Ch26 – The Glass in the Bathroom is actually Semi-transparent

The novelty born out of the first day of rearing a new kitten didn’t fade.
Yan Qiu played with it for an entire day, and even after that, was not bored of it.
When the sky started gradually darkening, Ji Xinglan couldn’t help but urge him to go bathe and sleep.

Yan Qiu dragged the cushion the kitten used into the room.
The kitten was positioned at the corner of the room.
Then, he left it behind before entering the bathroom.

 

 

Yan Qiu had played with Lan Lan for an entire day, and even though kittens didn’t shed, he should still bathe it.

This apartment wasn’t very big, but he and Ji Xinglan were the only ones staying in an apartment of approximately one hundred square meters in size, so it was more than enough.
There was only one bathroom in the apartment, and it was next to the master bedroom.
When Yan Qiu entered the bathroom to bathe, Ji Xinglan had already finished bathing and had his legs casually propped on the bed.
He leaned against the pillow and played with his terminal. 

Last night, Yan Qiu had already bathed in Ji Xinglan’s room and he no longer found this entire situation weird.
Thus, he picked up his pyjamas and went into the bathroom to put hot water into the bathtub.

 

However, when Yan Qiu was halfway through washing, when he turned his head around to peer at the glass that turned misty from water vapor, and suddenly found something off.

The glass in the bathroom was semi-transparent, just like the glass used in love hotels.
When Yan Qiu looked through the glass from inside, he could vaguely see someone outside, and a light lit up at the bedside.
Even though he could not see clearly, the outline was still rather distinct.

Yan Qiu thought about it from another angle, and he instantly became nervous.
Since the person inside could see what was outside, then wouldn’t that mean that the person outside could see what was inside?

 

Even though the effect of looking at someone through the glass made it seem as if the person was heavily censored, to Yan Qiu, it was no different than being naked.

Yan Qiu felt so embarrassed and upset that his ears turned red.
He really wanted to immediately run out to kick Ji Xinglan.

This was too much! He actually installed a glass that inspired a lot of sex appeal in the bathroom.
What on earth was he thinking?!

 

The bathroom was filled with water vapor and, with a red face, Yan Qiu quickly finished bathing.
He used his hand to tug his pyjamas around himself tightly and quickly kicked the door open to look through the glass from outside. 

He knew it.
He could see through what was inside as well, although it was blurry.

Yan Qiu was worried that Ji Xinglan had seen his shameful secret.
In anger, he wished to demand answers from Ji Xinglan, but he saw that Ji Xinglan was simply on the bed, seriously reading a book.

The light from the bedside table shone on his face diagonally, illuminating his straight nose to the point that it appeared as if it was reflecting light.
He had a pair of thin, metallic glasses placed casually on his nose, and it gave him a strange frigidity.

When he saw Yan Qiu moving, he looked up, and his deep-set eyes were calm.
He seemed to be waiting for Yan Qiu to speak. 

The honest look on his face made him seem like he had seen nothing, and this made Yan Qiu feel like he was just being paranoid.

Suddenly, Ji Xinglan quirked an eyebrow at him, and Yan Qiu found himself tongue-tied.
He didn’t know how to start the conversation.

“Ji Xinglan, why is the glass in your bathroom semi-transparent? Did you install it intentionally?” Yan Qiu realized that his voice was not as imposing as he wanted to.
Instead, it was a little soft.

When he heard this question, Ji Xinglan was a little surprised.
“Did I do it intentionally?” 

“Why is the glass in the bathroom semi-transparent?” Yan Qiu pointed at the bathroom.

“Really?” Yan Qiu was still a little doubtful, but he felt that Ji Xinglan made sense as well.

It was impossible that Ji Xinglan chose this glass.
Who knew just how many houses he had under his name.
In fact, he might not have participated in the renovation of this apartment at all.

Yan Qiu found himself tongue-tied for a moment, and he stared at the glass.
“Well, just change the glass in the bathroom.
Please make sure that they can’t be seen through.”

Ji Xinglan knew that Yan Qiu was worried that he would act like a rascal toward him, and he found it interesting.
It seemed like he had bullied Yan Qiu a little too much, and Yan Qiu was now a bit wary of him. 

Ji Xinglan didn’t bother to argue with him.
He merely flipped a page of the book in his hand.
Then, he said calmly, “Are you shy? I won’t look.”

Yan Qiu really wanted to bite Ji Xinglan’s head off.

He felt that it was impossible for him to ever be able to get the upper hand when arguing with Ji Xinglan.
Even though he was in the right, Ji Xinglan could still argue in such an unreasonable manner that Yan Qiu was effectively rendered speechless.

“I don’t care.
We have to change it.
Bathing in that sort of bathroom was no different than running around naked.” Yan Qiu insisted.

Ji Xinglan closed the book on his knees gently, producing a light thud.
He also removed the metal-rimmed glasses from his nose and said slowly, “Seriously, why would you think I’d peek at you?”

Yan Qiu looked at him in slight disdain.

‘It’s because you always act like a hooligan!’

Yan Qiu noticed that he couldn’t win this argument at all.
If he continued along these lines, he would seem like he was a narcissist, so he could only pout.
“…It’s not as if there’s nothing nice to look at.” 

Ji Xinglan stared at the boy in front of him before he suddenly reached out and grabbed his forearm with one hand.
With the other, he grabbed his waist, and with one yank, he pulled Yan Qiu into his arms.

Yan Qiu, who was caught off guard, was captured and dragged into his arms.
He struggled a little, but failed to break free.
So, he could only lay against him limply.
Once he calmed down, Ji Xinglan held his hand and kissed his knuckles in a gentle manner.

His eyes were profound and bright as he stared at Yan Qiu deeply.
He opened his mouth and said softly, “Of course you look good.
But I won’t do anything perverted, because it’ll make you unhappy.
I’ll have someone change the glass tomorrow.”

Yan Qiu stared into his eyes dazedly.
He felt that his mind was a little blank.
‘He’s really good with spewing all these honeyed words, and I… I’m actually affected by his sweet words to the point that my heart started racing.’ 

Yan Qiu was dumbfounded.
He could only let Ji Xinglan push him down against the soft bed.
Ji Xinglan lifted his pyjamas and started biting and kissing his neck.
His actions were filled with a sense of possessiveness, as if he was marking his possession.
He left behind faint kiss marks on Yan Qiu’s pale neck.

 

 

That night, before they slept, Yan Qiu placed the kitten on the cushion, but through some unknown method, it had managed to climb on the bed, and it slept beside their pillow in a small, curled up ball.

Its soft fur brushed against Yan Qiu’s face.
Yan Qiu reached out and grabbed its soft fur, but he didn’t chase it down.
He just let it sleep on the top of the bed. 

As a result, his tenderness toward the kitten led to Yan Qiu being woken up by the kitten the next morning as it nuzzled against him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a furry head and a pair of shiny, big, black eyes.
The kitten started mewling happily when it saw Yan Qiu open his eyes.

But in the next second, someone grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and tossed it off the bed.

Ji Xinglan hugged the person in his arms tightly and tugged at the blankets. 

After raining for an entire night, it stopped.
The air in the morning was humid and refreshing.
Yan Qiu tiptoed out of bed and hugged the kitten before he opened the window to let air in.

Yan Qiu filled up half of the kitten’s bowl with cat food and watched it as it finished the food.

Today, they would bring it to get some vaccines.

The fur of a two month old kitten was not especially thick.
Yan Qiu was worried that it would fall sick if it was exposed to the wind outside.
Therefore, he wrapped it in a towel until it was a kitten dumpling. 

Holding the kitten, he went downstairs.
Ji Xinglan drove them to a pet hospital so that they could deworm the kitten.

The kitten would occasionally cause trouble, but when it was supposed to be serious, it became very obedient.
It didn’t cause a ruckus or make any noise, obediently allowing the veterinarian to move it about.

Once they were done, Yan Qiu went to the shop to buy toys for it.
He also went to the supermarket downstairs to buy a curtain so that he could hang it when he bathed.
In this way, they could skip changing the glass.

All the while, Yan Qiu noticed that Ji Xinglan was also someone who said one thing, but did another.
He might have said that he didn’t like animals, but just a moment ago, he had taken the kitten from Yan Qiu’s arms and used his finger to toy with its tail. 

However, he had tossed the kitten out of the bed today, it seemed to be upset with him, preferring for Yan Qiu to hug it.

Ji Xinglan toyed with it for a while before the kitten suddenly meowed at him obediently.
Then, it kicked its legs with an innocent look on its face.

Yan Qiu looked down.
The kitten had actually peed, and the suspect was still mewing shamelessly, as if innocent.

Ji Xinglan was speechless.
He stared at the wet stain that had appeared on his shirt, and he quietly stuffed the kitten back into Yan Qiu’s arms. 

 

Once they returned from the supermarket, Ji Xinglan insisted on not holding the naughty kitten anymore.

 

He parked his car in the underground basement and unbuckled the seatbelt before he got down.
He went round the car to the passenger’s seat before he went to open the car door for Yan Qiu.
Yan Qiu got out of the car with the kitten to ride the elevator up.

While they were waiting for the elevator, Ji Xinglan seemed to be fiddling with something on his terminal.
He then raised his head and said to Yan Qiu, “I’ve helped you apply for the status of a commuting student.
You don’t need to stay in the dorms anymore in the future.” 

“Okay,” Yan Qiu said.

“Tomorrow, go and pack up some stuff from your dorm and bring it over after school.”

The indicator in front of them let out a light “ding”.
The elevator had arrived.
Holding the kitten, Yan Qiu entered the elevator behind Ji Xinglan.

Ji Xinglan pushed the button to their floor and said in a nonchalant manner, “Oh, by the way, there’s a piece of good news.” 

Yan Qiu was scratching the kitten’s chin.
He looked at Ji Xinglan.
“What is it?”

Could it be that Ji Xinglan didn’t intend to be with him anymore?

“Starting from tomorrow, I’ll be temporarily changing schools and I’m attending lessons in your class.”

When he heard this, Yan Qiu was so shocked that his jaw went slack. 

“Why are you coming here?!” Yan Qiu asked in puzzlement.
Why was Ji Xinglan not attending lessons in his own school? What trick was he playing now?

“To comfort you.” Ji Xinglan said seriously, “Your estrus period might come at any moment, and I’m worried about you.
But there are plenty of alphas in the military school, so I can’t have you transferred over.
It’ll just be for a few months.
Once the irregular estrus period is over, I’ll go back.”

“…You’re changing schools so casually? The headmaster won’t agree to it.” Yan Qiu protested weakly.

“I’ve already spoken to him, and he agreed to it.” Ji Xinglan emphasized. 

Ji Xinglan had already completed all the courses that he was required to take during his time in military school, and he obtained S-rank for all classes.
Even if he did not go to class, he could still get his graduation certificate.

Yan Qiu looked as if the world had ended.

 

As expected, Ji Xinglan didn’t wear the military school uniform the next day.
Instead, he was dressed casually. 

He really did intend to follow Yan Qiu to school.

Yan Qiu could do nothing about it, so he could only stuff his breakfast into his mouth as he sized up the man in front of him quietly.

 

He found it a little strange.
Clearly, they were just in a sham of a marriage, but the possessiveness Ji Xinglan always showed toward him was ridiculously strong.
It was as if he always wanted Yan Qiu within his field of view.

Could it be because of the child? But Ji Xinglan did not look like someone who liked children. 

Today, they ate potato pancakes for breakfast.
They used the leftover potatoes from the day before yesterday.

Before they went to school, Yan Qiu poured a sufficient amount of cat food and water in the kitten’s bowl before he carried his bag and went down with Ji Xinglan.

As he watched his back, Yan Qiu sighed.

From today onwards, all the girls’ gazes that were supposed to be focused on him would be snatched by this guy again. 

Mogumoguchan: “Could it be that Ji Xinglan did not intend to be with him anymore?” You wish, Yan Qiu.
Also, Yan Qiu obliviousness counter = 2++++.
