There’s a psycho who has a crush on me

Chapter 39

Editor: Princess

The night after hearts connected was sweet even without beautiful dreams, so much so that even while sleeping, the corners of their lips curved upward.

But this only applied to Yu Pei and Luo Changzhou.

Mother Gu, who had worried himself sick over his good friend, emerged from his room the next day with dark circles under his eyes, yawning continuously. Seeing Yu. Little. Pei sitting at the dining table with a rosy complexion, already drinking milk, made his heart feel sour.

“Ah Zheng, good morning.” Yu Pei noticed that Gu Zheng’s complexion looked poor, looking as if he hadn’t slept well the night before. If he didn’t live in their house, he would have thought he had climbed over walls to stay out all night. “Did you… have nightmares last night?”

More than just nightmares, Gu Zheng thought. Last night he had dreamed that Yu Pei and Luo Changzhou broke up, right in front of him no less. Before Yu Pei even started crying, he had woken up startled.

However, Gu Zheng definitely wouldn’t admit to such an embarrassing thing.

He only said, “Yeah, I dreamed that Teacher Tian Mi called on me to recite from the book, and wouldn’t let me go home if I couldn’t recite it.”

Yu Pei laughed and said, “Teacher Tian Mi is such a kind person, how could she possibly not let you go home?”

“Sigh.” Gu Zheng yawned again. “Anyway, I hate English.”

After breakfast, the two got into Zhang Geng’s car to head to school.

On the road, Gu Zheng kept observing Yu Pei, and seeing his light, quick steps like a little bird ready to take flight, he understood that Yu Pei had probably fallen quite deeply.

Thinking about it, he realized this made sense. Luo Changzhou could be considered Yu Pei’s first love, and first love always held something special in everyone’s heart, not to mention that this first love was so outstanding.

The red jacaranda trees on both sides of Nan Hua’s campus path had finished blooming completely. Only verdant green leaves hung on the branches. This type of tree was particularly wonderful. It bloomed first, then grew leaves. When all the leaves fell as well, it would look like charred, dead black branches, quietly waiting for winter’s arrival.

Luo Changzhou still stood in the same old spot as before, waiting for them.

The moment he saw Yu Pei approaching, his somewhat stern features immediately showed a gentle smile. He stepped forward quickly to Yu Pei’s side and said to him, “Good morning, Ah Pei.”

“Good morning, Changzhou.” Yu Pei also smiled, glancing up at Luo Changzhou before quickly lowering his head.

The two walked side by side, with only a finger’s width between their arms. Sometimes when they didn’t control their stride distance well, their shoulders and elbows would lightly bump together.

There were actually quite a few male and female students dating around campus. Although the school explicitly prohibited early romance between boys and girls, there were still bold ones who dared to walk together, even holding hands.

Gu Zheng walked a few steps behind them, watching the two walk quietly in front of him.

Although they weren’t holding hands, and while they walked somewhat close together, it wouldn’t make people suspicious.

However, to someone who already knew their relationship, the warmth and tranquility surrounding them as they walked together was more enviable than the atmosphere around passionate lovers.

Watching them made even Gu Zheng want to find a girl to have a proper campus romance with.

“Is it bad for us to leave Gu Zheng behind like this?” Luo Changzhou saw that Gu Zheng was consciously not walking alongside them.

He felt that it was actually quite good that Yu Pei had told Gu Zheng about their relationship, because at least the brightest light bulb was gone. However, as Yu Pei’s best friend, he felt he should still be polite.

However, on the way here, Gu Zheng had already coordinated with Yu Pei. He said he didn’t want to walk beside the two of them. He wouldn’t dare do such an unethical thing as disturbing others’ romance. So Yu Pei said, “It’s fine. Ah Zheng said that in a few days when his car arrives, he’ll drive to school himself. He wants to pick up new girlfriends for class and won’t ride with me anymore.”

“Then should I also learn from Gu Zheng and pick up my boyfriend for class every day?” Luo Changzhou laughed softly, leaning close to Yu Pei’s ear to say this sentence.

His warm breath fell on Yu Pei’s ear, tickling him so much that Yu Pei couldn’t help shrinking his neck as he said, “If my big brother discovers this, he might beat you up.”

“How could he beat me up?” Luo Changzhou asked back. “I’m happy to help classmates, tutoring Student Yu every day, and I even go to the trouble of picking up and dropping off Student Yu for school. Your big brother definitely wouldn’t bear to beat me up.”

Yu Pei could only say, “Then Uncle Zhang would be unemployed.”

Luo Changzhou’s voice was very pleasant to hear. He had already passed through puberty, so his voice had no roughness at all. It was deep and melodious like a cello in the night, plucking at Yu Pei’s heartstrings one note at a time. Yu Pei’s earlobes gradually reddened as he thought, how had he never noticed before that Luo Changzhou was so eloquent?

Even thinking this, his heart still felt as if it had been soaked in honey, sweet and delicious.

When Luo Changzhou saw that Yu Pei had stopped talking, his lips curving upward. After a while, he heard his Student Yu ask him, “Changzhou, how did you know… know… that sentence?”

“Which sentence?” Luo Changzhou pretended not to understand.

“Just—” Yu Pei paused, “Just the ‘the moonlight is beautiful tonight’ sentence…”

“Actually, I didn’t know it originally.” Luo Changzhou said, then sighed. “But who told me to like a certain little dummy? Every sentence he says, every text he sends me, I treat like reading comprehension – searching on Baidu, flipping through books, reading over and over. But the same indirect confession, my little dummy doesn’t even know to go Baidu that equation.”

“I didn’t know that equation meant that either…” Yu Pei defended quietly.

Luo Changzhou couldn’t hold back and reached out to flick his forehead gently. “Who uses that kind of letter paper to assign homework? Others use it to write love letters. This is why he’s a little dummy.”

Yu Pei covered his forehead and giggled foolishly. After a while, he tugged at Luo Changzhou’s sleeve and asked, “Then Changzhou, where’s my love letter?”

Luo Changzhou raised an eyebrow without speaking. The two entered the classroom one after the other with Gu Zheng, but this time, Luo Changzhou deliberately sat down before Yu Pei could sit, blocking Yu Pei’s path to his seat.

Yu Pei hugged his school bag, staring at him blankly.

Luo Changzhou took his school bag and placed it inside the seat, then handed Yu Pei both his and Yu Pei’s white porcelain cups, saying to Yu Pei, “Ah Pei, could you go get hot water today?”

“Oh, okay.” Previously, the hot water for their tea was always fetched by Luo Changzhou, so Yu Pei didn’t think anything of going once himself.

However, Luo Changzhou’s sudden request still seemed a bit strange to Yu Pei, so while getting hot water, he secretly kept an eye on whether Luo Changzhou was doing anything behind his back.

This observation actually revealed some clues. After he left, Luo Changzhou seemed to secretly stuff something into his desk drawer. However, the water dispenser was quite far from their seats, so he couldn’t see clearly what Luo Changzhou had placed there.

After returning to his seat with two cups of hot water, he saw Gu Zheng staring at Luo Changzhou and him with an indescribable expression.

Yu Pei looked toward Luo Changzhou and asked, “What did you put in my desk drawer?”

Luo Changzhou smiled and said, “You’ll know when you look.”

After speaking, Luo Changzhou stood up to let Yu Pei pass. After Yu Pei sat down, he began feeling around in his desk drawer, and immediately touched a somewhat thick envelope.

His heartbeat instantly lost its normal rhythm. He pulled out the envelope and brought it in front of him to look.

The envelope was deep blue, very thick, with silver embossed patterns on it. It didn’t look like the typical love letter that spring-fevered girls would send, but no one could guess this was a love letter written by a boy.

Tan Qiming, who sat in front of them, happened to turn around at this moment. As soon as he turned, he saw the envelope in Yu Pei’s hands and immediately shouted in surprise, “Yu Pei, whose love letter is this?”

Tan Qiming’s voice wasn’t quiet, so it immediately attracted the attention of many surrounding classmates.

Since Yu Pei had lost weight, he had completely transformed. There were still quite a few girls in the class secretly paying attention to him.

However, during the half year Yu Pei was on leave, none of the classmates in the class had visited him or shown concern for him, so everyone could only marvel inside at how good-looking he looked now.

However, everyone still harbored some desire to watch drama unfold, because Yu Pei’s previous crush on Qi Wenqiang was known to almost the entire class, and after he returned looking completely different, he seemed to have lost interest in Qi Wenqiang.

Now many girls from other classes, besides asking about Luo Changzhou and Gu Zheng, were also asking about Yu Pei. The students in Class One were all guessing whether he would get together with some girl who confessed to him.

Everyone had waited a long time but hadn’t seen anyone confess to Yu Pei. Now seeing him receive a love letter, they all gathered around wanting to hear some gossip.

Even Qi Wenqiang, who sat across from them, stretched her head over to look after hearing the commotion.

Yu Pei’s face turned bright red. He had originally wanted to open it to see what Luo Changzhou had written for him, but now he had to put the envelope back in his desk drawer.

Tan Qiming was still puzzled, thinking Yu Pei was going to throw away the love letter like Luo Changzhou, so he tried to dissuade him: “Why aren’t you reading it? It’s someone’s sincere feelings after all.”

Only Gu Zheng, who had witnessed everything from beginning to end, knew who had written this love letter.

He really couldn’t understand Luo Changzhou and Yu Pei. They were already together yet still played at writing love letters. Were romances between boys really that wonderful?

Seeing that Yu Pei really wasn’t going to read the love letter, everyone found it boring and dispersed. Luo Changzhou looked at Yu Pei’s red ear tips and smiled, but after just a few minutes, a girl came over with textbooks in her arms, her cheeks slightly flushed: “Student Luo Changzhou…”

Seeing this, Gu Zheng’s gaze immediately focused on Luo Changzhou and that girl.

Yu Pei was also stunned.

Luo Changzhou slightly restrained his smile and asked the girl, “Is there something you need?”

The girl glanced up at Luo Changzhou.

She looked a bit nervous but still smiled casually and said, “Oh, I saw that you weren’t reading right now, so I wanted to ask you how to solve the last problem in yesterday’s math homework.”
