As soon as Cheng parked the car, we stood out of it at the same time, I was walking behind him when his phone rang, instead of replying, he left a vocal message saying : "You missed me? You want me to pin you down by the water cooler, and watch me bring home one trophy after another?" He said all that without smiling, is he even human?

We walked into an elevator and then he left a last vocal message "in your dreams"

The elevator doors closed, I pressed at the button, and the elevator started moving

Cheng : the other day at the spring final, Rui said you were there too

I nodded

Me : Yes?

Cheng : you were staying at the same hotel as us

Me : Yes?

Cheng : the forty-sixth floor

Me : yes I- NO

Cheng approached me

Cheng : that stubborn shorty the other day was really you

Damn

Me : No!

Cheng : you stubbornly refuse to admit that you were short, and stubbornly refuse that it was you

Me : No, Cheng, listen to me, I-I wasn't to short to reach it that day, I was carrying too many things in my hands

I started losing my confidence and my words by looking at his fierce, serious, savage, dead face

Me : I-I I, That's why I was being-

Cheng : stubborn

I fell silent for a second

Me : I'm starting to hate you

Me : brother Cheng, which one is better?

Cheng : the blue one

He took the pink one from my hand and threw it at the highest shelf

Cheng : let's go now

I glared at him and put the blue slippers back to their original place, I stood on the end of my toes, trying to reach the pink ones back, I felt stupid actually, that shelf felt as if it was 2 meters away from me, I jumped as far as I could, I threw glances at Cheng who was looking at me as I was some sort of idiot, yeah, actually I felt like one, there was no way I could reach the slippers

Cheng : I thought I just said blue

I turned to him

Me : straight guys' aesthetics are a reference of exclusion, like Chubby's

I turned my back at him and I went back to trying to reach that pair of pink slippers, I heard Cheng sighing and stepped close behind me to reach them, then he threw them with the rest of my shopping

Cheng : What else do you want to buy? Buy it all at once, don't act like an acrobat, you were almost hanging on that shelf

Me : it's not my fault! Only one last pair of pink, I just managed to get it off but you-
