37 Picking Up The Wife (2/2)

”For you.” Nie Chang was shocked himself at how raspy his voice sounded at this moment.

”Uh?” Su Yan reflexively took the flowers. Meanwhile, the fridge was closed in front of him.

”Forget about breakfast. I'll take you out to eat something.”

”Uh …” That's not the important point here! Why am I getting flowers?! Su Yan turned around and wanted to question him but the sight of Nie Chang stunned him into silence. ”Uh …”, he repeated while he started to feel a bit dumb. Was there nothing else he could say? But he really didn't know what to say. Why was Nie Chang looking this … good today? ”You … Do you still have something to do before going out?”

Nie Chang lifted his brows. ”No. Why would you think that?”

”You …” Su Yan gave him another once-over and finally shook his head. Forget it. Maybe he was thinking too much. He put the flowers in a vase and wanted to head to the door when he finally remembered something. He didn't know what they were going to do. So maybe … He looked back at Nie Chang who had silently followed him over and coughed. ”Uh, say, can you tell me what you've planned now?”

Nie Chang smiled, slowly getting over his nervousness. He had spent so much time with Su Yan over the last years. What was there to be nervous about? He should just be like he always was. ”Won't you find out today anyway?”

”Yes, but … Should I dress … formally, too?” He had thought they were just going to cook a bit. Wouldn't casual clothes be better for that? But now Nie Chang was actually looking like he did when he went to work: black suit pants, white shirt. He was just missing the corresponding jacket but, actually, Su Yan had never seen him wear one so that wasn't anything surprising.

Nie Chang shook his head. ”No, casual should be alright, I guess.”

Su Yan grimaced. Should be? That wasn't reassuring at all! ”Wait here.” Su Yan hurried back to his bedroom and took some nice clothes out.

Nie Chang hadn't waited, though. Why would he stand there and wait alone when he could just follow Su Yan? Thus, he leaned in the doorway and watched with rapt attention while Su Yan changed. Mn, this date had really been a good idea.

When Su Yan turned around he found Nie Chang staring at him. ”That … Is something the matter?”

Nie Chang looked at the floor and held back a smile, before lifting his gaze to his friend's face again. ”Are you ready?”

Su Yan felt a little strange but nodded in the end. ”Sure. Let's go.” He went over and the two of them left his apartment together. As soon as he stepped out of the house, he was stunned into speechlessness, though.
