OLD FOES (3)

…….



I got home, wearingly leaned on the couch. At this time I felt as if the entire energy of my body had been siphoned off.

Why did I encounter him again, the world is so vast then why did we still end up meeting? I did not want to see him ever again in my life then why did fate force us to come face to face once more? I obviously had forgotten him then how come, when I saw him in the office today, my mind drew a complete blank?

Why did he call me “Yan Yan.” Exactly what right did he have?

 I felt a little cold; autumn had come that’s why the weather had turned chilly. I looked on the floor, on the autumn sunshine spread over the living room carpet. I could vaguely remember, under the beautiful autumn sunshine he was standing, tall and erect. Smiling, he called: “Yan Yan.”

But now, what right did he have?

All of a sudden I felt extremely lethargic, perhaps. Whether I was feeling too tired or just too sleepy, I was not sure.

I simply lay down on the couch and soon fell into a deep slumber.



………......


 

......…Drowsily, I heard someone opened the door and then shut it, followed by the sound of footsteps coming closer. At this point of time, I had already woken up but I did not open my eyes. I did not want to get up from the couch.

Jiang Li approached me and whispered: “This fool.”

I ignored him and continued to snooze on the couch. Ah, good dreams. In the dreams I would not have to face the messy reality of my life.

Then, suddenly I felt a bit of a weight on my body. Turned out Jiang li displaying a rare act of kindness had covered my body with his jacket.

Rubbing my eyes I sat up. Seeing him still standing in front of the couch, I slowly muttered: “Oh, you are back.”

Jiang Li saw that I was up so he immediately started yelling at me angrily: “do you know what you have done? Without intimating me you left your office early. Moreover you did not even pick your phone, causing me to take a useless round trip to your office.”

I looked down “Oh” in a very small voice said: “I am sorry.”

My attitude must have really shocked Jiang Li. So he forgot about rebuking me and instead bent down. He lifted my face and carefully observed it for a minute. Surprised, he said: “Why are you looking so dull and lifeless?”

I dismissively turned my head away and said: “It’s none of your business.”

Jiang Li stood up. He folded his arms, saying: “Then I should ask something that is my business, have you cooked dinner for me?”

I shook my head; after all I just woke up. Jiang Li frowned and furiously said:  “Xiao Guan Yan, you are really too much.”

I was about to open my mouth to say something when unexpectedly the ‘rivers’ of the tears started flowing out and I could not hold them in.
