The typos and grammatical errors in this draft were forgivable, but even the main character’s name was spelled wrong, and in more than a few places at that. Ling Miao was furious. If not for the file metadata indicating that the last edit to this document had been made yesterday, Ling Miao would have thought Su Yuyang was pulling another prank on him.
It was noon by the time Ling Miao finished editing yesterday’s draft. Ling Miao hurriedly packed up his things and went to the kitchen to cook, but was waylaid by Su Yuyang.
Su Yuyang handed Ling Miao a piece of paper. Ling Miao glanced at it quickly and frowned. “What do you mean by this?”
“Can’t you read?” Su Yuyang smiled. “It’s there in black and white. From now on, you are to clean my room and wash my clothes.”
“Hey, Su Yuyang.”
Su Yuyang didn’t respond. He folded his arms over his chest and leaned against the wall as he waited for Ling Miao to finish.
“I cook and edit for you every day, but you’re not satisfied, and now you even want me to do laundry and clean your room for you? Do you really think you hired a nanny? But wait, Su Yuyang, there’s more! Did you even discuss this with me? What gives you the right to decide everything on your own? Let me tell you, Su Yuyang, don’t go thinking I’m an easy target just because I have nowhere to go.” Ling Miao leaned in a little more with every word he said, and by the time he was done he was almost on top of Su Yuyang.
“Ling Miao…” Su Yuyang was about to remind Ling Miao to back away a little when Ling Miao lost his balance and fell onto Su Yuyang.
Ling Miao weighed over 130 pounds. Slammed between Ling Miao and the hard wall, Su Yuyang felt like he had sustained internal injuries. More importantly, Ling Miao’s lips were plastered against Su Yuyang’s face.
Ling Miao used the wall as leverage to get back on his feet. He lowered his head and rubbed at his lips with the back of his hand; he didn’t dare look Su Yuyang in the eye, so he didn’t see Su Yuyang’s complicated expression. He said in embarrassment, “That…”
“So you really are interested in me.” Su Yuyang’s eyes narrowed and he stared at the top of Ling Miao’s head with a teasing expression.
“Scram!” Ling Miao yelled.
Hearing his shout, Su Yuyang was sure that Ling Miao had returned to normal.
Su Yuyang lowered his head to look Ling Miao in the eye. A faint smile hung at the corner of his lips. To Ling Miao’s eyes, the smile seemed mocking.
