Chapter 13: The Female Boss's Past
"It's home! It's home! I shook Xiao Yun awake who was sleeping soundly.
She rubbed her eyes, opened them slightly and looked at me before slowly standing up and getting out of the car with my tug.
"Where?" She finally opened her eyes, no longer as slightly open as they had just been.
"Arriving home?" I repeat it again.
"Whose house are you in?" She asked.
"Of course it's to~" I hurriedly stopped the words behind and didn't say it, could it be that it was about our family? No, why is this awkward?
"Where is it, of course?" She pressed again.
"Of course it's here, it's at your house!" I suddenly admired my own ingenuity, what a hurry!
She scoffed, "You mean to talk about our family, right?" Since you think so, how about building our home in the future? ”
"Don't you think! Girls speak shamelessly, can this kind of thing be said casually? ”
"What did you say?" She pursed her lips, and her anger index rose rapidly, "You dare to say that I am shameless? Zhao Xiaowen, I'm going to pick your skin! ”
I ran away in fright, and she chased after her.
"Don't run! Stop me! She shouted angrily.
The more she yelled, the faster I ran! "I just don't stop! See what you can do with me? I shouted as I ran, I really don't know where I got the courage to dare to resist her, we ran and chased and shouted, attracting the surprised eyes of passers-by, and thought that we were both crazy.
"Oops!" There were screams and falls from behind, and I thought it was a deliberate trick on her part, so I ignored it, ran again, and found that there was no movement behind me, so I turned my head to look back and found that she was really slumped to the ground, with a painful expression on her face.
Frightened, I ran backwards, and when I got to her, I was ready to pick her up.
"Don't touch me, I don't want you to care, you insult me, bully me, humiliate me, you let me die, I don't want you to care, you go!" Xiao Yun said angrily.
"Don't be angry, I was joking with you."
I saw that her right ankle was swollen, I think she accidentally sprained her ankle when she was running hard just now, and she wanted to get up on her own.
"Don't move!" I hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were really hurt, it's all my fault." ”
"Don't fake an apology, I don't eat this, you say don't move, don't move? I want to move! She was really stunned, only to feel that her whole body trembled, and tears came down, probably because it hurt a lot.
"It hurts—" She exclaimed, her voice dragging out.
"Don't move anymore, if you move this foot again, you'll be crippled, and you'll have to wait for a lifetime of crutches." I threatened.
She seemed to be frightened by my words and hurriedly asked, "What then?" I don't want to be on crutches for the rest of my life. ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, as long as you're obedient and don't move, it's not in the way."
She nodded slightly, "So what now?" ”
I looked around and found a clinic not far away, "Don't worry, I'll carry you to that clinic, I will bandage you first, see what the follow-up situation is, if the situation is not ideal, you will have to go to the hospital for treatment." ”
"Alright! In order not to be on crutches in the future, everything is up to you. ”
I gently carried her on my back, step by step to the clinic, and I remember that when I carried her last night, she slept like a dead pig and drooled, and I thought to myself, I won't tell her this, lest she be shy for days.
When I arrived at the clinic, the doctor was a middle-aged woman in her 40s, wearing a white lab coat, and I saw a work sign pinned to her chest that read "Dr. Zhang".
When she saw us coming in, she hurriedly walked over and asked about the situation, "What's wrong?" ”
"Dr. Zhang, her foot is sprained!" I responded.
"How did you twist?" Dr. Zhang asked.
"It's a running twist." I replied.
"I'll take a look!" She took a closer look at the swollen part of Xiao Yun's ankle, and then pinched it a few times with her hand, and Xiao Yun's brows wrinkled in pain.
"It's okay! There is no problem with the bones, but the meridians have been damaged, and some bruising medicine is pushed, and it will recover in a few days! ”
"Huh? So I won't have to use crutches anymore? Xiao Yun asked in surprise.
"Little girl, you're laughing!" Dr. Zhang glanced up at me, could she be suspicious that I told Xiao Yun if she was using crutches, she continued: "This injury is not a big deal, if you are not afraid of pain, I will give you a push now, to ensure that you can stand up tomorrow!" ”
"Can you just walk when you stand up?" Xiao Yun asked.
"That's not enough, if someone helps you, you can still walk for a while, but it depends on whether some people have time to take care of you and whether they can help you practice walking more." She glanced at me, then looked back at Xiao Yun, I thought to myself, I don't know what to say about me, she continued, "The more you practice, the faster you recover!" ”
"Then hurry up and give me a push!" Xiao Yun said happily.
Dr. Zhang took out some bruising medicine from the medicine cabinet and handed it to me, I paid for it, and then she picked up a red bottle with liquid from the medicine bottles, and when she opened the cap, a strong smell of medicine rushed to her head.
"Young man, you see how I push, and when I go back, you push like this."
I nodded.
She poured some of the liquid from the bottle into the swollen place of Xiao Yun's ankle.
"It's so cool!" Xiao Yun said in surprise.
"There's mint in it, it's naturally cool, little girl, you have to endure it."
Then I saw Dr. Zhang pushing the swollen part of Xiao Yun's ankle in the opposite direction, and just pushed it like this, and I saw that Xiao Yun's face that was still smiling just now instantly became exaggerated.
"It hurts!" Xiao Yun shouted loudly.
Exaggerated screams, I couldn't bear her pain, I couldn't bear her to endure such torture, so I quickly put a hand to her mouth, she seemed to understand what I meant, and bit my hand in one bite, whenever Xiao Yun felt pain, I could feel that the flesh on my hand was about to be bitten and bleed.
After the massage, I saw Xiao Yun sweating profusely, and then looked at her injured ankle, and found that the swollen area was much better than before.
I took out a napkin and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead, and she looked at me with a sigh and a smile on her face again.
"Thank you! You're so nice! ”
"Don't say thank you! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hurt! You should blame me. ”
"That's it! Don't flirt with each other! Dr. Zhang said: "Today's massage, the blood has just dispersed, and I have to rest for a period of time after I go back, and I will not be able to walk on the ground until tomorrow, do you remember?" ”
I thought to myself, Xiao Yun and I are separating primary and secondary responsibilities, why did it become flirting? What's the point of just arguing with her about that? So I didn't take it to heart.
"Remembered!" I nodded.
"Thank you, Dr. Zhang!" I continued, then took the medicine I had just prescribed, picked Xiao Yun up again, and slowly walked out of the clinic.
The sky is slightly dark, and the streets are lit with neon lights.
"I'm a little hungry, what about you?" Xiao Yun asked.
"A little, then I'll carry you to the restaurant first, don't move on your back, otherwise you'll be in trouble if you hurt your foot again!" I said.
"Well, I'll listen to you!" She nodded and said, looking very docile, I never thought that she would be so well-behaved?
I carried Xiao Yun into the restaurant of the female boss I knew, and then found a table where no one was there, and slowly put her into the seat, and my act of carrying the girl into the restaurant attracted the attention of the other diners, who would turn their heads to look at us from time to time as they lowered their heads to eat, as if to know what the hell these two people were doing?
After a while, the female boss came over with a smile.
"Yo! Not bad! The female boss patted me on the shoulder and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you found such a beautiful girl?" ”
I laughed dryly twice, thinking that this kind of thing can't be explained clearly, in case the explanation is not good, it angers Xiao Yun, and the scene is out of control, and I will lose face.
She patted me on the shoulder again and said, "Say, what kind of good dishes can you order for the pretty girl?" ”
I turned my head to look at Xiao Yun and motioned for her to eat something.
"I've run a lot of roads today, so it's better to eat something cold, first with a plate of cold cucumbers, and then a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded potatoes." Xiao Yun said chicly.
"Yo! The girl is good, straightforward and fast-talking, and she is an understanding person! The landlady smiled and exclaimed, "Do you want a crucian carp soup?" The landlady asked.
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Well, crucian carp soup is good, nutritious, and can quench your thirst!" Then take a share! ”
"Okay!" The landlady answered, then turned around and went to prepare.
"Zhao Xiaowen, you're pretty good, huh? Do you know the hostess? She glanced at me and said.
"I've come here to eat, and I'll get to know each other after chatting, this is not what I deliberately know, this shop is opened by this female boss, I haven't seen her husband, everyone who comes here to eat calls her the female boss, no one calls her the boss, and she almost knows all the people who come here, don't you think about it?"
"Really?" She said, squeezing my hand.
"You just pinched my hand off, I said the same thing, I don't believe that the female boss will come after a while, you ask her to go."
At this time, the landlady came out with the food and put it on our table.
I glanced at Xiao Yun, turned her arm with my hand, and whispered, "Do you want to ask?" ”
She glared at me fiercely and whispered, "Shut up!" ”
Our action happened to be seen by the female boss, and I only heard her say: "It's good for a little couple, you can flirt like this in public, let's talk about it!" The landlady turned her gaze to me and continued, "I want to hear what you want to ask?" ”
Xiao Yun lowered her head and ate cold cucumbers, she didn't seem to take the words of the female boss to heart, it seems that she is going to put the right to speak in my hands.
I smiled awkwardly, "That's right!" I scratched my head with my hand, "We're talking about why we only see you in the store and not your husband?" "It seems disgraceful for me to inquire into her privacy, but since I have asked, I can only ask hard.
Unexpectedly, the proprietress paused, her eyes turned red, I thought I should say something, and suddenly she opened her mouth, and I was embarrassed to interrupt her, so I had to listen patiently.
"It's okay if you asked, this matter has been in my heart for a long time, and if you want to say this, you have to start from ten years ago, when I was also a graduate of Capital University!"
I raised my head in surprise, looked at the female boss in front of me in disbelief, and asked in surprise, "Are you a graduate of Capital University?" ”
The landlady nodded.
"As a graduate of Capital University, why did you open a restaurant here?" I asked, surprised.
She made a gesture, signaled me not to ask any more, and was silent for a while before she spoke: "My surname is Yu, my name is Jing, I am fifty years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, ten years ago I studied at Capital University, I am also a high-achieving student, during college, under the introduction of a friend, I met a boy from the foreign department, his surname is Zhang, list, five years older than me, not only handsome appearance, reading is good, I fell in love with him at first sight, and since then fell in love, he is also very good to me, we have spent a sweet college life with affection, It was really the happiest and sweetest time of my life,"
She said a little sensational, and then continued: "On the eve of graduation, he suddenly told me that he was going to study abroad for a master's degree, this news was really a bolt from the blue for me, but I couldn't stop his future development, I said to him, I support you to study abroad, boys are going to go out to break through, increase some knowledge, I am not by your side after going abroad, you have to take good care of yourself, I will always wait for you to come back;
He kissed me on the forehead affectionately that day, I was very happy, but I haven't seen him since then, one night, I was walking alone on the way back to the dormitory, I felt very lonely, after returning to the dormitory, I cried all night, no matter how my roommate persuaded me, I couldn't stop crying, because I knew that I was separated from him for three years;
Since then, many of the people who have pursued me have been rejected by me one by one, I have only exchanged letters with him a few times in three years, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye, but what I am waiting for is not him, but the news that he continues to study for a doctorate, I told him that I will continue to wait for him, and in the remaining two years, I keep cheering myself up, and I have waited for three years, so why bother with these two years?
But I know that as I get older, all the uncertainty makes my heart uneasy, and two years have passed, and I am waiting for not only him, but also a girl who is ten years younger than him and better than me. ”
She wiped her tears with her hand and continued: "On the day we met, he put his arms around the little girl and said to me, her name is Nana, she has a graduate degree, she is his current girlfriend, his future wife, he told me that there is no relationship between him and me for a long time, and asked me not to pester him in the future, listening to his words, I burst into tears, I even thought of death, and the five-year wait turned out to be such an ending? ”
I deeply sympathize with her plight, and hate such a man, I really didn't expect that the female owner of a restaurant would be a top student at Capital University, let alone that she would have such a tragic experience, and that there would be such a man in the world?
I felt that Xiao Yun next to me was also a little sad, although she didn't say a word.
"I'm sorry! Boss, we shouldn't have mentioned your sadness. I apologized.
"Nope! This has nothing to do with you, I feel uncomfortable when I don't say it, but now I feel much better when I say it. She continued to wipe her tears and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your meal, you go on." Then she turned and walked behind the curtain of the diner's door.
This meal, Xiao Yun and I both felt a little heavy in our hearts!
