Chapter 22 (1/2)

The end of the weekend see Chen and I have also ended contact I've been working for three days and only then did I got a call fro Chen He simply calledelse I still insisted and gave hih but nobody answered, and one went through with us giving hurried greetings to each other, he's still able to eat rice (T/N: Itdeliberately to show people the state of things)

Situ Mo would often taunt ,”Why does your boyfriend seems to be there but not there, and seems to be hidden but also visible ah”

I cursed her saying her husband and the female scientist in the laboratory would

Earlya 'case' which was the design on the box for a certain brand of blow dryer It's actually very easy, put a photo of the product, put the logo of the brand, put a brief info regarding the product's function, put the lines needed for promotion, and it's over I don't like this kind of job but I like my co-workers here, because I'm someone who can't handle complex human relationshi+ps, and my two co-workers, Fu Pei and Situ Mo, are both relatively simple people

But I was exceptionally irritable at work today, I hit the table and told Situ Mo ”What's the point in living like this, doing these pointless things every day, I can't see any future”

Situ Mo fished out a lollipop fro you ain”

Don't say such childish words again But day after day, we are allin the dark, no one knohat our every footfall would step on, or what kind of future it would take us

I said solemnly, ”I ate your son's candy, I'll dedicate my body and soul to him, okay”

Situ Mo said, ”Get lost you pedophile”

Speaking of pedophilia, I can't help but think of Su Rui, he called n? Empty Business? Miserable The final conclusion was that he was lacking a h his chaotic life with zero inspirations, and under his considerations, I vaguely think I was probably 'that' muse

I said I reconciled with Jiang Chen He said, ”It is said that in the great affairs of the world under the heavens, that which is long dividedunited must divide”

(T/N: This quote originated frodon power, Shu, against another, Wei, by colluding with the third sovereign power, Wu, wherein Shu and Wu would often breach their agreements in the then China of 220-280 Now, it is used to describe how things are constantly changing)

I said, ”How about I introduce you to a possible girlfriend? I guarantee that she is more mature, stylish, and beautiful than I am, and will satisfy all your fantasies of a love between an older wo for you only proves that I don't want someone mature, stylish, and beautiful”

I felt unbearably angry so I just hung up the phone, holdingDoctor Su a call to rat him out This 'tell one's parent to sue the teacher' behavior is really sharohen you break a precept

But I didn't think that just because I didn't do it, doesn't ot a call from Doctor Su around lunch tier brother no longer thinks about drinking tea and eating rice because ofChen and directly tell him that I was a fickle woman, I would have to carefully think of a way to fix it In the end, she toldChen was just a joke da the ability to function fro or an obsession about a certain thing to the point of neglecting basic necessities)

I gave Su Rui a call, he said he was still cocooned in his blanket, also, a girl's voice and laughter went through the phone, ”Little buddy, your jie jie asked me to talk to you”

He said, ”Who is your little buddy, what do I have to talk to you about?”

The completely aard 17-18 year old tone of his voice was really cute

I said, ”Okay then, forget about it, just don't let the grown-ups worry for you, bye”

I was done talking, about to hang up the phone when he let out a shout that ain!”

Why wouldn't I dare hang up, I fear nothing in heaven or earth, besides Jiang Chen's phone call which I dare not hung up

Two seconds later, Su Rui roared and yelled, ”Chen Xiaoxi, you are too much, I really like you”

I said, ”Thanks, but I already like someone else”

He said, ”You always like only him, only one person, don't you feel that your life is very boring?”

I said, ”A little bit, so I advise you to quickly go out and like a few more”

Su Rui furiously threw his phone, breaking it He unexpectedly re, andafter I knock off work When I caht, I felt that I was so stupid before — he's busy while I'm the one who's free, and I still had to wait for hi with me!

When I got to the hospital, it was already past 6 o’clock, I couldn’t find Jiang Chen everywhere, so I gave him a call, “Where are you?”

”Hospital”

”Where in the hospital?”

”In a ward, are you here?”

”En Which floor? Which rooo find you”

”No need Just go to the lobby and wait for o downstairs to find you”

I picked a conspicuous place a the many rows of benches in the lobby and sat down, even at this hour, there were still a lot of people sitting, standing up, walking back and forth all around the lobby, their faces looked more or less worried But I was too busy to observe thele entrance I don't knohat's wrong withhim, like back in our student days, every ti with my classmates, my heart would secretly skip a beat

”What are you doing?” So forward, craning my head to look at the corridors, I was laxed, so when I was poked, I almost face-planted on the floor but the person heldhelplessly atunsteadily?”

I looked cluelessly at hi?”

He pointed at the staircase behind me, ”I came down from upstairs”

I chuckled, skipped over to his side, held unto his ar you out for a meal”

He said, ”What are you so happy about?”

I said, ”I'm just happy to see you”

He gave lance, like a joke and also like a request, he said, ”If you’re happy, then come here every day”

I nodded frenetically, ”I think that you're so busy, in the future, I'll just frequently come here to keep you company okay”
