Vol 1 Chapter 5 (1/2)

***********************************************

Ever since the military canteen event*, everyone had the impression that Mai Ding and An Zi Yan are close. Based on the relations.h.i.+p both of them have, Mai Ding felt flattered and enjoyed it even more, for he got closer to An Zi Yan, just like winning a lottery ticket.

( * - When Mai Ding was looking for An Zi Yan's wallet)

One day, Li Ming was supposed to have a movie date with a girl, but was rejected. Because of that, he literally threw the ticket to Mai Ding.

”Why are you giving it to me? Who should I watch it with?”, said Mai Ding while holding the tickets.

Li Ming looked directly at Mai Ding's eyes as he said, ”Stop pretending.”

Mai Ding confused with Li Ming's remark. What does he mean by that?

”Shall we go together then?”

Li Ming sat in front of his computer and said, ”You're f.u.c.king kidding me, I'm not going to watch a movie with a guy.”

”Then, who should I watch with?”

”There you go again. Stop pretending. Don't you have An Zi Yan?”

Li Ming reminded Mai Ding about An Zi Yan's existence with his remark. Ah yes, An Zi Yan, he thought.

He dashed off with the ticket and knocked on his neighbor's door (An Zi Yan's door). An Zi Yan only opened the door slightly, because he had this bad feeling of Mai Ding appearing in front of his door. He didn't have the intention to let him in either.

”Hey buddy, let's go to the movies”, said Mai Ding as he flashed his free movie tickets.

”Not interested.”

”Oh come on. It's a good movie. Alice in Wonderland in 3D.”

”Childish.”

”My favorite actor is in it” Mai Ding's eyes glowed when he was talked about Johnny Depp.

”Pervert.”

”Come on. Watching a movie alone is boring.”

An Zi Yan wanted to give up on talking to Mai Ding, as talking to him was a waste of energy. Just when he was about to close the door, Mai Ding threatened him.

”If you don't go, I will tell everyone that you are bis.e.xual”

Mai Ding was really silly to think this type of threat would work on him. But An Zi Yan totally ignored him and closed the door after saying ”Whatever” in a cold manner.

Mai Ding was kind of immune to such treatment (for the door shut on his face countless time before) and he still has not given up at all by banging on the door non-stop. He needed to hurry up because the movie starts in an hour. He never thought that with the time wasted here, he can practically drag Li Ming to the movies by now.

Finally, An Zi Yan opened the door after 30 minutes of non-stop banging.

”Ok, fine. I will go, but with one condition”

”Sure. What is it?”, Mai Ding said with excitement.

”Stop nagging after this”

Mai Ding hesitated for a moment. After looking at the movie tickets, he simply said ”DEAL!”, agreeing to his condition first no matter what.

An Zi Yan didn't know that Mai Ding is not someone who can keep his promisesthough.

The cinema was just near the university. At night, the street outside the university was bustling with lots of busy food stalls. As they pa.s.sed that street, Mai Ding felt bored. He looked at An Zi Yan's emotionless expression. He still adored him as much as first day they met.

”Am I annoying to you? ”

”You only realized that now?”
