Winter break was short to begin with so after bustling about and getting married, there wasn't much time left to enjoy their vacation. Mai Ding was upset, so upset that wrinkles formed on his little face. They didn't even go on their honeymoon yet! Of course, they could always ask for a leave, but Mai Ding was about to become a member of the education committee for the next semester. An Ziyan finally helped him cheat, and even though he had always hoped this would happen, Mai Ding was still against this type of behaviour. However, who on earth doesn't understand the concept of taking something for free?

Behind An Ziyan, Mai Ding paced back and forth with his hands behind him and sighed continuously. However, this didn't affect An Ziyan's concentration as he played the piano. Mai Ding stole a glance at An Ziyan. Perhaps the only time An Ziyan wasn't an evil person was when he played the piano. When he saw that An Ziyan was ignoring him, he put his back to An Ziyan's back and moved around back and forth. Only then did An Ziyan stop.

"An Ziyan, do you think I should choose to be on the education committee or should I choose to go on our honeymoon?"

"Education committee."

"Wow, do you have to make it so obvious that you don't want to go on a honeymoon with me? Now that the wedding is over, you feel that I completely belong to you now, right? In your dreams! If you're not good to me, I can always go back on my words. What kind of a place is the Maldives? I wonder about it even in my dreams! How could you be so heartless? We only just got married you know?"

Towards Mai Ding's accusations, An Ziyan only shrugged: "Then go to the Maldives."

Mai Ding's face changed and he looked distressed: "How can I give up my studies just for a moment of fun? I worked so hard last semester just to get on the education committee! If I go, then I'll miss this opportunity! It's something I would regret for the rest of my life. Even in my dreams, I think about getting on the committee and making some contribution to my motherland. How could you be so heartless? We only just got married you know?"

An Ziyan patted the spot next to him: "Come here, let's sit down and discuss the situation."

"Let's not. I have hemorrhoids on my butt so I can't sit down."

"Even if you have a tumor on your butt, you will sit."

Mai Ding sat down delicately. In his heart he wondered why he was still afraid of An Ziyan now that they were married. There was no reason why he should be afraid! After thinking it through, he gathered up his courage. But when he looked at An Ziyan's face again, his courage dissipated. Mai Ding only dared to pull some secret tricks and prank An Ziyan one in a while. But when it came to face-to-face conflicts, Mai Ding knew very clearly that whether it was brains or brawns, he was no match for An Ziyan. Mai Ding accepted these facts.

"Look at that face of yours. You want to be on the committee? You want to contribute to our motherland? If you disappear from this country, that would be your greatest contribution."

"But I..."

"No 'but's. Why are you even talking so much this early in the morning."

"But I'm conflicted! I want to go to both. Are you saying that you've never felt the pain of wanting two things, but only being allowed to choose one?"

"Why the hell are you so conflicted? Just get on the committee first, then go to the Maldives."

"That's right, why didn't I think of that?" Mai Ding suddenly felt as if his mind was clear from a murky darkness.
