Will you still love me even if I'm a man?

Chapter 71: A Love With No Money

Translator: Angela // Dynasty of "Like Love" Lovers

After the many requests of Mai Ding, An Ziyan bought another ring for him. Mai Ding looked at the ring on his finger and lamented: "Ziyan, don't you think our love is based solely on money? If you don't have money, then you can't afford to rent a house or buy food. Maybe you would have to get a part-time job while taking classes and you wouldn't even have time to sleep. Then how could you possibly be in the mood to engage in love?"

"You're thinking about those meaningless things again."

"Without money, you'd just be a poor student. With that attitude of yours, you probably wouldn't even be able to take care of yourself." He looked at An Ziyan with complete disdain. Mai Ding didn't think to weigh his own pros and cons, his grades weren't as good as An Ziyan's, his IQ wasn't as high as An Ziyan's, even his lower region wasn't as big as An Ziyan's.

"Even without mentioning other aspects, I can at least be a piano teacher. How about you?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Mai Ding burst into laughter. He grabbed onto An Ziyan's shirt and laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight: "Haha~ you're joking. You? As a teacher, you'd probably stand on top of your student's dead body while teaching piano right? Haha, I'm laughing to death."

An Ziyan turned his head around and gave Mai Ding a cold stare. With that one stare, Mai Ding stopped his laughter, but he still couldn't stop his shoulders from twitching. He kept imagining what An Ziyan would look like while teaching piano:

"How are you playing the piano? How many times do you need me to teach you? Is your mind full of shit, or did you not bring your brain at all?" After saying this, An Ziyan grabbed the student's hair and knocked their head onto the piano.

When he thought of this kind of scene, Mai Ding sincerely advised An Ziyan: "You need to consider this carefully, in the future you really shouldn't go down the road of a teacher. It really doesn't suit you, my comrade."

The An Ziyan who was being made fun of by Mai Ding really wanted to throw him out. Listening to the tone of his voice as he spoke those words, it was as if you were a failure if you didn't have any money. When An Ziyan used to play around overseas, he could have gotten a job, but Mai Ding didn't know about any of this.

An Ziyan threw all of his money and credit cards from his wallet onto the table and then stared at Mai Ding: "Take out all of your money too."

"Why?" Although Mai Ding said that, he still took out all of his money and put it together with An Ziyan's. Maybe when he took it back later, he would be able to take advantage of the situation and steal some of An Ziyan's money as well.

"I'll let you experience a love with no money."

"Look at you, I was just joking around, no need to take it so seriously."

"Take off your ring as well."

"No, I just put it on!"

"Hurry up."

Mai Ding reluctantly took off his ring. Seriously, Mai Ding often joked around with him, but this time he took it seriously. Where could they live for a day when they didn't even have a single penny? Is there such thing as working for only a day? Or free money? If An Ziyan didn't have any money, where would An Ziyan put his great manly self-esteem? Would he feel really ashamed? Mai Ding felt a little regret for telling this joke, he didn't want An Ziyan to get embarrassed.

Suddenly, he thought of something: "Wait a sec." Then he ran into his room and didn't come out for a long time. An Ziyan waited for so long that he grew impatient. When he went to take a look, he saw Mai Ding was sitting down and writing seriously on a huge piece of paper: "My name is Su Xiaomi and I'm 17 years old. My older brother died last month because he worked too hard in order to pay for my tuition so now I'm all alone. I want to fulfill my brother and parent's wishes of finishing school. I hope there are some kind-hearted people who will help me, please!"
