232 Don’t Pretend to Be Manly! (1/2)
”Ah Yan …”
”What kind of excuse do you have this time?”
Nie Chang sighed. ”Why does it have to be an excuse? It's my bank account. The information comes from a bank. Do you really think I could falsify anything there?”
Su Yan pursed his lips. ”Probably.”
Nie Chang coughed. Ah, he really didn't know if he should feel honored that his little darling trusted in his skills so much or rather miffed that Su Yan didn't believe him. Well, he probably could hack his account but he wouldn't do something as nonsensical as that. Why should he?
”Well, even if I could, why should I? The repair shop —”
”Ah! Don't even try it!” Su Yan slapped a hand onto his boyfriend's lips and gave him an 'I've figured it all out' look. ”I've worked at your shop for a week now and I've seen how many people come by. How could you earn enough to buy a car and still have so much money? That's unscientific. And even if it was true, it still wouldn't change anything.” He finally took his hand from Nie Chang's mouth and puffed out his chest. ”Naturally, I will also do my part since this is our house.”
Nie Chang waited a moment if there was something else his little darling wanted to reveal but Su Yan was obviously waiting for his praise. ”Uh … So you've decided that you want a house after all?”
Su Yan frowned. ”Didn't you say you want a house? Why are you suddenly chickening out?”
”I'm not. I just thought —”
”Anyway, I've decided that I'll find a way to make a lot of money so we can buy that house.”
”Oh.” Nie Chang didn't dare to ask if he had already come up with something. If he hadn't, Su Yan would be angry. If he had … Who knew what kind of crazy plan Su Yan had come up with? He wasn't too sure if his mind was strong enough not to dissuade him immediately.
Su Yan happily smiled. He had indeed no idea how to get enough money to buy half a house but he was sure he would find a way. Spurred on by this idea Su Yan crawled out of Nie Chang's embrace and leaped to his feet. ”Let's get going! Actually, I think there's no need to wait until Saturday. How about we go back home right now and look for houses?”
Nie Chang sat there on the road leading through the Century Park and looked up at his little darling that was suddenly all fired up about buying a house. Just how had this happened? Hadn't he thought just this morning that he would very, very carefully bring this subject up again later? How come Su Yan had gotten the drop on him and even wanted to get it done as quickly as possible? Could it be their accident with the tandem had been worse than he thought and he was hallucinating right now?
Su Yan looked at his boyfriend that didn't seem inclined to get up anytime soon. He propped his hands upon his hips and frowned at him. ”Nie Chang! What are you doing? Don't tell me you don't want to move in with me!” This wasn't okay. Nie Chang had brought it up way sooner than him! Why was he suddenly against it after he had finally brought himself to like the idea?
