True Love Waits

Sheffield fished out his phone and called Joshua. "Dude, when do you get off work? Wait, in fact, why not just skip work today? I have a really expensive bottle of wine. Care to join me for a drink?" If this were in the past, Joshua would have dismissed him and told him off in an instant. However, knowing that his friend was having a bad mood, he agreed, "Okay. Where shall we meet?" "In my apartment. We can sleep after we're drunk and we can continue to drink after waking up!"

"Wait! What? Do you want to drink yourself to an early grave?" While speaking with Sheffield on the phone, Joshua told his colleague that he was leaving and then went to change his clothes.

"Of course not! The world is such a beautiful place. Why would I possibly want to die?" 'Even if I wanted to die, I wouldn't choose to drink myself to death. I would only die from having excessive sex with Evelyn,' he thought to himself.

"What do you want to eat? I'll bring some food to your place."

"Don't bother. We can just get food delivered to us!"

"Will I be lucky enough to have dinner cooked by Chef Tang?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I only cook for my woman!"

Joshua cleared his throat and imitated a woman's voice. "Chef Tang, I can be your woman tonight."

"Dude, that's not even funny!" Sheffield got goosebumps from Joshua's words. Then he hung up the phone on Joshua.

Pulling his face away from the phone, Joshua gasped in shock. 'That man doesn't have a romantic bone in his body. How did Evelyn even fall in love with him?' he wondered.

When Sheffield twisted the car keys into ignition, his phone rang again. He assumed it was Joshua and was about to scold him, but when he saw the caller ID, he smiled. Coincidentally, it was another friend of his. "Colonel Li, long time no see. How have you been?"

"Cut the crap! I'm in Y City now!" Gifford had just returned from his mission. His body was covered in mud with weeds sticking out of his mouth. Sitting on a rock and looking at the wasteland in front of him, he felt bored out of his mind.

"What a coincidence! I'm in Y City too," Sheffield said while tapping the steering wheel.

Gifford rolled his eyes and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow morning. That means, you and Joshua are spending the night with me!"

"No problem! I don't even mind sleeping with you!"

"Even after so long, you're still as shameless as ever. I swear if you were standing in front of me, I would have punched you in the face already!" Sheffield giggled and said, "Come on! Do it!"

"Shut up, you moron!" Gifford hung up the phone while cursing him.
