Chapter 6 (1/2)

A roirl; both were in a foreign country, studyingunder the same roof with only a thin wall between them

From time to tie hobbies of their respective professors and share insights about the difference in culture between Chinese and japanese

Occasionally, I would ask him questions related to my study, and he would patiently explain esoteric concepts in pathology and guide me on how to prepare the paper satisfactorily

So so from Professor Fuji's research on bacteria

Often, ould stand by the atch people fishi+ng in the lake while he would speak about the weather

Soainst the rails in our respective balconies and quietly watch the cherry trees, waiting theht

And soh so both of us could listen to love songs

Once in a while, he would bring an unexpected surprise for me

One day, when I opened the door to the sound of the doorbell, I saw no one outside the door except a pot of cactus and a birthday cake

Surprised, I picked up the cake, turned around and saw a note attached to the door, ” Girl, I will coht”

Inadvertently, h I still whispered to myself, ” I hate him”

Then I decided not to go to the laboratory, but stay at home and prepare a meal to celebrate my birthday

When I asked him how he kneas my birthday, he refused to answer

…… …

If such an as, it would be strange

But there wasn't the slightest spark between Ye Zhengchen and me in the last few months

No way! I don't like a person who can et all the tenderness as soon as he walks out of bed

And he didn't like pure girls like et married and be responsible for each other till death

But the fact that there was no love did not mean that the friendshi+p was pure There were still sos under the veneer of that friendshi+p

I cherished these pure feelings and nurtured it carefully, hoping that the friendshi+p would offer n land

I often thought, that if one day, when I a in a rocking chair in the balcony, I would have a smile in my faceI

I thanked God for letting me meet such a wonderful man at such a lonely time

One afternoon, while I was in class, Ye Zengchen suddenly called ency room

My mind becaht to the eency room in front of the medical department

There was a large abrasion on his right arm, flesh and blood mixed in a blur

Once I made sure that he didn't have a fracture and that there were no scars in any other place, I flopped down on the chair next to hi?”

” Don't worry”, he replied easily

This was no ordinary accident I looked at hiirlfriend and get beatn up?”

He shook his head helplessly, ”You really knoell!”

”Its not really true, is it?”

He looked at me silently

I had guessed correctly ”Whose girlfriend were you dallying with? How is it that they were so vicious?”

He sighed, then very mysteriously whispered to me, ” It was the triad Maybe the boss When he saith his woman in bed, he was furious A dozen people tried to beat me up Fortunately I ran fast and tem jumped from the second floor Otherwise, my life would be over

”Ohout in a cold sweat, ”I heard that the triad in japan is particularly horrifying , you must be very careful with theo”

”Yes…they said the next time they see me, they will cut me up in small pieces and feed me to the sharks”

”Lets call the police”

”The police cannot protect me for twenty four hours”

”Then what should we do?”

I was feeling scared and used the skirt to wipe the sweat for on my forehead

”You don't have to worry aboutplace, it will not b easy for us to ain”

He saw that I was really scared, and tried to comfort me

I was frightened, and couldn't help but try to show him the error of his ways, ”Brother, there as so many beautiful nurses here in the hospital You can always be with theet , ould your fa like my own mother

But he didn't seeing

” I am sorry”, a soft voice interruptedjapanese wo in japanese, ” Thank you, thank you so much ! My husband and family thank you sincerely”

Then she pulled out a four year old little boy from behind her and pushed him towards us

The little boy bowed politely, ”Thank you for saving ot injured”

Then, specifically in Chinese he said, ”Thank you”

Ye Zhengchen said,” Dont thankthe road Hold on to your mother's hand Will you remember?”

The little boy nodded

I froze in place for a long ti did I wake up from my trance

After chen two thousand tichen's medical expenses

I looked angrily at Ye Zhengchen grinning at me ”You fooled me!”
