Chapter 2: The Grace of a Meal

I don’t know how long I had been sleeping on the bench, but suddenly a bone-deep coldness passed from my body to my brain. I shivered and sat up suddenly.

Due to the violent movement, there was a sharp pain in my brain, and I suddenly lost all sleep. I patted my head and stood up, and saw that the thin clothes on my body were already soaked.

I subconsciously looked around and saw a car parked at the intersection with a red light ahead, and a large puddle of water on the roadside in front of me was still rippling chaotically under the reflection of the streetlight.

The cause of the matter was obvious. A ball of anger burst out of my heart, as if all the unlucky emotions I had held in my heart tonight suddenly found a breakthrough, and I said to myself: Even if you are unlucky to hit the muzzle of my gun, today

No matter who you are, I want you to look good.

With evil thoughts rising in his mind, he staggered toward the car waiting at the red light at the intersection.

When I got to the car, I smashed the door glass hard and yelled with a weak tongue: "Get off here..."

However, despite my beating and shouting for a long time, there was no response from inside the car. Not only did no one come out, but the window glass did not roll down at all.

Seeing this situation, people didn't want to talk to me at all. I couldn't help but get very angry and knocked on the glass harder, but the people in the car still had no intention of getting out.

I'm going crazy. If I had a hammer in my hand right now, I would smash this iron shell to pieces, but now I can't even find a stick, let alone a hammer.

In desperation, I actually took off one of my shoes and prepared to use it as a weapon. I really don't believe that my size 44 leather shoes can't make you submit.

But at this moment, a harsh engine roar suddenly sounded, and then the car swooped out. I was caught off guard and stumbled onto the road.

When I got up, I only saw the taillight of a car disappearing away. I angrily threw the shoe in my hand in the direction of the car, but it couldn't hit the car that was already far away.

I wanted to vent my grievances, but I didn't expect that not only did it not vent out, but it added another thing that blocked my mind, making me angry and even more depressed.

By the time I picked up my shoes and got home, it was already past three o'clock in the morning, and the room was quiet. Lin Wei was indeed gone, and only my clothes were still hanging in the closet, which seemed a bit empty.

She also took away all her cosmetics from the bathroom. The room that was originally crowded now looked empty.

Although I know that I do not love her, and her sudden departure will not have any impact on my life, I cannot deny that I have become accustomed to living with her.

This feeling is like a stray cat you adopted. When you raise it, it leaves you. You won't look for it, but you will feel a little lost in your heart.

I sat on the sofa for a while, feeling empty in my heart, as if I had lost a big wallet that I couldn't find.

I took off my wet clothes, wiped my hair with a towel and didn't bother to wash myself. I lay on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and fell asleep again.

A burst of cell phone ringing woke me up, and I tried my best to open my sore eyes. A ray of sunlight from the window shined through the gap in the curtains into the wall of the room, making me dizzy.

It seems like the weather is good today.

I propped myself up and fumbled for my phone that I had thrown away somewhere. But as soon as I sat up, I felt dizzy, and then I felt a splitting headache.

I subconsciously touched my forehead and was shocked. It was horribly hot, and my throat was as hot as fire. It was extremely difficult to swallow, and my body felt so limp that it felt like it was about to fall apart.

I knew it was bad. It seemed that my body, which had never been sick for thousands of years, finally couldn't resist it this time. I couldn't help but cursed in my heart again the bad guy who drove without eyes last night.

I finally found the phone and hung up without checking who was calling. In this state, I really can’t do anything.

No matter what, even saying a word is a bit overwhelming.

But just after I hung up the phone and lay down again, the phone rang again. I covered my ears with the quilt, but it couldn't stop the irritating music from entering my brain. I had to fumble for the phone again to see which bastard was so annoying.

Li Liang's name was displayed on the phone, and I knew without thinking that this guy must be urging me to go to work. Sure enough, as soon as I pressed the answer button, I heard a series of questions coming from the phone before I could say anything.

"Old Wei, what did you do? What time is it now and why haven't you arrived at the company yet? Didn't I tell you that the new president will go to work on his first day today! How dare you be late for me?"

I took a breath through my stuffy nose and said, "Lao Li, I can't go today. I'm going to die. Please give me a leave. Then the boss can come whenever he wants. It's none of my business."

I spoke feebly, and even coughed violently a few times on purpose to show the authenticity of what I said.

Sure enough, there was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and then he asked doubtfully: "Really? Is it that serious? Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, why would I joke with you about my own health? If you don't believe me, come here and take a look, and take me to the hospital by the way."

Li Liang finally believed what I said, and he sighed with a long tail from the receiver, and then said: "Okay, you go to the hospital by yourself! I will take care of the company's affairs for you."

I was about to say a few words of thanks when I heard Li Liang say urgently: "I won't tell you anymore, the new president has come to the company, and the welcome ceremony is about to begin..." Then there was a blind tone of beeping.

I smiled bitterly and put down my phone, thinking that there was a new president here. It was like meeting some big shot. These people were really pretentious.

Li Liang is my college classmate. After we graduated, we joined the real estate company City A branch called Henderson. In the past two years, he has been promoted to the management and became the project department with his dedicated and diligent attitude towards work.

The project manager, although his position is not high, is highly recognized by the leadership.

On the other hand, I am still a project planner, so Li Liang has become my immediate boss. This is why I can be late or absent at the company at will. Li Liang will always find a way to solve the trouble I cause.

"Who makes you my brother?" I always say this when he nags in front of me because of my troubles.

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the time and saw that it was already close to ten o'clock. I barely supported my limp body and got up to get dressed and wash up.

While brushing my teeth, I retched like a pregnant woman, and my throat felt as dry as if it was about to burst. I wanted to drink a cup of hot water, only to find that the kettle was empty. I didn't bother to heat it anymore, so I poured a few sips of cold water from the faucet.

Fang felt that the dryness in his throat was slightly relieved.

After dragging my heavy body and taking a taxi to the hospital, I realized that there were so many patients in the world. This made me feel a little incredible as I had almost never been to a hospital.

I remember the last time I got an injection was when I was grazing cattle in the mountains and was stung by a few wasps. My mother took me to a small clinic to get two antidote injections. It was already ten or twenty years ago.

thing.

After waiting in a series of queues from registration to doctor consultation to payment and medicine collection, when the beautiful nurse lady finally inserted the needle into my blood vessel, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon. I let out a long sigh and collapsed.

Lying slumped on the hospital bed, looking at the rising bubbles in the infusion bottle, I thought that my life was finally back.

When I finally calmed down, hunger came immediately. It’s no wonder that I haven’t eaten a sip of food or a sip of water since this morning. But when I looked up at the dazzling array of bottles on the infusion rack, I felt desperate and thought about asking the nurse.

The lady helped to get a glass of boiling water but in the end she still didn't have the nerve to ask.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down, wanting to sleep to relieve the hunger in my stomach, but the constant gurgling in my stomach reminded me of it like a protest.

I reluctantly closed my eyes for a few minutes and finally gave up.

This is an unrealistic idea. When I was bored, I took out my mobile phone and took a photo of the hanging bottle on the shelf and sent it to Weibo with the following sentence: Whoever can give me a meal, I will live with you for the rest of my life!

Just after I sent this post, I suddenly wondered if Lin Wei would see this message. If she saw it, would she come to see me? Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little pretentious.

If Lin Wei saw it, would she think I was trying to cause trouble? Wouldn't she laugh at me? Thinking about it this way, I felt it was even more inappropriate, so I quickly deleted this post.

However, my stomach was still feeling hungry, making me tossing and turning, restless and almost in ecstasy.

Just when I was forcing myself to close my eyes and count the sheep to more than 600, the door of the ward was pushed open. I thought the nurse was coming to change the dressing and I didn't open my eyes, but after a while I didn't hear the sound of changing the dressing.

The sound of ping ping ping ping pinging pill bottles.

Instead, I smelled the aroma of food, and I sat up from the bed as if on a nervous reflex. When I raised my eyes, I couldn't help but be startled. Of course, the person who came was not Lin Wei, but Annie.

I asked her in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Anne glanced at me and then turned back to take the food out of the thermos bucket and said, "Come here and let me make this your promise!" After saying that, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. I was surprised that my Weibo update was seen by Annie within a minute of posting it.

I smiled sarcastically and suddenly thought of something and said, "No, didn't you go to Zhangjiajie to shoot locations for clients? Why are you back so soon?"

"What could be more important than my brother's life-long event! If the sanitation aunt outside was kind enough to give you some food, wouldn't you have to devote yourself to them?" Annie continued to tease me with a half-smile.

I glanced out the window at the sanitation aunt who was sitting on the curb and resting. She was speechless for a while. It took her a long time to hold back a serious look on her face and said: "Don't make trouble, don't make fun of the hardworking people. I'm serious, why are you coming back so soon?"

Why are you here? Didn't you just go there the day before yesterday? Didn't you say it would take a week? Could it be that the client was dissatisfied with your professionalism and kicked you away? "

Anne looked at me with disdain and said: "Come on, my technology is not only top-notch in the industry, but at least professional-level. How can the customer be dissatisfied? There is something wrong with my equipment, so I came back to pick it up."

Yes, do you think I came here specifically to save you, a guy who is always ready to commit himself to me? Eat it quickly, it will get cold later!"

Hearing her words, I suddenly felt my face turn red, and then I brought my thoughts back to the food. At this moment, the food on the small table has been placed. She is indeed my best friend. One box of rice and two boxes of vegetables.

A scrambled egg with tomatoes and a braised pig's trotters are my favorites in life.

Looking at the delicious and delicious food on the table, I felt my mouth watering. I hurriedly lowered my head and picked up the chopsticks to shovel the food into my mouth.

After a few mouthfuls of food, I immediately felt that the exhaustion caused by hunger was gone. It would be no exaggeration to say that I felt like I was reborn.

Annie looked at my eating look and said angrily: "Brother, can you slow down a little? Look at your eating look, don't choke to death before you even commit yourself to me!" After saying that, she picked up the spoon and filled the thermos bucket for me.

The soup in it.

With a big piece of pig's trotter wrapped in my mouth, I raised my head and said vaguely: "If someone else brings me food, I should really consider it, you, forget it!" After saying that, he laughed a few times and lowered his head.

Keep fighting.

Anne said with a slightly provocative tone: "I'm afraid you wouldn't have the courage even if I wanted to!"

"Come on, I have always regarded you as my good buddy. In my heart, you are a man, and I don't want to commit myself to a man!" I said teasingly, without looking up and she continued to eat fiercely.

Annie didn't speak anymore but turned to look out the window. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and turned around and asked, "Hey? Brother, where is your girlfriend Lin Wei? Why doesn't she show up when you are about to commit yourself to someone else?"
