Don't You Like Me (Complete)

Chapter Ch20 - Little Prince

When evening fell on Sunday, Lin Feiran and Gu Kaifeng returned to campus for the start of a new week of school.

Just like last week, Lin Feiran continued to stick to Gu Kaifeng’s side every moment of the day, regardless of whether it was before class, after class, while practicing piano, eating, bathing, or sleeping. In the eyes of others, the two’s interactions were more nauseating than lovers.

It was soon Thursday, the day of the Arts Festival. All the students and teachers gathered in the school’s auditorium at 1:30 pm to watch the performances. The venue was already fully setup. The students who were participating had all changed into their costumes backstage, with the girls putting on light makeup and the boys fixing their hair into simple yet elegant styles. Gu Kaifeng, wearing a dark custom-tailored suit, was casually leaning against a wall with one hand in his trousers pocket and the other hand holding two sheets of paper, silently reviewing his lines as he waited for the time for opening remarks to be made.

Right at this moment, Lin Feiran, who had just finished changing, opened the dressing room curtains and quickly walked up to Gu Kaifeng, poking him to absorb his Yang energy.

Gu Kaifeng lifted his head and looked at Lin Feiran, his eyes flickering imperceptibly.

Lin Feiran was wearing a formal black suit with a white collared shirt and bow tie. For the sake of looking good on stage he had endured the discipline masters stare and did not cut his hair. His bangs had gotten somewhat long and hung low over his forehead, slightly covering his eyebrows. The dim lighting backstage created an impression of a melancholic beauty that did not match his usual aura.

The formal suit he wore was likely specifically made for stage performances. It appeared to be custom-tailored, from its high-quality fabric, cuffs, collars, and buttons… Every last detail was exquisitely designed, transforming the usually endearingly cute Lin Feiran into an entirely different person.

Gu Kaifeng’s mouth suddenly became dry, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down as he tried to swallow.

Lin Feiran made a full turn in front of Gu Kaifeng and asked while already knowing the answer, “Do I look good wearing this outfit?”

Hurry, say how handsome I look! Praise me!

Gu Kaifeng’s eyes darkened as he said softly, “You look very good, this outfit suits you very well.”

Lin Feiran, whose little ego was satisfied, felt great delight. His beautiful eyes were brimming with joy as he replied, “Thanks, you look particularly handsome today as well.”

Gu Kaifeng raised his eyebrows and said, “Can’t compare with you.”

Lin Feiran felt even more ecstatic on the inside, but maintained his calm appearance on the outside. “How can that be? The school’s most handsome boy is just being modest.”

Constraining the smirk that was forming on his lips, the school’s most handsome boy Gu Kaifeng praised with a calm and sincere tone, “It’s true, haven’t you noticed that you have a special artistic temperament? There are many good looking people, but there are few who possess a character and temperament similar to yours.”

Lin Feiran’s face reddened and he rubbed his nose. He suppressed a smile and feigned indifference. “I’m not as good as you say.”

“Why not? My spotlight today has been completely stolen by you. All the female students were staring at you just now,” Gu Kaifeng said, unable to hide the narrowing of his eyes, but Lin Feiran was not looking at him as he was focused on keeping his head down as he blushed. Upon hearing Gu Kaifeng’s last remark, Lin Feiran was completely overwhelmed by the flattery and simply turned to face the other way, staring jubilantly at the props box in the corner with a silly smile. His little phantom tail was lifted high, revealing the little thing underneath.
