Chapter 80:Act X: Singing In the Rain (5)

When Tan Yiming heard Xiang Cai call himself 'Teacher Tan', his heart immediately began to thud. His head was clearly covered with cold wind and fine snow, but a layer of sweat broke out on Tan Yiming's back.

Tan Yiming wanted to explain, but when he spoke, he found that there was no room for explanation.

Yao Yin chased him, but he had refused him. In the past five years, they had had no contact. The two were innocent, but when Tan Yiming met Xiang Cai's calm eyes, he felt the inexplicable panic of being caught.

However, Yao Yin saw that the funeral wasn't a big deal, and asked with great fanfare: "You two are really just roommates?"

[T/N: see that the funeral isn't a big deal = standing idly by others' misfortunes and watching amusedly.]

Xiang Cai looked away from Tan Yiming, only staring at the clear patches his footprints had left. The amount of snow falling grew heavier and there was a thin layer of fresh snow on the ground. They had left footprints all along the way they had walked.

Xiang Cai seemed to think that those messy footprints were fun, as he stared at the footprints and refused to look up.

He replied: "I rent out Teacher Tan's house, so not only is he my roommate, but he is also my landlord." He stopped, and then asked, "Isn't that right, Teacher Tan?"

Teacher Tan: "..." Teacher Tan thought about the distraught kiss on that rainy night, and wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, could only squeeze out a different word from between his teeth: "Yes."

Xiang Cai grew dull again.

He felt that he was too contradictory and weird. He was the one who initially told Yao Yin that he and Tan Yiming were just ordinary roommates. But why did he feel depressed and angry when Tan Yiming agreed with him?

The three people stood facing each other. Xiang Cai lost his appetite, he didn't want to eat a New Year's Eve dinner at all, and just wanted to go back to his room and fall asleep.

But it was impossible to escape.

Yao Yin grabbed his wrist and said aggrievedly: "Didn't you agree to accompany me to go to the revolving restaurant?"

Tan Yiming's fiery gaze fell on Yao Yin's paws, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Cai Cai and I are going home to eat hot pot."

The two of them fought to the end, and then unexpectedly, each took a step back - the three of them were going to the revolving restaurant together for the New Year!

Xiang Cai: "...?"

What was this development?

The revolving restaurant was about ten kilometers away from the rehearsal hall, but Tan Yiming and Yao Yin still held a second round of dispute over 'whose car Cai Cai will ride'.

Tan Yiming said: "My car is an SUV, and the seating is comfortable and spacious. Cai Cai is already used to it and there is also a small blanket for him in the car."

Yao Yin said: "It's spacious? Then why can't he take the bus directly? Teacher Tan, your whole car is not as expensive as the door of my car. On the road, you can just catch the breeze that my supercar leaves."

"What breeze?" Tan Yiming sneered. "Even if it's a supercar, you can't think about driving over 50 kph within the fifth ring."

Yao Yin hummed: "I don't care what you, a working-class man, say. You haven't even sat in a supercar. How can you laugh at one?"

Tan Yiming asked back: "Who said I've never sat in one?!"

"Oh, yes, how could I forget?" Yao Yin raised his eyebrows. "When I was chasing you, didn't you take my supercar to and from work every day?"
