Vol 1 Chapter 2 (2/2)

“Ouch, is there something wrong with you? Will it kill you to be more gentle?”

“Gentle? Doesn’t matter because it's going to hurt anyway.”

“Do you even know how to use it?”

“Ouch, ouch, ouch, get lost! I don’t want this anymore! You are still so rough even though my hand is swelling up.” Mai Ding is very displeased with the way An Zi Yan helped him in applying the medicine.

“So noisy, be quiet.”

Li Ming can only hear what they were saying, but he couldn't see what they were doing. His imagination was very creative, when he felt as if his nose is going to bleed eventually, he quietly went back to his room. After a short while, Mai Ding came back angrily and Li Ming observed Mai Ding before asking, “Yo, back so soon?”

“What do you mean 'so soon'? I am going to die of pain.”

“The first time is always painful.” Li Ming said, as he continues playing his computer game.

Mai Ding felt that Li Ming's words were rather odd and weird, but he didn’t think about it too much, because when he saw the mess An Zi Yan did to his bed, he was literally over the top.

At night, Mai Ding couldn’t sleep because of the pain of his hand, so, he put his ear on the wall, to hear if there was any commotion on the other side of the wall, but he couldn’t hear anything.

“h.e.l.lo, An Zi Yan. Can you hear me speaking?” Mai Ding softly said to the wall.

“h.e.l.lo?” This wall isn’t so thick, so he should be able to hear it. That’s what Mai Ding felt.

After a long while, An Zi Yan's side didn’t have any reaction, but Li Ming started speaking on his bed saying, “ 'h.e.l.lo?' what, you s.h.i.+t? Are you gonna let me sleep or not?”

Mai Ding then kept quiet and kept himself close to the wall before falling asleep.

Even if An Zi Yan liked treating Mai Ding hot and cold, keeping him out by closing the door, injuring his hand and messing up his whole bed, Mai Ding is unable to be truly angry with him.

Friends should be compromising like that.

Mai Ding was considered very unlucky, because he was met with the task of distributing books, even if his hand got injured. There was a huge stack of books in front Mai Ding as he carried them. His right hand is unable to conjure up any strength, so he can only use his right arm to carry the books out. When he went out, the students were pus.h.i.+ng him around, and that made his arm really tired, and it was when he reached the stairs that the two books on top fell.

At that time, a hand stretched out to catch those two books, which made Mai Ding really grateful. When he looked up, he saw An Zi Yan, he felt even more grateful.

“Thanks. Help me bring it to my room already.” Mai Ding already expressed his thanks way before asking him.

An Zi Yan put the two books back on top of the pile Mai Ding was holding as he said, “I didn’t say I will help you carry the books.”

“Technically speaking, you were the one that broke my hand, will it kill you to help me?” Mai Ding gave An Zi Yan an unrelenting stare, If not for the fact that you are bis.e.xual, I then wouldn’t want to be friends with you.

“You're noisy, didn’t I help you apply medicine already?”

Mai Ding was walking in front while An Zi Yan was walking behind. Mai Ding was walking while turning back to stare at An Zi Yan, saying, “You still dare to say that, how is that considered applying medicine? You applied the medicine so roughly that my hand is not okay from the start, and now it's also swelling up like a bun now.”

An Zi Yan didn’t say anymore and overtook Mai Ding.

Mai Ding looked at the figure of An Zi Yan getting smaller as he walked further.

One day, I will make you willingly walk with me.
