That night, Jiang Cheng slept rather soundly. Before he fell asleep, he had thought that he might be plagued by a dream or two, but it was all a blank sheet, and he slept straight through to the next day, only waking up from the bitter cold.

The sky outside was bright - he guessed that it was probably around seven or eight o'clock in the morning. The fire in the room had already died out, and the wind freely flowed in from the cracks in the windows. Jiang Cheng immediately let out a series of sneezes the moment he opened his eyes.

He stretched his hand out to the side and felt around, but there was nobody there.

He turned his head and discovered that Gu Fei was no longer beside him.

But before he could be surprised by the fact that Gu Fei had actually gotten up so early in the morning on a weekend, he froze as what had transpired the night before dawned on him.

Jiang Cheng sat up and reached his hand into his hair, roughly grabbing at it.

The alcohol had worn off.

The insanity had also worn off.

But the awkwardness, strangely, hadn't settled in yet.

Now, the only thing surrounding him was a vague sense of panic.

Jiang Cheng, what the hell have you done?!

The point is, what's done is done, but now, the person that you did it with has gone so far as to run off without leaving even a hint of his shadow so early in the morning... what the fuck?! What kind of fucking person is this?!

Jiang Cheng jumped off the sofa and circled the room twice, checking to see if Gu Fei's clothes, schoolbag, and everything else were all gone. That cowardly son of a bitch fled without leaving a trace?

Did he have to go that far?!

Even if it was just a casual hook up! There's no need to flee in panic like this!

Wouldn't that just make it awkward...

The only feeling that Jiang Cheng felt right then and there was that of utter fucking shame!

"Fucking piece of shit!" He cursed silently to himself and grabbed his phone, dialing Gu Fei's number after sneezing a couple of times.

After barely two rings, he suddenly heard the sound of a cell phone ringing from the other side of the door.

Someone's here?

Who is it?!

Bu Shi Hao Niao?

Li Yan?

Or maybe Ding Zhuxin?

Fuck, has the crime scene been cleaned properly?

When he finally realized that the ringtone outside the door was actually Gu Fei's, he had already gotten a back full of cold sweat from shock.

The door was pushed open, and Gu Fei came in carrying two steaming hot boxes of fast food: "Did you call me?"

"Ah," Jiang Cheng looked at him.

"Hurry up and eat, it's pho."[1] Gu Fei placed the boxes on the small table, "Li Yan just called me to go to the shop, so I went over to unlock it first."
