ML 2 and ML 3 Happy Ending! 104

Chapter 104 – Ahhhhhh (39.1)

“Did you give the basketball to Xi Yu?”

To dilute the delicate atmosphere, Duan Shu Tong asked casually.

Xi Duan started the car and replied: “Yes.”

“How does he feel?”

“He was quite happy.” Xi Duan paused, and he couldn’t help raising the corners of his lips, “Thank you for calling attention to the matter.”

Although there was nothing special about his words, it carried a bit of intimacy.

The car drove out of the quiet villa district and merged into the bustling downtown area. Thanks to the neon lights shining into the car from outside the window, Duan Shu Tong could clearly see the gentleness on Xi Duan’s face and it felt like his heart was scalded. Some kind of emotion was bubbling up from his heart and rushing out like torrent, making him feel restless.

Was this what being in love felt like?

He was cautious and prudent, but also full of expectation.

In fact, the villa district where the rich people lived had a private theater set up, but the two of them clearly wanted to go to a crowded theater to watch a movie just like any other ordinary couple and to enjoy the feeling of intimacy between two people while being amidst a crowd.

Xi Duan parked the car in the underground garage of the mall. Then the two of them took the elevator upstairs.

During the holidays, the shopping mall was full of people, and the elevators were also packed like sardine cans. Duan Shu Tong clung to the innermost wall of the elevator, but the person next to him still bumped into him with their elbow, causing him to frown in pain.

Xi Duan turned around abruptly. He pulled Duan Shu Tong towards the corner of the elevator and turned his back towards the other passengers, protecting Duan Shu Tong within.

Duan Shu Tong stared at Xi Duan, stunned for words.

The two were so close that they could hear each other breathing. Someone bumped into Xi Duan, causing him to lean forward and the tip of his nose pressed against the young man’s eyebrows.

Duan Shu Tong could feel Xi Duan’s soft and warm breathing on the bridge of his nose. He was so startled that he forgot to breathe.

With a ding the elevator door opened, and the passengers left in an orderly manner. Duan Shu Tong was the first one to react. He stretched out a hand to give Xi Duan a nudge.

Xi Duan lowered his eyes and walked out of the elevator with Duan Shu Tong.

Duan Shu Tong glanced at Xi Duan from the corner of his eyes and found that the other man’s ears were red. The sight secretly amused him. The embarrassment that he was just feeling gradually dissipated.

There was nothing to be ashamed of when it was a loser vs. loser* situation.

[*T/N: loser vs. loser – an Internet term that refers to the fact that the combat effectiveness of both sides is very poor, but they still fight back and forth in an exceptionally fierce manner]

When they found the movie theater, the two of them went up to the counter to purchase tickets, only to be told that all the movie tickets for the day were sold out, including the midnight showing.

Duan Shu Tong: “…”

It was his fault. He was so excited for this outing that he did not think to buy tickets in advance online.

Seeing him disappointed, Xi Duan couldn’t bear it. “Let’s go to another one.”

“No need.” Duan Shu Tong shook his head. “Let’s go back down first.”

Watching a movie was just an excuse to spend time alone with Xi Duan. They couldn’t watch a movie together, but it was enough for him to just be with Xi Duan.

Like fools, the two returned to the underground parking lot.

After they got into the car, Xi Duan asked: “Where do we go now?”

The lights in the underground parking lot were a little dim, and there was no one else around. Xi Duan’s voice rang within the confines of the car. The deepness of it made Duan Shu Tong flustered.

“Let me think about it first.” Duan Shu Tong replied with his head down.

“Okay.”

The surroundings began to become silent again. Duan Shu Tong crossed his hands together on his legs, unconsciously twisting them together. His heart was beating a little fast. It was as if someone was beating a drum in his ear. Thump, thump, thump. Again and again. It was so annoying as if it was urging him to do something fast.

After struggling between reason and emotion, Duan Shu Tong finally calmed down and said sullenly, “Let’s go back.”

Xi Duan gave an obedient “en” sound.

He understood the young man’s situation and worries. He was willing to wait as long as it took.

Xi Duan was willing to face all difficulties with Duan Shu Tong.

They did not talk during the entire ride back. When the car arrived at the villa district, Duan Shu Tong suddenly asked, “When are you going back to Shan Quan County?”

Xi Duan parked the car on the side of the road, and then turned to look at him, “When is it convenient for you?”

Just as Duan Shu Tong was about to answer, his WeChat rang. Someone was asking to video chat with him.

He picked it up and saw that it was Han Ling. He didn’t think too much about it and pressed the answer button.

Han Ling’s face appeared on the phone screen with a mournful expression, “Director Duan, I’m homeless now, please take me in!”
