Present Day

Qing's POV

I helped packing Dayu's clothes excitedly, even though he insisted that he could do it by himself.

"I know that..." I smiled at him, "but...As your boyfriend, this is my responsibility..." and I caught his cheeks reddening slightly as he pretended not to hear what I just said.

"Hey..Did you hear me..?" But, I'm not ready to let it slide, not this time, "baobei...?" Because Dayu was not looking at me- clearly intentionally, I laid down in front of him on the floor. To be precise- I'm laying on his laps.

Dayu gasped, as he didn't see what was coming until it was too late. Well- it's his own fault, right? Who told him to pretend that he didn't hear me and he wasn't even looking at me in the eye.

I raised my eyebrow at him challengingly, "I'm your boyfriend and this is one of my responsibility..right?" I repeated the question, this time he couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it and he's forced to look at me.

"You-!" Dayu blinked, his cheeks were flaming adorably, "I am only packing a couple of clothes... It's only a week visit..." he breathed the words, but at least he's looking at me.

I smirked. Dayu didn't rebutted me when I said that I'm his boyfriend. I was a little apprehensive; I was afraid that his defense mechanisms would appear again and insist that I'm not his boyfriend even though we already agreed that we're dating.

I'm still afraid; very afraid that Dayu would have a change of heart about us, and that's why I made it my mission to make this clear to him every time I have the opportunity.

It's not like I have little trust in him; I do. I trust him with my life. But, I also knew that I had hurt him badly in the past and he had gone through years believing that I never loved him. So, the possibility of him suddenly having cold feet about us dating is always at the back of my mind.

Not that I would accept it however, even if he changed his mind. He already accepted me, he already said okay to us dating; and I'm not going to let him squeeze his way out of this. Not a chance.

"You still doesn't have too many clothings.." I said. His closet was literally empty. Some shirts. Some jackets and hoodies. Some trousers. Some jeans. And that's about it. He still have the same clothings from five years ago; with the addition of one of two.

"They're enough for me..." I replied.

Yeah- he hated buying things, especially clothings, when the ones he had were still wearable. I remembered that disastrous dates we had back in those dark days; when I brought him shopping and they always ended up with him being uncomfortable and me being pissed off.

"I remembered..." I nodded, as I reminiscent, "I took you on several shopping dates..And you're so unbelievably hard headed about me buying you clothes...I always got mad at you..."
