259 Whose Expectations? (1/2)

Su Yan didn't tell his boyfriend about his generous gesture yet though. Instead, he snatched the phone from his hands and opened the list with the ten reasons to break up. Or, well, the list with the three reasons. Somehow, he had only noted down three even though it had already been a few days.

Su Yan furrowed his brow. ”Ah Chang, we're still lacking seven reasons!”

”Oh?” Nie Chang leaned over and took a look at Su Yan's phone. The notes he saw almost made him break out in laughter.

[1. Misunderstandings

2. Expectations

3. Family]

Just what did his little darling think the system was? It certainly couldn't read his thoughts yet!

Nie Chang hurriedly cleared his throat and put his arm back around Su Yan's shoulders. ”So, what exactly does this mean?”

”Huh? It means we should think of those seven reasons as fast as we can! After all, if we do this, then we'll be much closer to our house!” Su Yan pursed his lips and hesitated a bit before tugging at Nie Chang's shirt. ”And to our dog. You know I've thought about it and I think it would be alright if you choose its name.”

”Ah?” Nie Chang raised his brows but bit on his tongue at the last moment. No, it was better if he didn't ask just how he had acquired this honor. ”Uhm, well, thank you! I'm glad you trust me this much.”

”Mn.” Su Yan smiled happily. Mn, his boyfriend was really great. He was actually this happy about such a simple thing!

”Actually, that wasn't what I meant though. I was referring to the things on your list. 'Misunderstandings' is pretty obvious to me since we've gone through such a situation but what did you mean when you wrote down 'expectations' and 'family'? Maybe you should explain that a little more?”

Su Yan looked up at him with a look of doubt. ”Why would I? It's supposed to be a list, isn't it?”

”Yes, but … That doesn't mean you can't elaborate, does it?”

”Of course, it does!”

Nie Chang raised his brows. Was there some rule about lists he didn't know? ”Darling, I'm afraid I can't follow.”

The look in Su Yan's eyes suggested that his opinion of his boyfriend had just worsened considerably. ”I don't understand what you don't understand. Isn't it obvious? It's a list. You always only write down one word for a list. That's how it's done. If you write down more than that, it wouldn't be a list anymore but just some … stuff with a bullet point in front.”

”That …” Is too deep for me to understand. He wanted to argue so his little darling wouldn't be disappointed if his so-called list wasn't accepted by the system but finally, he only sighed and nodded along. ”Yeah, you … you're certainly right.”

”Of course!” Su Yan's expression said that he had known all along. It slowly dimmed though. ”Ah Chang, so what do we do about the other seven reasons? I can't think of anything.”
