The homeroom teacher, dressed in professional formal wear, walked into the classroom holding a stack of test papers.
"Students, quiet down."
"Next, we will announce the test scores for this exam. Everyone's scores were much better than I expected; generally, everyone did quite well."
Hearing the homeroom teacher's words, Ji An Che stopped what he was doing, held his breath, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Before the exam, he had sought out Gu Han Zhou.
He had used the "Little Gu brand power bank" to fully charge himself.
Perhaps he had absorbed some of Gu Han Zhou's scholarly aura.
When he was writing the test, he felt quite smooth from beginning to end, not encountering any questions he couldn't do.
His test scores this time shouldn't be too bad, right?
The homeroom teacher stood on the podium, "Test scores will be distributed privately to everyone later."
"Now, we will commend the top ten students in this exam."
"Tenth place, Yu Dong Ling. Ninth place, Tan Rui Ze. Eighth place..."
"Fifth place, Tong Xiao Tao."
"Third place, Wu Tian."
As the homeroom teacher's clear voice rang out, Ji An Che's heart sank.
It was over.
He actually didn't make it into the top ten of the class this exam.
Sigh, he had thought he did pretty well this time.
Ji An Che picked up his thermos cup, intending to drink some goji berry tea to comfort himself.
The homeroom teacher smiled, "There is no second place in this exam. Because two students tied for first place."
When mentioning the first place, the homeroom teacher deliberately paused.
The hearts of all the students in the class were raised, unable to help but feel curious.
Gu Han Zhou was always the perennial first.
Wu Tian was the perennial second.
This time, Wu Tian was third. Who exactly had pushed Wu Tian down to tie for first place?
The homeroom teacher announced with a faint smile, "In this test, student Ji An Che and student Gu Han Zhou tied for first place."
Ji An Che suddenly choked, coughing incessantly.
The homeroom teacher: "Student Ji An Che has made significant progress and deserves special commendation for it."
"I hope all students continue to work hard and not slack off, striving for even better results next time. Live your dreams, cherish your youth, and don't let your wonderful youth go to waste."
After the homeroom teacher left, Li Xiang Wen went wild. He pounced in front of Ji An Che, banging on the table.
"Ahhhhhh Che Ge! You actually got first place!!!"
Ji An Che looked dazed and bewildered, "To be honest, I didn't expect it either."
This result was truly beyond his expectations.
Li Xiang Wen was so excited he couldn't speak clearly, "Holy cow, Che Ge, quickly share your experience! How did you manage to turn it around from last to first in the grade! Damn, that's incredibly awesome."
Everyone else also gathered around; they were equally curious about how Ji An Che managed to improve so quickly.
Ji An Che himself was a bit confused.
This review seemed no different from before, so why were his test scores so high this time?
The only difference seemed to be...
Ji An Che's gaze turned to Gu Han Zhou.
The only variable was the male lead.
Ji An Che suddenly realized.
It turned out to be the male lead's credit.
Ji An Che curved his lips, mysteriously patted Li Xiang Wen's shoulder, and said meaningfully.
"If you also had an obedient and sensible son, you would understand."
Li Xiang Wen: "??????"
Che Ge's son, wasn't that Gu Shen?
Li Xiang Wen turned his head and carefully looked at Gu Han Zhou.
Gu Han Zhou's eyes subtly showed a faint bluish-black, and his face looked a bit haggard.
He looked... a bit like he had been drained dry??
But Li Xiang Wen didn't dare to joke about Gu Han Zhou at all, so he had to swallow the joke he wanted to make.
Beside them, Tan Rui Ze directly said what he was thinking, "Holy crap, why does Gu Shen look so haggard?"
Tan Rui Ze's mouth was faster than his brain "Could it be because Che Ge sucked all of Gu Ge's essence?"
o0o
The air immediately became completely silent.
An embarrassing silence that made one's toes curl spread.
Tan Rui Ze's mind quickly reacted, and he instantly regretted it, "Che Ge, listen to my explanation, I didn't mean that! I was just joking."
Ji An Che's face turned green, and a murderous smile curved his lips, "You don't need to explain."
"After class, we'll meet on the rooftop of the teaching building. I want to have an in-depth discussion with you about 'how boys give birth' and 'sucking out essence'."
Tan Rui Ze shook his head frantically, "No, no, no, I have urgent business after class."
"You and Gu Shen can talk about how to have babies. I won't participate, okay?"
"Che Ge, can I participate?"
Tong Xiao Tao shyly lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, "I promise, I'll just watch from the side, I won't make a single sound."
"I want to see too, what positions you use and how you have babies."
Yu Dong Ling cleared her throat and shyly covered her face, "Cough cough... Recently, I've been quite interested in the science of men giving birth."
Feeling the two girls' fervent gazes,
Ji An Che's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he said with a hint of fear, "Let's just forget it."
"Oh, right, Che Ge, it's my birthday tomorrow."
Tong Xiao Tao asked expectantly, "Can I invite you to my birthday party?"
Ji An Che agreed, "Happy early birthday. Tomorrow is the weekend, and I'm free."
"Gu Ge, are you free?"
Tong Xiao Tao's eyes were excited, and she rubbed her hands together expectantly.
Gu Han Zhou glanced at Ji An Che, nodded, and said, "I'm free."
Tong Xiao Tao sat back down, satisfied.
Hehe... She had prepared a super big surprise for Che Ge and Gu Ge.
Everything was ready, just waiting for tomorrow!
o0o
The birthday party was held at Tong Xiao Tao's house.
Her house was a luxuriously decorated large villa, with an open-air swimming pool in front.
Barbecue and champagne were laid out in the surrounding corridors.
Just now, he accidentally got a belly full of beer, red wine, and white wine from the boys in his class. These mixed drinks had a strong kick.
Ji An Che's snow-white neck gradually turned light red, and the pink color gradually showed a tendency to spread upwards.
Now he swayed as he walked, unable to find his balance.
The birthday girl suddenly blocked his path.
"Che Ge, our club needs to shoot a video for recruiting new members. Everything else is ready, just missing a video, and we really can't find anyone to shoot it."
Tong Xiao Tao's eyes held expectation, "This matter is very urgent. Can Che Ge help me? I really have no other way."
Ji An Che's mind was muddled right now, and he didn't quite understand what Tong Xiao Tao was saying.
However, seeing Tong Xiao Tao's anxious expression, he figured it must be something very important and urgent.
"What kind of help? I'll see if I can help." Ji An Che leaned his right hand against the nearby wall, barely standing steady.
The light from the wall lamp was dim, and amidst the scattered light and shadows, Ji An Che's fair eyebrows and eyes showed a shallow blush from drinking. His long eyelashes drooped slightly, creating a breathtaking beauty.
Tong Xiao Tao's heart skipped a beat.
Che Ge's looks were absolutely stunning.
Even she, someone who shipped couples, couldn't help but feel a flutter.
"I'll send the document to Che Ge right away. Che Ge just needs to act according to what's written in the document. It's very simple; you just need to shoot a two-minute clip."
Ji An Che opened the document on his phone, his vision so blurry from drunkenness that the words were dancing before his eyes.
He splashed cold water on his face, finally clearing his head a bit.
Opening the document, Ji An Che discovered it was actually a fanfiction about him and Gu Han Zhou.
Ji An Che read with great interest, commenting, "The writing is pretty good."
"Wow, thanks for the compliment, Che Ge, hahahaha."
Tong Xiao Tao was about to desperately make excuses to cover up when she noticed Ji An Che's expression was surprisingly calm. She tentatively asked, "Che Ge, aren't you disgusted?"
"No, I'm not."
Ji An Che was quite accepting of it.
Perhaps it was because his private interactions with the male lead seemed even more intimate than described in the document. Sharing a bed at night, goodnight kisses before sleep, hugging, and kissing were all their daily activities.
Wasn't this a normal way for father and son to strengthen their bond? Why would he be disgusted?
Tong Xiao Tao's eyes widened in surprise, "Che Ge, do you agree?"
Ji An Che nodded, "We can shoot it."
Anyway, it was just a two-minute clip; he could just do anything to get through two minutes.
Tong Xiao Tao was moved to tears: "Boohoohoo, Che Ge, you're practically my reborn parent, boohoohoo, thank you so much!"
"It's nothing, you're welcome."
The further Ji An Che read into the document, the more he felt something was off.
[Until one day, Gu Han Zhou pressed Ji An Che beneath him, and various indescribable things happened.]
Ji An Che was incredulous and furiously said, "Why am I the submissive one?!"
"I'm so fierce, shouldn't I be the dominant one???"
Tong Xiao Tao's eyes widened slightly, looking disbelieving, "Che Ge, do you have some misunderstanding about yourself?"
Ji An Che: "..."
His voice was slightly cold, his demeanor sharp and bold, "Little sister, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
Tong Xiao Tao averted her gaze.
Damn it, she was actually intimidated by Che Ge.
Yu Dong Ling scrutinized Ji An Che from head to toe, then sighed and shook her head.
What did shaking your head mean?
Ji An Che was instantly filled with indignation.
His dignity as a strong man was being challenged.
He walked over to Gu Han Zhou, grabbed Gu Han Zhou's wrist, and started walking back.
Ji An Che lowered his voice, his expression extremely serious, and asked, "Gu Xiao Zhou, you tell them, was I fierce last night?"
Upon hearing Ji An Che's question, Tong Xiao Tao almost exploded on the spot.
What did "was I fierce last night" even mean?!?!?!
Ji An Che's eyes slightly narrowed, recalling what happened last night.
Last night, they went to play CS. Gu Han Zhou was playing the game for the first time and wasn't very skilled, so he could only hide behind Ji An Che.
Ji An Che alone fought with the ferocity of an entire team, killing anyone who stood in his way, completely carrying the whole game.
Wasn't carrying the whole game fierce?
Of course it was very fierce!!!
Ji An Che poked the male lead, unconvinced, "Was I fierce last night? Don't you know?"
Upon hearing Ji An Che's question, Gu Han Zhou's expression slightly froze.
He set his gaze on the youth.
The youth was drunk, his fair, jade-like cheeks flushed with crimson, and his misty peach blossom eyes gazed at him.
Gu Han Zhou put his arm around Ji An Che's waist, rested his head on Ji An Che's shoulder, and a few soft chuckles escaped his throat.
He was very considerate and agreed, "Gege was very fierce last night."
"You all heard that, right?" Ji An Che was finally satisfied. His eyes filled with a joyful smile, and he loudly declared, "I am a mighty top."
Tong Xiao Tao desperately suppressed her excitement and applauded, "Boohoohoo, Che Ge is the fiercest!!!"
The screams of the surrounding girls were almost enough to flip the roof.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, I knew they were definitely real!!!"
"Boohoohoo, Mama, I've found my true ship!"
"Ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh, help!!! I'm going crazy!!!"
"Che Ge is the fiercest in the whole world!!!"
"Che Ge, you're so fierce, ahhhhhhh!!!!!"
Hearing the screams that were almost piercing his eardrums, Ji An Che suddenly realized, "Eh, wait, I'm not gay. I'm a straight man."
Ji An Che stood unsteadily, his vision barely focusing on one point, and chuckled, "Drinking really messes with your brain."
He looked at Tong Xiao Tao beside him, "Xiao Tao, hurry and shoot the video. I need to go home and sleep quickly after we're done; I'm already too drunk to think straight."
Tong Xiao Tao gestured, happily exclaiming, "Okay, okay, the camera and DSLR are all ready. We can start now."
"Ge, what video are you going to shoot?" Gu Han Zhou asked, confused.
"You don't need to know; you just need to follow my rhythm later."
Ji An Che didn't want the male lead to know about the fanfiction between them.
That would taint the male lead's pure and clean soul.
The original book described the male lead as completely uninterested in romantic matters, seeming to be naturally asexual. The male lead probably didn't even know that two boys could fall in love.
He, as the old father, would protect the male lead's innocence and naivety.
Planning to start the performance, Ji An Che lowered his head to look at the document's content.
Is it this exciting from the start?
Very good, he liked challenging things.
Ji An Che pressed Gu Han Zhou against the wall, his clear amber eyes gazing at the male lead.
Gu Han Zhou mumbled, puzzled, "Ge?"
Ji An Che, emboldened by the alcohol, suppressed his shame and said in a hoarse voice, "Kiss me, and I'll give you my life."
Ji An Che gestured with his eyes, [You don't actually have to kiss; just fake it.]
But Gu Han Zhou seemed not to have understood him.
Gu Han Zhou leaned in closer.
The dim light spilled on his eyebrows and eyes, and an ambiguous atmosphere churned and fermented.
Ji An Che's breath hitched, his heart pounded continuously, and a sweet, gentle emotion roamed through his body.
Gu Han Zhou very lightly kissed his earlobe.
Whether it was the effect of alcohol or something else, Ji An Che felt himself getting even drunker.
Under the nourishment of alcohol, a light pink camellia seemed to bloom where Gu Han Zhou had kissed. The camellia's stem and leaves were fragile and easily broken, yet they still stood stubbornly upright.
A parched sensation came from his throat, and his blood seemed to become agitated and boil. Thoughts in his mind were chaotic and disorderly, his heart rate quickened, and Ji An Che didn't even clearly hear when Tong Xiao Tao said the filming was over.
If there weren't so many people watching, he would want to rush up and hug Gu Han Zhou, rub against him, kiss his cheek, or any other random spot.
As long as his skin touched Gu Han Zhou's, the discomfort inside his body would quickly ease.
Ji An Che's cheeks showed a drunken flush.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
Why was he increasingly fond of being close to the male lead?
He even had an impulse to knead the male lead into his body.
Ji An Che covered his flushed cheeks in repentance.
Secretly despising himself:
I'm truly a pervert.
At this moment, a post on the forum was rapidly becoming a hot topic.
Poster: [Given: Che Ge told Gu Shen he's a mighty top, and then Gu Shen admitted Che Ge was very fierce last night!!!]
