Chapter 25.7: Separation does not mean pain

When he was sending He He back to the hospital, he asked He He: “Are you adapting to staying over there?” This is because He He and his mother did not like the climate in B City. Staying over there, they will get chapped lips after only several days. They will also often get nosebleed. So for many years, He He had been staying over here with his mother, rather than spending time beside her own mother.

He He said: “Ah, still trying to adapt to the living habit over there.”

“When is your vacation ending?”

He He was silent for a moment and then she choose her words carefully before whispering: “At the end of my vacation, Cen s.h.i.+ would also end his job there. He had asked me if I would go back with him.”

Zheng Xie avoided a car, the car swerved a little. He was silent.

He He continued and said: “He is good to me. And in that city, I had lived there for four years. I really like it.”

Zheng Xie could not remember later if he had said something. Did he give her his blessing or advised her to still seriously consider it? Did he actually say something or not? Or he just kept silent? He can’t even remember.

Zheng Xie groggily and incoherent think, unknowingly when he fell asleep. His sleep has always been regular, usually not like this.

It is still weekend the next day. At daybreak, he was awakened by the sound of the phone vibration.

Yesterday, he went to the cemetery and was afraid that the ringtone will disturb the dead soul. So he turn off the cell phone ring tones. He had forgotten to turn it back on.

The call came from his a.s.sistant. “I have parked your car in the company. Did you know that your scene yesterday were photographed by a society gossip reporter? You almost got onto the news. I tried many soft and hard way, even your dad nearly had to step out before we could settle it. Big brother, next time you want to act cool, please change the field?”

Zheng Xie said: “Yesterday, I had something urgent to attend to.”

His a.s.sistant said: “I know. He He. They say, only a small knock, you already get so nervous. As long as it is something related to He He, you will get all messed up.”

Zheng Xie kept quiet.

The a.s.sistant added: “He He left early this morning with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend had something to do at noon. Both of them look fine. He He called you but you did not answer. Guess you had not woken up yet, so told me to pa.s.s the message to you. You rarely sleep late, you go and continue your sleep.”

Zheng Xie checked the phone records. There were two missed calls from He He. It is very early, he did not hear. And there is a text message from He He informing him that they are leaving.

He switched back the phone ringing tone. He put the phone aside and lay down again.

He was woken up again by the phone. This time it is actually the long lost yang Wei Qi. She said: “I am back. When do we meet?”

Zheng Xie was momentary stunned. He said: “Tomorrow night.”
