My Ghost Lover Is Too Annoying

11

Straight Man;

The mobile phone lying on the solid wood table started vibrating.

Chen Ming was awakened, and the bright sunshine left him in a daze. He looked around for a while before getting out of bed to answer the call, scratching his messed-up hair impatiently.

He didn’t know who was calling, but said casually, “Hello?”

There came a girl’s roar, “Where are you, Chen Ming?” Being called by the full name and asked with anger, everyone would detect that something was wrong.

Their conversation startled Zhou Nan outside the house. He leaned curiously over the door frame and watched quitely, showing half his head.

“I’m at the florist, and I have just got up.” Chen Ming replied without any hurry. He asked casually, “What are you doing?”

“What am I doing? How dare you ask me?” The girl took a deep breath and was about to roar, “Do you remember what day today is? What about the date? Huh? What time is it? I’m at the place, and you?”

The sound became louder and louder. Chen Ming gradually took the phone away, as if the saliva would splash onto his face. At the same time, he tried to recall the date. After he glanced at the calendar on the wall,  he suddenly realized he was late.

“Oh, damn it, I forgot it.” His words that showed his negligence got him a scolding again, which made Zhou Nan feel numb on the scalp.

“Alas, alas, I got it. I’m coming.” With his head tilted, he held the phone under the shoulder, and hurried to put on his clothes. All these actions only took more than ten seconds. “I’ll arrive in ten minutes. See you later.”

“To see your girlfriend?”

“Hang!”

Zhou Nan was astounded–alright, it was normal for a sunny young man in his early twenties to have a girlfriend.

As soon as he stepped out of the store, Chen Ming was stopped by Zhou Nan, “Are you sure you will dress like this to go out?”

Having looked around and found that there was no one else, Chen Ming turned back and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Looking at his big shorts and flip-flops, Zhou Nan didn’t understand why he had to be so sloppy while having such a good look. He said helplessly, “If you don’t change your clothes, you’ll definitely be scolded by your girlfriend.”

Chen Ming looked down at himself and hesitated for a long while.

“I’m just going out to play. How comfortable it is! Mind your own business.” Although he was reluctant, he went back and changed his outfit. Finally he came out wearing sneakers and dark casual pants.

Zhou Nan felt that the dress was not bad. He thought he should follow to prevent Chen Ming from showing his male chauvinism.

A third wheel? Zhou Nan didn’t care, for the girl couldn’t see him anyway.

“When you see her later, don’t be too arrogant.” He thought Chen Ming was like the fearless dead pig in boiling water, so he hit the nail on the head, “Apologize immediately and then help her with her bag. The girl must be very hot after waiting so long for you on such a summer day. You’d better buy her some ice cream and cold drinks.”

Chen Ming put his phone on his ear and pretended to be calling, but he actually spoke to Zhou Nan, “Oh, you have so many strange ideas. I feel pitiful for girls when you have no girlfriend.”

“Cut the crap. Did you get it?”

“Alas, I got it. Just wait and see.”

When he arrived at the amusement park, Zhou Nan noticed a girl standing impatiently in the shade at the entrance. Apparently, she was carefully dressed up. Her white dress was clean and the sunlight filtered through the branches and fell on her body.

Chen Ming walked forward and said, “Oh my god, I’m tired out after running all the way.”

How dare you say tired?

Hearing what he said, the girl frowned, “You’re late for the date. Don’t you have anything to say?”

“Apologize!” Zhou Nan was really speechless about this guy’s memory.

Chen Ming listened to him and said in a sincere tone, “I’m sorry. It was my fault. Isn’t it ok?”

Isn’t it ok?

Why did you add “isn’t it ok” to your apology?

The girl flushed with anger. Zhou Nan turned his face to avoid watching the scene of the violence.

He couldn’t help but feel that it was a miracle that Chen Ming had a girlfriend.
