Chapter 8

A few days after returning from the hospital, my stomach, which had been quiet for a long time, started to stir up again. After finally, the design department meeting was over in the afternoon, I told the secretary and came back early. The 4S store called and my car would be repaired tomorrow, so that I had time to go there. Now it seems that it is still a problem whether I can hold on until tomorrow without any trouble. When I got home, I fell on the bed and covered my head and fell asleep. Cheng Yuanfeng was going to his mother for dinner tonight. According to convention, he would not come back tonight. I can rest assured and boldly lift the corpse in advance.

I was sleeping in a daze and was picked up by someone, and anyone rubbed my face with stubble. I had a bad dream and was upset. I slapped it over and shook it away.

People are awake too.

"Have you eaten?" Cheng Yuanfeng asked.

I shook my head and went to grab my phone: "What time is it?"

"After seven o'clock." He took off some of his phone and prevented me from touching him, "Have you eaten?"

I sat a little farther away, shook my head, and said, "Why are you back so early?"

When did your mother want to lock you up again?

He laughed dryly and said, "I just sat down. I heard you were uncomfortable, so I rushed back to see you."

I glanced at him and lifted the quilt and got out of bed. My stomach no longer hurts, so I felt hungry. I went to the bathroom. As soon as I went out, he sat in the living room without turning on the lights and lit a cigarette, and didn't know what to think. I made a hundred guarantees, and what I said to him and I did in the hospital. He would add fuel to the fire and tell him. This queen has always regarded breaking up us as her lifelong career since many years ago, and I was not surprised. She washed her hands and planned to make something for herself to eat.

There was nothing in the refrigerator except beer and leftover tofu skin, but there was a pack of instant noodles left on the refrigerator. Take it down and it was expired for three days. However, there was too much preservative in this thing, so you didn't have to worry about it if it expired. Just as I was about to tear it apart, I was taken away by someone.

"How long has it been? Is it expired?" Cheng Yuanfeng said while checking the date. After reading it, he threw it into the trash can, "Go out and eat."

"What to eat?" I unbuttoned my pajamas and went into the bedroom to change my clothes.

He followed me and suggested all the way. Self-service barbecue, train hotpot, and slewing sushi. Every time I said that, my stomach would suck, and finally threw my coat on the bed, saying, "If you don't have a good suggestion, I would rather pick up the bag of instant noodles."

"Then go and eat noodles." He raised his hands and expressed helplessness. "Didn't you say you wanted to eat the tomato and egg noodles at the school gate a few days ago?"

When I was in graduate school, he came to pick me up and the two of them went to the small shop at the entrance of the school to eat a bowl of egg noodles before going home. A few days ago, a junior girl contacted me and thought of an internship at the company during the holiday. When they chatted, they asked about the store, but they were still there and opened a branch on campus. When I came back in the evening, I mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect that he remembered it.

Sitting in the car, I felt complicated and couldn't help but take out my cell phone to send a text message to Jiang Lei. After typing a few words, I didn't know what to say, so I simply canceled it. Cheng Yuanfeng saw it and cleared his throat and said, "My mother said she met you in the hospital that day."

I said "yes".

"Which friend did you go with me? That friend that day? Who did you call him?" he asked.

I nodded.

"What's wrong with him?"

"very good."

"Xiao Yun, didn't you agree not to interact with him again?" He frowned and raised the speed of the car.

"I probably didn't agree to you at that time." I put my phone in my pocket, "It's my freedom to make friends."

My fingers holding the steering wheel tightened slightly, as if restraining my anger. As far as the speed of the car was concerned, he didn't open the car door and pushed me out of the car. I held my arms and looked out the window, looking as if nothing happened, even more angry than him. In fact, I was thinking about how I should protect myself if he had an attack.

It was not until he reached the back door of the school that he spoke, and all my plans were lost in one sentence.

"Does this sentence count for me to give up everything?"

I untied my seat belt and carefully opened the car door to avoid touching the car parked next door. He called my name low and inaudible behind me, and I pretended not to hear it. It seemed that as long as I became a deaf person in this second, this problem could be successfully escaped.

"Xiao Yun!" He suddenly leaned over and grabbed my arm and refused to let me go, "Answer me!"

Look, I got angry.

"When I said this, I remember correctly, I was twenty-four years old, right?" I turned around and smiled.

He looked solemn and his hand holding my arm gradually exerted force, as if he wanted to pinch me into a comminuted fracture again.

"I'm thirty now." I said, "Will you believe in the fairy tale you believed when you were four years old?"

I shook his hand away and shook it hard, and his hand hit the car door. It probably hurts, but how could this be enough?

I was only 30 years old and had stomach cancer. Mingming Taoist priests on Mount Hua said that I could live for a hundred years, but now two-thirds of my life have been cut off by you. Cheng Yuanfeng, no one will get cancer after all. If I hadn't been with you when I started a business, if I hadn't worked overtime for the company until I didn't eat for two or three days, maybe the damn cancer cells wouldn't have come to me at all. Or, in the early stages of cancer, I could find my abnormality. If you made me feel better, if you made me feel that living is still something worth looking forward to, how could I only know that I was in the late stage of cancer?

And you still have the nerve to ask me if you are willing to give up everything for you?

How is that possible?!

I want to take away everything from you right now and watch you feel in pain with my own eyes!

The business of the noodle restaurant is still so good, but I changed my young face to manage it. The attitude of greeting people is not as attentive as before, but I am still polite. I chose the seat I liked before and sat down and said to the young boss: "Tomato and egg noodles, please have a big bowl, thank you."

He raised his head and shouted to the kitchen. The chef inside agreed. He turned to ask Cheng Yuanfeng who was walking in: "What are you going to do?"

Cheng Yuanfeng sat opposite me, and the back of one hand became red and swollen. I pretended that it was invisible and lowered my head to check if the chili oil and vinegar were all complete. He sighed and said, "Tomato and egg noodles, a big bowl."

The boss agreed to leave, and he turned to me and said, "You can't finish the big bowl, right?"

I shrugged: "You are not enough for a big bowl, isn't you?"

He chuckled softly, as gentle as when we first met, because we wanted to chase me, so we tried our best. We were obviously a bastard who was not afraid of being particularly unrecognizable, and pretended to be like a British gentleman. But I lacked social experience and was fooled. So I was not embarrassed to attack Ms. Cheng. It was your son who chased me first, but I was beaten by him.

Perhaps affected by the environment, or Mr. Cheng's smile has always been so bewitched, I can't help but smile. If I hadn't seen it, a trace of shock would definitely pass through Cheng Yuanfeng's eyes. I expanded this smile, divided the disposable chopsticks, put it in front of him, and said: "Before Dongcang Pharmaceutical's funds are in place, the design department will never start construction. I have told the department that this has been told. As for other things, please coordinate."

His smile froze on his face, and he instantly felt like he had eaten a fly. After a long time, he said, "Xiao Yun, can we not talk about the company?"

"What else can I say?" I asked, "Also, the design drawings for a series of new products were made by the entire department working overtime for two days. I have promised to double the bonus. The personnel department said that you need to approve it. When will you be able to approve it?"

"I'll sign it when I go tomorrow," he said.

I nodded, broke the chopsticks apart, pulled the wooden thorns on it, and smiled softly: "What do you want to say now?"

He held his forehead and smiled helplessly: "I originally wanted to recall the past with you."

"Don't recall the past." I grabbed the chopsticks between my fingers and turned them like a pen. "The past is unbearable to look back on, let's talk about the present. Your mother advised me to agree with that matter again."

Cheng Yuanfeng nodded and said, "She told me, she said you don't agree."

"Cheng Yuanfeng, I can't agree with this. I said, you have no children and grandchildren, I will accompany you, but you can't have a baby with another woman!" My feelings were brewing, and I really wanted to spit out his saliva in one breath. Unfortunately, two bowls of steaming noodles were served on the table at this time, and I forced my words back to my stomach. Thinking about it afterwards, it was not a bad thing. If I had said too much at that time, I might have spoken without saying anything.

He said nothing and lowered his head to eat noodles. While eating, I threw coriander into his bowl and threw some tomato skins into it. He reciprocates and picked up all the eggs in the bowl. I was so hungry that I ate most of the bowl, and felt my stomach warmer. I lowered my head and drank two sips of soup, and pushed the bowl to him. He bit the noodles and raised his head, bared his teeth and grinned at me. After a while, both bowls of noodles were seen.

Jiang Lei told me that there is one thing that Saner would never have in her life.

I guess this kind of thing is probably tacit understanding and familiarity.

"I won't have children with other women." He said, burping involuntarily, "Xiao Yun, don't be angry."

After dinner, he suggested going to the campus for a walk. I was in no way possible. He wanted to stage a warm and affectionate drama, so it would be okay for me to accompany me. My undergraduate degree was not studied at this university. I studied for more than a year in graduate school and stopped studying without getting a diploma. Strictly speaking, returning to this place doesn’t have many good memories.

After he was sent to the United States by his mother, I could not afford the rent, so I could only return the house and stay in the school dormitory. Later, my father was hospitalized when he was sick, and his life was basically two points and one line. He ran around the school hospital every day. Even when he returned to China later, he didn't really help much. He studied in the United States and planned to return to China to show his strength. In addition to my father and school, I had to be busy, but he had more. Rather than saying that I dropped out of school because I missed the exam, it would be better to say that I made a choice between my studies and him.

A friend of mine once told me that there are many ways for couples to walk, and Cheng Yuanfeng and I want to cover up the situation. No matter how far the two of us walk, we can still see through our relationship at a glance. It has been dark long ago, and the access control at the back door of the school is very loose, and it is also very troublesome to enter and exit after nine o'clock. I took out my cell phone to check the time, and it was past 8:30. I turned around and was about to tell him to go back, but his cell phone rang.

He glanced at the call and his mouth couldn't help but sag. This was an irritable posture. I shrugged and probably guessed who it was, saying, "Please, please." He walked into the cobblestone road next to him.
