Those Sweet Times

Chapter 33 Part 4

Xiang Nuan walked briskly, though Lin Chuyan could easily keep pace with
her as he had much longer legs. He cast his eyes down at the hand holding
his wrist. She seemed quite anxious, somewhat forcefully dragging him along.
Her palm clamped tightly over his wrist.

Xiang Nuan hastily pulled him into a narrow alley that was so quiet that the
noise from the main street could only be occasionally heard.

“What exactly are you doing?” Lin Chuyan asked in a small voice, his voice
somewhat skittish.

But when he lowered his eyes, he met a pair of angry eyes.

“Lin Chuyan.” She called his name gritting her teeth. “Don't you think you've
gone too far this time?”

Lin Chuyan was stunned: “What did I do?”

“What did you do? Do you think Hu Ge is an idiot? You called him w.a.n.g ba
first and now you act like you're his buddy? Do you feel especially happy
when you play with others like that? You have so many little slaves, are you
going to turn Hu Ge into one of your slaves as well? I can tell Hu Ge treats
you as a true friend, but how do you treat him? You know better than anyone!”

Xiang Nuan blurted everything in one breath and grew even angrier. She
stared at him with wide eyes, as if she could drill a hole through his head
with her eyes.

Lin Chuyan suddenly grew dejected: “So it's because of this.”

“That's right. It's because of that!”

“In your eyes, am I that kind of person?” He looked her in the eyes with a
hurtful expression on his face.

Xiang Nuan turned her eyes away and remained silent.

Lin Chuyan promptly made a phone call and turned on the speaker.

“h.e.l.lo, Chuyan, what's up?” Chen Yinghu's voice came from the other
end of the phone.

“Hu Ge, I have to confess something to you.”

“Oh, what is it?”

“My name in your fan group before was ‘Hu Ge's Laugh Lines,' which means
I was calling you a w.a.n.g ba.”

“Oh, so it's really true? d.a.m.n it, that's a bit too much!”

“That was before I knew you. Now I know you're a good person so I've
changed it.”

Chen Yinghu was amused: “Forget about it, I forgive you-- --No, wait, now
your name is ‘Hu Ge's Little Tail,' it is you, right?”

“Yes.”

“Can't that still be read as w.a.n.g ba?”[1]

Lin Chuyan: “......”

He truly didn't think about that.

Lin Chuyan briefly explained to Chen Yinghu and they arranged a meeting
place before hanging up the phone.

Chen Yinghu wasn't upset at all.

Xiang Nuan totally didn't expect that. So this issue was resolved just like this?

Lin Chuyan put his phone away and glanced at her: “The reason why we
became friends is because we understand each other.”

“Why is it that I can't understand how you two understand each other?”

“We are both misunderstood geniuses.”

“......” Xiang Nuan was shocked and coldly looked at him: “Can you be any
more modest?”

Lin Chuyan looked down and smiled warmly. He asked in a small voice:
“Are you still angry?”

Xiang Nuan twitched her mouth.

“You're not angry now? It's my turn to ask you something.” His smile
disappeared as his face grew more serious: “What do you mean by little
slaves? I have a lot of little slaves?”

“We should go back.” Xiang Nuan didn't look at him and turned around
to walk away.

He grabbed her wrist.

Then she heard him murmur behind he with a light chuckle: “So, are you
my little slave?”

[1]: Tail in Chinese is 尾巴 (wei ba), though it's a different “ba” (八vs.巴), but
it's p.r.o.nounced exactly the same way.  So he's still calling him a “w.a.n.g ba.”
