Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Venting
“What do you want?” Weina asked.
Bi Yuanhang walked up to her, looked into her eyes, and mustered his courage to say, “I’ve given up chasing Xiao Xi, and now… now…”
“You like now?” Weina asked with a laugh.
He nodded.
Weina smiled faintly, “It’s just been a few tis in bed, don’t be fooled by these illusions.”
“Nana!” Bi Yuanhang pulled her into his embrace and held her tightly, not letting her go.
...
“I’m not that kind of person, since I’ve been with you, I’ll take responsibility!”
Weina pushed him away, and said seriously, “Let’s talk about this later. Right now, let’s just consider each other companions keeping warm. You don’t need to feel any burden.”
“Nana, are you still unable to let go of your deceased husband?” Bi Yuanhang asked.
“I… I don’t know.” After saying that, Weina turned and ran back to her room.
…
Clinic.
Su ixi was cooking noodles for Gu Wei.
Eating sothing steaming hot in the morning makes the stomach more comfortable.
Making noodles is simple, just add so greens and eggs, so Gu Wei couldn’t help out. He just sat on the stool watching her busy herself.
Having a wife prepare breakfast is truly blissful.
Su ixi finished cooking the noodles and handed him a bowl, “You have to go back to your shift today, eat up first.”
“Alright.” He took the bowl and ate with big slurps while blowing on it.
Su ixi was still reminiscing about the joy of last night, she said with a smile, “Last night’s Mid-Autumn Festival was the happiest one I’ve ever had.”
“Because I was there?”
“Not just that, it’s more lively with more people.”
Gu Wei suddenly rembered sothing and said, “In a couple of days, the military will have a Mid-Autumn cultural performance. You should co and watch.”
“A performance after Mid-Autumn has passed?”
“It’s the touring performance of the military art troupe. Our place is a bit remote, so by the ti they get here, it’s going to be after Mid-Autumn.” He said this while brushing her long bangs from her forehead to behind her head.
“Sure, I’ll definitely co. Can I invite Weina and my ntor too?”
“Of course.”
Gu Wei had also noticed last night, Bi Yuanhang had lost interest in Su ixi. His eyes were always on Weina, almost wishing he could feed her the peeled fruit himself.
…
The clinic was a bit busy today.
Due to yesterday’s festivities, many had co in with upset stomachs and swollen gums from too much heat.
The locals would endure as long as they could, but when they couldn’t, such as with stomachaches and toothaches, they ca in.
Neither Su ixi nor Bi Yuanhang were dentists, but the clinic had dicine to reduce inflammation and swelling of the gums. Just prescribing so for them to take ho would be fine.
Most stomach pain was due to gastroenteritis, which was also easy to handle.
During a lull in the busyness, Su ixi took the initiative to speak to Bi Yuanhang, “ntor, I’m thinking about promoting dical insurance in the town next, so everyone will be encouraged to buy it. What do you think?”
Bi Yuanhang asked, “Isn’t dical insurance mandatory now?”
“But there are still many who escape not buying it, we can’t force them. We can only promote it more, ntion it to every person who cos in.”
Bi Yuanhang said, “Although that’s the publicity departnt’s job, we can indeed do more.”
This was the first ti since Bi Yuanhang ca to the town that he was working cooperatively with Su ixi.
They discussed many ideas and eliminated them one by one.
It must be said, Bi Yuanhang was a very capable worker, quick-witted. The ideas he proposed were all useful.
After they finished discussing the ideas, the next topic was funding for the promotion.
Su ixi said, “Actually, the town’s publicity departnt has done quite a lot. They have limited funds, so I was thinking of contributing so of my own money.”
Bi Yuanhang said, “Count in too.”
Although Su ixi worked in Wu Bian Town, she was paid Feng City’s salary and, with additional support subsidies, she earned even more than before. Besides eating, she had no other expenses here, so she had saved tens of thousands over the year.
Bi Yuanhang’s family in Canada had so property, and they were financially comfortable; he was not short of money.
Sarah, the nurse, saw that the two of them were finally working together after previously being like enemies, not even acknowledging each other, and couldn’t help but co over with a smile, saying, “You two were like adversaries before, not giving each other the ti of day. Now you’ve finally partnered up.”
Su ixi and Bi Yuanhang both gave an embarrassed smile.
Taking the opportunity, Su ixi asked him, “Senpai, you’ve fallen in love with Weina by now, haven’t you?”
When Weina was ntioned, Bi Yuanhang’s eyes seed a bit sad, and he nodded his head.
“But it seems she doesn’t like ; she probably can’t let go of her deceased husband.”
“But, you two… You’ve already done ‘that,’ right?” Su ixi asked sowhat shyly.
Bi Yuanhang nodded again.
Su ixi said, “Weina is a passionate person. For soone like her, thought and body are one. She definitely likes you; that’s why she would… do ‘that’ with you.”
Bi Yuanhang glanced at Su ixi.
From his look, there was no trace of adoration anymore, only the trust between friends.
“Good luck, Senpai. I’m going to prepare the promotional materials,” said Su ixi.
…
That night, after Bi Yuanhang returned from the clinic, he saw the light on in Weina’s room.
He paused.
He didn’t want to disturb her, but then he slled a whiff of alcohol.
Unable to resist, he walked over, knocked on the door, heard no sound, and then pushed the door open himself.
Weina was drinking, looking very forlorn.
He hurried over and snatched the bottle from her, “Why are you drinking again?”
They hadn’t drunk for so ti now, and even doing ‘that’ had been in a state of sobriety.
Weina ignored him, simply wiping the corner of her mouth, looking in pain.
After a while, she cursed, “That naughty man, to the death, he never told the reason for our breakup.”
Hearing her speak, Bi Yuanhang knew she was again thinking of her late husband.
She couldn’t let go of him.
Unwilling to be broken up with.
Sotis she wondered if he had another woman outside and that nobody around knew she had been dumped already.
Other tis she thought maybe he had known he was leaving soon and hence broke up with her.
However, no one told her the specific reason.
He had left, just left, without even leaving a dream behind.
Therefore, she stayed here for four years.
Four years.
Seeing her so heartbroken, Bi Yuanhang couldn’t help but hold her.
Leaning in his arms, she suddenly wanted to vent.
Then she started pulling at his clothes, undoing the buttons of his shirt, her hands reaching below his belt.
Bi Yuanhang firmly grasped her hand, “Nana, calm down.”
He didn’t want to be treated like a tool for venting.
“I don’t want to calm down.” She began to gnaw at his mouth, at his neck.
Bi Yuanhang, unable to endure any longer, just satisfied her.
A night of madness.
Yet, that madness only brought more pain.
He felt like nothing more than a tool for alleviating worries.
…
The Mid-Autumn Festival cultural performance was held in the military’s auditorium.
Besides the servicen, there were also military family mbers and so civil servants from the local area.
Su ixi, Weina, and Bi Yuanhang also went, but they didn’t sit with Gu Wei; instead, they sat in the guest area.
The perforrs were from the military arts school, including both n and won, singing and dancing—the level of the performance was quite professional.
The team leader, a woman nad Lingling, kept glancing at Gu Wei.
There was an interactive segnt in the middle, and Lingling, who was also the host, specifically called out Gu Wei, “I know the n of our army are all handso and robust, but what I didn’t know is that here at the border there is soone as handso as Major Gu.”
