Gu Bai felt a chill down his spine, feeling like his chastity is in danger.
He can’t believe that he, with the delicate body of Lu Rongqing, would be able to overpower a man with eight-pack abs hidden under his suit.
In order to protect his own chastity, Gu Bai can only endure Nie Qingcang’s dark expression and terrifying gaze, while also speeding up his completion of tasks…
Lu Rongqing is seventeen years old this year and attends a well-known private elite high school in City B.
The children in this school come from wealthy and powerful families. Although academics are important, they don’t need to work as hard as typical high school students to prepare for the future.
Apart from studying, they focus more on making friends and building connections, preparing for taking over their family businesses in the future. Therefore, the curriculum here is not intense and is quite relaxed and enjoyable.
In art class that day, Nan Lichen took everyone to a dedicated art studio. Half of the class was dedicated to teaching, while the other half was for free painting activities.
Painting is not Gu Bai’s strong suit.
Before transmigrating, he never went to school in the orphanage. All his knowledge was self-studied in the orphanage’s library, which he used as a decoration, and through his experiences after leaving the orphanage.
He has never learned something like painting, nor does he have the intention to learn. He was too preoccupied with the issue of food and his livelihood, so he didn’t have the leisure to learn such things.
And the original host was not a person with much artistic taste. Unfortunately, today Nan Lichen was teaching traditional Chinese ink painting, which is difficult and profound.
So, despite Gu Bai’s efforts to act like a well-behaved young boy and hold a brush to paint the two mandarin ducks projected on the blackboard, he ultimately only managed to draw two simple… ducks.
Or is it ducks? Gu Bai stared at his work uncertainly.
”It seems like you’re more suitable for learning oil painting…” A gentle male voice suddenly sounded in his ear. Nan Lichen somehow appeared next to him and leaned in to whisper in his ear with a faint smile, “You must be a talented abstract artist.”
”…” Gu Bai paused for a moment and then took a step forward before distancing himself from this close contact. He covered his work with his hand, and the tips of his ears turned pink, seeming a bit embarrassed.
Seeing his awkward reaction, Nan Lichen was very satisfied. He gently smiled and then reached out to ruffle Gu Bai’s soft hair, saying, “I was just kidding. You did very well for your first time. Painting requires talent as well as long-term practice. You’ll improve in the future. Let me teach you…”
Saying that, Nan Lichen held Gu Bai’s hand that was holding the brush from behind and helped him add strokes to the paper, creating a warm but not overly intimate atmosphere around Gu Bai.
Gu Bai didn’t speak or raise his head, but his pinkish ears became even redder. However, his eyes flickered with an interesting expression.
During this time, Nan Lichen started getting closer to him. This ambiguous interaction was a teasing method, which greatly entertained a person like Gu Bai, who hadn’t experienced much in terms of relationships.
In the story, Lu Rongqing was deceived in a similar way, but unfortunately, Gu Bai is not as naive as Lu Rongqing.
So whenever Nan Lichen seemed to be about to confess or anything of that sort, Gu Bai would interrupt with various ‘innocent’ ways, maintaining a uncertain attitude that made it hard for Nan Lichen to understand.
After all, even though he was just a naive and innocent young boy, Gu Bai found Nan Lichen more and more interesting, like a treasure waiting to be discovered. Gu Bai always gave him surprises unintentionally, like an unexplored treasure mountain, making him more and more interested.
Gu Bai doesn’t have to worry about explaining to Nie Qingcang about his rebellious ‘relationship’ with Nan Lichen. He just has to play along with Nan Lichen, pretending to be in love and acting ambiguous.
Nan Lichen often finds excuses to keep him after school, creating opportunities for them to be alone together. Luckily, during this time, Nie Qingcang happened to be on a business trip and wasn’t home.

Whenever Nan Lichen seems to want an opportunity to confess, Gu Bai would use various ‘unfocused’ ways to interrupt, maintaining an uncertain attitude that puzzles Nan Lichen.
After all, even though he was just an innocent and pure young boy, Gu Bai found Nan Lichen more and more interesting. It was like he was searching for a treasure; Gu Bai always unintentionally gave him surprises, as if he were an endless treasure mountain, making him more and more interested.
Gu Bai looked at his smile, feeling calm…
After that day, Nan Lichen’s attitude towards him became even more ambiguous. Whenever they were alone, he would gaze at him with an extremely gentle expression, as if there was an indescribable hidden affection in his eyes.
