Chapter 43: I Am Such a Sucker (1/2)
Translator: Claire.KK
The train ticket Zhishu He bought was to Shenyang; then he would continue his journey to Hangzhou. According to his plan, the money left would be enough to rent an apartment for six months in Hangzhou, if he didn’t continue his treatment.
Zhishu He arrived at the train station at half past ten in the morning. It was still too early to take the departure.
He was very patient for waiting. After years of grinding, he had been accustomed to waiting and was quite good at it. The passengers crowded the station hall, and the seats were all taken. Zhishu He was not too tired, so he just stood aside from the crowding hall; however, his empty heart found no place to stop over.
Many people had foreseen the relationship between Zhishu He and Wenxu Jiang would end this way. Zhishu He’s mother told him that two men’s love would not last long, and Jiang’s mother even said that they would separate before 30 years old.
There was even a saying in the collection of Zhen Jian’s essays, “You walk the path you would; I return my way home.”
Even if they, two players in the game, could refuse to face the reality and entangle with each other till now, they still couldn’t escape from their final destination: Break up.
Time went really fast, and then it was past twelve o’clock. Zhishu He felt tired for standing too long, so he went to buy a bottle of water to drink.
At that moment, he heard people in the entrance suddenly started to make bustle and noise, and saw a man in grey wind coat rush through the hall with a dozen of guards in black suits following him. Two of the guards came to talk with the staff in the station, while others, each holding a picture, began to look for someone.
Zhishu He just stood aside in a daze. At first, he was curious about why these men would make such a riot. However, only when Zhishu He laid his eyes on the tall man in grey wind coat, did He immediately recognize that the man was Ziyu Ai.
Ziyu Ai spotted Zhishu He in the crowed at once; then Ai strode over in a fast step. No sooner did Zhishu He realize what was going on than Ziyu Ai came in front of him.
“Zhishu He, You fucking freaked me out!” Ziyu’s eyes were red with rage.
“You really think a goodbye is enough? Just quit the treatment? How can you say that so easily? Why don’t you just say you want to commit suicide?” Ziyu Ai seized Zhishu He’s wrist, and roared at He in complete disregard of the people around, “What do you take with you? Where is your bag? Where are the medicine bottles?”
Zhishu He tried to pull his hand back with a frown, “Doctor Ai, Don’t be like this.”
“Right, I’m fucking cheap and I ask for it! You’ve told me all, but I am such a sucker and always over the top!”
Ziyu Ai pulled Zhishu He out as he was saying, “I was afraid that you would do something stupid, so I asked guards and emergency doctors to break into your house. What if I haven’t use GPS to locate you, are you going to die outside? ”
Zhishu He, who barely woke up from the chaotic situation, was reluctant to leave with Ai. What was more, He just couldn’t stand being harassed by a man who was unreasonably angry with him, even if He was good-tempered.
“I am free to die wherever I want to die! What kind of doctor are you? You looked like a mafia, breaking into my house and following me here when so many patients are desperately waiting for their doctor!”
Ziyu Ai stood still, condescendingly staring at Zhishu He’s eyes like a bully, saying in a domineering voice, “Among all these patients, you are the only one I want to heal. You can’t escape from me.” Ziyu’s image of a gentle doctor in white disappeared completely.
