At the moment, Su Man was helping an old man make wontons in a wonton shop. The broken second-hand speakers beside her were playing...
"If you don't have the determination to stay with me forever, please don't fall in love with someone like me..."
The more Su Man listened, the uglier her expression became. The poor sound system and the out-of-tune tunes were secondary. The worst part was that the old man was old at heart, and he was actually playing a DJ version of a song.
The old man's hands cut the meat filling to the rhythm of the drum "da da da", and he hummed along, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault..."
Although Su Man wanted to correct the old man, she held back. After all, her songs were not only popular among young people, but also among the middle-aged and elderly, which was an unexpected bonus. She brushed her hair out of her eyes with her sleeve, then kneaded the dough and meat filling into a small wonton.
The old man glanced at the freshly baked wontons and nodded, "It's getting better and better."
Then he added, "Aren't you just pretending? Why are you wrapping it so carefully? Why don't you just demonstrate it to others when they come to see it?"
Su Man squeezed the wonton tightly in her hand and smiled, "Of course I can't gesture. Acting requires deep involvement in the role."
Only after she was able to roll out the dough and make wontons by herself did she wash her hands and go to the hospital.
As soon as she entered the ward, she heard a loud, "Explode!"
"Damn, I'm a farmer and you hit me. Are you crazy?" Yu Shi complained.
"Oh, I'm just worried that you'll run out of cards and let the landlord run away."
Yu Shi's legs were hanging in the air, his right hand was hanging under his neck, and only his left hand was left to struggle to touch the cards. He was truly an example of a strong will despite being disabled.
His two poker friends were better off than him. One came in a wheelchair, and the other had one eye blindfolded.
Seeing Su Man coming in, Yu Shi drove them away and said, "My sister is here to see me. You should go back and recuperate."
Yu Shi was afraid that his sister would be angry, so he smiled and said, "We didn't play with any money, we were just having fun. Did you bring me anything delicious?"
Su Man sighed, "I brought you some bone soup. You've injured your bones and muscles, so you need to nourish them." She put the small table on the bed and placed the bone soup on the table.
"Here are the chopsticks."
"What's that under your fingernails?"
Yu Shi suddenly grabbed Yu Man's hand. Seeing flour between her nails, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Man withdrew her hand immediately. "Can we cook without flour? Come on, eat."
Yu Shi still felt something was wrong. "Your hand was like that last time, and you said you worked to earn money, but you ran away when I asked you. Tell me, did Ji Li bully you?"
"No."
Yu Man withdrew her hand and said, "Hurry up and drink your soup."
Seeing his sister like this, Yu Shi felt a fire burning in his chest again, "Ji Li must have bullied you, I'm going to find him."
"elder brother!"
Yu Man shouted, her eyes as cold as if she had spit out ice.
Yu Shi had never seen Yu Man like this before, and was stunned for a moment, "Man Man..."
"Brother, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself. We can talk about other things after you get better."
Yu Shi also knew that he couldn't even get off the ground in his current state. He nodded and said, "I won't ask any more questions. Sis, please sit down."
However, after Yu Man left, he called the nurse and said, "Follow Yu Man and see where she went. Tell me when you come back."
Nurse: "That's not good. Following people and prying into their privacy is against the law."
Yu Shi was speechless. "That's my biological sister! Is there any problem?"
"Yes, this is a different price."
Yu Shi: “…”
Two hours later, the nurse returned. In keeping with the fine tradition of taking money to relieve misfortune, he dutifully reported, "Ms. Yu Man left the hospital first, then went to the doctor to ask about your condition, then left again, and got on the elevator..."
"Can you please focus on the key points?" Yu Shi collapsed.
"Oh, the point is, she didn't even wash her hands before making wontons. She really can't eat food from outside."
"No, wait, making wontons? You followed her home?"
The nurse was shocked. "What are you talking about? That's illegal. She was standing on the street making wontons."
Yu Shi heard Yu Man helping to make wontons at a wonton stall and fell into deep thought.
He couldn't understand why Yu Man had such a good life after being with Ji Li. How could she have ended up working in a snack bar?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. However, he couldn't move now, and Yu Man was clearly hiding something from him. He was so anxious that his eyes were blazing with anger.
...
Streetlights came on everywhere.
The big pot at the door of the wonton stall was steaming. The girl standing next to it was stirring the soup pot with a spatula, and small white wontons were rolling around in it.
This was the scene Ji Li saw when he passed by. He had just called and, knowing that Yu Man hadn't returned home, he found the wonton shop according to Ah Hong's instructions. Yu Man was indeed there.
The snack bar didn't even have a frontage, just seven or eight tables set up outside. The diners were mostly office workers who had just finished overtime. Bowls of steaming wontons arrived, soothing the tired workers from the day.
In such a noisy environment, Yu Man seemed to be infected by the smell of fireworks, that fresh feeling, that is alive.

"The corn and pork wontons are ready. Here are the chili oil and vinegar." Yu Man brought the wontons to the table and gave the office worker a friendly smile.
The office worker's dull eyes, which had been dulled by overtime work, regained their spirits. "Miss, you..."
