I don't really like walking with Zhou San San because he's got "no evil deeds" written all over him, yet he's always licking an ice cream scoop. It's a really annoying sight. It's like someone who wants to be a tiger but is actually a Chihuahua. He's ugly and doesn't have any attack power, but he still barks and howls at everyone.
I couldn't take it anymore, so I said to Zhou San, "I can't walk anymore. Go sit over there for a while. You can wander around by yourself... But don't stay too long. I need to rest early today. I have a few tests to do tomorrow morning, and I have to have surgery this afternoon."
"Let's go back then, I don't want to shop anymore."
"It's okay, there's still time."
"Forget it, there's always a bunch of idiots staring at me..."
"It's pretty stupid... Let's go then... Once we get to Phuket, we can do some serious shopping. There are quite a few big shopping malls in Phuket, and the key is that the people there are more tolerant and generally won't treat you like an idiot."
"Brother, are you insulting me?"
"No, I was scolding myself. If I could live like you, I wouldn't have any worries at all!"
...
It was already 10 p.m., so the bus wasn't crowded. Zhou San and I chose the two most comfortable seats; I sat on the outside, and he leaned against the window… We didn't talk much the whole way. I was silent because of my own thoughts, while Zhou San was silent because he was filled with curiosity about the city. So he took pictures of pedestrians and unusual buildings; when he encountered ladyboys performing on the street, he almost wanted to jump off the bus to take pictures…
After a while of this, he finally calmed down, and I finally had a chance to look out the car window. The moonlight tonight was exceptionally beautiful, but for some reason, it made this normally bustling city seem rather desolate... I even felt that everyone I saw was lonely, and even when couples were embracing, I felt they were only superficially affectionate...
My friend Zhou San started acting crazy again. He suddenly grabbed my wrist and asked, "Bro, when did you buy this watch? It's pretty nice!"
You fucking scared me!
I cursed at first, then replied, "I bought it during my two days in Thailand."
"How much does it cost? I'll buy one too."
Are you sure?
"What's wrong? If you can afford it, so can I."
"That's true, you go and buy it."
Zhou San smiled, then doubted himself, replying, "Forget it, I'll save up to buy a Casio... When buying a watch, you have to go for the best one right away, otherwise you'll always be thinking about changing it later, which isn't nice!"
"Yes, the fact that you think this way shows that your consumption views are very mature."
"Hehe... After I buy a Casio, can we take turns wearing it? I think this watch is quite nice!"
"No, I don't want you to suffer a loss."
"Why are we making such a big distinction between us?!"
"Can we stop this awkward conversation? If you're really bored and have nothing to do, why don't you take a nap? You've been on a plane all day, aren't you tired?"
"Not at all. Delivering food is much more tiring than this."
I ignored him, but he suddenly became serious and asked me again, "Brother, once your leg heals, will you go find my fourth brother?"
I looked at him, unsure of what to say for a long time...
Did you ever have feelings for my fourth brother?
"Didn't we already agree that we wouldn't bring this up again?"
Aren't you afraid she's still waiting for you?
I remained silent.
Zhou San said to me in a low voice, "I know that in your heart, no matter what my fourth brother does, it can't compare to Ye Zhi's place in your heart... So when Ye Zhi hurts you, you hurt my fourth brother... You always think that my fourth brother is easygoing and doesn't care if he hurts you a few times, but have you ever thought that when you were hurt, Ye Zhi still knew to comfort you, but after you hurt my fourth brother, did you know to comfort her?... The truth is, even after you hurt her, she is still thinking of you in every way!"
"Are you in contact with her?"
"No, I figured this out myself. When you came to Thailand, I saw Ye Zhi with you. Who knows what happened between you two during those two days in Thailand..."
A lot has happened, do you want to hear it?
On Wednesday, with a gloomy face, San said to me, "You speak."
I took a cigarette from the pack, put it in my mouth, bit the butt, and looked at him as I said, "She told me that if my leg doesn't heal this time, she'll be my wings, and we'll fly away together to a place where no one knows us... She said she wants to marry me."
Zhou San's face flushed red and then turned pale. He said, "You beast! No wonder you always told me you were nervous. You were afraid the doctor would heal your legs... If you really want to marry her, I'll grant your wish. I'll break both your legs right now!"
After saying that, Zhou San let out a low growl like a wild beast.
"Stop it, my phone is ringing, let me answer it first..."
As I spoke, I pushed away Zhou San and took my phone out of my pocket, only to find that it was a voice request from Lao Mi... I was surprised, as it was already 11:30 pm in China, and Lao Mi would not normally call me at this time.
I had a bad feeling.
After the call connected, I asked first, "Dad, why are you calling me so late?"
Old Mi's voice was frighteningly serious. He replied, "I have a question for you. Is there a serious problem with your leg? ... You actually went to Thailand this time to see a doctor."
"No...nothing like that..."
"Don't stutter... Speak to me properly."
No one knows a son better than his father. I know that since Old Mi went out of his way to call...
This phone call proved that he was absolutely certain, and I couldn't hide it from him anymore, so I asked him, "Who told you?"
“Lu Jia, I returned everything she sent me before… She insisted that I accept it, saying that since you won’t be able to work anymore, this is for us to support ourselves… Michael, what are you still thinking about at a time like this?… The fact that Lu Jia sent these things at this time proves that she still cares about you. Why don’t you apologize to her?… In your current state, besides Lu Jia, who else would be willing to suffer with you?… You won’t even be able to take care of your own basic needs in the future. Don’t you have any sense of crisis?”
