Chapter 130 - New Year's Eve
Chapter 130 - New Year's Eve
Ning Fei entered the house, looked back at the man who was closing the door, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
——Will I never hear this guy say "I'm sorry" in my entire life?
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Ning Fei couldn't help but curse himself for being crazy. Thinking about something for a lifetime was simply insane.
"What's going on?" Duan Yunhong turned back after closing the door and saw Ning Fei staring at him in a daze. "Do you want to take back the things you left in the car again?"
Yes, the cigarettes, red wine, and food that Duan Yunhong had just stuffed into Ning Fei's pocket... were all thrown into the car.
Ning Fei hadn't thought of that at all, but when Duan Yunhong mentioned it, he deliberately joked, "What can I do if I thought of it? Can you condescend to help me get it up?"
Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to regret letting me in again and find a reason to lock me out?"
Ning Fei's reaction to this was to sneer, turn around, and not even bother to answer a single word.
Duan Yunhong watched his back as he walked in. Two seconds later, he silently picked up the car keys that Ning Fei had placed on the shoe cabinet, turned around, opened the door and went out.
Ning Fei heard the noise and turned around, seeing the door slam shut. He blinked in surprise.
"No way, are you really that obedient...?"
***
When Duan Yunhong came back with his things, Ning Fei was holding the door open for him with one hand and talking on the phone with the other.
"...I got home and didn't have time to send you a message." Ning Fei opened the door and walked back to the living room, "Even if you don't call me, I will send you a message later. My memory is not that bad.
“I’m really home, I’m not drunk enough to fall asleep in the car!
"Fuck, who took the photo for you as proof? Just take care of those two lying down in your house and stop nagging.
"I don't want to hear it anymore. I'm hanging up."
After saying that, Ning Feizhen hung up the phone. Duan Yunhong came in, walked to the dining table, and asked casually while putting things down, "Yu Zhou checking on me?"
"Him? He probably can't remember anyone else now." Ning Fei also came over to check things. Things that needed to be put in the refrigerator were put in the refrigerator, and things that needed to be put on the shelves were put on the shelves.
Duan Yunhong said: "That was the person who had dinner with you today checking up on you."
"Forget about the tricks." Ning Fei glanced at him, "I don't want to be forced to check on me, and then you check on me again."
Duan Yunhong said: "Is there anyone who can force you?"
"Ha, isn't there one right in front of you?" Ning Fei said jokingly, "I said 'no reception', but you still followed me. And it's New Year's Day, and you're waiting downstairs without even saying hello, and you even gave me a birthday present without my permission. What's the difference between you and a stalker... Wait, what is this?"
"An old brand of dessert from Huichuan Base, made with animal cream."
"I know it's a snack. No, to be more precise, it should be a small cake." Ning Fei held up a transparent packaging box that was slightly larger than the palm of his hand and observed the white cream cake inside. There was also a bright red strawberry on the top. "Director Duan, this can't be my birthday cake, right?"
"If it's not your birthday, then it's not a birthday cake." Duan Yunhong replied, "It's just a snack."
"Tsk, you weren't planning to sing a birthday song for me and let me blow out the candles, were you?" Ning Fei turned around, leaned against the table, and tilted his head to look at Duan Yunhong, "What other gifts do you have? Just give them all at once, let me see your sincerity."
Duan Yunhong looked at him and said, "Wang Haiyang is going to share his research. Isn't that sincere enough?"
Ning Fei raised his eyebrows: "If that's what you want to say, then let's start discussing the technology sharing agreement now?"
"..." Even Duan Yunhong probably didn't want to talk about these things on New Year's Eve, so he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the sofa, "That down jacket is also for you."
"I guessed it, it's not your size." Ning Fei snorted and laughed, "When you were the model director, you made up all sorts of excuses to send me clothes, and even said that the size just happened to be mine instead of yours."
Duan Yunhong said: "No need to find an excuse this time, it was originally given to you."
The sudden confession startled Ning Fei.
But he changed his mind and thought that it was probably because the "gift-giving" part perfectly matched Duan Yunhong's "boss" attribute, so this level of honesty was still possible.
So Ning Fei calmed down and replied, "Oh, OK. Anything else?"
"And... there are things that cannot be taken out now." Duan Yunhong glanced at Ning Fei's guest bedroom, "At least the bed and wardrobe in that room need to be moved out."
Ning Fei seemed to have some feeling, but still subconsciously asked: "What is it?"
"You like it, but the bed I couldn't find last time." Duan Yunhong replied, "It's already filled with water."
Ning Fei: “…”
It's a waterbed, but it has so many complicated adjectives.
"Letting you in is already an exchange for sharing technological achievements, and you still want me to give you a pillow business, that's wishful thinking." Ning Fei sneered, "Also, don't talk as if I was the only one who enjoyed the water bed before. Have you never slept on it before?"
"Why are you so picky?" Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows. "I didn't say that you have to do anything after I took it out. I found it for you. Didn't you like it before?"
Ning Fei had not lost interest in the water bed, but after hearing his matter-of-fact tone, she felt unhappy and blurted out, "Oh, I don't like it now."
Duan Yunhong said: "There's no need to force yourself to say you don't like it. Didn't you ask this before?"
"I liked it then, but I don't like it now." Ning Fei looked at him, "Isn't it okay if you're tired of it now?"
"Really disgusting?"
"Is it your turn to question?" Ning Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, "Duan Yunhong, do you think you have mastered my preferences?"
Duan Yunhong didn't dare to say that he had fully understood his preferences, but he knew that what he said was probably not the truth.
But from the look between the two, Duan Yunhong could see some of the other person's emotions. He realized that if he had to continue to dwell on this topic, Ning Fei would really never look at the water bed again. This is not necessary for Ning Fei, it is just an entertainment activity. When he gets angry, he can give up the water bed, give up cigarettes and alcohol, and even... give up some people.
Yes, Ning Fei also gets tough when he gets angry. But Ning Fei is the kind of person who is stubborn and says, "If I say I can do it, I can do it." Therefore, Ning Fei never admits that he is stubborn. Even if he argues to the end, he will only say "What I said is the fact."
However, at the moment, Duan Yunhong has already "ceded a lot of land and paid compensation" in order to get in, and he thinks he has humbled himself enough. If Ning Fei is annoyed now and then kicked out, the previous "sunk costs" will be a huge loss.
"Okay, if you don't like it, I won't give it to you, okay?" Duan Yunhong had to "give in" again, "I won't take it out and take up your place, okay?"
Ning Fei: “…”
——Strange, very strange.
A strange premonition came to me. Ning Fei was ready to continue debating with Duan Yunhong, but he didn't expect this guy to give in again. Ning Fei's temper suddenly died down. It was not right to continue to make things difficult for him, so he let him go. However, he felt like he had been fooled.
In this state of mind, Ning Fei couldn't help but say something sarcastic: "Why are you so strange today? What do you want to do?"
"I'm going along with your wishes, isn't that good?" Duan Yunhong said, "If you want to ask questions, just ask them directly and we'll sit down and talk. But the issue of how to share scientific research results is an exception. We can talk about that after we get to work."
The questions he was referring to were why he came, why he decided to share Wang Haiyang's research results, and why he prepared a birthday gift. He thought he would be asked questions as soon as he stepped into Ning Fei's house, but the fact was, Ning Fei didn't ask a single question.
Ning Fei had clearly questioned him when they were downstairs, but Duan Yunhong didn't give a direct answer at that time. Now Duan Yunhong is ready to talk, but Ning Fei seems to have lost interest.
Just like he said just now - "Isn't it okay if I'm tired of it now?"
"... Questions? There's nothing to ask." Ning Fei really didn't want to talk, so he stood up and said, "You didn't want to answer just now, and I don't want to ask now. I drank a lot tonight and I'm sleepy, so let's just leave it at that."
"It won't hurt to chat." Duan Yunhong rarely used a more tactful way of speaking, "Besides, it's only ten minutes before the New Year's Eve, and I'm free anyway."
"Ha, why should I wait for the New Year's Eve with you staring at each other? Did I let you in because I need someone to spend the New Year's Eve with me?" Ning Fei sneered softly, turned and walked towards his bedroom, waved his hand and said, "I'm going to take a shower and go to bed, sorry I won't keep you company. You can do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to enter my room... oh, right."
At the door of the room, he stopped and turned to look at Duan Yunhong: "If you want to change to your own gorgeous king-size bed, that's fine. If you really want to sleep on a water bed in the middle of winter, that's fine too, but you must restore the room to its original state when you leave, thank you."
After saying that, Ning Fei entered the room. After a while, he came out with things and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.
Duan Yunhong was already sitting on the sofa, swiping his tablet. When Ning Fei came out, he just glanced at him casually, as if he had accepted Ning Fei's arrangement.
Ning Fei walked into the bathroom in silence and closed the door. He hesitated for a second whether to lock the door, but the sound of locking the door was quite loud. Ning Fei didn't want Duan Yunhong to think that he cared too much, so he gave up locking the door.
Then he put the phone on the shelf.
It’s not that he was waiting for anyone’s message, or playing music or listening to videos while taking a shower. Ning Fei just simply wanted to be able to check the time at any time. He could have showered quickly, but tonight, he didn't want to. He just wanted to spend the New Year's Eve in the bathroom.
It's quite humorous. Although it was Ning Fei's home, he had to run to the bathroom to avoid an "outsider" just because he didn't want to celebrate the New Year in the same space with the other person.
Ning Fei himself felt that he was confused. I agreed to let the person in for unknown reasons, but also wanted to avoid him for unknown reasons, and even got emotional for unknown reasons. He knew that he had just behaved in an inconsistent, erratic, and moody manner, but he couldn't help doing it. He also knew that although his fluctuating emotions seemed to be directed at Duan Yunhong who came uninvited, the deeper reason was that he felt somewhat regretful about his decision.
Perhaps, it was because of the last time that Duan Yunhong cheated Ning Fei that he couldn't help but wonder what Duan Yunhong was trying to do, and couldn't help but think about whether he had made the wrong decision. He verbally said that he let Duan Yunhong into the house because the other party agreed to give Wang Haiyang his research results. But he thought again, why did he feel relieved when he heard this? Without this achievement, it doesn't mean we can't win, and there's no need to give in. As soon as he heard the result, he let Duan Yunhong go. It felt like he would forgive him as soon as Duan Yunhong apologized. When Ning Fei thought of this, he felt that he had not suffered enough losses, and became annoyed because of the decision he had made.
Or maybe, some aspects of Duan Yunhong tonight were beyond Ning Fei's expectations; Ning Fei didn't want to think about the reasons for these abnormalities, and... didn't dare to think about it.
Amid the sound of splashing water, Ning Fei vaguely realized that it seemed a bit "dangerous" to continue like this.
—I have to…
Just at this moment, the phone vibrated. Within two seconds, there were a few more shocks. Ning Fei wiped his hands subconsciously, picked up his phone, unlocked it, and clicked on the unread message.
Duan Yunhong (0:00): [Happy New Year. 】
