The Substitute

26

Yibo was frustrated. He even forgot about Mianmian being on the floor, that he too left the house. Everyone else just minded their business.

Mianmian was so angry that she was livid. She took out her phone and called a number. After four rings, the phone was picked up

"You call so much. If I didn't know better, I would think you secretly love me," the other person spoke sarcastically

"Shut up! You have to do it tomorrow! I don't care how, but you need to do it. I need zhan out of my life. I  am more than convinced that this curse is a whole lie! Otherwise, why isn't he dying?" Mianmian went on, and on while the othe person just put the phone down and continued doing what he was doing, because from the small interaction he had shared with mianmian, he knew she wouldn't be finishing anytime soon.

The following day, zhan woke up with a headache. His phone was ringing, and it wouldn't stop no matter how hard he tried to ignore it.

He finally gave up, and with the hand massaging his temples, the other picked up.

"What is it?" He asked without looking who it was.

"Zhanzhan," he heard the annoying voice  he once liked, but now it was nothing but an earsore.

"What do you want?" He asked, ready to drop the call.

"I wanna see you?" Xue Yang said

"Who told you I wanted to see you?" Zhan asked back

"I have something to tell and give to you. I know you would want it, " Xue Yang said

"Isn't  Liying keeping tabs on you. Aren't you afraid she would find out and get mad?" Zhan mocked

"Forget about her. Can you come meet at our usual restaurant." Xue Yang said, losing his patience

"I don't know what you are up to. I also don't care. Stop calling me!" Zhan said and hanged up

"Stupid weasel ruined my morning and sleep," zhan thought as he got up, heading to the bathroom.

It took a while, yet his phone kept ringing.
