“Did you already know Dora’s true nature?” Only Ke Bu and Zhi Li remained on the rooftop. Zhi Li held a Band-Aid and stuck it over the wound on Ke Bu’s face. The cut was very shallow and should heal in a couple of days.
“I roughly guessed.”
“Since you guessed, then why did you still let You Yan…”
“Letting the two of them test each other wasn’t a bad thing either. But You Yan is still too inexperienced. I originally thought she could make Dora learn a little lesson.”
“Who do you think caused that? You knew Dora was that dangerous.”
“I already had someone remove the real danger.”
“What do you mean?”
“That’s not something you need to know.”
“Speaking of which, you’re unexpectedly kind too. Dora clearly wanted you to carry guilt toward her, but you acted like nothing happened and pretended not to know about it. The others too, whether it’s You Yan or Ying Xiu Jie, their bad sides are all properly tolerated by you. Want to go get evaluated as a model Three-Good Student?” Ke Bu teased.
Elio’s Notes: Three-Good Student refers to a school honor in China for a model student who excels in morality, academics, and physical fitness. Here, Ke Bu uses it sarcastically to tease Zhi Li for seeming unusually kind and tolerant.
“Tolerated?” Zhi Li revealed a meaningful expression that made all the hairs on Ke Bu’s body stand upright. “Isn’t the truly entertaining part exactly the dark part?”
“Are you a demon reincarnated? Although I don’t think Dora will change, now that she’s been exposed in front of you, she probably won’t mess around with those tricks anymore, right?”
“That child can still be trained.”
“Trained? Is there still any saving that heart of Dora’s that’s dark to the core?”
“The fact that she likes me means she still retains noble sentiments.” Zhi Li actually said such words as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Ke Bu nearly spat blood. “That is the most shameless thing I’ve ever heard in my life!!!” After roaring, Ke Bu felt as if all his strength had been drained. He slid down against the wall and sat on the ground, reached out to tug at the hem of Zhi Li’s pants, and patted the spot beside him. Zhi Li sat down as well, leaning his head against the wall.
“That really is your usual way of doing things, making me face the things I’m afraid of myself. If you had stepped in to stop it from the very beginning, I would only have felt like a useless piece of trash. Even though I usually don’t care about things unrelated to me and always tell myself that this is fine, that this is enough, I still can’t help wanting to narrow the distance between us, even if it’s just a tiny bit, to make myself a little more worthy of you. Looks like, after being trained by you, I’m slowly becoming stronger too. I’m no longer that middle school student who didn’t dare face reality and only knew how to throw himself into your arms and cry.”
“Then thank me properly.” Zhi Li accepted that far too calmly.
“You’re not the kind of person who would kindly do something like this for nothing. It’s about time you told me your purpose, Zhi Li.” Before Zhi Li could speak, Ke Bu added, “Don’t say some nonsense like you only did it because you love me.” Zhi Li chuckled lightly and rested his hand on his knee, his fingers swaying through the thin air. “The results of training you should, of course, be saved for when you confess our relationship to your parents.”
Ke Bu’s mouth fell open in shock. Then he shifted his position to face Zhi Li and shouted indignantly, “You schemer, you’ve even planned something that far ahead!! And also, who, who’s going to confess to them? Dream on. I, I’m only playing around with you.”
“Lying children get struck by lightning.”
“Then you would have been struck dead tens of millions of times already. Besides, aren’t you a little too confident? Did you ever think about what would happen if Dora really did…”
Zhi Li pinched Ke Bu’s mouth shut. “That kind of thing is outside the range of what I allow.” Zhi Li released his fingers, and his lips covered Ke Bu’s. Those slightly cold lips came upon him without warning. Ke Bu’s eyes widened as he let out a muffled whimper, his face red as he pushed Zhi Li away. “Idiot, what if someone sees us?” His usual thick skin always became thin in places like this.
“If you resist, I’ll pinch your wound.” Zhi Li leaned in again.
“Just how bad do you plan to be?” After saying that, Ke Bu couldn’t help laughing as he accepted Zhi Li’s approach. There was really nothing he could do. Why was he always so helpless against this thoroughly awful guy? Looks like I’m not exactly a good person either, just like you. Maybe the truly attractive part is that darkness—the loneliness, pain, helplessness, and hatred. Aren’t those the points where we first connected?
“What are you doing?” Ke Bu realized that the buttons of his clothes were being undone by Zhi Li. “You’re not thinking of doing it in a place like this…” Ke Bu’s useless words were swallowed forcefully. Zhi Li’s fingers slipped beneath his clothes and captured the sensitive parts of his body. His fingertips settled on the flushed peaks, and with only the lightest scrape, the person before him could not help arching his neck back. Zhi Li’s other hand skillfully undid Ke Bu’s pants, held his waist, and lifted him onto his lap. His forced-open legs exposed his shyness against Zhi Li’s lower abdomen. Zhi Li’s hand closed around him, sometimes fast, sometimes gentle, sometimes enveloping, sometimes squeezing.
“You got wet so quickly.”
“Ah ha~~ Don’t say it out loud~~ Mmnh~~”
Zhi Li’s fingers probed deeper and farther back. Damp, burning kisses fell all over Ke Bu’s neck and collarbone, then closed over the sensitive point, sucking, licking, and teasing. Straddling Zhi Li, Ke Bu twisted his body, rubbing against Zhi Li’s lower abdomen, where the state of its owner’s arousal was clearly displayed.
The fingers that had grown more and more slick slid into Ke Bu’s body. Ke Bu gripped Zhi Li’s shoulders. “So cold, aah~~ Zhi Li~~ Mmh, ah~~ Aah~~” The coolness stimulated the heat, and the two fused together. Once the back was prepared, Zhi Li pulled down his zipper. Ke Bu lifted himself, aligned, and slowly sat down. “Hiss~~ Mm~~” His body struggled to swallow the hardness.
“I’m going to move.”
“I told you not to say it out loud~~ Aah~~” Giving Ke Bu almost no chance to speak, Zhi Li held his waist and lifted his somewhat weakened body up, then let him fall. The sound of skin striking skin was intimate and lingering. Ke Bu narrowed his eyes, moans spilling from the corners of his mouth, his lips dry with thirst, the heat with nowhere to go climbing up his cheeks. He lowered his head and pushed his tongue into Zhi Li’s mouth, both hands sinking into Zhi Li’s hair. A fierce kiss—being accepted, being devoured, being melted. It was not only his body that was rising in temperature, but also the feelings with which he loved him. I like you, I like you, I like you so much. No matter what, I like you. I like you desperately, I like you with all my strength. I’ll use my mouth to make you swallow down all this endless liking, Zhi Li!
Afterward, ever since Dora had been forced by Zhi Li to reveal her true form, she finally turned over a new leaf and became a pure and flawless young girl. She got along harmoniously with Ke Bu, You Yan, and the others, obediently pouring cola for all the older sisters and brothers resting during the lunch break.
“Does Lord Zhi Li not want any?” Gong Zhu asked.
“Brother Zhi Li only drinks milk and mineral water. What about You Yan?” Dora asked, tilting her head.
“I never drink anything opened by someone else.” You Yan pushed up her glasses and continued reading.
“What exactly happened in your past life?!” Ke Bu took a sip of cola. Not long after, he felt a cramping pain in his abdomen. The others who had drunk the cola showed the same symptoms. Ying Xiu Jie lay across the desk, clutching his stomach. “What’s in the cola?”
Dora hopped away, propped her hands on her waist, covered her mouth, and looked in surprise at the people collapsing all over the place. “Oh dear, I’m sorry. I think I accidentally dropped constipation medicine into the cola.”
“You!!! Dora!!”
Ke Bu should have guessed from the start that such a dreamlike scene was impossible!! Dora had become even more unscrupulous within the range Zhi Li allowed.
Chu Hao Yu stretched a trembling finger toward Zhi Li. “Z-Zhi Li…” Chu Hao Yu was completely ignored. “Idiots who never learn from experience.”
The door of the school building was kicked open. That seductive face seemed to absorb even the background. Her index finger flicked cigarette ash. “I’m here to collect Dora.” Ke Bu had only ever heard the phrase “collect garbage.”
Dora took a fighting stance. “Lan Yin, why are you here? You woman who clings to Brother Zhi Li like a lingering ghost.” Even Lan Yin wasn’t allowed? What kind of possessiveness was this? Lan Yin’s expression did not change. She lifted her eyelids slightly and tossed the cigarette butt over. Dora focused all her attention on dodging the cigarette butt. Seizing that opening, Lan Yin stepped forward, raised her leg, and drove her knee into Dora’s abdomen. Dora was powerless to defend herself and was grabbed by the collar by Lan Yin. “Go back to your own school.” After saying that, she dragged Dora toward Zhi Li, pressed one hand down on Zhi Li’s sketchbook, and asked, “My payment?”
Zhi Li put down his pencil. “Go ahead.”
“That’s more like it.” Lan Yin bent down and planted a kiss on the left side of Zhi Li’s face. Then she licked her lips in satisfaction and efficiently dragged Dora away, leaving behind a bewildered audience.
