Mai Ding made sure that An Ziyan dropped him off a bus stop away from his house. He didn’t want his parents to find out about the relationship.

‘Mai Ding.’

‘Mmm Hmm?’

‘Do you intend to be with me forever?’

Mai Ding was rather surprised by the question. ‘Why are you asking me this? Are you tired of me already? You can kill that thought. I will continue to harass you in this life and the next.’ When it comes to love, Mai Ding was a die-hard lover. He’s never going to give up.

‘Your mum and dad will find out sooner or later.’

It was a heavy topic to discuss. It’s not as if Mai Ding hadn’t thought about it before. He knew that for the two of them to be together, life wouldn’t be a bed of roses. Why would normal couples accept them?

‘I understand where you are coming from. But there’s no need to rush.’

But before he could finish his theory, An Ziyan cut him off, saying, ‘How long are you going to sit there? Quick get off the car.’

It was indeed getting late. Mai Ding looked outside the window, returned his gaze to An Ziyan, then quickly pecked him on the cheek. ‘Goodnight, AnZiyan.’ And with that, he left hurriedly.

AnZiyan couldn’t help but smile to himself, seeing how shy Mai Ding looked even when pecking him on the cheek. And on the other hand, Mai Ding’s eyes never left the car. It was only when he saw that the car had disappeared into the darkness, did he finally turned to walk in the direction of his house. A sudden wave of loneliness overcame him when he realized that An Ziyan wasn’t by his side anymore. At this point in time, he couldn’t be bothered that the person he loves was a guy. He also wasn’t bothered that others would see him as a pervert. When you have fallen in love, all these don’t matter anymore.

Mai Ding was resolute in his love for An Ziyan.

The next day, Mai Ding registered to take his driver’s license. He was indeed true to his word! He did it for two main reasons, of course: one, it is for AnZiyan; two, it is for their safety. And because he wanted to pass the test as soon as possible, Mai Ding was willing to make that long and arduous journey to An Ziyan’s house, hoping that he could borrow Ziyan’s car. Even though he might have felt tired, he was not going to admit it. He was feeling excited thinking about the prospect of driving his car.

When An Ziyan saw that look of glee on Mai Ding’s face after opening the door, he coldly asked, ‘You again?’

‘You mean I can’t come to your house? Anyway, my dear classmate, would you be willing to teach me how to drive? I wish to take the driving test soon.’

‘What’s the point?’ AnZiyan said as he walked to the kitchen to pour himself a cup of coffee, flipping through the newspapers as he did so.

‘What do you mean by that? You do not respect the law. If I am able to drive, I can drive you around.’

AnZiyan frowned. ‘The bottom is going to drive the top?’

‘What’s with that tone? And can you stop being such a chauvinistic pig?’

‘I’m not teaching.’

‘Even if I beg you?’

‘How much is that worth?’
