The phone rang a few tis before being answered. I pretended to be concerned and asked Mi Cai, "Did you take the fever-reducing and cough dicine I bought for you?"
"I took them," Mi Cai replied calmly, lacking the previous disgust in her voice.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"I'm feeling better," Mi Cai said, followed by a cough.
"Wear more clothes, and you'll feel better soon," I said with concern.
"Why should I wear so many clothes if I'm not going out?" Mi Cai questioned.
Seeing that Mi Cai had fallen into my trap, I said, "I actually need you to co out. I got into a fight and don't have enough money to pay the fine. Can you co and help pay it?"
Mi Cai hesitated before asking, "You got into a fight?"
"Yeah, that guy deserved it. I fought him to teach him not to live so recklessly!"
"You're the one who lives recklessly!" Mi Cai retorted, neither agreeing nor refusing to co.
Getting anxious, I asked, "So, are you coming or not? Can you give a definite answer?"
Mi Cai remained silent, and her silence seed intentional.
Getting more anxious, I pressed, "Are you coming or not? They're about to use private punishnt on !"
Before Mi Cai could respond, the police officer got angry and shouted at , "We are the people's police. Do you think we're the mafia? What private punishnt?"
I quickly covered the phone and whispered, "Calm down, calm down... I was just using exaggerated language to describe the situation, so she would co and help pay the fine. That way, I'll be free, and it'll save you trouble, right, Officer?"
The police officer made a gesture for to hurry up and settle it, and then remained silent. I nervously waited for Mi Cai's response. If she didn't want to co, I would have to trouble Circle and his wife.
Mi Cai seed to make a difficult decision before asking , "Which police station?"
I quickly replied, "Guanqian Police Station."
Mi Cai made a sound of agreent and hung up the phone. Her ambiguous attitude made feel uneasy. Considering her previous act of leaving in a deserted area 30 kiloters away from the city, it was not impossible for her to trick again.
The police officer left, and I remained in the interrogation room. For at this mont, the cold walls and the words "Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict" representing the dignity of the law felt oppressive. I couldn't wait to leave this place, but as ti passed, I began to doubt if I had been tricked again!
...
Half an hour passed, and the closed door finally opened. This ti, a female police officer ca in and said to , "Are you Zhao Yang? Soone has paid the fine for you. Go register with your ID!"
Those words relieved the tension in . When I stood up from the chair, I felt a bit weak, but my heart was free from heaviness and oppression. She had really co to rescue from this predicant!
...
Mi Cai and I left the police station side by side, and I felt as if I had entered a different world. Even the air outside, filled with car exhaust, seed fresh.
Mi Cai tucked her ssy hair behind her ear and covered her mouth with the back of her hand, coughing again. She had co to help despite being sick.
Feeling guilty, I said to Mi Cai, "I caused you trouble today, with the fine and the money I owe you..." I scratched my head and said sowhat embarrassedly, "It seems like even with my next week's salary, I still won't have enough to pay you back!"
Mi Cai didn't mind about the money. She stopped and said to , "You know you caused trouble. Don't get into this kind of trouble again in the future."
I laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "You called scum, right? To be a qualified scum, I have to fight, play with won, and do everything!"
Mi Cai looked at without saying a word, her eyes filled with renewed disgust. Perhaps she thought it was stubborn nonsense, not understanding that it was my self-deprecating expression tinged with a hint of sadness.
Mi Cai continued walking, and I followed her. I softened my tone and said, "Actually, with my next week's salary, I can pay you back the money my dad left . But then I won't have enough money to rent a place... What do you think? I can pay you back first, and you let stay for another month until I recover financially, and then I'll move out."
Mi Cai looked at with an emotion I couldn't decipher...
In the silent exchange between Mi Cai and , a taxi, as if injected with chicken blood, stopped not far from us. The door opened hastily, and Le Yao hurriedly got out of the car with her handbag.
...Le Yao ca to and stood face to face with Mi Cai. The two of them had similar heights and different styles of dressing, but they both had a unique temperant. They were also rare beauties in the true sense. Even the two male police officers passing by couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Why are you here?" I asked in confusion.
Le Yao said to with a concerned and nervous tone, "Robben called and said that you were taken to the police station after a fight at the bar!"
"I'm fine now," I replied in a relaxed tone.
Le Yao didn't respond to , but said to Mi Cai beside , "Miss, can you please step aside? Zhao Yang and I have sothing private to discuss."
Mi Cai wasn't interested in staying by my side in the first place. She just nodded and walked towards her car, then drove away.
...
It seed to be a troubleso night. I was a bit annoyed and habitually lit a cigarette for myself.
Le Yao looked in the direction where Mi Cai disappeared and asked, "Did she help you pay the fine?"
"It's obvious, so don't ask, okay?" I said impatiently.
"What's your relationship with her?"
"Whatever relationship you think I have with her is the relationship we have," I replied dismissively.
My dismissive and impatient attitude made Le Yao look a bit down, and she fell into silence.
After smoking half a cigarette, I finally said to Le Yao, "You should go back. It's windy now, and you just had surgery. Your body can't handle it."
Le Yao shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to leave, and asked again, "Why did you fight? Is there sothing uncomfortable in your heart?"
I was stunned. After Le Yao asked this question, I couldn't help but question myself why I fought. I had been in the bar for two years, encountering all kinds of drunk and unruly people. In the past, I would just ignore them. Why didn't I want to tolerate it today?
Find the original at ".
Although I didn't want to admit it, it was indeed related to the news that Jian Wei was coming back. When she was far away, those pains had always been lurking in my heart. When she was about to return to the country, those pains suddenly erupted and stimulated my fragile nerves.
I looked at Le Yao, wiped my face with my hands, and said, "Consider it a favor, don't ask anymore, okay?"
"Zhao Yang, am I just annoying to you?" Le Yao said with tears in her eyes.
I remained silent and continued smoking, standing with Le Yao in the cold wind, performing a classic scene of a man's silence and a woman's tears.
After a long ti, Le Yao finally said to , "I'm going to Hengdian next week. The crew will start filming in advance."
"Really? I wish you great success in advance!"
Le Yao looked at with a complicated look and said lightly, "The reason I told you is not to ask for your blessings, but to hope that you can live well and be happy at least while I'm away."
I continued to be silent, with various emotions intertwining in my heart, but I couldn't figure out where these emotions ca from.
Le Yao took out a pen from her bag and said to , "Give your hand."
Although I didn't know what she was going to do, I chanically stretched out my hand in front of her.
Le Yao wrote down a series of phone numbers on my hand and said, "I will be in Hengdian for a long ti this ti. If you're in a bad mood or have sothing on your mind, you can call with this number. We can at least chat like friends." She paused and added, "This number is available 24/7."
I didn't know what to say for a mont, I just looked at her in silence.
Le Yao put the pen back in her bag, smiled at , and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long ti... Goodbye, Zhao Yang!"
...
Watching Le Yao's figure disappear, I suddenly felt a sense of sadness from parting. Perhaps even if it was just a **, over ti, there would be so feelings. Although most of the ti, I was annoyed by the troubles she brought one after another.
...
It was late at night, and I should go back, but where should I go? Although I still lived in that old but warm house, I had stayed there with a thick-skinned face. If Mi Cai insisted on asking to leave, where should I place the troubles, the sadness, the loneliness that troubled ? Should I really leave them to this boundless night?
No, I don't want to leave. I should have a good talk with Mi Cai, even if it ans begging her to let stay, just to properly place those troubles, sadness, and loneliness!
