The Missing Wallet pt1

And it happened! It finally happened people! Qing lost his money! He lost all his money...

Qing: I only lost my wallet. I didn't lose ALL my money. Calm the hell down.

Me: Well, your money is on your wallet. You lost that wallet so technically you also lost all your money. Those are the damn rules.

Qing: (rolling his eyes) Whatever. I'm more worried about my cards and IDs in there. Shit, where did I put that wallet?

Qing woke up this morning not remembering where he put his wallet the night before. He is such a klutz with his things. Always losing stuffs. Tsk tsk.

Me: (lecturing tone) You are so clumsy with your things. Tsk tsk. What is wrong with you? You should be more careful with your stuffs, really.

Qing: (scoffing) I'm sorry...am I really receiving a lecture on being careful with my things from a guy who lost his whole backpack last month? Who lost his whole luggage when we were in Italy? Really? Should I really sit here for that lecture?

(You lost a whole luggage in Italy, Dayu ah?)

Thats not the whole story and there is a valid explanation for why it happened. And also, that is not the topic right now. The topic is Qing's missing wallet.

(Are you deflecting?)

Yes. Whatever.

Me: It's not a whole backpack. I mean, its only half full. Surely my wallet was not there because I usually put my wallet in my pants' pockets.

Qing: Whatever. I'm not gonna take this lecture from you. Not from you. Not after that fiasco in Italy.

Me: That was so last year. Let it go. We are talking about today. You lost your wallet.

Qing: And I am looking for it. Don't worry. I only have about 5 thousand cash there together with my cards and IDs. And your picture. Ugh! I love that picture of you I have in that wallet.

Me: (surprised) Oh, you carry my picture in your wallet?

Qing: (frowning) Yes. I do. Why?

Me: (eyes shifting) Nothing. I just find that...sweet of you to do so.

Qing: (eyes narrowing suspiciously) Why are you suddenly fidgety?

Me: (laughing uneasily) Fidgety? I am not fidgety...do you want any help looking for your wallet? I have time to help you.

Qing: You are changing the subject.

Me: I am not changing the subject! The subject is still your missing wallet.

Qing: No. The subject shifted from my wallet to your picture in my wallet. Tell me, do you have a picture of me in your wallet?

Do I have Qing's picture in my wallet?

Me: Of course!

Qing: (still suspicious) Show it to me.

Me: (blinking) Show you what?

Qing: My picture in your wallet.

Me: (chuckling uncomfortably) It is there! Why do you have to see it?

Qing: So I can see with my own two eyes that its there. (holding out his hand to me) Show me your wallet.

Me: Wow. You don't trust my word? I said its there.

(Is it really there, Dayu ah?)

Wow. You too? You are suspecting me of lying too? Wow...and you have been reading my diaries for years now. We have that relationship. Where is the love? Where is the trust? Goodness.
