Vol 1 Chapter 2 (1/2)
CHAPTER 2 - CAN WE BE FRIENDS?
The movie ”Like Love” was adapted from this novel.
************************************************************
The volume of the two in the room became softer, so it is almost impossible to hear the conversation between them (Mai Ding and Li Ming) in the room. When Li Ming was rather anxious as he asked Mai Ding the answer for the question, Mai Ding was very confident and insistent in his reply that An Zi Yan does not like guys.
He feels that by doing so, he is helping An Zi Yan keep this a secret. But who knows, whether Mai Ding has any personal motives behind keeping it?
He wants to be friends with An Zi Yan because Mai Ding’s life has always been nothing but normal. Even his friends around him are common and not particularly interesting in terms of characters. So, this time, he accidentally found out that An Zi Yan is bis.e.xual, and that made him want to find some entertainment in his life. He did this so that when he has grandchildren, he will be able to proudly tell them that grandpa used to have a bis.e.xual friend.
Not sure if Mai Ding can wait till the day he is filled with grandchildren.
In the evening, Mai Ding went out of his room with his hair totally wet and knocked on the door of room 501.
After knocking for a b.l.o.o.d.y long time, An Zi Yan unwillingly open the door, and Mai Ding gave a bright smile while saying, “Cla.s.smate, may I borrow your hairdryer?”
“No.” The door closed with a bang.
Mai Ding always knew that An Zi Yan was a cold person, but he didn’t expect An Zi Yan to be that cold, as his (Mai Ding) smile didn’t even have any effect or help at all.
The next day, Mai Ding went to An Zi Yan’s room door and knocked again at the same timing.
“Cla.s.smate, may I borrow your shower room? Our pipe is clogged.”
“No.”
On the third day, Mai Ding continues being shameless.
“Cla.s.smate, can I use your toilet? I can’t hold it in anymore. The toilet in my room is being used right now.”
“No.”
On the fourth day, Mai Ding has already given up.
“Cla.s.smate, can you lend some heart to me?”
“No.”
Just when An Zi Yan is about to close the door, Mai Ding put his hand at the door's side, saying, “An Zi Yan, you're an a.s.shole, you know? How can you treat your cute and friendly neighbor who is younger than you like this? If you dare treat me like this, then close the door and crush my fingers.”
Mai Ding thought An Zi Yan wouldn’t close the door, and An Ziyan thought Mai Ding will definitely put his hand away, so he closed the door.
After that came Mai Ding’s screams of pain as the door backfired. Mai Ding’s hand is in so much pain that he jumped around and blowed his hand as he gave an excruciating expression. He didn’t even have the time to scold anyone, but only can exclaim the word pain non-stop. His hand started to swell, as it started to turn red. An Zi Yan frowned as he pulled Mai Ding into the room saying, “Who told you to put your hand there!” From his tone, there isn’t a sign of remorse at all. Mai Ding’s hand was starting to tremble in pain and he was suspecting if his hand is broken. His eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears when he looked up at An Zi Yan saying, “Quick, my room has a first aid box with a cream from my mother. Help me bring it over.”
“d.a.m.n, so troublesome.” Even though An Zi Yan said that, he still walked out of his room and went next door. Li Ming, who was playing computer games at that time, was surprised to see An Zi Yan walk in and make a mess of Mai Ding’s bed like it’s a dog’s nest before he squeaked out a soft line asking, “Erm, what are you looking for?”
“Medicated cream.” An Zi Yan finally found it in the the corner of the bed inside a bag. He took it, and closed the room door.
Cream? Li Ming was filled with curiousity and he waited for the door to close before he put his ears outside the door of room 501.
Inside the room was Mai Ding said, “Are you staying in this room alone?” He looked around and found out that there was only one bed. An Ziyan’s bed was leaned against the wall in which the other side was Mai Ding’s bed. To put it in other words, without the wall, Mai Ding has almost been literally sleeping beside An Zi Yan’s bed.
An Zi Yan didn’t reply as he opened the bottle of cream.
Mai Ding wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the bottle over as he said, “I can do it myself.”
“Take your hand away.” An Zi Yan took some of the cream and roughly rubbed it on Mai Ding’s hand, his actions were not even gentle at all.
