He didn't want to add to someone else's problems. Anying's already had enough..

Anying withdrew his hands worriedly but all he could do was purse his lips in disapproval... But xueCheng wasn't going to share tragedy.

"No can do....". He said and grabbed anying's hands in his. His former sullen atmosphere was gone and replaced with his usual cheerfull one.

"Now why I came here.." he said looking expectantly at anying's face.

"Why?.". Anying asked, deciding not to prove further since the youth wasn't comfortable with it.

' nah. Your care is just shallow '. Says cchini. Anying just ignored it.

"Because... I got free tickets to Japan paid for by the movie emperor who was impressed by my work!. And I want to take all my friends with me for a free vacation!.".

"..."

What a coincidence... Japan eh?... Muahahahahaha... Hahahaha... Muahuahahahaha....

xueCheng stared at his face, waiting for a reaction or a response, but all he got was silence and anying's eyes sparkling.

"Anying. Hello.". He called, waving his hand in front of the youth's face but didn't get a response.

"Anying!.". He called again but got,

No response. He continued calling until he couldn't take it any longer. So he hit the young man on the back of his head.

"-anying... Anying!. *Whack!*.".

"Ouch!.". Anying held his head in disbelief. "Why'd you hit me?.".

"It's because you zoned out!. I was asking if you'd come but you weren't listening.".

"Hmmm...". Anying rolled his eyes... Then his gaze shifted to Hanze who didn't even flinch at the mention of a travel.

When xueCheng saw it, he knew he had screwed up hehehe...

"Um big brother... Can Anying come with us?.". He asked waringnly.

Hanse chuckled. "I thought we broke up?.". He said in a low masochistic tone.

"Y-you-!.".

"Fine you can go.". Hanze suddenly said.

Making anying's and xueCheng's heart go,

WAAAAAAAH?!!!.

" Arigato!.". xueCheng said with hearts in his eye... Anying was no happier

Wait, actually, he was confused. Hanze allowed him freedom to leave his presence... It was more than 5000km damnit. Why didn't it feel right and why did it feel right at the same time?!.

Oh my goodness, he was gonna die from too much thinking!.

"-*whack!*whack!*". Anying received a double hit on the back of his head.

Again!. The f*ck!.

He glared at xueCheng who asked him. "What are you thinking?!. We have a flight to catch by 12:00am!.". In a scolding tone.

"What?.". Anying stared at him like he was a mutated alien. "You booked the plane without asking if I'd go first?.".

xueCheng proudly puffed his chest and declared. "I'm tht great. Let's go!.".

Anying stared at him dumbstruck. But then he quickly sauntered out of the bed. And with leaps in his steps, he arrived in the bathroom in no time.

After bathing, he wanted to arrange for a few clothes to take along. But xueCheng said no that everyone would go shopping together as part of the schedule.

So he just accepted. But before he left, he kissed Hanze briefly on the lips with a whisper of a thank you before leaving with xueCheng who did not stop teasing him about his actions till they got into the car.

He stopped for a because actually.. hm. Well because... He got a call.

"Your ringtone is cool ". Anying said when the phone began vibrating with a music from all those popular stars playing.

Then he asked who was calling when xueCheng scrunched up his face after seeing the name. ." Ah who's calling?".

"Mr sparkle eyes.". He replied swiping the receive button after five good rings.

Anying was suprised. "You mean jimeng?.". He asked.

He thought that guy was on curfew, mourning his ' lover's ' disappearance.

"Yes. Him and Xiao Hua are waiting for us at I and xiajie's condo.". xueCheng informed before saying a hello.

Anying rolled his eye internally at the ownership term.

' rub it in my face'. He thought.

' how else? '. Cchini replied.

The AI should go die. * flips table *.

By the way, he didn't think about the rest of his friends coming along in this trip. You know, he thought maybe they wouldn't be emotionally stable to do so...

Because of the encounters they had with Hanze. But seeing now that they would partake... It made him wonder if xueCheng was as capable as he boast's to be.

Nope. He shook his head and waited for xueCheng to finish his call. He would ask the guy how he did it after that. Because he wasn't going to just believe some capshit.

The phone conversation entailed the following words....

xueCheng. "Hello". He said it calmly but was annoyed.

Jimeng. "Hello!.". And then... "Why didn't you pick up your phone on the first ring?!. Where are you?!!. We're getting bored to death here!.". He complained.

Anying restrained a free laughter as xueCheng shifted the phone away from his ear with an audible click of his tongue.

After a deep breath, he replied. "Be quiet. Are you a stranger in that house?. Don't you know the location of my game room?.".

Jimeng tsked. "I've checked and it's locked. Ha. Xiajie say's you're the cause so?... Get your ass down here!.". He shouted at the end.
