65 Let’s Do It Right Now (1/2)
While Su Yan was pouting because the Lovely Writing System seemed to have tricked him once again Nie Chang waited in his boyfriend's apartment and stared into space. Yes, that's right. He was waiting in Su Yan's apartment right now.
After getting some snacks and his notebook, he had gone back into the living room only to notice that Su Yan had disappeared. The only thing still lying there was his phone. He hadn't thought much about it, put everything on the table and started to browse for a movie they could watch. But by the time he had found a good one Su Yan still wasn't back.
Finally, Nie Chang had grown worried. His apartment wasn't that big. He looked into every room but nothing could be seen of Su Yan. It was obvious that he had left.
Nie Chang had gone back into the living room and sat down. He picked up Su Yan's phone and looked up the call log to see if some emergency had happened but there wasn't anything. Then, he took out his own phone but he hadn't gotten a message from Su Yan either.
Nie Chang had leaned back, closed his eyes and sighed deeply. His boyfriend had suddenly vanished without giving a reason and even left his phone. If this wasn't Su Yan they were talking about who was working for him and was more or less an open book to him, he might have wondered if this was a case of going to buy some cigarettes. But he couldn't believe that Su Yan would get together with him and then dump him the very same day. He wasn't that type of person. He was the type of person to get easily scared, though.
”Maybe that joke about having sex was too much for him?” Nie Chang couldn't find another explanation.
He sighed again, took both phones and grabbed his jacket on the way out of his apartment. Where would Su Yan go if he felt cornered? Most likely to his own apartment where he'd curl up in bed and pretend that nothing happened. Then he'd show up to work the next morning with a mighty bad conscience because he hadn't explained anything. He'd try to keep quiet about it, though.
If this had been last week, Nie Chang would have let him pretend. But now they were a couple. He couldn't let him hide or their relationship would always stay in this awkward state where they could neither go back nor advance. No, he had to talk this through with Su Yan.
Nie Chang got into his car and drove over. The heartless guy didn't open the door even after he had rung the bell three times. Luckily, he knew where Su Yan kept his spare key so he just opened it himself.
He went in and found the apartment completely dark. Nie Chang snorted. So Su Yan had really gone to bed to pretend nothing had happened. He made his way over in the dark and sat down on the bedside. He certainly wouldn't let him get away this time!
He reached out … and found the bed empty.
