everyone except the excited Zou Yuxing seemed to have had their energy drained by a monster. Although they were awake, they were very sluggish and their eyes were unfocused.
The tide had receded, and the sand beneath our feet was a darker color from the wet seawater, almost like solid ground; we needed a shovel to dig a small hole.
Zou Yuxing had done his research, so he handed out tools to them and said, "Pay special attention to the areas with small holes; one shovelful will most likely yield something."
The sea breeze finally cheered Wen Feiran up.
There are two things in this world that he finds hard to refuse: mushroom picking and beachcombing.
Wen Feiran was reserved, but her excitement was no less than Zou Yuxing's. She carried a small bucket in one hand and a shovel in the other, her back never straight, as she battled on the beach.
He was lucky enough to find a starfish.
This was the first time Wen Feiran had ever picked up a live starfish on the beach by hand. She was incredibly excited and, without caring who was nearby, immediately picked it up to share, "Look..."
Unfortunately, the person standing next to him was Chu Chengping. Chu Chengping lowered his eyes, looking at him coldly without any emotion. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, instantly extinguishing any excitement he felt.
The atmosphere became awkward. Wen Feiran gave a dry laugh, reflecting on her actions.
It's really childish for a grown man to get excited over something so trivial.
Wen Feiran coughed twice, noticing that Chu Chengping looked very annoyed. It was no wonder he was in a bad mood, having been forced to participate in such a childish activity.
The two looked at each other, Chu Chengping kept staring at him for some reason, as if he wouldn't leave first if he didn't speak.
Wen Feiran, this person, could only be forced to do, "Don't you like beachcombing?"
Chu Chengping remained silent, still looking at him with cold eyes.
Wen Feiran could only continue speaking to herself, "How about this, I'll go tell Yuxing, you go back and rest first."
Chu Chengping finally spoke up this time, "No need."
