When Zhou Sheng returned, he found Yu Hao on the phone with his mother and almost blew up. Yu Hao was sharp-sighted and deft so he instantly protected the telephone cord. Meanwhile, Zhou Sheng's mother continued to choke back sobs on the other end as she talked about how she only had this one son and so on and so forth. She begged Yu Hao, pleading him to urge Zhou Sheng to come back, and also insisted that Yu Hao must return with him.

"O……kay……okay……" Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng were fighting over the telephone cord, but Yu Hao wasn't Zhou Sheng's opponent at all. Zhou Sheng twisted his arm and pressed him down onto the table, while Yu Hao turned his head and spoke into the phone, "Auntie, I'll hang up first okay!"

Zhou Sheng successfully plucked the telephone cord out. He was still pressing Yu Hao down; Yu Hao turned around to smile at him so he had to let go.

"Promise me one thing." Yu Hao said.

Zhou Sheng, "No."

Yu Hao, "I haven't even said it yet!"

Zhou Sheng, "You want me to go home!"

Yu Hao, "What if that's not it?"

oViTrN

Zhou Sheng conceded, "Okay, I'll promise you as long as you're not asking me to go home."

During dinnertime, Yu Hao washed the vegetables and cut up the meat while Zhou Sheng lay on his bed playing games on his phone. Both of them had hot pot for dinner. Yu Hao scrolled through his phone while picking out the meat and vegetables for Zhou Sheng, so Zhou Sheng just ate quietly. After they were done, Zhou Sheng washed the dishes. Yu Hao opened up his bag and packed both their clothes inside it. Zhou Sheng wiped his hands before walking over. Yu Hao carried his bag and Zhou Sheng asked, "Where are you going?"

Yu Hao, "Going on a holiday to celebrate the New Year."

Zhou Sheng, "……"

Yu Hao, "Send me to the train station ba, you promised me."

Zhou Sheng realised that Yu Hao wanted to force him to go home, so he said, "I'm not going!"

"You're going back on your words, I'm leaving." Yu Hao said to Zhou Sheng, "Good bye."

Zhou Sheng's expression was quite a spectacular sight, he said, "Don't try to lie to me! Aren't you just going to walk around outside? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Yu Hao said, "I really am going on a holiday. I finished all my work today, didn't I tell you about it before? Happy New Year."

Yu Hao closed the door, then left just like that.

Zhou Sheng was being completely led around by the nose by Yu Hao, so he could only grab his jacket and with both hands stuffed into his pockets, follow him out quickly.

Yu Hao got on the train, and so did Zhou Sheng. The two of them were in adjacent train carriages; Yu Hao saw Zhou Sheng, and Zhou Sheng could see him too. Zhou Sheng was pulling a long face. Yu Hao saw it from across the empty carriage, and his gaze carried a hint of laughter in it.

Zhou Sheng's face showed his displeasure blatantly. He had followed Yu Hao to the train station, and when he saw him taking his ticket, he realised that he really was leaving. He said, "You're really going on a holiday?!"

Yu Hao took off his earphones and said, "Yeah."

Lv2yuG

"Then what about me?" Zhou Sheng flared up, "You're leaving me behind to celebrate the New Year in our dorm alone?!"

"Go home." Yu Hao said seriously, "Listen to me and go back ba. She's your mother, why are the both of you torturing each other like this?"

G75FcY

Zhou Sheng finally lost to Yu Hao. He could only say gloomily, "Wait for me for awhile." And as he spoke, he left.

Yu Hao waited in line and took his ticket, and not long after, Zhou Sheng carried a box of duck necks over. He seemed as if he had accepted this reality, and knew that Yu Hao was doing this for his sake, so he said, "Keep your phone turned on."

BglJAH

"For going back." Yu Hao pa.s.sed the train ticket and Zhou Sheng's ident.i.ty card to him. He had bought two tickets for going back to Zhou Sheng's home.

"You rummaged through my wallet?" Zhou Sheng said in disbelief.

"I wash your underwear every day." Yu Hao, "What's wrong with rummaging through your wallet a little?"

A lot of people suddenly turned their heads to look over and Zhou Sheng instantly felt embarra.s.sed, "Keep your voice down!"

YKWXqL

Zhou Sheng was thus tricked onto a train back home by Yu Hao. They sat on neighbouring seats, and Zhou Sheng's face couldn't look any worse than it did now.

Yu Hao gave Chen Yekai a call and told him that he went out to celebrate the New Year. Chen Yekai said to Yu Hao, "I saw the two of you at the college gates just now."

Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng, then hung up. Zhou Sheng said, "I didn't bring a phone charger……"

Yu Hao, "I took it."
