Chapter 27.2: A quiet life

Weekend. Zheng Xie was reading the newspaper while Yang Wei Qi was cooking. She occasionally come over to talk to him.

Zheng Xie have been very quiet and only occasionally cough.

Yang Wei Qi deliver water to him and touched his forehead. “It seems like the fever from the last time when you are sick has not fully recovered. Just a little but seems to have increased a little. This is just not going to do….”

“When I was younger, there was one year where I had caught the flu for a whole winter. Whatever drugs I took did not help. In fact, I rarely caught flu. I have not fallen ill for a long time.” He smell the gla.s.s of water and then pushed it away while frowning. “I do not want sesame oil and vinegar.”

“Drink this to cure your cough. You also refuse to take medicine on time.” She coax him like coaxing a child.

Zheng Xie said: “Is the food that you are cooking about to be burned?”

“Ah!” and she hurried into the kitchen. Zheng Xie took the opportunity to drain the cup of water.

After dinner, Zheng Xie had a habit of taking a walk. Yang Wei Qi accompanied him.

It is cold outside. Both of them were not warmly dressed. Zheng Xie put his hand into the pockets. Yang Wei Qi do not have any pockets, so also put her hand into his pocket.

Zheng Xie imperceptibly paused, and then grip her cold fingers into his palm.

Yang Wei Qi asked him: “Your birthday is in a few day time. Have you decided on how you want to celebrate?”

“I do not celebrate birthday.” Zheng Xie turned and saw Yang Wei Qi’s slightly disappointed face, put on a soft tone and said: “My father always stressed that birthday is mother’s bitter day. He opposed extravagant birthday. When my mother was still alive, on the day, my father and I will give her gifts. As for the recent years….. On my birthday, I just have a bowl of pork trotter noodles.”

“Eat pig trotter noddle on birthday? Is there such custom?”

“Is there not? He He always say that on birthday must eat pig trotter noddle, or else…..” Zheng Xie said and then paused for a while.

Yang Wei Qi paused, smiled and then said: “This year, you would not get He He to stewed pork trotter for you. You will not accustomed to it.”

“You come and cook it.” Zheng Xie vaguely said.

Where Zheng Xie live, there is a park located just outside. There is some folk art groups putting up a show currently. Yang Wei Qi proposed that go and check it out.

Zheng Xie does not like such excitement. So when Yang Wei Qi asked if he was thirsty, he volunteered to buy drinks.

After buying the drinks, Zheng Xie pa.s.sed a little park called ‘Cat Paradise’. At the park, cats’ lovers will gather together. You can also see cat-shaped sculpture and at times, some rare species cat show. Cat-related toys and dolls are available for sale here. Short-term foster care are also available.

He was able to remember so clearly because Xiao He He tries to cure his ailurophobe by dragging him. The result is him not abiding and he walked away halfway. He He was so angry to the extent that she ignored him for several days.

Zheng Xie pacing out was broken when a woman holding a car hurried past him. He could not help but turn back to take a look.

Perhaps it is his illusion. The cat in the arms of the woman seems very familiar.

When Zheng Xie turned back, the cat also turned around to look at Zheng Xie. When the cat saw him, it meowed loudly.

The cat owners immediately turn back and looked at him. A little surprised at first, she then gave him a smile: “h.e.l.lo, Brother Zheng.”

Zheng Xie recognized her. It is the bridesmaid friend of Su Ren Ran and He He.

“h.e.l.lo, Ms Ding.” He politely say h.e.l.lo, and then look at the cat in her arms.
