Vol 3 Chapter 26 (2/2)

Make me smile,

Make me feel the love is true

You always stand by my side,

I don't want to say goodbye

You make me cry,

Make me smile,

Make me feel the joy of love

Oh! Kissing you

Thank you for all the love that you always give to me

Oh! I love you

An Ziyan, I'll learn how to sing it, and I'll sing it for you at home.”

(Note: The t.i.tle of this song is ”A Little Love” by Fiona Fung)

”No.”

Everyone knows about the terrible singing voice of Mai Ding. The spring festival was to end casually. Mai Ding thought that the spring gala of this year was more boring than that of last year's. It was less human and more on digital techniques.

During their childhood, the reason why they look forward to the spring festival was because we could get lucky money. Now that they've grown up, they expected less, so Mai Ding was not into the festival as much as before. An Ziyan should be back when the festival is over. He couldn't help but call An Ziyan.

”Are you back?”

”Yeah.”

”Have you brought any local specialties for me?”

”No.”

”Why, are you at home? My mother made some dumplings and I'll bring some over for you.”

An Ziyan wanted to ignore Mai Ding's enthusiasm, but in the end, he didn't do that. Mai Ding took three hours to bring the dumplings to An Ziyan. When he arrived at the door, he saw a car. Although he knew nothing about cars, he knew that the car was new and beautiful. Did someone come over? Why didn't An Ziyan tell him? He secretly peeked into the window.

There was n.o.body else but An Ziyan inside, playing on his computer. Mai Ding knocked on the window, and with a low voice, he said, ”An Ziyan, it's me, Mai Ding.” Like a spy. An Ziyan turned back to see Mai Ding being sneaky. ”What are you doing?”

”Do you have any guests? I'm afraid that I'll be inconvenient.”

”No one else is here but me.”

”No one? Then, whose car is that?” Mai Ding said with a formal tone.

”Mine.”

”You bought a new car again? Are you kidding me? lf you have that much money, why not donate it to primary schools? Why are you so heartless? Why not think about

our country and its poor children? You are a shame to the Chinese.”

”Someone gave this to me.”

”Who was foolish enough to give this to you? Doesn't that person know how to use it?” No matter who wasted the money, Mai Ding would blame him.

Mai Ding looked at the car and went near it, and while he lied on the gla.s.s, he admiringly said ”This car's pretty good.” He then went back to the window and told An Ziyan ”Does the new car have new functions?”

An Ziyan was playing with his computer, and because he wasn't facing Mai Ding, Mai Ding couldn't see the smile on An Ziyan's face ”All features are voice-controlled.”

Mai Ding's mouth opened in astonishment. ”Really?! Technology has already escalated to this level? So, can I try it out?

”Ok.”

Mai Ding put the dumplings aside, walked around the car for several times, then cleared his throat and said, ”Unlock.” The car then made a sound, the light turned on, and the car unlocked itself. Mai Ding got more excited. ”An Ziyan, this is so cool!” said Mai Ding to An Ziyan, who used the car's keys to unlock it.

”Open the door.”

The door of the car did not open, Mai Ding thought that his voice was not high enough, so he shouted at the car.

”Open the door!”

There was still no reaction.

”An Ziyan, is there something wrong with the car? Why did it not answer?”

”You should be more polite.” An Ziyan tried to speak to him in a calm voice.

”Please open the door.”

No matter how much Mai Ding tried, even though he spoke in standard Chinese, improper Chinese, English, native dialect or something else, the door remained shut. Meanwhile, he heard An Ziyan laughing, and then he realized what had happened at once.

He didn't think of anything else but one thing: His lover played a trick on him. He was too late to realize. He stood by the window and pointed at An Ziyan. ”Don't you have a conscience? I brought dumplings for you! You are too naive to do this.” An Ziyan shrugged his shoulders, which meant he thought about how foolish Mai Ding was.

Mai Ding was too shy to do anything, he then climbed into the window and said, ”An Ziyan, I will fight with you until I die.” He climbed into the room like a ghost, and wanted to flirt with An Ziyan, but at that moment, he thought of one more serious problem, and that made his face turn bright.

”Bro, how about your other car?” With a sly face, Mai Ding thought, ”Why not give it to me?”

”I am going to sell it and donate the money to primary schools.”

In a soft voice, he then flirted with An Ziyan ”Please don't, I am actually poor, rich water should be kept in its own field, don't you think so?”

”Why are you so heartless? Why not think about our country and its poor children? You are a shame to the Chinese.” An Ziyan threw back the words that Mai Ding told him.
