159 The show is on 2 (1/2)
A doctor come to the garage to treat me and after two days'rest, I feel my body has recovered.
This afternoon, I'm in the gym practicing boxing with Silo. Now I'm starting to teach him some kungfu. Silo is very clever and quick to learn. He can practice with me for a while if I don't strike hard.
”Little 5, Papa 8 wants to see you!”
The gym door opens. Tiger shouts at me at the door. I sweep Silo down at my feet and look at him lying on the ground breathing. ”Practice for another hour.”
Then I pull a towel, wiping my sweat and walking towards the door.
”Papa 8 is back?”
”Yes, he's waiting for you.”
Papa 8 has left here for almost a week. He sees me still in the prvious office this time. He looks in good spirits.
Seeing me come in, he asks me to sit down, and then suddenly asking me a strange question: ”Little 5, how do you know Sophie? You offended her?”
I'm stunned: ”No, I didn't!”
Then I go over what happened at the police station that day to him. He just laughs after listening. I feel a little strange: ”Is there any problem?”
”Nothing.” He shakes his head. ”She's just a playful little girl. Only this little girl has a very powerful father. Now we have some cooperation with her father. But it seems that she misunderstood you last time, and you left some impression to her. I met her last night and she asked me about you. Well, she's only a child. I'm going to meet the Hell Angels tonight. You go with me, and then you can apologize to her. She's Sorin's daughter, and I don't want to interfere with our cooperation because of unnecessary things. Do you understand? As a result, our relationship is in the honeymoon period recently.
”OK, no problem!”
I don't ask what business we are corporating with Hell Angels. I know what should ask and what should not.
”Well, I always want to take you with me. You are a young man I like. Now that you are own person too, I will train you more. Let's go to a party together in the evening. I'll introduce you to some people. Some of them will probably be dealing with you in the future.” He looks at me with a smile and says, ”You look very good. By the way, do you have the right dress?”
I shake my head.
In the afternoon, Papa 8 ask to send me a suite of suit.
I looked at it and feel a little moved in my heart. The brand of this suit is the same as the first suit Nanny bought for me before. Coincidentally, even the style and color are the same. I change into this suit in my room and look at myself in the mirror.
The last time I dressed like this, when I was still at home with Nanny. Looking at myself in the mirror, it seems that I have returned to the old time. It was the warmest and most comfortable period of my life.
Now I still wear the same clothes. I am still me. Face is still the same face, but looking at the person in the mirror, I can't help sighing with all sorts of feeling.
I rub my cheeks and smile bitterly at myself in the mirror. I feel helpless, more of a complex mood that could not be said.
My eyes are no longer the same as previous Little 5. There're are a little more fierces, a little vicissitudes, a little killing sharpness inside. I've met so many things in recent months.
I feel a little tight. Maybe I've been exercising a lot lately and my body is a little stronger than I was.
Two buttons are unfastened at the top of my shirt. Because I don't have the habit of wearing a tie. A little bit of a strong chest is revealed, and a little thing is hanging on my chest with a silver chain: the ring!
Actually, since I came to Canada, I have thought a lot about this ring. The more I think about it, the more I feel that I have encountered so many troubles because of a variety of relations with this ring! My mind is so complicated about this ring that I even have a little more resistance to use it. I don't want and avoid using this ring again.
On the one hand, I seem to have a strange baby, which brings me all kinds of good luck. But on the other hand, it always seems to bring me all kinds of trouble!
Even if it weren't for this ring, I might have been living a quiet and peaceful life with DIdi now.
DIdi, sigh…
