”Yi Nan, there is only one more hour left before we have to leave for Qiong Dao, where do you still want to go now?” Cang Yu noticed that Yi Nan looked drained, even though he was exhausted, he still dragged himself off the bed in a hurry, he hurried to the point of wearing his clothes without even taking a shower first, Cang Yu was unable to bear it and asked him.
”d.a.m.n,” Yi Nan looked at the time and then scolded, ”If it weren't for an animal in heat like you, I would have already finished sending the money earlier.”
”Isn't it just sending money to your father, just tell Zhang Xiaobo to send it for you tomorrow. Ai, didn't you just went home to visit your father last weekend?! Why didn't you leave behind some money? Now you have to send it this week, so troublesome.”
”Last weekend? Last month I spent too much money, when I came home last weekend, I only had a few Kuai left over. It's only natural that I have to wait until this Wednesday to get my pay then send it. Also, you can't just always tell Zhang Xiaobo to handle our private matters, he is your a.s.sistant not mine, I'm just a small manager in the planning department, I can't just order people to help me whenever I want.”
(T/N: The basic unit of money is the yuan (also known as ” kuai “)
”Then it will be alright if I tell him to go right? I'll say that it's money for my father-in-law.” Cang Yu looked at Yi Nan's neatly dressed image reflected in the full-length mirror, he was in the middle of wearing the alligator leather belt that Cang Yu gave him as a gift on Christmas.
Yi Nan didn't respond to Cang Yu's suggestion that was half-serious and half-teasing, he wore his belt quickly and covered himself with a white trench coat then leaned over and kissed Cang Yu: ”I'm going to the post office and will be back soon, it'll take 30 minutes at most.”
”Yi Nan.”
”Huh?” Yi Nan had already opened the door when he was stopped by Cang Yu.
”Last night I had a nightmare, I dreamed that our s.h.i.+p went out to sea and sank, there was only one life saver, at that time I was very worried, say if it were you what would you do?”
”I would give the life saver to an idiot like you who can't swim,” Yi Nan immediately said without thinking, ”Back in the day, I was the champion of the school swim team! If I go into the water and still need to use a life saver then I will lose face……”
”That time, Xiao Hai also said that,……but, he lied to me——he died.” Cang Yu looked into Yi Nan's eyes and said.
