Vol 2 Chapter 23 (2/2)
”What do you want?” came the familiar voice.
”I'm just calling you to tell you that I obeyed you and did not go for that date.”
”Yes I know.”
”What do you mean by ”you know”?”
”I knew you wouldn't dare go.”
”Excuse me? Don't you know how much that hurts? I respected you. Can't we have some mutual respect in our relations.h.i.+p? How can you not understand something so basic?”
An Ziyan was actually playing basketball with his buddy, Zhou Ge. He was holding his phone with one hand, and was pa.s.sing the ball to Zhou Ge with the other.
”What are you doing? You sound like you are doing something strange? Are you, umm... playing with yourself?”
”No I'm not you, f.u.c.ker.”AnZiyan scolded him.
”I'm just joking with you. When are you free? Can you come online now?”
'What for?”
”I just want to see you.”
”I don't want to.” An Ziyan thinks that going online to see each other is just a waste of time and it's idiotic.
”But.. But I want to see you.”
”But I don't want to see you.”
”Do you believe that I'll just kill myself if you continue to speak to me like that? Alright...Why don't you just turn the cam on and just let me see you. I'm so bored at home.” An Ziyan remained silent.
”Pretty please? At least dote on me sometimes.”
”You make it seem as if I torture you every day”
”More often than you think.”
Because he did not outrightly say no, that would mean that An Ziyan had somewhat agreed to Mai Ding's terms. Mai Ding waited for him by his computer. He had wanted to ignore An Ziyan for a few days because he knew that sometimes absence made the heart grow fonder. However, with An Ziyan, no one could be sure if it would work.
At times, Mai Ding really admired An Ziyan. He was a person who lived by the day, and did whatever he wanted. In comparison to Mai Ding, An Ziyan was a more relaxed individual. Mai Ding on the other hand needed an objective, and his day had to be well planned. With regards to their att.i.tudes to life, one could say the Mai Ding worries about the details. An Ziyan, on the other hand, couldn't care less.
As Mai Ding was thinking of such stuff, An Ziyan finally reached home. And as Mai Ding suggested, he turned on his webcam, faced it to the living room and went about doing his stuff. He first went to the kitchen to pour himself a cup of coffee. He then took out his book to read. After that, he was lying on the sofa watching TV.
Mai Ding couldn't help but commented, ”Are you going to read or are you going to
watch TV? Don't waste electricity.” An Ziyan pretended not to listen. ”Your coffee is going to get cold. Are you going to drink it?” After a while, Mai Ding again continued, ”The lights to the kitchen are still on.”
Mai Ding was just insufferable. After some time, An Ziyan calmly got up and walked to the computer. Mai Ding thought that An Ziyan finally wanted to talk to him but instead, An Ziyan closed the laptop, leaving Mai Ding dumbfounded.
What's wrong with him? Who irritated him now? I didn't do anything to irritate him, right? Who is he showing his colors to? Mai Ding wondered. But in a matter of minutes, he received a call from An Ziyan.
”So now you're going to apologise to me?”
”Tomorrow I'm going to pick you up in the morning.” Came the answer without even a single 'h.e.l.lo'
”Why?”
”Bai Xiaosi is coming home.”
