Lin Feiran only looked down at his grandpa’s book for a moment before he suddenly remembered his hand was being clasped by Gu Kaifeng, and shook their hands apart.
Being shameless, Gu Kaifeng grabbed Lin Feiran’s hand again. Lin Feiran wanted to shake him off once more, but Gu Kaifeng held onto him tightly. Gu Kaifeng leaned closer and craftily shifted the topic as he asked, “RanRan, what are you reading?”
“I’m reading a book that was left to me by my grandfather…” Lin Feiran thought that with this, maybe he could let Gu Kaifeng connect the dots by himself and figure out the truth. He quickly pushed the book in front of Gu Kaifeng and said, “Read it yourself.”
Gu Kaifeng’s eyes glanced down at the book. With a puzzled smile, he looked at Lin Feiran whose face was full of anticipation and asked, “Isn’t this blank? What are you looking at?”
Lin Feiran looked at the book. It was full of records written in blue and black inks. He gulped and trembled as he said, “It’s blank?”
Gu Kaifeng laughed. He came closer, eyes opened wide to show his sincerity, and confirmed, “It’s blank, ah.”
Lin Feiran anxiously said, “On the page…”
Halfway through, his throat closed up.
“What’s wrong with it?” Gu Kaifeng took the book and illuminated the open page beneath a lamp. He narrowed his eyes and stared so hard at the paper it seemed like he was going to burn a hole through it. Finally, he put down the book and rubbed Lin Feiran’s head. He said in a good-natured way, “Baby, are you pranking me?”
Lin Feiran looked at the handwriting in the book that probably only he could see, and silently bit his lips. A cold sense of helplessness ran up his spine. His back was so cold it hurt. This reminded Lin Feiran again that no matter how strange or hard things would be in the future, he was doomed to bear it all alone. Do not think about asking for help from other people; even telling them the truth was nothing but a dream. Lin Feiran squirmed uneasily and tried hard to rid his mind of these negative thoughts. He gloomily said, “Nothing, it’s just a joke.”
Gu Kaifeng looked thoughtfully at him for a moment. He still had not released Lin Feiran’s hand. With his other hand, he turned Lin Feiran’s face so he was looking at him. His handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Why do I feel like you’re hiding something?”
I’m not hiding anything, I just can’t say it ah! Lin Feiran rolled his eyes and spoke as if nothing was amiss, “It’s really nothing.”
Gu Kaifeng did not buy it. “I can tell you’re lying. Is somebody bullying you, or is there something else going on? Hurry, tell me.”
Lin Feiran lazily gave Gu Kaifeng a sidelong glance. He raised the hand that was being forcibly intertwined with Gu Kaifeng’s and faintly said, “Besides you, who else bullies me?”
Gu Kaifeng gave him a handsome and mischievous smile. “How can you consider what your husband does bullying? If there’s something that’s making you unhappy, tell me. Don’t treat your husband as an outsider.”
——He really thinks of himself as my husband!
In the end, under Gu Kaifeng’s onslaught of questions, Lin Feiran had to admit that seeing Grandpa’s things made him miss his grandpa, so he was in a bad mood. As a result, Gu Kaifeng forced a big bowl of chicken soup for the soul down his throat…
“Our grandfather is watching over you from heaven.” Gu Kaifeng was trying very hard to lift up Lin Feiran’s mood. “As long as you are happy, he will be happy.”
Giving motivational speeches did not really fit Gu Kaifeng’s image. Although he was handsome and upright, he carried the air of a cold stoic Adonis in front of other people. But towards Lin Feiran, he had always behaved mischievously. Listening to Gu Kaifeng cheer him up was like listening to a demon preaching Confucianism.
“… Oh.” Lin Feiran had an indifferent expression.
My grandpa isn’t looking over me from heaven, okay? My grandfather is looking at my grandmother from his house!
The old couple was so sweet on each other that they did not even miss their grandson.
Gu Kaifeng kept his hold on Lin Feiran’s hand, jiggling his thighs as he continued to cheer Lin Feiran up. “Our grandfather…”
Lin Feiran interrupted angrily, “’Our’ my ass, that’s my grandfather!”
Gu Kaifeng saw that Lin Feiran, who had been looking dispirited a moment ago, was now getting angry. He knew Lin Feiran had recovered and said, “Let me give you a warm hug, you can think of me as your grandfather.”
Lin Feiran was both infuriated and amused. “Get away from me!”
Gu Kaifeng held the struggling Lin Feiran tightly in his arms, lowered his head, and kissed Lin Feiran’s hair whorl. He said in a soft voice, “In the future, tell me if you’re feeling unhappy. I’m good at talking sense into you.”
You’re going to talk shit! Lin Feiran thought in his heart, but he begrudgingly said yes.
“Good.” Gu Kaifeng kissed the hand of Lin Feiran that he had been holding.
Lin Feiran looked at him, looked at his hand, then blushed as he asked, “How long are you going to hold my hand?”
Gu Kaifeng answered naturally, “My whole life.”
Lin Feiran, who was suddenly hit by a romantic gesture: “……”
At this time, Gu Kaifeng got up and moved his desk that had been flush against Lin Feiran’s. He moved it so instead of them sitting side by side, they would be sitting back to back. Gu Kaifeng then sat down with his back to Lin Feiran, took hold of Lin Feiran’s left hand with his own, and said, “This way, it won’t get in the way of our homework.”
“You must be really bored…” Lin Feiran’s heart skipped a beat and his palm gave off a thin layer of sweat. The beautiful white hand twisted in Gu Kaifeng’s palm, trying to break free.
What’s going on in Gu Kaifeng’s mind every day!?
Gu Kaifeng clicked his tongue and threatened, “Don’t move. If you move again, I’m going to ravish you.”
Lin Feiran blushed and after a long moment of silence, retorted, “As if you’d actually do that.”
Gu Kaifeng: “I really will.”
Lin Feiran: “……”
Gu Kaifeng whispered, “I’ve been trying so hard to hold back, so don’t give me an excuse.”
Lin Feiran didn’t make a sound and let Gu Kaifeng hold onto his hand tightly. He lowered his head and read his grandpa’s notebook, face red. Gu Kaifeng opened a workbook, bit off the cap of his pen, and buried his head in homework.
The first page of the notebook recorded the method for giving offerings to ghosts. It was very simple and practical: prepare an incense burner and three 20 centimeters or longer incense sticks, find a secluded place protected from the wind, then insert the three incense sticks into the incense burner.
If you don’t know the precise range of the ghost’s movements, you should first write down the ghost’s name and their physical constitution on a yellow paper, then burn it. If you know the precise range of the ghost’s movements, this step can be omitted as long as you give the offerings within that area.
After the three incense sticks are lit, place the offerings within three meters of the incense burner. While burning the yellow paper, recall in your mind the appearance of the intended ghost. After incense sticks have burned, take the offerings and throw them away in an uninhabited place. The things that cannot be burned should not be used by the living anymore. Otherwise, it could draw Yin energy to your body and cause various negative effects.
The method was very simple. Lin Feiran had tried it before on his grandfather’s grave and because it had been done right after a funeral, all the necessary things had already been on hand. He had nothing at school, so this time he would have to buy them. However, boarding schools only open their gates on Saturdays and Sundays, so Lin Feiran wanted to buy the materials before returning to school this Sunday.
After reading this page, Lin Feiran skimmed through the rest of the notebook. He had not studied the book carefully since he got it. At first, he glanced at it briefly and found most of it seemed to be magic techniques to expel evil spirits. Because he felt that he did not want to run around exorcising ghosts like his grandpa, he was too lazy to read it carefully. However, now that he had taken it out there was no harm in reading it a little. At least so he would know what was covered by the book so he would not find himself at a loss when encountering a situation in which he could use it.
“Baby, what subject are you working on?” Gu Kaifeng asked suddenly. Five long fingers gently rubbed and teased the back of Lin Feiran’s hand.
“I… I’m doing Chemistry.” Lin Feiran quickly flipped open his Chemistry workbook, fearing that continuously staring at a blank page would make him look crazy in front of Gu Kaifeng.
Gu Kaifeng did not seem to hear Lin Feiran’s reply. The only thing on his mind was his dishonest kneading of Lin Feiran’s hand. While rubbing, he restlessly said, “Your small hand is really delicate.”
Lin Feiran dug his blunt, harmless nails into Gu Kaifeng’s palm and warned him, “Just hold my hand, don’t grope me.”
Gu Kaifeng chuckled and asked, “Are you compromising? After that, will it be ‘just grope, don’t kiss’ and then ‘just kiss, don’t…’”
Gnashing his teeth, Lin Feiran interrupted, “Are you looking for a fight?”
“Alright.” Gu Kaifeng grabbed Lin Feiran’s hand and used it to give himself a few gentle pats on the face while making sound effects with his mouth. “Pa! PaPaPa!”
Lin Feiran had no way to handle this hooligan’s immoral behavior. Instead, he turned his head away and continued to read his grandpa’s notebook, seething with anger.
The notebook’s contents were mostly about various kinds of exorcism, and some teachings on how to read Feng Shui. Lin Feiran turned over page after page without any interest. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the name of a strange magic.
Sharing Yin? The name sounds a little scary ah. Lin Feiran started to read it curiously. The more he looked at it, the more serious he got. Over time, he knit his delicate brows.
First, because the way the spell was performed could not really be described…
Second, because the effect is miraculous.
——The kind of magic called “Sharing Yin” exists especially for people with a negative (Yin) constitution like Lin Feiran. People with a negative constitution can choose a person with a positive constitution to establish through magic a Yin energy connection between them.
Once the Yin energy connection is established, the person with the negative constitution can share the Yin-Yang eyes with the other. However, the person with the positive constitution is free to do as he pleases and can open or close the connection at will. This includes the ability to freely activate and deactivate the Yin-Yang eyes — unlike with Lin Feiran, whose negative constitution forces him to leave them active whether he wants to or not.
This is possible!? Lin Feiran temporarily forgot about the magic process being indescribable. He thought that if only he could establish a Yin energy connection with Gu Kaifeng, then would he not be able to tell him that he did not like him and that he was just using Gu Kaifeng’s Yang energy to suppress the Yin-Yang eyes?
However, Lin Feiran could not be happy for even ten seconds. He saw a line of notes underlined with red ink: “The Yin energy connection can most easily be understood as the binding together of two peoples’ souls. The soul binding part is easy, it’s separation that is hard. Therefore, ‘Sharing Yin’ can only be used once in one’s life…”
Lin Feiran: “……”
What a joke! How can a spell that can only be used once in a lifetime be used on Gu Kaifeng, ah!?
