Chapter 6 Plain Noodles

Today is a beautiful sunny day.

But I just got... not-so-happy news.

It was Lao Dou who told me.

He has been secretly drinking these weeks.Today I could tell by the color of his face that he drank again, so I said, don’t drink again next time...if you drink again, sleep on the sofa...and so on.

He cried after hearing it.

"Shuwen... woo woo woo..." He cried like a bankrupt and drunk businessman.

He said I have cancer.

To be honest, I was a little confused when I heard the news.But when I leave home to go out and relax, I actually feel that death is a kind of relief for me.

Heh, maybe it's because I've been suppressing what I've been looking forward to for too long.

I came to the noodle restaurant where Zhao Ying and I had dinner after the college entrance examination.

"Boss, have a bowl of plain noodles."

"Okay! Sister, wait a moment."

Then I saw him sprinkle the noodles in the basket, put them in the water, and watch him carefully shake the crystal clear noodles into the bowl.

He brought the noodles to me. The chewy noodles and the delicious soup blended into one, and wisps of aroma fell on my face and turned into tiny drops of water.

In 2011, Zhao Ying and Wang Shuwen were 24 years old, and Zheng Jiachuan was 25 years old.

Zhao Ying transferred to the university and is studying dentistry. Wang Shuwen became an illustrator and cartoonist based on his love for comics. Zheng Jiachuan took a graduate degree and inherited her grandmother, Dan Luojun's club.

They spent the last New Year's Eve together, but after that, they haven't been together for three months.During these three months, the three of them had their own lives and discovered their own insights.These realizations then formed a short fuse that led to the battle to split the One.

……

On January 2011, 1, Wang Shuwen arrived in the UK with the organization, and the double-decker bus they rented took them to the seaport.

"President...you are so kind to us!" The joyful person in the team—the funny man who always wears a floral shirt, hugged their president "affectionately" in his arms.

"Hey!" The president hurriedly broke free and shouted, "Don't come near me!"

Then someone booed and said, "Aren't you a good match!"

Everyone began to tease the inexperienced and easily shy president in various ways.The small team suddenly became lively.

"Shuwen, I'll help you carry the box upstairs later." Wang Shuwen suddenly heard this sentence coming from behind.

She turned to look at him and refused, "No, thank you."

"But...but..."

"No, I can do it myself."

Wang Shuwen watched the man leave in frustration, but could not express anything.

Because of the troubles of entanglement, she couldn't let go of her mind like others.

It happened to be the time for socializing in the afternoon and mid-night, the sun turned bright red, and everyone's shadows overlapped sparsely but separated continuously, experiencing the taste of meeting and parting on the sandy ground.Wang Shuwen and his colleagues packed their luggage together, then walked to the beach alone, took off their sandals, and sat casually on a dry place.

The fiery sun reminded her of fire in a furnace.

That kind of flame is like a beast, like a cold knife, like a huge vacuum cleaner, devouring and destroying anyone or anything close to it mercilessly... People are amazed at its colorful charm, but they don't wonder why It can occupy the space it should have with its high temperature, and it doesn't even allow itself to take a step forward, because a small step can turn it into ashes and smoke out.

"What's wrong with me?" She asked herself but couldn't answer.

Shuwen, don't panic, you're just dying.

You attached your soul to a letter you mailed to your senior sister, but she killed it.

You just talked about the future with her happily again and again.

Accept whatever she has to say.

She first abandoned painting to practice medicine, and then had an affair with Zheng Jiachuan.

Two buckets of scalding boiling water poured directly into your belly from your delicate lips.

You were hit and stimulated, and you even boldly wrote to her, asking her whether you should be a friend, family member, or lover to her.

She never wrote to you again.

Recently, you browsed an anti-gay forum on the Internet.They call you anti-human, anti-social, homosexual dogs, and beasts!You should not have human rights in their eyes.

You wouldn't care about it normally, but this time you couldn't let it go.

You're angry, you're sad, you want to rise up, you want to...

You suddenly realize that you haven't felt as deeply in love with someone as you used to for weeks.

……

February 2011, 2.Zheng Jiachuan and his friend Dou Kun watched the heavy rain outside the window while boiling wine.

"Jia Chuan, how are you and Zhao Ying doing recently?"

Zheng Jiachuan glanced at him and said, "No progress has been made recently..."

"Hey, Jia Chuan, have you confessed yet?"

"I have not yet."

"Hey? Didn't you say you would confess on February 2 last time?" Dou Kun said while sipping his wine.

"Dou Kun...Although this is very unmanly, but when I wanted to confess, I felt...she has no personal affection for me."

"Brother, haha, you don't have to be so old-fashioned when you talk. Regarding 'children's affair', it must be cultivated. At this time, men should take the initiative."

Dou Kun picked up the small cup and said, "Isn't it good to be free now? Come, let's have a drink!"

Zheng Jiachuan clinked glasses with him and said, "You say that because you have no one you like."

"It's a little girlish of you to say that."

"Does that mean you are girlish?" Zheng Jiachuan pouted and said.

"Man, if it was a guy, he'd say, 'I want her.' Instead of arguing with me here."

"Jia Chuan," Dou Kun said jokingly, "If you don't confess, maybe she will fall in love with someone else."

……

February 2011, 2.Zhao Ying put on a white coat and pushed open the door of the laboratory.

After about half an hour, she was preparing a certain medicine when she heard a loud noise.

Her eyes widened.

A person was at the experimental table ten meters away from her... his face was completely changed.

She and her roommates found a place downstairs in the laboratory and sat down.

"Zhao Ying...I feel like I was dreaming just now."

Zhao Ying sighed and said, "It's really scary..."

"I can't imagine what will happen to my relatives and boyfriend if I die... Zhao Ying, from now on... I will definitely protect my life in the future."

"……Um."

"I must go home this afternoon to visit my parents...Zhao Ying, how about you?"

"I don't have any plans. Hehe... You also know that I have no relatives, so I still have a little resistance to this."

"Uh... sorry, I forgot about you just now..."

"I didn't mean to blame you." Zhao Ying said kindly.

"But... But I think, besides your relatives, you have another important person, don't you? I was in the dormitory before, and I often saw you writing letters with a happy expression~ it should be written to the same person, right?"

Zhao Ying saw his roommate sizing her up with gossip, and her cheeks blushed unconsciously.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask any more," the roommate said without further questioning, "Zhao Ying, I'm going home today, so we won't go out for dinner together."

"Goodbye then."

"Goodbye."

Zhao Ying put his hand in his pocket and walked towards the cafeteria.But after walking for a while, she looked back and saw that there was no one behind her.

She looked up at the cafeteria in the distance, then turned and walked towards the library.

The author has something to say: "Ying'er, you can only choose one of me and Shuwen."

"Jiachuan." Zhao Ying quickly took the words.

"I don't want to choose anyone, so stop talking."
