Jay walked in and taught Zayne patiently. "This is the sterilizer, this is the dishwasher, coffee machine, juicer..." Then explained their functions to Zayne.
Zayne looked speechlessly at Jay, complaining," Brother Jay, if you have the time to explain their functions to me, why don't you just operate them and cook us a meal instead?"
Jay sneered. "If I teach you, then I will never have to d o it again."
Zayne scratched the back of his head and let out a burst of annoying laughter. "But I can't remember a single thing you taught me."
Jay's complexion darkened instantly. "Are you an idiot?"
Zayne protested loudly, "The brain of a straight-A student like you has always worked differently from ours. You can pick up something after taking just one look at it but we need to look at it over and over again. And when we finally memorize it, it will only take us seconds to forget it. Do you even understand the pain that we straight-D students go through?"
He then put on a posture that seemed to say, 'I am a straight-D student. I don't know how to do this, so
what can you do?’ and stared arrogantly at Jay.
Jay's thin and charming lips drew into a mesmerizing smile. "I don't believe I can't fix an unruly man like you."
Zayne pushed his luck by shaking his legs and crossing his arms, staring at Jay in a calm and unruffled manner. "You think you can impose such unfair conditions on me just because Angeline is on your side?"
Jay's dull eyes gleamed brightly while his shrewdness as a businessman glowed brilliantly when he said, "If that's the case, let's go dutch then."
"What do you mean?"
"Pay me rent and half of the utility bill. Our daily necessities will be separated as well. We also happen t o have two kitchens in our house. You can choose either one of the kitchens, how’s that?" Jay said.
Zayne thought for a while. At least he could do half the amount of housework he was assigned with this way, hence he nodded in agreement.
Jay reminded him, "I suggest that you learn how to prepare meals for pregnant ladies and new mothers or your son will be born short and stout just like you."
