Jiang Xiao Shuai came to visit Wu Suowei two days before he discharged.
Jiang Xiao Shuai hasn't show up for a week since he was busy with his work. This week, Wu Suowei didn't know how many of his brain cell died. Thinking of Jiang Xiao Shuai, he wanted him to come visits him, perhaps Jiang Xiao could talk some sense into his mind, and unexpectedly wouldn't want to see Chi Cheng again.
"You seem to be gaining some weights." Jiang Xiao Shuai said.
The expression on Wu Suowei's face changed, "Really?"
He hurriedly picked up the mirror on the table, and examine his face thoroughly, he also touched his belly, to see if there were any layers of meat stacked. Because of the painful weight loss process, Wu Suowei was quite concerned about his body. Now he couldn't even look at his old photos, afraid that he would become careless and gain the weight back.
Jiang Xiao Shuai grinned, "You are this scared? It's not that obvious, maybe I've mistaken."
Wu Suowei pinched Jiang Xiao Shuai's arm, and sighed.
"Lying in the hospital in October, my body became unfit, and my stamina depleted. When I discharged from the hospital, I have to go to the gym every day to train this flabby body to tight as before."
"For whom are you going to flaunt your fit body?"
Jiang Xiao Shuai simply asked a question, and he didn't imply anything, but Wu Suowei was so sensitive, a bit of trouble on a jiling. Always feel that Xi-Shuai is deliberately said to him to listen to himself again when the response to become particularly cautious.
"There's only two of us at the clinic, who else can I flaunt?"
Jiang Xiao Shuai ignored him, and asked: "What is your plan after discharge?"
Wu Suowei's heart became heavy again, my plan...Does it mean that I must make myself clear with everything? I'm in trouble, the topic is getting extreme, this must be to deliberately force me to dead end!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiao Shuai continued, "You have sold all the snakes, and gained the profit, isn't it time to open another shop?"
Wu Suowei felt relief, "That's what this is all about!"
"What do you think I'm talking about?" Jiang Xiao Shuai was puzzled.
Wu Suowei hastily replied, "Nothing, I was distracted just now."
Jiang Xiao Shuai somewhat felt Wu Suowei was acting weird.
"The business license has been approved, the displayed shop had also been rented, the job vacancies information had been sent out, and just waiting for the opening." Wu Suowei said.
Jiang Xiao Shuai unexpectedly said, "Great! Everything went smoothly even though you are admitted to the hospital!"
Wu Suowei inwardly patted his head, he smiled modestly, but said nothing modest.
"I might not be able to move but I still think about it."
Was him the one who did everything? It's all taken cared by Chi Cheng! Precisely said, Gangzi was the one who ran east and west, and been busy with the shop. Wu Suowei also gave his opinion, bossily kept an eye on the work, moved around slightly, so that person could see and execute the job.
"Where's the shop?" Jiang Xiao Shuai inquired.
Wu Suowei answered, "Eastern Zone CBD."
[T/N: [1] Central Business District in Beijing, high-end business district.]
Jiang Xiao Shuai was surprised again, "the rent for that area is high!"
"Isn't that high, I rented through an acquaintance."
Jiang Xiao Shuai highly doubted him, "You have an acquaintance there?"
Wu Suowei cleared his throat awkwardly and hummed a response.
"Who?"
He wanted to avoid answering his question, but Jiang Xiao Shuai kept on pushing him and he had to tell the name.
"Chi Cheng."
Jiang Xiao Shuai clenched his teeth, "why don't you directly say he sponsors everything?"
"Who said so?" Wu Suowei tried to refute, "I used my money."
His words really couldn't be trusted, no wonder Jiang Xiao Shuai would interrogate him.
"How much?"
Wu Suowei looked out at the window, feigned calmness and answered: "500 RMB."
Jiang Xiao Shuai asked again: "500 RMB per days or 500 RMB per months?"
500 RMB per days wasn't that much for such a big display shop, except for his parents, no one dares to pay that much for him. If it was 500 RMB per months, that would be a total joke.
After a long silence, Wu Suowei opened his mouth.
"Three years."
Jiang Xiao Shuai touched the cedar table and laughed, "Can you stop joking?"
Wu Suowei began to ponder again, he felt Jiang Xiao Shuai wasn't laughing at what he just said, he was also laughing at something else. Sure enough, his sly heart felt so guilty that he wanted to defend himself.
Jiang Xiao Shuai didn't smile and asked him seriously.
"So, you're going to live there?"
"Not really," Wu Suowei said, "still want to live at the clinic,"
He slightly regretted the words he just said, Chi Cheng always patrol around that area, wouldn't Jiang Xiao Shuai think it will be easier for me to contact him?
However Jiang Xiao Shuai just asked him: "Don't you think it's a little far to commute back and forth?"
"I bought a car." "Wu Suowei said.
Jiang Xiao Shuai's eyes brightened, "What car?"
"Imported Audi."
"I remember the car cost more than 600,000 RMB."
Wu Suowei told him, "I bought a second-hand car."
"How much did you get?" Jiang Xiao Shuai asked again.
"60,000 RMB."
Jiang Xiao Shuai's eyes rounded, "Dage, I remembered that car just came out last year. Who did you buy it from? Let him sell one more to me." Once he said that, Jiang Xiao Shuai immediately went silent, that question was totally uncalled for!
Wu Suowei saw Jiang Xiao Shuai went silent, his heart inexplicably tightened, Wu Suowei felt he was hiding something in his heart.
Jiang Xiao Shuai looked at Wu Suowei, and found his eyes moved a little faster than usual.
"Hey, I think..."
Wu Suowei fiercely defended himself, "what?"
Jiang Xiao Shuai looked at Wu Suowei for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I also want to ask you, what's wrong with you?!!" Wu Suowei threw the blame to others first, "If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush, and deliberately let me anxious."
Jiang Xiao Shuai was even more confused, "How did I beat around the bush?"
Wu Suowei couldn't take it anymore and threw out everything in his heart.
"Don't you want to remind me that everything is over? You want me to draw a line from him? Fine! Now I will tell you clearly, everything went according to the plan, you can rest assured, "
Jiang Xiao Shuai let Wu Suowei "poured everything out" and came back to his sense.
"I said...Dage , have you woken up yet?"
He checked Wu Suowei's eyes to see if this guy had a sleep walking disease!
"The purpose of your coming here isn't to make sure I break up with him as soon as possible?"
Jiang Xiao Shuai slapped his forehead and didn't know what to say.
"Are you going to break up with him?"
This sentence startled Wu Suowei for a while.
"Don't you want to say that?"
"What did I want to say?" Jiang Xiao Shuai laughed, "It had come to this, what are you waiting for, why you aren't with him?"
Jiang Xiao Shuai's attitude not only surprised Wu Suowei, but also made him more confused.
"Why do I want to be with him?"
These days Wu Suowei kept on thinking of this problem and haven't been able to think of a reason to convince himself.
"Why don't you want to be with him?"
Jiang Xiao Shuai gave him opposite idea, he felt that there was no reason for Wu Suowei not to be with Chi Cheng.
Wu Suowei didn't even think about it and said, "Didn't we have a plan? I hook up with him just to tear him apart from Yue Yue, and I will leave when they broke up. The objective had been achieved, therefore according to the plan I have to...."
"What do you plan to do?" Jiang Xiao Shuai strongly interrupted, "as long as you are happy!"
Wu Suowei looked stubborn, "This is not something that I should be happy, the point is, I like women! I must fall in love and marry a girl. Both of us are men and we shouldn't fool around!"
Jiang Xiao Shuai got annoyed at Wu Suowei, and slapped his forehead, made sure his emotion was under control.
"Then why are you so engrossed and excited when you were fooling around with him before? You ask yourself, you don't feel anything toward him?"
Wu Suowei startled and said: "let's put aside my feeling and simply talk about this issue, I fool around with him before because I have a protective barrier around my heart, I clearly know what I'm doing. Now when I'm with him, I don't know what I'm doing, I can't find the right reason!"
Jiang Xiao Shuai realized, no matter how Wu Suowei changed, he still couldn't shake off his "mindset".
"Do you think your barrier is still there?"
Those words directly pierced right at Wu Suowei's heart.
Jiang Xiao Shuai continued, "isn't it had long been broken by your desire, attraction and addiction toward him? The thing that should and shouldn't had all poured into your heart, so do you still have protective barrier? Touch your heart and see how many things are mixed inside!"
Wu Suowei looked sullen and opened his mouth after a while.
"I admit that my heart slightly leans toward him, but I can't be with him."
Jiang Xiao Shuai was about to have a mental break down, "Why? Why can't you be together?"
Wu Suowei turned silent, and finally erupted.
"If I'm with him, he will definitely fuck me!"
A minute later, Jiang Xiao Shuai laughed and fell on the ground.
