Proofreader: Akimi

s.h.i.+ Bufan choked on the words and felt a ball of anger inside of him. The whole night, he was unable to feel any better since the moment he closed his eyes, he felt flame burning inside him.

This flame burned until the second morning when the little cla.s.smate appeared in front of him, in high spirits and even greeted him. Even then, he still felt angry.

Zhen Yuanbai saw s.h.i.+ Bufan’s unfriendly expression and tactfully closed his mouth, wanting to get around him, but the latter grabbed his backpack and pulled him into his arms. He said displeased, “What are you doing? Something happened this morning?”

“I think you don’t care about me.”

Meeting s.h.i.+ Bufan’s black and deep eyes, Zhen Yuanbai quickly recalled what Zhen Youxiu had said and he didn’t know how to respond.

He actually suffered from insomnia yesterday as well and he felt like he shouldn’t continue with s.h.i.+ Bufan. After all, they couldn’t really get married, right? In the end, they got together after an unexpected turn of events. Once s.h.i.+ Bufan recovered his memory, the show should be nearing its end.

“Who, who said that?” Zhen Yuanbai pulled his arm off his shoulders and reprimanded, “Your arms are heavy. Stop putting it around my shoulders.”

s.h.i.+ Bufan grinded his teeth.

The two, each, have different thoughts. One was worried while the other had malicious intentions.

These two days, the library was going to host a convention for anime, comics, and such. The school was buzzing with excitement and there were people coming over from nearby cities. Zhen Yuanbai normally didn’t pay attention to these while he was on the net. After hearing Song Mo mentioning this, he realized that a few famous cosplayers and online authors were coming.

This lit a popular trend nearby. There were sisters wearing beautiful dresses and… brothers pa.s.sing by. Although it was pretty uncommon, the outfits were good-looking.

s.h.i.+ Bufan glanced at it and suddenly said, “I think I remember.”

Zhen Yuanbai who was originally admiring the scene suddenly froze and then looked up. “Remember, remember what?”

s.h.i.+ Bufan stared at Zhen Yuanbai’s clear and fair white face while the latter was frightened by his voice. But he said slowly, “I remember a hand pus.h.i.+ng me…” He glanced at Zhen Yuanbai’s hands and the latter instinctively hid his hands. s.h.i.+ Bufan reached over to grab his hands, but Zhen Yuanbai wouldn’t give him it. But in terms of patience, he clearly wasn’t s.h.i.+ Bufan’s match, so he was forced to hand his hands over.

s.h.i.+ Bufan’s voice was soft, but for Zhen Yuanbai, it was earth-shattering. “It looks similar to your hands. Slender and white… but it shouldn’t be you right?”

Zhen Yuanbai immediately stiffened and said, “Of course it’s not me!”

“But it looks very similar to your hands.” s.h.i.+ Bufan placed Zhen Yuanbai’s hands on his palm and played with it. s.h.i.+ Bufan was trying to hold in his laughter, but he pretended to be thinking, “I actually heard of some things….”

He purposely didn’t continue and as expected, Zhen Yuanbai became impatient and probed, as if facing an enemy, “What’s the matter?”

“You normally walk home this way, so why did you coincidentally appear by the slope the day that I got in an accident?”

That day, Zhen Yuanbai was actually not feeling good, so he wanted to go home through a quiet path. Plus, the sunset was beautiful that day, but it doesn’t seem convincing. At least, that’s what he thought. He glanced at s.h.i.+ Bufan and said, “You, you remember everything?’

“Just a portion of it.”

Zhen Yuanbai sighed in relief when s.h.i.+ Bufan suddenly paused and said, “I suddenly remember some things again.”

Zhen Yuanbai’s tears fell down from his words and said, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears, “What, what things?”

“I think a girl pushed me.”

Zhen Yuanbai was confused.

“But how come the hand seems so similar to yours&#k2026;” While s.h.i.+ Bufan took advantage of this, he pretended to think hard. Zhen Yuanbai thought that he had an illusion, so he immediately decided to build onto the lies. He softly added, “You’re right. I remember that a girl had pa.s.sed by that day&#k2026;”

s.h.i.+ Bufan snapped his fingers and said, “Right, she must’ve been the one to push me. Do you remember her appearance?”

Zhen Yuanbai pretended to think hard as well before softly shaking his head. “I, I didn’t see her face…”

s.h.i.+ Bufan said, “Do you remember her clothes then?”

“…” Zhen Yuanbai had been making this up, following s.h.i.+ Bufan’s words. Under Zhen Yuanbai’s eager eyes, he slowly said, “I think she was wearing white, white clothes… she probably isn’t from our school.”

“Not from our school…” s.h.i.+ Bufan knitted his eyebrows and recalled, saying, “Why do I think she was wearing blue clothes?”

Seeing that their illusions were about to collide, Zhen Yuanbai hurriedly denied, “White clothes! I remember clearly. You, you don’t have a good memory.. You must’ve got it wrong.”

“Not wearing… school uniform, right?”

“Yes.” Zhen Yuanbai said sternly, “She’s clearly not wearing a school uniform. I think you most likely garnered hatred outside of school.”

“This is very possible.” s.h.i.+ Bufan finally let go of Zhen Yuanbai’s hands unwillingly. The latter immediately withdrew his hands and looked down, secretly wiping the sweat on his hands.

At this time, coincident or not, a lolita pa.s.sed by the two of them and s.h.i.+ Bufan praised, “So beautiful.”

Zhen Yuanbai followed his gaze only to see that girl laughing with her friends. s.h.i.+ Bufan’s praising expression became one that was surprising and said, “It’s a guy.”

Zhen Yuanbai returned around and started looking for books, staying quiet. The convention was officially going to begin tomorrow. It will definitely be crowded and he prepared to buy some books to read at home. s.h.i.+ Bufan shadowed him and walked over. Staring at his clean and fair white face, s.h.i.+ Bufan had an idea, “According to my self-understanding, there could only be a guy that I have enmity with. It shouldn’t be a girl.”

Zhen Yuanbai paused and pretended to calmly stand on his tippy toe, glancing at the book t.i.tle and saying, “Maybe you accidentally hurt a girl’s feelings.”

s.h.i.+ Bufan’s eyes flickered and said, “Do you think a guy disguised as a girl pushed me?”

Zhen Yuanbai glanced at s.h.i.+ Bufan like a monster and almost couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Why would you think that?”

s.h.i.+ Bufan’s deep eyes landed on his hands.

Zhen Yuanbai was speechless.

Could s.h.i.+ Bufan be suspicious of him again?

Suspicious that he had disguised as a girl and pushed him? Only because he remembered the hands?

Zhen Yuanbai’s smile faded and he instinctively hid his hands, looking forward to s.h.i.+ Bufan expanding on his discovery. But s.h.i.+ Bufan didn’t mention the questions he had anymore. Zhen Yuanbai was certain that he didn’t remember anything because he had confessed. Now, he shut his mouth and said nothing, making Zhen Yuanbai feel like a mess. He kept on feeling like s.h.i.+ Bufan had… seen through something.

Once he left the library, Zhen Yuanbai attempted to lure s.h.i.+ Bufan to continue. “It doesn’t seem too possible for a person to disguise as a girl and…”

“You find it impossible?”

When Zhen Yuanbai heard this, it sounded like, “since you find it impossible, you definitely know something.” The more he talked, the more mistakes he would make. Zhen Yuanbai was confused and didn’t dare to say anything more.

Next, s.h.i.+ Bufan treated him normally, but his gaze made Zhen Yuanbai feel like he had known everything, especially since he liked to play with Zhen Yuanbai’s hands lately. Every time he hid his hands, s.h.i.+ Bufan glanced at him meaningfully. Zhen Yuanbai felt very guilty, so he showed his hands.

“It’s almost Christmas.” s.h.i.+ Bufan said, “I heard that Ye Lian’s elder brother wants to prepare a masquerade ball during Christmas. Do you want to go?”

“Masquerade ball… what do you mean?”

s.h.i.+ Bufan raised his eyebrows and said, “Everyone will wear bizarre clothes and gather together for the ball. Then, they’ll wear their masks and no one will recognize each other. They can have fun however they want.”

Zhen Yuanbai followed the rules his entire life. Though he heard of this, he never experienced it before. He said, “They’re all people from our ages?”

“They should be between 18-30. It’s possible that Qiu Jing and the others might join in on the fun and they’ll lower the age differences.”

“Then it’s better if I don’t go.”

s.h.i.+ Bufan suddenly looked at him and jokingly said, “What? You’re afraid that I’ll make you wear a dress?”

“…”

Zhen Yuanbai suddenly realized.

s.h.i.+ Bufan probably wants to test whether he was the one that pushed him down. He probably wasn’t certain, so he purposely used the pretense of the masquerade ball. If he continues to reject him, he clearly will seem guilty. s.h.i.+ Bufan will be even more suspicious of him. This was the truth anyway. If s.h.i.+ Bufan continued to be suspicious, he might remember everything.

“Go.” Zhen Yuanbai tried to cover up and said, “Who’s scared of that? I’m not the one that disguised as a girl and pushed you off.”

Right. He wore his school uniform and pushed him off.

s.h.i.+ Bufan slowly said, “That’s not what I meant.”

“That’s what you mean. Aren’t you suspicious of me?” Zhen Yuanbai summoned the courage and said, “I’ll prove that this is all your fault!”

Once he said that, he angrily withdrew his hand and carried his backpack, leaving.

He didn’t know that s.h.i.+ Bufan was shaking with laughter once he left. He got home and lay in bed, observing his hands. Then, he harshly hit himself and said “Dang!”

Once his hands were red from slapping, he looked helplessly at the ceiling.

Now, if he wanted to prove his innocence… Does that mean he had to wear a dress?

He rolled on his side and hugged his hands, even more annoyed and confused whether he should be that close to s.h.i.+ Bufan…

Suddenly, a brazen thought flashed through his mind.

Right. He could beat s.h.i.+ Bufan at his own game. Once he proved his “innocence,” he’ll break up with s.h.i.+ Bufan under the excuse that he didn’t trust him.

He must make it seem like he was at the right. Of course, it’s best if he could break up. But if… s.h.i.+ Bufan couldn’t part with him, then, then they’ll continue to date?

Zhen Yuanbai wasn’t decisive enough. He rolled around in bed for a while and decided it’s most important to prove his innocence of the crime. He got out of bed in the middle of the night and sat in front of the table, playing out a situation and pretending to make things difficult for s.h.i.+ Bufan.

He knew that he’d be frightened by s.h.i.+ Bufan very easily, so he must prepare everything. After all, s.h.i.+ Bufan lost his memory. If he found out that he had misunderstood him, even if they don’t break up… at least in the future, he won’t threaten him anymore, right?

s.h.i.+ Bufan glanced at the three dresses in the drawer and then glanced at the row of animal onesies by the side. He felt more and more like a pervert.

His little cla.s.smate was so angry from just wearing the animal onesie. Will he cry after he forces him to wear the dress and then pushes him on the table, kissing him? He’ll definitely cry… s.h.i.+ Bufan closed the closet and threw himself on the bed.

Since he dared to mention breaking up, he should prepare to be kissed. Let him cry. After all, sooner or later, he’ll make me cry.

In the blink of an eye, it was Christmas Eve. Zhen Yuanbai received s.h.i.+ Bufan’s apple early in the morning and held the firm belief that s.h.i.+ Bufan was sophisticated, so he felt unsure.

Zhen Yuanbai didn’t know how Ye Lian’s elder brother looked, and he only knew that he had reserved a floor in the hotel. When they went inside, there wasn’t anyone. s.h.i.+ Bufan pulled Zhen Yuanbai into a dressing room, alone. Although he had long prepared for this, when s.h.i.+ Bufan really pulled out a snow-white dress, Zhen Yuanbai’s palms were soaked in sweat.

He was a bit regretful for saying that he wanted to prove his innocence. There was no way that he’d wear the clothes. He couldn’t help but say softly, “I really didn’t push you.”

s.h.i.+ Bufan raised his eyebrows and said, “Who said you pushed me?”

“…” As expected, the more he said, the more mistakes he made. Zhen Yuanbai regretted this even more. s.h.i.+ Bufan sat on the soft sofa and propped his chin up, glancing at him for a while before saying, “Lately, I have been dreaming a lot. Dreaming of what happened that day. A person in a white dress. At first, I could only see the hands, but because I have been thinking a lot recently, I gradually saw other things as well.”

Since s.h.i.+ Bufan had said this so convincingly, Zhen Yuanbai felt even more guilty. “What did you see?”

“I saw…” s.h.i.+ Bufan said with difficulty, “They seem to have a similar figure like you as well as their hair, etc. Don’t disturb me. I think I can remember. They had curly hair and the white dress seemed similar too. Wait, no. I think it changed… I can see it even more clearly now. I’m about to see his face. I… f*ck!”

Zhen Yuanbai splashed a cup of water on s.h.i.+ Bufan and the latter instantly stopped making things up. Zhen Yuanbai hurriedly placed the cup on the table and explained, “I thought that you were possessed by a ghost. In a moment of desperation… are you angry at me?”

“…Why would I be?”
