124 Clearing Up a Misunderstanding (2/2)

Nie Chang chuckled. He could imagine what Su Yan had wanted to say originally. ”Don't worry about it. I … I wasn't practicing for a proposal. Just check your voicemail. I thought …” He leaned back a bit and looked at Su Yan's face. His cheeks were still flushed.

Nie Chang grabbed the towel and started rubbing Su Yan's hair dry. ”You know … today when I came out of the bathroom I saw that you were really busy. I thought that maybe we wouldn't have the time to go to Auntie Zhu's shop after you finished, so I went out to buy some groceries to cook. Then when I was standing in line to pay I suddenly got your message. I was really scared. We've only been together for two days and I thought maybe you saw that I had left and were angry because of that. You didn't even respond to my message. So I thought … you wanted to break up with me.”

”That … I thought it was a stupid suggestion.” Su Yan looked even more guilty. He definitely wouldn't have thought that Nie Chang would think something like that!

Nie Chang smiled wryly. ”I was desperate. I hurried home as fast as I could but you weren't in the living room and not in the kitchen either and I …” He shook his head and sighed. ”It's probably my fault, too. I was so anxious that I didn't even think of checking the other rooms. I just thought you were furious and had run away. So I called you and begged you to come back to me.”

Nie Chang hugged him closer again and took a deep breath. ”I'm so happy to see you right now. Do me a favor, please. In the future, when you get some kind of mission from that system and want to ask my opinion then tell me why you're asking. I don't think I can take such a shock again.”

Su Yan nodded hurriedly. ”Of course, of course!” How would he dare to send such a message again without warning if his boyfriend misunderstood him so easily?!

Su Yan hurriedly clasped Nie Chang's neck and tiptoed, kissing his lips. ”You definitely don't have to worry! You're such a great boyfriend! Why would I break up with you?”

Nie Chang smiled. ”I'm glad to hear that.”

Su Yan smiled back and peeked around Nie Chang's shoulder. ”So, what are you going to cook?”

Nie Chang couldn't help but laugh. ”So that's what you're worried about now?”

Su Yan pursed his lips. ”Everything's cleared up. We both haven't eaten yet. What's so bad about worrying about food now?”

Nie Chang gave a teasing smile. ”Then … how about helping me?”

”Help?” Su Yan's eyes widened. He looked at the bag with the groceries and then at the stove. What did Nie Chang expect him to do? His gaze traveled to Nie Chang's smile again.

Why did he suddenly feel as if his boyfriend was trying to punish him for the thoughtless message that had caused their misunderstanding?
