After looking around and making sure the dog was gone, I sat back down in my seat and sighed, "That dog really has no luck. You clearly want to be nice to it, but it just can't understand... If only it could have waited a little longer!"
"Perhaps it can't wait any longer?"
"I disagree with that statement. What could be more important than eating?!"
"If there's a litter of puppies waiting for it to feed them... I just saw it find a bone and then run away in a hurry."
"Can dogs eat bones?"
"But it has to be fed first before it can be 'milk'ed... Let's not worry about that, let's eat quickly... I really have to go."
Do you have anything else planned for tonight?
"I'm not feeling well and want to rest early."
To be honest, I was nervous when Ye Zhi said she wasn't feeling well, so I looked straight at her and asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"
Ye Zhi dodged slightly.
"If you don't tell me, aren't you just making people worry?"
Ye Zhi still didn't look at me. Her face was slightly flushed, and she replied in a low voice, "I'm on my period."
"Menstrual cramps!"
I don't know what I was thinking, but I made a loud noise, which made everyone around me look at me. Ye Zhi lowered her head, probably also feeling embarrassed. She whispered to me, "Keep your voice down."
"It's alright, they won't understand anyway." (Tank's new book was first published on the WeChat official account "Tank's Bookstall." Remember to follow for protagonist images and daily interaction with the author.)
As I spoke, I glanced at the food Ye Zhi hadn't finished, especially the iced cola. She hadn't drunk a drop... Thinking about it, I was quite careless, actually ordering her an iced cola during her period.
At that moment, I didn't care that I couldn't speak Thai. I went to the sales area, gestured, and showed the translator on my phone to the clerk. Finally, I managed to get Ye Zhi a glass of water.
As I handed the cup to Ye Zhi, I said, "Drink some hot water first. I'll go see if there's a convenience store nearby that sells brown sugar. Drinking brown sugar water will make you feel better!"
"Who did you learn all of this from?"
Ye Zhi stumped me. These were experiences I had gained from working with Lu Jia... Over the years, I've only dated Lu Jia and her two girlfriends, so I felt she was being deliberately obtuse.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Ye Zhi said again, "Don't go, just bear with it and it will be fine."
"Why don't you just stay here? It takes at least an hour to get to the airport from here. You must be feeling really uncomfortable just enduring it like this!"
"I arranged to meet the developer at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, but I'm afraid I won't make it in time."
"Get up early, you'll definitely make it... If you can't get up, I'll wake you up... I usually wake up at six in the morning, three hours should be enough time for you to get there."
...
No matter how I tried to persuade her, Ye Zhi insisted on leaving. I took her to the roadside and waited with her for a taxi, but because we were in a busy area, we waited for almost ten minutes without seeing a single empty taxi.
Looking at Ye Zhi, who could barely stand up, I felt a mix of emotions. I helped her to a bench by the roadside and then stood there waiting for her. Actually, it wasn't a pleasant feeling; it was like pushing away someone I could rely on.
"Michael, come here."
I turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No need to wait, I've already asked the hotel over there to send a car to pick me up... Come sit with me for a while."
I don't quite understand Ye Zhi's intentions. It would take at least an hour to get a car from the hotel to this place. If we wait patiently, we should be able to find a taxi that isn't picking up any passengers in that hour.
Despite these thoughts, I sat down next to her, took a cigarette from my pack, and put it in my mouth, but didn't light it. I stared blankly across the street at a few hair salons with their neon lights flashing incessantly. But there was one corner where even the neon lights couldn't reach. Whenever the light flashed over there, it was like a ping-pong ball grazing the edge, instantly flashing in another direction. I felt like my obsessive-compulsive disorder was being driven crazy!
"Michael, look."
I snapped out of my daze and looked around, only to realize that Ye Zhi had shown me a family taking a walk; to be precise, a family, because it consisted only of a father, mother, and daughter. The daughter was quite mischievous, insisting that her parents each hold one of her hands, and then she curled up her legs like an airplane about to take off. When her parents pulled her along and started running, she giggled incessantly…
I was inexplicably touched. After a moment of envy, I suddenly felt heartbroken. I felt like a wandering man, without roots or a home.
...
Just then, Ye Zhi gently took my arm and leaned on my shoulder. My heart raced, and then I felt a sense of security, like someone quietly holding up an umbrella for me in a downpour.
So, I subconsciously moved closer to Ye Zhi...
In this unfamiliar city, we are both alone. At this moment, we are truly two patients, drifting along while searching for each other's warmth. Perhaps we will fall to the ground the moment we wake up from our dream.
I asked her softly, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
"Much better... Don't talk, let me hold you for a while."
I looked down at her; her face was already streaked with tears.
...
I don't know how much time passed, but she finally whispered to me, "Michael, if your leg is healed, go find Sisi... She's the woman who's most suitable for you, and she's the one you need most."
"You are using"
What gives you the right to tell me this?
"You should have a family by now. Looking at that family walking past us, don't you feel even a little bit envious?"
"envious!"
"So stop making excuses for yourself... Waiting for someone is painful, don't let her down again and again."
As she spoke, Ye Zhi released her arm from mine... At that moment, I really wanted to light the cigarette I had in my mouth, but I held back, as did a little bit of anger inside me.
I don't want to yell at her anymore; I just feel heartbroken, even though I understand all the good and bad in this world.
I felt that going to Thailand was the last time she saw me off.
So I forced a smile and asked her, "I heard everything you said. Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
"there is none left."
As the wind howled, Ye Zhi got up and started walking along the long street toward a nearby commercial street. She had probably arranged to meet the hotel shuttle there.
