Story of Meng QiQi - Chapter 10: Just You Wait, Little YangMeng

Translation by fingers_and_paws

"He kept mentioning the things in the past with me. Saying he regretted treating me like that during the time we were in high school, regretted that he made me his stepping board to get close to you. He regretted treating me as a punching bag, venting his anger towards you by running to me to scold me afterwards. He said that if he could turn time back, he would definitely give me half the goodness that he had poured onto you then......"

BaiLuoYin was surprised, "He had treated you so badly then?"

"I didn't feel that he did!" YangMeng scratched his head, "I have long forgotten about it, I only remembered that two big strands of mucus of his."

BaiLuoYin pointed at the dried fruits on the coffee table and offered YangMeng to eat it.

"Eat some chestnuts."

YangMeng gave a quick glance and said plainly, "Too lazy to peel."

"They're all peeled already."

They're without shells? Horrified, YangMeng took them in front of his eyes; how thick of a dust was this wrapped in to achieve this state!

"Why were they peeled and placed here?" YangMeng's face was full of pity.

"They weren't peeled by me. GuHai peeled them before he left. There're some macadamia nuts here as well." BaiLuoYin pointed at another cluster of black stuff.

While YangMeng complained about the food being ruined, he also lamented how GuHai still loved BaiLuoYin dearly like before.

"I'm really envious of you!" YangMeng held BaiLuoYin's hands, "You're very happy after being married right?"

BaiLuoYin's facial expression was full of regret, "There's nothing good about being married, I advise you not to get married; really. It's just two people before marriage but it became two big families of people after marriage. Moreover the way two people get along had also changed; a different feeling from before. Anyways, I had regretted it."

YangMeng looked at BaiLuoYin's dirty face that was covered in dust and dirt but it still couldn't hide his good spirits. Comparing it to those hardships that he had saw him gone through two years ago, YangMeng genuinely couldn't understand where BaiLuoYin was coming from.

"Does he still do the housework for you?" YangMeng asked.

BaiLuoYin answered without any thought, "He does!"

"He still cooks four or five dishes for your every meal?"

"Yup yup."

"Massages you every night?"

"Almost every night."

"Let you handle all the money?"

"That's right,"

YangMeng bared his teeth, "I feel like hitting you! What else do you want?"

"You don't understand. I am enjoying the same treatment but the identity is different, the mind-set is different and so the feeling will be different."

YangMeng scoffed, "You're so spoiled that you've become confused and disoriented!"

BaiLuoYin tensed for a while and finally burst into laughter, smiling like a breath of warm spring air.

"I was only teasing you. Marriage is quite good, my heart feels at ease. You must also hurry up and find someone to get married! Oh, right, we were talking about YouQi, why had the conversation topic changed to me? Have you thought of what to do about it already?"

YangMeng pondered for a long while before rattling, "I feel, YouQi may not have forgotten about you. Every time he expressed his feeling to me, he would slightly mention you. I have a little suspicion, could his liking for me be due to shadows of you that can be found on me?"

As he was saying, YangMeng stood up in front of BaiLuoYin with his hands in his pockets.

"Which part of me do I look like you? Can't I change it; will that do!"

BaiLuoYin looked at the body that's a size smaller than himself and couldn't help laughing, "You've worried unnecessarily, we're very different except our gender. Even if he likes you, it has nothing to do with me. You better think. How do you handle the relationship between you two? Confront him or?"

"I can't confront him." YangMeng's tone was very firm, "I must not do anything rash before he confesses to me. If he didn't mean it that way, won't I be making a fool of myself by saying this?"

"You're right......" BaiLuoYin pondered, "How about this, if you really don't like him, you should find a girl to date! You know more people now and your job is also quite decent, there should be quite many girls that would be willing to be with you. If he really likes you, then this will be equal to rejecting him tactfully. If he doesn't like you, you would have gotten rid of a worry and also gotten a girlfriend."

YangMeng thought about it, "This idea is not bad. However what if he bans me from dating using various reasons? For example considering my job......"

"Wait a minute." BaiLuoYin's mobile phone rang, "Let me take a call." YangMeng nodded.

BaiLuoYin took the mobile phone and entered another room. After a while he walked back with a hint of smile on his face.

"A call from GuHai?" YangMeng probed.

BaiLuoYin nodded.

YangMeng asked again, "Did you tell him that I am here?"

"I told him already." BaiLuoYin was happy and pleased, "I told him that you will eat dinner here tonight also."

"Definitely not!" YangMeng's face was horrified, "He will definitely 'slice' me!"

BaiLuoYin smiled widely, "Relax, he's not so narrow-minded now." Only then did YangMeng heave a sigh of relief.

"I'll go and buy some food. Later us brothers shall have a few drinks and have a good chat." BaiLuoYin said to YangMeng.

YangMeng got up, "I'll go together with you!" BaiLuoYin pushed YangMeng back onto the sofa again, "Don't need you; I'll be back real quick."

Not long after BaiLuoYin had left, YangMeng received a text from GuHai, just three words.

"Just you wait."
