I’ll Still Love You Even if You’re a Man 2, Chapter 18: The End and Beginning of Youth

Mai Ding stopped talking and all went silent. After a long time, Zhou Ge suddenly shouted out to the empty front, "I'm going to be the rich second generation who loves Ellen the most forever!" Ellen giggled next to him and also shouted in the manner of Zhou Ge, "I'm going to be a rich second generation’s wife who loves Zhou Ge the most forever!" It's so numb that Mai Ding wanted to vomit.


Li Ming becomes the third person to speak out: "I want to be the happiest geek in the world."

Cao Chengyi said inhumanely, "I want to taste all kinds of men."

Bai Xiaosi laughed, half-serious and half-joking: "I want to be an uninhibited bachelor woman."

An Su thought about it, seeming to hide what he really wanted to say, and just said faintly, "I'm going to beat up Mai Ding countless times."

"What a wish you have! It's too much!" The others stared at Mai Ding, it was Mai Ding's turn to make a wish, he felt that if it was too hemp or not, he would become a person like Zhou Ge, so he weighed it, Bai Xiaosi said, "It seems that Mai Ding has no wish, where is the ex-husband, what else do you want?" He skipped over Mai Ding so casually, Mai Ding wanted to say something back, but he didn't know what to say, he really couldn't think of anything to wish, for now, probably his biggest wish had come true long ago. He looked at An Ziyan through the moonlight in the dark night.

"I want you crazy people to stay away from me."

"It's so boring, you know, it's hard for people to express themselves." Despite everyone's complaints, they couldn't help but laugh, sometimes people are like that, what's needed is not a warm man who shushes, but someone who will curse themselves, Mai Ding has somehow moved next to An Ziyan at a volume that only two people can hear: "Is what you said at the graduation ceremony true?"

"Did I say anything at graduation?"

"It's hard not to admit it, so many people have heard it."

"So what." An Ziyan is different from Mai Ding, seldom convincing people with reason, whether it is direct admission or denial, Mai Ding hunched over: "If you say something, you have to admit it, you said that even if I am a little strict with you, a little dumb, after work may not be able to find talent, you will still be by my side." Mai Ding changed An Ziyan's original words more than a little.

"I don't remember ever saying anything like that."

Mai Ding gritted his teeth, "That's the one: No matter how annoying your ramblings are, how retarded you are, how much of a loser you'll become when you enter society, I can't be ready to leave you, so don't be afraid, I'm with you." The repeated word for word, An Ziyan's expression was subtle, seemingly repelling what he had said.

"I was just kidding."

"Does that mean that if I'm being verbose, retarded, and a loser after graduation, you're going to dump me in a minute?"

"We'll see."

"I want to know what the worst-case scenario is, divorce?" Mai Ding asked patiently.

"It's not out of the question."

"Do you see that I am amused?" Mai Ding tried to wrench his hand away but was grabbed by An Ziyan, who didn't look at him, but just looked up at the night sky, "You haven't been less nagging or stupid in school, and those reasons aren't enough, I think you'll have to find more reasons before I abandon you."




"How much more exactly is enough?"

"Your short life is too short to find."

Mai Ding rolled his eyes at An Ziyan and saved the vicious words for another time, today was graduation, so let him go for now. Whether it was the third or fourth time today that An Ziyan held his hand, he couldn't remember, he wasn't in the mood to remember at the time.

The group halfway up the hill, all looking so young in the moonlight, four years had had little effect on their appearance, their laughter echoing through the empty mountain forest.

Since we will see each other again at any time, we will leave without any warmth. The rest of them including Mai Ding and An Ziyan stood at the foot of the hill.

"How do we get back?" Mai Ding asked.

"I'll carry you." An Ziyan replied.

"Really?"

"Of course it's a lie, to cheer you up for a few seconds and knock you back to reality."

"The devil!" Mai Ding exasperatedly reached for a taxi. The faint smell of smoke lingers in the cabs, the radio plays joke segments, and the neon lights of the streets glowing at night can never be more dazzling than the sun, but these days many people are no longer obsessed with something as warm as the sun and prefer to indulge in the lure of the night.

An Ziyan pressed down the car window, the wind whistled in, he looked out the window for a while and then turned his head to look at Mai Ding, could not help but flick the corner of his mouth, Mai Ding's head was tilted to one side, his lips slightly open, with the car turned body also swayed lightly.

"Hey, retard." He reached out and pushed Mai Ding, seeing no response from him, he sneered and sat down next to Mai Ding, letting his head rest on his arm. After a long time, the car stopped at their place, Mai Ding had no intention to wake up, An Ziyan had to get out of the car first, went around to the other side of the car door, bent down to carry Mai Ding out of the car.

"You're heavy."

Mai Ding frowned and bobbed his head twice, finding a comfortable position in An Ziyan's arms before his brow widened. Seeing Mai Ding sleeping so deeply, An Ziyan mischievously turned the hugging Mai Ding upside down and saw him wrinkle his eyebrows again before walking in the direction of the bright light with satisfaction. What the hell is wrong with having a little fun?

They passed the streetlights, and the shadows of the ground followed. Ordinary scenery, ordinary pictures, the more beautiful the words are thoughtfully made up, the ordinary is just right.

Leaving the school they took only the textbooks, the diploma, Mai Ding's pretentious photo and love, and everything else.

This youth and story that belonged to the campus came to an end, but the second it ended, it meant another youth and story had begun.
