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

Chapter 97: Becoming more and more sweet

Translator: Angela

A few days after the exam, Mai Ding prepared to go home for the New Year. He needed to accompany his parents and An Ziyan had to accompany his grandfather. They had to face their separation. Oh separation, what a heavy word. Their intertwining hands could not let go of each other anymore.

Mai Ding packed his things early, so he sat next to An Ziyan: "You'll miss me, right? Right?!"

"Depends."

"Depends on what?"

"Depends if I think it's necessary."

"This is very necessary."

Mai Ding stood up and dragged An Ziyan up from the couch: "Come grocery shopping with me, I'm going to make a huge feast today."

"Do you want me to give you a score for your bragging abilities?"

"Oh be quiet, you. Come on, before all the good vegetables are gone."

An Ziyan went to the supermarket with Mai Ding. An Ziyan was the kind of person who caught everyone's attention no matter where he went. When they finished picking out the groceries, Mai Ding stood by the door while he waited for An Ziyan to pay at the cashier. Suddenly, he saw a couple. The girl had a blissful expression on her face as she held a big bouquet of roses; occasionally, they would exchange glances at each other. It was so sweet, but come to think of it, An Ziyan never gave Mai Ding flowers before. But it made sense, An Ziyan would rather die than do something romantic like that.

When An Ziyan walked out of the store with the groceries, he saw Mai Ding staring at the roses in the girl's hands and asked: "You want one?"

Mai Ding snapped out of it and shook his head: "Why would I want one? I'm not a girl. Come on, let's go, I'm starving."

An Ziyan thoughtfully looked at Mai Ding's expression.

Mai Ding really did end up making an entire table full of delicious food. He clapped his hands, satisfied: "Let's eat!"

An Ziyan walked over and sat down: "Why did you make so much?"

"I like it. An besides, it seemed like someone wanted to spend New Year's with me, but no there's no way that'll happen."

"Mai Ding."

"Yeah?"

"What do you want as your New Year's present?"

It was rare for An Ziyan to bring up this question first, so Mai Ding didn't want to let go of this opportunity: "There's a lot that I want."

"Let's hear it."

"You better not go into shock once I say it."

"Are you saying it or not?"

"I want a lot of romance." Mai Ding thought that for An Ziyan, this would be a difficult task because that guy was unfamiliar with romantic things. When looking at everything that had happened thus far, An Ziyan's understanding of romance was really different from Mai Ding's.

"Oh."

"Oh, you're the one who asked. What kind of an attitude is 'oh'?"

"I only asked you, I didn't say I'd give it to you."

"Then why did you ask?"

"To give you hope and then let you down."

"An Ziyan, don't think that I won't use these chopsticks to poke you to death."
