0.5 metre distance

Later, he will need go home. After Mo Ka carefully tucked that coat hung in Chen Ge's room back into the box, he straightened up to stand up the packed bulging suitcase. He looked at the calendar hanging on the wall then went to the balcony and looked below, his foot kicking the railing. Don't know what Chen Ge is doing now, is he packing things well? Mo Ka felt that his recent thoughts when not paying attention will always drift onto Chen Ge. This is a bad symptom, secret love is a happy and painful thing and secret love holders crush targets will only leave pain. Maybe, this Chinese New Year he will bump into his own favourite girl and live happily ever after.

[T/N or maybe not at all Mo Ka]

Okay, then I only have to give him blessings. Mo Ka thought like this but his more realistic ideas are: That’s nonsense! Its best if that woman never appears.

Forget it, why think about him, he's not a highly respected noble. Still go downstairs to buy some food to take home for mum lest she will inconsequentially say that I never brought her anything.

Mo Ka compared the delicious snacks that was all swept by him, he returned holding large bags. He happened to catch the elevator, he breathed and saw Chen Ge walking over. Mo Ka took advantage of the moment the elevator doors were shutting to jump out: "I'm sorry, you can go first."

Chen Ge coldly looked at Mo Ka.

"What are you looking at, the elevator was overweight. Do you think I wanted to wait for you to go together."

"I didn't say anything."

Mo Ka rather regretted his self-exposure just now, he acted in a fit of pique[1] stuffing all the bags into Chen Ge's hands: "Really unemotional/inhumane. You see me large bags yet you don't say you will help me carry." It seems this Mo Ka is also more and more daring.

[1] pique is the feeling of annoyance

Chen Ge did not reject, helping Mo Ka carry things. The lift slowly came down, Mo Ka watched the digital screen's numbers reducing: "Have you packed your things yet?"

"Nope."

"Then when are you planning to pack?"

"It seems like it's none of you business."

"Can't I ask."

"You can't"

The elevator door opened, Mo Ka twitched his mouth walking into the elevator. The elevator's wall lights out their 0.5 metres distance.

"Remembered pack your things, like a charger ah, these things are the most easy to forget. After packing, you have to check again and determine the things you need are there then you need to tidy the room. Before you go you need to close the window even if you live on the 19th floor, there will be dust."

Chen Ge watched Mo Ka

The elevator number almost reached 18, Chen Ge went out.

Mo Ka's hand clasp the elevator: "Then, then i'll go up first."

"Where are you going?"

"Oh yeah, my things are still in your hands?" Mo Ka followed him out of the elevator

"Then i'll really go up. Yeh, erm goodbye."

Mo Ka was going to turn around away to go from the staircase but was dragged back by Chen Ge's hand and dragged into the room: "Who is saying goodbye to you."

"What are you doing?"

"Packing things."

"Don't you have limbs yourself, why do I need to help you pack." Mo Ka said very angrily but the bags in his hands had already been put down, he pulled up his sleeves: "I'm telling you, I agree to help you pack for the sake of the new year only." Mo Ka really is a person who is stubborn and reluctant to admit mistakes or defeats.

"In the time you have rattled on here, (you could have) already packed a lot."

"You still murmur at everything[2] I'm here tidying things up. What are you doing."

[2]嫌东嫌西 xian2 dong1 xian2 xi1 saying that he's being picky

"Watching you tidy."

"Hey hey." In spite of Mo Ka rather unconvinced, he still carefully helped Chen Ge tidy things. Occasionally, asked about the things he wanted to bring and the things he didn't want to bring.

Chen age turned on the TV, sat on the sofa. This laid back attitude made Mo Ka eye roll over and over again. WTF, Lao Zi is here busy working so hard, (whilst) he is easily watching TV there using his(MK) weakness of him (MK)liking him(CG), really cunning,

"Chen Ge, when are you going?"

"The day after tomorrow ba, going abroad."

Mo Ka paused, abroad? So far ah: "Everybody is almost gone today, aren't you very bored."

"This you need not to worry."

"Who is worried, it's the best to bore you to death."

Chen Ge's things are not many, in a while it was done/finished by Mo Ka: "Things are packed."

"En."

Mo Ka stood in the living room not moving, Chen Ge turned his head to see Mo Ka staring at him: "You're revealing kind of reluctant expression again."

"I am not."

"You can't bear to let me go?"

"I said I am not. Okay, only a little. After all, I have known you for so long, like I would also miss Hao Shuai." Mo Ka lied. He was afraid Chen Ge would see through his feelings, he was afraid Chen Ge would hate him.

Chen Ge stood up walking to Mo Ka, reach out to lift Mo Kia's chin: "Then you also use this expression to look at him?"

Mo Ka rapidly disregarded with his head[3]: "Don't make fun of me, I cannot take  jokes like, like the kiss last time. Although, I know this is a goodnight kiss between friends, I am not a foreigner." Mo Ka already does not know what he is talking about.

[3]撇开头 撇开 means to disregard or leave aside (honestly I have no clue how to phrase it)

"Think what you want." Chen Ge emotionless.

What? Say that you're angry (and you're actually) angry. It should be him being capricious.[4] Mo Ka pulled out his phone to look at the time: "Do you want to send me."

[T/N asking him like he has choice ]

[4] capricious is suddenly or unexpectedly changing mood or behaviour

"Don't want to."

"It's almost the New year, you collect your young master temper. I even helped you pack and you can't even send me. Wait, I'm going up to move my luggage down." Mo Ka already decided by himself. Mo Ka was a bit depressed when he imagined Chen Ge's lonely look in the next two days. Leaving a person whom he likes alone is a very difficult thing.

Standing downstairs, Mo Ka looked at the front waiting for taxi. After all, holding a big box of luggage on a crowded bus is not convenient. Both of them did not speak, Mo Ka does not know what he should say in the next scene. That reluctant to part feeling has clearly overflowed from the bottom of his heart, but his face still had the A's if nothing had happened appearance, pretending is a painful thing, once uncareful it will completely divulge.

The taxi stopped in front of Mo Ka, Mo Ka put his luggage in the back of the car, he deeply glanced at Chen Ge once, opening his mouth thinking what to say but only felt a dry throat. Finally, he still drilled himself into the car. After telling the driver the address, he started to brew the shared heartbroken feeling, Chen Ge also followed to sit in the car.

"What are you doing."

[T/N in the original text it was not a question so I didn't put question mark]

"Na[5] since I have nothing to do today and tomorrow, go to your house ba." These words came out from Chen Ge's mouth, seem dull like general everyday terms.

[5] 呐 is an expression

But to Mo Ka it's not completely different, his mind was blank at first, immediately his mind was unable to think calmly, then immediately lost control of his mind: "What! Why should I let you go to my house."

"It's decided."

"What are you blindly deciding on your own, are you listening to me!! Hey!"

The car already started, whatever Mo Ka says is too late. He secretly put the phone to his back to send a message to Mother Gong Yung:

"Mom, What are you doing?"

"Playing mahjong."

"Hurry, quickly go home and tidy the rooms."

"No time."

"It's really very, very urgent."

At last, a message like a stone dropped into the sea,with no correspondence.

Chen Ge stared at Mo Ka's anxious face: "I say, you don't want me to go Mo Ka?"

Very, very cunning! He obviously knows I like hearing him call my name, he is surely deliberately undermine the moral of an army. Mo Ka tightly grabbed his own pants, to steady himself. For a long time, Mo Ka gritted his teeth to disregard with his head to one side: "Then you can't shuffle my things."

He had not psychological preparation whatsoever, almost at other people's house, this guy is really casual. Mo Ka secretly glance at Chen Ge next to him. His good looking face had no expression at all, cannot guess what on earth he is thinking about. Right, if he really could read his mind, he wouldn't need to work so hard. In fact, being friends compared to what Mo Ka imagines is tiring.

If he does not speak at all, then when will Chen Ge notice his own (Mo Ka) feelings towards him?

"Oh right, when you went out did you lock your door?"

"It seems I haven't."

"What is it seems, you should be alert with your own property."
