Chapter 47: The Storm (1)
When she woke up, Chen Ying had completely forgotten most of the content of last night's conversation, but her mood was much lighter and happier. This is not to say that Qin Hong said anything heartbreaking, or gave her a valuable gift, just waiting alone in the middle of the night in such a cold season was enough to make her satisfied. She had no intention of continuing to embarrass him, and she was happy to see their relationship undulating through the waves like a two-man sailboat crossing the sea. She knew he was coming back late, and she could imagine him yawning to work today. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile. Knowing that he is willing to put in the effort for this relationship is enough to make her excited.
"Why did you come back so late last night?" Wu Yun asked when he saw Chen Ying open the bed tent. Xiao Bai didn't know when he had jumped to the top bunk, and at the moment he was lying comfortably on Wu Yun's lap enjoying the caresse. Wu Yun's hair had been combed and carefully braided into two long braids at the back of his head. She had just put on a pair of silver heart-shaped stud earrings and looked left and right in the mirror.
"I talked to the foreign boss for a while, and I forgot to look at the time." Chen Ying shook her hair and sat up and opened the drawer, looking for the wooden comb she usually kept there.
"Qin Hong has been here, do you know?" Sun Wei said while eating breakfast.
"Yes. I ran into him downstairs when I returned. ”
"Did you quarrel?" Sun Wei asked without looking back.
"Nope." Chen Ying looked at herself in the mirror and said.
"Then why did he keep standing in the doorway?"
"Sun Wei." Wu Yun shouted, "Don't ask about some things anymore - Chen Ying will naturally tell us if he wants to." ”
Sun Wei walked out of the dormitory silently with a lunch box. Only then did Chen Ying notice that she had changed into a pair of soft-soled slippers with fur, and she walked silently. Wu Yun took the opportunity to slip down the ladder and sat on the chair next to Chen Ying. The cat also hooked her sweater tightly with its paws.
"Don't be angry." She opened her mouth and said, "Sun Wei didn't mean to. Because since nine o'clock last night, Qin Hong has called every fifteen minutes, asking if you are there and wanting to talk to you. We don't know what to say to him, and we don't know what happened to you. But his urgency was really scary, and in the end we didn't dare to answer the phone. Later, Sun Wei went downstairs to buy pancakes, and on the way back saw him standing in the carport waiting for you. ”
"It's nothing, there was some misunderstanding." Chen Ying said simply, "It's okay now." ”
"That's good." Wu Yun said softly. She stood behind Chen Ying with the cat in her arms, and watched Chen Ying gather the hair on the back of her head and tie it into a ponytail.
"Have you chosen your classes for next semester?" Wu Yun asked.
"I've chosen." Chen Ying turned to look at her and noticed that her sweater was extraordinarily loose, very different from the skinny style she usually liked. The cat squinted leisurely and shrunk into her arms.
"This is your clothes?" Chen Ying asked in surprise.
"yes."
"How do you feel so ......?"
"Hypertrophy?" After Wu Yun finished speaking, he looked down, "Well, it seems to be quite obvious." I've stopped taking antidepressants. But I still can't eat - it's good to be able to eat one meal a day, so I'm very thin now. However, I've now found a way to help boost your appetite. ”
"How?"
"Watching food shows and trying different cuisines."
"Does it work?"
"It's ok. Because I try new things, I don't feel psychologically disgusted, and I can still eat some of them. Doctors say that eating well can increase physical strength. ”
"It seems that I still don't want to lose weight in the future." When Sun Wei came back after washing the lunch box, she also washed her face, and a few strands of short hair on her forehead gathered together, condensing shiny droplets. She pulled the towel that was on the side of the bed and wiped it casually along her face. Then sit down at the desk, pull the small mirror in the corner of the table, and look at it carefully.
"Why?" Chen Ying asked jokingly.
"I ate too much delicious food with Wu Yun, and I thought what was the point of living if I went on a diet to lose weight?" Sun Wei noticed that a small white spot had newly grown on the left side of his nose, a bit like a budding pimple, so he concentrated on squeezing it. She took out a clean cotton swab and carefully diluted it next to the bleeding pox tip.
Wu Yun lowered his head and smiled, and Chen Ying also laughed. The early spring sunlight filtered in through the windows that opened the curtains and scattered all over the room as best it could. At this point, Chen Yingfang felt that he had truly returned to his old life. She looked up at the dusty shelves, where Peter Berg's 1985 book, The Wandering Mind: The Changing Consciousness of the Modernization Process, and Owen Goffman's 1961 masterpiece The Refuge were mixed together, and several of Anthony Giddens' books were about to expire. Standing barefoot on the desk, Chen Ying extracted these trivial details from her life and sorted them out one by one, while quickly establishing the day's action plan in her mind. Wu Yun looked at her from the side.
"I'm going to class, I'll be back at noon for dinner." Sun Wei put on makeup and stood up, blinking vigorously, as if to adapt to the newly worn false eyelashes. She playfully grimaced, draped over her coat and fumbled for a link buckle at the hem.
"Which class are you going to take?" Wu Yun asked.
"Oh, not a professional class in school." Sun Wei kept pulling the zipper above his collarbone and wrapped his bare neck with a scarf. Her face is set off by a fluffy scarf and hood, which makes her look cute.
"It's still the same bar exam training course." Before she left the door, she added, "Chen Ying, if you have time, you can come and see at noon, Qin Hong and I are in the same classroom." ”
Chen Ying nodded to indicate that she understood, and watched her close the door. The sound of her characteristic metal heel touching the ground quickly faded away. Chen Ying turned around and continued to sort out the books.
"Why did she advise you to come and have a look?" Wu Yun asked curiously.
"I probably want to see if Qin Hong and I have any awkward trouble." Chen Ying smiled knowingly, "You know, Sun Wei has always been very concerned about this kind of thing. ”
