Call

As if it was a rule, everyone shut their mouths eager to hear the conversation. 

Ring- 

Even before the first ring even finished the phone was picked up. Xie Mingze frowned that the phone call this time was answered fast again. Is the dude not busy? Why did he answer so fast, he stared at the phone hard enough.

"Hello? Mingze? Do you want me to pick you up?"

It was obviously Fen Yichen, but why is his way of speaking to Mingze so soft? Hanya who managed to talk to Yichen once was also surprised. Fen Yichen was the type of person who was polite, but doesn't get that overly close. He was the type to put walls.

"Hey, Mingze say something."

Mu Bai mouthed, indicating he should start acting now. With a sigh Mingze clicked the speaker mode.

"No."

Yichen: What do you mean no? Who made you upset?

"Why aren't you calling me babe anymore?" He tried imitating the couples he saw in the movies and tried doing the cutesy voice. His face until the base of his neck turned red. Even the person on the other side didn't answer for a few seconds. 

Still the show must go on, "You don't love me anymore?"

Even Zheyan gave him a thumbs up saying it sounds so real he was getting a second hand embarrassment. 

Yichen: Xie Mingze you're making me crazy… Where are you I'll pick you up?

"I don't want to. Only my boyfriend could pick me up." He continued acting coy

Yichen: Wait for me. 

The phone call ended with a beep. And the crowd erupted with a shout.

"Holy crap, even if you're my boyfriend I don't mind being the one taking care of you Mingze."

"You're like a cat boss turned into a human. I don't swing that way, but I don't mind taking care of you."

Even the boys felt like Mingze was so sweet when he wanted to be and would no doubt scratch you if he doesn't like you. Just like a cat. 

Maybe the alcohol was getting in his head, Xie Mingze thought it was fun to tease the always composed Fen Yichen. 

"Guys we need to leave after I bill out! Let's go for round 2!"

"Round 2 let's go!"

Everyone agreed to going to round 2, they just decided to tidy up a bit and maybe go to a karaoke for the after party. Mingze texted Yichen saying not to go find him because it was just a joke and he would go to the after party. 

Originally, both Mingze and Zheyan planned to leave as soon as they could, but turned out it was fun to attend this drinking parties.

The president of the music department paid for the bill from their funds and then each one of them started to call for taxis to go to the next destination. It wasn't always they could have fun so this time Zheyan and Mingze happily joined them in.

They were supposed to ride Zheyan's car, but since he drink some alcohol they called a taxi to take them to the next place.

***

The business department's party was completely different from the Music department. They booked a hotel and was wearing suits and dresses, its more like a socialite event. Maybe it's because they are from a business course.

A lot of people were drinking winde from their glass, the food was left untouched. It's more like a design there than something to take. Jazz music was silently playing on the background. 

"I should have just joined Zheyan in rebelling and join the other department. This place is so boring, the only way it could be saved is if I set the place on fire." Kim Sinian played with the champagne on his glass.

Fen Yichen didn't say anything, but he was thinking of the same thing. The people here are too uptight. 

"Senior Fen, can I have your phone number?" A first year approached them to ask for Yichen's number. He showed his usual business like smile.

"I'm sorry I didn't bring my phone with me."

As soon as he said he didn't bring his phone, it started to ring. It wasn't supposed to ring unless it was from Mingze, he made it that way in his setting. Brazenly, he pulled his phone from his pocket in front of them.

Kim Sinian was dumbfounded by his friend's actions. The face slapping from his lies came to early, but Fen Yichen didn't care and just answered the phone that he was supposedly had left.

Clearly getting the sign the freshman just bowed her head before leaving. On the other hand Kim Sinian burst out laughing on the spot unable to stop himself. His friend was just too much.

"You got your face slapped, I feel embarrassed for you."

Mingze: "You don't love me anymore?"

This person acting so sweet to him on the phone feels illegal. Is he too drunk? Why is he saying this things? It was obvious he was drunk. The usual Mingze would never say these things to him. Nevertheless, Yichen felt annoyed at the thought of someone else seeing Mingze like this.

Obviously Kim Sinian was ignored by Yichen, "Xie Mingze you're making me crazy… Where are you I'll pick you up?" He passed the glass he was holding to the person beside him. 

"Oi Yichen I'm not a waiter." 

"I need to leave. Tell them that I need to leave urgently." It was a relief that he didn't drink anything and could still drive. He could text Zheyan and asked where they are.

"I want to come with you. It's too boring to stay here."

His words was ignored as Fen Yichen left the venue without looking back. Kim Sinian could only shook his head, it was obvious who called him. He was acting like someone set his butt on fire and was eager to leave the party.

"Why is he even fetching him? It's not like they are in a relationship. They are more of like his employee and boss right?"
