Chapter 52: Zhuo Feng, You're Too Dirty
Back in Room 601.
Lin Wan took off the cap and face mask.
Then she fanned her face with her hand.
Man, it's getting hotter and hotter.
"Brother, I'll put the stuff—"
Zhuo Feng had already left the toothbrushes and toothpaste in the room next door. Carrying the bag with the body wash and shampoo, he walked into Room 601.
When he saw Lin Wan's fair face, lightly flushed pink, with her lips slightly pouted as she breathed out to cool herself down, he froze for a moment.
It's only been a few days since I last saw my bro. Why does ‘he’ seem a little different again?
With those big eyes and that innocent look, he doesn't seem like a guy at all anymore.
Could my bro actually be a girl?
But his ID clearly says male.
And his figure is as flat as a board...
Although... his butt does seem a little round...
Damn it, what am I looking at?
Zhuo Feng, you're too dirty!
He coughed awkwardly and looked away. "Ahem... I'll just leave these on the table."
"Aren't you putting them in your room?"
Hearing Lin Wan's normal masculine voice, Zhuo Feng finally calmed down.
Yeah, definitely a guy.
Just... a really good-looking one.
"It's more convenient to leave them here."
...More convenient for me to come visit.
"Oh."
Lin Wan didn't really understand what was so convenient about it.
After resting for a while, she didn't feel as hot anymore.
She played with a strand of her hair and wondered if the reason she felt so hot was because her hair had gotten too long.
It also seemed to be growing unusually fast lately.
Should I just shave it all off?
That would probably feel much cooler.
Looking at the slightly damp strand of hair on Lin Wan's forehead, Zhuo Feng said,
"If you're hot, just turn on the air conditioner."
"But the electricity bill will be so expensive! You know how much power the school air conditioners use. They're like electricity-eating monsters!"
"It's free. The school pays for it, not you."
"Where's the remote? Hurry, hurry!"
The moment she heard the word free, Lin Wan immediately started searching the room for the remote control.
If the school's paying for it, I might as well make full use of it!
After they turned on the air conditioner, Zhuo Feng shut the dorm door with a bang, then closed the window too.
Watching Lin Wan straighten the bedsheets, he smiled mischievously.
"Brother, where's your laptop?"
"It's in my laptop bag. Do you need it?"
"Yeah. Didn't we buy some snacks just now? I want to find something good to watch while we eat."
Lin Wan handed him the laptop bag.
"The mouse and network cable are in there too. Set it up yourself. I'm going to mop the floor."
Zhuo Feng connected everything and turned on the laptop.
There was no password.
"Brother, I'm looking through your hard drive, okay? I'll check if you have any viruses."
"Go ahead."
"I'm opening your browser."
"Go ahead."
"I'm opening your QQ."
"Oh, you're so annoying. If you want to look, then just look."
He had already interrupted her train of thought while she was mopping.
Of course, even though he said that, Zhuo Feng had no intention of actually looking.
He respected his bro's privacy.
Yes...
He really did.
He only wanted to test how much his good brother trusted him, and how important he was in his bro's heart.
Now it seemed that his bro trusted him completely.
He couldn't betray that trust.
So instead, he found a horror movie with excellent reviews and waited for Lin Wan to finish cleaning so they could watch it together.
Let's see if this doesn't scare my bro.
Tonight, I'll make sure he won't dare sleep alone!
After mopping the floor, Lin Wan noticed dust on the table.
He found a cleaning cloth and began wiping the tables, chairs, and cabinets.
Zhuo Feng waited for quite a while.
Seeing that Lin Wan was still cleaning, he simply sat there and watched ‘him’ work.
He watched the long, slender legs that became straight and firm whenever Lin Wan bent over.
He watched the rounded, full shape of his hips as his pants tightened while he crouched down.
He watched the edge of his shirt slide upward when he stood on tiptoe, revealing a strip of smooth, fair skin around his waist.
How did this feel like a married couple living together, with the husband watching his wife do housework?
Zhuo Feng swallowed and stopped looking at that patch of fair skin. He adjusted his gun barrel, then crossed his legs.
After wiping the tables and chairs, Lin Wan mopped the dirty spots on the floor again and stretched her back.
Finally done.
Zhuo Feng placed the laptop on the clean desk and said to Lin Wan, "I found a good one to watch. Want to watch it together?"
Lin Wan immediately gave him a knowing smile. "Which actress?"
"Donnie Wahlberg's."
"Tsk, it's a Western one?"
Zhuo Feng closed the blackout curtains, and the dorm room instantly became dark. The two of them moved small stools in front of the computer.
Under Lin Wan's excited gaze, Zhuo Feng clicked play.
A few minutes later.
Lin Wan stared at the screen.
Why does this feel different from what I imagined?
The kind of plot she was expecting never appeared.
The slightly gray-looking movie scenes felt very depressing.
"Zhuo Feng, is this really a good one?"
"Yeah. You'll know later."
When the first horror scene appeared.
Lin Wan blinked. This is clearly a horror movie!
But the story was actually pretty good, so it could barely count as something worth watching.
Zhuo Feng noticed that his good brother wasn't scared at all and slightly frowned.
He had no choice but to pull out Plan B.
Then, his body suddenly shook, and a terrified expression appeared on his face.
"Fuck!"
He grabbed Lin Wan's hand and buried half of his face into her shoulder.
Lin Wan: "..."
Bro, can you have a little more courage?
It hasn't even been long, and you're already this scared. What a waste of being so tall.
A while later.
Zhuo Feng had completely leaned his face against Lin Wan and was holding her arm while trembling.
He thought to himself that this arm was terrifyingly soft.
No, wait! I mean this movie is really scary.
"Do you want me to open the curtains?" Lin Wan kindly suggested when she saw how scared her good brother was.
"No... no need. Horror movies are only fun with this kind of atmosphere."
Lin Wan looked up speechlessly.
Really? You're scared but still want to watch.
She took a crunchy bite of a potato chip.
Movies were fake. What was there to be afraid of?
"Lin Wan."
"Hm?"
"Give me a potato chip."
"Take one yourself."
"I'm just a tiny bit scared. Just a tiny bit!"
"Pfft—"
Hearing her good brother say that, she immediately laughed.
So this is what a 1.8-meter-tall guy is like?
That's it?
You're still hiding behind me like a little lamb!
"Tsk."
At this moment, Lin Wan's confidence reached its peak. She fed her good bro a potato chip. After watching him finish it, she happily asked,
"Anything else you want?"
A strong person should protect the weak!
Zhuo Feng hid the smile forming at the corner of his mouth and continued acting scared.
"Give me a bite of Weilong (snack brand)."
"Here."
"One peanut."
"Okay."
At that moment, Lin Wan felt extremely proud.
She could calmly watch a horror movie, but her bro couldn't!
If she could do something that someone else couldn't, it was natural to feel a little proud.
So she happily fed her bro throughout the entire movie.
By the end, she didn't feel that the movie was very scary at all.
But Zhuo Feng was completely different. His two hands were holding her shoulders, and his face was buried against her back. His large body had curled up into an even larger ball.
Lin Wan was speechless.
What a coward!
Zhuo Feng had something to say, ‘So soft!’
After the movie ended, Zhuo Feng originally wanted to pick another horror movie and continue having fun.
But Lin Wan immediately rejected the idea.
How could they waste a perfectly good afternoon watching movies?
They should play ranked matches and earn some extra money instead!
In the end, Zhuo Feng, who failed to get any more chances to take advantage of the situation, could only leave disappointed and go to Chen Jie's place to get his computer back.
