But when it comes to matters of the heart, Uncle Li believes that parents should not interfere too much. As long as the two young people like each other, he will not force Wencai and Qingke to break up the couple just because he likes Shumei or because his deceased partner liked Shumei.
After everything was talked out, Uncle Li, Wenxue, and Shumei began to talk and laugh while eating and drinking again.
It took Wencai a long time to return to the house.
When Shumei saw Wencai coming back in a daze, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks, got up from her chair and walked over to Wencai.
"Wencai, how's it going? Have you explained everything clearly?"
Wencai lowered his eyelids and looked at the familiar face in front of him.
Shumei’s smile is so heartwarming, and her eyes, full of emotion, make people feel pity.
Am I really in love with this woman?
Wencai asked himself this question over and over again in his heart. His heart suddenly felt so confused, so confused that his heart was pounding and he had difficulty breathing.
"We broke up."
Wencai didn't know what was wrong with him, and he couldn't help but blurt out the breakup.
"Break up? Why break up? Didn't you explain it clearly? I...I...I will go and help you explain it right now. I will definitely help you get Miss Shang back."
When Shumei heard Wencai say they broke up, she was shocked and couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe that two lovers would go their separate ways just because of a slap in the face.
Shumei's memories of childhood included watching adults quarrel and fight, sometimes even chasing each other around the village with kitchen knives. Yet, in the end, those people still lived peaceful lives, so she was skeptical of Wencai's words.
She insisted that Wencai must be tongue-tied and hadn't explained clearly, and she self-righteously wanted to help Wencai explain, and as she spoke, she hurried to chase him downstairs.
Wencai quickly grabbed Shumei's hand and stopped her from going downstairs.
"Eat! I'm hungry."
Wencai pulled Shumei to sit on the chair, picked up the bowl as if nothing had happened, and stuffed rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls.
Seeing Wencai acting so abnormally, everyone didn't dare to ask any more questions. They all ate in silence, and the atmosphere was particularly depressing.
Shumei didn't even bother eating, her eyes fixed on Wencai. She was puzzled. Did Wencai and Qingke really break up? Shouldn't a breakup be very sad? Why was Wencai so calm and had such a good appetite?
Wencai kept his head down and didn't dare to raise his head. He was afraid that if he raised his head, his eyes would meet Shumei's. He was afraid to see Shumei's gaze, and he was afraid that he had truly verified Qingke's statement.
After they had lunch, Wencai hurriedly said goodbye to Uncle Li and did not stay at Uncle Li's house for long. It was not that Wencai did not want to spend more time with Uncle Li, but he wanted to go home alone to calm down and sort out his messy thoughts.
Along the way, Wencai didn't say a word to Shumei, and Shumei didn't want to disturb Wencai, so the two of them returned home in silence.
As soon as Wencai got home, he ran to his room and fell asleep.
Shumei thought that Wencai had drunk some wine at noon, so she prepared some sobering soup for him and brought it to his room.
Wencai lay with his back to the door, his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. When he heard Shumei knocking on the door and then entering, he deliberately closed his eyes.
"Wencai, I made you some hangover soup. Get up and drink some! It will make your stomach feel better. Wencai, Wencai."
Shumei called out a few times, but Wencai didn't respond. She put down the bowl of soup in her hand and gently shook Wencai's arm with her hand.
Wencai didn't want to wake up. He was afraid to see Shumei, afraid to hear Shumei's voice, afraid that he would become more and more dependent on Shumei. He tried hard to turn a deaf ear to her and to stop her voice and smile from appearing in his mind.
Shumei was still screaming beside him, and Wencai forced himself to get angry and sit up from the bed.
"I'm not deaf, is it necessary to keep calling like this?"
Wencai spoke at a very loud volume with a blank expression on his face, as if he was very angry.
Shumei didn't just leave the room because he yelled at her. She understood Wencai; he must be in a bad mood after his recent breakup, so she was just being his punching bag for free, letting him cool down. She picked up the hangover soup on the bedside table and handed it to Wencai.
"You drank quite a bit this afternoon. Drink the hangover soup before you go to sleep! This will help your stomach and head feel better."
Why? Why? Why are you so nice to me? I just yelled at you, why are you still so humble and considerate of me?
Wencai stared at Shumei's familiar face, feeling mixed emotions.
He hardened his heart and slapped the hangover soup to the ground.
"Get out, get out..."
He roared with all his strength, pointing his finger in the direction of his door. His expression became a little ferocious and his eyes were a little evasive.
Shumei was terrified and at a loss for words. How could Wencai have become his old self again in just one morning? So arrogant and unreasonable, so self-centered.
Shumei didn't say a word. She picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor with her bare hands and walked out of the room quietly.
Wencai looked at Shumei's departing back, feeling uncomfortable and scratching his head desperately.
Shumei believed that Wencai became so abnormal because he could not accept the reality of the breakup. She did not ignore Wencai just because he was angry with her.
She ran downstairs, filled another bowl of soup for Wencai, brought it back to the room, and placed it on the bedside table. At this moment, Wencai had already lay back on his side in bed.
"I've left the hangover soup here, drink it yourself! I'll go buy some food and make you something nourishing tonight. If you're really bored, go see a movie or go shopping. If you're bored alone, I can go with you."
