Chapter 16: The Worries of Five P.M

Previous Chapter

At five o'clock in the afternoon.

Now it's the pigeon wrestling with the leopard

At five o'clock in the afternoon.

Thighs with sad horns

At five o'clock in the afternoon.

The bass strings sounded

At five o'clock in the afternoon.

- Lorca

There are drops of water on the beard of the ficus, although the rain has not fallen, the weather is still gloomy, which makes people always feel sullen in their hearts, a little hungry, they want to eat the egg fried rice and Orleans roast wings on the stall at the back door, follow the fragrance to find it, sit on the small stool next to the low wooden table, and watch the children laugh while waiting, I think it's really good, obviously they are all in their twenties, I only envy their vigor and vitality. The brown roasted wings are accompanied by the granular egg fried rice, the taste is just right, and it is even better with a bottle of Sprite or Coke, I am satisfied to nibble on the roasted wings and chew the rice, this kind of calm day is a small blessing in life, I can't help but feel better, I want to laugh but choke. A bottle of Coke was handed to me, holding Coke was a slender hand, I looked up, it was a somewhat unfamiliar face, he looked at me and smiled, wearing a vertical striped shirt looked more elegant and gentle.

"Sister, this is for you to drink, I see you choked." He still smiled warmly.

"Well, I still don't need it, I'll go buy water to drink as soon as I'm done." I feel a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I just bought it from the aunt across the street." He waved at his aunt, who nodded and smiled at him.

I didn't speak, thinking about getting away as soon as possible. He didn't continue to speak, just sat quietly beside me. I finished my meal and strode back.

"Nanfang, wait a minute, I have something to ask you for help." He trotted to catch up with me.

"How do you know my name?" My eyes widened with astonishment.

"This sister, does she have such a bad memory? We met once, uh, in my second uncle's car. He scratched his head, as if he was embarrassed, I looked at him carefully, the more I looked at it, the more angry I became, the photo Li Hong sent me on the spot was obviously this person, blame myself, coveting beauty before falling into the trap.

"Oh, I remember, the person who talked to Li Hong that day." I'm actually still a little angry, angry and confused, and I don't really want to talk to him.

"Nanfang, I came here to look for you on business." His gentle smile became much more serious.

"I'm just a student, I'm stupid and stupid, what can I do? Alright, go back, brother, I don't want to have anything to do with that guy anymore. I waved my hand and walked on.

"Don't you want to get rid of him?" He frowned.

"He's not bothering me lately, and I can't get rid of him as my own business, so what does it have to do with you as a stranger?" I confronted him, and I really started to get impatient.

"Yuman, Yuman is worried about you." His sincere gaze didn't look like a lie.

"Yuman? Didn't Yuman go back and get married? "I was a little surprised.

"Yes, marry me." He said.

"Isn't that good? Yuman is a cute girl with a good personality, you are a handsome guy with a successful career, isn't it very good to be a talented and beautiful woman? I smiled.

"We all know about you and your second uncle." His gaze fell.

"Well, then you tell Yuman, if she is sincere about my worries, please keep it secret for me, if it leaks out, I have no face to stay in school, I can't be like her, take a leave of absence and get married as a wife." I was a little flustered in my heart, and I didn't care if I was hurting others.

He looked at me, a little angry, a little worried, and opened his mouth, trying to say something but not saying it.

"Then you go back to accompany Yuman early and tell her I'm okay." I think it's polite to give each other a step.

He turned and walked away.
