124 Clearing Up a Misunderstanding (1/2)

The two of them continued to look at each other quietly, both unsure of what else to say.

In the end, Nie Chang pointed at Su Yan's wet hair. ”You … What were you doing just now?”

Su Yan frowned. ”Wasn't I showering? But then someone starting mumbling in the kitchen, so I came over to take a look. Who would have thought you were preparing something like that?” His voice grew lower and lower until Nie Chang barely understood the end of the sentence.

The slightly embarrassed expression on his face told Nie Chang everything he needed to know though. Su Yan had probably only heard the latter half and thus thought he had been practicing a marriage proposal.

Nie Chang looked at the ceiling. What kind of misunderstanding was this?

He took out his phone and held the message his boyfriend sent before in front of Su Yan's face. ”What about this message?”

The shy look on Su Yan's face disappeared and made way for one of righteous indignation. ”The system gave me the task of finding out what could make a couple break up. But honestly, what kind of suggestion was that? As if grocery shopping would have such an effect! Do you take me for an idiot?!”

Nie Chang threw the phone on the table, stepped forward and hugged Su Yan, not caring even a bit that his hair was still dripping wet and that he instantly slapped his chest to make him let go. Instead, he just laughed.

”You're so troublesome.”

”Hah? How am I troublesome?” Su Yan who had only pretended to be angry just now to mask his embarrassment became really angry. ”What is that supposed to mean?”

Nie Chang's arms tightened in response and he secretly rubbed his eyes. If Su Yan actually saw him cry in front of him again, wouldn't he think of him as a wimp? He couldn't let that happen!

He was a little late for that though. Su Yan might not have been the fastest when it came to romance but he had known Nie Chang for many years. While Nie Chang's attempts at seducing him had slowly intensified over the years and thus been perceived as something normal, this sudden emotional outburst definitely wasn't. Unfortunately, a certain someone once again drew a questionable conclusion.

”Eh, Ah Chang, don't be like this.” With a bit of a guilty conscience, he patted Nie Chang's back. ”You see it's not that I don't love you or don't want to marry you at all. I just think we should wait for a while. At least …” He stopped talking and buried his face in the nape of Nie Chang's neck. His cheeks were glowing scarlet red. Oh god! Was he really about to say that?

He grabbed Nie Chang's shirt and nervously tugged at it, leaving it crumpled. ”At least wait until we've … we've …” Su Yan stopped talking again. Oh god, he just couldn't say it! This was too embarrassing! ”At least wait until we've gone out a while longer!” He looked down and cursed himself in his heart. Ah, he was really too weak! He couldn't even talk about having sex with his own boyfriend!
