44 You Better Remember Tha (2/2)

”Oh.” Su Yan faced the other side again. His heart was throbbing while he felt a little disappointed. Really, what was going on with him?

Nie Chang looked over. ”I don't like men. Or women, for that matter. I just … like that special person.”

Su Yan lowered his head. He felt even worse now. ”You really must love her … him.” He pressed his lips together and then took another peek at his friend. Nie Chang had said that he should be happy for him. He really should. It was just a little difficult. ”So … that person … Is it a man or a woman?”

Nie Chang smirked when he noticed Su Yan's gaze in the mirror. ”What do you think?”

Su Yan automatically wanted to respond that it should be a woman. But then he reconsidered. There had been so many women around Nie Chang over the years. If he really liked them, wouldn't he have had a girlfriend sooner? Meanwhile, not even one man had tried to get close to him, at least Su Yan knew of none. Then couldn't it be that Nie Chang had only fallen in love because a man had approached him now? Or, well, not approached him but had somehow come into contact with him and ignited that love?

”Then it's probably a man.”

Nie Chang nodded. ”That's true.”

”How is he?”

Nie Chang really regretted that he couldn't take a good long, measuring look at Su Yan. He really wanted to savor the expression in his eyes and make him feel a little uncomfortable before he answered. In the end, he only took a bit of time before he finally coughed out Su Yan's most defining trait: ”A little dense.”

”Huh? That … doesn't sound too good?”

”Oh, no, everything about him is good. It's just that he doesn't realize some things even when I'm being really direct. He'll probably need a couple more weeks to figure it out.” Or maybe I'll get a bit more help? Nie Chang looked at his pocket. He hadn't gotten another message yet but he really hoped he would.

Things with Su Yan were going well but he still didn't know how to proceed. A lot would depend on this date of theirs. But after that? What if Su Yan still didn't understand that he was the special person in the evening? Or what if he couldn't figure out if he liked men or not? He hadn't seemed to loathe it when they kissed but knowing Su Yan it would take a while for him to come to terms with it. He couldn't be too outrageous today. This was probably as far as he could go. He couldn't confess yet.

”He really sounds dense.”

”Mn. You should remember that you said that.”

Su Yan looked at him with a puzzled gaze but thankfully they had already reached their next destination. Nie Chang parked the car and once again went to open the door for Su Yan.

”Come on then. I promise you we'll have some sweet hours in there.” He wriggled his brows and grabbed Su Yan's hand, pulling him into the building.
