Chapter 25 (1/2)

Fu Pei was in his office, venting out his spleen, the reason being he purchased a new photocopying machine a while back but has never been used Situ Mo was holding a cup of tea, hulee as Fu Pei blows his top off, this kind of scenario has always been especially delightful to her (T/N: In China, the spleen is counted as the seat of one's te one's spleen' has becory')

The business has been slow these days, ere idling as our everyday work only revolved around killing time, but to show consideration for our Boss Fu Pei's self-estee very busy, this truly makes a person physically and emotionally exhausted

There was a banging sound as Fu Pei was done wrestling that thing, afterwards, he told us he'll be heading out to talk business, as he alking out, Situ Mo slid her chair next toa filthy smile, ”Who was that handsome little fella yesterday?”

”Who?”

Situ Mo said, ”When I knocked off work yesterday, I was stopped downstairs by that handsoht he took a fancy on et rid of that look in your face, my husband always think I'm as pretty as a flower Yesterday, that handsoo look for your afterwards?”

I put awayup, and said indignantly, ”You don't know hiave him my address, what if he was a pervert?”

”Stop fussing over nothing, froave your address to hi you

I said, ”The thing you're mainly happy about was the word 'little' before 'beauty'”

Situ Mo laughed mischievously, ”You're really clever, so who is he?”

”The younger brother of Jiang Chen's colleague”

I gave her a rough run-through regarding our situation, as Situ Mo has always felt like her char a et on the ‘jealous, envious, and hateful’ nerves of a married woe, I ae person, I don't understand what our motherland's flower boys have really seen incriticis Yimou's recent filuys are just jealous, envious, and hateful” It has became an internet meme afterwards)

She co, ”You don't have to unduly huer a person is, the harder it is to pin down their thoughts, even my son thinks that the prettiest fe” (T/N: The Chinese character for beautiful/pretty is ' or Tibbie is a cartoon character, a whole goat lol)

Why do I feel like her words are indirectly i else………

She added, ”Actually, I think he's not bad, 'an old cow eating tender grass', good for the teeth” (TN: This proverb fiddles with the phenonificantly older than the other — in English, a craddle robber)

I glared at her, ”Go to hell”

She said, ”It's better than you looking at your phone 10-20 ti for your man's phone call that never comes”

I fished ”

She looked askance atabout soet e boy, that way I don't have to prepare a red packet?

Would you look at this woman, whenever she opens and closes her mouth, it's always about money, I feel lonely, we have no common topic to talk about

My righteous words indignantly rebuke her, ”Even if your husband turns out to be room, you would still not want to hand out that red packet”

Fu Pei never ca off work, Situ Mo and Iup on us the last minute, we've let all office calls transfer to our phones, even though we don't look like we're adept in escaping from work, actually we really……very often escape from work

Before, every time I'd escape from work early, I used to sit around the subway station nearon the waiting chairs, listening to et packed with ever-changing office workers knocking off work, just like a conveyor belt in a factory, transporting sos to various places

It bringsthat I really got a deal by escaping the office crowd

But now that I'm somebody with a boyfriend, I have to abandon this lowlife hobby, when I get off work early, I have to go to the hospital to rub'act inti exactly how close one is to the other in proximity )

Since I've been wasting 3 years in this enerally feels a little guilty, this tiny guilt is probably a part of being in a business I'm unfamiliar with

When I was finally at the hospital's lobby, I gave Jiang Chen a call, when the call went through but of us spoke simultaneously, ”Where are you?”

I said, ”I'm in the hospital lobby”

He said, ”I'm on my way to your office”

I said, ”Ah! Then what should we do?”

He said, ”If you turn right after you get out of the hospital, you can find a drink shop, you can drink so for me”

I thought about it for a moment and told him, ”I'll just wait for you in the lobby”

Mainly because Fu Pei already delayed two months worth of my salary, and also, the consumption around the hospital were certainly ht tea eggs around here, they were 50 cents pricier than anywhere else……look at my state of poverty……

”Then you stay in the lobby, and don't run around I'll be there soon” Jiang Chen said ”Okay, drive carefully”

Half an hour later, when Jiang Chen foundunder the shade of a tree by the roadside

To be born, to grow old, to get sick, and to die This world is very unpredictable, the occurrence of incidence in the hospital is also unpredictable, I was in the hospital lobby for thirty minutes, and already encountered an unpredictable moment in time

Half an hour back, I hung upsmile on my face distinctive to that of people ere in love, I looked for a place to sit down

About ten minutes later, there was suddenly a wo,footsteps, then before I could react, a wo down from the second floor, and landed heavily in front of me, just about five paces away

I looked at her frightened eyes, filled with tears

I looked at her twitch like a dying fish on the ground, and then became still

I looked at the foa out from the corner of her mouth

I looked at a group of doctors and nurses ere rushi+ng downstairs, yelling, ”Quick! Give her a sedative”

I looked at the thick needle, going into her arm

I wanted to say, ”Are you guys fcking crazy?! She's already notyet you still want to shoot her with soive injections sodoctors not wasps!”
