I’ll Still Love You Even if You’re a Man 2, Chapter 22: I have lowered myself to the lowest standard.

"So, you want me to watch you deceive?"


"How do you know people are liars when you're not there, good jobs only deserve what you can get, not me?"

"Go home and calm me down." An Ziyan didn't seem to bother with the argument, and Mai Ding was quiet for a few seconds, looking at An Ziyan, "Actually, you don't want me to get a job at all, do you?" He said what he had been wanting to ask all this time, only to hear An Ziyan's denial, if not denial, silence, An Ziyan never looked at Mai Ding and replied, "Yes."

"Stop!" Seeing An Ziyan unmoved, Mai Ding's hand rested on the doorknob, An Ziyan slammed on the brakes and glared at Mai Ding, "You want to die?!"

"If you want me, Mai Ding to spend the rest of my life just doing chores for you and serving you this is something which I can't do, don't you look down on me!" Mai Ding couldn't help but growl and pull open the car door, An Ziyan's phone rang at the wrong moment, it was the company's phone, he picked up the phone and put it to his ear before pressing the microphone, "Whatever you say, don't go to that place." Before An Ziyan could finish his sentence, Mai Ding was already running towards the crowd: "Hey, Mai Ding!" his voice was easily drowned out like Mai Ding's figure.

The first thing that came to mind was that Mai Ding didn't want An Ziyan to catch up with him, otherwise, he'd be late for work, and neither of them could be too capricious, because they weren't kids anymore, and Mai Ding kept thinking about what he'd just said. A lifetime of only doing the chores for An Ziyan, cleaning up his littered clothes behind him, forbidding him to put his legs on the coffee table... Mai Ding slumped his shoulders in defeat, how could he not do it himself, overriding all that, clearly only one thing: Being by An Ziyan's side, even in any form and way.

But is love and self-esteem a one-choice question?

Everyone is a different being, so it is inevitable that there will be disagreements, sometimes it is strange, there will be quarrels over small things, there will be quarrels strangely, just like we can also be happy over small things, there will also be strangely like a person, no one can understand the reason, it is so strange.

Mai Ding, who doesn’t want to go home, for the time being, doesn’t plan to go to that company for an interview anymore. In fact, he feels that he may be deceived, but he has a hint of fluke, thinking about it? Mai Ding dialed Bai Xiaosi’s phone and tried to scold An Ziyan for relief.

"Hey, Mai Mai, what's up?" Mai Ding heard a noisy voice on Bai Xiaosi's end of the phone.

"You're busy?"

"Kind of, that old fart of my dad's is worried that I've been playing greedily and not doing my job, and he's got me working at his company since graduation, so I can't even get to you and my ex-husband these days." There was a voice called Bai Xiaosi on the other side of the phone, Bai Xiaosi promised and said to Mai Ding, "You call me, is it possible that my ex-husband is bullying you again?"

"Isn't someone calling you?"

"Never mind."

Even Mai Ding could hear his slightly tired voice from being busy, he took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed, "Nothing, I haven't seen your silhouette lately, called you to disturb you."

"Looking for a beating."

"My side is suddenly busy too, so for now, you go busy too."




"Okay."

After hanging up the phone Mai Ding squeezed the phone and it turned out that the last person left was him. The people around them didn't know when they started to speed up their walking and how they couldn't get to the original point. It's so useless, to throw a tantrum at An Ziyan when you can't find a job, so useless, to always want to take his side after every fight.

He walked aimlessly to see if there were any job advertisements posted somewhere, and whenever he passed by the working people who worked hard on the job, he felt that they were so mature, could he become that kind of adult someday? There were days that went through a short internship, but the feeling was different, when he could still go back to school without working, and now, there was no going back.

Unknowingly the sky had changed with the time, Mai Ding looked at the time and felt that it was time to go home, and An Ziyan was about to leave work. He looked around, trying to find the bus stop, when he saw the road sign in front of his left, Mai Ding was somewhat familiar, had glimpsed the company address on the paper An Ziyan had brought home, An Ziyan's company must be nearby. Thinking about it, he felt ridiculous that An Ziyan was his husband, but he didn't even know exactly where his husband worked or how he worked. He walked forward again to see if he could run into An Ziyan, who was off duty.

The first thing he did today was to meet his husband, and he was surrounded by other people, it seemed that he should be a colleague and his boss, no matter where he stood, he was such a conspicuous presence, Mai Ding suddenly felt that only a few steps away, the An Ziyan who was not his own was far away from him.

"Together..." Let’s go home together, he wanted to say this, An Ziyan turned his head, Mai Ding’s eyes felt like he was in pain, and he seemed to be looking at an unrelated stranger with a medium figure next to him the person is full of doubts: "Who is he talking to?"

"I don't know."

Seeing the boy in front of him staring incredulously at An Ziyan, the medium-sized man nudged An Ziyan with his elbow: "You know him?"

"How can that be?" After saying that, An Ziyan walked towards the direction of the car and someone behind him called out to him, "We should celebrate today anyway."

"You guys go ahead, I have some business."

"Those female colleagues in the company are rumoring that you have a white rich beautiful friend, so do not go back to accompany him ah."

"False." An Ziyan pulled the car door open and a few people took the opportunity to burrow in and poked their heads out to greet the rest of their colleagues: "You guys drive along, let him treat you to a celebration today anyway." Loud noises and laughter mingled, and at this point, no one cared and remembered Mai Ding's existence. Mai Ding reversed course towards the bus stop, his fingers trembling, his cloudy brain finally starting to work a little, maybe An Ziyan hit his head and lost his memory, he couldn't remember himself, but soon the ridiculous thought was disproved and his insides clenched together.

He was reluctant to acknowledge me in front of his colleagues.

Because I'm too ordinary, or just because I'm a guy?

Vividly remembering the day An Ziyan graduated, he announced in front of the class and in front of the teacher that his name was An Ziyan and that he was a Mai Ding man.

What has changed your mind today?

Today he had terrible luck on top of discovering something that was terrible for him, and for him his low self-esteem is like an incurable disease, and once triggered, it also relapsed, while he was trying very hard to do well, thinking that one day he could catch up with An Ziyan, only to find that he was disqualified from even chasing.

Liking someone does make it easy to lower one’s the standard, and once it's true love, you are not caring about your ex, not caring about how much money you have, not caring about your job, not caring about how much real estate you have, not even caring about how you treat me, presumably some will laugh at the lack of reality of the above words. It's only as time or other reasons for not liking enough that one's standards are raised and one begins to demand something else to fill the gaping holes left by morphed emotions, it's time for you to make more money, when will you get a promotion, how can you not have a house, I've been so good to you and you have to repay me....

Mai Ding looked out the window, his eyes blurring and fogging up thinly.

An Ziyan, I've lowered myself to the lowest standard for you.





What else am I going to do?
