Chapter 9: Repaying Grievance with Virtue

Micai drove me here for 20 minutes at 100 yards per hour, which means that I am at least 30 kilometers away from my residence. I want to die a little. Why have I been stuck with these incredible things recently!

Picking up slippers from the ground, I tucked my clothes, looked up, and fortunately, the Big Dipper still flashed again. I found the brightest Yuheng star, and after confirming the east, south, west and north, I walked towards the blurry lights in the distance, like a lonely escape.

For half an hour, I finally saw a road with cars coming and going. When I looked closely, I really wanted to strangle that vicious woman to death. In front of me was the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway at the junction of Suzhou and Wuxi.

...

When it was almost dawn, I was driven to the city by a kind passerby. I drove to the residence again. In the end, because I didn't bring my wallet and didn't even pay the fare, I threw half of the cigarette I hadn't finished smoking to the driver and ran away.

When I entered the community, my angry flames began to burn. I wanted to talk to Micai, if I don’t talk about life or ideals, I would just talk about why she treats me like this.

When I returned to the room, I put the guitar on the table in the living room, came to Mi Cai's door, raised my hand and vented, "Is it fun to play with me? Do you know I have to go to work tomorrow..." After looking at the already shiny sky outside the window, I corrected it, "No, it's today, you've been trying to make me so hard all night, what state will I do to work? When the boss was unhappy, he fired my squid. Do you raise me?"

I kept talking, but there was no response in the room.

"If you want my scolding to be even more ugly, you can continue to pretend to be inaudible to me." I said and knocked at the door again.

There was still no response inside the house.

"Didn't she come back?" I twisted the handle of the door in confusion, but found that it was locked.

Anyway, in Mi Cai's eyes, I was just a scumbag, and it was not a crime to break into her room at night. I found the keys to her room from a bunch of keys, and then opened the door. I had to chat with her whether she was sleeping or not.

I turned on the light and finally saw Mi Cai lying on the bed side. She was covered with a quilt and turned her back to me, still silent.

"You sleep soundly. Have you ever thought about what kind of sin I suffered?... The wind blows through my nose and flows... Ah..." I sneeze, rubbed my nose, and said angrily: "I tell you, I have never seen you do this for more than 20 years after living. It's so thief and so unkind!"

No matter how I scolded her, she was as peaceful as Mount Tai and remained unmoved!

Just as I was about to pull her out of bed and argue with her face to face, she suddenly coughed violently...

According to common sense in life, if my sneeze just now was caused by a cold, then her cough would definitely be a fever, and she must have suffered from a cold last night.

...

I was stunned for a moment, and then cursed: "God is open!... You have been retribution!"

Mi Cai coughed again, but didn't say anything to me. She didn't know if she was lazy to pay attention to me or because of the pain of fever.

"Go out." Mi Cai said to me coldly after a while.

"No need to remind me, I like to be so angry that I don't help you, just cough to death!... I deserve it, retribution..." I said and strode out of Mi Cai's room.

I was about to take a hot shower, and then I took a short snatch, but I heard the sound of coughing coming from Mi Cai's room intermittently.

I stopped to the bathroom and suddenly fell into struggle for no reason. I always felt that I was the only man in the room, and she coughed so helplessly. Do I really have to watch it so much?

"Forget it, I have been a scumbag for so long, and do a good thing, just take it as accumulating virtue." I said to myself.

...

I put the towel in my hand on the sofa, walked to the kitchen, found a piece of ginger and a bag of old brown sugar, lit the gas stove and started ginger brown sugar soup.

I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes anymore. I lit a cigarette to refresh myself, and then looked at the brown sugar ginger soup in the pot with some numbness.

A rising sun had already leaked a side in the sky at the eastmost point of the window. The wind blew slightly over the spider plant hanging on the balcony. The new day exuded a regular vigor and freshness in the early morning. I was a little immersed. The world at this time was charming, and it seemed that it belonged to me alone... Perhaps compared to this rare morning, I didn't like the bright lights and wine at night very much.

Mi Cai's cough woke me up from my loss, and then I realized that the ginger soup had been boiling in the pot for a long time. Turn off the gas stove and I put a bowl on and walked towards Mi Cai's room.

...

"I have made a bowl of ginger soup, you can drink it." I stood beside Mi Cai's bed and said to her.

"You don't have to be so kind."

"Who is kind to you? I'm afraid that you will always cough like this and affect my sleep!" I said dissatisfiedly.

Mi Cai said unhappily: "If you move out, you won't hear it."

"I'm going to move, no one knows that you coughed to death at home... Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and drink the ginger soup!" I said as I put down the bowl in my hand and stood up Mi Cai's pillow, and helped her up rudely.

I touched her forehead and it was really hot. I picked up the bowl on the bedside table and handed it to her: "Drink the ginger soup first."

Mi Cai did not compete with her body anymore, took the ginger soup from me and started drinking it. Although she still didn't say anything, her expression was not as cold as before.

"After drinking, you'll sleep in the quilt, put the bowl on, I'll come back to collect it later. You have a low fever, take some antipyretic medicine and sweat a little."

...

I was afraid that my cold would worsen, so I put on a thick coat before going out. I rarely get sick and don’t have any daily medicines at home, so I have to go to the pharmacy to buy some antipyretics and cough medicines for Micai.

It's too early now, and the pharmacy was not open for business. I ran several stops before I found a business clinic. I bought the medicine and went back immediately. After so many troubles, it was already 7:30.

Back to her residence again, she came to Mi Cai's room, but she was already asleep. Looking at her breathing evenly and with a quiet expression, I did not wake her up again.

I found her cell phone from her bag, dialed my number, and left a note on her bedside table: "When I wake up, remember to take antipyretics and cough medicines. If you can't handle it, call me. The number I already have in your cell phone... The scum in your eyes, the angel in my own eyes - Zhaoyang Liu!"

After gently tucking the quilt for her, I left her room.

...

After taking a hot shower and before I had time to have breakfast, I took the bus to the company and started my day in a state of depression.

I was so sleepy that I yawned one after another. Finally, I just held my chin with one hand and got up in a very technical position. If I didn't get close, I would never find that I was sleeping.

Fang Yuan was busy because he was about to get married. He didn't come to the company until almost ten o'clock. He raised his hand and woke me up: "Did you go to the nightclub again last night?"

I was so angry when I remembered what happened last night, but there was no need to take my anger Fang Yuan, and yawned again and replied, "I didn't sleep well, I've been tormenting me all night!"

Fang Yuan misinterpreted my meaning and said, "You kid must pay attention to nourishing your kidneys. Although you are still young, you can't resist your uncontrollable mess with women!"

"We are all educated people, can we speak implicitly?"

Fang Yuan smiled helplessly and then asked me: "Have you helped me solve the project plan for setting up a counter?"

"It's done, I'll give you the documentation on the D drive."

Fang Yuan nodded and handed me another note and said, "Zhaoyang, I will ask for leave from you and the manager later. You accompany Yan Yan to follow the list on this note and go to the mall to buy everything you want to buy."

"Are you getting married or I getting married? You asked me to buy things with Yan Yan!" I asked with some amusement.

Fang Yuan sighed: "Isn't there any way I can do this? I have to buy so many things, and Yan Yan can't carry them alone. I talk about setting up a counter in our shopping mall. I can't affect the company's investment plan for several months because of my own personal affairs, right?"

"Okay." I responded, but yawned again. I was cheated and walked for the middle of the night. I haven't been asleep for another night. How can I not sleep?

Fang Yuan patted my shoulder and said, "Thank you for a hard time, I'll treat you to dinner when I'm back tonight."

I waved to Fang Yuan: "Go ahead and get busy with your business, I'll hurry up and take a look!"

"Don't squint, Yan Yan is waiting for you downstairs in the company!..." Fang Yuan paused, and suddenly put his tone in my ear and whispered: "By the way... Jian Wei replied to the email. On the day of Yan Yan and I got married, she would probably rush back from the United States in 80%!"

I stared at Fang Yuan with my eyes, and my sleepiness disappeared. Suddenly it seemed like I was traveling through the two heavens of ice and fire. After three years, is she finally coming back?
