Evening gradually arrived, and I sat alone by the window, staring blankly at the buildings and streetlights outside. After a moment, I suddenly snapped out of it. Although the test results weren't out yet, I figured I'd better prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard.
I checked the studio's available funds. Because we took a risk by buying Cao Xiaobei's shop, we only have a little over 20,000 yuan left... which is clearly not enough.
Yang Sisi keeps saying that I tricked Cao Xiaobei. Even if I really did, this retribution came a little too fast and caught me off guard!
I was extremely anxious, and then my thoughts wandered to all sorts of random things...
I don't know how long this went on, but suddenly there was a knock on the window. I looked up and saw Yang Sisi smiling at me through the glass...
I stared at her blankly, without even a change in expression.
She entered the studio, placed a plastic bag in front of me, and said, "I made cookies and brought them over especially for you. Try them and see if they're good."
"I have no appetite, you eat it yourself."
Yang Sisi sat down in the chair opposite me, stared at me for a while, and then asked, "Why do you look so lifeless... Is something at work bothering you?"
I lit a cigarette, took several puffs, and then said, "No... Take the cookies away and let me be alone for a while."
"What do you mean... It's just a few cookies, but I spent an entire afternoon making them... Even if you don't want to eat them, you don't have to give me that look, do you?"
"Can you please stop making things difficult for me?"
"Stop getting angry at me for no reason, okay?"
I was already anxious, and now I was even more anxious. I grabbed the cigarette pack from the table, slammed the door, and left... At that moment, I had no mood to explain or confide in anyone. I knew that saying anything would be futile; only the result mattered... But the worst part was that the result wouldn't be available until tomorrow morning.
In my anxiety, I completely ignored Yang Sisi's feelings at that moment. She knew nothing about it, yet she inexplicably bore the brunt of my bad mood.
...
As soon as I stepped outside, Lu Jia came over carrying a thermal box. She said to me, "My mom borrowed the inn's kitchen and cooked some pork liver porridge to nourish your blood and qi for Uncle. Let's take it to him together; it's almost time for him to eat."
I nodded.
Yang Sisi also chased after Lu Jia from the studio. She looked at Lu Jia, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know what's wrong with him... I think he's acting very strangely today, and his temper is particularly bad!"
Lu Jia glanced at me, then pulled Yang Sisi aside and whispered a few words in her ear. During this time, Yang Sisi looked at me, but I chose to look away.
...
After Lu Jia and Yang Sisi finished speaking, Lu Jia returned to my side, and we walked together outside Jiulongju...
Through the glass of the shop across the street, I vaguely saw Yang Sisi behind me. She chased after me for a few steps, then stopped... standing at a distance, gazing at my retreating figure!
