When I was about to get off work, I received another call from Xiao Wei.
But when I answered the call, it was Xiao Wei’s mother’s voice that came from the other end of the phone: “Xiao Feng, are you busy now?”
I was stunned for a moment, then replied: "I'm not busy, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing important. I'm just grateful to you these days. I can't leave the hospital yet. I'll ask Weiwei to treat you to a meal. Do you have time?"
Xiao Wei has not mentioned eating with me once, but I have always declined. Unexpectedly, she actually asked her mother to do work for me.
I had no choice but to agree and said, "Okay, I'm going to get off work soon. I'll come to the hospital."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Xiaofeng."
"fine."
After hanging up the phone, I packed up and left the company.
I took a car directly to West China Hospital and came to the ward where Xiao Wei's mother was.
When I arrived at the door of the ward, I saw Xiao Wei feeding her mother with a bowl of porridge.
Looking at her meticulous and considerate look, I suddenly fell into a trance again.
I have indeed seen a change in Xiao Wei these days, which I would have never imagined before.
In the past, she wasn't that good, really not that good.
Until Xiao Wei's mother found me at the door, she shouted to me: "Xiao Feng, you are here."
I then walked into the ward with a smile on my face, and Xiao Wei turned to me and smiled slightly.
I leaned down and asked softly: "Mom, are you feeling better?"
"Well, it's much better. This big hospital is just different. The consumption is too high. I think the daily consumption is tens of thousands."
"Mom, don't worry about the medical expenses. I've already paid them."
"You handed it in?!" Xiao Wei looked at me in surprise and said in surprise.
I nodded and replied: "I paid the fee on the day of mom's surgery."
"Xiao Feng, why is this good? We can't use your money." Xiao Wei's mother said hurriedly.
Xiao Wei also said: "Yes, Chen Feng, I still have money here. I will pay you back whatever you pay."
Xiao Wei said, picked up the bag and prepared to count the money for me.
I waved my hand and said, "No need, just consider it my opinion."
Xiao Wei insisted, "No, no, we can't use your money. You tell me how much you paid, and I'll give it back to you."
I smiled bitterly in my heart, it would have been great if you could have been like this two years ago.
What a pity! People always have to wait until they lose something before they know how to regret it.
I didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so I simply said to her: "Stop talking, if you insist on giving it to me again, I'll leave now."
Xiao Wei looked at me very embarrassed and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Chen Feng. I have done so many things to sorry for you before, but now..."
Before she could continue, I interrupted: "Let's not talk about this anymore."
Xiao Wei's mother also sighed and said: "Wei Wei, I just said that Xiaofeng has a good heart. You just didn't listen to me before. It would be better if you didn't get divorced."
Xiao Wei also lowered her head and remained silent.
After a long while, Xiao Wei packed up her things and said to me, "Then let's go out."
After saying that, she said to her mother: "Mom, you need to rest first. If anything happens, call the nurse."
"I'm fine, you go ahead, go ahead."
After I also told her mother to have a good rest, Xiao Wei and I left the hospital together.
She asked me: "What do you want to eat?"
"I can do either."
“Are there any specialties in Chengdu?”
"Giant Panda."
Xiao Wei smiled and said: "I said food, but giant pandas can't eat it."
I also felt quite embarrassed, so I touched my nose and said with a smile: "There are a lot of food in Chengdu, such as Bobo chicken, skewers, maocai, and all kinds of delicacies."
"Then let's go eat skewers. How about that?"
"Anything is fine."
So Xiao Wei found a skewers shop with good ratings on Meituan, and we took a taxi there.
It was still time at this time, and there were not many people in the Chuan Chuan shop. We found a seat by the window and sat across from each other, and then ordered a medium-spicy red soup pot base.
After taking the dishes and putting them in the pot to cook, Xiao Wei asked me, "Would you like some wine?"
I shook my head and said, "No need, I drank a little too much last night."
"What water do you want to drink? I'll get it for you."
"Just Coke."
Xiao Wei nodded, then hurriedly went to get me a bottle of Coke, and she herself got a can of Jiaduobao.
She has really changed a lot now. If I asked her to help me get things before, I could only rely on dreams.
Now she actually took the initiative to help me get it, and even helped me unscrew the bottle cap.
I said to her: "You don't have to be so polite to me, it makes me feel very uncomfortable."
Xiao Wei lowered her head and murmured: "I feel that I was sorry for you before, so I will try my best to make it up to you now."
"It's all in the past, don't mention it again."
With that said, I took the chopsticks and said to her: "Eat it, the beef should be ready."
"You eat more." She helped me put all the beef picks in front of me.
I stopped being polite to her and started eating without saying anything. For me, this was just a matter of course.
Xiao Wei ate it nonchalantly and said to me: "I have thought about it, and I will wait until my mother is discharged from the hospital and return to Chongqing to work."
"Well, this is best."
"What about you? Are you ready to stay in Chengdu?"
"It depends on the situation, we don't know yet."
Xiao Wei fell silent again, and after a while she asked me intentionally or unintentionally: "Have you never thought about finding another one?"
"No." I replied decisively.
Then, she was speechless again.
I just deliberately didn't want to talk to her about this. I just wanted to finish eating quickly and get over it.
Halfway through the meal, Xiao Wei suddenly left. After a while, she came back with two bowls of brown sugar ice powder.
She placed one of the bowls in front of me and said with a smile: "I just saw it when I passed by. I heard that the ice powder in Chengdu is all handmade. Let's try it and see if it tastes good."
"Thank you."
"Thank you for what you are doing. How about you try it?"
I picked up the spoon and took a bite. Xiao Wei asked me with expectant eyes: "How is it?"
"It's quite refreshing." I nodded and replied.
"Then you eat more. If it's not enough, I'll give you this bowl."
Seeing her deliberate attempt to please me, I smiled and said to her: "Xiao Wei, you really don't need to do this to me. You can eat it yourself."
"Oh." She seemed a little disappointed and responded, then lowered her head and started eating.
I didn't talk to her anymore, I kept my head down and ate by myself. Compared with the guests at the surrounding tables, our place was relatively deserted.
I didn't want to have dinner with her in the first place. If her mother hadn't called me, I really wouldn't have come.
But this is also the last time. I can sit until I don't hate her, but I can't and still be friends with her.
I don’t know why, but I feel dizzy, as if the hangover from last night has lasted until now.
Xiao Wei seemed to sense something was wrong with me, so she asked me: "Chen Feng, what's wrong with you? Is it cold?"
I shook my head vigorously and said, "Maybe it's because there have been a lot of things lately and my head is a little dizzy."
"So are you okay?"
"fine."
I put down my chopsticks because I was getting more and more dizzy. I didn't drink, so why did I feel more drunk than last night.
"How about we stop eating and let's go out for a walk." Xiao Wei suggested.
I nodded and wanted to stand up, but my legs were a bit unresponsive.
I staggered, and Xiao Wei rushed over to help me, and asked me anxiously: "Are you okay?"
