Hidden Agenda (English)

Chapter 4

Living in this world, watching movies is something couples always do because it's so blissful, but that damn guy...

Jiranai sat down on the luxurious sofa in his apartment after finishing the movie with Sitang. It was truly amazing that they did something that couples on a date often do, yet only he enjoyed the feeling of happiness, as Sitang was completely asleep during the movie.

The best part was that they even chose an action movie, but Sitang still managed to sleep through it. Jiranai was truly at a loss about what to do.

"I'll take a quick nap, okay? I had to read some materials for preparing my thesis." The simple reason given by the sleeping guy infuriated Jiranai even more.

Preparing the thesis? Damn it, that's not what a fourth-year student should be doing.

As angry as he was, Jiranai still had to nod and let the annoying guy sleep comfortably in the cinema. Of course, the "bliss" of watching a movie had changed for Jiranai, as he only admired the beauty of the slender guy sitting next to him. After the movie, he didn't know where to go next, so they bid each other farewell, and each went their own way.

But as they parted, the tall figure realized that his mind was filled with thoughts of Sitang.

When they met again at the café, when he glanced over at the guy who was sound asleep in the movie theater. When Sitang drowsily woke up at the end of the movie and explained the reason for oversleeping. Sitang's presence seemed to occupy most of his thoughts throughout the day.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but let out a faint laugh and picked up his phone. Opening it, he looked at the number with three dots and thought about how the other person always made him uneasy, how they casually asked about Nita. But he still wanted to hear their voice many times... even right now.

"I'll call them first, how should I start the conversation?"

He decided to consult his sense of honor, and as soon as he sent the message, the response came quickly from the other side, as if they were waiting for his report.

"Call and ask if they've gone to sleep yet."

"Sleep? What's that? I had them asleep in the theater all this time, remember?"

"But it's already past ten in the evening. Please, spell the word 'hesitate' for me."

"I don't know."

"You little brat, I curse you won't succeed." Jiranai was about to send a curse in response when a call appeared on the screen.

Of course, there was only one person saved like this by him.

His lips immediately curved into a smile, and his narrow eyes brightened before he turned his cursing into a boast.

"It's truly heartbreaking that when you curse, they call me."

Then he quickly answered the call.

"What's up?" His voice sounded firm, but his face was smiling. Only Jiranai could pull off such talent.

His lips immediately curved into a smile, and his narrow eyes brightened before he turned his cursing into a boast.

"It's truly heartwrenching that no matter how you curse, they still end up calling me."

Then he quickly answered the call.

"What's up?" His voice sounded firm, but his face was smiling. Only Jiranai could pull off such talent.

"Oh... you haven't gone to sleep yet, have you?"

"I haven't slept yet. I sleep late," and no four-year-old child should go to bed at ten o'clock at night... except for little Sitang.
