I caught a cold!
On Monday, I feel very uncomfortable. It drag until Tuesday noon time. Jin Kang can’t take it anymore and he ordered me see doctor. I told Su and reluctantly took a taxi to the hospital. Not because I’m strong as an ox, but…… I think I might not have enough money to see doctor.
Sure enough, the nurse put me on drip. Su sit next to my bed with her small notebook and said: ‘Children is parents liability. Parents accept unlimited liability for their children ah.’
Su nagged me until I have two big head: ‘Aren’t you my sister? When did you escalate to become my mother ah?’
Su flick the small notebook and said: ‘You said ah, if your mother see all these mountain debt do you think she will strangle you to death?’
‘Not correct!’ I seriously thought for a moment, ‘She probably will hacked me to release her hatred.’
In the evening, I was in my third drip. Su went home to collect some items for me. I was alone in the ward, stumbled and fall asleep.
Half awake and half asleep, I feel a hand on my forehead. The hand with a gust of chill make my hot forehead feel refreshing. It feel so comfortable and I arch upward. Then it became two hands over my face. I subconsciously rub on it. Then it move down and stopped at my neck…… I than began to feel tickle.
I think I need to wake up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Yifan. The distance between us were so closed and he was rubbing my neck.
I said: ‘Yifan, what are you doing?’
Yifan said: ‘Hey, when I scratch my cat, he feel so comfortable he straight hum. How come you don’t hum, hum ah?
I said: ‘Yifan, if I’m your house cat do you know what I’m going to do?’
Yifan asked: ‘Do what?’
I replied: ‘I will scratch you until death.’
Yifan dragged a chair and sit next to me and said: ‘Guan Xiao Bei, I’m being kind to visit you. And you are not being gentle ah.”
‘Why don’t you ask what make me sick ah!’
Yifan thought for a moment and said softly: ‘I really don’t want you to jump into the lake. I just want you to go to the lake side, point to the sky and shouted “there is a UFO or something on the line” just to attract everyone’s attention will do’.
My depression cause me headache: ‘Your pathetic idea might as well I jump into the lake.’
I have another thought: ‘When you see me jump, you still have the peace of mind to go and pray for good Fortune Sticks?’
I really despise you this immoral, mind full of capitalist schemes!
‘But I won the good Fortune Sticks right? Half of the victory came from you.’ Probably Yifan saw my unhappy face, hastened to explain.
‘Who cares, you’re a housewife. Your love relationship has anything to do with me?’
Not right, I said to myself, you are getting old for a good marriage. Then, why got so much time to play with me.
After a while, I looked at him and said ‘Yifan ah, how come you visit me with empty handed. No balloon or flowers are fine. But not to the point no fruits and vegetables ah.’
Yifan said: ‘How come AC recruit such a layman like you.’
‘Yes, is a bit common, ha,’ I agree, ‘later I will become more refine.’
Yifan ah, how come you forgot to take away your cigarette? When he left, I hide at one corner, secretly open the package, I feel surprise and guilty because is not cigarette but full of cash.’
Yifan look at me: ‘lack of money?’
‘Cannot lack ah?’ If not because I can’t withstand, I will not come over to see a doctor.’ I put some grievances.
Yifan was a bit surprise: ‘When Lao Jin told me, I thought you are too dedicated to your work.’
I’m very dedicated, Because of my boss I even have to jump into the lake. Not dedicated ma!
