Lin Feiran poured a little laundry detergent in, then carefully and with uncertain motions began to wash the costume. He was deathly worried that his actions would make the drama queen uncomfortable.
The drama queen narrowed her eyes and instructed, “Oh, yes, rub my shoulders harder. Ha ha ha ha, don’t touch my neck! I’m ticklish!”
Lin Feiran: “……”
You’re only a costume, all right? You don’t even have flesh! How could you be sensitive!
Lin Feiran pursed his lips and held back his complaints.
The drama queen suddenly hugged her chest with both arms, tears shining in her eyes as she imitated a common scene from TV dramas. Dramatically, she said, “I… I’m so dirty…. I’m no longer the me from before. I must wash myself clean…”
Lin Feiran felt dizzy.
The drama queen acted her heart out for a while, then put on a serious face again and said, “All right. Change the water for me.”
Lin Feiran changed the water several times and washed the costume sparkling clean. Then he picked up the wet costume and folded it twice. He asked, “Shall I wring you?”
“Wring gently. Just until it’s about damp, then let me dry naturally,” the drama queen said.
Lin Feiran nodded. He took hold of the costume with both hand, gently and slowly twisting…
As Lin Feiran wrung the costume, the drama queen’s body suddenly twisted around like fried dough. As she twisted, she cried out pitifully, “Ah ah ah ah ah my waist is going to break! I’m breaking!”
Lin Feiran flinched in fright. He hurriedly stopped, his eyes going wide. “Are you all right?”
The drama queen returned to her original form, laughing and slapping her leg. “Ha ha ha, I’m fine! Look how scared you are, ha ha ha…”
“Don’t keep messing with me, all right?” Lin Feiran looked helplessly at the ghost, trying to use an accusative gaze to pierce her heart and rouse her conscience!
But the drama queen had no conscience. She laughed shrilly, “You’re too cute, ha ha ha. No wonder that handsome guy is besotted with you.”
At the mention of Gu Kaifeng, Lin Feiran’s young boy’s heart immediately began thumping wildly. He licked his lips and said softly, “You think he’s… besotted with me?”
“Yeah.” The drama queen eyed Lin Feiran’s ‘asking even though he already knows the answer’ expression with appreciative interest. “Look at the way he looks at you. I’m getting gooseflesh all over.”
Gu Kaifeng walked into the water room with a smile and folded arms. “Are you talking about me?”
“We’re not talking about you.” Lin Feiran’s face was still full of romantic ardor he couldn’t conceal. He ran back to the dorm room with the costume and hung the costume up to dry.
An old feminine-style opera costume, hanging high on the drying rack of the boys’ dorm, looked strange from every angle. But the two had already gotten used to it, and didn’t think too much of it. The drama queen had followed them back into the dorm and now she directed them. “Lay me out a little, gently. I don’t want wrinkles when I’m dry.”
She was very hard to please!
Lin Feiran obediently straightened out the costume and asked, “What else do you want?”
“Nothing else.” The drama queen spread her hands. “Now we wait for me to dry.”
Lin Feiran nodded. “All right.”
