"h.e.l.lo?" Liu Shenghao finally picked up the phone after it had been ringing for a long time.
"You finally picked up!" Huang Yu sounded very angry.
"What's going on? You called me in the middle of the night?" Liu Shenghao turned over, aching. "Little ancestor1A nickname used for little kids, by their parents, or for girlfriends, by their boyfriends. Either way, it's affectionate., what's wrong?"
"You weren't back yet on May 202In Chinese, May 20, or 520, sounds similar to "I love you", so it has become (a) Chinese Valentine's day so that was fine, but today, oh no! I mean yesterday, you came back. How come you didn't come see me?"
"There's nothing I would need to see you for?"
"Yesterday was May 213Similar significance as May 20!" Huang Yu was upset.
"What? That's not some holiday!"
"May 21! I love you! Although May 20 is too, there's no way you wouldn't know! Valentine's Day! There were announcing it all over the streats! Couples in love, everywhere! Didn't you see them?!"
When Liu Shenghao heard Huang Yu say the words "I love you", he felt his heart thud in his chest. He was about to say something, when he finally understood from the rest of Huang Yu's rant what was going on. En, little ancestor is mad. "I was at home all day. Didn't go out."
"What about TV? Didn't you watch TV? Or look at your phone!"
"I was too busy, and after I finished work I went straight to bed." Liu Shenghao felt the pain was too much to bear, and got out of bed to look for a thermometer.
"My dad was also busy! And he brought my daddy out to eat!" Liu Shenghao felt pressure  from the doting Dad Huang; perhaps in the future his daddy would also cause pressure… no he definitely would! Liu Shenghao was under pressure the size of a mountain!
"And why did it take you so long to pick up?" Huang Yu asked sadly. He had been calling him for almost three hours!
"I had a fever so I was too tired. I didn't hear it." Liu Shenghao looked at the thermometer. He really had a fever; no wonder he ached. It seems now he still wasn't craving cold!
"Never mind, never mind, I'm going to bed." Huang Yu hung up. Liu Shenghao looked at his phone stupidly. I said I had a fever, and you didn't ask about it at all? Maybe he didn't hear it or something. Anyway, Liu Shenghao felt like he was gla.s.s-hearted4easily hurt, overly sensitive.
Just as he was about to swallow down some medicine, he heard his phone ring again. He didn't know how, but the ringing actually sounded anxious!
"h.e.l.lo?"
"Shengsheng! Shengsheng! You have a fever?! Is it serious? Do you need to go to the doctor?" Huang Yu's anxious voice came out.
Looks like the response was just slow… "I'm fine. I just ate some medicine; I'll be fine after sleeping. Don't worry."
"I'm really sorry; you were working so hard, and I was just complaining about this and complaining about that."
"What are you saying? I admit it's my mistake. Huang Yu, sorry we couldn't celebrate this holiday together." Liu Shenghao smiled as he said it.
"It's fine, it's fine! This is a little girl's holiday anyway. I don't care… It's just that…"
"Just that what?" prompted Liu Shenghao.
"It's just that I missed a day to make memories with Shengsheng…"
Liu Shenghao listened to Huang Yu talk endlessly, talking about all his plans, talking about where they would go to eat, talking and talking and he also apologized, for giving him trouble, he was so busy and yet he was still so willful… As he kept on listening, LIu Shenghao suddenly thought about why he liked him. Then suddenly he laughed. It was just fate.
"What are you laughing about?" Huang Yu found it strange.
"Nothing. We will spend it together next year."
He waited for a long time with no response. Liu Shenghao looked at the phone. He didn't hang up?
"Huang Yu? Huang Yu? Why aren't you saying anything? h.e.l.lo?"
"Next next year too…" blurted out Huang Yu suddenly.
"What?" asked Liu Shenghao.
"Next next year too!"
Liu Sheng laughed and said, "En!"
"And next next next year too!"
"Okay!"
"And next next next next year too!"
"Okay!"
"And next next next next next… next next year too!"
"Okay!"
"And next next next next next next next…"
"Huang Yu." Liu Shenghao interrupted him.
"En?" The interrupted Huang Yu was still counting how many "next"'s he was going to say! He was busy! "What is it? I'm busy!"
"I love you…"
There was no sound on the other then, and then the next moment a click.
Did he hang up?! Liu Shenghao smiled helplessly, and drank his now cool medicine, then went to sleep. They'll talk tomorrow!
Huang Yu, at this moment, was blushing bright red as he clutched his phone. He laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling. He said he loved me… Shengsheng loves me…
