HAPPY BIRTHDAY GU FEI (°◡°♡).:｡ 08/29

∞

Jiang Cheng woke up a bit late in the morning. When he opened his eyes, it was almost time for the first period to begin.

His record time for skipping class was two days, and for not returning home three days, yet he was barely late for class. He himself was not sure why, but if he decided to attend class, then he would much rather not be late.

The school had only just begun, he did not plan on skipping at the moment. He looked at the time and jumped out of bed, ran into the bathroom and grabbed a single-use toothbrush.

He normally wouldn't use these things even when he stayed in hotels because these toothbrushes had deadly stiff bristles and its size was unnecessarily super large, plus they usually didn't have any favorable flavours... and when he was gurgling, he wasn't sure if it was because he had put too much power into his left hand or the toothbrush was just too crappy, but he had noticed that his gums would bleed.

When he lifted his head, he saw his own pale, sleep-deprived self in the mirror - there were even hints of black circles around his eyes, paired with the white foam around his mouth...

"Ah..." Facing the mirror, he used the hand wrapped in a bandage to clasp his chest and pointed ahead dramatically as he painfully took a few breaths of air into his lungs. "Shit... there's poison... in this shit! Ah!"

He laughed to himself for a while after his performance ended, then remembering that he was almost late, he quickly started to splash water on his face for a quick wash.

When he ran out of the motel after checking out, he could almost feel the Ru Jia[1] from across the street laughing at him.

That's right, he followed Gu Fei's clear instructions yesterday and found the Ru Jia. However, as he searched his whole body, he found that besides the five hundred yuan and the cell phone, not a single article of clothing belonged to himself. He simply couldn't stay at the Ru Jia in the end.

Because he didn't have his ID on him, the receptionist threatened to call the police while he tried to have her help think of a way to get in - it could not have gotten any worse.

A large old area in a small rotten city, why was it so difficult to get a room in a motel?!

He already had on Gu Fei's wool sweater, wearing Gu Fei's down-jacket, took Gu Fei's charger, also ate his meal, and smoked his cigarette, he really had no face to go back and ask Gu Fei to let him borrow his ID.

Just as he succumbed to his fate and decided to hole up in an internet cafe for the night, he spotted a small motel from across the street, and hence was finally saved.
