"Jerry, what are you doing?"
It was the evening of that day. After successfully deceiving Zhiye and having a smooth date, Su Yuqian and I finally became lovers. I was so happy, feeling like I had eaten honey, with a smile of happiness uncontrollably appearing on my face.
Leaning on the railing outside the door, I really wanted to announce it loudly. But afraid of disturbing others' rest, I didn't do that. Right now, I was chatting with Su Yuqian online.
"Yuqian... Are you asleep?" I happily typed these words and hit send.
"Stupid Jerry, who allowed you to call me Yuqian? You should call me Princess Your Highness... understood?"
"Since we're in a romantic relationship, can we drop the hierarchical titles?" I felt a little disappointed by her response.
"How... how about this, let's stick to it for now," she said. Seeing her words, I could only reply with a sad expression. But she quickly responded, saying, "You're really petty. It's the first time someone has called me that. I... I am very shy; I'm still not used to it. Why am I telling you this? Geez... foolish Yuqian."
"Does that mean I can call you Yuqian?" I became very happy again.
"Whatever you want, fool..."
Seeing Yuqian's reply, the dark clouds in my mind dispersed, and sunshine came through. Just as I was about to shout "hurrah", I suddenly heard Zhiye's voice from behind. My heart panicked, and I quickly put my phone back into my pocket.
"Ah... I was looking at the stars..." I immediately looked up at the sky. Although I found an excuse, my spine was covered in cold sweat.
"Stars?" Zhiye also looked up and said, puzzled. The sky was pitch black at this moment, with no stars in sight, not even the moon.
"There's nothing," I said. "It's a pity; I guess the absence of stars and the moon is due to air pollution."
"Possible," Zhiye nodded.
"Let's go back inside. It's quite cold outside," I turned around and walked towards the entrance.
"Jerry," Zhiye suddenly called me.
"What's the matter?" I cautiously turned around.
"Would you go on a date with me tomorrow?" Zhiye paused for a moment and completed the sentence.
"A date?" I was very surprised by what I heard.
"Can we? I want to go on a date with Jerry..." Zhiye's cheeks blushed slightly as she gazed at me with a hint of anticipation.
Should I refuse or accept? I appeared very hesitant.
"I..." The words couldn't come out of my mouth.
"Jerry, don't you want to? Although we don't have an official husband and wife status, let's say that we're in a romantic relationship. Is Jerry rejecting me? Have I not been good enough, or is your heart occupied by someone else?" Zhiye looked a little sad seeing my reaction.
"No..." I replied with a dim face.
"Then let's go on the date tomorrow. It's settled," Zhiye's face lit up with a smile. However, I wanted to refuse, but because of the hidden fear in my heart, the words stuck in my throat. What if I confided everything to Zhiye? Would she understand me? I would feel guilty, but I was already in a relationship with Yuqian. It was impossible for me to be with Zhiye anymore. I couldn't make up my mind, and many concerns swirled in my mind.
I returned to the living room and saw Zhiye holding a very nice basket, which she had taken out in the morning. I remembered it contained sandwiches, right?
Zhiye was happily busy in the kitchen, probably preparing for our date tomorrow. Seeing this, I clenched my teeth. Maybe I should tell Zhiye the truth about everything tomorrow during our date.
