I’ll Still Love You Even If You’re a Man

Chapter 29

***********************************************
Li Ming almost flung himself down to make an apology to Mai Ding, but Mai Ding didn"t say anything at all.
 
"The blame rests entirely with me. I should go to the h.e.l.l. I didn"t know that those two b.i.t.c.hes set a trap for you. How about explaining everything to An Ziyan? I can do it." Li Min felt so guilty about what he has done that made Mai Ding in trouble.
 
A pillow was thrown at Li Ming. Mai Ding spoke in a m.u.f.fled voice: "I don"t want to talk to him. He didn"t believe me at all. Explanations are a waste of time. He should go to the h.e.l.l, that f.u.c.king b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I don"t want to see him anymore."
 
"You cannot blame this entirely on him. As a man, he must be angry at that thing. He treats you as his lover."
 
"So, do you mean that this is my fault?" Mai Ding got up from his bed.
 
"Everything is my fault, and Zhu Li"s." Li Ming tried to calm Mai Ding down.
 
"What if we cannot go through this test?"
 
"It is not a test, but a common thing. You should consider it from his perspective. What would you do if you receive a photo of him and another woman on a bed? He loves you so much, so he got angry. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Ming tried his best to explain.
 
"I don"t care what you say. I have decided that I will never see him ever again." Mai Ding made
an impertinent decision.
 
Li Ming sighed, and he knew that what he has said is in vain, and what An Ziyan said is important.
 
At that time, someone knocked on the door. Suddenly, Mai Ding became nervous:
An Ziyan must"ve happen to come back. I am so angry with him, but I cannot suppress the desire to see him. I"m so good for nothing.
 
Mai Ding winked at Li Ming, and Li Ming stood up to open the door, and he saw a middle-aged
woman standing in the doorway. Mai Ding saw his mother standing there. He asked in a disappointed voice: "Oh, its you. So, why are you here?"
 
"How dare you you talk that way? I just want to tell you a surprise." Mai Ding"s mother was
unsatisfied with his son"s behavior.
 
"h.e.l.lo, aunt." Li Ming got out of the way for Mai Ding"s mother respectfully.
 
"So you are Ding Ding"s roomate? You are so kind to help Mai Ding."
 
"Auntie, you are too kind."
 
Mai Ding interrupted their polite talk: "What do you want to do here?"
 
"l have a surprise for you. Your father has been transferred, so we have to move. We have already talked to the school princ.i.p.al. You just need fill an application. Are you happy?" Mai Ding"s mother said with an amused tone.
 
Mai Ding was just standing there, and his mind went blank. He then became numb from his heart until his feet.
 
Ironically, so many of his wishes have not come true, but this time it came true. Obviously
he was insincere. He bent his head and looked at his feet "I don"t want to go."
 
In fact, Mai Ding still has a glimmer of hope. He thought that as long as An Ziyan comes back, they are gonna get through this. But that hope was taken away.
 
"What nonsense are you saying? How can we leave you alone here? What the matter
with you? You have said that you don"t like the school and want to go somewhere else. Relax, a new school will be good for you. This school is both near our home and your dad"s work place.
 
The surprising news was closing in on Mai Ding. He was thinking about someone, not about school.
 
Li Ming is also surprised by the news: "Auntie, what a rushed decision. Don"t you
think it is actually pretty good here?"
 
"I have to do this. In fact, we made the decision one month ago, because I wanted to surprise Mai Ding. Why is he reacting like this?" Mai Ding"s mother stared at his pale face.
 
"I"ll just go out for a few minutes." Mai Ding rushed out of the dormitory and called An Ziyan with a sigh. Because An Ziyan"s grandpa"s condition improved, he went back home to sleep. As soon as he was about to fall asleep, a new call came in. He didn"t look at the caller"s name, frowned a bit and said, "So, what?"
 
His voice with much impatience let Mai Ding feel down again. He gritted his lip. "An Ziyan. I have to transfer to another school."
 
An Ziyan opened his eyes, listened to Mai Dings breathing, but he didn"t speak.
 
"An Ziyan, I have to go. Do you have any reactions? If you tell me that you don"t want me go, I will do my best to stay here. Please say something."
 
"Do whatever you want to do, I don"t care." An Ziyan hung up. He didn"t know why he spoke that way. That photo was still lingering in his mind. He was angry that Mai Ding did such an inexcusable thing. He didn"t know how to control the emotions that he has never had. They suffered from that strange feeling. He felt the sadness of love. That kind of pain kept him awake all night.
 
What is our love for you, An Ziyan? I am subservient and servile. Why are you doing these cruel things to me? I"m afraid that I will cry for you.
 
Mai Ding soon went back to his dormitory. He smiled to his mother "I will fill up the drop- out application."
 
Li Ming can see the sorrow behind his smile. If they break up by mistake, it will be a pity.
 
"OK, I will help you pack."
 
Mai Ding was busy with everything regarding the application. Something went wrong. Li Ming called An Ziyan, but his call couldn"t go through. By the time Mai Ding finished with everything, his things were packed. Mai Ding didn"t have many friends in school, so he just said goodbye to Li Ming.
 
Li Ming wanted to say something, but he chose not to. It happened all too fast. Earlier morning, they were just talking about An Ziyan, but by afternoon, they have to say goodbye.
 
"I will come over when I have time. It"s not so far away." Mai Ding smiled as he patted Li Ming"s shoulder.
 
"Yes, it just takes six hours by car." Mai Ding"s mother said.
 
"Take care."
 
"I was glad to be your roommate. I will tell you my new phone number soon." Mai Ding said as he nodded his head.
 
"Don"t say such things. I"ll send you off." Li Ming took Mai Ding"s luggage, and they went out of the bedroom. Mai Ding"s mother and Li Ming went ahead. Mai Ding stood in front of room 501, touching the door gently. It seemed as if he would never be able move on.
 
"Ding, hurry up." It was too late. They would likely miss the car.
 
Mai Ding got on the car after saying goodbye to Li Ming
 
When the car is pa.s.sed the door of An Ziyan"s room, Mai Ding stared at it.
 
Mai Ding didn"t want to break up with An Ziyan.
 
He couldn"t pa.s.s a day without yearning for An Ziyan.
 
Thinking about it, Mai Ding couldn"t help but cry. The place become smaller and smaller. Mai Ding slowly broke down. He began to sob, then he cried louder.
 
People near their car constantly looked at them. Mai Ding"s mother panicked. She never thought that Mai Ding had such deep feelings for his school, she then gave tissue to Mai Ding. "Hey, you should stop crying."
 
"I don"t want to cry, but I"m just so sad."
 
An Ziyan, love is something that belongs only to you.
