He had just managed to walk in stride with Mo Huaifeng, Mo Huaifeng turned and darted a glance at him. “Childish.”
He slowed down his pace and hesitated for very long before he restrained the impulse of wanting to give Mo Huaifeng a slap across the back of his head.
Both of them walked towards the bus stop.
Mo Huaifeng had obviously studied the routes beforehand, knowing exactly which bus to take. Though Ji Zhiyao did not say it, he was bursting with joy at heart, and followed behind Mo Huaifeng like a little tail, feeling very satisfied.
After more than an hour of a bumpy bus ride, Mo Huaifeng and Ji Zhiyao alighted.
Not too far out was the mammoth sign of Disneyland, Ji Zhiyao looked into the distance with squinted eyes and saw a sea of people. The sounds of laughter and shouting belonging to children vaguely sounded in his ears, he rubbed his ears, saying, “There’s a considerable amount of people.”
“Slightly better than back home.”
Ji Zhiyao smiled. “Of course, after all my China is a prosperous country. By the way, Captain, I think all these require us to queue for tickets, what do you want to do?”
Mo Huaifeng thought for a moment. “Ferris wheel.”
Ji Zhiyao’s right foot tripped over his left and he almost fell flat on his face.
After he regained his balance in a fluster, he patted his ears, asking, “Captain what did you say? Can you repeat yourself, I didn’t hear you clearly?”
Mo Huaifeng was good-tempered for once. “Ferris wheel.”
Ji Zhiyao swallowed, even dumping the address of “Captain” as he said anxiously in a lowered voice, “No, I mean us two big guys queuing up to go on the Ferris wheel... Don’t you think it’s very weird?”
Mo Huaifeng kept silent for a moment, then said against his will, “Nope.”
Was he the only one who felt like doing this was very gay?
Ji Zhiyao looked complicatedly towards Mo Huaifeng and found that the peacefulness in his expression seemed to be coupled with some uncertainty, as if he really didn’t understand what was so wrong... This made Ji Zhiyao instantly throw certain strange thoughts to the back of his mind, saying generously and fondly, “Then we’ll go play that.”
“What kind of look was that?”
“Fondness, was it very obvious?”
Mo Huaifeng raised his hand and gave Ji Zhiyao a knock on his head.
Ji Zhiyao felt very aggrieved. “Captain, I’m working very hard to help you fulfill your wish, why am I still getting hit?”
“... Shut up.”
If it wasn’t for the lousy idea from the onlookers on Tieba, he definitely wouldn’t go on such a childish ride.
He was already beginning to worry, how exactly his image in Ji Zhiyao’s heart looked like right now.
The two of them queued for tickets and stood at a side waiting. After a one entire hour, it was then their turn to go on the Ferris wheel.
Mo Huaifeng specially chose the inner seats that were closer to the wheel hub. When the safety bars were put in place, Ji Zhiyao somehow felt that there was something amiss.
He swallowed his saliva and asked, uncertain, “These safety bars look quite different from those that I’ve seen in the past?”
Mo Huaifeng had turned his head to the side as soon as Ji Zhiyao had said the first word, pretending like he hadn’t heard him. When the Ferris wheel gradually begin moving and it was confirmed that Ji Zhiyao had bitten the bait, Mo Huaifeng then turned back, saying indifferently, “They’re about the same.”
“I wasn’t educated much; don’t you fool me.”
Upon hearing that, Mo Huaifeng looked towards him with meaning, his fingers lightly touching the tightly shut hatch door. “Even if I did, you can’t get off now.”
Unknowingly it seemed like he’d been cheated by Captain again, Ji Zhiyao involuntarily hugged himself tighter.
While the Ferris wheel had not gained speed, he seriously looked around his surroundings and at the same time, instinctively placed his hand on the safety bar around his waist.
Mo Huaifeng caught this action, instantly his envisioned image at heart of “Ji Zhiyao becoming scared later on and will come jumping into his arms” gained a little more chance.
At this point, the Ferris wheel had completely sped up.
Mo Huaifeng reckoned that it was about time and hence called out, “Ji Zhiyao.”
Ji Zhiyao turned his head confusedly. “Huh, what’s wrong Captain?”
“Why don’t we...”
“AHHHHHHH! WHAT THE F*CK IT’S MOVING! OH MY GOD I’M GOING TO DIE AHHHHHH SOMEONE SAVE ME! !”
Ji Zhiyao’s screams caused by the change in the track of the gondola led to the rest of Mo Huaifeng’s words being neglected. What made Mo Huaifeng despair was that, although Ji Zhiyao screamed very loudly, but his pair of eyes were bright, no sign of fear to be found at all.
Mo Huaifeng kept silent for a while. When the Ferris wheel resumed its normal speed, he adjusted his complicated state of mind and called out again, “Ji Zhiyao.”
“Hmm? Oh yes, Captain, what did you want to say earlier?”
“I said, why don’t we...”
“AHHHHH! OH F*CK HAHAHAHAHAHA IT’S STARTING TO MOVE AGAIN! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!”
Along with Ji Zhiyao’s excited screams, after a while, the gondola returned to his original track. This time before Mo Huaifeng had opened his mouth, Ji Zhiyao thought of it first and asked, “Captain, what exactly did you want to say just now?”
“Nothing.” Mo Huaifeng was expressionless. “Just wanted to ask, weren’t you objecting to playing this earlier?”
Ji Zhiyao replied happily, “I still thought that this Ferris wheel would be one of those PDA rides that couples use for their dates, the very gay kind, didn’t expect it to be this fun. Captain, seems like I’ve misunderstood you.”
“Okay.”
“Nothing else you want to say?”
“No more.”
“That’s done. Hey, it’s starting again! Captain why aren’t you screaming? Come come, scream out loud with me!”
Suddenly didn’t feel like confessing anymore, his heart was so tired.
He finally understood, Ji Qingge’s marveling expression at the beginning, it totally wasn’t an exaggeration.
Mo Huaifeng kept a long face. Till they had gotten off the ferris wheel, Ji Zhiyao was in beaming in great spirits for a while before he noticed abnormality of his Captain. Hence he stopped his in steps and asked with a very concerned tone, “Captain, you’ve been acting weirdly since we got off the Ferris wheel. What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Huaifeng instantly felt better deep down. But he thought of his grievance from earlier, and his expression was still rather dark as he said deceitfully, “No.”
However, Ji Zhiyao completely could not get the point, selectively blind as he tugged on Mo Huaifeng’s arm. “Then why are you pulling a long face? Let’s go let’s go I’ll take you around for other rides!”
“... Damn it.”
This confession that was filled with significance and meticulously planned by Mo Huaifeng for a long time, finally came to an end because of Ji Zhiyao’s obliviousness.
On the way back to the hotel, because Mo Huaifeng’s expression was really too sullen, Ji Zhiyao didn’t even dare to talk to him. He secretly stole several glances, then pulled out his phone and poked Nuo.
[MelonRind: Daddy Nuo, mayday!]
Because they were on break, Nuo replied very quickly.
[LittlePrinceDominatingTheNorth-East: What’s wrong? Lost your way? Not enough money? How much do you want?]
[MelonRind: Much scarier than all these..._(:_??)_ ]
[LittlePrinceDominatingTheNorth-East: I suddenly have an ill feeling... f*ck don’t say it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to take it.]
[MelonRind: No, daddy, save me.]
[MelonRind: Already known: Captain strongly requested to go on the Ferris wheel at Disneyland, I didn’t want to at first, but after being forced onto it I realized it was very interesting so I enjoyed myself more than Captain. But now Captain’s face is super sullen, even worse than the time when you rebutted Coach Kang. Need to know: What’s up with Captain, and, do I still have any hopes of salvaging things?]
[LittlePrinceDominatingTheNorth-East: Seeking help is just seeking help, why must you bring up my dark past? You’re most likely a goner!]
[LittlePrinceDominatingTheNorth-East: Hold on, what did you say that you and Captain went on?]
[LittlePrinceDominatingTheNorth-East: What the f*ck, did I go blind?]
[LittlePrinceDominatingTheNorth-East: This won’t do; I must post a Weibo status to express my shock. You don’t have to worry too much either, bring out your drive from when you were a demon at the base, after all Captain won’t really eat you up.]
[MelonRind: Daddy, if you still wish to see me in the future, don’t post that Weibo status...]
[LittlePrinceDominatingTheNorth-East: It’s already too late, praying for you.]
[MelonRind: ...]
Ji Zhiyao wailed out loud and quickly opened Weibo. After refreshing his feed, he realized that Nuo indeed wasn’t fooling him.
[Mix.NuoV: Risking my life to reveal a gossip for you guys: Turns out there is a little princess living in the heart of a certain man who resents the whole world, the kind that likes theme park ferris wheels. My jaw has dropped off from the shock, I’ll go get a jaw fitted first.]
Ji Zhiyao felt uncomfortable all over.
Just as he was thinking hard about what method he should use to conceal his sin, his phone that was gripped in his hand was suddenly pulled out by someone.
Ji Zhiyao lifted his head and helplessly watched as Mo Huaifeng’s expression turned from a peaceful one to a cold smile.
... Damn it!
He just shouldn’t have asked for help from Nuo that unreliable person!
Originally he was only struggling on the edge of life and death, looking at things now, he could just pick a cemetery for himself and buy a coffin already.
Mo Huaifeng threw the phone to Ji Zhiyao, Ji Zhiyao caught it in a flurry and smiled apologetically. “Captain, did you hurt your hand?”
Mo Huaifeng tugged the corner of his lips. “What do you think?”
“Then you must have! Come come come, Captain, I’ll blow on it for you.”
Ji Zhiyao lifted Mo Huaifeng’s arm with a flattering face and forcefully blew twice on his hand, then massaged it, asking fawningly, “Captain, do you feel better?”
His palm was little itchy, and certain thoughts in his mind became more tempting. Becoming aware of this point, Mo Huaifeng abruptly pulled back his hand and faced the unsettled Ji Zhiyao with a cold expression. “What did you talk about with Nuo?”
“Nothing much, just discussed our itinerary for a bit.”
“Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist.”
“We only had a simple discussion about why you were pulling a long face ever since we got off the Ferris wheel.”
Mo Huaifeng’s expression gradually eased up. “The outcome?”
Ji Zhiyao raised his phone, replying honestly, “The outcome was that Nuo that bastard secretly made a Weibo post about it behind my back.”
Mo Huaifeng was silent for a while, his eyes fixed onto Ji Zhiyao as he asked in a low voice, “You really want to know why?”
For some reason, upon hearing these words, along with Mo Huaifeng’s expression and tone, Ji Zhiyao became oddly nervous. He carefully mulled over its content, feeling that there was nothing amiss, he thus nodded. “Kind of do want to know.”
Mo Huaifeng seemed very satisfied, and he said, “I’ll tell you later.”
Did that need to be kept a secret?
He looked slightly speechlessly out of the window and realized that the taxi had already arrived at their accommodation and came to a stop.
Mo Huaifeng paid the fare, the two of them alighted one after the other and headed upstairs.
Ji Zhiyao walked to the front of his own door and was thinking of discussing with Mo Huaifeng what they should have for dinner. The moment he turned his head, he found Mo Huaifeng standing without a sound behind him.
Ji Zhiyao was taken aback, moving half a step back, he asked, while still in a state of shock, “Captain, why don’t you make a sound when you walk.”
Mo Huaifeng did not speak.
Ji Zhiyao was slightly weirded out, just as he was about to tease him more, the light before his eyes was unexpectedly blocked by the figure that took a step forward, immediately after that a warm and moist touch on his lips.
A few seconds later, Mo Huaifeng moved back as if nothing had happened, and stood with two hands in his pockets, silently watching Ji Zhiyao who was still in a daze.
Ji Zhiyao continued to be rooted to the ground.
After a long time, he shouted at the top of his voice, “What the f*ck.”
Ji Zhiyao took a few steps back, his back pushing hard against the door as he asked in a terrified manner, “Captain, did you have some strange dream last night? Your heat period is here?”
Mo Huaifeng looked at Ji Zhiyao, whose face turned from a pale white to a red flush then purple and tried his best to maintain a level tone. “Stop pretending, it is what you think it is. I was upset earlier because of this too. Till 6 PM this evening, I’ll wait for your answer.”
With that, he did not look at Ji Zhiyao’s expression but walked directly towards his own room and swiped his key card to enter.
Hearing the click of a door closing, Ji Zhiyao let out an “oh” as an afterthought, then absentmindedly took out his room key from his pocket and entered the room.
He slammed the door and dove headfirst into his blankets.
The half of his neck that was left outside had already become a deep purple color.
...
After finishing a set of mock papers, Ji Qingge threw the core of an apple that she had finished nibbling on into the trash bin and picked up another from the fruit basket, eating as she swung around on her swivel chair.
The table suddenly vibrated, she picked up the phone on it and read her latest WeChat text.
[DB.MHF: I told your brother.]
Ji Qingge frowned and chewed on her apple twice. When the meaning of those words hit her, she choked on the apple and almost coughed till she was half dead.
[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: Not bad Fi-god, amazing speed. What did my brother say? He was probably shocked senseless wasn’t he, otherwise you wouldn’t be approaching me.]
[DB.MHF: Indeed.]
[DB.MHF: But he just updated a Weibo status.]
[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: I’ll go take a look.]
Ji Qingge hastily entered Weibo and found Ji Zhiyao’s profile. One look, she almost grew abs from laughing too hard.
[IndefiniteFutureV: ? ? ? [Confused Nick Young.jpg] ]
Her brother might have become retarded.
[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: LOL my brother has always taken pride in being a straight guy, he would definitely become dumbfounded after being suddenly confessed to. Fi-god hold tight, don’t panic, let me go fish for some information.]
[DB.MHF: Okay, thanks.]
What was there to thank about this, she was looking forward to her brother being able to marry a good person.
Ji Qingge deliberated for a while, then sent Ji Zhiyao a WeChat text.
[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: Brother, I saw your Weibo. What’s wrong? Got bullied?]
