Love Letter

Xie Mingze thought Fen Yichen was being kind to him after the hotdog thing, turned out he was just forcing him to eat something because he needs Mingze to copy three powerpoints with more than hundred slides each in his notebook. 

It was his fault for thinking for a moment that he was nice. 

By the time he finished writing everything it was nearly midnight, his hands hurt from all of the writing too. 

"You're done? Dry my hair."

Fen Yichen handed over a hairdryer to Mingze. He sat on the ground and Mingze sat on the bed to blow dry his hair. 

"You're the only person I know who would bathe at this time." He grumbles, but knew the Fen couple is the only reason he is able to go to college so he kept his anger in.

'Is he a child? Can't even dry his hair on his own.'

"I'll be having practice next week for a musical play, you can't order me around for a while."

"Hmm.."

Is he already sleeping? Fen Yichen did not say anything more, only the sound of the blower was heard inside the room. The two of them were not friends despite the long time they spent with each other. Xie Mingze would be more like a servant tending to his needs in exchange for his parent's generosity.

Still since Fen Yichen kept him busy, he didn't had time to think about his senior and he didn't feel a tad bit lonely. 

***

As Mingze predicted he became incredibly busy with practice. 

"Even supporting roles are important! Study all your lines properly."

The character he would be portraying only have 5 lines and nothing else, he only appeared for a few second on the stage. Mingze's voice won't be showcased because he wouldn't be given the chance to sing, so why was he so busy?

It was because the main lead kept on asking him to stay on the theatre even if he doesn't have anything to do, asking him to repeat the five line over and over again like a cursed chant in a spell book. 

Xie Mingze initially thought that he would be acting as the main lead role in this musical since his professor told him so, but upon arriving he was told he was just a minor character with less thang 10 lines. The annoying thing was the need to stay despite not being needed. It was a total waste of time.

"Mingze, would Yichen come here?" The female lead of the play, Hanya, approached Mingze in the backstage. He wondered why Hanya thought Yichen would come just because he was there? 

"He won't be coming. Despite the fact that he enrolled as a music major he hardly attend the lectures because he is also majoring in business."

Honestly, why did he even enrolled in the first place? Just to spite him? Mingze couldn't understand Yichen's brain process. In the end he was the one doing his assignments. 

"Then can you hand him this letter?" 

A pink letter was handed to him, it was obvious what it was without opening it. It was a love letter, the blushing on her face gave him as much hint. He wondered what was good about Yichen, other than his face and money? 

"I got it, but I can't promise you success."

"Don't you know? Only the letters you handed personally to Fen Yichen would be accepted, so I'm betting for atleast a few percent than nothing."

"Is that so?"

Xie Mingze did not notice. They are exaggerating, it must've been a coincidence. 

"Can you please help me put it in his bag? In exchange I'll buy you a burger and a drink."

He accepted the request, it was just putting a letter in the bag, what could even go wrong?

***

Fen Yichen was always leaving his bag inside his car, Xie Mingze knew the driver so he easily managed to enter the car. Ohhh he saw the his bag lying on the back seat. With the pink letter in hand he slowly creepe in and opened the zipper.

He acted sneakily just because he doesn't want the driver to see him putting a pink love letter inside his master's bag. Xie Mingze doesn't want the driver to get the wrong idea about his intentions. 

Just as he was about to fully hid the pink letter inside the bag, the car door suddenly opened. He froze in place as he made eye contact with the person he doesn't want to be seen by the most. Xie Mingze wanted to explain first, but he didn't know how to explain without sounding defensive. 

Finally, Yichen's eyes fell on his hand stuffing the pink letter on his bag. He was expresionless, but if you look closely his ears was turning red. 

"What are you doing?" His voice had a hint of teasing as he grabbed the bag and the letter on his hand. Fen Yichen didn't seem angry and was his usual self. 

The pink letter was revealed in its full glory. The driver in the front seat coughed, "I'll excuse myself first, I need to go to the comfort room first." 

"No I think-"

The door shut as he left quickly leaving the two of them in the car. 

At this moment Fen Yichen was almost grinning from ear to ear, he slowly put down his bag as he admired the pink envelope on his hand. 

"Why are you suddenly sneaking around and putting this in my bag? If you want to say something you could've told me."

"I think you've misunderstand something." 

Xie Mingze sigh as he awkwardly scratch the back of his head, this was an unexpected situation. He glared at the pink envelope on Yichen's hand. 

"What is there to misunderstand?"

'Is there no name on the letter?' 

For now he had no choice but to deny that the letter is from him even if he needs to put his life on the line. 

"I don't like you, I don't have any reason to put that letter in your bag. It was just a request."

"A request?" He raised his eyebrows obviously in a bad mood. He shifted mood so fast Xie Mingze wondered if he is bipolar.

"The female lead, Hanya in our play asked me to give it to you."

"Since its a request then she must've promised you something, what is it?" The pink letter was now crumpled in his hand, his mood was going down faster than anticipated.

"She promised me burger and a drink." Fen Yichen laughed sarcastically after hearing his answer. He grabbed his bag and tore the letter apart.

"Don't do this in the future. Use this card if you need food, don't do anything stupid." He left and slammed the car door hard after throwing his bank card towards Xie Mingze.
