Even if you are a boy, I will still love you.

Chapter 18: The Joy and Panic on Christmas Night

'Someone is looking for me, I see.' It was that voice that was so familiar to Mai Ding. Mai Ding turned and he saw An Ziyan leaning on the wall.

'Are you my imagination?' Mai Ding couldn't be sure, but standing before him was indeed his An Ziyan.

'You are really an idiot.'

Mai Ding ran to An Ziyan and pounced on him. 'Why are you here? Aren't you with your family? How is it possible that you are here? When did you arrive? Did you wait long? How did you know I would come back to the dorm?' Mai Ding had so many questions. He had so many thoughts and feelings that he wanted to share: his shock, his gratitude, how touched he felt; all these emotions, Mai Ding wanted to express to An Ziyan but words somehow failed him.

'Stop being so noisy.'AnZiyan said, and he grabbed Mai Ding's hand. 'Come let's go celebrate Christmas together.'

Mai Ding nodded and held onto An Ziyan's hands tightly, afraid that this was just a dream.

AnZiyan brought Mai Ding to his house. And even though the house wasn't decorated for the season, Mai Ding was more than satisfied. He remembered the gift he had bought and quickly took it out from his bag. 'Here. I bought this for you.'

AnZiyan frowned. 'What's this? A rubbish bin?'

'What rubbish bin! You really have no taste.' He ran off to turn off the lights and came back to turn the lamp he had bought on. Immediately the dark room was filled with stars, as if the two of them were out in the open on a starlit night. 'Don't you think it's really pretty?'

'Aren't you actually buying this for yourself?'

'You mean you don't like it? You are such an idiot. Can't you say something nice when someone gives you a present?'

'Please turn your rubbish bin off. It's beginning to hurt my eyes.'

'I told you it's not a rubbish bin. It's a star lamp.'Mai Ding was slowly getting irritated by the fact that his present was not appreciated. But in the end, he decided to turn it off and went to turn the room lights on instead.

'Go to the guest room and bring the phone here for me.' AnZiyan instructed.

'I'm not your housemaid anymore.' But he still spinelessly obeyed. In his mind he was wondering why the phone would be in the guest room. When he opened the door to the guest room, the room was pitch black. He felt for the switch which was on the wall and when he finally turned on the lights, he was dumbstruck. It looked as if he had walked into a mini theatre. There was a large projection screen and below that was a DVD player. Opposite the screen was a sofa and nearby were several box shelves. And in each box shelf, there were many DVDs all arranged according to the country of origin and year of production. Mai Ding randomly picked one out and realised that these movies were all hisfavourite. He felt bad suddenly. Indeed his star lamp paled in comparison to what An Ziyan had done. He wanted to shout out loud, pull his hair out, bite something. Obviously this must be a dream!

Mai Ding clumsily trotted back downstairs and collapsed next to An Ziyan. 'I knew it. You can take off that false mask you wear: you are actually Santa Claus!'

'You think that by comparing me to a fat old man who wears a red suit, it'll make me happy?'

'Then you must be James Bond.'

'Stop wasting time and go make dinner.' AnZiyan said, pushing Mai Ding off him.

'I'm so happy beyond words. I can't control how I feel.' For once in his life, he felt that there was nothing to complain. All he could do was just smile. 'AnZiyan, this is the best present I've ever received in my life. Thank you so much.' And after saying that, he went straight to the kitchen to start preparing for dinner. 'You sure you don't need to be with your family?' Mai Ding asked from the kitchen.

'Mmm.' An Ziyan grunted in response.

'Am I just being too selfish? I already have you by my side all this while. Now that it's Christmas I still want you here. In my current state, I just can't help but want more. It's really a sin but what I am afraid of is that one day you will hate me for this.' Mai Ding was waiting for An Ziyan's response.

AnZiyan came up to him from behind. 'It's ok. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. You can have anything you want, including me.' And after saying that, he turned the fire on the stove off and proceeded to hug Mai Ding tightly. Seductively, he pulled Mai Ding towards the sofa.

Mai Ding tried to push An Ziyan aside. 'What are you doing? I have dinner to prepare.'

'Don't you want me?'

'You horny bastard. I didn't mean this kind of "want". Can't we stay a little more pure this Christmas?' AnZiyan sat on the sofa and pulled Mai Ding to himself. He then proceeded to strip Mai Ding but Mai Ding resisted. 'What are you doing?'

'Opening my Christmas present.' AnZiyan said cheekily and pushed Mai Ding's hands aside and proceeded to take off every bit of Mai Ding's clothing. In no time, Mai Ding was in An Ziyan's embrace as naked as the day he was born. AnZiyan was kissing him all over and since it was already at this stage, Mai Ding could no longer do anything to stop it.

AnZiyan was caressing his back and even though that wasn't his sensitive regions, it still made Mai Ding tremble a little. Mai Ding himself was caressing An Ziyan unknowingly. An Ziyan responded by pushing his finger into Mai Ding's mouth and Mai Ding used his tongue to lick it all around and once it was all wet, An Ziyan stuck his finger slowly into Mai Ding's behind.

Mai Ding couldn't control his desires any longer. He moaned softly in ecstasy, 'Ah.. I need you in me.'

AnZiyan laid Mai Ding on the sofa horizontally. Slowly, he undid his own pants and was about to enter Mai Ding. Everything seemed to be going just fine and dandy, but the two boys, in the heat of their passion, failed to realise that someone was about to enter the house.

And while they were in the midst of an extremely intimate act, a woman was standing at the doorway. 'What the fuck are you guys doing?' she roared.

Mai Ding was shocked beyond words. He looked up and he saw a tall lady who was about twenty years of age. She looked rather fashionable but her metallic glare was aimed at a very naked Mai Ding.

Mai Ding was wondering who this person could be. Was she Bai Xiaosi? Was she another of An Ziyan's old flame?

'I give you guys one minute to put some clothes on!' she barked and left, slamming the door behind her.

Mai Ding was affected by the turn of events. He pushed An Ziyan aside and quickly tried to find his clothes to put it on. AnZiyan, on the other hand, had to only put on his pants. He didn't look as if he was that affected.

'Who is she?'

'My elder sister.'AnZiyan said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders. Deep inside, however, he was somewhat irritated that his sister had to interrupt him.

After finding out that the lady was actually An Ziyan's elder sister, Mai Ding face turned pale. Elder sister? Why didn't he say that he had an elder sister? His heart was pounding furiously. 'What should we do now?' he asked An Ziyan. He sounded a little desperate. 'It's all your fault. Now your sister has found out. Did you see her face? She looked as if she could kill someone. What should I do? I think I'd better leave.'

Before An Ziyan could even say anything, Mai Ding opened the window and was about to do what he did when he was learning how to drive a car.

And jump he did. But the minute he jumped out, he was caught by An Ziyan's sister (An Su). 'Running away? You're not going to be let off so easily.'
